"Evan, it's so interesting to chat with you." In the conference room, Thomas held a cup of black tea with his hand, which was so comfortable.

At this time, only he and Evan were left in the conference room. Thomas's butler and Davidson discussed in another room how to cooperate in selling Rubik's Cubes in Europe.

After some exchange, Evan could confirm that talking about orders was not Thomas' main purpose, and knowing himself was the key.

During the less than an hour of communication, Thomas was eloquent and not only praised Evan and Rubik's Cube, but also said that his trip to the United States was useless. Then, like a friend of many years, he cared about Evan's little things while talking to him. Evan was careless for a moment and told everyone that he had a sister and a sister. However, even though he knew that Evan's father was the governor, Thomas's reaction was very dull. It was precisely because of this that Evan believed that the person in front of him was really a descendant of aristocratic.

Evan said with the expression I did, "Thomas, I'm so sorry I only know you now."

Thomas participated in World War II and had a much richer experience than Evan. With his eloquence and good eloquence, Evan gained a lot of knowledge. Of course, just speaking of his knowledge, Evan was not inferior, and he also stunned Thomas.

Thomas nodded: "I feel the same way. Unfortunately, I can't stay in the United States for too long, otherwise we will definitely become friends who can talk about everything."

"Actually, even if you only need your heart across the Atlantic Ocean, you can become friends, right?" Evan stretched out his right hand to Thomas and smiled.

Thomas was stunned, then reached out and grabbed it.

Evan said: "I'm glad to meet you, my friend, my name is Evan!"

Thomas responded: "So, my friend, my name is Thomas!"

...

Thomas stayed in Sacramento for only two days before leaving, during which Thomas introduced his wife to Evan.

By the way, Thomas came to the United States for his honeymoon.

The two sides only discussed a framework agreement when promoting the Rubik's Cube to Europe. The subsequent matters will be taken over by a toy company called Airfix introduced by Thomas.

Gillard and Davidson were relieved about this result. Although the order of 1 million was temporarily lost, it just gave them time to increase production capacity. This is a good thing.

A week after the sales of the Rubik's Cube, Magic7 was bombarded again by phone. New orders flew over like snowflakes, but Magic7 could not openly accept orders because the production capacity was not yet in place.

After emergency recruitment, nearly 2,000 workers on the factory assembly line have already been wiped out, almost without jobs in the three areas of North Sacramento, nearby Sacramento and East Sacramento. If you want more workers, you can only go to further areas to recruit, and the labor costs must increase a little further. Moreover, if the production capacity of injection molding machines is not increased, it will be useless no matter how many workers there are.

There is no way, Davidson can only build a new factory on the open space, while improving the efficiency of the assembly line, and allowing Gillard to give distributors a sigh of relief. If there is really a shortage of stock, Magic7 may implement different quotas per region to take orders.

The dealers quit Gillard's trouble, and the goods were sold well, so no one wanted to get more. So purchasing representatives rushed to Sacramento together.

Gillard is about to usher in a storm baptism, and Evan knows nothing. Of course, even if he knows, Evan will only gloat, and this matter has nothing to do with him. Anyway, if you want to blame him, he will blame himself. Who told him to only ask for 300,000 yuan in stock at the beginning!

Even he himself didn't expect the Rubik's Cube to sell so well.

After seeing off Thomas, Evan did not pay special attention to the sales of the Rubik's Cube. He decided to listen to reports once a week and no longer care about anything else. All things such as factory expansion were left to Davidson. As for himself, he devoted all his energy to the laboratory.

Carl was quite capable. He successfully persuaded DuPont to provide the type of nylon samples Evan needed. To this end, DuPont even sent an engineer to communicate with Evan to ensure that the samples meet the requirements.

Evan was very happy—a talent came to his door, and this time he said he would keep people behind.

Rona of United Carbon had no news after returning, which made Evan particularly regretful.

Evan wanted to concentrate on "invention" and seek benefits for the majority of drivers, but visitors came one after another.

On the morning of July 10, Evan was discussing with DuPont engineer Will Parsons about which materials the nylon used to make seat belts should be combined with to enhance performance when Carl suddenly walked into the lab and interrupted them.

"Carl, before I get angry, you'd better give me a reason."

