Linda and Elizabeth looked at each other, and Virginia pretended to be calm.

After a moment, before the two of them focused their eyes on her, Virginia put a piece of bread into her mouth expressionlessly.

"I'll eat it, you guys continue."

Get up, put away the bowl, and disappear.

Linda blinked, looked at Elizabeth and asked, "This is a runaway, right?"

Elizabeth nodded and said, "This is called self-inducing."

Not long after, the sound of three girls fighting sounded inside the house.

"Gina, honestly, is that person?"

"I won't say it, hahaha, I won't say it..."

"I advise you not to resist stubbornly, look at me, tickling and attacking..."

"Don't...well..."

The fight lasted for half an hour. If it weren't for going out on the street, the three of them would probably have been endless.

When they finished their riots and were ready to walk out of the door with a warm coat, their faces were filled with rosy representing vitality.

Women are born to love shopping, just as women are born to love beauty.

Men shop for practical purposes, but women are not.

They are looking for beauty, so they can tirelessly browse all the shops in their sight before finally deciding what to buy.

Therefore, their shopping trips are usually time-consuming.

Evan, who knew this well, had a free time for a whole day to buy gifts with Audrey.

At around 9 a.m., the two went out.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Audrey finally bought everything she wanted and set off home.

During this eight hours, apart from the lunch break, the two went to the commercial streets in three places, walked several kilometers, and entered and exited hundreds of clothing stores, art shops, craft shops, jewelry stores, and galleries.

It took so much time to buy not much: a tie for Joseph; three pieces of not expensive jewelry for Evan's sisters; a pocket watch for Evan's younger brother Robert; a ladies' wallet for Nina; a box of cigars for Earl.

Everyone has it, but Evan's.

As soon as I got home, I was weak all over and collapsed on the sofa and said, "No one is mine...no one is mine..."

Audrey turned a blind eye, put the box bag containing the gifts into the room, and entered the kitchen in high spirits.

Evan opened his mouth and touched his sore and weak thighs, and almost sighed: "Are women all monsters?"

The next day, Evan came to the company.

This will be his last visit to the company this year, and the next time will be 1949 in the following year.

At the morning meeting held as usual, after listening to the briefings of the various responsible persons, Evan did not immediately announce the end of the meeting, but instead chatted with them for a while.

He first asked about the dinner of Carl, Wells and others, and then told him that he would go back to Sacramento tomorrow and start taking a Christmas holiday. Speaking of this, Evan felt a little embarrassed because various companies, especially Applied Physics Systems and Xerox, were at a critical moment, and everyone was busy, but the boss was on vacation.

Just let it go and share the joys and sorrows, but you can enjoy it?

Anyone will have an opinion.

Although everyone will not say this opinion openly, Evan feels that he still needs to comfort him.

Therefore, he decided to disclose the incentive plan that will be announced at the annual meeting of the "Warren Consortium" in advance next year.

"Everyone knows about the annual meeting of the consortium. This year, it won't be held because there are too many things. However, I want to talk about something first so that everyone can have a thought."

"Morning Seven Company is my first company. Carl, Davidson and others were the first people to follow me. Everyone knows that Morning Seven Company has implemented an option incentive plan."

"Everyone here should know what an option is. It is the benefit of the company's contribution to all executives. It can allow everyone to share their benefits from the company's development and be closer to the company. In short, in one sentence, it can make more money."

"Because of implementing this plan, even if the Magic Seven Company is gone, it is running smoothly now. This shows that it has achieved my intended purpose."

"So, next, I'm going to start implementing this plan in other companies... Well, Vidak, your ASCHE is an exception, but as compensation, you can choose stocks in other companies."

Hearing this, everyone present held their breath, which was both an accident and a surprise.

Only two people performed better. One was Carl. He knew Evan had this plan, so he was not surprised. The other was Gillard. He already had the stock of Magic Seven Company. He was also seconded from Magic Seven Company to the Applied Physical Systems Company and received Evan's promise to give the stocks of the company here. Therefore, Gujing Wubo performed the same.

As for Wells, Lewis, Bailey and others, they were so excited that they could not speak.

As a financial instrument, options are not new in the United States. As early as 1791, off-market stock option trading quickly became popular. However, option trading during this period was very irregular and easily related to insider trading. It was not until 1929 that after the establishment of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, options became more standardized. However, options became a way to motivate employees, but it was still new. Of course, it is not that there was no such practice, but that it was really rare, especially options for companies with excellent growth.

At this point in time, almost every business owner has compiled stocks tightly and will not share them with others. The concept of no one working if they don’t give stocks or options will not appear until Silicon Valley takes shape. Before that, the treatment of a company’s executive was not high, and the best thing was the financial industry on Wall Street, which could become partners and have the right to pay dividends.

In short, the option incentive plan thrown out by Evan has unexpectedly attractive.

Therefore, even Carlson, who already owns Xerox stocks, couldn't help but feel moved and asked, "Evan, can I enjoy this plan?"

Evan nodded: "Of course, you are the R&D director, so you are naturally qualified."

Carlson clenched his fists when he heard this.

Looking at the expressions of everyone's desire to speak, Evan said again: "Everyone will definitely find it strange. Why do I give such valuable company stocks to everyone? Well, I believe everyone will not think that I am exaggerating when I say that my company is very valuable..."

Everyone shook their heads together.

"That's good. Let everyone own the company's stocks. I want everyone to be on the same mind as the company and to exert higher subjective initiative. After all, if you have stocks, you may have a little less, but you can also be considered the owner of the company."

"I always think that serving others and serving yourself is completely different in terms of status and level of attentiveness."
