In Huazhou in February, the cold air in the Arctic Ocean is no longer raging, and the temperature has already risen to above zero degrees Celsius. Today's temperature is around 10 degrees. Still, it was very windy today. Especially at the seaside, waves hitting the reef can cause a splash of seven or eight meters.

Link would be at the beach, where he was taken by Brad Affleck and Hayley Rachel to a shore west of Enibe. Visit the 10-acre experimental sea area they applied to.

Brad Affleck is still wooden, and Hayley Rachel is still full of spirits.

As they stood on the side of the road, Rachel pointed to the sea in the distance and said, "Mr. Hans, that's our experimental sea area." When the water temperature reaches 14 degrees Celsius, we can plant the kelp seedlings that we have grown in the lab. ”

They've already taken Link on a tour of their humble lab. Their lab was no better than a garage, an abandoned warehouse, and they spent money to clean it up, but luckily they were doing experiments that didn't require much of a test environment.

They have cultivated a new batch of kelp seedlings in the last two or three months. And with the support of the state government, they rented a sea area at a low price for them to experiment.

"I want to know how confident you are in the results of your experiments. I need the truth. ”

Rachel exclaimed, earnestly, "Mr. Hans, any experiment is likely to fail. We've done the best we can with our expertise, and it's up to nature to see how well nature accepts what we've cultivated. ”

Link listened to her nonsense and said with a smile: "Then you can guarantee that your results and your previous results do not have any patent disputes?"

"Of course not. Brad has the best say in this. Because both kinds of macroalgae were mainly studied by him. ”

Affleck said in a deep voice: "Mr. Hans, in simple terms, it is two kinds of giant algae that have been bred in different cultivation methods. The previous one was not too stable and prone to shape separation, but what we are working on now, if it succeeds, will result in more stable traits. ”

Link squinted at the sea for a while before he said, "So, your experiment this time is probably not the best result?"

Affleck pushed his heavy glasses and said, "You can say that! But if I succeed, it means that my research direction is not wrong." This is a crucial step. As long as this step is successful, the rest will be much easier. ”

Link smiled and suddenly said, "And how much money do you need to ensure the success of the experiment?"

Rachel immediately said, "If our luck isn't too bad, three hundred thousand dollars is almost enough." ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "I invest half a million yuan, but I want 50% of the experimental results." What do you think? If the results are close to what you said, I can use the sea area near Ozette for production, and build a nursery and dock in Ozette, and I will have a 51 percent stake in the project. And the project will never be on the market. What do you think of the conditions?"

"I think if we should have a 50 percent stake. "In fact, 49% of the shares, Rachel and Affleck are acceptable. They had been through an investment before, but it was a profound experience for both of them. And before they were three people, but now they are two people, so what they get in that way is not small.

"That can't be, Hayley!" Link said with a laugh. "You see, there are two of you and I only have one, and if I can't own more than half of the shares, I won't be able to guarantee the purity of the project. ”

"If a project does not have more than five shareholders, or if five of them have more than 75% of the shares, it will be considered a private company," Affleck said suddenly. All profits will be treated as dividends, which are subject to a high personal income tax. ”

"The IRS teaches us not to be so selfish. Isn't it?" said Link with a laugh. "We can pay dividends, but we can reinvest, which gives you the opportunity to reduce taxes. ”

"And if your project really has the good prospects you say, I think you can still become a billionaire in no time without the high personal income tax. ”

Link looked at the two of them, smiled and said, "You know, over there, you're probably going to have at least 80,000 acres of sea to grow your giant algae. ”

Affleck said calmly: "That is a great prospect indeed. But I think maybe you're going to have to build a lot of factories. ”

"Of course that's fine. Link laughs. "You know, I'm pretty rich. If we can cooperate, I can leave the management of the project to you. My favorite thing is to sit and collect money. ”

Affleck thought for a moment, then looked at Rachel and said, "If you don't mind the condition that you need to invest more than 20 million in three years, we can accept your condition." ”

Link looked into his eyes, and from his eyes there was nothing but seriousness and seriousness. He smiled and said, "It seems that you have a lot of faith." ”

"Yes, I think you'd better have some fishing boats ready before June. ”

"When we sign the cooperation agreement, I will be ready. "If the algae were as good as Affleck said, once the algae was planted on a large scale, he would really need some fishing boats to get the project running. For example, harvesting and transporting the giant algae requires specialized vessels. Otherwise, there are so many macroalgae, and perhaps those fishing boats need to be harvested continuously to ensure maximum economic efficiency.

