Early the next morning, Link got on a plane with his youngest daughter Caitlin in aggrieved eyes, and flew to Oregon. He and Bank were going to the South Oregon farm.

On the plane, Link and Bank start talking about the Benis No. 1 wheat. Bank suddenly mentioned it, and said, "I heard Hannah say that she doesn't have a godfather?"

Link didn't think much of it, nodded and said, "Yes, Hannah didn't perform the baptism. In fact, neither Caitlyn nor Evan did. ”

"Why. You and Jessica are not religious?"

Link said, "I was baptized as a child. But then I stopped believing in God. Jessica is a Protestant and she goes to church when she has time. ”

"And your children?"

"I made a good deal with Jessica that I wouldn't let them believe in anything until they didn't have the ability to judge. It's up to them to decide for themselves later. ”

"I'm curious about what made you suddenly stop believing in God. As far as I know, no matter what new denomination it is, there is no sudden change of faith. ”

Link said seriously, "When I was very young, my biological parents took me to baptism. I think they wanted me to fit in with the religious society of the United States. But actually, my mother didn't grow up talking to me about God or anything like that. I remember that she would tell me some mythological stories. ”

He paused and said, "My adoptive mother, Barbara, after adopting me, told me that my mother went to God. I stupidly begged God to let my mother come back every night. But you know, that's not possible. So I started complaining about God. Later, everyone told me that it was God who gave America and that God guaranteed that all Americans were equal. One year, when I was a nine-year-old, there were a few white kids who called me a monkey and insulted my deceased mother. So I started beating them. As a result, I was expelled from school. But the God of justice did not punish those who discriminated against me. And also did not punish this unfair country. Later, my adoptive parents went to Nevada, and discrimination persisted. Therefore, God is also unfair in my heart. At that time, I learned that it was better to believe in God than to believe in myself. Although I still go to church with my adoptive parents at that time, the meaning of church to me is that the music in it makes me feel more at ease. ”

Bank listened to him and didn't know what to say.

He's not the kind of heretic person to die for. He was silent for a moment and said, "God will punish those people!"

"Perhaps. Link said with a smile. "I didn't believe in God, but I became stronger and more sensible. After that, unless it was a danger to my own safety, I never beat someone for my own hands, and never caused trouble to my adoptive parents. ”

"You're definitely making them very proud right now. ”

"I hope it is!"

Bank smiled and said, "I heard that the Southern Oregon farm we're going to right now is the largest small alpaca production area outside of Peru. ”

Link didn't want to continue on the topic he had just talked about. He nodded and said, "Yes." There are more than 50,000 baby alpacas and are constantly being purchased from Peru. In addition, this winter's first artificially developed alpaca calves will be born. There will be more of them. ”

"I have to say, your investment is very discerning. Alpacas are also found outside of South America, but the vast majority of them are large alpacas. Baby alpacas, on the other hand, produce less wool but have better quality of wool. I heard that there are many farms in the United States that are interested in breeding. ”

Bank had heard about Link's alpaca farming promotion program. Although it has not yet been promoted, it is said that many people have expressed their desire to breed. The Benehans Group is also offering training to interested farms. Maybe it's waiting for the baby llamas to give birth to cubs before selling them.

Benihans's idea of farmers sharing the profits of the processing plant with the sales of alpaca wool will certainly attract many farms to raise alpacas. Link, on the other hand, can monopolize the market for alpaca raw materials in the United States.

"Yes, we've got about 20,000 applications from family farms right now. We are also organizing people to provide them with the necessary training. Starting next year, these applicants will be provided with baby alpaca cubs. It's a pity that this industry won't have much prospects. ”

"But that's going to create a new industry. "Banker genuinely thinks Link is in the right industry. "Peru is not skilled enough in calpaca breeding, but Benihans seems to have been able to effectively breed calpacas in captivity. If the industry is promoted, it will definitely make the alpaca wool spinning industry as common as the cotton spinning industry. That's not a small industry. ”

Although there is a lot of capital power in agriculture, it is relatively weak compared to other fields. In particular, the alpaca farming industry has had little capital involved before.

From what Bank knew, Link had two billion dollars at the beginning. If Link had invested that money in other popular industries, he might have run out of bones that had already been eaten.

Link's approach is very restrained, and every investment starts from a place where the capital power is relatively weak.

The baby alpaca farming they just talked about is just one example.

