Among Evan Warren's companies, Aegis Corporation also has a special status because of its special business relationship.

He doesn't care about the profitability of Aegis, he only looks at how much help he can provide.

Half of the so-called help is its force, and half is the unspeakable power it possesses.

However, since it is superficially cloaked in the shell of a company, it is impossible not to pursue profits. What's more, its founder, Vidak, really wanted to make a career out of it.

Therefore, although Evan did not ask for it, Vidak also participated in the feast of dividing up 20 million.

In recent years, under the management of Vidaq and the vigorous promotion of Cliff Cap, the security business has expanded to San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, California, and opened branches in New York, Washington, and Chicago. The development of training services has been relatively slow, and only the first sub-base has been opened in San Francisco. However, even so, because the security business has established a reputation in Hollywood, the scale of Aegis's business has swelled to the million-dollar level this year. However, this size is naturally not worth mentioning compared to the company.

Therefore, it is impossible that Vidaq does not want to take advantage of this opportunity to grow the company.

After all, being a member of the same council, it is not very good-looking for Aegis to be so weak.

Victor's development plan is more modest, but he doesn't want to put the Aegis sign on a few more sides and hang it in other big cities in the United States. This can be said to be not difficult at all when Aegis has straightened out its business processes, from training to task rules and regulations to charging models to talent accumulation.

As long as you have money to back it up.

Therefore, the cities that Vidak's plan plans to put up signboards include the top 15 cities in terms of comprehensive strength in terms of economy, population, etc.

Evan understood Vidak's idea, so although Vidak's plan drew opposition from many on the board, he expressed his support, allowing him to get more "subsidies" than Applied Physical Systems, totaling 4.5 million.

Such a large piece of cake made Vidak, who was expressionless at all times, smile suddenly, but it also made Carlsen a little uncomfortable.

With only 7.5 million shares left, Carlson needs to share with applied semiconductors.

Although Xerox's situation has improved a lot this year, Carlson is not satisfied and is still ready to continue to increase investment. But when he thought of competing with applied semiconductors, he was embarrassed to speak.

You know, it's Evan who is sitting in the seat of the applied semiconductor company right now.

From the fact that Evan moved his office to Applied Semiconductor, you can know how much he attaches importance to this, and in this case, how can Carlson have the courage to grab the cake with the boss.

So, when it was Carlson's turn to speak, he simply put the initiative in Evan's hands and let him speak first.

However, Evan did not answer and continued to follow the original order.

"Carlson, talk about your plan first, then set the budget, and don't think about anything else. ”

"I said 20 million, and that's just an approximate number. ”

As soon as Evan said this, Carlson had no worries and submitted Xerox's plan for the coming year with peace of mind. It's largely similar to the plan of an applied healthcare company, with the same focus on R&D and marketing. After some haggling, the Board of Trustees finally granted him the same amount as Applied Health.

Finally, it was the turn of Applied Semiconductor.

Under the curious gaze of everyone, Evan expressed his expectations for the application of semiconductors next year. For the first time, the general plan for the application of semiconductors was publicly displayed.

"The business of applied semiconductor companies is clear from its name. ”

"Commercializing semiconductors is the goal of an applied semiconductor company, and everything related to it will come into its business. ”

"Of course, you have to eat the food one bite at a time. At the moment when the company was created, the applied semiconductor company will focus on the application of semiconductor germanium, and the main product will be the germanium transistor invented by me. ”

"What is the use of transistors, not much is said here. Well, Wells, let me tell you in particular, if the performance of the transistor is further improved, the radio made out of it can be so small that it fits in your pocket. ”

"Okay, put away the sparkle in your eyes, and save what you want to say for later. ”

"In addition to the production of germanium transistors, the main focus of applied semiconductor companies in the near future will be on research and development, and the projects currently under research include transistor production equipment and so on...... The product doesn't come out anytime soon, so it needs to continue to invest in R&D. ”

"However, the size of the funds will not be very large. Although I said at the beginning that there are 20 million for allocation, well, there are still 2.5 million left, but for the time being, the application of semiconductors will not be used so much. ”

"I only need 1.5 million. ”

Other companies' plans need to be discussed and approved, and Evan certainly doesn't need them here. Before Evan could ask if it was okay, everyone nodded.

After the funds were allocated, seeing that it was still early, Evan chatted with everyone about current affairs. From the current situation in California, where everyone is based, to the future economic trend of the United States, to how the Korean Peninsula War will affect the whole world, everyone has their own opinions.

As for California, everyone is optimistic that Evan's father, Earl Warren, won the gubernatorial election for the third time in November.

There is also a positive view of the U.S. economy, which will continue to improve as inflation is brought under control.

Of course, because of the outbreak of the Korean Peninsula War, some people are cautious, thinking that if the war continues to deteriorate, for example, China will lose the enemy, which will lead to the Soviet Union entering the war, and the Cold War will turn into a hot war...... The collision of two poles is terrifying to think about.

Evan is certainly on the optimistic side of this. He was also not afraid of revealing the secret of heaven, and directly predicted: "The war that is going on there on the peninsula, to be honest, I don't think it's optimistic." ”

"The combat effectiveness of the Chinese army cannot be underestimated, although their weapons and equipment are not good, but their tactical level and fighting spirit are not bad. ”

"I don't think this war will be easy to fight, and most of the time it won't last long. ”

"In addition, I don't think it is very likely that the Soviet Union will directly enter the war. After all, although it has successfully detonated the 'little boy' race, it is unlikely that it will be able to form a combat power that will rival the United States. ”

"And, more concerned than about the potential of the lifting of the embargo in this country, a people who are stoic, hard-working, and have a huge industrial population. That's why I support the collaboration between Wells and Akio Morita. ”

Evan's point of view can be understood by everyone, but he does not agree with the judgment of the Chinese army, and has refuted it. Evan didn't want to argue with everyone, just said that everyone would wait and see.
