Things in the world are so coincidental, Rick's Taft is really the Taft that Evan thinks, the Taft family that came out of William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States of America (this guy also became Chief Justice after leaving the presidency), and the Taft family with important positions such as Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Congress. The most prominent member of the Taft family at the moment is Robert Taft, who chairs the Industrial Relations Committee in the Senate. He is the eldest son of former President William, a representative of the conservative wing of the current Republican Party, the leader of the Senate majority, and is known as "Mr. Republican".

And the Rick in front of him, who was pulling Evan to drink illegally in violation of federal law, was the fifth son of "Mr. Republican".

After Rick reveals Evan's identity, he reveals his home to prevent Evan from misunderstanding.

Looking at the son of a family in front of him, who was higher than his own family in terms of background and family background, Evan was really a little speechless.

"Evan, don't think about those who don't, come, drink!"

Evan took a sip of red wine that he couldn't name under Rick's persuasion, thinking to himself that with this guy here, he probably wouldn't be able to be quiet in the future.

……

The new semester is busier than the previous semester, and in order to make himself better, Evan wants to apply for a waiver of some classes.

Evan's request was supported by Dean Dubridge, and with his level there, he easily got the exemption credit he wanted.

Of course, Evan applied for exemption from courses that seemed irrelevant to him, such as "Theoretical Physics," and he didn't even think about it.

Because of Professor Carl Anderson's business trip, the second week of the "Theoretical Physics" class this semester officially began.

The first week of classes is self-study.

In this class, Rick is also there.

Although he majored in mathematics, he took a number of courses in physics and chemistry. It is not surprising that theoretical physics, a course closely related to mathematics, will be taken by him.

"Hi, Evan!"

Seeing Evan sitting in the first row, Rick said hello, and then naturally sat down next to him.

It wasn't long before Professor Carl Anderson walked into the classroom, followed by a teaching assistant, his PhD student, Donald.

An hour and a half later, the lesson ended.

Under the watchful gaze of the adoring gaze, Evan left the classroom.

In the lecture just now, Professor Anderson asked Evan questions from time to time, and the questions were more and more difficult one after the other, as if to stump him. But Evan answered every question so well that a good lesson almost became a communication between their teachers and students.

Not far out of the classroom, Rick caught up, and Professor Anderson's attitude towards Evan was obviously a little abnormal, and he was curious.

"Evan, Professor Anderson seems to value you, and his questions are focused on you. ”

Evan said, "No, Rick, the professor was just trying to bang me at first. ”

Rick asked, "Why? Where did you offend him?"

Evan Yun said calmly: "It's not that I offended him, it's just that I didn't agree to be his student." ”

Rick was stunned for a moment, it was easy for people of their level to find a good mentor, but casually rejecting a Nobel Prize-level bull was not something ordinary people could do.

Stunned, Evan took several steps, and Rick quickly followed.

Such a willful, such a wonderful person, worthy of being my friend to Rick.

……

Inglewood, ACAH, Inc.

Alex Hoffman, product manager at Johnson & Johnson's Consumer Healthcare division, has been working on Johnson & Johnson. Hoffman) came to the door a second time with his assistant.

Carl greeted each other politely, and in his office, the two sides sat opposite each other.

Hoffman held a cigar in his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it. He crossed Erlang's legs and had an arrogant attitude.

After some nonsensical social rhetoric, Hoffman finally made it clear to Carl what he meant.

"Mr. Carl, have you thought about the Band-Aid?"

"I heard that your factory in Wilmington has been completed, is the next step to wait for the machines and workers to enter the factory?"

Karl smiled and replied, "Mr. Hoffman, I really didn't expect you to be so well-informed!"

"Is this little thing really so valuable that it deserves your attention?"

Hoffman put the cigar back in the box, lowered his legs, crossed his fingers, looked at Karl, and said, "I know its value, and you know it." ”

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have been unmoved after I quoted this price. ”

"So, Carl, you don't have to hide it, say, what is your decision?"

Hoffman didn't want to go on and on with Karl, to sell or not to sell, he wanted a clear answer.

Karl thought for a moment and replied, "Thank you, Mr. Hoffmann, but I'm ......sorry I can't agree to your request."

Hoffman didn't show any unusual expression when he heard this, Carl's decision was human, and so was his own decision.

After approaching several people associated with ACAH, Hoffman was not hopeful of acquiring the Band-Aid's patent in its entirety.

As a result, Hoffmann changed his original plan.

Hoffman nodded, and said in a businesslike tone, "Don't be sorry, Carl, I understand your decision. ”

"However, since the acquisition failed, I wonder if Carl is still interested in cooperating with us Johnson & Johnson?"

"Cooperation?" Carl was a little surprised, and asked with interest, "What kind of cooperation method?"

Hoffman said: "Any product that is produced always has to be sold, and you are just a start-up, and you definitely don't have the right sales channel." ”

"Building your own channel is a time-consuming and laborious task, as Carl is well aware. ”

"And our Johnson & Johnson is strong in the channel, and since Carl is involved in this industry, he should not be unaware. ”

"Therefore, the cooperation I am talking about is that our company is willing to provide sales channels, so that your products can be distributed to every hospital in the United States as soon as possible, and the channel fee does not have to worry about our lion's mouth, which is definitely a price that we can both accept. ”

The conditions given by Hoffman are not unfavorable, to be honest, Karl was indeed moved, but he knew that Hoffman had not finished speaking, so after Hoffman finished speaking, he asked: "What about the conditions?"

Hoffman named the conditions attached to the partnership: "As long as ACAH accepts the injection from Johnson & Johnson, that's fine." ”

"$1 million, 30% of the shares, Johnson & Johnson has the right to be a shareholder, including the presence of directors and financial auditors. ”

Carl's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't force the acquisition, so did he change the temperature to boil the frog......

Hoffman stared at Karl for a moment, and asked, "What about this condition?"

A moment later, in Hoffman's astonished gaze, Karl shook his head.
