The governor and his wife quietly came to Pasadena without informing anyone. Theoretically, the governor and his wife should be on vacation somewhere at this point.

As Earl Warren said to Evan, he came to Los Angeles on a special trip.

Their arrival was only notified to Evan alone, not even Virginia in Los Angeles.

The Barton father and son will be there because Evan's recent actions have something to do with them.

Audrey was brought over by Evan because of Evan's selfishness.

It's true that the Caltech campus on Saturday will be a little quieter than usual, but there will still be a lot of pedestrians on the road. Still, Evan walked around the campus with his parents, not at all worried about being recognized.

Evan and Earl walked ahead, Audrey and Nina were two steps behind, and exchanged intimate ideas.

The conversation between father and son is not as vivid as that between the prospective mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Their state is not so much an interaction as Evan being questioned by Earl.

Earl asked, "Did you decide to enter the banking industry?" or did Alan Sprowe give advice?"

Evan said, "It's my dictatorship. ”

Earl asked, "Why? Banking, do you know a lot?"

"I've learned that your companies are very prosperous, and you're still a student...... Don't you think you're in too much of a hurry?"

"Evan, tell me, you are running a factory, doing research at school, and running a bank, so many things are piled up, which one thing is what you really want to do?"

"Evan, people's energy is limited, it is impossible to do everything, always score the priority in doing things, be careful and out of control, and end up with a bamboo basket for nothing. ”

Evan naturally had to explain Earl's question, otherwise he would be sorry for his love and help in acquiring the bank.

"Dear Father, I'm sorry to worry you. ”

"For banks, to be honest, I probably don't know much more about it than you do. However, entering the banking industry is not a whim of mine, but a preparation for a long time. ”

"Of course, the reason why we entered at this time is that there is a certain contingency factor. Because it's not uncommon for a bank to be on the verge of bankruptcy. ”

"You ask me what I really want to do, and it's all I do. ”

Earl asked, "Become a businessman?"

Evan shook his head and said, "That's not accurate enough. ”

"Father, you should know the surnames Rockefeller and Morgan, right?"

Earl looked at Evan in amazement, "Of course, one is the king of oil, and the other is the overlord of Wall Street. ”

"They are legends in this land of America. ”

"Evan, you're targeting them...... It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that that's too ambitious, isn't it?"

"Maybe......" Evan smiled disapprovingly at Earl's reaction and said, "That doesn't stop me from making them targets in my heart, does it?"

"What is the power of the Rockefeller and Morgan families, you should know something about it, father. They all have banks at their core, and then, like spiders, build a web of companies that span finance, utilities, industrial manufacturing, and services. This system is called the consortium. ”

"My goal is to build a consortium with the Warren family name. ”

"Father, you may not think so, think that I am talking big, just with my one of the production of toys, the other of medical bandages, the other of small electrical appliances, these three factories plus a small bank, how can one day be named a consortium. ”

"I would say that it's a bit of a difficult goal, but I'm confident. ”

Seeing that his son didn't seem to be talking, Earl asked, "Why?"

Just when the father and son came to the vicinity of the Physics, Mathematics and Electronic Engineering Building, Evan pointed to the floor of the laboratory he had founded and said, "It belongs to the Warren Leiden Lab, and that's where my confidence lies." ”

Earl was obviously well aware of his son's research, and as soon as Evan said this, he asked, "Why are you so confident in the prospect of transistors?" ”

Evan said confidently, "Because I hold the truth in my hands." ”

"Just like gravity, you can't see it, but it's real. In my eyes, the same is true for the future of transistors. ”

"The changes to the world that will be extended by it will not be much worse than the discoveries of the steam engine, the internal combustion engine, and electricity. ”

Although Evan's tone was so firm, Earl frowned when he heard this.

"Evan, it's good to be confident, but don't be arrogant. ”

"Maybe you're right about the future, after all, you're the inventor of the transistor, but how can you guarantee that you and your team will be at the forefront of transistor applications?"

"Because I have the knowledge that has been written in the textbooks in my head, and with my guidance, the team can get the most correct results with the least amount of money in R&D......"

This is the real reason, and it is where Evan's confidence lies.

Of course, Evan couldn't say why, so Evan replied to Earl with a different explanation.

"Father, your concerns are justified, but they are unnecessary to me. In my vision, the company that has not yet seen itself in transistors will be an important member of the consortium. If I had been surpassed by others in the technology I had invented, I wouldn't have to think about the consortium anymore. ”

"When I do things, I only plan for the future in such a way that no one can surpass me. The invention of the transistor, from the laboratory to industrial production, requires a huge amount of investment, so in the past few years, I will be in the university, relying on state funds to advance. ”

"When the time comes, it's time for the business to take over. ”

Earl easily understood Evan's plans, "But, in your plans, it seems that this bank doesn't need to appear?"

Evan explains: "Father, this bank naturally has a purpose for existence. ”

"As a consortium, there is a need for a bank to act as a blood transfusion center, and of course, in terms of its current size, it is far from being called a blood transfusion center. But, just like my age, they're all growing. I believe that when the size of the bank grows to a certain extent, it will naturally come in handy. ”

Earl was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "You don't trust other banks?"

"If I just want to be an ordinary entrepreneur, it doesn't matter if I trust or distrust," Evan said. But I want my businesses to move at my pace, including the banks. There are bound to be a lot of decisions that seem risky and the average bank backs down. ”

"I felt that instead of taking the time to convince them, it was better to have an obedient bank myself. ”
