Chapter 430: A Somewhat Different Link
After everyone had come out, Sinclair walked up to the stage again: "Gentlemen, ladies. What we have just seen is only a very small fraction of children with leukemia. Most of these children come from ordinary families. And we have thousands of new children with leukemia in the United States every year, and thousands of families will fall into that kind of predicament every year. Obviously, our country's health care system does not allow parents to send their children to the doctor without any financial pressure. β
"They need our help. Ladies and gentlemen. They are like people who have fallen into the water with driftwood still clinging, and if they don't get help all the time, they will give up when they lose all hope. The Lord is with us, and we are with the Lord. The light of the Lord shines on you, on me, and on all of us. The Lord will not give up on any of His people, and before they do, they may be saved by extending our hand. And they'll be able to keep going. β
"Now, it's time for us to act. β
After Coklein finished speaking, more than two dozen cowgirl girls rushed out with donation boxes. It was then scattered throughout the ballroom. On a large screen, it was also noted that the donation was made to the organization whose name was displayed.
Those cowgirl girls don't deliberately walk towards anyone, but see who shows their willingness to donate before they come forward with a box in their hands.
Link writes a number in the checkbook and fills in the agency written on the payee. He beckoned to one of the cowgirl closest to him.
These are all cowboy girls in the casino, they are all dressed more revealingly, the navel is exposed, the lower body is only wearing a very short pair of jeans, and the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon on the upper body are also mostly exposed.
The girl came up and gave Link a wink.
Instead of eating her spinach, Link, though, just dropped the check into the box in her hand.
Cockein dropped his check in as well, and waited for the girl to walk away before he said to Link, "That girl was good." β
"Perhaps. But I already have the best. "A woman, he can have as many as he wants, it's just that he doesn't want to. The relationship is something that two people need to run together. It cannot be said that the other party does not know and it is assumed that nothing happened.
Then several invited singers and artists took the stage to perform the show, and the atmosphere heated up again, and the host once again attracted everyone's attention. "Ladies and gentlemen, after intense counting, we have raised $63,300,000," he said. β
"Wow......" He surprised everyone a little by his numbers. Because in the past, there would be such charity fundraising receptions, but a few million would be considered very good. Although these people have money and may be willing to do charity, they are certainly more willing to spend their money where they are willing to donate.
"Yes, I wasn't nervous and I didn't misreport the numbers. We did receive $63 million. The biggest donation came from Mr. Link Hans, who personally donated $50 million!"
They looked at him in unison as if they knew Link was there.
Link was still a little uncomfortable being watched by everyone, but he didn't hold back at all, he smiled and nodded around with his glass.
What can anyone else do, they can only applaud his ruined behavior!
The reporter at the scene reacted quickly, and the one who was close to him had already walked quickly to his side: "Hello, Mr. Hans, I am XXXX's reporter XXXX. Did you donate $50 million this time a long time ago or did it come out of nowhere?"
Link saw that the question was asked smoothly, so he did not refuse to answer: "I only knew that it was a charity reception before I came, and I didn't know the theme of the fundraiser before I came. Still, seeing the kids in those pictures, I thought I had to do what I had to do. Mr. Mayor is right, it's time to lend our hand. He raised his glass to the reporter, then turned to Cockeline and walked away.
When other reporters saw this, they knew Link wasn't going to be interviewed. On such occasions, they did not dare to dwell too much.
However, after the host broke out that number, it seemed that he was setting an ambush for another fundraiser.
This time Link didn't go out of line, just donated $100,000.
After that, everyone seemed to be relieved. They can enjoy the normal atmosphere of a cocktail party.
In Las Vegas, Link is no longer the "little rich" hairy kid. It's fair to say that he now has no worse influence on Las Vegas than anyone else. And some of Link's other industries also make people see his potential for further progress.
For someone like Link, whether it was his enemy, rival, or someone who wanted to associate with him, he would definitely have studied it. Benihans, which is already in the eruption period, Ozette Bank, which has a capital of up to 10 billion dollars, and the other two companies seem to be developing quite well. He even bought a private security company in Texas. Not only his company, farm, but also his home are all taken care of by this company. That shows that he has begun to pay attention to building his own power.
If you have investigated him, you will find that he is now involved in several industries. And it looks like those investments are quite successful.
For someone who is already rich and looks very potential, who still has that big face to think of letting Link take the initiative to greet them?
In fact, Link rarely takes the initiative to get to know other people. On the contrary, there are constantly different greetings around him. Businessmen, lawyers, doctors, parliamentarians, and so on. After a drinking party, he had spoken to at least three hundred people he didn't know before.
