Because of Walter's connections, Evan didn't deal with anything serious in the morning. However, even so, at noon he still went home to have lunch with Audrey and took a half-hour nap. At one o'clock in the afternoon, he returned to the office on time.

Then, before entering the office, he saw Carl and Linda waiting in the secretary's room.

As soon as they saw Evan, the two immediately got up from their chairs.

Evan pushed the door in, sat down in the chair behind the desk, and said, "Why are you here?"

Carl and Linda walked into the office one after the other, and Linda, who was behind, closed the door casually.

Out of nowhere, Karl took something out of nowhere and put it in front of Evan.

It was a magazine, and the cover was TIME, which Evan had only touched two hours earlier.

"The latest?" Evan asked, picking up the magazine and flipping to the table of contents, scanning the headlines one by one.

"Yes!" Karl said without a single superfluous word, "Look at page 26." ”

Evan didn't say a word, and immediately flipped to the place where Carl said, and then what came into his eyes was a photo, the photo showed a teenager, he was holding a trophy in one hand, and a certificate in the other, the shape of the trophy was nothing else, it was a Rubik's cube.

Obviously, this photo is a record of what happened at the Rubik's Cube competition that ended yesterday.

Next to the photo is a caption consisting of several lines of exaggerated letters.

"The Miracle of Wealth Created by Small Cubes".

The following text devotes three pages to introduce the development of the Rubik's Cube from its emergence to the present, as well as the scale, income, and influence of the company behind the Rubik's Cube, Magic Seven, at this time. The details are so detailed, the data is so detailed, except for the hidden inventor Evan Warren, it can be said that there are basically no mistakes.

However, in the article, not a single person from the Magic Seven Company also appeared.

After reading through the article at a glance, Evan tossed the magazine aside and looked up to see both Carl and Linda looking at him with gloomy faces.

"What's wrong? The expression is so scary...... Evan said in a relaxed tone, "It's just an article, nothing." ”

Evan's performance did not affect the two people opposite, Carl frowned and said, "Evan, you don't know the meaning of the back of the article in "TIME", please pay attention." ”

Linda said: "Some of the content written in the article is impossible for non-related people to know, and there must be someone in the company who has violated the agreement." ”

"I heard that Davidson was interviewed by reporters on Saturday. ”

"Saturday? That's fast!" said Linda, who suspected that Davidson had betrayed the company's information, but, after a little thought, Evan basically ruled out the possibility, "Linda, your concerns are valid, but I personally believe in Davidson." ”

"As general manager, a member of the board, Davidson has the right to be interviewed by the media and knows what to say and what not to say. ”

Hearing Evan's words, Linda paused for a moment, and then said, "So, are we overhearted?"

"No......" Evan looked at Linda and Carl and shook his head, "I didn't say that." ”

Carl didn't say a word, but Linda wondered, "What do you mean?"

Evan stood up, walked from behind his desk to the next guest area, and motioned for the two to follow.

Evan occupies the single couch facing the door, and Carl and Linda sit on his couch on the left and right sides of him.

"In fact, I just had an hour here this morning with a reporter from TIME. Evan crossed Erlang's legs, crossed his fingers with his hands, and wrapped his palms around his knees, "So, I'm already mentally prepared for this." ”

"What?" Linda hurriedly asked, "Are you being interviewed?"

Seeing Evan shake her head, Linda was relieved.

Karl was much calmer, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you see who is the mastermind?"

As soon as Carl's question came up, Evan understood that he also thought that the article had nothing to do with Davidson, but someone else had ulterior motives.

After hearing Carl's question, Linda also reacted and began to think deeper.

Evan glanced at Linda, who was thinking, and instead of answering Carl immediately, he asked rhetorically, "Who do you think it is?"

Karl thought for a moment and replied uncertainly, "Morgan?"

Linda listened, her eyes widened, and she looked at Carl in surprise.

Evan was noncommittal, and then asked, "What is the purpose?"

Carl tried to guess, "To bring us closer to Wall Street?"

Evan nodded slightly, "Except for Morgan, I'm pretty much the same as you think." ”

Linda looked at the two who seemed to be playing dumb riddles with a puzzled expression, and interjected, "Can you make it clearer?"

Evan smiled and asked, "What didn't you figure out?"

Linda blinked, "All!"

"Okay...... I'll start at the beginning!" Evan put down Erlang's legs, leaned back on the sofa, and said leisurely: "First of all, why do I think this matter has something to do with Wall Street - because I can understand the development process and sales data of the magic seven clearly...... By the way, the reporter I talked to for an hour was just as clear about the sales of SONY TV and Bondi...... Except for insiders, unless there is a strong organization to conduct a special investigation, only well-informed banks can do it, but the reporter's words are not easy and impossible not to attract our attention. ”

"And it's not enough to be a bank. Karl added in due course: "Because whether it is the Magic Seven Company or other companies, each state chooses a different main bank. ”

"I see. Linda nodded, "But why would Wall Street do that?"

Evan said: "Give us publicity. ”

"Publicity, to increase our fame and popularity?"

"Yes!" said Evan, "but, these are not free. ”

"And the fame isn't what I'm hoping for for the time being. ”

Linda said with a calm face, "So, they must take something from you in exchange. Otherwise, they won't stop. ”

Evan nodded, "So, what do I have in my hands that they want?"

Linda said: "A lot, for example, the shares of companies that show high value. ”

Speaking of which, Linda had already sorted out the logic, so she was angry: "So, Wall Street is forming a group to blackmail?"

Evan shrugged, "Almost." ”

In fact, blackmail is a bit heavy, and considering that it is only going on to the propaganda step at present, Evan feels that it is only coercion at best.

Linda looked at Evan sadly, "What are you going to do?"

Evan said, "What else can I do?

Linda said unwillingly: "Isn't that going to sell the shares cheaply?"

"Who said that?" Evan laughed, "I'm going to have a company go public in New York." ”

“？”
