Chapter 149: The relationship seems to be a little complicated
(The power went out for two hours in the afternoon, and the heat made three kilograms of sweat.) Now that the three watches are over, I ask for a subscription. )
The following text:
…………
Jessica stood up and snatched Hannah from Link's hand and held her in her arms, but the little one cried harder and louder.
She really felt like her eardrum was going to be perforated. But she still gently patted her and coaxed.
She yelled at Link, "How can you beat her, she's just a child, you can teach her well!"
Link already regretted it. He didn't hit Hannah just now because he was angry, but because he was scared. And it didn't take much effort to beat Hannah, and the little guy cried not necessarily because of pain, but because he felt wronged.
Now he was yelled at by Jessica, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Jessica saw some regret on his face, and stopped scolding her. Especially when she found out that Hannah didn't cry anymore.
She noticed that the little one, with a pair of big sky-blue eyes with teardrops, was staring at her dumbfoundedly, and occasionally hiccuped. She was simply cute by this little thing: "Hannah is good, with my sister in the future." Ignore your daddy. ”
Link reached out to hug his daughter, but little Hannah was held in his hands, but he twisted and stretched out his little hand to Jessica for her to hug.
Jessica proudly hugged her over and said, "Now your daughter belongs to me!"
Link laughed in his heart and said, "If you follow me home, she will give it to you." ”
Jessica blushed and glared at him as if she was going to be angry.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Link hurriedly said, "Don't you have something to tell me too?"
Jessica was a little confused by his suggestive words just now, and she was also relieved to hear his question, at least she didn't have to think about the topic she wasn't ready for just now.
She took the opportunity to reposition Hannah to clean up some of her wandering thoughts, and said: "I took advantage of the winter to study in several major wine-producing countries in the southern hemisphere. Although the production is not as large as that of the United States, South Africa, Australia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil are all major wine producers in the world. The quality and safety of the grapes are relatively high in wineries, and I think that if our products can prove their effectiveness, they can replace pesticides as the main means of grape pest control in the winemaking industry. ”
Link listened to this and knew that there was nothing wrong, but the key was how to prove the effect. Advertise? Or do you want to experiment: "And then?"
"There's a marketing approach in agriculture that looks for pilots. And look for the support of local associations. We can promote in this way by organizing seminars for potential customers and finding representative wineries for free trials. ”
"That's a way to do it. In addition, it can be promoted in conjunction with other advertisements. But how much money does that need? We don't have any revenue yet. ”
"Who said no. Mr. Link Hans has signed a contract with me worth more than a million dollars. Jessica said with a grin. "But you're right, the area under vine cultivation is not too large. And it's scattered. There are more than a dozen countries in the European Union with wineries, and the countries in the southern hemisphere mentioned above, as well as China, have developed into the world's top three wine producers in terms of production and planting area. And finally, we have North America. There are vinification vineyards almost all over the world. That's relatively scattered. The marketing cost will definitely be relatively high. ”
She took Hannah's hand and didn't let her touch her: "But, aren't my dad working on products for other crops? If we open the market now, we will be able to market other products in the future." Maybe it's worth spending a little more now. Hey, what are you looking at?" she asked, fiercely, but in a tone that was nowhere near as tough as before.
Link, of course, was looking at the bulging part of her chest. But he really didn't have to look at it: "I'm looking at Hannah's hand!", only Hannah reached out and touched it just now.
"You're envious?" Jessica glared, trying to look more fierce. She didn't know that her "fierceness" was more like playing tricks with her lover.
Link touched his nose, lest she be really annoyed, and hurriedly raised his hands in surrender and said, "What you just said makes sense. Is the company's money sufficient?"
"That's sure enough, but I haven't figured out what to do yet. Maybe I'll have to plan a little bit better. But it certainly won't cost too much money. ”
"You are the general manager of the company, and you can make your own decisions on what to do. ”
"You're not afraid that I'll embezzle all your money. ”
"You can't run away anyway!" Link said with a laugh.
Jessica just blushed and snorted softly this time. This made Link happy, and it seemed that this time it would be done.
But he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue.
The two were silent for a while before Jessica said, "Tell me about the legal counsel you want to hire for the company." He's your friend?"
Talking about business again, Link also put away the sorrow in his heart and said, "I'm not a friend for the time being." But I hope to be friends with him. Or rather, I hope to be tied to the same tank as him. ”
Jessica listened to him, and there was only seriousness on her face: "What do you want to do?"
"To do business in the United States, you have to have someone to speak for you politically. And the man's father is the new governor of New Mexico, and he is also a promising lawyer. ”
"No wonder you don't need to abandon those three lawyers, and you have to find someone else. So we're going to see him tomorrow to convince him to join our company?"
"No, he should have agreed. But you are the person in charge of the future of the California Agricultural Service Company, so you have to invite him. ”
Jessica understood what he meant. Although California Agricultural Services is actually owned by Link, Link seems to have formed an alliance with that person through the company, but he doesn't want to put the relationship on the table. It's an unspoken rule. As long as it is not a direct connection, even if you know that there is a cat in it, but there is no direct evidence, it is no evidence.
