California Institute of Technology, Physics, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering Building, 1st Floor.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Wow!

As expected, it rained heavily in the dark sky. Standing in the corridor on the first floor, Layton wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the large wooden boxes that had been unloaded from the truck first, and was extremely happy.

"I'm glad I called you, if it's a little late...... With such heavy rain, there is no way to unload the cargo. ”

Kenneth and Webb, who had been porters with Layton, leaned against the wall, gasping for air. The size of the box is not small, and it takes a lot of effort on their part. Kenneth took a break and joked with Layton: "Doctor, we have done so much, is there a reward!"

Layton laughed, "Of course there is!"

Kenneth was pleasantly surprised and asked, "What is it?"

Layton stretched out his finger and pointed to the big box and said, "The reward is, the assembly of this thing will be handed over to you!

Kenneth's face drooped, and he exclaimed, "Ah! How is this a reward?"

Layton nodded, and said as a matter of course, "This is certainly a reward." ”

"Others won't let me pretend to be me!" It cost tens of thousands of dollars!"

Webb patted Kenneth on the shoulder and said, "The doctor is right, you see that I obviously have the same strength as you, so I don't have this opportunity." ”

Kenneth bowed his head in resignation.

After resting for a while, Layton clapped his hands and told Webb to go up to the lab and take the manual hydraulic pallet truck down. After a while, Webb returned with his tools, followed by a group of helpers, a total of five people, all new to the lab, both third and fourth graders.

A fourth-year newcomer rushed to say, "Doctor, come on, come on, leave it to us." ”

Leyton was happy to have someone to help, so he let go of his hand and took on the command: "You all be careful, the equipment inside is all good." ”

"By the way, don't you have any classes?

The students replied, "Yes!"

In less than half an hour, the box was carefully transferred to the laboratory. Instead of unpacking the box, Layton came to the office and wanted to discuss with Evan how to adjust the layout of the lab.

Evan didn't have a class this afternoon and came to the lab early.

"Evan ......"

Layton pushed the door open, stopping just as he called his name. It turned out that Evan was talking to someone on the phone, and he couldn't stop nodding into the microphone as he reached out to Leyton to ask him to wait.

Layton gestured and asked if he would like to come back later, and Evan shook his head and sat him down, gesticulating with a "right away" gesture in his hand.

Seeing this, Layton sat down.

"Okay, I see, I'll be over in the evening, I'll have to trouble you to work overtime. ”

"Good...... See you later!"

"Smack!"

The phone hangs up.

Evan looked at the list in Leyton's hand and asked, "The equipment has been delivered?"

"Yes!" Layton nodded, "Just moved in with Kenneth." ”

"Now the question is where to put it, do you have any requirements from your side?"

Evan waved his hand and said, "You can do this, just pay attention to security." ”

Although Leiden became an assistant professor, he habitually relied on Evan's opinion in the lab. Ewen was clear about his thoughts, but he really didn't have much interest in managing the lab, so there were some things that could be pushed.

Leiden didn't feel surprised by Evan's reaction, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll vacate the northwest corner and put the new equipment over there." ”

Evan was noncommittal.

Layton asked, "By the way, Evan, you're leaving school at night?"

Evan said, "Yes, there's something going on over there. ”

Layton hesitated for a moment and asked, "...... experiment that night?"

Just yesterday, their lab just tried to make a prototype of a junction transistor according to Evan's theory, and was supposed to test it tonight to see if it was successful. That's why those interns are so here today.

For such an important experiment, Evan, who is the backbone of the laboratory, is not ...... Layton didn't think it was good and wondered if he should change the time.

Evan naturally understood what Layton was hesitating about, and interrupted: "The experiment at night continues, don't wait for me." ”

"It's not that this experiment is indispensable, I can't do it, I don't have to do these virtual things. ”

"By the way, I have a bottle of champagne in my cupboard, which Rick gave me. If the result is good, open it. ”

"Be careful, don't drive it in the lab. ”

Layton thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!"

At about five o'clock, Evan left the lab, had dinner with Bob, who had come to pick him up, in the shopping street near the college, and then drove to Inglewood.

Seven p.m., Applied Healthcare, Inc., Carl's office.

Evan, Carr, Joe Wells, and Lewis Walker worked overtime for a meeting.

The afternoon rain has been falling until now, and Evan said while wiping his clothes with the towel prepared by Carl, "Things are one by one, but everything costs money, so, Carl, you speak first." ”

"Okay!" Carl said, holding a notebook with a brown coat in his hand, flipping it open and looking at it, "According to you, Evan, I spread the news that Applied Physical Systems is going to take out a loan through Wells Fargo, and so far, there are more than twenty banks including Wells Fargo that are interested in providing loans. In addition to the top 10 banks in California, these banks include several federally chartered banks from the East Coast. ”

The U.S. banking sector is well developed, but in some ways it is very conservative. After the Great Depression, the banking sector was divided into two parts: investment banks and commercial banks. But before that, U.S. banks were restricted from operating across state lines. Federally chartered banks that hold cross-state licenses are boycotted by their local states.

Hearing that the East Coast banks were involved, Evan bowed slightly, hung up the towel, sat down opposite Carl, and asked, "What about the interest rates of each family?"

Carr replied: "The local bank interest rates are actually about the same, but those ones are deliberately much lower. ”

Evan asked again, "Are there any conditions attached?"

Karl nodded and said, "You guessed it, there is." ”

"Their condition is that if the company has a plan to go public, it will either require a designated contractor or a certain share quota, which varies from one company to another. ”

Evan chuckled, then asked, "What about the line of credit?"

"The total amount is related to valuation, and our request is $5 million, which most banks can meet," Carr said. ”

"It's just, Evan, is it necessary for us to borrow so much?"

Evan turned to Wells and said, "That's a question, Wells, you can answer it." ”
