Chapter 47: Strike
An hour later, William reluctantly sent Evan and his party away.
Their next stop was Universal Studios.
In the car, Audrey took the business card given to her by William and looked at it over and over.
Evan took a fancy to his eyes and asked, "What, I was told to change my mind?"
"No!" Audrey shook her head, looked at Evan and said, "I still think the same way, I'm still a student, I like to dance, and all I need to do is how to improve my skills, instead of suddenly changing careers to acting." ”
Audrey had already said this when she rejected William, and she repeated it again, as if she felt that Evan did not believe her.
Evan smiled slightly, held Audrey's slender hand, and said, "Whatever you want, you can do it as you like, anyway, whether it's dancing, acting, or even oil painting, I like and support it." ”
What Evan said was sincere, and Audrey was very useful, and under the heartbeat, her eyes remained motionless and Evan looked at each other affectionately.
The two got closer and closer, and finally they could feel each other's breathing, and just as the two were about to stick together, a sudden braking of the car interrupted the charm.
Karl, the driver, whispered, "Sorry, Evan, someone crossed the road. Are you all right?"
Evan sat down again, glanced at Audrey, whose cheeks were flushed, and said solemnly, "It's okay!"
In my heart, I wanted to catch Carl and beat him up.
At the same time, he secretly raised the priority of one thing: "You have to get the seat belt out quickly, otherwise it will be too unsafe." ”
Universal Studios is located just north of Los Angeles, and you can see the Hollywood sign in the distance on Route 101 in the middle of the road.
At this time, Universal Studios is only one of the three small studios, not yet the big six in the future, but the area of the studio is not small. However, due to the factors of the times, the houses are all wooden, and Evan really can't appreciate it, and after taking a few photos, Evan doesn't want to move anymore, and he is left alone.
Carl was with the camera by Evan's side, and the two discussed the arrangements for the back of the company as they walked.
As he spoke, a man hurried into Universal Studios.
"Evan!Karl!"
"Girard?" Karl looked back and exclaimed, "Why are you here too?" ”
Girard was panting and his expression was gloomy, and Evan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Before Girard's breath could calm down, he shook his head and said, "It's not ......"
Evan asked, "What's that?"
Before Girard could speak, Karl proposed, "Let's find a place to sit down." ”
"Okay!"
Not far away is a cold drink shop with tables and chairs for visitors to rest.
After the three of them sat down, Carl asked for three glasses of Coca-Cola on the rocks, and Girard couldn't wait to say, "Evan, it's the Sacramento factory that has an accident." ”
"Factory?" Karl was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
The loan has just come down, and the factory can't be fine, and if something goes wrong, at least $200,000 will have to be wasted.
Evan, by contrast, was much calmer. He took a sip of Coke before saying, "It's okay, say it slowly, as long as it's not a dead person, it's a trivial matter!"
Seeing that Evan was so calm and light, Gilard admired it and calmed down and said, "Of course there are no dead people......
"Evan, yes, Davidson called and said that the workers in the factory were in trouble, that someone had organized a union, that they were asking for higher wages, and that if they didn't agree, they were going on strike. ”
Davidson didn't say yes...... So, now the factory is shut down. ”
"Union?" Karl frowned when he heard the word, and smashed his mouth: "Now this worker is really ......"
Evan had the same expression. However, after a moment, he put away his expression and looked at Girard with interest: "It is their legitimate right for workers to organize trade unions, why do you have such an expression." ”
Girard's expression was a little embarrassed, he had resigned because he had sympathized with the workers and was dissatisfied with General Motors, but now he came to the new owner's house, only to find that the workers' unionization was not always so legitimate.
"Evan......" Girard smiled and asked instead, "What should we do now?"
Evan thought for a moment and asked, "Did Davidson say how many workers were on strike, and how much more wages were demanded?"
Girard replied: "More than 800 front-line workers, most of whom participated, asked for a 15% salary increase. ”
"15%?" Carl was shocked, "so much, the factory has only been open for a few days, so much is required, it's too whimsical......"
Girard tried to say something, but swallowed it back to his lips.
Evan stretched out his hand and stopped Carl from continuing. After thinking about it, he instructed Girard: "I'll handle this matter, Girard, you just don't care, concentrate on the rest of NBC and CBS." ”
"You go back and call Davidson and ask him to give the workers a day off and talk to the union organizers about negotiations tomorrow. Be careful to let him take care of the factory and don't have an accident!"
Then he turned to Carl and said, "We'll go back to Sacramento today!"
After arranging, Evan asked Girard to go first. He found Nina and told them about the factory.
"That's the way it is, so, Nina, Audrey, I've got to go back first, and you guys just keep playing and have a little fun. ”
"Or I'll go back!" said Audrey.
"Don't!" Evan advised, "Audrey, you help me stay with Nina and Dorothy, they both like you very much." ”
"That's it!"
Nina also helped: "Yes, Audrey, you play with us for a few days and then go back." ”
"Evan, you're busy with something. Before Evan left, Nina whispered in his ear, "If you can't figure it out, ask Earl." ”
Evan nodded and said yes.
That evening, Evan and Carl rushed back to Sacramento. The two of them met Davidson at the office of Magic7 on Eighth Avenue to discuss how to negotiate with the union tomorrow.
Davidson gave Evan all the information he had gathered. After reading it, Evan laughed and said, "Yes, you can find a stepping stone to find me." ”
"Davidson, what do you think should be done?"
Davidson sneered, "Of course it's a kick to the America River to drink." ”
Evan nodded, his eyes sharp.
After that, the three of them discussed tomorrow's arrangements.
Once all the details were finalized, Evan returned to the residence. Upon entering, Evan heard Dora's silver bell-like laughter, and he shook his head, thinking he was hallucinating.
They should still be in Los Angeles!
Walking into the living room, a figure suddenly burst out and pounced on him.
"Evan, surprised, surprised?"
Evan opened his mouth and touched Dorothy, who was hanging on him, and saw that Earle, Nina, Virginia, Dorothy, and Robert were all sitting in the living room.
"Nina, why are you all back?"
Nina said, "One less person, boring play, and back." Rest assured, Audrey we've sent us home. ”
"Come, tell Earl what happened to you, and let him give you a staff officer!"
"Okay!" Evan nodded, looking at Earl sitting on the couch with his tall head, and said, "Here's the thing......"
At the same time, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, in a certain ship of a certain fleet, Colin in a sailor's shirt shouted lonely in his heart: "Yes, no one can do it without me, I can do it without me." I'm not biological. ”
