Chapter 486: The Biggest Investment

"Do you need me to come along?"

Hearing that Carrick was unwilling to choose a factory site, Link said to Carrick with a heavy face, "Maybe you still need an adult to accompany you?"

Carrick was not afraid of him, he leaned back in his chair and said, "I just want the beautiful woman to accompany me." ”

Link was amused by his words and said to Martha, "Looks like I can't help you!"

He suddenly woke up to Carrick, the guy was "pursuing" Martha. I think that's the idea he came up with.

Setting up a company using Carrick's technology is one of Link's largest investments of private capital to date.

According to Carrick's calculations, the project will be invested in more than $2 billion. That's all invested with Link's private funds.

It's impossible to say that you don't care in the slightest.

Martha smiled and said, "Yes, I don't think anyone can help me." Carrick's pursuit made her feel like a child playing house, but it didn't make her feel disgusted.

Link wasn't in the mood to keep looking at the joke. He said to Carrick, "Carrick, I don't care what you think of this project, but you have to remember that I've invested two billion dollars in it." And it's also your hard work. ”

"It's not a lot of hard work. Carrick felt that Link was talking a little serious. He said with a grin. "Those techniques were just made up by me out of boredom on the road. In those years, he not only programmed the smart program of the mobile phone, but even designed the supporting hardware. It seemed like a lot of work, but for him it was just a passing thing.

Link looked at him and said, "Anyway, if I lose money, I'll ask you." If you lose a lot, you will work for me, and when you earn enough money to pay me back, you will enjoy your life again. He interrupted Carrick's attempt to retort. "Remember, you're going to have to pay interest on it!"

Carrick was interrupted by him, opened his mouth and finally said, "I don't care, anyway, the technology is passable." Whether you can make money or not depends on your marketing methods. ”

"Our marketing team is very good at it. As long as you can keep the project going smoothly in terms of technology, I can't lose money. ”

That, of course, is blowing the air, and no business is sure to make money.

But that's what Link is saying. He was trying to put some pressure on Carrick.

Carrick, of course, understood the intention of listening to him. But Link pressed him like this, and he didn't seem to have much to do.

And he also has his own little calculations: "Then when the company is officially operational, I will work in Las Vegas!" Seattle, which is far away.

Link glanced at Martha and said with a smile, "As long as you can ensure that the company doesn't have problems, you can work there." He thought Carrick was reluctant to Martha. Since he is so interested in a woman, of course he must help him.

Martha didn't seem to think that Carrick's work there had anything to do with her. She had no comment on that.

"Where are you going to locate your factory?"

They have to produce their own mobile phone CPUs, whether it is environmental conditions or manpower has certain requirements. Such a factory can only be located near a city with good air quality and a large number of highly qualified manpower. Seattle, on the other hand, is home to a large number of large companies and colleges, and is surrounded by forests. It's a nice place for their project.

But the Seattle metropolitan area is actually quite large. The cost of buying land is different in different places, and in different locations, people who are willing to go to work are also different.

"We have two pre-selected locations, one on Wachon Island and one on Banbrich Island," Martha said. ”

Both roads are separated from Thea by a strait, and there are ferries between them. The land of the two islands is relatively spacious, and the environment is more suitable.

Link asked Carrick, "What do you think?"

"The ideal is, of course, Banbrich Island. There is a ferry directly from that island to downtown Seattle. It's also relatively close, and if we had a fast shuttle ferry for our employees, I think those people would be willing to work on the island. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "Then you are going to focus on that island?"

"Yes. Martha said. "We've already contacted a farm first. It is hoped that about 30 acres of land on the island will be bought for the construction of a factory. ”

Seattle wasn't far away, and Link was hesitant to go along. Before he could make a decision, though, the phone rang and interrupted him.

The call came from Douglas. He answered and said, "It's me." Did something happen?"

"The guy you asked me to check, we found something interesting, and I've had someone courier for you. ”

None of that was visible, and Douglas didn't know if his phone had been tapped. So he didn't send an email directly.

Link remembered the Oak Vormigo who asked Daglas to investigate. It's been almost two weeks. Even under the hype of the other party, the video posted by that guy slowly subsided. But Link didn't think to let that guy go.

"I see!"

It will take about one to two days for the express delivery to arrive. He wasn't in a hurry, though. But I don't want that guy who slandered Hannah to live one more day.

Well, he can't go to Seattle with Martha and the others.

