The news of Thomas Lamont's poor health was naturally told by Alan Sproul, who was in New York. Wall Street is the center of the United States and cannot be avoided. Finding opportunities to integrate into it is the most realistic choice.

In the current American business world, Morgan and Rockefeller have two major consortiums, according to the top two, with assets of over $50 billion and $26 billion respectively. Compared with the former two, other consortiums such as Kuhn Robbie, Chicago, Mellon, DuPont, Boston, and Cleveland, can only be regarded as local consortiums, and none of them own more than $10 billion. As for California, where Evan is located, the consortium that will be called California in the future has not yet been fully formed. It has three strong economic entities, namely the American banking system with Bank of America and Keser Steel as its core, the Southern California system with Bank of America, Bank of California, Lockheed Aircraft Company and California United Petroleum Corporation as its core, and the San Francisco system with San Francisco as its base.

All the businesses that Evan is currently developing are in California, and he intends to become an important member of the California consortium in the future. The reason is that Evan’s main business is the electronics industry, and California is the center of the electronics industry and the concentration of innovation.

With Evan in Silicon Valley, it is impossible to move.

Since Evan has made up his mind to take root in California, how to deal with the relationship between Wall Street and Morgan, who is eyeing the western region, has become an important matter that he needs to consider and pay attention to in advance.

Due to the rise of the California region during World War II, especially the booming development of the arms industry and the oil and steel industry, the expansion of the two major consortiums to the west has become an inevitable event. In the face of invasion of foreign forces, it is inevitable that local California forces will resist in groups. In order to increase their strength, expansion has become a natural choice.

The industries that Evan currently owns, whether it is the Magic Seven Group, which focuses on toys and entertainment products, the application health care company specializing in medical products, and the application physical system company with the lowest operating income, are all high-quality industries. Therefore, it is very likely to be targeted by local consortiums that urgently need to expand their strength.

Even if Evan's father was the governor, this could happen.

In fact, there has been a test from local consortiums once.

But Evan himself would never want to be a vassal of others.

Therefore, in order to quickly enhance hard power, Evan decided to take a risk - to contact the two major Wall Street giants in advance.

Logically speaking, Wall Street is definitely stronger than local consortiums, but why did Evan dare to deal with them first? The reason is, as mentioned in the previous article, American banks are managed by both federal and state levels, and the influence at the state level is not smaller than that of the federal level. Therefore, there are almost no large banks that are crossing states at this time. For Evan, the threat of local consortiums is much greater than that of Morgan Rockefeller. Wall Street, to use one word to describe them is "out of reach".

Among the two giants, Evan preferred Morgan. The reason was not only by chance, but also by the opportunity to acquire one of the core of the Morgan consortium, JP Morgan's shares. More importantly, Morgan's influence in California was smaller than Rockefeller.

...

After making an explanation with Carl, Evan left Ingwood. When he returned to Pasadena, it was almost eleven o'clock.

BlackerHouse, outside the 111th room door.

"Evan!"

Evan took out the keys and just opened the door, a shout came from the corridor, with excitement in his tone.

He looked back and found that the owner of the voice was Leiden.

"Hi...Leedon!"

As soon as Evan said hello, Leiden came to him. His face was rosy and drunk, he shouted at Evan: "Evan, we succeeded. The experiment was successful!"

While saying that, Leiden tried to open his arms and give Evan a big hug. Evan frowned and smiled at Leiden, saying, "I understand. Seeing you are so happy, I understand immediately."

Evan's body was developing very quickly, and now he was a little taller than Leiden. Therefore, he could easily control Leiden.

"You have drunk a lot, come in and sit down and have a rest."

As he said that, Evan "invite" Leiden into the dormitory, let him sit quietly on the chair, and then add a glass of honey water for him.

Leighton, who was obviously drunk, unexpectedly followed Evan's orders very much, but after drinking honey water, he kept talking nonstop.

Evan basically only listened and didn't say anything about Leiden's drunken words, and at most he would "hmm" from time to time, as a response.

He regarded Leiden's voice as the background sound when he wrote his little homework.

About an hour later, Leiden's mind gradually returned to awake. He looked at Evan who was writing the paper and said embarrassedly: "Evan, I seem to have caused you a lot of trouble. Uh, the experiment is very successful, and I will give you my report tomorrow... Now, I have to go back."

As he said that, Leiden put down the empty water cup and stood up and was about to leave.

Evan put down his atomic pen and shouted, "Wait a minute."

"Are you sure you're awake?"

Leiden nodded heavily, "I promise!"

"Okay... I'll take you into the car!"

Leiden waved his hand and said no, but Evan still did his own thing, took the door key and walked out of the dormitory with Leiden.

Leiden's current residence has not been changed, and it is a bit far from the school, so Evan is worried.

Although there are taxis at this time, if you can't get a taxi, Evan will let Leiden stay at school.

On the way to the school gate, Evan and Leiden briefly exchanged the results of the experiment and the subsequent arrangements.

Along the way, Leiden reported the experimental data carefully. Only then did Evan really realize that he was indeed awake.

"Since the data is good, then write it into an article and publish it as soon as possible."

"You can write the paper, Leiden!"

