"Look at your rosy face, have you had a drink before coming? I won't make tea for you, drink some water."

Evan put a glass of water in front of Rick, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Have I become a close brother? Why, whether it is Leiden or Rick, they all came to me to consult about career planning.

Rick took the water cup, thanked him, and explained, "I drank a little, but not much. I'm very awake now."

"By the way, I'm here to ask for help. Don't let me be perfunctory!"

"What am I perfunctory about you?" Evan smiled and said, "Before giving me advice, what do you think about your own where to go after graduation?"

"Well... your family will definitely not leave it alone, let's talk about it together."

"Okay..." Rick suddenly felt his lips a little dry, so he took a sip of water first, and then said: "Let me talk about the advice given by my family first. First, continue to study in college, and there is no major requirement, and you can get a master's degree. Anyway, I don't lack time or tuition. Another suggestion is to work in the family's industry. Well, I guess it might be a manager assistant in the bank or something."

"From the work I gave, I knew they were inclined to let me continue my studies. They knew that I would not be able to go back to my hometown and be under the supervision of my family at this time."

Rick's hometown is in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Taft family has been a prominent local family since the last century.

"Continuing further studies is a good choice," Evan commented: "You are studying mathematics now, a pure theory subject. When you reach the master's or even the doctoral level, you can change your major, which is basically no difficulty for you."

"You are twenty-one years old this year, and staying in college for a few more years, it's not too late to come out at 24 or 5."

"Anyway, you don't plan to compete with your brothers, aren't you?"

"That's right, I don't want to continue to get on in college," Rick said with a shaking head.

Taft is a big family, with great influence in the American politics, and the wealth he has accumulated is not a small amount. Born in such a family, Rick has witnessed many intrigues, and this is because his youngest son and his family intends to protect him.

But even so, Rick was increasingly unable to bear the atmosphere at home, so he acted like he could learn California without authorization.

Rick came to California to relax. He became friends with Evan by chance, and therefore he inadvertently improved his status at home.

The helmsman of the Taft family, the wife of Senator Robert Taft and Rick's mother, had the idea of ​​letting Rick develop in California after knowing the relationship between Rick and Evan. This proposal was originally proposed by Rick's second brother, Robert Taft Jr. However, as a party involved, Rick has been kept in the dark.

Of course, Rick is not a fool. He noticed something from his family's words.

That's why he was so annoyed at this moment.

In my heart, Rick also wanted to stay away from the Taft family's circle of power and develop in California by himself, but in this way, it would be a point of using friends. This kind of thing is a bit difficult for the proud Rick to accept.

"Since that's the case, do you have any specific plans?" Rick's eyes looked complicated, confused and struggling. Evan couldn't tell the difference, so he simply stopped thinking about it and asked directly: "Do you want to experience life, try a job at the bottom, or find a project, be your own boss, and make a career?"

"If it is the former, I will not interfere. If it is the latter, I can be a consultant, an angel investor or something."

"Ange investor?"

Rick showed a puzzled expression: "What does this mean?"

Evan was stunned, and then casually explained: "It means providing seed investment for a startup project like an angel."

The term angel investment first appeared in 1978 in the study of William Wetzel, a professor at the University of New Hampshire and founder of the Center for Risk Research. Of course, similar investment behaviors have existed long ago, but more popular in the art field. More formal angel investment groups appeared in the 1980s. Before that, most angel investors were Mavericks, and practitioners were often retired entrepreneurs or executives with small savings.

"Seed Investment..." Rick nodded slightly, expressing his understanding, using "angels" to describe the investor's very image.

Then, Rick shook his head and pulled the topic back: "Be your boss... forget it."

"I know how much I have. Don't say that I will not be able to find the entrepreneurial project I am interested in for a while. Even if I have it, I don't have the energy and patience to do it."

Hearing this, Evan couldn't help but nod. Rick is a man who is curious, but not patient, and has a wide range of interests, but none of them can "live" for more than half a year.

Rick's longest interest is nothing else, but the "Planet Walker House" community.

However, even though this club was formed by Rick himself, he has not attended the club's activities for two months.

"If you don't want to go to school or be a boss, then there's only one option left." Evan asked curiously: "Do you have a career you like?"

Rick thought for a while and replied, "Well, bank staff? Stock trader?"

"These two professions are both dealing with numbers, so it's a bit related to your profession." Evan nodded, understanding the reason why Rick chose these two professions.

Rick showed an expression of being a confidant, and smiled and said, "That's what I think."

"Go to the bank, this is simple." Evan thought for a while and said, "It's a bit troublesome for stock traders. I don't have this business myself and I'm not familiar with securities companies."

"Last year I bought a bank. Do you want to experience it? I can write you a letter of recommendation."

"If you don't want to go to my bank, other banks in California can do it, such as Wells Fargo. Their company has a close relationship with me, so you can join in without exposing your background."

Although Rick didn't say it explicitly, Evan could be sure that he had the idea of ​​hiding the background.

Rick shook his head and said, "No need for a letter of recommendation. What I want to know is, in your opinion, whether these two professions can play a role in training."

"Especially, can I make me more focused?"

Rick was determined to get rid of his own problems. Evan was very happy. After thinking about it, he said, "Rick, I can't guarantee it either. I can only say it may help, as long as you want to do your job well."

Rick sighed, "You're enough."
