Chapter 563: Conspiracy

Receiving information from Oloro Rowe, Link approached Douglas and asked him to send someone to China to track down the final destination of the Chinese-printed labels.

That might be a bit of a hassle. If the final destination of those labels is the United States, then you need to trace the whereabouts of those items from the U.S. Customs side from the shipping method and consignee information found by the trader. It may also be necessary to trace the consignee, the shipping company, and so on.

But these things are not difficult for Douglas.

Link returns to Hans's Farm overnight and talks to Jessica in bed about working with Oloro Law that night.

After Jessica listened, she said, "So you're just planning to work with him on the alpaca project?"

"That's right. If we have a good relationship, we can also consider working with him on Benis 1. ”

Jessica laughed and said, "It's safer to do that." I'll have people talk to him. ”

Link thought for a moment and then said, "He also revealed a piece of news to me. ”

"What's the news?"

"There's a farm in the north-central Queens, Australia, that has a million acres of land that is interested in selling. ”

Jessica was a little surprised when she heard this: "A million acres of land for sale? a single farm? That could be the largest single farm in the world." ”

"Probably not. I've heard that there are bigger farms in Australia. That's big enough, though. ”

"What kind of farm is that? You want to buy it?"

Link pondered for a moment and said, "I hope the Benehans Group will buy it." You know that there is very little land in Bennihance. As an agricultural company, this is not normal. "His land is a lot, but it's not Benehans'. "The farm belonged to an Irish family. The family is said to have lived in Australia for more than two hundred and fifty years, running a beef company. They have a total of four million acres of farm, on which they used to raise 20,000 to 40,000 head of cattle. ”

"It doesn't sound like it's a good idea to develop agriculture. ”

Link said with a smile: "The climate in the Australian outback can only support so many animals. But the farm is on the edge of the Great Artesian Basin and has groundwater. It's just not suitable for irrigation, and there is a lot of bush and woods there. You know, it's a zone where the tropical monsoon climate meets the tropical desert climate. The climate is very unstable. ”

"If that's the case, I don't think it's necessarily a good investment. ”

Benehans did need land, but not for food or meat. It requires land, and the more important use is for the base of improved seeds. If there is no abundant water supply, no matter how big the land is, it will not make much difference.

"Listen to me, baby!" Link disagreed. "They sold it because they had lost a lot of money in the past few years. First of all, there was a major drought for several years, and all the cattle were concentrated in low-lying areas where the groundwater was shallow and grass could grow. Last year, a sudden flood killed more than 10,000 cattle. They felt that the climate was becoming more and more elusive, and that the climate on that farm was too variable. That's why I'm going to sell it. But we have the means. ”

"What's the solution? Desalination water? Link, that's a million acres. ”

"We can't have a million acres of land to cultivate. Link said with a smile and shook his head. "Australian law requires the protection of vegetation, so it's great that we can find 100,000 acres of land that can be developed for arable land, and we can use the rest of the land to raise alpacas. Artesian well water is just right to supply drinking water for alpacas. ”

He paused and said, "There is a rainy season every year, and we can build some reservoirs to store water." At the same time, some artesian wells were dug to desalinate the purified water. It is used to irrigate cultivated land. Arable land can be grown with pasture or wheat seeds. Maybe we can build the first breeding base outside the United States there. ”

Jessica thought about the price of seeds, and if she could occupy half of Australia's seed market, it didn't seem unacceptable to invest in desalination projects.

But she was reluctant to take the risk, saying, "Maybe we should send someone to investigate first." ”

Link nodded and said, "Of course." However, it is possible to register a subsidiary there at the same time. More convenient to do. ”

Any country is wary of foreign companies. It may be difficult for the Benehans Group to buy such a large piece of land directly in the name of an American company. But registering a company in Australia is completely different. Regardless of what the company is, it is more convenient to register in Australia.

It doesn't cost much to register a company, and Jessica has no reason to object to it. She nodded and said, "I'll get people ready to go to Australia tomorrow." But how much do you think it's going to cost to buy there?"

