Evan refused Jack's request without thinking about it, and resolutely refused to release the script

Jack really couldn't understand Evan's approach, but he couldn't force it, who made his arms thicker than himself.

After that, Evan didn't stay at Jack's for long. Originally, Jack wanted to have lunch with Evan, but he also politely declined.

The excuse was that he had made an appointment with his girlfriend.

In fact, it's not an excuse. At noon, he was indeed going to eat with Audrey, but he didn't make an appointment in advance.

Towards noon, the sky cleared.

Evan and Audrey have lunch at a restaurant near the Freesman House.

Looking at the sky from the window, Evan proposes to go for a walk after lunch. Audrey thought about it and didn't refuse.

Speaking of which, the two haven't gone out on a date in a while.

So, after lunch, Audrey went to the Freesman House and asked the old Freesman to take a leave, and the two went shopping on Hollywood Boulevard.

There are not many pedestrians on Hollywood Boulevard after the rain, and the theaters on both sides of the boulevard are a little deserted.

In the middle of the afternoon, Evan and Audrey walked hand in hand to the Chinese Theater, where they decided to spend the rest of the afternoon.

They didn't pick on the movie, and randomly chose the fastest opening.

For couples, it's not about what you do, it's about doing it together.

In the evening, the two returned to San Marino in a happy mood after a long date.

The next day, Evan did not go to the academy. His exams were all over, and he had de facto started his vacation early. He arranged the work of the laboratory in advance, and with Leiden here, he could temporarily focus on his off-campus career.

This semester, the Warren-Leiden Lab led by Evan has published several high-quality articles in top American physics journals such as Physical Review on junction transistors and point-contact transistors, including transistor fabrication techniques, characterization studies, and theoretical explanations. Among them, Evan's theoretical explanation of semiconductor PN junctions is particularly eye-catching. This article is a good link between theory and experimental results, and has greatly promoted the research of transistors. Once the article was published, it was valued by the vast majority of peers.

As the largest and most direct competitor of the Warren Layden laboratory, the solid-state physics group of Bell Labs suddenly became enlightened after getting Evan's article, and at the same time had to admit that Evan was ahead of everyone in this field.

At half past nine in the morning, Evan traveled from San Marino to Inglewood.

From today, his daily routine will shift from academy mode to work mode.

When he arrived at the company, the first thing Evan did was to gather a few executives for a morning meeting.

Those who can attend the morning meeting are all vice presidents of major companies, and the number can be counted on two hands. Present today are Carl, Wells, Lewis, Vidak, Bailey and Carlson, each representing a company.

In the morning meeting, it is usually others who say it, and Evan listens.

In the order of the seats, the first speaker today is Pele.

I saw Bailey touch his head that was getting thinner and thinner, and reported the progress of the picture tube production line he was responsible for in a language with the characteristics of a science student, saying: "Boss, the preparations for the picture tube production line have completed the factory planning and most of the supplier liaison work, among which the core suppliers represented by Corning Glass (providing the glass required for the picture tube) and DuPont Chemical (supplying phosphor) have signed contracts. An order has been placed for the core part of the production line, the phosphor coating line, which is expected to enter the factory in February next year. The rest of the minor parts will be in the factory before then. In addition, the recruitment of employees for the production line has begun. In accordance with our agreement with Dumont Labs, we need employees to be sent to New Jersey for training by January. However, at the moment, only half of the number of employees is recruited, and there is a risk that we will not be able to recruit them for the rest of the time, so I suggest 'hiring' some people from a friendly businessman. ”

"Overall, we are just halfway through the production line and there are still many hurdles to overcome, but we are confident that we will be able to produce our own CRT in the first quarter of next year and start mass production in the second quarter. ”

Seeing Bailey pause, Evan picked up his words and said, "Your current rhythm is very good, you have to keep it up." ”

"Well, I've approved of the recruitment, but don't target Dumont Laboratories just yet, they're our partners now. ”

Bailey nodded, "I see." ”

Next up is Vidak, whose S.H.I.E.L.D. company has been based on the training base after getting the contract with the Los Angeles Police Department, and has had a steady stream of income since then. Since then, with the Los Angeles Police Department as a living signboard and Cliff Cap's active efforts, Aegis's security business has quickly gained a foothold in the affluent Los Angeles and Hollywood, and at least a quarter of Hollywood's top 20 stars have AEG.I.E.L.D. bodyguards around them.

Because the business was growing so fast, for a while Aegis couldn't even let go of taking orders, and had to expand the size of the security team while selectively acquiring orders.

The main content of Vidak's report was about the security team, which could not be done overnight, so he kept his mouth shut after talking about the progress in a few sentences.

Then there's Lewis, whose Applied Health company is currently in a relatively simple business, with only two different types of Band-Aids, and the sales partner is Johnson & Johnson, and at a time when Band-Aids are becoming known and accepted by the public, they can almost only produce them and not be able to sell them, so Lewis's report is as concise as Vidak's.

Evan reiterated to Lewis that the sales channel should not rely too much on Johnson & Johnson, and that he had to master some of it himself. After that, he turned his attention to Carlson and Wells.

The two are currently jointly responsible for the mass production of photocopiers.

After they looked at each other, Wells stepped forward and said, "The production of copiers, televisions, and electric cookers is all in Wilmington, and that's the reason for the report." ”

"Let's talk about the output first, the current output of the TV production line is 27,000 units per month, and the output of electric cookers is 4,000 units per month. ”

"Then there are the photocopiers, which have a complex mechanical structure and are difficult to produce, and according to our estimates, the production line may not be completed until April next year. ”

Evan had known the date for a long time, but when Wells brought it up, he asked again, "Can't it be any faster?"

"Girard has already advertised the photocopier in New York, and what are we going to do if we start to get a lot of orders, will it all be done by hand by the R&D engineers in the lab?"

"Then the cost is too high. ”
