Hysteria was actually a mental illness too.
Mental illnesses had always been the most troublesome for humans.
Even Chen Zhao was often helpless when it came to mental illnesses, especially children.
This was especially true for children. Children's minds were very active, and because they didn't have a complete world view, they often made some unrealistic fantasies.
However, adults often didn't approve of these fantasies. Children would become autistic or even depressed.
Mental illnesses mostly required communication and companionship.
"Gaia, spend more time with Evans. If you don't have time, let the child stay at the headquarters. Of course, it's fine if he goes to kindergarten with children of the same age. Anyway, he needs company. Try not to let Evans be alone. Also, if Evans says that he saw something, don't deny it, regardless of whether you saw it or not."
"Chen, is Evans's condition serious?"
"Actually, children's minds are the most active when they're five to ten years old. Their brains start to accept large amounts of knowledge, so it's natural for children to fantasize. After this age, children's psychology will gradually mature and their worldview will become complete. They'll gradually forget those unrealistic fantasies. Both fantasies and hysteria only happen when children are lonely. As long as there's company, they won't think too much. Also, we can't be completely sure that Evans is hysteria. It might be something we don't know yet."
Gaia looked at Evans from afar. Evans was playing with Rupert at the moment.
Right now, Evans didn't seem to have any problems at all.
It wasn't that Evans would definitely develop autism or depression.
Actually, hysteria was a common mental illness for children.
The best treatment for hysteria was companionship. One couldn't use a forceful attitude to deny or correct it.
Children believed that what they saw was the truth, even if it was just their imagination.
"Do you want to see a psychologist?"
"You can see a psychiatrist, but you can't go to a hospital that's too obvious. Children are very resistant to hospitals. Once they find out that they're sent to a hospital, they'll be very sensitive to the fact that they're sick. By the way, I know a psychiatrist. She's also involved in some supernatural incidents. I can make an appointment with her and ask her to come to the headquarters to give Evans psychological counseling."
"I think you can do psychological counseling." Gaia trusted him more.
"I know this theoretical knowledge. I've been exposed to such topics in school, but I'm not a professional. Professional matters should be left to the professionals."
"Okay, make an appointment with that psychologist." Gaia had absolute trust in Chen Zhao. "I plan to move to the headquarters."
After all, Gaia had her own job, and she was willing to give it up for Evans.
However, she was more happy to have the best of both worlds.
There was definitely no shortage of people in the headquarters, and most of the people in the headquarters were quite optimistic.
Even the gloomy Helios was a girl with a soft heart.
And the people here are not prejudiced.
In addition, the environment here was good, so Gaia was willing to let Evans live here.
Even if Evans had to come into contact with some firearms, as long as Evans's physical and mental health could be improved, it didn't matter.
In the afternoon, Chen Zhao received a call from Denver, asking him to return to Mountain Town. He had something to discuss.
Not only did Denver invite Chen Zhao, but also Dean Slott.
When Chen Zhao saw Dean Slott, he took the initiative to congratulate him. "Dean, congratulations. You've been recognized by the townspeople again."
To be honest, Chen Zhao was not surprised at all that Dean Slott had become the mayor again.
It could be seen from the way the new mayor governed Mountain Town that he didn't have any management talent or political ability. It was impossible for him to defeat the old fox, Dean Slote, with such a standard.
Even when Deon Slote stirred up trouble in the town, the new mayor did not react in time.
By the time he found out, Dean Slott had already chased him out of office.
"Ha … Chen, you're joking. I have to thank you. Without your support, I wouldn't have been able to stay as mayor for long."
Dean Slott had promised to rebuild the brewery in three months.
If he could not rebuild it in three months, he would probably become the shortest mayor in Mountain Town's history.
"That's why I'm here to talk about rebuilding the brewery."
"I don't think we have any objections to rebuilding the brewery, right?" Dean Slott asked.
"Indeed." Chen Zhao nodded. At the same time, he glanced at Denver. "We just need to discuss some details."
"Chen, what details do you not understand?"
"The first is the ownership of the brand," Denver said.
"Chen, do you want to take the old brand for yourself?"
"Not take it for myself. I want to buy it. I hope that there won't be any trademark disputes in the future. You know that trademark disputes are usually caused by multiple owners, so I hope that we can clarify the ownership of the trademark."
"How much do you want to buy it for?" Dean Slott asked.
"Five hundred thousand," Denver said, picking up where Chen left off.
"That's impossible. The original Mountain Beer's annual turnover is more than 10 million USD, and the annual profit is also more than 2 million USD. You want to buy this trademark with just 500,000 USD? That's impossible." Deon Slote's reaction was very strong.
Even Chen Zhao felt that Denver's price was too low. But that was how business was. It was like bargaining in a market.
One side would ask for a sky-high price, while the other side would bargain.
"Chen, Mr. Denver, actually, there's nothing wrong with joint ownership of the trademark. You don't have to spend a single cent to own and use the trademark. I can also promise that I won't interfere with the production and operation of the brewery."
Denver did not believe this. Chen Zhao would not believe it either.
If the trademark was in someone else's hands, it was like their lifeline was in someone else's hands.
If the trademark did not increase its value and earn a few million dollars a year, the Mountain Town government might not take it seriously.
But what if the trademark's value increased by ten times? What if it increased by a hundred times?
By then, the Mountain Town government would demand a hefty fee for using the trademark.
If the two sides could not reach an agreement, even if Mountain Town only owned 50% of the trademark, they could still force the brewery to stop production. The trademark could only be sold with 100% rights.
