Chapter 192: Collecting Hearts and Answering Questions
Defining goals and looking to the future is an essential skill for every leader.
This skill is commonly known as painting flatbread.
This flatbread, which usually hangs on the wall, is generally composed of two things, one is the spiritual sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, and the other is the tangible material reward.
Usually the latter has an immediate effect, but sometimes the former can be more helpful if the leader does it well enough.
In a sense, New China is the best example. Without that group of idealistic people, it is estimated that China is still poor and poor.
And at this moment, everything Evan is doing is also painting a pie. In his flatbread, money is the main ingredient.
"Follow me, and you'll get what you're going to get. I was so young, so rich and talented, and I said that everything is possible. ”
That's what Evan wanted to say at the annual meeting, but didn't say it explicitly.
And Evan believed that everyone in the room understood what it meant.
……
The not-so-lively annual meeting ended in the middle of the afternoon, and Davidson and the others were going back to Sacramento and left the same day.
However, two people were not in a hurry to go back. They are Dr. Chester and House.
As soon as the annual meeting was over, Chester approached Evan and wanted to talk to him alone.
As the first research-oriented talent to be discovered by Evan, Chester knew how much Evan valued his inventions. Evan spent hundreds of thousands of dollars over two years to get the photocopier available, not including the researchers' salaries. It is the most expensive of the current projects. And after spending all this money, the result is only a prototype that is not even a semi-finished product, and it is not known how much time and money it will cost to bring it to the market. For this, Chester is not in a hurry at all, it is impossible. However, it was also because Chester knew that Evan valued him and his invention very much, and his urgency was, in terms of the speed of a vehicle, between two legs and a car, the equivalent of a bicycle.
But when Chester learned about Evan's "ambitions," he knew he needed to make a change.
The person who was able to invent the photocopier was certainly not a fool. Chester understands that in order to make the Alphabet Consortium, or the Warren Consortium, take shape, it is not enough to rely on the company Magic Seven and the Rubik's Cube as a money-making product. Evan needed more hematopoietic machines, which led him to invest heavily in the development of new products at Applied Physical Systems. Chester couldn't fully tell if Evan's choice of television and microwave would be another money-making product in the future, but he knew that the photocopier he had invented definitely had the potential.
Otherwise, Evan wouldn't have come to the door two years ago to buy his patent.
Now, Chester has two options in front of him.
First, he believed that he was the inventor of the photocopier and the importance of the photocopier to Evan, and demanded more benefits from Evan, and if Evan did not agree, he could even resign as a threat.
The other is to correct our own state and do our best to solve the problems in the prototype and make it a mass-produced product that can be practical.
Chester only thought about it for a moment and chose the latter. He knew that if he chose the former, the best possibility would be to return to a down-and-out situation.
For no other reason, Chester believes Evan has the strength.
In addition, Chester also vaguely felt that he did not seem to be indispensable to the photocopier product. At the very least, if necessary, Evan himself could lead the project himself.
"Evan, I know you have a lot of things to do, but in order to make the photocopier move faster, I think it's better to go back to Sacramento a few more times if you have time......"
When Chester found Evan, he said:
"If you think it's a long way and it's inconvenient, don't you ...... I'm moving the lab to Los Angeles?"
The purpose of what Everyster said was this. Chester was showing Evan that he was a big fan of Evan .
Naturally, Evan was happy about this.
Evan knew everything about Chester's slackness in the past six months, but because it was not the best time to launch a photocopier, he didn't rush and let Chester grind the foreign workers. However, Chester's ability to get his attitude right saved Evan a lot of effort.
If Chester had gone his own way, Evan would have been ready to sweep him away.
"Chester, the lab doesn't have to be moved. I have a lot of trust in your ability and believe that under your leadership, photocopiers will soon be on the market. After all...... You're the creator of it, aren't you?"
"However, I also think that the current progress is a little slower, so how about I allow you to recruit some more people into the lab?"
After dealing with Chester, Evan spoke to Dr. House.
If there was anyone who was most surprised by the meeting, Dr. House asked himself that it could be none other than him.
Because, among the sixteen people selected by Evan, he has the least role in Evan's industry, and he himself does not hold an important position in the company, and the only position, the consultant of the applied health care company, is only an honorary position.
So, Dr. House wondered why Evan had him attend the annual meeting as well.
He was only the Warren family's family doctor, and Dr. House didn't feel that he needed to be taken so seriously by Evan.
When Dr. House asked Evan directly, Evan smiled and shook his head, "Dr. House, do you think I'm going to be out of sight?"
Dr. House shook his head without thinking, the confusion on his face remaining.
Evan didn't sell it either, explaining unreservedly, "Dr. House, Applied Healthcare isn't going to stop at making the little bundy forever. ”
"The medical industry is a gold mine, and I'm ready to get a kick in it. To this end, the establishment of a pharmaceutical R&D team is an established matter. ”
"However, after all, drugs are a matter of human life, and the professionalism is much higher than that of other products, and the talents needed are even more rare. ”
"Dr. House, you know what I'm up to, right?"
"Of course!" House nodded, he didn't understand yet, presumably Evan was going to suspect that his title of "Dr." had been bought.
Dr. House attended Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, one of the top private medical schools in the United States. Over the years, although he had only run a small clinic himself, his activities were not limited to California. Through Dr. House's connections, Evan was able to easily connect with a group of highly skilled medical professionals.
Moreover, Dr. House's own level is not weak, otherwise the Warren family doctor would not be him.
That's where Dr. House comes in.
