Rona Anderson joined the Magic Seven Corporation, which was a bonus. With his arrival, Evan finally decided to set up a new product development department within the Magic Seven Company, headed by Rona Anderson.

As for the idea of the new product, before leaving Sacramento, Evan personally taught Rona the opportunity.

Evan didn't go into a long story, just handed him a bag of wooden blocks, along with a few improvised blueprints.

"The company's next product is this, which is to plasticize building block toys. ”

The biggest difference between the building block design given by Evan and the wooden building block is that it has a protruding block and a corresponding concave block, and the two blocks can be connected together.

This design was supposed to be launched by the Danish toy giant Lego, but now Lego is still focusing on the production of wooden toys, and plastic products have just been involved, and it is likely to be one step behind the magic seven company.

And because the magic seven company is in the United States, where the market is vast, it will be one step at a time.

Girard was the second person to know about the brick project, and was quite interested, but he said he preferred the "Plane Walker's House" card to his project.

Building blocks are more suitable for children.

Cards are entertainment that adults will enjoy.

The same goes for the Rubik's Cube.

The market for things that adults like is wider.

Girard thinks so.

Evan laughed at this.

Girard's words were not wrong, but the other sentence - women and children are better earned, Evan felt that it was equally reasonable.

In the coming period, the number of newborns in the United States will skyrocket, which is known as the "postwar baby boom."

And the building block toys are aimed at children, which can be said to be promising.

Because of Ronald's arrival, Evan stayed until the day before spring break before returning to Los Angeles.

Before returning to Los Angeles, Evan naturally did not forget to communicate with Chester, and the development of photocopiers was progressing steadily, and Evan's money was not wasted.

When he arrived at Chester's lab, Evan saw that the construction site across from him had changed dramatically, the building was almost finished, landscape trees had been planted, and the workers inside were clearly putting the finishing touches on it.

Chester told him that it was a sure thing that it would become a campus at Sacramento State University, and that while the bill had not yet been voted on, it would be a matter of a few more days.

Sacramento State University will begin enrollment this fall, and Sacramento will have its own university.

Lately, local Sacramento newspapers have been talking about this.

Evan looked at the campus, which was only one street away from the laboratory, and secretly reminded himself that he should not forget to ask the Magic Seven Company to come over and donate some money to the school and set up a scholarship or something.

……

On March 29, at 8 a.m., Evan went to Audrey's house to pick up someone.

Not to mention the reluctance of the father and daughter, after the car started, Evan grabbed Audrey's little hand, recalling that at the door of the house just now, Joseph looked at his strange eyes and the way he wanted to speak, and couldn't help asking: "Audrey, do you know what Joseph wanted to say just now?"

Audrey's face turned red when she heard this, her little hand was withdrawn from Evan's palm, and she said stiffly: "I don't know!"

I won't say that Joseph wants to ask why you haven't rolled the sheets with me yet!

Girard, who was sitting in the front passenger seat (he was going to Los Angeles with Evan this time), suddenly interjected: "Evan, I think Miss Audrey's father probably wanted to ask if you had bullied his daughter." ”

Evan said, "Not really!"

It's too late to like it, how can you bully it?

Audrey glanced at Evan with a strange look in her eyes, well, it seems that this answer is really right, in all senses.

……

The day after returning to Los Angeles, Evan went to Inglewood.

In Carl's office at Applied Healthcare, Carl, Joe Wells, and Joe Girard report to Evon on their recent work.

Well, both Wells and Girard's names are Joe, and Evan suddenly has an urge to call them "JOJO" together.

Carl's first report, in general, can be summarized in one sentence, that is: the current progress of the Band-Aid factory has been completed by 40%, and trial production is expected to start in June, the FDA review of Type A (i.e., drug-free Band-Aid) is expected to be concluded at the end of next month, and Type B (i.e., sterilization and disinfection) will take at least six months.

Next up is Big Joe, phew, is Wells' report. His report is divided into two parts, one is the progress of product development, which has nothing to say, the ceramic pot that Wells has been thinking about is still inconclusive, and the second is the progress of the factory, unlike the Band-Aid production line, which requires a high degree of automation and sterilization environment, the electrical production line is much simpler, so although it starts more slowly, the progress is a little faster, according to Wells's estimates, the saucepan production line will also start trial production in June.

Finally, there's Girard, who has just arrived in Los Angeles and naturally has nothing to report. The reason why he also participated in the meeting was because he had to arrange the office of the card project team and hand over some matters with Carl.

This office is located within the Applied Healthcare office area.

After the meeting, Wells returned to the next door, and Carl took Girard to his office for a tour and handed over the business.

Evan was left alone in Carl's office to review the glue development report submitted by 3M Labs.

The results of the report disappointed Evan, and there was not even a shadow of the glue he had hoped for.

Last time, in order to let them produce results quickly, Evan specially gave a hint, but I didn't expect them to still make no progress. This made Evan have to doubt the R&D strength of 3M.

"Or are they making progress and trying to hide it on purpose?"

Evan shook his head, dismissing the conjecture himself.

Carl has been regularly monitoring 3M's patent applications, and if they do, they will be the first to find out.

Moreover, 3M itself must be aware of the risks of doing so.

Thinking about it, Evan can only think that 3M is not strong.

It seems that if you want to make a post-it note, you will have to wait a long time.

After commenting on the test report and saying hello to Carl and Girard, Evan returned to the cabin in the woods.

He agreed to go home for lunch, and Audrey wanted to try Chinese food again, and needed someone to try it.

"Sir, you're back!"

Say hello to Simran in the courtyard outside the door.

Because she is a woman, Audrey is much more accepting of the two bodyguards than Raymond and gets along very well.

Evan nodded at Simran.

Before Evan entered, Simran reminded, "Sir, there's a guest at home, it's for you, and Miss Audrey is entertaining him." ”

"Thank you!"

Evan turned his head to look at the luxury sports car parked on the side of the road, guessing who the owner was, and walked into the living room.

In the living room, Audrey was chatting with a man in a white suit with a shiny face, and when she heard Evan coming in, the man and Audrey both stood up.

"Hello, Evan, I take the liberty of coming to the door, I hope you don't be surprised. ”

“…… Jack Warner?"
