"Look at your ruddy face, did you drink before you came? I won't make you tea, drink some water." ”

Evan placed a glass of water in front of Rick, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Am I a big brother to my heart? Leyton, Rick, all of them came to me to consult about career planning.

Rick took the glass of water, thanked him, and explained, "I drank a little, but not much." I'm very conscious now. ”

"Anyway, I'm here for help. Don't be perfunctory!"

"Why am I perfunctory to you?" Evan smiled and said, "Before giving my advice, what do you think about where you want to go after graduation?"

"Hmm...... You won't leave it alone at home, so let's talk about it together. ”

"Okay......" Rick suddenly felt that his lips were a little dry, so he took a sip of water first, and then said: "Let's talk about the advice given by my family first, one is to continue my studies in college, there are no major requirements, you can get a master's degree or a doctorate, anyway, I have neither lack of time nor tuition, and the other suggestion is to work in the family's industry, well, I guess it may be to become an assistant manager in a bank or something." ”

"From the jobs I was given, I knew they were inclined to let me go further into my education. They knew that I would not be able to go back to my hometown and be under the control of my family. ”

Rick's hometown is in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Tafts have been prominent in the area since the last century.

"Further education is a good option. Evan commented: "You're studying mathematics now, a purely theoretical subject, and by the time you get to your master's or even your PhD, you can change your major, and it's basically not difficult for you." ”

"You're twenty-one years old, and if you stay in college for a few more years, it's not too late to come out at twenty-four or five. ”

"You're not going to compete with your brothers anyway, are you?"

"That being said, I don't want to continue in college. Rick shook his head.

Taft is a big family, and its influence in American politics is not small, and the wealth he has accumulated is not a small amount. Born into such a family, Rick has witnessed some intrigue and fighting, and this is when he is a young son and his family intends to protect him.

But even so, Rick became more and more unable to stand the atmosphere at home, so he made the move to transfer to California without permission.

Rick came to California to relax, and unexpectedly, he became friends with Evan by chance, and thus inadvertently improved his status in the family.

At the helm of the Taft family, the wife of Senator Robert Taft and Rick's mother, after learning about Rick's relationship with Evan, came up with the idea of letting Rick develop in California. This proposal was originally made by Rick's second brother, Robert Taft Jr. However, as a party, Rick has been kept in the dark so far.

Of course, Rick is not a fool, and from the words of his family, he is faintly aware of it.

That's why he's so bothered at the moment.

From the bottom of his heart, Rick also wants to stay away from the Taft family's sphere of influence and develop in California on his own, but in this way, he inevitably has the intention of using his friends. This kind of thing is a little difficult for the proud Rick to accept.

"In that case, do you have any specific plans?" Rick's eyes were complicated, confused, and struggling, Evan couldn't tell the difference, so he simply didn't think about it, and asked directly: "Do you want to experience life, find a low-level job to try, or find a project, be your own boss, and make a career?"

"If it's the former, I won't interfere. If it's the latter, I can be an advisor to you, and an angel investor or something. ”

"Angel investors?"

Rick looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Evan was stunned for a moment, and then casually explained: "It's like an angel, providing seed investment for a start-up project." ”

The term angel investment first appeared in 1978 in the research of William Wétzel, a professor at the University of New Hampshire and founder of the Center for Risk Research. Of course, similar investment practices have existed for a long time, but they are more popular in the art sector. The more formal angel investment community emerged in the 80s, and before that, angel investors were mostly solo travelers, often employed by retired entrepreneurs or executives with small savings.

"Seed investment ......" Rick bowed slightly, expressing understanding, and used "angel" to describe the image of investors.

Then, Rick shook his head and pulled the topic back: "Be your own boss...... That's it. ”

"I have a few pounds and a few taels I know, don't say that I can't find an interesting entrepreneurial project for a while, even if I have, I don't have the energy and patience to do it. ”

Hearing this, Evan couldn't help but nod. Rick is a curious person, but he lacks patience and has a wide range of interests, but none of his interests can "live" for more than half a year.

Rick's longest-standing interest at the moment is none other than the "Plane Walker's House" community.

However, even though the club was founded by Rick himself, he hasn't attended the club for two months now.

"If you don't want to go to school, you don't want to be a boss, so there's only one option left. Evan asked curiously, "Do you have a career in mind?"

Rick thought for a moment and replied, "Well, a bank clerk?"

"Both of these professions are about numbers, so I guess it's a little bit related to your major. Evan nodded, understanding why Rick had chosen these two classes.

Rick showed an expression that you were indeed a confidant, and smiled, "That's what I thought." ”

"Go to the bank, it's easy. Evan thought for a moment and said, "As a stock trader, it's a bit troublesome, I don't have this business myself, and I'm not familiar with securities companies." ”

"I bought a bank last year, do you want to try it out, I can write you a letter of recommendation. ”

"If you don't want to go to my bank, other banks in California, like Wells Fargo, have a lot of ties to me, and you can join without revealing your background. ”

Rick didn't say it explicitly, but Evan was sure he had the idea of hiding his background.

Rick shook his head and said, "I don't need a letter of recommendation, what I want to know is, in your opinion, can these two professions play a role in training." ”

"Especially, can it make me more focused. ”

Rick had the heart to fix his problem, and Evan was very happy, and after thinking about it, he said, "Rick, I can't guarantee it. All I can say is that it might help, as long as you want to get the job done. ”

Rick sighed, "That's enough for you." ”

"Which one, do you want me to help, you can think about it again. Evan said, "You're welcome to me, Rick, we're friends." ”
