Money is a good thing, and under normal circumstances, no one will think it is too much.

With Carl taking the lead, Wells, Carlson, and even Vadak, behind him, all brought exaggerated rhetoric when introducing next year's plan. Either talk about how important this plan is, if it brings huge rewards for its function, or it is very difficult but very important.

All in all, we need support.

Of course Evan would not not understand this way of asking for money. He even felt a little missed when he listened to the speech at the meeting, which reminded him of his experience when he applied for funding for the project.

Of course, nostalgia is nostalgia, Evan understands their approach, but will not let it go.

Evan has absolute power to allocate funds, but he alone cannot use funds efficiently.

Therefore, Evan can only release this power and let the entire council take over. The applicants who apply for funds not only need to convince Evan, but also his competitors, that is, to make his plan recognized by the majority of the council directors.

The board of directors was very lively around the 20 million all afternoon. The directors came and went back and forth, argued, and sometimes they had to slap each other on the table and stared at each other.

No one will easily make concessions in disputes of interests.

Of course, Evan, who serves as a coordinator and plays a buffering role, is not very intense in this quarrel, and it will not hurt the harmony.

After an afternoon of "negotiation", as the funds were allocated, the work plan and main goals for each section of the Warren Department were also set.

Let's briefly talk about it one by one.

First of all, Magic Seven Company, its primary task is to ensure smooth listing. This is the top priority. Although Evan does not think there will be problems, he cannot be taken lightly. Because the success of its financing is not only related to Wall Street, but also to the development of other companies in the coming year. After listing, Magic Seven Company needs to prepare for the arrangement of the funds raised. After all, after becoming a listed public company, how the funds raised should be used must be supervised. Only by doing this can Davidson put his energy into the plans he has formulated for the company.

After Moqi Company, it was Applied Healthcare Company, which received a "subsidy" of $5 million. This money will be used to support it in developing Pampers and patent medicine markets, improving its own sales system, and the development and growth of its own research institutes. The latter two are particularly valued. Needless to say, the importance of the research institute is that as the company enters the patent medicine market, it will inevitably compete with other peers in the future, and even its partner Johnson & Johnson is no exception. In this case, Applied Healthcare Company will naturally not let the sales channels be mastered by others, and breaking up with Johnson & Johnson will become a matter of time sooner or later. Moreover, sales in the pharmaceutical industry are very special, completely different from ordinary products, such as electrical appliances, so Carl can only build independently and cannot adopt a resource sharing strategy in sales channels like Moqi Company and Applied Physical Systems Company.

Next is the Applied Physical Systems Company. Because of the outbreak of the TV market, it has already gained a foothold in the household appliance industry. Based on revenue (non-profit), Applied Physical Systems Company is now the fourth in the household appliance industry, ranking only after General Electric, RCA (main products, radio, TV, etc.), Wheelpool (main products, washing machines, refrigerators, etc.), before Dumont, Emerson (main products, electric fans, etc.), and Motorola. Of course, if you compare net profit and assets, Applied Physical Systems Company is far away.

Not as good as these old-fashioned companies. Moreover, although it is now popular, it actually faces a lot of competition. Of course, those who find that the TV industry have great potential are not only application physical system companies. Since SONY went public, in addition to those pioneers, more than 12 different brands of different sizes have emerged in the US market so far. Unlike China in the Internet era, after discovering the trend, countless monsters and monsters rushed forward. At this time, most of the people involved in the competition in the TV industry were electrical appliances such as Philco, which had previously had experience in radio manufacturing.

In the electrical appliance industry, they are not newbies, but are just applied physical systems companies. Therefore, although application physical systems companies are now the dominant one, it does not mean that the current pattern will not change. Therefore, in order to stabilize the advantages, consolidate the foundation, and even go further, the company must increase investment in marketing, production, and R&D. As the general manager, Wells, as the general manager, declined, and in order not to let the company fall into an unfavorable situation of relying on a single product, he is ready to continue to expand his product line. For the choice of new products, Wells has two plans, one is

Digging deep potential in the original kitchen appliances is to explore new areas. As for which field, it has not been decided yet, but Evan gave two suggestions for his reference, one is a radio, and the other is a white appliance such as a washing machine or refrigerator. The former is also available for TVs, and can cooperate with applied semiconductors to open up commercial value for germanium transistors. The latter is more difficult because the industry is already very mature. Even Evan can only make suggestions in industrial design and cannot easily gain a foothold like a TV.

In addition to the above, Applied Physics Systems has another plan - output technology and the establishment of production bases overseas, which has been particularly concerned by Evan. This plan originated from a patent transfer application filed by a company from Japan to Applied Physics Systems. The company is called Tokyo Communications Industry Co., Ltd.

Because of the Peninsula War that broke out some time ago, Japan was lifted out of blockade and was strongly supported by the United States, becoming the backbone of the United States. After the blockade was lifted, Tokyo Communications Industry sent its employees to the United States to inspect the market and collect various information. The main business was to build radios. They originally came to inspect the US radio market, but the first thing that attracted the attention of the company's inspector, Akio Morita, was that the rice cooker that was basically sold in electrical appliance stores in Chinatown was mainly sold.

As a yellow man with rice as the main food, Akio Morita saw the potential of the rice cooker at a glance. After investigation, he found that the sales of this SONY brand rice cooker were not ideal, Akio Morita boldly changed his attention temporarily and came to Los Angeles to find the headquarters of Appliance Physics Company, trying to buy patents related to the rice cooker.

The price he offered is not low.

When Akio Morita thought that the United States would make him get a bargain for the sake of stop loss, he accidentally touched the dust.

When Akio Morita came to the door, Wells was indeed moved, but whoever asked the rice cooker to be made by Evant, unless he nodded, would dare to sell him?

Of course, Wells didn't dare to sell it, but after communicating with Akio Morita and adding Evan's previous suggestions, he proposed a plan: he wanted to establish a production base in Japan and use rice cooker technology as bait to persuade Akio Morita to become a partner.

After Wells reported this plan to Evan, he naturally would not object, as he was preparing to make plans in Japan.
