It's also a good time for Jessica to run for mayor of Fox. It's just that Link wasn't going to be selfish.

Jessica's feelings for Benehans, Link is in sight.

In addition to having two children, Jessica spends the rest of her time in charge of the Benehans Group. Link felt that she preferred to work hard in the business world.

So even though it was a good opportunity this time, Link didn't mention it again.

Fox steals [3] love from the mayor and the time comes to February 4th. World Cancer Day is here.

Link and Jessica leave the children in the care of Lady Hemmer, the nanny who is still there for them, and William, the housekeeper.

They flew to Seattle with Claire, Song Xianhe and others on Jessica's Gulfstream private jet.

Link and his wife arrived at the airport, and naturally someone was there to pick them up at the airport. Picked up by Martha and Carrick. They knew that there were a lot of people coming this time, so they brought four cars to pick up people.

Mr. and Mrs. Link got into Carrick and Martha's car. Carrick, Song Xianhe, and Brad and Hailey, who are already married, sit in another stretch car.

The other two were ridden by bodyguards brought specifically to Link.

The charity reception was held at the Seattle International Convention and Exhibition Center. It's a very modern building.

Since it's World Cancer Day. Of course, the organizers of the charity reception will not only invite business people, but also politicians and some people in the literary and artistic circles, including those in the entertainment industry.

According to the organizers, as many as 3,000 people will attend World Cancer Day in Seattle, who will come from all over the world.

If you want to accommodate so many people, you really need a very large venue. If you charter a hotel, it won't be like charity.

So UICC and HO got permission from the Seattle government to use the convention center for free today. There are several entrances to the convention center.

Among them, the main entrance is where you can walk the red carpet, where there is a large number of media and a large number of fans.

However, those who attend the reception will not be required to walk the red carpet. Some rich people are still very low-key. And the red carpet over there is for people who need exposure, such as those celebrities.

The cheers from the side of the main entrance came and went, and more people chose to enter the venue through a side gate that was no worse than the main entrance. The side door of this change actually has a red carpet, but there is not much media. Only a few media reporters from the major media outlets were there to keep watch. When someone comes, they take pictures. As for the fans, these rich people will ask how much is a pound?

Link and Jessica walked through the door arm-in-arm. At the entrance, a waiter led them in. There is a signature wall inside. Link: They all went up and signed.

A group of them walked into the venue, and there were already many people in the room. The venue was huge, and it was said that 3,000 people attended, but it seems that it was not built.

Link and his party are very eye-catching. These are all billionaires. One of them is a couple who are both ranked in the top 10 in the world. Three top billionaires with a net worth of more than $10 billion. There are also three super-rich people who are worth less than 10 billion, but they are also among the top 400 in the United States.

And they are all key members of the Ozette consortium, and they appear together, as if they want the outside world to show that the consortium is united.

Anyone who knew any of them would come out of town to greet them.

Link and they socialized for a while, and Claire, Song Xianhe, and Brad and his wife all took the initiative to socialize with other people they knew. Link doesn't need to take the initiative to talk to those people right now.

Martha doesn't have that plan yet. And Carrick is too lazy to go.

Jessica seemed to see the familiar person. She said to Link, "Honey, I'm going to have a few words with Speaker Colin. She knew Link should have something to say to Carrick. "Martha, are you going with you?"

Martha nodded and said, "I also want to talk to Speaker Colin about the Strus Factory land." She smiled at Carrick and nodded.

Link looked in the direction she had signaled, and the Speaker Colin was the Speaker of the Washington State House. He knew that Jessica should be talking to the other party about business. He nodded and said, "I'll come to you later." ”

After Jessica and the two left, Link saw Carrick looking at Martha's back, and couldn't help but say, "You haven't impressed Martha yet?"

Carrick turned his head and said with a very ambiguous smile on his face, "I said, can you assume that you don't know for the time being?"

"What is it?"

"Didn't you see Martha just nodded at me and smiled at me again?"

"I think she's giving you face as a partner. ”

"That's asking her man-me-opinion!" Carrick said, smiling. "Link, can I resign?"

Link frowned, but still said, "I said that if you feel like you've made enough money and don't want to do it anymore, I'm not going to object." But can I find out why?"

