After walking with his wife and children, Link went to the study.

He picked up the phone, dialed Fan Zhongkun's phone, and chatted for a while. Chatting, chatting Fan Zhongkun couldn't help but talk about this year's Blue Lagoon wine.

Every year, Fan's Chinese Restaurant gets the right to sell the latest vintage of Blue Lagoon wines. This is also one of the reasons why Link called Fan Zhongkun. Of course, he made this call for a more important reason.

"Yes, I was worried that the Truss wine would have an impact on the Blue Lagoon grapes. But now it seems that my worries are unfounded. My people have found that the wine made from Truss grapes has spoiled into vinegar. Even those brewed at Bell Farms are no exception. ”

Fan Zhongkun was taken aback when he heard the news and asked, "Is this true?"

"Can't be wrong. My intelligence network has never given me the wrong information!"

"That's a big deal. Fan Zhongkun was stunned for a moment and said with a smile. "I wonder if the price of wine will increase this year!"

Link smiled and comforted, "Probably not." Although there are some wineries that grow Truss grapes, after all, there are not many of them, especially the Truss grapes harvested last year are good. It shouldn't have much of an impact on California's wine production. ”

Fan Zhongkun said a little absent-mindedly: "I hope that's the case." He paused and said. "Sorry Link, I got a call. If there's nothing else to do, I'll hang up first. ”

"Good. We'll talk next time!"

After Fan Zhongkun hung up the phone, he immediately called his daughter: "Shirley, is there something wrong with the Truss grapes made by Bespage?"

Bespage Merrick is already the fiancé of Fan Xueli, and the two have decided to get married in June this year.

Besper Merrick has a winery, and he grows half of the Truss grapes.

Terras grape seedlings are not cheap. Bespage Merrick bought it with a loan. If something goes wrong with those grapes, he might go bankrupt.

He had no way to dissuade Besper Merrick from planting those grapes before, because the other party was just Fan Shirley's boyfriend. And even if he becomes his son-in-law, he can't interfere in the other party's business.

It's just that now Link suddenly called and said that there was something wrong with the wine made by Truss grapes. Bespage Merrick's loss may affect Fan Xueli's happiness, and he can't help but ask.

And he now thinks that Link made that call to himself, asking him to tell Bethpage Merrick about it. Regardless of whether Link is using him or something, the most important thing now is to confirm whether his future son-in-law will have any losses, and whether the losses can be made up.

Fan Xueli didn't expect her father to suddenly ask this question. She hesitated, but finally told the truth. She said into the phone, "Dad, how do you know?"

"Don't ask me how I know. Is Bespegg's loss big?"

"If he doesn't get compensation, he will lose at least three million dollars. Fan Xueli didn't want her father to worry about her fiancé, she comforted. "But don't worry, Dad. Bespage said Luke Truss had promised compensation, but it would have to wait until October. Wait for the sale of the wine at Bell Farms. ”

"You tell him. If compensation can be claimed, file a claim as soon as possible. The wine at Bell Farm was also out of order!"

Three million dollars is not a lot in the super-rich who are used to seeing billions of dollars. But for the average person, that's already a very large sum of money. Even for some elite white-collar workers, it takes five or six years or even more than ten years to earn.

There are three million dollars, and in the United States it is a millionaire. Banks will open the door for you.

Although Bespage Merrick runs this winery, Fan Zhongkun can be sure that if Bespage Merrick loses three million dollars, the winery will no longer belong to him, and he will also owe a large amount of money to the bank.

Wealthy people can get the bank to open the door conveniently. In negative equity, you won't even be able to find the bank window.

When Fan Xueli heard the news, she asked urgently, "Dad, what you said is true, where did you get the news?"

Fan Zhongkun lowered his voice and said, "It was Lin Ke who specially called me to tell me!"

"Will he be ......?"

Fan Shirley wanted to say if Link would be a blow to Truss's reputation. But when I think about my fiancé's winery, something really went wrong. She came to her senses immediately.

She and Bespage Merrick also considered whether Bell Farms' wines could go wrong too. However, Luke Truss signed a letter of commitment, and they also tasted the wine being made at Bell Farms. Although the taste is not quite right, Bespage Merrick thinks it is the normal taste of a wine in progress. That gave them a glimmer of hope. They prefer to believe that the wines from Bell Farms are good. Because if there is a problem with the wine at Bell Farms, then Luke Truss will not have the money to compensate them for the wineries that bought the Truss grapes.

She figured out what it was and immediately said, "I'll call Bethpage!"

And Luke Truss, who is far away in Nevada, is getting more and more agitated these days.

