Chapter 440 Seemingly: Except for him, he is very successful
"I trust your judgment. What to do, I think you have the bottom in your heart. ”
Neil was confident in Link's words: "Of course!"
"If nothing else, I'll go first. ”
"Well, if there's something, I'll probably call you at any time. ”
Speculation is not good at that, and news that needs attention may appear at any time. If you miss the best time to respond, you may lose all your money.
"If there's anything urgent, you can handle it yourself. I am confident in your professional competence. ”
"OK! Thank you!"
Link finished speaking and left Neil's office.
In the office, he reads the accumulated documents that need to be signed and then signs. Then look on the Internet to see if there are any network files that he needs to deal with immediately, and if there are, he will also deal with them by the way. After handling all the work, he saw that the time was almost the end of work, so he did not leave work early, and did not leave the company until five o'clock.
In the car, he dialed Snatson's phone: "I hope it didn't disturb your appointment." ”
"The man who deserves to date me hasn't appeared in my world yet. I'm having dinner though. Snapton was talking to him and was indeed eating, and Link could even hear her chewing. "But the boss. Is there something you want me to do when you're calling?"
"How was the conversation with Meiya Media today?"
The chairman of the board said he needed to discuss with the board of directors before making a decision. But I don't think he's very happy. Do you care about this opportunity?" Snapton finally swallowed the contents of his mouth. Link heard her drinking, though. "You only ask for 10 to 15 percent of the shares, and even if you achieve the goal, it doesn't make much difference. ”
Link said, "That's an opportunity, isn't it? You just said the other side wasn't very happy." You could hear it from the tone of his voice?"
No, it was a subtle change in his expression. Obviously, he looks surprised by your inquiry. I definitely didn't think you would take the initiative to ask. There was still disapproval in his eyes. I think he thinks in his heart that you're not going to get a stake in their company. I'll call you right away if there's any definite news. ”
Hearing her say that, Link frowned and said, "If you hear anything about them, tell me too." Like they finance something like that. ”
"Good!" replied Snapton. But she asked again. "Actually, I think why don't you build your own TV station? ”
"I can do that. But I'm short of people right now. Even if you find people, it is not possible to develop a TV station in a short period of time. There are many more unspoken concerns that he has not expressed. For example, if he invests in the construction of a TV station, if the program production cannot open the ratings, he needs to waste more time. If it doesn't go well, he doesn't know how long it will take to reach the scale of American Chinese television.
Of course, if American Chinese television is not available for a long time, he will also consider setting up his own television station.
"I see! I think you're trying to turn it into something that's acceptable to white people?"
"Yes. "When he wanted to buy West Coast Chinese TV before, he told Snapton about this idea.
"So you don't have to buy Chinese TV! Maybe I can help you keep an eye out for other TV stations. By the way, you don't have specific requirements. For example, the location of the TV station and so on. ”
There are hundreds of large and small local TV stations in the United States, and Link will certainly not choose those that are too small. But almost every state has some relatively large television stations, and there is always something to find that meets Link's needs. If Link has a requirement for geography, the range of options will be much smaller.
"As long as it's not too discriminatory against the Chinese. "There are states where whites are very heavy. He remembered that a certain state in the United States was known for its racial discrimination.
"I see. I'll keep an eye out. ”
"You don't have anything to talk to me about?" Link asked.
Snapton immediately said, "No." ”
"For example, the case of Springs Pharmaceuticals. ”
"That bastard told you?" Snapton seemed annoyed. "My winnings are gone. ”
"What bonus?"
"I mean, it's when the end result of things comes that it's the best surprise. If you don't know until then, you might be rewarded with a nice bonus. ”
Link laughed and said, "You're implying that my boss is too stingy?"
"Oh, of course not. I just want more. Snathorn said with a laugh. "Well, now there are no surprises. Then I'll tell you. We have reached an agreement with Ms. Springs. She will support us on the board. Of course, if our plan is successful, we need to buy her shares at a 20% premium to the market price. ”
"So will the cost be overrun?"
"No, it won't. Because the potential of this company is huge!"If you buy it and resell it, of course you will lose money." But if the full potential of the Springs is realized, they will make a lot of money. "In just two years, you'll find that you're just too smart. ”
"Well, if you really make money, you can also have a 10% dividend. ”
"So, I'm trying. And, the boss. My steak is getting cold. ”
"Okay. See you soon!"