Carrick looked left and right and whispered, "Martha has accepted me." I went to her house yesterday, um, you know, I went out with her the next morning. He said with a smirk. "But she said it wouldn't be good for the company if she was with me. She was going to quit her job and then make her relationship public with me. ”

"So you're going to quit yourself?" Link didn't think about that reason. However, if the two top decision-makers of the Strus company become lovers, it may have a certain impact on the company. It can even take a hit to the stock price. "Does Martha know your decision?"

"I haven't told her yet. But if I resign, she won't have to. I know she loves her current job. ”

It's not that Link looks down on Carrick, but he also feels that Carrick's resignation is better than Martha's resignation.

Carrick's specialty is not management, but R&D. If Martha leaves, Link can't find the right person to take charge of Strus. Even if Carrick resigns as Strus's technical director, this guy can develop new software even at home. When the time comes, it would be good for Strus to sign a deal with him. That won't affect Strus's technology upgrades

Today, Martha owns 7% of Strus, while Carrick owns 15% and Link owns 33%. Martha is the most suitable candidate for president.

Link was thinking that if Martha and Carrick got married, they might have children soon. Martha was two years older than him. It should be thirty-three by now.

It's just that if Martha is pregnant, this guy Carrick may not let Martha go to work. Perhaps Martha saw Carrick clearly, and planned to resign from Strus as president to be with Carrick publicly.

But it's too early to think about it, and maybe after Carrick resigns, Martha will be able to convince him to let her go to work while she is pregnant. As for Martha's need to take care of the baby or other arrangements after giving birth, Link still has time to find a replacement for Martha. He nodded and said, "You can talk to Martha." ”

Link had been a little weird before. If Martha says that she is not interesting to Carrick, why has there been no rumors of any romance. Carrick was not explicitly rejected. I guess I'm worried about something.

Today, Strus is the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer, and Martha is a success. That's when Carrick was really accepted.

As they spoke, someone behind them called out to the two of them. They looked back and saw that it was Joshua Smith and his wife.

"Link, we shouldn't have seen each other in three months. It looks like you're looking pretty good. And Carrick, you look really energetic today. ”

Link shook hands with the couple with a smile and said with a smile, "You look good too." ”

The cooperation between Link and Garden has been smooth.

Smith also felt that working with Link was a rather wise decision. Link is running his own banking system though. However, Link's banking system does not have much competition with their Garden Bank. Link's banks are primarily aimed at agriculture and transportation. As for other industries, of course, there is competition, but the cooperation between the two sides is more than competition.

Then there is the unmanned logistics system that Garden Bank relies on to fully roll out its business in the United States without the resistance of other large banks. On top of that, Link showed no signs of snatching control of Garden Bank.

Although Link cross-swapped shares with Garden Bank with Ozette Bank Group's subsidiary, he has always maintained a fixed percentage of Garden Bank shares. This made Smith not worry that Link would take advantage of the cooperation to take control of Garden Bank. Link behaves very differently from other consortia in this regard.

With such a partner, Smith has no reason to be dissatisfied.

It's not just Smith who is happy with the partnership with Link. Kempner too.

Kempner was also invited to attend the event. When he saw Link, he took a glass of wine from the trays of acclimatization that passed by.

"Hi Link. Was the trip to Africa enjoyable?"

"Kempner, I've been back for almost half a month. Link joked. "But it was a delightful ride. ”

Kempner greeted a few more people before he smiled and said, "You know I've been busy lately. I forgot to ask you for a postcard. ”

Kempner is now the president of the National Association for Cruelty-Free Food Standards.

Today, all 50 states in the United States have recognized the pollution-free food standard. However, this standard, like the green food standard, is only a reference for the selection of food.

Because of the seed problem, the pollution-free food standard cannot completely replace genetically modified food for the time being.

At least that's the case in the United States!

There are not many non-GMO seeds in the United States, other than those produced by the Benehans Group.

The rapid recognition of pollution-free food standards in the United States in just two years is due to the promotion of seeds by the Benihans Group, which has been careful to circumvent antitrust laws in the United States for more than two years. However, Jessica is already preparing to license some of the seed patents to other seed companies.

Now, of course, the Benis Institute is already working on the seeds of the third generation.

Kempner is now very interested in promoting pollution-free food standards, and he has spoken and promoted all over the United States.

Link could see that he was really moving towards a political goal.

He had seen some of Kempner's speeches. There are already some implications for current agricultural policy.

Kempner is now known for his stake in several banks. After those banks went public, Kempner's assets now exceed $10 billion. Kempner had enough money to run for office, even if he didn't have anyone else's funding. Even if it is an American campaign, he will not be short of money.
