Chapter 360: The mall is like a battlefield
Link decided to stay in New York for an extra day to take the opportunity to talk to Snapton. Anyone who cares about his relationship with Snapton should have found out. However, Snapton's company is small, and those who find it may not care. So he didn't intend to draw attention to Snapton. At least not like that until Snapton's first operation begins.
He asked Snapton to meet him at the hotel.
Snapton also seemed to guess what he was trying to say, so he brought over her previous plan.
After reading it, Link said, "I've struggled to see your plan. However, I can agree with your plan, and you may be able to contact Flren and Neil Geddes for specific plans. ”
"Neil Geddes?" Snapton was in New York, of course, hearing about Neil. "He's working for you now, too?"
"He's a collaborator, just like you. Link said with a smile. "If you need to work with them on this project, you can contact them. They may be able to do some of the arrangements in your plan on the stock market. ”
"I understand!"
Snapton does need to find some institutions to buy the target's shares. If there were allies, of course it would be better.
"But you also have to think about where they stand in the eyes of Wall Street, and having them involved in your plan might make some difference," Link added. ”
Snapton lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment before looking up and laughing, "Maybe we can take advantage of Wall Street's hostility towards them." ”
"What are you going to do?"
"It's just an idea, whether it's feasible or not, I'm going to talk to them. We may be able to exploit the hostility of some on Wall Street to them for our purposes. ”
"That's good. In addition, in the future, the Ozette Bank will be handed over to Claire Hawke. For the transfer of funds, you can contact him. I've already talked to him about the two billion dollars. ”
Of course, he will not hand over all the power of the bank to Claire, and he must have to make some restrictions, such as how much money can be used on his own initiative, how many funds must be his nod, and the amount of money that can be used each month will also be limited. It's just that he hasn't decided on this limit yet.
Snapton nodded and said, "OK! If nothing else, I'll go." ”
It had been more than an hour since she arrived at the hotel. Time was running out for Link to see her plan.
Link nodded and said, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”
"Maybe you'll have to wait months. Snapton stood up and laughed. "You know, that needs to be careful. Otherwise, the fish will run away. ”
After seeing off Snapton, Link went to buy gifts for Jessica and Hannah. When his car returned to the hotel, he saw two acquaintances shaking hands outside the hotel gate, as if one of them was seeing the other on.
Luke Truss and Hull Donald mixed together?Link looked through the car window, although it was a little far away, he still saw Luke Truss smiling, even after Hul Donald's car drove away.
The other party didn't notice Link and turned around and returned to the hotel.
Link stood at the hotel gate for a moment before entering the hotel. Back in the room, he said to Tiger, who was leaving, "You go check on Luke Truss...... Never mind. ”
Even if you check, you may not be able to find anything useful. All he had to know was that the two seemed to be colluding together. However, as long as the other party is not aimed at him, the other party has nothing to do with him even if he is engaged in the base.
That afternoon, they left New York. He needed to put the bank's work together in advance and wait for Claire to hand over when he arrived at Fox.
…………
The days are getting closer and closer to Christmas day by day in Hannah's anticipation. The weather is also getting colder day by day.
As we entered December, Martha brought Link a full version of the plan for Fox's new town. Link saw that it was a plan with clear neighborhoods. In the residential area, each block is rectangular, and there are 12 to 18 yards connected to the house in one block, which saves the land occupied by the middle passage and can increase the utilization rate of the land.
In addition to the plans for the entire city, there are also some plans for the houses.
Each residence is two-storey and has a floor area of about 100 square meters. The courtyard is 400 square meters. Link also saw more than ten different room types. Seven of them are affordable housing types.
"We can ask the Friendship homebuyer to pay a deposit upfront and let them choose the type of room they like, and they can modify it, but if they want to make changes, they will have to pay an additional design fee," Martha said. ”
"That's a good idea. The other types of rooms are designed to be high-class residences?"
"Yes, those homes were designed for your other project, primarily for wealthy families who might settle in Fox. ”
Link looked at the overall plan, nodded and said, "I don't have any more questions." So when will the construction start?"
"This can be built in a prefabricated way. As soon as we count the selected room type, we can immediately build the foundation. This work may continue until March next year. The prefabrication of the building structure can also be carried out simultaneously, as long as the foundation is completed, the building can be erected. ”
"The residential and commercial areas are being built together. Of course, at least twenty high-end residences were built at the same time. "Neil, they're still living in the Ozette Bank building since they came to Fox. Although it is more convenient to work there, they can't live there alone.
