Lin's Retail has finally revised its five-year development plan.

It took Link three days to read it. The first three years of this five-year plan will be a process of rapid expansion. Within three years, Lin's Retail will invest more than $10 billion to build a larger sales network, mainly in large and medium-sized cities across the United States.

Whether it is to buy land or an existing building, the cost of each store is not small. The cost of 10 billion dollars is really not much. But Link had only promised to invest $5 billion over three years, and now plans to invest $10 billion.

That means that Lin's Retail will make more than 5 billion net profits in three years. Benedict's confidence is even more than his.

Link was very satisfied with such a plan.

Maybe there will be some problems in the process that will keep the plan from changing. For example, the final investment amount will be much higher than planned. But Link felt his cash flow could hold it up.

So he signed his name at the end of the plan, and two words: very good.

And Luke Truss, who has been paying attention to this, seems to have changed again.

This time Douglas was also a little confused, and he rushed to Ozette with the gathered intelligence.

Link looked at the information he brought, frowned, and said, "You haven't analyzed their purpose either?"

"Yes. Their approach is strange. They basically suspended the purchase of Blue Lake 223 for less than four days, and suddenly began to purchase large quantities again. They have purchased 200,000 bottles in the past week. However, it is less than when the purchase volume is at its peak, and it decreases every day. ”

Douglas reminisced for a moment and continued: "You can look at Intelligence Twelve. It shows that the intelligence we have gathered is that in the past week, their daily wine purchases have decreased by more than 50% on the last day compared to their peak. However, we have observed that the number of cars they transport to store wine has not decreased. ”

"Could it be that they are secretly buying from somewhere else?"

"It's possible. However, we also looked into it, and found nothing. It was as if the wine had come out of nowhere. So we have a guess. ”

Link also thought of a possibility: "Are they making fake wine or private wine?"

"That's just our guess, we can't know for sure yet. At their wine storage plant, with the exception of a few managers, South Americans who have just arrived in the United States are employed. None of them seemed to understand English, and they hardly left the workshop, and our people had no contact with them. We found that the South Americans seemed to have been specially recruited from Mexico. ”

The more Link thought about it, the more interesting things became.

He laughed and said, "Your people have sneaked in?"

"Well, I only arrived in the United States yesterday. Douglas said with a smile. "I had a Mexican go specifically to the place where they recruited people, pretending to be a local, and he was successfully hired. He doesn't seem to have entered their workshop yet, though. ”

"So what are they really up to, and most likely against me?"

Douglas didn't answer his question. Judgments such as "maybe" and "maybe" are not suitable for him at such times. He couldn't let some of his speculations mislead Link.

"Their purpose is unknown," he said. But they do it very stealthily, even a little cunningly. ”

"Cunning?"

"We tracked down some of the trucks that were helping them deliver their goods. But the drivers of those trucks had only transported things to the workshop once. And the drivers we tracked were pulling goods from different locations in 18 cities in three states. The only thing that is the same is that all the wine is shipped and there are only two destinations. It's Luke Truss's two bottling plants. And those two bottling factories don't nominally belong to Luke Truss and the others. ”

Link asked, "Can you find out who owns those two factories and their relationship?"

"I can't find it. Although we know that they are the real masters. But we were unable to find any evidence that they were linked to the factory. ”

"There's always a bond. You pay more attention to the nominal hands of those two workshops. See who they primarily connect with. ”

"Good!"

Link thought for a moment and asked, "Have you checked who sent the goods from those warehouses?"

"It's hard for us to get our hands on the surveillance footage of the warehouse. ”

"So there's a way?"

Douglas certainly wanted to investigate in this area, but he also had concerns: "If we had spoken to the local police, it might have revealed our purpose." ”

Link put down the intel in his hand and said, "Okay! What else?" He was eager to get evidence that Luke Truss had made counterfeit or moonshine. That's a felony in the United States. It would be nice to have evidence of John Malone.

Douglas stayed in Ozette for more than three hours before leaving.

It seems a little hard to catch John Malone's tail. Just when Link thinks he's compelled to catch Zoom, Douglas makes a phone call, but not about wine.

Rather, there was a Chinese from New Zealand who had something to talk to him: "He said it was about alpacas. ”

Link was a little strange and asked, "How did he find you?"

"He said he couldn't contact you, but knew the Venetian was your property. ”

Link thought for a moment and asked, "Have you found out?" He was wary of those who took the initiative to come to the door to "ask for cooperation" because of the gold mine being pitted.