She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go find him tomorrow." ”
"Give him an annual salary of 150,000 dollars. "Of course, this annual salary is high. Because it's part-time, not full-time.
But this money is expected to be to win over Charlie, or rather to win over the two fathers and sons at the same time.
When talking to Furlen the other day, Furlen told quite a few examples of how businessmen collude with politicians. In the eyes of Americans, everyone is a completely independent individual. Therefore, as long as it is not directly stuffed with money for officials and their families, it is not illegal.
For example, after a certain president is elected, he has older siblings, younger siblings, and a wife and children.
If he wants the president to take care of himself, the businessman can do it through the work of his relatives.
The president's brother is a businessman, well, give him several large orders with significantly higher profit margins than average that actually exceed the company's capabilities.
The president's younger brother has a bad future and can't work? It doesn't matter, hire him as a senior executive of the company and give him a high-tech.
The president's sister and sister don't have jobs, and they still have to be housewives? It doesn't matter, get a freelance writer, assign a special gunman, and then get two small magazines to publish the article and pay a high salary.
As for the wife and children, the greatest support for the charity work done by the president's wife. Inviting the first lady to work in a position that will not be very conspicuous but very advantageous.
Of course, some large companies will be more generous, and when His Excellency the President leaves office, they will support his autobiography and hold events at a large price to invite him to speak.
So he plans to learn too. He had been in contact with Giovanni before, and now he has asked California Agricultural Services to hire Charlie as a legal counsel and offer a high annual salary. Their father and son would know that he was making a gesture of goodwill.
As for whether the show of favor can bring him benefits, it will be necessary to wait for Lu Yao to know the horsepower. But he had to do it first.
Jessica listened to Link and even decided on her annual salary. She knew it was a very simple matter. It's so simple that as long as she sends a letter of appointment, the other party can sign it.
"And so we're going to make a special trip to San Francisco?" Link said with a smile. "Actually, we just stopped by to play there. ”
"Why don't you go to Los Angeles? San Francisco is not much fun except for the crowd. ”
Link thought, is this a discussion about a date? He thought for a moment and said, "I'll give him a call." Let's see if we can get him to come to Salakmento. ”
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and dialed Charlie Giovanni.
"Hello, Link. ”
"Hello Charlie, I hope it didn't bother you. ”
"Not an intrusion. I'm reading!"
Link smiled and said, "Then I won't take up too much of your time." As I mentioned to you this afternoon, California Agricultural Services Inc. in Sarakmento would like to hire you as their legal counsel. If you're willing to accept the position, they're willing to offer an annual salary of $150,000. ”
"Thank you very much for your recommendation. I think I'd be more than happy to work for another company with a bright future. ”
"So if you're free tomorrow. If you have time, I hope you can come to their company, and by the way, I can also take you to visit the company. ”
"I'm free tomorrow morning, and I think I'll be there tomorrow at half past nine. ”
Link said a few more words to him and hung up. He smiled and said to Jessica, "That's it! He'll be here tomorrow at half-past nine." ”
Jessica was still holding Hannah's hands and playing with her, and he said, "Tomorrow at half past nine, right? ”
She reached out and scratched Hannah's bulging belly a few times, making the little one twist and giggle.
Link watched from the side, a smile on his lips. They get along, which reassures him.
"By the way, how are your wines made? I think it would be nice to have Albert in charge of the winemaking. ”
"It's pretty good. At least it didn't spoil. ”
"Haha, you...... Unless there is a major mistake, how can the winemaker make a bad wine?"
She thought for a moment and said, "I heard that this year's ISC is going to be held in New York. Are you ready to participate? You arrived at the winery and hired Albert, who should be eligible to participate. ”
Link laughed and said, "He's already told me. I will definitely go to the competition when the time comes. ”
The ISC is the world's most authoritative wine competition. The contestants are the work of some of the world's most famous winemakers. The judges are all master tasters. The competition is scored in the form of blind tasting. If the score reaches a certain standard, you can win the third prize of gold, silver and bronze. There is no noun limit to each award, as long as the score can meet the standard, it can be obtained.
Albert has promised to recommend his wines to compete for the ISC's International Winemaker of the Year award. That's the greatest recognition and praise for a winemaker.
Of course, for him to win that award, he had to make amazing wines. If Link's wines could have earned Albert that accolade, his wines would at least be gold.
And the wines that won the gold medal are definitely not sold.
"Albert's wine, I'm going to order a few bottles. Before the big game, I'm going to buy it. Jessica laughed like a fox. "By the way, is your wine already priced?"
"Not yet. Between June and August, Albert would help me invite sommeliers and wine magazine editors and writers to my farm for tastings. I'll have a couple of small tastings. If you have time, you can go and taste my wine. ”
"Then you have to let me know the time in advance. Also, can I bring my mom with me? She would love to have a high-level winemaker taster. ”
Link, of course, would not refuse such a request: "Of course you can. But he felt the priority was not to talk about wine, but about tomorrow's date. "You're going to rest these days, aren't you? How about we go to Los Angeles for two days tomorrow after signing the employment contract with Charlie?"
"Of course, I've wanted to visit Rodeo Drive for a long time. Jessica seemed to get excited, and put her head against Hannah's, saying. "Hannah wants to go too, right?"