Towards the end of the reception, Link left.
The next day he was not ready to stay in Las Vegas. He needs to fly to the South Oregon farms to see. The winter wheat there is almost ripe. The people in charge said that the harvest would be in mid-May. He wanted to start by assessing the yield of those wheat.
Going to the South Oregon farm is a bit of a hassle because the plane can't land directly inside the farm. Link got off the plane and called Martha and asked her to find someone to build an airfield for the farm to take off and land his private jets.
Soon after, however, the helicopter that had come to pick him up arrived.
At this Southern Oregon farm, there are six newly purchased helicopters and more than a dozen security personnel guarding the test field to avoid seed theft. Or these test plots can be destroyed by animals.
The man who managed the test field was an experienced old black farmer. He took Link to the edge of the field, took an ear of wheat and handed it to Link, saying, "Mr. Hans, you see that this ear of wheat is better than all the wheat I have ever seen." I estimate these slices of wheat. It can even reach three hundred bushels per acre. β
The production of three hundred bushels is already super high. Link didn't think about breaking the world record, as long as the production allowed him to spread the seed in the United States, he was basically satisfied.
Link saw that the experimental field was really good, so he didn't say much, just let the black farmers continue to take care of the land. He also went to see the growing number of alpacas. Alpaca calves bred on breeding farms in Peru have begun to be shipped to the United States.
He even took the time to go to Sheng Bingheng's sawmill. He chatted with the workers from China and learned that Sheng Bingheng would come over from time to time.
He saw the wood from the sawmill and remembered the carbonized wood that was still piled up at Mora Manor. He wanted to make some furniture or ornaments out of the wood. He can use the Eastern style or the Western style for something like that.
Oriental style, he needed to find a skilled wood carver who was willing to stay in the United States for a long time through the Chinese. On the U.S. side, he just needs to ask Martha to invite him.
He remembered the carbonized wood several times, but each time he forgot about it in the blink of an eye. This time, he simply called Sheng Bingheng and asked him to find two carpenters or woodcarvers.
Hearing that he actually had more than a thousand gloomy trees, Sheng Bingheng agreed with his mouth. In his mind, Link would certainly not be stingy in terms of wages, and there was plenty of gloomy wood to carve from. Those masters don't necessarily want to go to the United States.
He didn't spend the night in Oregon. Back at Mora Manor, he frolicked with Hannah. Knowing that Hannah had time to take a shower, he had a chance to talk to Jessica.
Jessica looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "I always feel that yours has become a little different." β
Link was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there anything different about me? I don't have plastic surgery, I don't even fight." β
Jessica smiled and said, "Not good-looking, I mean your temperament." I can feel the feeling that Kiss said now. β
"Am I getting haughty?" Link said with a laugh as he hugged her. "I will not be proud of anyone. β
"It's not that you're arrogant, it's more confidentβthe kind of confidence you should have for who you are. Jessica leaned her head on his shoulder and said with a smile. "I don't know what you've been through these days, but I like you to be more confident. β
Link was stunned again. He thinks he has it. Of course, there are times when you are not confident. He kissed Jessica on the forehead and asked, "Jesse, be honest." Wasn't I confident before?"
"You've never been as confident as you thought you were. β
For example?
"For example, when you are chasing me, if you are confident enough, you will definitely act more decisively. I think you hurt your self-esteem at that time when you were worried about being rejected by me. β
Link thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I'm in such a personality. Never too proactive. β
"Not taking the initiative is not confident enough. β
He had nothing to refute at this point. He looked at her with a grin and asked, "Since you think I'm not confident enough, why did you agree to be my girlfriend?"
"Because you're the second man besides my dad who doesn't make me feel nasty. Jessica remembered that when she grew up, the men in her relatives looked at her with a certain meaning. "And, although you are not acting confident, you are maintaining your self-esteem. People with high self-esteem but not self-confidence usually have quite extreme thoughts, words and deeds, but I found that you are not like an extreme person, so I am curious about you. β
Link pecked her a few times on the mouth, then hugged her and kissed her for a while, and then asked, "Are there any other signs of lack of confidence?"
"There are a lot of them. And many more. But I won't talk about it. Now there seems to be nothing in your eyes that can stump you. What the hell is going on?"
Link thought for a while and said, "Yesterday I fired more than a dozen senior executives of Lin's retail company at Renault in a row and hired an acting president. It was then that I suddenly realized that I was actually high up to many people, and that I could control their future. β
In fact, the most important reason is that he completely oppressed James Guslet, who once completely oppressed him to the point that he couldn't breathe, completely beat him up with legitimate means.
That's his inner demon!