After hanging up the phone, he no longer hesitated. He said to Martha and Carrick, "Then you should choose a site as soon as possible." There won't be any problems with funding. ”

His problem now is that he can't spend the money. His money is increasing every day, and at a much higher rate than it is consumed. Someone else needs capital turnover, and he wants to turn it around.

Martha had become accustomed to his behavior of shaking off the shopkeeper. She nodded and said, "We'll get up to speed as soon as we can!"

She paused and said, "It's July soon." I've asked people to make a summary of the first half of the year. Maybe you'll be able to see it in early July. ”

Link listened and asked, "Is there anything in particular that needs attention?"

"Personally, I think there is a lot of variability in retail. Maybe you should pay more attention. ”

Link understood what she meant.

He nodded and said, "I'll take notice." ”

In the debate between genetically modified and pollution-free, Lin's Retail is carrying out its own transformation by itself. The problem is that there are still few pollution-free products, and the outcome of this debate will determine whether pollution-free standards can gain a foothold in the United States.

The retail industry is inherently competitive, and a single mistake in decision-making can put the entire chain in an irreversible predicament. If the pollution-free standard fails. Lin's Retail will be hit hard and even go out of business.

Martha looked at the time and said, "If nothing else, it's still early, we can get to Seattle in the evening." ”

When Carrick heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Then let's go at once." ”

Link sent them out.

He has already arranged planes for them. They flew straight over and were indeed able to spend the night in Seattle.

When Carrick was about to get into the car, Link remembered something and said, "The car that was customized for you will be delivered the day after tomorrow, will you drive it back by yourself, or will I have someone deliver it to you?"

"You can send it for me. Carrick said without even thinking about it. He didn't bother to come back again.

Send someone to drive him to Las Vegas, and Link will do the same.

The courier that Douglas had sent was almost with those cars.

Link had just been around the estate for a test drive of the newly delivered Zeppelin, and when he returned, he saw Jessica holding a delivery box in her hand.

Seeing the delivery, Link stopped taking a test drive of several other cars and signed for them directly.

Even if there is a problem with those cars, they will not be able to see a problem when they are driven. And there is no equipment to test cars here, so he can only trust the quality control of the manufacturer.

The person who delivered the car left with the receipt of the receipt. Link helped Jessica to the castle: "The car just delivered, two elongated Zeppelins, one for each of us." It is used as an official car. Those three cars, I'm going to have a black one, do you want a black one or a white one?"

"The white one!" Jessica prefers the ivory one.

Link nodded and said, "Then, the rest of the car is very colored for Carrick." ”

Those cars had to be modified with special engines to fit into those cars, and some other safety releases were added, and the cost was more than double that of the generic version. But he thinks it's worth it as long as it's safe.

Link left Jessica in the care of Ms. Hemmer, and he went to the study to see the courier that Douglas had delivered. He opened the courier box, and there seemed to be quite a few things inside. Anyway, it feels quite heavy in your hand.

He opened it and saw a stack of photos. There is also a USB flash drive.

He sneered when he saw what was in the photo. Is this what is called a child education specialist?

Oak Vormigo is the author of educational books for children and a relatively well-known expert on children's education in Kansas. But who would have thought that such an education expert would be a scumbag.

Or rather, Link believes that there is a dark side to everyone. It's just that some people did it, some people didn't, or they didn't have the ability to do it. So he asked Douglas to check on him. As a result, he really found something even more filthy than his phenomenon.

This guy Oak Vormigo has done more than anyone imagined. If these photos are circulated, he will have to take off his skin if he doesn't die.

But once he got these things, he needed to think about what to do with them.

If it had been a few days ago, when Oak Vormigo's video was still being followed, he might have used his social networking site to publish it. Not now.

By doing that before, he could shift the public's attention from Hannah to him. And now, although the public is still very concerned about Hannah, they are more concerned about her child.

If he still does it himself, it will make the public want to go to Oak Vormigo's video again, which will only backfire in the end.

Link thought for a moment and finally called Catherine and said, "Catherine, I have something in my hand that might be of interest to you." ”

"What's that?"

Link took out a photo and took it on his phone and sent it to her.

"Oh my God, is this true?" Catherine exclaimed at the call when she saw the picture. "The man in the photo is really damned. ”

"He covered it up well. So he is now a respected expert in children's education. ”

"Then he's damned!" Catherine was about to curse. "Can you give me the picture?"

"I'll have someone send it to you. "The delivery is too slow, and he plans to have someone fly it directly. "There are also some candid videos. You look at it. ”
