Chapter 86
Wells said: "Evan, the rice cooker is actually a good idea. We just need to expand its purpose and no longer limit it to rice, it will be accepted by most American families."
After Wells said this, Evan became interested.
"Oh? You can tell me in detail!"
"Evan, can I ask, do you like to eat beef stew?" Wells kept it a secret.
Evan said: "It's OK!"
"I like to eat beef and brisket. In my opinion, beef is one of the most beautiful foods in the world given by God." Wells said: "But Evan, you should know that long-term stewing is essential for beef to be good. Therefore, if a family wants to eat beef for dinner, the mother may have to start busy in the kitchen in the afternoon and cannot leave casually. This will inevitably squeeze her time to do other housework and even take care of her children."
"And if there is a stew pot that you can do without having to do with the ingredients after putting them in, I believe this mother would definitely like it!"
"Evan, what do you think?"
Evan recalled the few memories of Nina cooking in his mind, plus his own experience in cooking, and found that what Wells said was quite reasonable.
He nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Wells continued: "In my opinion, the design of the rice cooker can be used as a slow cooker with just a little modification."
"First of all, the temperature control device. The slow cooker needs to be kept at a certain suitable temperature for a long time. According to my personal experience, the temperature is about 65 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the thermal ferrite, as the core of the temperature control, needs to be changed accordingly."
"The second is the material of the container, which must be able to release any substances that are harmful to the body under long-term high temperatures and will not damage the taste of the food."
"About materials, we have discussed these options. The most common and lowest cost are aluminum and iron, plus one that is more troublesome and requires higher demands for one ceramic."
"Evan, we have made several design plans for the demand for slow cooker. Next, let's take a look at how these plans are?"
Wells is worthy of working at Philips for more than ten years and has a lot of experience. Under his guidance, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Evan put down his airs as a boss and discussed a new design plan with Wells and others.
However, Evan still did not give up on the rice cooker. He knew that the market for rice cookers would be launched ten years later and it is very inappropriate. But who made him the biggest user of the rice cooker?
Therefore, after affirming Wells' opinion, Evan asked him to organize the design of a model of rice cooker and produce a batch.
There is no need to be many.
It doesn't matter if it can't be sold.
Wells was surprised that the reason why Evan was so persistent about the rice cooker was that he needed to cook by himself.
He couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, he had thought of a countermeasure when he raised an objection, otherwise he would have to get out.
After finishing the discussion with the R&D department staff, Evan came out of the conference room, walked around the door twice, and walked towards the office area of the ACAH next door.
It was only less than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the ACAH office area was much more popular than APS.
Several young ladies were answering the phone and listening to the content, some of these people were coordinating resources with the factory construction party, while others were doing personnel reception.
When it comes to recruiting office clerks, Carl still follows his own aesthetics. Even if Evan warns him once, he doesn't want to betray himself.
Of course, Carl restrained a lot in his behavior. Otherwise Evan would not allow it.
Evan walked in the ACAH office area and no one came to stop him.
Everyone knows him and knows that this young man who is younger than the general manager is the boss of the company.
A blonde sister in a professional shirt walked opposite Evan. The moment she passed by Evan, the elder sister deliberately supported her bulging breasts.
Evan's eyes remained on it for a few frames without any trace, and then walked towards Carl's office without squinting.
Well... I have to say that Carl has a good vision in this regard...it is pleasing to the eye.
Without knocking, Evan pushed the door open and sat down on the leather sofa.
"Evan!" Carl heard the movement and was about to curse, but when he looked up, he saw that it was the boss, and quickly stopped the matter in his hand and greeted him:
"Why are you here for a while? Are you here to understand the factory progress? Wait a moment, I'll sort it out before reporting to you!"
Evan crossed his legs and turned a deaf ear to Carl's question. There was a Rubik's Cube on the coffee table in front of him, and he took it over.
Seeing this, Carl felt a little shocked: "Evan's expression is a bit bad. Did he know about Ginny and me?"
Just as Carl was uneasy, Evan asked while restoring the Rubik's Cube, "Carl, have you thought the rice cooker wouldn't work?"
Carl observed Evan's expression and thought about how to answer. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell the truth: "Yes, Evan."
"I don't think Americans will have a day when they suddenly fall in love with rice."
Evan said without raising his head, "I seem to have never heard you advise me. As an assistant, you seem to have neglected your duties!"
Carl said: "Evan, as an assistant, I did not speak out, and I did dereliction of duty. If you want to punish me, I won't have any complaints."
"But I think you will always understand the rice cooker. Even if I don't say it, it won't cause any actual losses."
"After all..." Carlton said this for a while, until Evan looked up at him, he continued, "After all, Evan, the rice cooker is not very important in your heart, isn't it?"
Evan looked at Carl with a smile and asked, "Are you so sure?"
Carl nodded firmly.
Comparing Chester's copier, isn't this obvious!
Carl said in his heart.
For the copier, Evan went to pick up people in person. The conditions in the laboratory were the best, and the treatment of personnel was the best. He even prepared to train the sales team and the skilled work team in advance.
On the other hand, there are not many rice cookers, and there is not much money for them. The importance they pay is probably not as good as ACAH.
Carl, who personally performed all this for Evan, could not understand where the rice cooker was in Evan's heart.
Seeing Carl so confident, Evan suddenly stopped the movements in his hand, and then left the office without saying anything.
Evan returned to the "hut in the forest", sat on the sofa, holding the Rubik's Cube that came from Carl's office in his right hand, and unconsciously tugging the block with his fingers.
Not long after, Audrey came back.
She recently rehearsed on Mr. Abbott's crew and she didn't come back every day.
Today I came back early.
Audrey took off her cold coat, exposed the black tight sweater inside, put on her furry slippers, and came to the living room. When she wanted to hang her coat on the hanger, she saw Evan sitting on the sofa in a daze, looking depressed, and she didn't even say hello to her when she came back. She immediately felt tight and sat next to Evan with her clothes in her arms.
"Evan, what's wrong?"
The moment she sat down, Evan realized that Audrey was back. He threw the Rubik's Cube on the sofa, his head slightly tilted, and his eyes met Audrey, who was full of worry in his eyes.
Evan held Audrey into her arms, put her chin on her shoulder, and asked softly: "Audrey, do you think the rice cooker can be sold?"
"Well..." Audrey pondered: "It should be possible..."
"I want to hear the truth!"
Audrey changed her words and said, "Probably...it can't be sold much..."
