Chapter 263 Step by step layout
Link asked some questions about the negotiation papers, and finally nodded to Martha and said, "I have no problem with these conditions." But isn't the risk too great?"
He said that the attached project risk analysis report at the end, the biggest risk on it was that he would lose all his money.
This risk report was made by Morris, so he answered Link with this question: "That's just the worst possible outcome." If there are no administrative variables in the project, the project is likely to be profitable. ”
"First of all, most of this investment is in the textile industry locally, which is a physical investment, and alpaca fabrics are more popular in the international market," he explains. As long as it is operating normally, it is unlikely that it will lose money. The second part is the expenditure for operating the alpaca breeding farm. This part of the expenditure, the largest amount, is to pay the rent of the parent alpaca. But local farmers won't just want money, alpaca cubs, they will ask for too. So our spending may not be as high as it was reported. ”
"According to our plan, we will use the breeding farm to acquire more than 100,000 alpaca cubs within five years," Martha said. All shipped within the United States. The cost of those alpaca calves is estimated to be only $200 a piece, and if fertility is guaranteed, it could be even lower. However, we also need to pay a tax for each alpaca export, and we will probably need to pay a benefit fee to the local officials for each alpaca. About fifty dollars. ”
On the terms of their negotiations, the alpaca breeding center in Peru would be handed over entirely to the Peruvian government after five years. And what they get is a five-year free use of a large area of grassland.
"If we hand over the breeding center to them, will we be shocked if we want to breed alpacas in the future? After all, they have the largest alpaca base in the world. ”
"Boss, our strength is not in numbers, but in technology. Morris said with a smile. "We are very mature in GMO technology for living things. Even without GM technology, we can breed alpaca breeds with higher wool yields and greater adaptability. ”
Link is very disgusted by the unbridled use of GM technology in food, but he is not absolutely opposed to GMO. He feels that as long as it does not cause harm to the human body, genetically modified organisms should be used and should still be used.
For example, he thinks that there is no need for criticizing scientists for using genetically modified technology to make sheep produce better fiber. Not only do the fibers not cause harm to the human body, but on the contrary, they can also improve the economic efficiency of sheep. That's a good thing!
So he wouldn't object to the use of GM technology in alpacas. Anyway, he didn't plan to make money by selling alpacas.
As long as the wool production increases, and the fiber produced will not be dangerous in contact with the human body, he doesn't care how the wool comes from.
"So in your report you propose to invite experts in this field to work in Peru?"
Morris nodded and said, "Yes." In addition, we should also invite some animal embryo transfer experts to work. Maybe we can take advantage of the local environment and gain some experience in those jobs in advance. That will be of great help to the boss to promote alpaca farming in the future. ”
Link thought about it for a moment and said, "Then draw up an agreement according to this copy." However, there is one thing that ordinary breeding techniques can be taught to them. The implication is that embryo transfer and GM technology cannot be mastered by the Peruvian side.
Arranged for Martha and Morris to leave.
Within two days, Link flew to Peru again and signed an agreement for the alpaca project. He had to pay $50 million first, and Martha's side was going to find a project manager right away. After signing the agreement, Link will leave it to her to deal with.
And he stayed in Peru for only one day, and then flew back to the United States.
Early the next morning after returning to the United States, he went to Fox. There were also wandering journalists here, and he coped with two. Then I went to the town hall to find Kemp. He wants to build a bank and needs local support. This support will certainly not be a request for financial support, but only a policy one.
Camp has been waiting for him for the bank for quite some time. He had persuaded the city council to grant a plot of land for Link to build a building, believing that he would not set up a bank until the building was completed. I didn't expect him to start acting so quickly.
Link's establishment of a local bank is certainly a great thing for a town like Fox. Kemp almost patted his chest and said he would help him with all his worries.
Link thought about setting up a bank so quickly, mainly to better manage some projects. For example, he is about to go to the project of peace talks with Song Xian. Without his planned development bank, the project would not have worked.
After leaving the city hall, he went to the Song Chinese Restaurant. At this time, it was not yet time to eat, and there were not many people in the store. The cashier in the store saw him and immediately went to inform Song Xianhe.
Maybe Jessica and the other party mentioned before that Link would come to talk about cooperation. Song Xianhe was not surprised to know that Link was coming, and he and Link sat in the corner of the restaurant.
After Song Xianhe sat down, he got straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Hans, Jessica and I mentioned it." Do you want to promote my pasta here across the United States?"
Link nodded and said, "Yes." Of course, I know that if you want to make pasta, you can't just do it. So, I hope to get your cooking skills!" he said after a pause. "You'd better call me Link. It's kind of weird to be called Mr. Hans by a Chinese person. ”
"I heard you know Chinese?" Song Xianhe said suddenly in Chinese.
