Chapter 628: The Old Tale Comes Again
When Link picks up Ololo, he notices that he seems to be walking inappropriately, and it seems that his knees are weak.
He cared.
Oloro said with a gentle look, "This is a mark of love from the Chinese tradition. ”
Link showed a look of surprise and said with a smile, "You and Mrs. Luo are really in love!"
"Haha!" Oloro said laughing. "Who can a man love if he doesn't love his wife?" he had a smile on his face, but tears were streaming in his heart. His feet were not weak, but painful.
Last night, while staying at a San Francisco hotel, his wife went to go for a beauty treatment, when a beautiful woman knocked on the door and broke in without saying a word.
Although he pretends to be amorous, he is a clean man in the core, how could he do such a deal with such a woman. He was still negotiating with the woman to get her to leave immediately, and his wife came back with a perfect look.
The woman glanced at his wife and walked away with her ass twisted. But he couldn't explain it reasonably, and knelt for nearly an hour to hang his wooden clothes.
It was a hotel hanger, nearly an inch thick. He swore that he would rather kneel on the board relatively speaking.
If it weren't for the fact that he had something to do today, he might have knelt for a little longer. Speaking of which, he also has to thank Link.
They went to the alpaca breeding ground on a farm in Southern Oregon. Seeing the undulating mountain grasslands, Ololo sighed to Link: "I thought my farm in Australia was big enough, but compared to your farm, it's just scum." He also has a large farm in Australia, but there is very little land available. And most of the land on the farms in Southern Oregon is usable. Whether it's arable land, meadows, or woodland.
Link laughs, "The farm is only 30,000 acres in size for the time being, and the number of alpacas raised is more than 58,000, but it's still very relaxed. ”
"So can we go see those alpacas?"
"Of course, they automatically dispersed in small groups, and we could take a helicopter to find them. ”
They circled over the meadow in a farm helicopter and could easily spot the alpacas. White, black, and conspicuous in the green grass.
They did not dare to fly too low. Because baby alpacas are sensitive, and most of them are pregnant, they are prone to miscarriage after being frightened.
Amid the noise of the engine, Ololo shouted, "Will the alpacas that are being sold to me be chosen from these alpacas?"
Link also replied loudly: "No, these alpacas are the parents of the breeding farm. The alpaca you want is kept in a special area. They are not yet adults. ”
The area is on the edge of the development field, but it's far from the entrance, and the road is bumpy to drive. That's why Link proposed to take a helicopter ride.
Ololo looks like an expert in animal farming, and he examines not only the alpacas' physical signs, but also their coat quality. Finally, I found the droppings of alpacas in the grass and observed them. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked Link for a quarantine certificate.
Link certainly has proof of that.
The two parties signed a contract for the sale and purchase of 1,000 baby alpacas. After the contract was signed, Ololo shook hands with Link and said, "Happy working together, Link." My partner is looking to bring in baby llamas in Australia. If we get permission, we may be able to work together again. ”
Baby alpacas have relatively low feed requirements, and those in Australia's arid regions have low forage yields, so breeding alpacas is a good choice. Some of the 1,000 alpacas he now buys are for his farm in Australia. But the number is still too small. It takes a long time to breed to meet the needs of Australian farms, so he prefers to buy from Link.
A baby alpaca sells for five thousand dollars, and Link certainly wouldn't say no to such a business. "I'm looking forward to working together again," he laughs. He paused and added. "Speaking of your farm in Australia, how is the desalination project going?"
"Everything went well. We have completed 70% of the civil works. It is expected to be put into use by the end of this year. Oloro smiled so hard that there was only a slit left in his eyes. For that project, he dug up six million dollars from Link. "I've heard that you have that kind of dilution project in Africa. How's it going?"
It was already a public thing, and Link didn't deny it, saying, "Still digging the reservoir." "His projects are bigger and will definitely take longer.
After drinking wine to celebrate the success of the cooperation, Lin Ke sent Oloro away. He also told the breeding farm that it was going to send 1,000 baby alpacas to New Zealand in batches. Then we take care of the rest of the farm.
