Jessica returned to the lab with the company's researchers yesterday and was busy working overnight to compile patent applications, and had to deal with the police, and she didn't sleep well at night. After all this, she only felt that her whole body was exhausted.

She came to her office here, collapsed directly on the sofa, and then took out her mobile phone and dialed Link: "Honey, how are you over there, have you found someone?"

Link received her call, listened to the tiredness that couldn't be hidden in her voice, and said with some distress: "If you're tired, go home and rest for a while." ”

"I'm fine, I just was too busy. Now it's time to rest. Jessica heard that Link didn't answer her question, and thought she hadn't found anyone yet. "It doesn't matter if the person is not found. Now we've called the police. And it has also applied for a patent. ”

Link thought about it for a moment, and didn't intend to tell her the truth. That wasn't a good thing, and there was no need to let her know, "I know." By the way, you have time, and give me a summary of the stolen data. ”

Jessica casually responded: "I'll have someone summarize it right away." ”

"The security of the company, I think it needs to be strengthened. I'll arrange it, can I?"

Jessica laughs and says, "The company is actually yours." You have no problem arranging it, of course. ”

Link also smiled and said, "I plan to carry out semi-military management of the laboratory, which may give the research institute and the experimenters some bad feelings." ”

Jessica pondered for a moment and said, "I think they can understand." After all, this happened. ”

"Then I'll arrange it. Link paused and said. "By the way, this time their research has come to fruition, maybe the company should give them some rewards. ”

Link had told her about this, and even mentioned the issue of options. So Jessica didn't object, saying, "Is it a cash reward or an option?"

"Give the cash prize first, five million dollars. The matter of options can also be ventilated in advance. When the results of the corn and soybean seed research come out, we will give options. ”

"Good. ”

"That's it, take a break!"

Jessica hung up the phone, but didn't rest. She got up from the couch and was stunned for a moment, thinking that Link was hiding something from her.

She sat in a daze for a moment before going to the lab to look for Flolin.

She told the researchers about the prize money, and said, "I also plan to give 2.5% of my shares and yours as options for the institute! ”

Florin thought for a moment and said, "As for the cash, I'll make a list of rewards later." I don't have a problem with options. ”

Giving researchers options increases their loyalty to the company, and if they had had options, they might not have been so easily stolen from the experiment.

Although only the option award was divided from his and his daughter's shares. But Link injected more than 200 million last time and did not ask for an increase in shares. Comparatively speaking, Link still suffered.

Jessica took a sip of her black coffee and frowned bitterly, but it also lifted her spirits a bit. And she said, "And, Daddy." The safety experiments of our products are also going to be accelerated. ”

Florin nodded and said, "I've already started to prepare." "The safety experiment of grain seeds is relatively simple, after all, it is not genetically modified food. But zombie fungi and bacteria and viruses must pass safety experiments. That's not just the impact on people, it's also about the environment.

Transgenic and hybrid are both exchanges of genes, and it can even be said that what they do is hybridization with very deep human factor control. But the difference between genetically modified and non-genetically modified organisms is whether or not a heterologous gene is used to transfer it to a specific organism.

Their high-yielding genes, although they are passed on to the genes, are taken from the same kind of genes. No matter how deep the degree of human intervention is, it is not genetically modified. Such a product, of course, will be much easier to do than a genetically modified product in terms of safety experiments.

However, it is necessary to see whether those products will mutate and produce toxic proteins.

"Did Bill Jerome find it?" Florin asked suddenly.

Jessica shook her head, shook her head and said, "Not yet, Link is still looking." ”

She's not a fool either, she didn't react for a moment just now. But she woke up when she hung up. If Link didn't find Bill Jerome, why did he need all that stolen data?

She thought that Link had already found someone and had the experimental data in his hands, and wanted to check if the data he found was stolen. Link finds it but hides it from her, which makes her think that Link might have to use violence that no one wants to see. Even has been used.

But she didn't want anyone to know about it, not even her father.

