Chapter 172: A New Beginning

After coming out of Orville's house, Evan went directly to the Ladera Heights and informed Cliff of Robert Caldwell's attitude.

After receiving it, Cliff said that with Caldwell's support, the police force problem should not be solved.

Then Cliff couldn't wait to go to a banquet where he would have a good chat with the LAPP chief and settle some agreements.

Of course, the so-called agreement is basically verbal, and no words will be left.

After Evan got Robert Caldwell, fellow Republican, Cliff took care of the rest of the PR work.

On September 8th, the Arts and Crafts High School opened.

On September 15, the University of California, Los Angeles opened. Virginia stepped on the clock in time, ended the campaign, and returned to school from New York, thousands of miles away.

On September 18, Truman signed the National Security Act, under which the CIA and the U.S. Air Force were established, and the War Department and the Navy Department were merged into the Department of Defense.

On September 22, Caltech opened.

During this two-week period, the Los Angeles Times and other Los Angeles area newspapers frequently reported on law and order cases in the Los Angeles area.

At the same time, there were constant protesters on Springer Street outside the town hall.

All of this puts a lot of pressure on the city government and the city council.

The day before Caltech opened, the City Council passed a proposal to increase the police department's budget and expand its staffing.

Soon after, the Los Angeles Police Department held a tender for the project of a police training base, and the winning bidder went without saying.

Before Evan returned to school to concentrate on his studies and research, he gave Joe Wells three tasks. The first task is to expand the staff of the R&D department, the second task is to collect technical information related to televisions and negotiate with Dumont Laboratories about the purchase of cathode ray tubes, and the third task is to investigate the application of magnetrons in heating and determine whether there are relevant patents, and if so, if not, of course, to preemptively register them.

Wells, who received these three tasks, immediately understood that Evan intended to expand, and the area he was entering was obvious.

Wells had a lot of complaints about Evan's decision. He felt that Evan was in a hurry, and that he should wait for the saucepan's business to stabilize before considering a new product. Being in such a hurry is not necessarily a good thing for the company.

And the two new projects, TV and microwave oven, have much higher technical requirements than the saucepan. This is undoubtedly a test for the R&D department of a weak applied physical systems company, and there are many risks.

Evan noticed Wells' slight upset and spoke openly with him. After Evan's assurances that he would provide sufficient financial support, Wells put away his frustration and threw himself into his new job.

For these two new projects, Evan also gave Carl, the real general manager of Applied Physical Systems, a task.

Evan put Wells in charge of the technology, and Carl naturally did it to find money.

Applied Health Care has so far been short of money because of the injection of capital from Johnson & Johnson. As for the Applied Physical Systems Company, after investing $200,000 at the beginning, it also borrowed some money from the Magic Seven Company in order to build the factory and start construction. Although the product is now on the market, it is still in a state of deficit.

As a result, applied physical systems companies have to find additional money to develop new products.

The source of the money, Evan has already figured out, is the bank.

After confirming that he heard correctly, Carl said: "Evan, you have thought about it, it is not impossible to take out a loan, but there is a cost to the loan." With your current financial situation, it doesn't seem like you need to borrow money from the bank. ”

Carl was right, Evan could raise a lot of cash if he wanted to, part of it was in the books of the Alphabet Company, it was the hush money of the Prince Company, and part of it was the profits of the Magic Seven Company.

But Evan doesn't plan to use the cash.

"Carl, I'm thinking very clearly, you just do what I say. ”

……

At the beginning of the new semester, new people have come to the dormitory.

Evan has no plans to change dorms and still lives in BlackerHouse. Orville is a graduate student and has moved out of his dorm. The new president of BlackerHouse was elected at the end of last semester, and to Evan's surprise and unsurprisingly, Rick was elected as the new chairman.

Rick was able to take over as the new president because of his proven social skills and because he earned the trust of many of his classmates for his performance on truancy day.

After becoming the chairman, Rick still remembered the club and became a new student. Under his publicity, the "Plane Walker's House" became a well-known club among the new students.

A week later, the dormitory was drawn, and Evan was used to the single room, so with Rick's cooperation, he still won room 111.

Just as the freshmen begin to undergo the hellish difficulty of their first year, Rick and Orville run a club recruitment.

Most of the people who took the IQ test this time were freshmen, and there were many people who joined the club after the test.

Among the newcomers who joined the club, many of them were already playing the "Plane Walker's Home" card, and they found an organization in the school.

On the weekend of the second week of the new semester, Evan gave two lectures in a row, one for newcomers to the club about the unpublished "parallel world theory", and the other for the very formal science lecture hosted by Professor Watson for all students in the university. In this lecture, Evan talked about the research progress of semiconductors in solid-state physics, focusing on the significance of transistor research.

The lecture attracted many students and teachers. Evan's lecture was not advanced enough that even a non-physics person could understand it, and the part about the future application of transistors was remembered by many. After that, Evan truly became a well-known star figure for all Caltech's workers. As long as he was at school, no matter where he went, someone would come up and take the initiative to greet Evan. This kind of treatment doesn't seem to treat Evan as a student anymore.

But in reality, Evan still has to attend classes and submit essays. He took a lot of classes, and the teacher did not lower his requirements for him. And because Evan is famous, the teachers like to communicate with him in class, so he can't skip class casually. Because skipping classes is almost 100% detected.

Outside of classes, Evan spends the most time in the lab. The experiment with junction transistors had reached its most critical stage, and Evan had to arrive almost every day.

After Evan's lecture, many seniors came to apply for internship visits, and Professor Watson stayed with them.

Dean Dubridge kept his promise and almost never had a hard time applying for projects in the Solid State Physics Laboratory, which shows that he raised plenty of money from alumni over the summer.