Link put down the phone, feeling a little ridiculous.
The rest of his business seemed to be going well, except for the Benehans company, which he valued the most, which had problems. In fact, it can't be said that something went wrong, but it is obvious that he can't complete the plan exactly according to his vision.
For the next few days, he lived a life of being at home in the morning and going to work in the afternoon. Other companies have people in charge, and Benehans can solve anything he needs to deal with right away with a network signature at home. As for those who had to put pen on paper, they could only be dealt with when he went to work in the afternoon.
But after a few days of his diligence, he found another reason to be lazy at home - Albert came.
Albert came to check the fermentation of the wines he made.
Dozens of young winemakers are spread across three farms, managing nearly 100 million new wines. They're busy, but they're probably able to handle it. But Albert, as a winemaker of certain wines, of course, also regularly comes to taste them to see if there are any adjustments that need to be made.
Of course, with those young winemakers around, he has a lot less work to do. He only needs to taste the wine he makes. Other winemakers don't give any opinion unless they ask him for advice: "That's the mutual respect between winemakers." ”
Albert wanted to taste not only the new wines, but also the main wines he had made in previous years, and he also needed to taste them. See how they behave after aging.
So they took out dozens of bottles of wine too. It took the two of them a whole day to taste all the wines, and Albert made some minor adjustments to the new wines.
Finally he said to Link: "Link, maybe we can remove a batch of sparkling wine first." Plus flavor enhancer. ”
"The first batch?"
"That's right. I would like to know how to add those 'ice wines', these sparkling wines. If it's good enough, we'll continue to make it later, and if not, we may not be able to make sparkling wine in the future without a good enough flavor enhancer. Albert said with a smile. "But I'm very optimistic about it. I think it's going to do well. ”
Link nodded and said, "I'll let Robert prepare." "He doesn't know how to do it, but the winemakers do.
"Sparkling wine disgorgement takes a while and requires some specific equipment. Maybe you can buy some small production lines back first. ”
Link agreed.
In the evening, Link cooks some food and finds Albert. At the same time, Alyssa was invited.
Knives and forks are prepared at the table, but they are not shared. Albert saw that there was seafood in the dish, but Link opened red wine and couldn't help but say, "Link, red wine is not suitable with seafood." ”
"The chefs say that because they don't know how to cook seafood. ”
Seafood is not suitable for seafood, it is said that the high content of iron ions in red wine will make the fishy smell of seafood stronger. But he often eats like this at home, and he doesn't feel that the fishy smell will become stronger. Later, when he ate Western food, he did find that no one would eat seafood with red wine. However, that's because the smell of seafood in Western food is already stronger.
To put it mildly, Western food prefers to retain the original flavor of seafood. It's not nice to say, that is, the craftsmanship needs to be strengthened, and the means of removing the smell are not in place.
Of course, there may be a factor in the relatively low iron particle content of Blue Lagoon red wine.
Albert shrugged, smiled at Alyssa, and said to Link, "Okay, let's try the seafood you made." ”
Because there are children and pregnant women at home, Link's dishes are all steamed or fried, and they are relatively light.
And some time ago, Jessica was sick to his stomach when he smelled a fishy smell because of pregnancy reaction, so he tried his best to remove the fishy smell in the ingredients.
He first took a piece of meat from the steamed flounder with chopsticks and put it on Jessica's plate, and then got Hannah a piece. When he saw Albert and Alyssa but didn't do anything, he said, "Are you used to eating like this?"
"Of course not. In fact, I once had dinner at a friend's house in China. That's how it is eaten. However, the Chinese food he makes looks darker. ”
Link guessed he must have not eaten enough. No matter what country people are used to, the tastes they are used to are different, and even the tastes of each person at different ages will vary greatly. Sudden exposure to a food that is very different from what you eat on a regular basis usually doesn't feel too good.
"I've traveled in China and eaten at restaurants in several different provinces. Not only the dishes are different, but even the rice is different. So it's normal. Link said with a smile. "Do you need me to help you with the food?"
"Of course not!"