Link thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it will be more than $200 million." ”

A million acres is indeed a very large piece of land, but the problem is that the yield per unit area there is very low. It takes thirty acres to feed a cow, and the land value is absolutely as low as a desert. That kind of land isn't worth much. As for mines, there are a lot of mines in Australia, but if there were mines in the ground of that farm, it would have been explored a long time ago.

While the Links were discussing in bed, Douglas, who was at the Venetian Hotel, received a call from his men. He frowned and said, "Lost again?" Roger, is his anti-detection ability too strong, or is your ability degraded? This is the third time you have been embarrassed!"

……

Douglas was a little annoyed: "No next time, Roger! If you can't keep an eye on him, I can have someone help you!"

At this time, Douglas's followers were plotting with someone in a Miami bar.

Florida is located in the tropics, but this winter's winter has made Florida surprisingly cold, especially at night. Tonight's weather in Florida is even more humid and cold, which makes most people prefer to stay in heated homes.

Of course, Florida bars are still packed, even if it's close to the wee hours of the morning.

In a bar where white collar workers like to try their luck and find sexual encounters, the light of a table in the far corner is particularly dim. Two men could be seen sitting and talking at the table. It's just that their voices are in the sound of music in the bar, and they can't be heard at all if they don't get close.

One of these two men is none other than Luke Truss, who Link has been following lately.

And the other one, if Link was there, would have recognized it.

That was Claude Roth, Link's previous collaborator in that "gold mine".

"Man, we have to go according to the plan. Too soon, too late, and the timing is wrong. ”

"Listen, Luke! I'm in a bad place right now. We must complete this plan as soon as possible. Claude Ross whispered. "It took me two hours today to get rid of the stalker. If this continues, I don't know if they're going to sink me straight into the Gulf of Mexico. ”

Luke Truss flew to Miami overnight because of a phone call from Claude Ross to convince him, and of course it was impossible to agree to his request to complete their plan as soon as possible.

His plan must be executed rigorously. The person he planned to calculate this time could pinch him to death with a single finger. If he makes a mistake, not to mention that he can't get the money, he may not even be able to save his life.

"If you think about it, that's a billion dollars," he said. With a billion dollars, we can go anywhere. ”

"Before the $200 million, I thought I could go anywhere. But now I'm fed up with these days of not going out. I don't want to risk waiting any longer. No one can guarantee how much patience he still has. ”

"So you should be more calm now. As long as Link Hans can't find out about the existence of other people, he won't do anything to you. Think about it, what would you do if someone cheated you out of 1.25 billion?"

"Of course, let him evaporate from the world!"

"That's it. But he clearly knows you're here, and even makes people stare at you. But he didn't do anything to you, he must have tried to find someone else from you. As long as neither I nor anyone else shows up, you'll be fine. I can guarantee that you can go out and live your good life as much as you like. You can act like no one is following you. The more relaxed you are now, the more relaxed they will be to keep an eye on you. Only then will the chances of success be higher when you want to leave. Of course, now you have managed to get rid of them as well. So believe in yourself, you will leave the United States safely with the last 200 million and this time 500 million. ”

Seeing that he was no longer talking, Luke Truss poured him a glass of wine, picked up the glass and put it in his hand, picked up his own again and touched it with him, saying: "The world is big, and there are many places we can go." Now, all you need to do is provide enough ingredients. You can guarantee the supply of raw materials, right?"

"If you're willing to get it faster, I can get enough ingredients in two weeks. ”

"No! we can't be in a hurry. The number of Blue Lagoon wines is counted. If the delivery is too fast, it will make people suspicious. Plus, you'll have trouble invoicing. ?”

"OK! I'll be able to supply all the ingredients in two weeks' time, as planned. ”

"Good, man! We'll only need half a year. Half a year from now, you and I will be safe from the United States. Whether it's Africa, Asia, or South America, you can go anywhere. Live the life of a rich man anywhere. You can even have a facelift and then change your identity to make a splash in the business world. Luke Truss said and clinked glasses with Claude Ross again. "I wish our plan a perfect success!"
