"Ha Investment"

Morris, the elder brother of the MacDonald brothers, was surprised by Evan's true intention, "I say, young man, don't open your mouth to come." ”

"If you want to say come and visit, I may agree, but the investment ......"

Morris smiled and shook his head slightly.

Evan asked, "Don't believe what I said?"

"Do I look like a liar?"

"Not really. Richard MacDonald, his brother, who is seven years younger than Morris, chimed in: "You should be in the university library more than we are talking about here." ”

"Mr. Richard, it's summer vacation, and the university is out for the holidays. When Evan said this, the two brothers, who only had a high school education and were over forty years old, looked at each other, they didn't guess that this was indeed a college student, and then Morris asked, "By the way, after talking for so long, I still don't know what your name is?"

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Evan said, "My name is Evan Warren, you can call me Evan." ”

Richard asked, "What college did you attend?"

Evan replied: "Caltech." ”

Richard "Oh!"

Although he didn't go to college, Caltech in Los Angeles he knew it was a good school.

Morris said: "You just said you were interested in our model......"

Evan nodded, "That's right. ”

Morris asked, "What do you think is good about it?"

"As I said earlier, it has an industrial aesthetic," Evan said. As for the specific advantages, I believe you know better than me...... I guess you've learned a lot since you adopted this model, right?"

"I've inquired that although your shop opened eight years ago, it was last year that you started working in its current way, and just a year later, you decided to renovate. ”

"I just looked at it, and the focus of this renovation should be the kitchen, right?"

Although Evan did not answer Morris's question directly, what he said was something that the MacDonald brothers could not deny.

"You're right. We changed the layout of the kitchen to an assembly line to maximize efficiency and output. Richard said smugly.

Morris said, "Evan, you are very powerful, you can see it at a casual glance." ”

"That's why I want to invest in you. Evan accepted Morris's compliment with ease.

Morris said, "Evan, your vision, I've seen it. I know you're certainly not your average person. ”

"I don't doubt your ability to invest in ...... now"

"But...... Please don't blame me for being troublesome, you and I were still strangers before today, and please prove your identity, and ......"

"And my finances, right?" asked Evan.

"Yes!"

Evan touched his nose when he heard this, and said, "Self-identification, this is simple." ”

"This is my driver's license......" Evan said, pulling out a business card-sized ID and handing it to Morris, "It can prove that I am Evan Warren." ”

"As for the financial resources, this is a little troublesome, I am here to play with my sisters today, and there is nothing to prove the financial resources with the things I carry with me. ”

Evan thought for a moment and tried to ask, "Mr. Morris, do you have a TV at home?"

Morris shook his head and returned Evan's driver's license.

Evan asked again, "Do you know the Rubik's Cube?"

Morris didn't react, and Richard said: "I know, a new toy that I've seen others play with. ”

"That's my company's product," Evan said. ”

"It's a shame that none of you have bought it, though. ”

Morris was surprised: "You actually have your own company"

"Yes!" Evan nodded, "but again, that doesn't prove anything, after all, it's all possible that I made it up, huh...... Let me think about it. ”

"By the way, do you have a newspaper here? Oakland Tribune or whatever California newspaper ......"

Halfway through Evan's words, he suddenly remembered: "Ah, you guys are decorating, there must be no ......"

At this time, Morris smiled: "No, the newspaper is still there, in the dining car." ”

"Richard, you go and get it in. ”

Richard responded, "Okay." ”

After a while, Richard was holding a stack of newspapers from several different newspapers. After Evan took it, he rummaged through it and put an article with a photo in front of the MacDonald brothers.

The brothers were curious, what could be found in the newspaper to prove it for Evan?

The article was headlined: "10,000 people rally in Chicago for Republican candidates." ”

What does this mean?

The brothers were confused.

Evan pointed to one of the people in the photo and asked, "He...... Do you know?"

"Of course I do. Morris said, "Governor of California...... Earl Warren. ”

Richard said, "Governor Warren, I voted for him the year before last. ”

Huh? Earl Warren?

Evan Warren?

The brothers, who finally remembered the key point, looked at Evan in unison, and then at the photo in the newspaper, and after comparing them, they showed expressions of disbelief.

Evan smiled and said, "You guessed right, Earl Warren is my father. ”

"Well, there's no other special meaning to let you know this, I just think it will quickly convince you that I'm not a liar. ”

"Uh...... Now, do you believe I have the strength to invest?"

Morris glanced at his brother with a wry smile, and then replied, "Of course." ”

"Good. Evan continued, "Well, tell me what you think." ”

Morris thought for a moment and asked, "How do you want to invest?"

Evan said, "Well, I have two options here. ”

"Plan 1: We set up a joint venture company, you take the technology and management shares, if you want, this store can also be counted. You're in charge of the company's operations, and I hope to develop the store into a chain model. ”

"Option 2: I buy out your operating model and brand. ”

These two options were thought of by Evan on an ad hoc basis, so they are brief.

"By the way, I'm going to put different money into the two options. ”

Richard asked, "What's the difference?"

"In the former, I'm going to invest $500,000 all at once, increase the number of stores to 10 in a year, and then decide whether to increase the capital again, depending on the situation," Evan said. ”

"In the case of the latter, I would like to get an exclusive license, and I will let someone negotiate with you for the fee. ”

"Which one do you prefer?"

Richard was about to answer, but saw Maurice gently shake his head at him, so he kept silent.

Morris looked at Evan and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Warren, but, I'm sorry, this shop doesn't belong only to our brothers, and I need to consult with others before I can make a decision." And, for a while, we can't tell which option is more suitable, so why don't we make an appointment to talk about it at another time?"

Evan thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, in order to show sincerity, you can decide to contact me again." ”

"Bob, business card!"

Bob, who had been standing behind Evan like a stone statue the whole time, finally moved, took out two business cards from his pocket, and handed them to the MacDonald brothers.

Evan stood up, shook hands with the two, and said, "Well, I'll wait for your news." ”