"Don't be too busy refusing..." Evan said to Leiden as he stood at the school gate and a taxi had already parked on the side of the road.

Leiden hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, leave it to me, Evan!"

Before getting in the car, Evan and Leiden shook hands and said, "Thank you, happy cooperation! My friend!"

...

The next day, Dean Dubridge and Professor Watson, who received news of new progress in the experiment, came to Warren Leiden Laboratory together and watched the repeated verification experiment. Then he quickly left and no longer disturbed Leiden to organize the experimental results into a paper.

As for Evan, he did not come to the laboratory until after the course was over as usual. At this time, Leiden had already prepared the article almost. The two of them discussed the specific content of the paper in the office tonight. Regarding the content of the paper, including the explanation of grammar and principle, and even the accompanying pictures, Evan's requirements are very high and strict, which even Leiden, a doctor, is inferior to that.

Therefore, this article about junction transistors was sent out one day later.

Of course, before this, the relevant patent documents had already been handed over to the Patent Office.

...

Union Station, Los Angeles, Sunday, October 12.

After a few months, Gillard stepped on the land of Los Angeles again.

After three months of working on the two projects of cards and building blocks, Evan called him back to Los Angeles by phone.

Both of the new products of Magic Seven Company seem to be quite successful at present. Although the sales of plastic building blocks can only be said to be just balanced, the sales of cards are not low. Compared with their low cost, the profit margin is even more terrifying. The sales of official novels are also steadily increasing.

The new product can achieve such results, it has to be said that Gillard's marketing department has made great efforts. However, Evan still called him to Los Angeles.

Because, Gillard can do not have much to do next, so it would be better to come and help Wells.

"Hi, Gillard!" Joe Wells, who came to pick up the car, shook hands with Gillard cordially. Although the two did not meet many times, they were still familiar with each other.

"Hi, Wells, long time no see!"

The two of them walked out of the station and got into the special car while exchanging greetings.

Wells smiled and said, "Gillard, today is the weekend. We will find a place to relax. Next, the sales department of the company (applied physical systems) will give you the training!"

Gillard was not polite: "I have no objection to how you arrange it. However, it's still early, I have a place I want to go first, you can see..."

Wells said: "Listen to you, where?"

Gillard casually reported an address, and Wells sounded a little familiar.

A few minutes later, the car arrived in front of a small shop in downtown Los Angeles, and the sign reads: "Magic House"

Wells suddenly realized that no wonder he was familiar with him.

He accompanied Evan when the store opened.

Wells said: "Gillard, let's go in and see, how about it?"

Gillard nodded and said, "That's fine, let's see if there are any new routines developed in Los Angeles."

Because it was a weekend, the card store had a lot of customers. When Wells and Gillard walked into the store, they found that there were people on each table, and there were players watching from three or two around.

Wells has been here, and Gillard is a senior executive of his company, so the store manager naturally recognizes it. When he saw them, the store manager wanted to come and greet him, but Gillard waved his hand and drove him away.

However, of course, the store manager would not miss the opportunity to get close and enthusiastically brought drinks to the two of them.

So Gillard held a bottle of Coca-Cola in glass and looked over with interest. When he walked to the fourth table, Gillard stopped.

The two sides fighting on this table are a bit special. One is very young, at most ten years old, and is a boy, while the other is a middle-aged man. If it weren't for the fact that the two had no similarities in their faces, Gillard almost thought it was a father-son game.

Although card games are suitable for all ages, it is the first time that Gillard has seen a good player who is as old as before.

Gillard stood beside for a long time. The middle-aged man mistakenly thought he was coming to find the little player opposite and smiled and said, "Hey, man, don't lose your temper with the child. This thing is fun and hilarious. Do you want to try it?"

"By the way, let's meet me, my name is Jack, Jack Parsons!"

Gillard was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "My name is Gillard..."

An hour later, Gillard, who had become familiar with Jack and had borrowed other people's decks to play several games, left the "Magic House".

...

On the other hand, although he knew Gillard was here today, Evan did not go to pick him up, and he was not going to attend the subsequent events, but stayed at the Friesman House for a day with Audrey.

After finishing his short stage career, Audrey, who returned to school, was lost for a long time.

If you can’t perform on stage, what jobs should you do and what majors you study? Is it necessary to continue the current dance major?

Faced with these questions, Audrey was unable to come up with an answer or make a decision.

Evan, who had been prepared for Audrey's troubles, would naturally not notice it. In order to help resolve them, Evan spent several weeks in a row, and worked with Audrey on weekends to discuss which major or profession she liked.

Evan once suggested that Audrey learn art. Audrey likes to draw oil paintings, and becoming a painter is also a good choice, but Audrey shook her head and didn't choose this because she is self-aware and has not had a high talent in painting.

Afterwards, Evan made suggestions such as learning music, literature, and economics, but Audrey was either not interested or could not learn it. In the end, Evan had to put forward the proposal of fashion designers. Like Evan's premonition, Audrey was indeed very interested in this profession.

Since Audrey was interested, Evan took her to Friesman House to let her actually experience the work of a fashion designer.

Although Old Friesman is a tailor, it is still a certain difference from a real fashion designer. But after all, he has a lot of experience in the clothing industry and can teach Audrey a lot.
