Chapter 164: Interview

After the meeting, Evan chatted with Lewis Walker and asked about the conditions of the American cyanamide company. Lewis reported a number, Evan shook his head when he heard it, and said with a smile: "So much, if I didn't lack money, even I would be moved." ”

Lewis was speechless.

In the afternoon, Evan and Carl went to Aegis in the Ladera Heights.

Because of the Rubik's Cube piracy case, Andy Vedak's business expansion plan and training base expansion plan proposed by A.S. have only now officially started.

Evan once made a condition - to hire a deputy in charge of the business before agreeing to Vidak's expansion plan. Today, they're going to be interviewers.

To be precise, the interviewer was only Evan.

Because, before that, Karl had already communicated with the would-be deputy.

Evan's Ford drove into a walled campus and slowly pulled up in front of a small three-story building.

This is the training base of Aegis, and some expansion projects are currently under construction. The original shooting range and obstacle course were also unused at this time.

Evan and his party walked into the small building and walked straight to Vidak's office.

"Bang!

Passing by a boxing training arena, Evan hears the sound of fists colliding with fists.

Evan glanced over to the training ground and saw that it was Haynes and Raymond who were fighting each other, with several people watching nearby.

Haynes saw Bob following Evan and exclaimed, "Hey, Bob, are you going to move?"

Bob glanced at the ring and didn't answer.

Evan waved his hand at Bob and said, "Go if you want." ”

Bob stopped and walked towards the ring instead.

Vidak's office is on the second floor, which is much quieter than the first floor.

Informed Vidak, stood outside the office to greet Evan.

"Vidak, has the man arrived?" asked Evan as he walked into the office and sat down on the couch.

Vydak replied from behind him, "Not yet, but it should be soon, he is very punctual." ”

"Jingle bell!"

As he spoke, the phone on Vidak's desk rang.

As Vidak went to answer the phone, he said, "This must be an inside call from the doorman." ”

Sure enough, the doorman reported that a man claiming to be here for an interview wanted to enter the park.

Vidak ordered the doorman to let him go, and then hung up.

Evan gestured to Carl, looked at Vidak and said, "Before anyone arrives, Vidak, I want to know from you about this man, and why do you think he is up to the job?"

"Of course!" Vedak sat down next to Carl, paused for a moment, and after sorting out his thoughts in his mind, he replied: "This person I fancie, his name is Cliff Cap, a native of Nevada, forty years old, he worked hard in Los Angeles after graduating from college, he has worked for the Colt Company and other arms companies, he is an excellent salesman, during World War II, he worked in the war committee as a reserve. Because of these experiences, he was familiar with both the military and arms dealers. ”

After the war, Cliff was invited to Connecticut by Colt, but within two months he left and returned to Los Angeles due to Colt's own mismanagement and workers' strikes. ”

When he returned to Los Angeles, he became a social activist, was elected vice president of the local rifle association, and served as a firearms consultant for the Los Angeles Police Department. ”

“……”

After listening to Vidak's introduction, Evan understood why he was chosen.

Born as a salesman, long-sleeved and good at dancing, with a wide range of contacts, and a good relationship with the Los Angeles Police Department, these are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates for SHIELD AND VIDAK'S plans.

"Bang bang!"

There was a knock on the office door, and Vidak's assistant pushed it open and said, "Manager, someone has arrived!"

Vidak said, "Let him in!"

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a striped short-sleeved shirt and brown slacks, with a strong figure and a bronzed complexion, appeared at the door of the office.

Vidak, who had already gotten up, greeted him and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Cap, please come in!"

Cliff shook hands with Vydak, and after entering the house, Vydak stretched out his hand and introduced: "Cliff, this is the investor of Aegis, Evan Warren. ”

Cliff was surprised to see the investor so young, but his face was unwavering, he stretched out his hand to Evan and said, "Hello, Mr. Warren!"

Evan held out his hand in the same friendly manner, "Hello, Mr. Cape, please come here in your busy schedule, please don't mind." ”

"How about we talk?"

"Thank you!" Cliff sat down across from Evan, "I'm surprised, Mr. Warren looks so young!"

"Don't blame me for being suspicious, Mr. Warren, may I ask if those hundreds of thousands of dollars are at your disposal?"

Hearing this, Carl next to him chuckled.

Evan didn't mind at all, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cap, please don't doubt this, it's only about 100,000 dollars, and I can still afford it." ”

"You don't have to guess where I got all this money, or what kind of background I have. As long as you join us, you know all this. ”

Cliff thought for a moment and felt that what Evan said was right, so he said cheerfully, "In that case, let's get started!"

"Mr. Warren, if there's anything you want to know, just ask!"

Evan nodded in satisfaction.

The interview officially begins.

Evan asked a very regular series of questions.

"How much do you know about us at S.H.I.E.L.D?"

"You're familiar with firearms, can you tell us about the differences between the different types of pistols?"

"What would you do if you were put in charge of soliciting business for the company?"

"Do you think the training base is interested in the LAPPD?"

“……”

These questions were not difficult, and Cliff was able to answer them with little thought.

And yet the problem continues.

"What would you do if our company and the client, let's say the client is the LAPD, had some disagreement over the execution of the contract?"

"If a prospect of our security business has a request that is not on the service list, but is within the capacity of the employee, you can't take the order?"

“……”

Cliff needs some thought before he can give an answer.

This question and answer lasted for more than an hour.

When Evan finished answering his last question, Cliff smiled and said, "Mr. Cap, I'm done with my questions, and now there's an additional question left, I wonder if you're interested in hearing it?"

Cap wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded, "Of course!"

Evan asked, "Excuse me, how much does Aegis need to pay in order to impress you?" Mr. Cap?"
