Chapter 554: It's Link's Turn to Strike
St. Louis, inside the employee dining room of a large company.
Two men, a middle-aged man and a young man, were dining at the same table. There was no one else around them. But they were eating lunch and discussing something in a low voice.
The middle-aged man took a big bite of the burger and put it down, wiped his hands with a napkin, and whispered, "I didn't expect them to react so quickly!"
"At least we don't have nothing to gain. The young man took a sip of coffee and said. "And our plan was not going to bring them down. ”
"The problem is, even though they have suffered, I think they will probably gain a lot. ”
The young man buried his head in two bites of sandwiches before saying, "Parker." No one is at their wit's end. We still have too little information. It's not anyone's fault that the plan didn't work out!"
Parker pursed his lips and shook his head, "But our next plan can't be implemented at all." ”
Their original plan was to wait for the Benehans group to argue with their people, and the government would have a reason to intervene. They could then use their government-level connections to investigate the Benehans group. After the investigation, the government came to a vague conclusion, which could raise Benehans's seed to more doubts.
But they didn't expect Benehans to risk leaking their research results and hand over the wheat to those testing institutes for testing.
If those testing agencies steal a few seeds, their technology could be stolen.
But Benniehans did just that. Both of them were well aware that the results of the all-round testing facilities were definitely Benehans' favor. Because the Benighans Group's own tests have not been falsified before, Benis No. 1 wheat is indeed not fundamentally different from conventional wheat. This is something that the research department within their company has also come to a conclusion.
With those test reports, there is no reason for the government to even inspect them.
Even if the report is not out yet, the government cannot take action. Because even if the government inspects it, it will send Benis wheat to a worse grade testing facility. Even if they went to check it out, it would be useless.
"Perhaps, we can make a fuss about their test reports!" the young man said after a moment's thought. "The public definitely can't read those reports, and we need to guide them. ”
Parker laughed and said, "George, there's no way they can't think of this. Moreover, those people, although they love money, will not be willing to be overtly cheating. Because that would cost them everything. He paused and said. "The way you told the boss last time might be better. It's just that the stakes are too high. ”
"Maybe, wait for the boss to decide!"
Parker frowned and said, "They're already in full swing!"
How did they know that Link had no intention of leaving the patents for those seeds in the United States. He has free access to those patents in his branches on all continents and is seeking cooperation with foreign countries.
Of course, Link didn't expect this move to save Benehans from a new problem.
On Benihans's side, the effect of the advertisement was quickly revealed. After the advertisement went live, the customer service department of the Benihans Group received thousands of calls in a day with questions about corn and soybean seeds.
Jessica was walking with the kids with Link when she learned the news. She said to Link with a little pride: "The advertising money has not been spent in vain!"
Link gave her a thumbs up and said, "Yes, yes! ”
As he spoke, his phone rang.
The call was from Sheng Bingheng: "Link Ke, the transfer procedures of the company have been completed." In addition, the relevant parties were also notified. ”
Link smiled and said, "Thank you!"
Sheng Bingheng joked: "You're welcome! Okay, I'll hang up." I can't afford to pay for long-distance phone calls across borders!"
"Who called?" Link said in Chinese, but Jessica could still understand the word "thank you" he said. "Maybe it's time for me to learn Chinese. Otherwise, your Chinese friend came and spoke Chinese but I couldn't understand it. ”
Link smiled and said, "I can speak English with them!"
Jessica smiled and kissed him and said, "That's going to be learned, too." Since the company plans to expand its business in China, learning Chinese is always beneficial. ”
She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I hire a Chinese tutor and Hannah learns too?"
Although Hannah is now an American citizen and half German, she feels that Link has learned Chinese by self-study and should have some feelings for China. Link's children would do well to learn Chinese as well. And mastering one of the world's major languages is also helpful for your child's future.
She felt that not only Hannah would have to learn, but also the other two young children who would have to learn when they grew up.
Link thought for a moment and said, "Then please come back!" In fact, whether the family knows Chinese or not, he doesn't think there is any difference.
It's not that hard to learn a language if you really need it. There's nothing you can't do even if you make up your mind and work hard. His child can be less stupid than the other children.
He remembered a white classmate who was about to graduate from high school and couldn't mentally calculate twelve divided by three.
Perhaps it is because of this that Chinese children are considered by white children to be good at math. In fact, most school math exams in the United States will list the formulas used in the questions in the test paper on the test paper, and can also bring a calculator.
And now it seems that Hannah and Caitlin have good memories, and they rely on memory to learn languages. Evan couldn't see it yet, but he wasn't stupid to look at.
