Chapter 160: Genius
"Virginia, come down!"
At seven o'clock in the evening, Nina, who was ready for dinner, asked Evan to call someone to eat, and he was too lazy to shout at the top of the stairs to complete the task.
Not long after, there was a continuous stampede on the stairs, and a dozen seconds later, Virginia's figure appeared in the dining room.
"Bang!"
Virginia kicked Evan in the chair before she sat down.
Evan looked at his sister with innocence in his eyes, and Virginia snorted at him.
"What are you doing?" Nina glared at the siblings with a knife-sharp gaze, and said, "Sit down and pray." ”
After the pre-dinner prayer, the family chatted while eating.
Evan took the initiative to talk about the results of his trip to New York, especially the outcome of the case, and Earl nodded as he listened.
However, Evan did not mention the Alan Sprower incident for the time being.
After dinner, Nina and a few children watched TV in the living room, while Evan slipped into the study.
Earl, who was reading the papers, glanced up at Evan and asked, "Something?"
Evan closed the door and sat down in the chair across from his desk.
"It's ...... something," Evan paused and relayed Alan Sproul's words to his father.
Earl listened, and made no comment.
Evan said in a statement tone: "You are going to run for ......"
Earl nodded, and when Evan stopped talking, he asked, "Why, do you have a different opinion?"
Evan looked at Earl, whose eyes were as calm as water, thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No." ”
……
Evan spent three days in Sacramento, and during those three days, he was in the laboratory in Chester, in addition to discussing new products with Rona Anderson in the new product development department of the Magic Seven.
Plastic building blocks look simple, but in fact, there are many articles that can be made, otherwise Lego would not be able to rank among the world's top 500 with this.
Rona was a little frustrated because of the unsatisfactory block order, and Evan's arrival just relieved his worries.
On the 5th of July, Evan left for Los Angeles.
It's not that Evan doesn't want to spend more time at home, it's that he has to.
Applied Healthcare's Band-Aid plant was about to start production, and Carl called to say that Johnson & Johnson's chairman, Johnson II, would also be in attendance, and Evan would not be absent.
Virginia was back in Los Angeles with Evan, so Isaac was the editor with him.
On the way, Evan, who was in a car with Virginia, talked about Robert buying stocks.
"Virginia, you gave so much money to Robert, aren't you afraid that he will be lost?"
Virginia didn't answer Evan's question, but asked in surprise, "How did you know Robert was speculating in stocks?" ”
Evan pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Why can't you take me with you? I did something wrong and let you abandon me!"
Virginia gave him a blank look and said, "I won't take you, you have too much money, and Robert can't handle it." ”
"I invested in Robert, just to let him practice. ”
"Very good...... Same as I thought. Evan nodded, agreeing with Virginia's clever approach, "By the way, why did Robert suddenly remember to invest in the stock market?"
Virginia said, "I know that. ”
"When she was in New York, Nina took Robert and the others to visit 11 Wall Street, where Robert heard about something. ”
11 Wall Street is the address of the New York Stock Exchange.
Evan asked, "What's the matter?"
"I heard that there was a guy who started trading stocks at the age of 11 and made more than $50,000 when he was 16 years old. ”
Knowing this, Robert became interested in how to make money from the stock market. ”
After listening to Virginia's explanation, Evan's face became a little strange.
Started trading stocks at the age of 11?
How does this person's experience sound familiar?
This guy can't be surnamed Warren Buffett, right?
Evan asked Virginia if she knew the name.
"I don't know......" Virginia shook her head, "What, Evan, do you think this is true?"
"I think it was created by the salesmen of the exchange to attract ordinary people into the stock market. ”
Virginia was determined: "How can an 11-year-old child know how to speculate in stocks? No matter how talented he is, he can't be so geniused!"
Evan smiled disapprovingly, not rebutting her words.
There really is such an unreasonable and genius guy in the world.
……
Chicago, Cage Avenue, near Evergreen Park, a small shop called "Magic House" has just opened.
At nine o'clock in the morning, under the bright sun, Jerry Slocum rode his bicycle to this special little shop.
"Magic House" is said to be a small shop, but the store area is not small, and there are still hundreds of square meters. There are not many types of products on the shelves of the store, but there are only three categories, namely the "Plane Walker's House" card, the Rubik's Cube, and the Magic Building Block.
The shelves occupy only a small part of the area, and the remaining area is occupied by a neatly arranged small table with a special pattern painted on the small table, which is the structure of the "Plane Walker's House" battle area. The walls around the shop are occupied by huge paintings of various summons and game characters.
Obviously, this is a Magic Seven Company product store, and it is also a center of activity for card players.
Jerry has been a regular customer of the shop since it opened. Not only did he come by himself, but he also introduced the place to the people in his Rubik's Cube Club.
Jerry, who loves mind games and is famous for his Rubik's Cube, is very satisfied with his trip to New York. Although he didn't get a good place, there was another surprise.
This surprise is the new product of the Magic Seven Company.
Whether it's magic bricks or the "Plane Walker's House" card game, which he simply calls "magic cards", Jerry loves it.
Magic bricks can stimulate people's desire to create, and the ever-changing magic cards are even more addictive.
Jerry prefers the latter to the former. Not only because the former is more suitable for small children, but also because the latter is a social game that requires at least two people to play.
The influence of the Rubik's Cube on Jerry is huge, as can be seen from this. You know, in the past, he could be said to be a typical otaku who was not good at communicating with people, but now he likes to socialize.
After putting the bike away, Jerry pushed open the glass shop door and immediately felt a chill.
"Hi Jerry, good morning!"
The store manager behind the counter saw Jerry and greeted him warmly.
Jerry, who is well-known in this area, has brought a lot of popularity to the shop, so the store manager especially likes to meet him.
At the same time, several of the same friends sitting at the game table also raised their hands to summon them one by one.
"Jerry, come on, let's have a sealed game. ”
Jerry waved to the store manager and asked for a glass of iced Coke, then walked up to his friends and said with a smile: "What, do you think your luck has improved? I hope you have enough money to deliver the newspaper in the morning!!"
"Jerry, don't be angry, see if we don't beat you down today!"