"If we don't have anything else to discuss, I think I can have my lawyer agree with you on the terms of the contract. ”

"Of course. It's a pleasure to work with!" Rachel is of course very happy to have investors come to her door. was kicked out by a partner before, which was a very embarrassing thing. Fortunately, Affleck also kept a hand and did not say the latest experimental ideas. Now I can cooperate with Link, and I can get such a large sea area as a planting base. They can certainly develop much better than that bastard of Jason Twain.

I just don't know what that bastard's face would have been like if he knew they were going to work with Link Hans.

The matter was settled, and Link did not continue to stay in Ernibedos. On the way back to Mora Manor, he played video with little Hannah, and although little Hannah could only speak a single word, even hearing her babbling voice made him feel satisfied.

This time he planned to stay in Orzet for two days to see how the work on Mora Manor was progressing, and to see what problems he needed to solve. And he also has to check if the cellar is in order.

It was still Tahra who took care of Mora's estate for Link. He was also one of the first workers on the Ozette Farm, and he has always been very steady.

In the evening, Tahra brought another fish that Link couldn't name.

It has to be said that Tahera is a very good fisherman who can fish with a small net in Lake Ozet.

Speaking of fishing, Tahra can't help but talk about his fishing experience: "In three months, sockeye salmon can be caught in the northeastern seas, and the people of Dhaka like to use big-eyed gillnets to intercept sockeye salmon that migrate to the Fraser River in Canada to spawn." ”

Link saw that this would be idle, so he chatted with him: "I've heard of this salmon, I've heard that the flesh is red. ”

"That's right. Chicken plate people like to eat the most, and they are also the largest market. The main production of sockeye salmon is in the United States, but mainly in Alaska. In August, Alaska harvested 15,000 tonnes a day at its peak. But Alaska also has a short fishing season. ”

"It's a pity that we have so many rivers on our farm, but no sockeye salmon," Tahra gushes. You don't know that that kind of fish has a high oil content and is best eaten fried, but chicken pan people like to eat it raw. I think if we had sockeye salmon here, the yield would have been high. ”

Link laughs, "I also hope they will be willing to spawn at Ozette Farm." He knew that salmon were migratory fish and would only migrate until they were born. "It's a pity they don't seem to like Ozette. ”

"The river in Ozete was too small. It would be nice if there was some large, calm water upstream, and I heard that sockeye salmon like to spawn in that kind of water. I just don't know if they like the climate here. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "They don't necessarily like the climate here. "Salmon migrate at different times in different rivers. Does that mean that these salmon will know the most suitable breeding time in their birthplace?

If the sea near Ozette is indeed planted with kelp in the future, it will form a large natural breeding ground for marine life. In the future, marine fishing can be developed. Fishing inshore is much less risky than distant-water fishing. If sockeye salmon is added, this is a relatively high price species......

Maybe he could really try to see if he could think of a new sockeye salmon migration area in the waters of Ozette.

If it does, it will be the first case in the world, and the reputation of Ozette Farm will be increased by this. As for the cost, he thinks it shouldn't be too high. Maybe he can go back and talk to Jeff about it and see if he can do it.

Tahera talked for a while, and then left until it was dark.

Feng Zi cooked and ate by himself.

Looking out of the window, there was a construction site not far away, and it was brightly lit.

There is a newly built castle and a villa. At the beginning, the designer was invited to follow his request, but the designer said that such a villa did not match the status of the winery of Ozette. However, the villa he is living in has also been lightly renovated.

The designer's opinion he thought was good. Now this villa is indeed enough for a ranch, but it does not seem to have enough style for a winery. So the core building of Mora Manor is the castle that is being built at that site.