"Got some. The Chinese, whose English name is Oloro Luo, whose nationality is Chinese but has residency in New Zealand, is a 54-year-old online writer who mainly writes travelogues and the Internet, and his books have more than a million online readers on China's largest online site. But that's not his main business. His main job is a vocational trainer. In addition, he bought a 600-acre farm in the west of Dunedin, New Zealand, two years ago, which mainly breeds lambs and grows wheat. A year ago, he partnered with an Australian to buy a 50,000-acre farm in the Australian outback, in which he took a half-stake in the farm, which mainly raised cattle. ”

After listening to him, Link said with a smile: "Online writing can write about two big farms, it seems to be very powerful!"

“Emmm…… Boss. In fact, he can make some money writing books. But it is said that the copyright income of the Chinese network is very low, because the website has to take a large part of it. And the money he bought the farm was the prize for winning the lottery. Three years ago, he won a lottery jackpot of more than S$60 million. ”

Link laughed and said, "Well, being able to win S$60 million is better than writing a book and buying a farm, isn't it?"

He thought he hadn't been to Nevada in months, and now the weather was better, at least not in the blizzards. And tomorrow happens to be the weekend, and Jessica doesn't have to go to work. Perhaps the family could also go to Nevada to escape the cold and wet weather of Ozette that did not see the sun all day. Drop by to visit his adoptive parents.

"I'm going to Las Vegas tomorrow," he said. You can arrange for me to meet with that Oloro Luo at eight o'clock in the evening. ”

His alpaca program didn't spread much in the U.S. quickly. Of course, that's also because it takes some time for the alpaca calves at the alpaca breeding center on Southern Oregon farms to be born in large numbers.

And he didn't plan to sell all the cubs, he definitely left some of them to transfer to two large farms in Nevada, and set up a breeding center there by the way, breeding while breeding.

So he was patient with the promotion of baby alpacas in the United States, and he didn't think about selling alpacas abroad so quickly. But now that the opportunity has come to his door, he doesn't plan to miss it.

New Zealand may not be a very suitable country for alpacas, as it has a temperate maritime climate and although the precipitation is not very large, it is as evenly distributed as Ozet. Alpacas, on the other hand, are not very suitable for breeding in humid and rainy climates, as rainy days have a great impact on alpaca wool. Anyone who farms alpacas knows one thing: they don't shear their wool on rainy days.

But doesn't the other party still have a big farm in Australia? Although the climate in Australia is relatively extreme, the alpacas are not afraid of drought.

If he wants to sell alpacas to Australia himself, it can be quite troublesome. Because Australia is the largest alpaca base in South America. If he wants to sell baby alpacas there, the best thing to do is to buy his own farm in Australia or work with locals.

Now the collaborators have taken the initiative to come to the door.

So the next day, the family got on a plane and flew directly to Hans's farm, where they had lunch at Hans's house until three o'clock in the afternoon, when they returned to Hans's farm. The temperature at Hans's farm is not high, but the sun is shining. This kind of weather makes a few little ones who haven't been able to play outdoors for a long time have a good time.

Link also accompanied Hannah to fly a kite for more than an hour.

But after dinner, Link drove to the Venetian Casino.

After meeting Douglas, Douglas led him to the gambling hall. After arriving at the gambling room, Douglas pointed to a Chinese at a blackjack table and said, "That's the person who wants to see you." ”

"The one with two hot girls around?"

It's a bit far, but Link's eyesight is good. That Ololo had long curly gray hair that covered his ears, and he looked quite strong, with slightly darker skin than the average Chinese, like a person who exercised regularly.

But there were also two hotly dressed blondes around this man, and his behavior was quite promiscuous.

He smiled and said, "It seems to be a merry guy!"

Douglas smiled and shook his head, "Not necessarily. He had been at the hotel for four days and had come to the casino several times, each time only gambling for two or three hours, and each time he would ask us to arrange two girls for him. But the girls didn't want to accompany him anymore. Now it's getting harder and harder for us to find a girl who is willing to accompany him. ”

"Why? Because he has certain hobbies?"

"I think it's because he doesn't have bad habits. He must have been a rich man. But he would only exchange $1,000 at a time, and when he was done, he would leave, and if he won, he would only gamble for three hours at most. He never spent more than a hundred dollars on the girl. And never brought back to his room. ”

"Is it a GAY?"

"I'm certainly not, because he's coming with his wife. According to our staff, well...... They seem to be very affectionate. The hotel's cleaners were able to find evidence of this in the trash cans every day......"

"So, he's not a liar?"

"At least judging by what has been discovered so far, he is not!"