"Then I'll look for candidates on the Internet at night, and you can ask people to check the details before the interview. ”
Link nodded.
Now they can't afford to be careless! As Douglas said, some people have no bottom line.
Jessica couldn't help but be curious, and returned to the original topic: "Who called you just now? Is there progress on the TV station?"
Except for some shady things, Link won't hide it from her. So he secretly calculated about American Chinese TV, and Jessica also knew. She thought it was Link who asked the Chinese to help take down the TV station.
Link shook his head and said, "No. I bought a trading company from Sheng Bingheng. ”
"Are you trading with China? Are you going to bring Blue Lagoon grapes directly into China?"
The only product that Link sells to China in the private sector is the Blue Lagoon wine. Jessica's first reaction was that Link was planning to use the trading company to build relationships in China and then lease land to grow grapes.
That's all she can think of.
Now Blue Lagoon wines have gained a firm foothold in the Chinese market, but mainly in the mid-to-high-end market. As for the low-end market, China does not need to import at all, and they themselves are oversupplied. If Link wants to sell low-grade Blue Lagoon wines to China, the best way to do that is to grow and make them in China.
Link smiled and shook his head, "That company has a contract with Bell Farms and Ekobe Farms. The contract value is up to one billion dollars. ”
"I remember Bell Farms made a lot of wine. "Bell Farms advertises a lot before it makes wine, and she can't even think about it.
Link laughed and said, "Their wine is too astringent to sell as vinegar now." ”
Jessica also gossiped: "What's going on?"
So far, Link hasn't hidden it from her anymore.
It turned out that Sheng Bingheng was asked by him to talk about cooperation with Luke Truss.
The sale of Blue Lagoon wines in China did not actually go through Sheng Bingheng. But the two acted in a scene. Link has registered a trading company on the Chinese side, and Sheng Bingheng has also registered one on the American side.
The Blue Lagoon wine entered China through these two companies, which gave Luke Truss the illusion that Link had handed over the agency of Blue Lagoon wine in China to Sheng Bingheng.
Sheng Bingheng cooperated with Link but went to him, which seems very unreasonable.
But that's normal in Luke Truss's opinion.
In his eyes, of course, those who do business want to make more profits. So when Sheng Bingheng complained about Link's "greed", he believed it six or seven percent.
And Luke Truss feels that if Link wants to set himself up, it would be even more deceptive to find a collaborator he doesn't know. And Sheng Bingheng has a very close relationship with Link, and he can see it as a business fraud.
Sheng Bingheng went to him, but it made it easier for him to clear his guard.
In fact, this is also true. When Sheng Bingheng asked to sign a contract and give a deposit, although Luke Truss was still a little wary, he basically believed that this was a great opportunity for him to defeat Link. He was even worried that Sheng Bingheng would temporarily change his hexagram. The legal person of the company is also required to be included in the responsible party of the contract.
However, Sheng Bingheng also added an article to the contract in accordance with Link's request: "Party A has the right to check whether Party B's brewing ability meets the possibility of Party A's requirements." If it is determined that Party B cannot guarantee the supply of the goods agreed in the contract, Party B shall be deemed to have breached the contract. ”
At that time, Luke Truss was full of confidence.
The Blue Lagoon grapes look very good and are perfect for winemaking. Even if it's just an ordinary grape, as long as you find a good winemaker, it is not difficult to get a silver medal. Besides, even if the wine is a little worse, spend some money and invite wine critics who may become judges of the competition to taste the wine, so that they can familiarize themselves with it. And then with a PR, it's not difficult to get a gold medal.
But that's just a trap.
"So, when you get that company, you're going to get a billion dollars in liquidated damages? But how do you know if their wine is bad?"
"I asked Douglas to look at the wineries that bought their seedlings and had already made wine last year. Douglas also found some clues that something must have happened to Bell Farms. They found John Malone rushing to Bell Farm and leaving with a gloomy face. ”
The wineries that had the accident didn't break the news because Luke Truss reacted quickly. To those people the winery promised to pay compensation. But we need to wait until the batch of Bell Farms is sold.
The wineries, hoping to recoup their losses, agreed to remain silent for the time being. But they didn't know that Luke Truss's wine was also corrupted. Saying that if you sell the wine, you will pay compensation, but it is just delaying time. Because Luke Truss studied the contract and found that if China Sheng knew that the wine was corrupted, they would immediately pay a billion dollars in compensation.
They need time to make trouble for China Sheng, and then take the handle so that China Sheng does not dare to mention the matter of compensation.
It's just that China Sheng returned to China after signing the contract, and never came to the United States again. This leaves them with no way to do anything.