Evan was obviously angry, even more angry than being interrupted when he interacted with his girlfriend.

Carl seemed to be prepared for this. He said without saying a word, "Evan, someone is here to find you."

"Look for me? Who?" Carl didn't say who it was, indicating that it was someone Evan didn't know.

Carl said: "The other party claims to be from BPOE (Elk's kindness and protective order)!"

When Evan heard this, he put down the nylon in his hand and said in confusion: "Brother Elk? What are they looking for me?"

Carl did not answer, but asked, "See or not?"

Evan thought about it and decided to meet him.

Who made his Earl also a member of BPOE? Although he has basically faded out of this organization now, I heard that he was an active member when he was young.

After saying apologies to Will, Evan temporarily left the laboratory and came to his office.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the three men sitting on the sofa immediately stood up. On such a hot day, these three people were still wearing full suits and tie. After seeing this, Evan wanted to ask first if they were not afraid of heatstroke.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties. When he saw Evan, he reached out and greeted him: "Hello, Evan... sir, come here to visit, please don't mind."

Evan shook his hands gently and said, "Good morning, I haven't asked you what you call me yet."

"It's so rude. My name is Daniel Gray, and I'm the Lecturing Knight at the BPOE Sacramento Lodge."

"Hello, Mr. Gray."

After introducing himself, Gray introduced two other young men to Evan.

"This is Harry Lyon, now the Trustee of BPOE."

The trustee is the lowest-level member of the BPOE, and the lecturer of the Knights can rank fourth in Sacramento and is a member of the management.

Evan shook hands with Harry. Harry was tall and thin, reminding him of Sheldon (the protagonist of the American drama "The Big Bang Them".

Gray added later: "Harry's father is Mr. Charles, the Speaker of (California), and maybe you've seen it before."

Evan replied with disrespect, "Maybe, but I have no effect."

Lyon's face turned dark when he heard this.

Gray smiled awkwardly and then introduced another person: "This is Edward Rogers, also a trustee."

Rogers looked relatively normal, a little taller than Evan. Even if his limbs were wrapped in a suit, he could tell his stubborn figure.

Well... it's not worse than Evan not long ago.

After coming to this world for nearly a year, Evan's figure has obviously become thinner, and I don't know if it's because of his height.

After shaking hands with Rogers, Evan asked the three of them to sit down.

"Why is Mr. Gray coming to me?" After sitting down, Evan asked straight to the point.

Seeing this, Gray also saved the greetings and explained his purpose.

As Evan expected, Gray came to invite him to join BPOE.

"Mr. Evan, Ling Zun was once the ruler of our BPOE California area, and Ling Brother Colin is also an elk. All the country we have millions of elk brothers, among which are high-ranking politicians, millionaires, bankers, and you are not alone wherever you go."

“Adding BPOE is both following tradition and fulfilling each other, Evan, what do you think?”

After pretending to think carefully, Evan said, "I feel very honored to have a knight come forward to invite him in person. But if I join, I still need to think carefully. Otherwise, let's find another time to talk?"

"And, I remember that I need to be 21 years old to be an elk, right? I'm only 17 years old now, and it doesn't fit the rules even if I want to join."

Gray smiled and said, "Don't worry, Evan, since I'm here to invite you, it means it's in line with the rules. Because you are the son of the Elk, and you have already obtained the OFFER from Caltech, you don't need to comply with the age rule."

"Also, the two trustees around me are all part of Caltech. You can talk to them about the university and everything about Caltech in the Elk Tower."

Faced with Gray's persuasion, Evan remained unmoved.

The conversation could not continue, so Gray had to say goodbye.

Gray was a little surprised that he failed to "take" Evan on the spot. He thought it was a sure thing.

Of course, Gray did not give up. Didn’t Evan say he wanted to think about it again? He decided to come to him every once in a while and believed that he would be able to "take" him one day.

Gray took Lyon and Rogers out, and while walking, he still told them to come and contact Evan more. Maybe Evan would "make up his mind" at any time.

When the three of them arrived on the side of the road and were about to get on the bus, a black luxury Ford sedan suddenly stopped in front of them, and a man in a short-sleeved shirt walked out of the car.