She also told Link that he was going to increase the security of the lab. She emphasized, "Dad, I think Link's approach is also for the safety of the research lab. That might be a bit inconvenient for the lab's work, but I think that's the best way to avoid the same thing from happening. ”

Florin pondered for a moment, but did not object, but said, "I support it in principle, but I want you to consider the privacy of the engineers." ”

Jessica nodded and said, "Of course." We're just really targeted to strengthen management. By the way, Dad, I want a summary of the data that was stolen. ”

"I've got it here. I'll give it to you. ”

After Jessica got the data, she said, "Dad, I recommend that all computers that save experimental data in the future should not be connected to the Internet." We'll have an extra computer for each engineer. ”

"Even though the computers on which engineers store their data don't have much internet access, they do need to be precautionary. I will establish a system for information security. Ask them not to take the data out of the lab. And lock the computer where the data is stored. ”

"It's a good idea to have some restrictions on who researchers have access to what level of experimental data. ”

"That's a good suggestion. Florin thought for a moment and said. "I'll work out a new management method in consultation with other researchers. ”

"Okay, then I'll go first. ”

After Jessica left the lab, she returned to her office and passed the data to Link. And gave him a call.

Link received the data, checked the data from the USB flash drive that Douglas had returned, and when he found it correct, he deleted all the data completely.

He felt that this was the end of the matter. But when he thought of Bill Jerome, he felt a little irritable, and he couldn't calm down when he stayed at home. He couldn't stay in the villa any longer, so he went to find Martha.

Martha is now the president of the newly formed investment company, and the company has moved to a new office building. It was just a modest seven-story building, and it looked pretty old from the outside.

Link finds Martha's office.

Martha is looking at some application documents. Seeing him, he quickly stood up and said, "Link, why did you come suddenly?"

Link said with a smile: "I came to Las Vegas to see how the company is doing." He said and sat directly at his desk.

Martha sat down and asked the secretary to pour coffee in, and then smiled and said, "The company is basically going well." ”

Link's first reaction when he heard her words was to ask, "What's the trouble?"

"At the noodle restaurant in Houston, Texas, two of them were having a hard time. They were harassed by local hooligans. We are looking for a solution. ”

"Houston is located east of Houston?" Link said thoughtfully. "When?"

"Yes, those two stores are indeed East Houston. They have been targeted since they opened. We have turned to the police for help. At the same time, a monitoring system was installed in the store. However, there are a few stores that still dare not open at night due to location problems. ”

"Are there any casualties?"

"Nope. At first, I encountered a smash. However, after calling the police, the other party usually finds fault or makes trouble. The business of those two stores is very bad. ”

"Is that happening in other Texas cities?"

"No reports like that were found. Martha said. "I think it's an action against us. ”

Link probably had an idea of what was going on. He thought for a moment and said, "I know about this." Have more questions?"

"Yes. You know, now we're promoting pasta to help the homeless start their own businesses, and it's working pretty well. The people of our four newly built Hanse apartments wanted to be part of the project, and because there were so many people who were rejected, there were some negative rumors. But our PR team reacted. ”

"There are a lot of people applying now?"

"In the last batch of applicants, there were more than 900 applications from low-rent apartment residents in Las Vegas alone, all of which met the requirements. Residents of low-rent apartments in four cities, including Miami and Chicago, who meet the application criteria, have also applied. ”

"How did you deal with it?"

"We have published the criteria for the selection of investment targets, and at the same time try to create jobs for those who do not meet the criteria. ”

"Are the other residents dissatisfied?"

"That's for sure. Everyone thinks they have what it takes to start a business. I think we rejected them. However, these grievances are not strong. Because our screening criteria and methods are open, and we are also creating jobs for them as much as possible. At best, they complained. However, the outside media is amplifying this dissatisfaction. ”

Link nodded and said, "If anything changes, let me know in time." ”

Martha hesitated for a moment and said, "Link, I have a suggestion. ”

"You say. ”

"I would advise the low-rent apartment program not to expand for the time being, because if it does, we will be very limited in the employment assistance we can provide. In addition, if there are too many low-rent apartments, the investment in the noodle shop will seem to be too much porridge and too little. ”

Link waved his hand and said, "I don't plan to set up new low-rent apartments for the time being, but if the time is right, there will still be more." But I never made a promise to help everyone find a stable job. We can help them gain new skills through some free training. I think such help, for them, is enough. ”

"The outside media has combined our noodle promotion program with the low-rent apartment program. This makes our low-cost apartments very popular. But it also added a lot of pressure to us. Too many people apply to move in, even if they are not in the state. And they are all eligible to stay. ”

She paused for a moment and added, "Of course, this will help shape your reputation." But that's problematic too. Their expectations were too great for us to meet. And we're worried about a shortage of funds. ”
