Things in the world are so coincidental. Rick, the Taft, is really the Taft that Evan thought of, William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States of America (this guy also became the chief justice after resigning as president), as well as the Taft family who are important positions such as Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Congressman. The most prominent figure in the Taft family is Robert Taft, who serves as chairman of the Labor-Management Relations Committee in the Senate. He is the eldest son of former President William and a representative of the current Republican conservatives. The leader of the Senate Majority Party, and is known as the "Mr. Republican".

The Rick, who was pulling Evan and drinking in secret in violation of federal laws, is the fifth son of "Mr. Republican".

After Rick revealed Evan's identity in one sentence, he revealed himself to prevent Evan from having a misunderstanding.

Looking at the son of the aristocratic family who was more advanced than his family in front of him, Evan was speechless.

"Evan, don't think about those who have nothing, come and drink!"

Under Rick's persuasion, Evan took a sip of red wine that he could not name, thinking that with this guy here, he would probably not be able to calm down in the future.

...

In the new semester, Evan will be busier than the previous semester. In order to make it easier for him, Evan wants to apply for some courses without taking.

Evan's request was supported by Dean Dubridge, and his level was there, so he easily got the free credits he wanted.

Of course, Evan applied for exemption from taking some courses that seemed insignificant to him. He didn't even have any thoughts about classes like "Theoretical Physics".

Because of Professor Carl Anderson's business trip, the second week of the "Theoretical Physics" class this semester officially began.

The first week of class is self-study.

Rick is also in this class.

Although he majored in mathematics, he took many courses in physics and chemistry. It is not strange that he can take courses closely related to mathematics, such as theoretical physics, which is closely related to mathematics.

"Hi, Evan!"

Seeing Evan sitting in the first row, Rick greeted him and then sat down next to him naturally.

Not long after, Professor Carl Anderson walked into the classroom, followed by his assistant, his doctoral student Donald.

One and a half hours later, the course ends.

Amid the gaze of worshipful eyes, Evan left the classroom.

During the class just now, Professor Anderson asked Evan from time to time, and the questions asked were more and more difficult, as if they were to stump him. But Evan answered every question so well that a good class almost became a communication between them, teachers and students alone.

Not long after walking out of the classroom, Rick caught up. Professor Anderson's attitude towards Evan was obviously a bit abnormal, and he was very curious.

"Professor Evan, Professor Anderson seems to value you very much, and he only focuses on you when asking questions."

"No, Rick, the professor just wanted to hit me at first."

Rick asked, "Why? Where did you offend him?"

Evan said calmly: "It's not considered offending him, it's just that he didn't agree to be his student."

Rick was stunned for a moment. It was easy for people of their level to find a good mentor, but it was not something that ordinary people could do if they simply rejected a Nobel Prize-level giant.

After a moment of confusion, Evan took several steps and Rick quickly followed.

Such a willful and outstanding person, who is qualified to be my friend of Rick.

...

Ingwood, ACAH.

Alex Hoffman, product manager of Johnson & Johnson's consumer health department, visited the door for the second time with his assistant.

Carl treated him with courtesy and sat opposite each other in his office.

Hoffman held a cigar in his hand and put it under his nose to smell it. He crossed his legs and was arrogant.

After some irrelevant social rhetoric, Hoffman finally understood what Carl knew about his purpose.

"Mr. Carl, have you considered the matter of Band-Aid?"

"I heard that your factory in Wilmington has been completed. Should I wait for the machines and workers to enter the factory next?"

Carl replied with a smile: "Mr. Hoffman, I really didn't expect your news to be so well-informed!"

"This little thing really has such great value, and it deserves your attention?"

Hoffman put the cigar back into the box, put down his raised legs, crossed his hands and looked at Carl, and said, "I know its value, and you know it too."

"Otherwise, you won't be impressed after I quoted this price."

"So, Carl, you don't have to hide it anymore. Tell me, what's your decision?"

Hoffman didn't want to deal with Carl endlessly. He wanted to get a clear answer whether to sell or not.

Carl thought for a while and replied: "I thank Mr. Hoffman for his value, but please forgive me for not being able to agree to your acquisition request, so I'm sorry..."

Hoffman did not show any strange expression when he heard this. Carl's decision was normal, and it would be the same if it were him.

After contacting several people related to ACAH, Hoffman no longer had hope for the complete acquisition of the Band-Aid patent.

Therefore, Hoffman changed his original plan.

Hoffman nodded and said in a business tone: "Carl, don't be sorry, I understand your decision very well."

"However, since the acquisition cannot be achieved, I wonder if Carl is still interested in cooperating with us Johnson & Johnson?"

"Cooperation?" Carl was a little surprised and asked with interest: "What kind of cooperation method?"

Hoffman said: "Any product is always sold when it is produced. You are just a startup company, and I think there is definitely no suitable sales channel."

"Building your own channels is a time-consuming and laborious job, and Carl must be very clear about this."

"And we, Johnson and Johnson, have the strength in the channel. Since Carl has devoted himself to this industry, he should not be unaware of it."

"So, what I mean by cooperation is that our company is willing to provide sales channels so that your products can spread to every hospital in the United States as quickly as possible. There is no need to worry about channel fees, which is definitely a price that both of us can accept."

The conditions given by Hoffman were very favorable. To be honest, Carl was really moved, but he knew that Hoffman had not finished speaking, so after Hoffman finished speaking, he asked: "Where are the conditions?"

Hoffman stated the conditions attached to the cooperation: "As long as ACAH accepts Johnson & Johnson's investment, it's fine."

"US$1 million, accounting for 30% of the shares, Johnson & Johnson has the corresponding rights as shareholders, including the dispatched directors and financial auditors."

Carl narrowed his eyes and couldn't force the acquisition. Will he change to boil the frog in warm water...

Hoffman stared at Carl for a while and asked, "What are the conditions? Carl!"
Chapter completed!
