After a moment's hesitation, Evan still didn't remind Alan Sprour to pay attention to Truman. First, he didn't know what Truman had done in his "future" to be re-elected, and he was not at all convincing to "appoint" Truman at this time; second, it was still early, and there were still more than half a year before the primary election, and he had to go back and confirm the meaning of his governor.

What Evan didn't know was that his hesitation, while keeping history off track, had also unexpectedly benefited him. For Republican politicians, though, this is not a good thing.

Of course, that's all for later.

Three days later, on June 27, the District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

The case of Magic Seven Company v. a group of pirates was reopened.

Evan and Bob sat in the first row of the auditorium. The lawyer team of the Magic Seven Company was all assembled, and the plaintiff's representatives, such as Girard and Albert, sat in the plaintiff's bench with a relaxed expression.

As for the dock opposite, only a few lawyers were present.

Obviously, they knew what was going on, so they had to be lawyers.

Less than half an hour later, Evan left the courtroom before his ass was hot, leaving Girard, Albert and others surrounded by media reporters.

However, the verdict of the New York court does not mean that the matter is completely over. Not to mention whether they will delay the time with appeals, it will also take a lot of effort to actually get the compensation.

Of course, winning this case is of course a good thing for the Magic Seven Company. The presence of this precedent means that it is not very difficult for several other states to win the case.

That night, Evan hosted a small celebration dinner at the hotel for the lawyers and the Magic Seven Company. This dinner, Rick's second brother, Robert Taft, also came.

"Come on, Evan, have a drink!"

Robert Taft was a free-spirited and good drinker, and after getting to know Evan at the dinner party, knowing that Evan was actually in the cup of juice on such occasions, he took a goblet and tried to persuade Evan to drink in public.

"Drinking is the second pleasure in life, and the first pleasure can only be enjoyed by oneself, but this drinking needs someone to be your companion. ”

"Come, Evan, you're a friend of my brother Rick, and I don't believe you're a drinker. ”

Evan smiled and pushed away the wine glass handed by Robert Taft, and blinked, "Taft (Evan doesn't call him Robert because he has the same name as his brother), don't wronged me and your brother." We are qualified citizens of the United States, and we will not do anything that is illegal. If you can, you'd better treat me to 'black tea'. ”

Robert Taft was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it is true." I was wrong......"

"Well, black tea is good, and our whole family loves it, especially from Bordeaux, France. ”

Girard, who was passing by, heard their conversation and rolled his eyes secretly: "What the hell, does Bordeaux France produce black tea? ”

……

On June 29, after two weeks in New York, Evan boarded a train back to California.

When he came, Evan and his group of five people, but on the way back, there were only three people, and in addition to Evan and Bob, there were Isaac Fields with him.

The reason why Isaac went to California with Evan was for two purposes, one was that Virginia needed an editor to assist in proofreading, and the other was for himself, his book that only had an outline Evan not only liked it after reading it, but also made a lot of useful suggestions, Isaac felt that if he hugged Evan's thigh, it would help him a lot, so after the publishing house needed someone to go on a business trip to California, Isaac volunteered to take the job.

During the nearly three-day journey, in order to relieve his boredom, Evan taught Isaac to play the "Plane Walker's House" card, and along the way, the two fought countless games, and Isaac lost more than he won.

Bob was only a spectator of the card game and did not participate in it once. The train was the easiest time for him to work, so he planned to read all the comics he had accumulated during this time along the way. In order to buy these comic books, he deliberately took half a day off before leaving.

Bob was so obsessed with comics that none of the comics he read were from Smith and Granmore, most of which were from Timely Comics and DC Comics. Isaac once asked Bob, "What do you think of these two works?"

Bob replied, "They're all fun!"

This was true, of course, but Bob's answer was of no use to Isaac.

Evan listened, but gave Bob a thumbs up.

Now that we're talking about comics, Isaac took the opportunity to ask, "Evan, are the publisher's comics really going to be sold?"

Evan nodded and said: "Of course, those comics have no story to do, and they want character charm without character charm, and they can only waste paper if they are kept, so it is better to sell them for money." ”

Isaac was devastated, and it took him a long time to recover.

After recovering, the first thing Isaac did was to persuade Evan: "Evan, I think the comic industry has a huge market and should not give up. ”

Just when Evan thought that Isaac was going to try to change his mind like the protagonist in the hot blood comics, Isaac said, "Evan, you're rich, aren't you...... Since you think DC and Timely have done a good job in this regard, why don't you ...... Acquire them!"

Hearing Isaac's words, Bob's rare eyes lit up, and he looked at Evan eagerly.

Evan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Isaac, let's not talk about whether they are willing to sell or not, and whether I have enough money to buy them, even if neither is a problem, I won't buy them, at least not now." ”

As for the reason, Evan didn't explain it to Isaac.

Of course, Evan understands the potential of DC and Timely (the predecessor of Marvel), and he doesn't want to take them under his umbrella, but he understands: one, the probability that they are willing to sell at this time in the golden age of comics is extremely low, unless Evan uses improper means to force them, and two, his own financial resources are of better and more important use at this time. Because of these two points, Evan didn't think about it, otherwise when he was visiting the Empire State Building in New York, he would have made a trip to Timely's headquarters, which is on the 14th floor of the Empire State Building.

To buy them, Evan will only have to wait a while. In the early 50s, there will be a wave of opposition to comics in the United States, and parents and teachers will think that comics are like drugs and will ruin children who like to read comics. This wave brought almost the entire American comic book industry to its knees, and it wasn't until the early '60s that it began to revivenation.

Hearing Evan's answer, Isaac was speechless, but Bob's disappointment was overflowing.

If Evan had bought them up, he might have been able to play a role in it.
