Three hundred and fortieth chapters trip to New York (1)
For Roy and his work, all the companies on the audit list were concerned about it, especially after the first Xerox company to be audited failed to resist negatively.
On the Saturday afternoon when Xerox's audit report was released, most of the directors and alternate directors of the Warren Council, including Chester Carlson and Joe Wells, gathered at the Gangkong Ranch Park Golf Course. A few directors such as Carl Patton and Joe Gillard were absent because they accompanied Chairman Evan to New York to attend the listing ceremony of Magic Seven in the early month, and are still on Wall Street.
Due to the venue equipment, outdoor sports such as golf have always been exclusive to people with leisure and wealthy. It has both sports and social factors, and can be said to be one of the essential skills for upper-class people.
Due to the climate, Los Angeles can be evergreen in lawns all year round. With Hollywood presence and abundant customer base, it quickly became one of the best golf destinations in the world.
Ranch Park Golf Club is one of the oldest golf courses in Los Angeles. It was opened in 1921 and covers an area of more than 180 acres. It is located in Century City, very close to Beverly Hills.
Because of the beautiful environment and the right distance, this place is one of the common places for the Warren Council.
Half an hour after the opening, Chester Wells and his group were walking on the lawn near the fifth hole. The group was quite large, each holding a club, and the caddie following behind him with a club bag on his back. Seeing the huge group, it was very eye-catching.
This gave the party convener Joe Wells a little headache after discovering it.
It is so eye-catching that they can exchange experiences with Chester in a low-key manner.
There was no way. Before the eighteen holes were halfway through, Wells made an excuse, pulled a few important figures out, left the venue first, and went to the hotel on the sidelines to rest.
Of course, it is actually not much different from holding a high-level meeting. It’s just that the theme of the meeting is not ordinary company affairs, but a pre-exam Q&A meeting with Chester Carlson as the teacher.
Because I asked Roy's attitude in advance, Chester Carlson can be said to have questions and answers.
This made Joe Wells and others, who were asked questions by students, very grateful and grateful.
Carlson, thank you so much today. With your guidance, we can save a lot of trouble and will also look better in the report in the future.
Carlson, to express his gratitude, go to Hollywood Avenue to relax together at night, how about?
After the Q&A was over, Chester Carlson did not take credit for his colleagues’ gratitude, but said frankly: You don’t need to do this, I just did what I should do.
To be honest, byiss, we were the first to be audited. I was very unhappy at first. Now after seeing the report, I can say that I am ashamed and can only try my best to make up for it and fully cooperate with the measures implemented by Evan.
Dear colleagues, Evan has said more than once that he should aim at the ‘consortium’. I don’t know how you think, at least I am willing to contribute to it.
So, there is no need to thank or reward. Let’s encourage each other, how about it?
After hearing this, everyone said yes in unison after a brief silence.
As for how many of them are sincere and how many are going with the flow, I don’t know.
But Vadak, who attended the meeting, silently recorded the changes in expressions of the people in detail.
On the same day, New York.
It was three hours earlier than Los Angeles. When Los Angeles was still shrouded in the sunset, New York was already brightly lit.
Manhattan, Rockefeller Center, Rainbow Restaurant.
Evan, Carl, Linda, Davidson, Joe Gillard, Allen Granmore (Editor-in-Chief of the Press), Virginia, Isaac Fields sat around the table.
There are only fruits, desserts and wine glasses on the table. The dishes have been ordered and have not been served yet.
Except for Alan Granmo who works in New York, everyone else came from California last month.
Today we have dinner here, but Alan Granmore is giving away everyone, because Evan and his group have already handled their affairs and are preparing to return to California.
On the first day of this month (February 1951), Magic Seven Company logged into the New York Stock Exchange, and IPyi issued a price of US$5 per share, with a total of 12 million new shares. On the day of listing, the share price of Magic Seven Company rose by 5.8 overall from US$5.1 at the opening to US$5.4 at the close, making the company's total market value reach US$324 million. This result is OK overall, at least outperforming the market, but for those Wall Street practitioners who have high expectations for Magic Seven Company, they were a little disappointed. However, in the following trading days, the stock of Magic Seven Company somehow attracted the attention of many stock traders, with trading volume increasing continuously, and the stock price also grew little by little. So, the originally disappointed person immediately became happy.
The company became a star stock on the New York Stock Exchange, which is naturally a blessing for the management of companies such as Davidson. Therefore, in these days in New York, Davidson and others have also become lively figures, with invitations to party and interview applications from media and newspapers one after another, and they are so busy that they are extremely busy.
But Evan Warren, the founder and real controller of the company, was unexpectedly not surrounded by the media, and there was no word in either newspapers or radio.
This situation looks weird but satisfying Evan Warren. I have to say that Wall Street's control over the media is amazing.
This is also the reason why Evan agreed to someone on Wall Street to come to New York specifically.
During the two weeks in Manhattan, not only Davidson and the others were busy, but Evan was not idle either. Davidson needed to deal with the affairs of the company and social fields at the same time, and Evan, who is his boss, was no exception. The difference is that the person Evan faced was more high-end.
In the past two weeks, Evan first attended the shareholder reception of JP Morgan Bank. Then, led by Francis Morgan (son of Henry Morgan), he attended several club or private dinners, almost knowing the successors of major Wall Street forces. At the same time, Evan also had a long conversation with Henry Morgan at the family estate. Only a few people knew what they had discussed.
In addition to this kind of social activities, Evan also took time to inspect the New York divisions of his companies, and spent particularly long time in the publishing house where Alan Granmo was in charge.
When Evan thought of accidentally touching his sister Virginia at the publishing house, he couldn't help but rub his temples with headaches, and looked at his sister and Fields who were talking in a low voice.
Alas, I don’t know how Nina will criticize me after hearing that she asked Virginia to enter the publishing house?
