Chapter 148: Temporary Workers
There was a hot scene in the competition venue over there, and the staff who maintained order on the scene had to frequently remind everyone to be quiet and not to interfere with the players' competition, but Evan and Edward were chatting with each other.
"Evan, don't you have to show up, how can you say that you are the real boss!"
Edward asked, building blocks like a child.
Evan glanced at Girard, who was leading a group of guests to visit the venue, and replied indifferently: "I'm relieved that Girard is here!"
"Besides, it's not right for me to show my face too much right now. ”
They are joined by sisters Dora and Dorothy.
Their goal was to make a "castle".
"Uncle Edward, bring me those red ones!"
Dora stretched out her hand to Edward, unceremoniously asking.
Edward liked Evan and his two younger sisters very much, otherwise he wouldn't have played with blocks for so long.
"Okay...... Here you go!"
Edward handed over the bricks, looked at Evan and said, "Evan, I think these magic bricks will be another successful product of your company." ”
"At least my kids will love it. I'll buy a set and go back later. ”
"Dora, be polite!"
"Thank you, Uncle Edward!"
After Evan taught Dora a lesson, he shook his head and said, "Not necessarily!"
He pointed out one of the toy dealers in the group behind Girard, and said, "You can tell from his face that he doesn't see this new building block very accurately, he doesn't have much confidence, and he probably won't place too many orders." ”
"Why is this happening?"
Edward asked, puzzled.
"It's not too complicated because people are used to wooden building block toys, both as parents of buyers and sellers," says Evan. ”
"It's not a habit that can be easily changed in a short period of time. ”
"It's true that plastic bricks have the advantages of being lightweight, more playable, etc., but habits are habits...... This can only be reversed with long-term education. ”
"And during this period, I have to guard against my peers......"
"Actually, I'm more optimistic about cards you can't play than plastic bricks. I think it will have at least twice as many orders as blocks. ”
Something completely new means that there will be few competitors in a short period of time.
Edward didn't quite understand how Evan made this judgment, and he was about to ask shamelessly when a voice next to him interjected into the conversation between the two.
"Evan, I'm glad you thought so. ”
Hearing this familiar voice, Evan immediately got up and looked in the direction where the voice had come.
I saw two young men in white shirts and black trousers standing not far behind him, looking at Evan with a smile on their faces.
Evan greeted with a look of surprise, "Orville, Rick, why did you come to New York?"
Before the holiday, they both said that they would stay in the school.
Especially Rick, he shouldn't want to go back to the East Coast now, isn't he afraid of being forced back to Yale by his family?
Orville and Rick walked up to Evan and hugged him.
"What's so strange about us coming to New York. After the hug, Orville patted Evan on the shoulder and reproached, "It's you, Evan, you're really not funny enough to not even tell me about the cards in the Rubik's Cube competition." ”
"If Rick hadn't told me, I'd have missed it forever. ”
"It's a commercial promotion, so I didn't tell ......you," Evan explained briefly, before introducing them to Edward.
At the same time, I introduced my two younger sisters by the way.
When Edward learned that they were classmates in the same school and club, he reasoned and said goodbye first.
"Speaking of which, Rick, didn't you say you had to stay in L.A. and couldn't go anywhere?"
After sending his two sisters away, Evan looked at Rick and asked.
"I really kid you, but recently this restriction has been lifted. Rick said seriously, "As for the card you promoted in the game, my second brother told me. ”
"By the way, my second brother has the same name as your brother, also called Robert, you say it's a coincidence. ”
"As for how my second brother knows, it's even more coincidental. ”
Rick smiled and said, "Evan, your company has a lot of lawsuits to fight recently, right?"
Evan nodded.
It's not surprising that Rick knows about this, not to mention that it only takes a phone call to collect this kind of news with the strength of Taft's family, not to mention that the matter of Rubik's Cube piracy has been deliberately spread to the major media by the Magic Seven Company - in order to put pressure on pirates and the courts.
Rick continued, "My second brother is a lawyer and works at CT Law Firm. ”
"Oh!" Evan realized, "no wonder...... It's really a coincidence. ”
"It's a pity that I couldn't meet your second brother. ”
Rick asked, "Hmm...... Haven't you seen that?"
Seeing Evan nodding affirmatively, Rick whispered, "I thought it was ......"
"Why ......"
"Nothing!" Rick digressed the subject, "By the way, is there anything we can do?"
"yes, yes, we're not here to play!" Orville said, "Evan, I think you might need a narrator, especially in the card exhibit......"
Evan looked at Orville and asked, "Are you serious?"
Orville shrugged and said, "Of course!"
"I ask for ten ...... an hour. Belch...... Eight dollars!"
"Evan, add me one. ”
Seeing their sincerity, Evan had to agree: "Okay, since you all ask for it, I'll find someone to arrange it." ”
A few minutes later, Orville and Rick, who had changed into overalls, actually joined the narrator team, and did a good job.
Evan watched for a while before being called away by Dora to watch Robert's game.
"Nina!"
Evan took his sisters to the family cheering area, met Nina, and waved at his brother in the playing field.
Robert saw Evan and smiled and waved in response.
"Robert looks pretty good!"
Evan commented.
Dorothy asked, "Evan, will Robert be able to get on the podium?"
Evan glanced at the bulletin board in the arena showing the current fastest record, which showed the number "17.45", and replied, "This ...... I don't know, maybe there's a chance!"
As far as he knows, Robert can recover a Rubik's Cube in about 16 seconds at the fastest, and the fastest in the preliminaries so far is the number above. If Robert plays properly on the spot, he does have a chance to finish on the podium.
Robert's on-the-spot play was a problem, though.
He didn't play well in the preliminaries, and his time was only 19 seconds.
Of course, this is a feat that no one else can do in Sacramento.
