“Ha?Invest?”

Morris, the older brother of the MacDonald brothers, was surprised, "I said, young man, don't just come at a young age."

"If you want to come and visit, I may agree, but invest..."

Morris shook his head gently with a smile.

Evan asked: "Don't believe what I said?"

“Do I look like a liar?”

"That's not." Richard McDonald, a younger brother who is seven years younger than Morris, interjected. "You should be in the university library than we talk big here."

"Mr. Richard, it's summer vacation now, and college holidays are on." Evan said, "I only have high school education and are over 40 years old, looking at each other. They didn't guess that this was indeed a college student. Then Morris asked, "By the way, I've been chatting for so long, but I still don't know what your name is?"

"Sorry, it's my fault." Evan said: "My name is Evan Warren, you can call me Evan."

Richard asked: "Which university do you attend?"

Evan replied: "California Tech."

Richard said "Oh!"

Although he has never attended college, he still knows that California Tech in Los Angeles is a good school.

Morris said: "You just said you were interested in our model..."

Evan nodded: "That's right."

Morris asked: "How do you think it's good?"

Evan said: "I have just said that it has an industrial beauty. As for the specific advantages, I believe you know better than me... I think you have gained a lot since you adopted this model, right?"

"I've asked, although your store opened eight years ago (1940), it is currently operating last year, and just one year later, you decided to renovate it."

"I just looked at it. The focus of this renovation should be on the kitchen, right?"

Although Evan did not answer Morris's question positively, what he said made the MacDonald brothers unable to deny it.

"You are right. We changed the layout of the kitchen to assembly line, which can maximize efficiency and output." Richard said proudly.

Morris said: "Evan, you're amazing, you can see it at a glance."

"It is precisely because I understand that I want to invest in you." Evan accepted Morris' praise with serene satisfaction.

Morris said: "Evan, I have seen your vision. I know, you are certainly not an ordinary person."

"I don't doubt whether you have the ability to invest..."

"But... please don't blame me for being troublesome. You and I were still strangers before today. Please prove your identity and..."

"And my financial resources, right?" Evan asked.

"Yes!"

Evan touched his nose after hearing this and said, "It's simple to prove his identity."

"This is my driver's license..." As he said, Evan took out a business card-sized document and handed it to Morris, "It can prove that I am Evan Warren."

"As for financial resources, this is a little trouble. I am here to play with my sisters today. There is nothing that can prove financial resources when I carry with me."

Evan thought for a while and tried to ask, "Mr. Morris, does your family buy a TV?"

Morris shook his head and returned Evan's driver's license at the same time.

Evan asked again: "Do you know the Rubik's Cube?"

Morris didn't respond, Richard said: "I know, a new toy that I've seen others play with."

"That's my company's product," Evan said.

"But you haven't bought it, it's a pity."

Morris said in surprise: "You actually have your own company?"

"Yes!" Evan nodded, "But this also doesn't prove anything. After all, it may have been made up by me, well... let me think about it."

"By the way, do you have newspapers here? The Oakland Tribune or whatever California newspaper..."

Evan was halfway through his words, and suddenly remembered: "Ah, you are renovating, surely there is no..."

At this time, Morris smiled and said, "No, there are still newspapers, in the dining cart."

"Richard, go get it in."

Richard answered: "Okay."

After a while, Richard took a stack of newspapers from several issues from different newspapers. After Evan took them over, he searched them and put an article with photos in front of the MacDonald brothers.

The two brothers were very curious. What content in the newspaper could prove it to Evan?

The title of the article is: "Republican candidates gather in Chicago, 10,000 people."

What can this mean?

The two brothers were confused.

Evan pointed to one of the people in the photo and asked, "Does he... know?"

"Of course I know it," said Morris. "As the governor of California...Earl Warren."

Richard said: "Governor Warren, he was the one I voted for the year before yesterday."

Hum? Earl Warren?

Evan Warren?

Finally, the two brothers who thought of the key points looked at Evan in unison, then looked at the photos in the newspaper, and after comparing for a while, they showed an incredible expression.

Evan smiled and said, "You guys are right, Earl Warren is my father."

"Well, letting you know this has no other special meaning. I just think this can make you believe very quickly that I am not a liar."

"Uh...now, do you believe I have the strength to invest?"

Morris smiled bitterly and looked at his younger brother, then replied: "Of course."

"Very good." Evan continued, "Then, tell me what you think."

Morris thought for a while and asked, "How do you want to invest?"

Evan said: "Well, I have two solutions here."

"Plan 1: We jointly set up a company, and you invest in technology and management. If you want, this store can also be counted. You are responsible for the company's operations, and I hope to develop the store into a chain store model."

"Plan 2: I will buy out your operating model and brand."

These two solutions were temporarily considered by Evan, so what I said here is very brief.

"By the way, I will invest different funds in both options."

Richard asked, "How is it different?"

"I will invest $500,000 at one time in the former, increase the number of stores to ten within a year, and then decide whether to increase the capital again depending on the situation."

"For the latter, I hope to get the exclusive authorization. If the fee is paid, I will ask someone to negotiate with you."

"Which type do you want?"

Richard was about to answer, but saw Morris shook his head gently at him, so he kept silent.

Morris looked at Evan and replied, "Mr. Warren, thank you very much for your kindness, but I'm really sorry, this store does not belong to our brothers. I need to discuss with others before making a decision. Moreover, for a moment, we can't tell which solution is more suitable, so why don't we have another time to discuss it?"

Evan thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, to show sincerity, you can decide to contact me again."

"Bob, business card!"

Bob, who stood behind Evan like a stone statue throughout the whole process, finally had a movement, took out two business cards from his pocket and handed them to the MacDonald brothers.
