Xerox's celebration party was arranged in the company's office building. The four-story building, also in Inglewood, just four blocks away from where Applied Physical Systems was located, was rented by Carl in one go. Quite a bit of cost and plenty of space. Although Xerox doesn't need that much now, Carl feels that it is worth it considering the future needs.

No, because there is a spare space, there is no need to go to the hotel when the company has a party.

There were hundreds of people attending the celebration party, and the floor floor was full.

In the venue, everyone, regardless of whether they were executives or middle and lower-level employees, all held tall glasses and smiled, or two people, or three or five people, sharing each other's joy and excitement.

Looking at this scene, Wells couldn't help but sigh: "It's only been less than half a year, and there are so many people in the company." ”

"That's fast!"

Hearing Wells's exclamation, Carl smiled and said, "Wells brother, you should be used to this speed, you know, you have already experienced this situation once." ”

Wells nodded and said, "That's right, after the TV project was established, this is how the Applied Physical Systems Company developed. ”

"Speaking of which, I sincerely admire the vision and courage of the boss. Once he identified the project, he did not hesitate to invest resources, recruit people, build factories, and spend money like flowing water, but he did not frown, and it seemed that it was not his money. ”

"Eh, Carl, do you ever feel that the boss never really feared that the project he chose would fail, whether it was the Rubik's Cube that he started with, or the electric saucepan project I first came into contact with, and later the TV project. Even the current photocopier, although the release date has just been postponed by Evan, as far as I know, there are a lot of expected orders. ”

Carl nodded sympathetically, "I think so too...... Come, a toast to our feelings!"

As he spoke, Karl raised the cup in his hand.

"Ding!"

After clinking glasses, the two each took a small sip of champagne from their glasses.

"Hey, did you see the boss?"

After a while, Girard and Carlson, who were traveling with them, walked up to them, and Carlson, who was in a trance, asked.

Wells shook his head: "No." ”

Looking at Carlson's slightly swaying body, Carl said, "Carlson, you seem to have drunk a little too much." ”

"No, I didn't drink much. Magnus waved his hand, "Since you didn't see the boss, ...... See you later!"

"Girard, do you want to be together?"

Saying that, Carlson was leaving.

Carl looked at Girard and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"You're all looking for Evan?"

Girard said: "He wanted to talk to the boss about the standard again, and I was pulled by him ......"

"Uh, don't talk about it, I have to follow him, he's not in the right state right now......"

With that, Girard waved at them and then walked after Magnus.

Carl and Wells looked at each other.

Girard doesn't agree to set the bar higher, and wants to persuade Evan to take it back?

I didn't expect Girard to be so ...... Daring?

Karl brought the glass to his lips, took a sip, and asked, "Wells, do you want to go and see it?"

Wells thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No, it's impossible for Gilard to convince Evan." ”

That's right.

Carlson and Girard eventually found Evan outside the venue, while he was talking to Bob.

"Evan, can you give me a moment?"

Carlsen stood in front of Evan and made up his mind not to back down.

Evan looked at Carlson and Girard, "Does it have to be now?"

Bob had just delivered him a message that he was about to leave early.

Magnus nodded affirmatively.

"Alright then, Bob, you go get the car ready. After saying a word to Bob, Evan beckoned to Carlsen, "Let's go to your office and talk." ”

"Okay. ”

Carlson replied.

This is not the place to get down to business.

Carlson looked a little drunk, but in fact his mind was still clear, but under the influence of alcohol, he was a little more impulsive than usual.

The three of them arrived at Carlson's office, located downstairs from the venue, and Evan sat casually on the couch used to meet guests.

As director of R&D at Xerox, his office is one of the few that has been specially renovated.

"You all sit. Although it wasn't his own office, these words came out of Evan's mouth, and everyone didn't think he was anti-customer-oriented.

After Carlson and Girard were seated, Evan said, "Say, Carlson, is it for the afternoon?"

In the afternoon, Evan made a temporary decision to delay the launch of the photocopier, forcing Carlson to raise production standards. At that time, Evan had already noticed Carlson's reaction, and his expression of wanting to stop talking was obviously reluctant. So it was no surprise that he would find himself again.

"Uh, yes. Carlson was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Evan, regarding the production standards, I still think the current standards are sufficient. ”

"Well, I'm not saying this to disagree with your view of quality, just because, at this stage, no matter how much the level of workers is raised, the impact on the final product is limited. ”

"It's not that we can't do what you ask, but if it really comes as you say, the investment we need to pay will be extremely huge, and then these costs will be spread to the product, and the final price will increase a lot, and finally it will inevitably affect the sales of the product. ”

"I've discussed this with Girard and he agrees with me. ”

"So, Evan, do you want to think again?"

Magnus spoke more fluently, his eyes brighter and brighter, and when he finished the last sentence, he looked at Evan with sincere eyes, hoping for a result that suited his heart.

Evan couldn't help but frown when he heard Carlsen's words, he first glanced at Carlsen, and then at Girard.

"Carlson, wait a minute. ”

"Girard, that's not what you said this afternoon. ”

Inconsistent, the first rat at both ends.

That's not a good word.

Being looked at by Evan, Girard was full of excitement, and hurriedly said: "BOSS, you listen to my explanation." ”

"You're right when you say that good quality products help sales, and I raise my hands in agreement. But Carlson has a point. ”

"Carlson calculated for me that if you implement a higher standard according to your requirements, the final cost may rise by 10 to 20 percent, which will be reflected in the price, which will be a big number. Even if the customers of the photocopier are not bad for money, they generally don't spend money on it. In my opinion, if the price rises so much, it is indeed possible to affect the enthusiasm of customers to buy. ”

"So ......"