Link also said in Chinese: "Yes." When I was a child, I learned some from my biological mother, and I had some impressions, and later I learned some in middle school. "His Chinese isn't very good now.
Song Xianhe said: "Then say it in Chinese." That's a little bit more secret!"
Seeing Link nodding, he said again, "You said you need my cooking skills just now, what do you mean exactly? Let me help you train people?"
"Nope. I plan to process the raw materials on the production line and send them to the franchise store. ”
"Franchise store?" Song Xianhe was a little surprised. It was nothing like what he had thought. He also thought that Link wanted to make Cheng a pasta fast food chain.
"Yes. I know a little bit about the Chinese pastry making process. So I understand that if you want to learn well, it takes a long time to do training. ”
"Now that you know how Chinese noodles are made, you should know that Chinese noodles are all about craftsmanship. It is difficult for the production line to produce the taste and texture of handmade. ”
Not to mention the rest, it's just the dough of wonton, if it is made by mechanization, it may melt into the water.
"So I need your skills. As long as the mechanical process and the human production process have the same process, I think it should be fine. ”
"But that would be very inefficient. Did you know that it takes at least half an hour to knead a dough by hand?"
"Machines are more efficient than people, you can only knead a few pounds of flour at a time, but machines can knead hundreds of pounds, even a thousand pounds. ”
Song Xianhe thought for a moment and said, "If you don't worry about losing money because of low efficiency. I'm certainly willing to cooperate. But how do we work together?"
"I will set up a company, and I will bear all the funds invested in the early stage. I estimate that it will reach 50 million US dollars, mainly to set up factories. I own 75% of the shares. You take a stake in technology, 25%. What do you think?"
"More than 10 million dollars for my cooking? To be honest, Song Xianhe couldn't believe this favorable condition.
Link didn't think that this share was too high. Although he proposed this cooperation, he also provided the funds. But the most critical of them is Song Xianhe. His cooking skills are even key to the design of the production line.
And Link wasn't going to make any money with the company.
His planned company is just a link to his other projects. And this company, he doesn't think he can make much money. And 25% of the shares can allow Song Xianhe to do his best for this company.
He laughed and said, "I think it's worth it." Because you're going to be the company's technical director in the future. The prospect of this collaboration is entirely in your hands. ”
"Okay, I agree. So when do we start?"
"It's going to take a while! You can think about how to transfer your craft to machinery. In half a month at most, I will set up a company. ”
He had to think about where to set up the factory, "By the way, if you were to move to Las Vegas, would you do it?"
"If it's for work, I don't care! But I'll talk to my wife. ”
Link stood up and said, "Then tomorrow you give me an answer, I need to think about setting up the factory there." ”
In fact, what he wanted most was to have a factory in Nevada. Because several of his farms are going to grow wheat, they can directly supply the factory with raw materials. Moreover, he could use the factory to provide jobs to the residents of his low-rent apartments, making his charity a one-stop.
Of course, it is no problem to have the factory located near Fox. In addition to not being able to grow wheat, he could supply both pork and beef.
Link didn't return to Mora immediately after leaving Song's Chinese Restaurant. He went to Jessica's office. In addition to Jessica, there was also a new assistant she had recruited.
It didn't take the assistant to report it, Jessica had already seen him through the floor-to-ceiling glass wall of the office.
Although it is a company here, it doesn't really have any business. Because all the business is done from the California side. It's the company's headquarters, but it's actually just one of Jessica's offices.
Jessica opened the glass door before he walked to the door and asked, "Talk?"
When he entered, he closed the glass door before nodding and saying, "He agreed!"
“25%?”
"Yes. ”
"He didn't ask for more, did he?"
"If it weren't for the fear that he might leave in the future because he felt that the shares were being distributed unfairly, I think even if it was 10%, he would agree. ”
"Also, five million dollars, that's a lot. And that's a long-term business. ”
Link had it in mind that it was a long-term business. Now he has very few people available. After cooperating with Song Xianhe, the company must be managed by Song Xianhe. If the shares given are less, after Song Xianhe is familiar with the process, he may consider going it alone. After all, no one wants to earn more. And now give him 25% of the shares, and when he gets familiar with the process, the value of those shares will probably make him reluctant.
However, Jessica is still worried: "I think you should specify in the cooperation contract between the two parties that if he leaves the company, he will not be allowed to work in the relevant profession for many years." ”
"I remembered. And I'm going to apply for all patents that I can do. In that case, even if he leaves, the impact on the company will not be too great. But I don't like trouble. It would be nice to be stable. ”
"Why didn't you see you being so generous to my dad in the first place!" Jessica rolled her eyes.
"Is it 25%?"
Jessica rolled her eyes again. Is her dad's research on the same grade as a few pasta? .
