Chapter XXVI Preparations

The idea of setting up a new company has been brewing for Evan since the day Carl successfully took Carlson, but he has been dragging it out because he has not thought about what products to make.

The positioning of the new companies Magic7 and Alphabet is different, it will have its own products, its own factory, and a complete sales team. Alphabet, on the other hand, specializes in royalties and is also the parent company of Magic7.

Evan set up this company for two purposes. One of the purposes is to train workers and sales teams for the productization of "electronic photography", that is, photocopiers, in which the sales team is the focus and the workers are incidental. Every new product goes from launch to customer acceptance, no matter how great the product is, and the sales team is able to accelerate the process. With a mature sales team, Evan was not afraid that he would finally make a photocopier, but when he was halfway sold, he would be copied by a large company.

The second purpose is to train oneself and cultivate one's descendants. He's only in the tenth grade, which is equivalent to a freshman year of high school, but he doesn't have much to learn in school and doesn't want to go to college early, so Evan decides to spend the rest of his time in high school, overtly learning how to manage a company. Improving his management skills and having a group of loyal subordinates is necessary and useful for Evan, who intends to "restore" a huge amount of inventions by himself.

Just moving his mouth, doing nothing, thinking that with a "prophet" he can be a hands-off shopkeeper, he wants to "achieve the pinnacle of life", this kind of good thing is just taken for granted.

In the end, Evan chose the Rubik's Cube for these two purposes.

The Rubik's Cube is a brand-new toy, how to make the Rubik's Cube good and sell it well, Evan believes that after solving these two points, the sales team and ability he wants will be exercised.

After Evan reveals his plan to Carl and Pan, Carl is shocked and silent for a long time. With his knowledge, he naturally knew how amazing Evan's plan was.

Who in the world would start preparing for a project that they don't know if it will succeed four or five years in advance?

Who in the world would invent a product in order to set up a company to train people?

Thinking of this, Carl was eager to open Evan's head to see if it had been modified by aliens. Considering that he was his own boss and the governor's son, Carl gave up.

After the shock, Carl was even more determined in his choice.

With such a genius boss, the future life will not be too boring!

So, Karl, who has redone his mental construction, pulled Evan and asked him in detail about the new company Magic7.

In Carl's office, the two sat opposite each other, separated by a coffee table with a pizza box on it. Carl held a pen in his left hand and a notebook in his right hand, and asked, "How much are you going to invest in the preparation of Magic7?"

Evan gave the answer that he had already considered: "Invest 100,000 first!"

Carl took notes and asked, "Is it all Alphabet, do you want to find some more investors?"

"Well, you reminded me, contact the plastic manufacturers one by one, and ask them if they are interested, and if so, set aside 10% of the share. Speaking of this, Evan paused: "By the way, are you interested, if you have, you can also vote a little!"

Karl said, "Well, I have to think about it, I don't have much savings, I'm afraid I'm going to lose it!"

Evan feigned dissatisfaction and said, "Cut! Don't wait, don't say I didn't give you a chance." ”

Carl joked, "Since you're so confident, I'll cut some of my budget for birthday gifts." ”

Evan also joked, "No, I think it's very risky, you might as well buy a birthday present." ”

"Uh...... LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. Although it was a joke, Carl always felt that Evan was thick-skinned enough when he said this, "Since you want to build a factory, where is the factory located?"

Evan said, "Where else could it be? Since I'm going to get involved, I'm going to have to be in Sacramento, and I can't run around." ”

Carl thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, that's right, but fortunately, Sacramento has convenient transportation and doesn't rely on many supply chains, so it's also a good choice." That's it, the address is a PASS. Next, the personnel team. Evan, you have to explain who you want to recruit in the preparation stage. It's not the same as preparing for Alphabet. You know, if I had to mention it, I can only name three kinds of people, lawyers, accountants, and the front desk. ”

"Carl, I thank you for your honesty. By the way, the Jane at the front desk who looks like two bowling balls on her chest was recruited by you personally. As he spoke, Evan squinted at Carl.

"No...... Well, I'll admit it. ”

Evan pouted and said, "Hey, I didn't expect you to be interested in this type of ......"

"Stop, Evan, please get down to business!" The words became more and more crooked, and Carl quickly called a halt, and it was estimated that it would be endless if it continued like this.

Evan had to get back to business: "Recruit people, since you asked sincerely, then I'll be specific."

First of all, I plan to use plastic for the material of the Rubik's Cube, so someone needs to understand plastic, from plastic production to molds, it is indispensable, I suggest you go to United Carbon Company or DuPont to poach people.

Secondly, there are people who know how to assemble lines and automate production, and I hope that the production of the Rubik's Cube will minimize manpower.

Finally, and most importantly, the person in charge of the sales team, this can be done without rush, take your time, and implement it before the Rubik's Cube production line starts. ”

"Well, that's all I think of for the time being, you recruit people first, and then talk about what you miss. ”

Speaking of business, Evan said the head, and Carl wrote them down one by one: "Okay, I wrote it down." Well, do we only produce the Rubik's Cube, don't we need to recruit some design and R&D people?"

Evan smiled: "Hey, Carl, you're in a hurry. It's not too late to sell the Rubik's Cube first. However, you're right, add someone in packaging design. Product improvements are my responsibility for the time being. ”

Karl was noncommittal: "You are the boss, you have the final say." ”

At this point in the discussion of Magic7, Carl thought it was almost over, so he proposed, "How about you get here today, and you can take a break here, and then pick up Carlson and them to the hotel when the time is almost up?"

Evan nodded and said, "You're the driver, you have the final say." By the way, I'll use the phone. ”

Carl didn't say anything, and left the office alone, taking the empty pizza box with him.

Does Evan need to talk to Carl on the phone? Of course not!

But Evan still said it, which only shows that Evan doesn't want people to listen to his call.

Carl, who knew what he wanted, silently gave up his office.

Carl was very satisfied with Evan, who was worthy of studying law and reacted quickly.