For example, cropping and animal husbandry, in which only the food industry participates. Another example is a completely innovative approach to tackling pests, diseases and weeds in the planting industry. Then there is the wheat seed market, which is the most chaotic in the seed market. Link seems to be all the way to it.

Banker believes that Link's most crucial step is to capitalize on the American public debate over genetically modified foods to propose new pollution-free food standards. The emergence of this standard also formalized Link's position in American agriculture.

Although this standard is not yet dominant in American society, it is a trend that the American public wants to see. As long as there are more and more pollution-free standard foods. Genetically modified foods will lose all market in the United States.

Link even went so far as to create his own capital system. This allowed him to break through the natural ceiling of the yellow race in the white world.

Of course, he was just as most people think: Link's luck was too good.

Most people believe that without the Blue Lagoon grapes and the few wells on Baker's farm, Link would not have grown as fast as he wouldn't have been, and he wouldn't have become an agricultural giant in just a few years.

And the key to this is that Link has his own capital system. This system is mainly Link's banks. They allow Link to run his business without being constrained by capital, and they can also draw other capital-controlled farms to his side.

And Link also seems to be smart enough.

Although Banker has no discrimination against people in his heart. But he knows that Asians have a ceiling in the white world. White people will not easily allow the Chinese to develop to a certain height.

But in the beginning, Link seems to be focused on making money and doesn't care about anything else. When he had a certain strength, he won over a large number of Americans through charities such as low-rent apartments, pasta companies and banks.

And most of these ordinary people accept American political correctness.

They may be weak on their own, but Link is one with their interests. The larger this group, the more the United States will not dare to deprive Link of fairness.

It can be said that the current Link, unless the capital in the United States uses informal means, it is difficult to bring down Link.

But the democracy that the United States flaunts must fall on Link's head.

If Link, the richest man in China, was brought down by unjust means. There could be big chaos in the United States.

That's not because Bank overestimated Link's energy, but because the American system and social ideals are protecting the safety of Link's business.

If American capital competes with Link by means beyond American jurisprudence. Because of Link's identity, and Link's own energy, "unfairness" will be infinitely magnified. This will have an impact on the spirit of "democracy" proclaimed in the U.S. Constitution, and will cause confusion in American society. It's like the confusion of thinking after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

And when Link really became a threat to American elite capital, he was already the richest man in the Chinese in the United States, and his wealth could also be among the best among the Chinese in the world. If Link, who has American citizenship, is treated unfairly. Not to mention that the Chinese in the United States will lose confidence in the United States, that is, Chinese capital all over the world may flee the United States, and the United States may also be boycotted by Chinese people around the world.

Once that happens, whether the United States admits it or not, the power of the Chinese in the world is so strong that even the United States cannot bear it. Unless the U.S. plans to declare war on China, the U.S. government must flaunt democracy against Chinese Americans.

If it's two countries, it's hard to say. However, we may refer to the concentration camp policy of the United States in the United States during World War II.

But now that the United States clearly has no intention of declaring war on China, American capital can only watch Link grow stronger and stronger.

Bank's opinion and suspicion of Link, Link himself didn't think it so thoroughly. He just knows that if the Chinese want to really stand out in the United States, they must break the barriers set up by American society against yellow people.

He has been discriminated against since then, but Jeff and Barbara's concern for him keeps him from being extreme. After he was unfairly treated by his high school teacher, he began to think more. I understand that before he has enough ability, as a Chinese, no matter how good he is, others can change his fate as long as they move their mouths and write a few words.

Later, before he did anything, he would consider the possible potential enemies, as well as the balance of power between himself and the enemy. And use this as a reference to constantly strengthen their own shortcomings.

That's why. He insisted on making agriculture the foundation of his career. Because agriculture is probably one of the industries where big capital is weakest. His own capital can play a greater role.

He knows that he is a yellow race, and as long as one of the keys is stuck by someone's neck, no matter how strong he is in other industries, he may decline because of it. So he built almost an entire related industry. Now his business is production, processing, transportation and sales.

Those needed money, so he set up his own bank.

He also used his industry to make the banks cooperate with more American interests, so that his energy appeared to be greater. It's like a bird that blows its wings all the time to make itself bigger.

More recently, he has begun to expand beyond the United States, making his career more viable.

In order to increase his influence, he also established his own media network, and even did not hesitate to trap the Jiang family, who were also Chinese.

And he did everything for one purpose: no one dared to discriminate against him anymore.
