Linda and Elizabeth looked at each other, and Virginia pretended to be calm.

A moment later, before the two of them could focus their eyes on her, Virginia slipped a piece of bread into her mouth with a blank expression.

"I'm done, you go on. ”

Get up, put away the bowl, and disappear.

Linda blinked, looked at Elizabeth, and asked, "It's a deserted run, right?"

Elizabeth nodded and said, "It's called not admitting yourself." ”

It didn't take long for the sound of the three women fighting in the house.

"Gina, tell me honestly, isn't that the person?"

"Don't say it, hahaha, I won't say it......"

"I advise you not to resist, look at me, tickle and attack......"

"Don't ...... Hmmm......"

The fight lasted for half an hour, and if they hadn't been on the street, it was estimated that the two of them would have been endless.

When they finished their fuss, got ready, and walked out the door in their warm coats, their faces flushed with vitality.

Women are born with a love of shopping, just as women are born with a love of beauty.

Men mostly shop for practicality, women don't.

They are looking for beauty, so they can tirelessly browse the shops in their sights before finally deciding what to buy.

As a result, their shopping trips are often time-consuming.

Evan, who knew this well, had a whole day to accompany Audrey to buy gifts.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two went out.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Audrey finally bought everything she wanted to buy and left for home.

In about eight hours, except for the lunch break, the two went to the commercial streets of three places, walked several kilometers, and entered and exited hundreds of clothing stores, art stores, craft stores, jewelry stores, and galleries.

It took so much time to buy not much: a tie for Joseph, three pieces of inexpensive jewelry for Evan's sisters, a pocket watch for Evan's brother Robert, a lady's purse for Nina, and a box of cigars for Earle.

Everybody has it, but there isn't Evan.

As soon as he got home, his whole body was weak, and Evan, who was slumped on the sofa, snorted, "No ...... No ...... mine"

Audrey turned a blind eye, put the box and bag containing the gift into the room, and entered the kitchen in good spirits.

Evan opened his mouth, touched his two sore thighs, and almost sighed, "Are women all monsters?"

The next day, Evan came to the company.

This will be his last visit to the company this year, and the next one will be in 1949.

At the usual morning meeting, after listening to the briefings of the various leaders, Evan did not immediately announce the dismissal of the meeting, but chatted with them for a while.

He first asked Carl and Wells about the dinner, and then he said that he would return to Sacramento tomorrow and start the long Christmas break. Speaking of this, Evan felt a little embarrassed, because various companies, especially Applied Physical Systems and Xerox, were at a critical time, everyone was busy, and the big boss was on vacation.

Don't share the joys and sorrows, but still enjoy it secretly?

Anyone will have an opinion.

Although this kind of opinion is not explicitly stated, Evan feels that he still needs to be appeased.

Therefore, he decided to reveal in advance the incentive plan that will be announced at the annual meeting of the "Warren Consortium" next year.

"Everyone knows about the annual meeting of the consortium, and this year because there are many things, it will not be opened, but there is something I want to talk about first, so that everyone can have a thought. ”

"The Magic Seven Company was my first company, and Carl and Davidson were the first people to follow me, and as you know, the Magic Seven Company has implemented an option incentive plan. ”

"What an option is, you should all know that it is a benefit for the executives who contribute to the company. It allows everyone to share the benefits from the company's development and become closer to the company. In short, in a word, it can make everyone more money. ”

"Because of the implementation of this plan, the Magic Seven Company is running smoothly even without me. This shows that it has served my intended purpose. ”

"So, I'm going to start rolling it out in other companies as well...... Well, Vidak, your S.H.I.E.L.D. is an exception, but as compensation, you can choose shares in other companies. ”

Hearing this, everyone attending the meeting held their breath, which was both an accident and a surprise.

There are only two people who are doing better, one is Carl, who knew that Evan had this plan, of course he is not surprised, and the other is Girard, who already has the shares of the Magic Seven Company in his hands, and when he was seconded from the Magic Seven Company to the Applied Physical Systems Company, he got Evan's promise that he would give the shares of this company, so the same performance is not waveless.

As for Wells, Lewis, Bailey and others, they were almost speechless with excitement.

As a financial instrument, options are not a new thing in the United States, as early as 1791, after the establishment of the New York Stock Exchange, over-the-counter stock options trading quickly became popular. However, during this period, options trading was very non-standardized, and it was easy to be related to insider trading. It wasn't until 1929, after the establishment of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, that options trading became more regulated. But options as a way to motivate employees are still new. Of course, this is not to say that there is no such practice, but it is really rare, especially the options of companies with excellent growth potential.

At this point in time, almost every business owner is going to share their stock with others. The notion that no one works without stocks and options won't emerge until Silicon Valley takes shape. Before that, the salaries of executives of a company were not high, and the best was nothing more than the financial industry on Wall Street, where they could become partners and have the right to dividends.

In short, Evan's option incentive plan has an unexpected appeal.

Therefore, even Carlson, who already owned Xerox stock, couldn't hold back his heart and asked, "Evan, can I enjoy this plan too?"

Evan nodded: "Of course, you are the director of R&D, so you naturally have this qualification." ”

Carlsen clenched his fist when he heard this.

Looking at the expressions of everyone who wanted to speak and stopped, Evan said again: "Everyone will definitely feel strange, why do I want to put such valuable company shares to everyone, well, I believe everyone should not think that I am exaggerating when I say that my company is very valuable......"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"That's good, let everyone own the company's stock, is to want everyone and the company to be of the same mind, play a higher subjective initiative, after all, with stocks, maybe a little less, but it is also the owner of the company. ”

"I've always believed that serving others and serving oneself is completely different from the state and the degree of dedication. ”

"What do you think?" 8)
