"Hahaha!"

The next day, Evan is woken up by Audrey's laughter.

"Evan, you're actually considered Gay, tell me what's going on?"

While Evan brushed his teeth and washed his face, Audrey asked next to him curiously.

Evan could only respond to her with the roll of his eyes.

Sure enough, he was still mercilessly ridiculed.

I said that why the reaction was so small last night, it turned out that it was just because I was too tired and didn't react for a while.

Evan washed up and sat down at the table.

Audrey had already prepared breakfast.

He picked up a slice of bread in one hand, picked up a knife in the other and prepared to butter it, while looking at the smiling Audrey and said: "Say yes first, laugh and laugh, and don't go back on what you promised!"

Audrey blinked and said, "No, I regretted it...... Unless you tell me the whole thing. ”

Evan said helplessly: "Yes, but this matter is in your ears but not out of your mouth!"

"Yes!

……

At around seven o'clock in the morning, Evan drove Audrey to the gate of the art high school. The two made an appointment that Audrey would go to Caltech this Saturday.

After that, Evan rushed back to school.

Carl returned to Los Angeles on Wednesday. That night, he asked Evan out. The two walked around the campus and talked about things.

Carl said three things.

First of all, it was about the Band-Aid factory, and after careful comparison, Carl finally decided to build a factory in Los Angeles. Although Sacramento is the capital city, it is not suitable for industrial enterprises due to the lack of people and land, especially the lack of university education resources, if it is located here, ACAH will face many difficulties in the future.

Evan didn't intend to think of ACAH as just a Band-Aid factory.

Evan has no opinion on Carl's decision.

The second is about thermal ferrite, which Carl arranged for his subordinates to do. Now there's news that a magnet manufacturing plant in Connecticut is able to supply the product. Of course, whether it is qualified or not needs to be further determined.

Carl asks what to do next?

Evan thought about it and decided to formalize the rice cooker. So he asked Carl to write down two things for him to do, one was to register a new company, and the other was to register a trademark.

The new company, Evan intends to use it as a specialist in the production of electrical and electronic products, and he has named it Applied Physical Systems (APS). In the future, photocopiers will also exist as a product line under APS.

And the trademark registered by Evan Jean Carl, called "SONY", will be the trademark used when the rice cooker goes on the market.

Carl was so used to Evan's taste for a name that he didn't even have the desire to roll his eyes.

Applied Healthcare (ACAH), Applied Physical Systems (APS), Magic7, and SecurityFitting, none of them are normal aesthetics.

Evan said that this kind of name represents the aesthetic of a polytechnic man, and that the era of using first and last names as the company's name is outdated.

After listening to Evan's explanation of the new company, Carl talked about the third thing.

"Evan, someone approached the hotel where I was staying yesterday and wanted to buy a patent for a Band-Aid. ”

Hearing this, Evan paused, frowned and asked, "Do you know which side it is?"

Carl nodded and said, "It's Johnson & Johnson!"

Evan frowned and said, "It's good that it's not Pfizer, if it'......"

Evan didn't say anything more, believing that Carl understood what it meant.

Band-Aids are still under review by both the patent and the FDA, and it is not so easy for other companies to notice it and recognize its great value unless they have someone in the appropriate agency to inform them.

Or someone leaked inside.

After taking two steps, Evan was still a little uneasy and asked, "Carl, Lewis Walker's background check, are you sure it's okay?"

"Of course!" said Karl with certainty, "I'm hiring a professional." ”

Evan asked again, "What about the others?"

"There are only two people who know about the Band-Aid who are not in Los Angeles at the moment, one is Dr. House, who is in Sacramento, and one is Edward Rogers, who is in Berkeley," Carr said. ”

"However, none of them have any signs of contacting sensitive third parties. ”

Passing by a bush, Evan casually snapped off a leaf, "Carl, what do you think is going on?"

"As things stand, I think there's a good chance that the problem is with the FDA," Carr said. ”

The FDA is called the executive branch of the federal government, but most of its budget is provided by pharmaceutical companies, and it has long been infiltrated from top to bottom.

Evan nodded, he also thought the same: "Band-aid, this thing, it's not like a drug, even if you know the ingredients, how to synthesize it is a difficult point, it has almost no barriers, except for a patent." ”

"It's very possible that people will be tempted when they see it. ”

Karl asked, "What now, do you want to say no directly?"

Evan folded the leaf in half with both hands, and then folded it in half again until he couldn't fold it anymore, and then threw it away.

"Let's get in touch first, pharmaceutical sales are deeply related to these companies, don't make the relationship too stiff first. ”

"They're going to have to let us build the factory, right?"

After getting instructions from Evan, Carl left.

Carl found himself adding a bunch of extra work to himself every time he came to see Evan.

However, this time it was okay, just a registered company and a trademark.

……

On Friday evening, Evan picked up his backpack and prepared to head back to the city center at the end of the week. Just as he locked his room, Werner came over and beckoned to him, "Hey, Evan, there's a lecture organized by Professor Watson in a minute, do you want to go to it?"

Werner was one of the few who had not been affected by the "gay rumors".

In the face of his invitation, if it was normal, of course Evan would not refuse, this time, he could only shake his head and say, "Sorry, I have to go back to the city center." ”

Evan raised the car keys in his hand, signaling that he was really in trouble.

Seeing this, Werner could only say regretfully: "It's really unfortunate, if you know who is the speaker, you will definitely regret it." ”

Evan asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Werner didn't sell it, and said directly: "Julius Robert Oppenheimer." ”

Hearing the name, for a moment, Evan really wanted to go to the lecture and go back tomorrow.

This scientist, who is the "father of the atomic bomb" and who has fallen into deep self-reproach for successfully building the atomic bomb, is the absolute one on the list of 100 people who have influenced the United States.

He is also a figure who is rumored to help the Soviet Union speed up the development of nuclear weapons and bring the world to balance.

Still, Evan didn't change his mind in the end.

Now he can't speak, he can only watch from afar. There's no need to waste a night on this.

There will be opportunities in the future.