"I'll arrange. ”
"In the future, you can just ask people to follow this plan, and you don't have to follow it yourself. Also, you have to follow closely on the Peruvian side. ”
"OK! I'll always be following the alpaca project. Martha paused and said. "Next year, it's time for our alpaca textile factory to be built. ”
"You get ready. Workers are recruited as much as possible from among the occupants of low-rent apartments. ”
"For the Fox New Town project, we plan to recruit mainly low-cost apartment residents. Of course, some temporary workers will also be recruited locally in Fox. ”
"That's a good arrangement. "The number of people who recruit some Fox is not large, but there are still some who are unemployed or semi-unemployed. Although this project is only recruiting temporary workers, such a project will be carried out for at least half a year. That's also a relatively good job for the residents of Fox. "You can talk to Claire directly about funding. I've asked him to set aside the funds for this project. How to use it, you contact him directly. ”
"Good!"
"It's almost Christmas again. I'm not going to have a meeting this year. You give me an evaluation based on the contributions of your team members. ”
Martha smiled and said, "I'll do it as soon as possible." However, Link, the main member of the team, can't make any big or small contributions, because without any one of them, the team can't function properly. ”
Link understood what she meant and said, "I know. Then make an evaluation of your assistant's contribution. ”
"No problem. ”
Link: This is about to give out the annual bonus again. Snapton didn't have to worry about it, because their rewards were mainly sales commissions, and because of their team's outstanding results, Link raised the maximum limit, and the maximum total prize pool was 1,500 play dollars. Employees of other companies are paid annual bonuses based on performance or contract.
The only thing he needs to hand out is his management team.
Martha finally came up with a report and said: "Monthly summary of the pasta chain. Look at it!"
Link nodded and said, "I'll find time to watch." ”
He thought for a moment and then said, "In the coming year, you may need to shift your focus to planting. You have to be mentally prepared in advance. ”
Martha was aware of several of Benehans' patents, but she didn't know exactly what Link wanted to do. If you just want to sell those products, you don't need them as a team. Benehans can do just that. So she asked, "What do I need to do to prepare?"
"Large-scale agro-processing complexes. A consortium of companies and farms. It's up to you to do it. ”
"Do you want to compete with an agricultural giant like Tyson?"
Link nodded, "Yes." That's what I want to do. There may be many subsidiaries. A processing company for specific agricultural products. Those companies are managed by your team. So you also need to find some suitable business managers and train enough people. ”
"Link, I have to warn you, that would require a lot of cash flow. ”
"Then you have a new mission. Help me think of a way to save as much cash flow as possible. Acquisition, transportation, processing and sales. ”
Martha laughed and said, "Okay. We're here to help. ”
After Martha left, Link remained in the study, he picked up the report that Martha had brought, quickly skimmed through it, and put it aside if there was no problem.
Later, he was planning his agricultural plan on the computer.
The processing union he and Martha just talked about is an indispensable part of his plan, and it is one of the keys. To put it nicely, it was his link to the farmer. And to put it mildly, it is a tool to control the farmer.
However, there are already four giants in the company that have done so. They control more than 90 percent of cattle, more than 80 percent of pigs, more than 75 percent of poultry, and the vast majority of all kinds of grain processing and circulation. What he has to do is to take food from the mouths of those four giants. If he had done the same as those companies, he would not have been able to attract the farmers from them.
He might be able to tie people up with high-yielding crops. Just doing that will cause a lot of antagonism to the farmer. He did not dare to hope that other competitors would never be able to compete with Benehans.
He believes that this connection can be strengthened by bundling interests. It's just that this benefit should be given to the farmer so that they will want to stay in his system.
The human heart is always insufficient, and even if he gives all the benefits to the farmers, they will not be satisfied. He needed to find a degree that would make other competitors reluctant to go beyond it, and not make it easy for farmers to leave the system. And he can make the money he deserves.
And the key to this key consortium is the Ozette Bank. Many farmers are in debt, or they often rely on bank loans to stay afloat. Therefore, once a small farm encounters a natural disaster or a relatively large fluctuation in the market for raw materials and agricultural products, it is easy to declare bankruptcy immediately.
And those loans were also the ropes that tied them to those four agricultural giants.
So he needed a well-funded bank to provide loans to such farmers. Not just to keep their farms running, but to free them from those four agricultural giants. Only if they restore "freedom" will it be possible to join his system of associations.