He had already called the trading company with which he had signed the contract no less than ten times, wanting to contact China Sheng, and even claimed that there were some doubts about the contract and that he needed to talk to China Sheng in person. China Sheng didn't reply to him on the phone.

The more he thought about it now, the more uneasy he became, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Now he doesn't go into the vineyard anymore. In the past, when he saw those grapes, it was like looking at gold, how lovely they were. And now, those green leaves looked like demonic vines that could drag him to hell at any moment.

He was waiting for a call from John Malone. As soon as the phone rang, he didn't even pay attention to the number he called, and directly connected: "Hello." ”

"Mr. Truss, this is Bespage Merrick, we were in touch more than a month ago and we signed a compensation agreement. ”

Luke Truss chuckled in his heart. He replied enthusiastically, "Ah, hello! Mr. Merrick." My friend, you call me, is there anything wrong?"

Bespage Merrick called to ask him to compensate for his losses immediately: "Mr. Truss, because of your grape seedlings, I have lost $3.57 million. But now you only need to pay me three and a half million dollars. You only have six hours, if after six hours I don't get a transfer confirmation call from the bank. You know for sure what's going to happen next. ”

Luke Truss forced himself to calm down and said: "Mr. Merrick, we have an agreement, and I think we had better follow it." Of course, I will compensate you for your losses. But that will have to wait until October. You know that the wines of Bell Farms will be sold at that time. They are worth more than two billion dollars, and one Chinese will buy them all. Only in October will I have a way to make up for your losses. Otherwise, even if I go bankrupt, I won't be able to meet your demands. ”

"Yes, I sincerely wish the wines of Bell Farms to be in good condition. But I'm not going to wait until October. Now that you have a way of convincing John Malone to make wines that aren't even vinegar, three and a half million dollars won't be a problem. I'll wait for a call from the bank. Bespage Merrick said unceremoniously. "Mr. Truss, I think you're going to be busier next. I won't say more. Also, I remind you again: you have only six hours. ”

Bespage Merrick hung up the phone straight after speaking.

Luke Truss realizes that he is in big trouble.

What Bethpage Merrick said on the phone was clearly that he already knew that Bell Farms had screwed up the winemaking process.

Not many people bought Truss grapes in the beginning, and there were only a few wineries that were able to make wine last year. So he had a way to cover the mouths of those customers one by one temporarily.

The Blue Lagoon grapes he bought were mixed with some grape juice and brought to the people to taste, claiming to be wine made at Bell Farms. Then he succeeded in convincing the victims that his wine was bad because the soil was not right.

But the call from Bespage Merrick just now made Luke Truss understand that at least Bespage Merrick already knew that there was something wrong with the wine at Bell Farms.

He didn't know how many people would know about it next.

But, at best, only Bespage Merrick knows. If that's the case, he can continue to drag on as long as he covers the other person's mouth.

He didn't even dare tell John Malone about it. So he and his partner Hull Donald squeezed out $3.5 million to pay Bespage Merrick.

After that, he remained nervous, as if waiting for the outcome of the trial.

Until noon the next day, things did not deteriorate as he feared. This made him feel a little more relaxed, but soon, he realized that he had relaxed too soon.

In the afternoon, he received two deliveries at the same time. The courier is sent by the trading company that is the first party of the wine sales contract.

One is a notification letter that China Sheng has sold the company to Link Hans. A copy of the lawyer's letter was attached to the notification letter: Link Hans was also subject to the obligations and powers of China Sheng in the wine sales contract with them.

Another courier is a formal request from the trading company to inspect the wines of Bell Farms.

Three hours before Luke Truss received two deliveries, Link answered a phone call. The call was made by Fan Zhongkun.

Fan Zhongkun called specifically to thank you.

If he and Bespage Merrick still had a trace of suspicion about Link's intelligence before, when Luke Truss really paid the money within six hours, they only had gratitude for Link in their hearts.

Link laughed and hung up. He's actually trying to find out if there's something wrong with Bell Farms' wines.

Although Douglas found out the information, it was proved that the small wineries that grow Truss grapes had problems. But he had to make sure that the wine on Bell Farm was and that something was wrong.

And now he got the exact answer.

He made a phone call and said, "Amanda, the news is ready to go live!"

After calling Amanda, he made the same call to Catherine, saying the same thing.

Online news is the fastest timeliness. As long as you type it and upload it to the Internet, it will immediately give everyone a chance to see it.

Although Amanda's news network is a video broadcast, she gave the videos a relatively appalling title: "The Joke of the Century?