…………
After Jesse became pregnant, Link became more hectic. Just looking at the reports sent by various companies every day can take him three or four hours to read them. After returning home from Oregon, he made another trip to Africa. There was something wrong with the planning of the demonstration farm there, and he needed to go and see it in person.
After dealing with Africa, he was going to Texas to attend the board of directors of the Texas Development Bank on the listing of the company.
By mid-August, Martha went to Huazhou to look for him. Talk to him about going to China, those mobile phone manufacturers in China to negotiate.
After that, he received a call from Tommy Cockline, inviting him to MGM to participate in the board of directors.
MGM's board of directors this time is only a summary of the first half of the year, which can only be regarded as a regular meeting.
Cockeline invited him for another reason. After the board meeting, he invited Link to the office for a talk.
Link was going to be very busy, and he was a little puzzled about what he invited him to talk about: "Tommy, just tell me what you want." You know I'm busy right now!"
After pouring two glasses of red wine, Coklein said, "Then I'll just say it." Do you remember the Inter Nathan International Cinema Line?"
Link recalled for a moment and said, "Yes. I remember that your Cocklain family owns 54% of it. "At the beginning, Cockline had a problem with cash flow, and he used it to mortgage and borrow from him.
"Yes, we have a controlling stake in this cinema chain. It now has 68 cinemas with a total of 540 screens, all of which can show 3D movies. ”
Link remembers that there were five hundred and ten screening halls before, and it seems that some have been added recently. However, he didn't understand what the other party was trying to convey when he said this: "You need cash flow again?"
"That's right. We need funding now. I remember you were very interested in movies. I heard that the filming of "Moon Pupil" has been completed. ”
"That's right, it's doing post-production and stunts. ”
"Haven't you ever thought you would have your own theater?"
Link certainly thought about it, and there was a chance before. It's just that he gave up because he was worried about financial problems: "If there is a suitable acquisition target, of course I am also interested." ”
Cockeline shook his glass and said, "What do you think of the Inter Nathan International Cinemas?"
Link looked at him, saw that he was serious, and smiled and said, "So how much are you going to sell it for? But don't say it's 1.3 billion dollars? "Before, he was just a mortgage loan and he could ignore it, but now it's about the deal.
"Six hundred million dollars. "Cockeline offered a price. "It's worth the price now. ”
Link laughed and said, "Tommy, if you really want to sell, you should give a more realistic price. Otherwise, I wouldn't have considered it. "Five hundred and forty screens, of course, can't be worth $600 million.
But Cockeline has his reasons: "The Intra International Cinema chain is different from other cinemas. It owns most of these cinema chains. So it's worth more. ”
Hearing him say that, Link can see if it's worth it. He thought for a moment and said, "Can you give me relevant information, I need to see how many assets it has." "Property prices are different in different cities, and in different areas of the same city. The location of those movie theaters is very important for asset valuation.
Cockeline nodded and said, "If you're interested, of course you can get it." ”
"Of course I'm interested, but I need to evaluate it before I can make a decision," Link laughs. ”
“OK。 I have people put the data together. It may take a little time, though. ”
As he spoke, the phone rang at his desk. Cockeline went over to answer the phone, and after a moment of listening, his face turned a little ugly.
He hung up and said to Link, "Link needs to take care of something right now. Maybe you can play a little bit at the casino. I can hand you over the materials in an hour at most! ”
Link looked at his watch and said, "Then I'll play for a while." ”
Coklein smiled and said, "Then I'm out of company." Also, I implore you not to play too much! we can't afford to lose. ”
He's not kidding, there's no casino right now that can keep its composure when it sees Link enter. Link used to gamble just to win a little money, but now if Link wants to, it's entirely possible for him to win the casino. That's how the Venetian Hotel came into his hands.
Cockein instructed the casino manager to greet Link for him.
The casino manager took Link to the VIP room and said with a smile, "Mr. Hans, I don't know what you want to play?"
"I'll just do it myself. Link wasn't used to being followed by outsiders like this. He told Tiger to help him change his chips.
When the casino manager heard that he had only exchanged $200,000 in chips — the minimum entry standard for VIP casinos — the casino quickly offered him 200,000 chips.
Link smiled and said, "After all, I am also a shareholder of the casino, and people will gossip about taking the casino's money." He said and let Tiger change the chips.
