Just as Link was thinking about how to convince him, Jessica knocked on the door and entered.

"Honey, have you talked about it? Hannah wants to go to the hot springs. ”

Link didn't feel in a hurry to convince Carrick at this moment, so he said to him, "Do you want to go to the hot springs?"

"Of course, it's been a stressful day, just to relax. ”

…………

The next morning, Link plans to go out to see how the pasture on the farm has been transformed. He also wanted to continue the conversation with Carrick by the way, so he invited him to go out with him.

"Horseback riding?"

"If you like. ”

So they rode the quart horses of Baker Farm. Link also doesn't need to go to the farm to see everything. All he needed to do was use a telescope on a high ground to see if the pastures were growing grass. In fact, the best way to do it is to look at it from the air. But he didn't fly.

They walked a little up the hill along the west side of the dirt road. Link pointed to a mountain peak on the south side and said, "We're going up there." There is an unobstructed view of the plains below. ”

On land, Carrick saw a steaming river running downstream, and said, "That's the hot spring you drilled here? ”

"Yes, the amount of water is not small, tens of thousands of cubic meters of water per day. The gushing out groundwater, with a temperature of up to 120 degrees Celsius, can be turned into steam directly. There is a power station that uses hot springs to generate electricity. This water is cooled down by generating electricity, and it is about 50 degrees Celsius. It flows to a reservoir below. There are drying rooms upstream that specialize in using the heat of this water to dry something. There are cattle pens downstream, and these temperatures can also be used in the winter to allow cattle to survive the winter. A greenhouse is being built under the plains to make use of the water, and out-of-season vegetables can be grown in winter. ”

"Actually, when I heard your name abroad, I thought it was the person with the same name. But then I thought about it, you might be the only one in the whole of America with a name like Link. Carrick said with a laugh. "Especially when I heard that you became the God of Gamblers, I was really surprised. In addition, I watched the "Las Vegas God of Gamblers" in the UK. If your life is really like a movie, it will be a little more exciting. ”

Link laughed and said, "That's an artistic exaggeration." At least, I didn't take a couple of women with me when I gambled. But don't tell me that you want to make money from the casino because it looks like a movie?"

"BINGGO!" Carrick said, kicking the horse's belly twice, walking side by side with Link. "At that time, I wondered if you had used those methods as well, and then I thought that I might be able to use those methods as well. At that time, I didn't expect to do that one day. ”

"I didn't expect you to have a day when you don't feel like you have enough money. I guess you didn't expect that!"

After the age of seventeen, Carrick stopped working outside the home, instead making money by looking for vulnerabilities in the operating system of computers and mobile phones. He made $200,000 in the first year. In the process, you will inevitably have to do something that no one can know. For example, hacking into some company's computer or certain systems.

As a technical controller, Carrick also has the arrogance of seeing the world as if it were nothing. I heard that he hacked into almost all the computer systems of key U.S. departments.

In fact, Link felt that this guy was not suitable for being a hacker.

No other hacker will let anyone know that they are hackers. But this kid seems to have been suppressed for too long. I took the initiative to talk to him before.

But now it seems that Carrick is no longer a hacker.

Carrick laughs, "It was a complete accident. In the past six years, although I have been on the road, I have made a total of 30 to 40 million dollars. ”

"Spent on those people too?"

"It was donated to a British human rights organization. The idiot who got me caught was organized by them. ”

Link was speechless. He turned his head and said, "Don't you think that there may be such an accident in the future? No one knows how much money they will need in the future." A living person like you should be richer than me. ”

"That's more luck than you!" Carrick laughed. "Not everyone who digs a well can dig the most productive well. ”

Link also laughed and said, "Okay. It's a little harder to be richer than me, but at least it should be richer than most people. For example, if you make five or six billion dollars in three years, I think you can do it! And then you can do whatever you want. At least when you see something you can't let go, you don't have to fall asleep. ”

"I knew you hadn't given up yet. Carrick looked at him and said. "But I prefer to play with my computer. ”

"With me, you can still play with your computer. You can be a technical director. You just need to keep upgrading the technology that your company needs, and no one will interfere with you in the end. ”

Although the woods were not dense, the two rode to the saddle, and after that, they thought the road was too steep, so they had to dismount and walk.

Link, tying his horse to a tree, said, "We need to walk up that mountain." "The mountain he said wasn't too high. But it would take him more than ten minutes to climb up. "Can you hold on?"

Krika looked at the small mountain and smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me too much. I once walked in Afghanistan for five days on a mountain trail until I reached the top of an unnamed peak at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. ”

"That's good!"

Carrick's cowhide is blown big. Or maybe he didn't brag, but it turned out he couldn't keep up with Link at all. He found that Link was walking on flat ground at all. He forcibly followed Link up to the top of the mountain, and Link didn't even catch his breath. He just felt like he was going to gasp out of his lungs.

Link threw the kettle to him and said, "Take two sips and swallow." With that, he took the telescope and looked down.

The plains below are distinctly large expanses of green. But there are two different shades of green. One is green with a cyan tinge, and the other is mixed with yellow.

The completely green place is the pasture that is ready for grazing. The yellow area is intended for arable land, and it is green weeds. He knew the land use plan for the farm.

He looked through his binoculars for a while and saw that the pasture had completely grown grass.

This is the same as reported by the farm's management team. I just don't know how many weeds there are in the pasture. If there are not many weeds, these pastures can raise a lot of cattle. If Benjamin's experiment was successful, the entire Baker Farm could even raise more than 150,000 beef cattle.

Carrick was also looking through a telescope. He looked at it for a while, and while looking at it, he said, "Although the desert should be pristine, I think this is the most beautiful when I see the large green fields." ”

"I saw those pillars on the plane, and you're going to build a wind farm here?"

"Yes. Of course, all the resources that can be used are used. Link put down his binoculars and said. "I thought about it for so long, what is your answer? Do you want to cooperate? If you cooperate, I will ask people to register an electronics company, you will take the technology as a shareholder, and I will pay for it. ”

"How much do you pay me?"

"You still want a salary?"

"Technology has already sent you. Carrick said no longer concerned. "Just because you say cooperation, I can't take back my decision. ”

Link looked at him for a moment and realized that he was serious. He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give you 40% of the shares." ”

Carrick thought for a moment and said, "Too much! I want 20 percent." Money, just enough!"

"We'll sign the contract when we go back. "None of these are critical. The point is that this guy agreed to cooperate. "I remember that you didn't go back on what you promised. That's the same now, right?"

"You know, I sometimes hate my personality. That cost me a hundred million dollars. ”

"That's good. You can separate the various technologies that you need to use in your phone as soon as possible, and we will apply for a patent first. Link smiled and said. "Also, what do you think the name of the company is?"

"Citrus Tech, what do you think?"

"I guess you must not be serious. ”

"Of course I'm serious. If there's blackberries and apples, why can't you have citrus?"

"I knew you weren't serious. Link rolled his eyes and said. "Let's go down. I'm also going to the plains to see the quality of the pasture. He turned and walked down the mountain.

"I'm serious. Carrick turned to follow. "Citrus is a word that's easy to remember. Three-year-olds know it. And the logo is also easy to do, a citrus with two leaves. More and more, I think it's a good idea. ”

"Strus, it reminds me of popping skin bugs and white flies. ”

They first went to the plains below the mountains to see the pastures. Link spot-checked several places and found that there weren't many weeds here. Some of the tall perennial weeds have already been cleared, and there are actually a lot of herbaceous plants in the desert, just waiting for the rain. Once the rain comes, the whole desert will be covered in a colorful carpet. Therefore, this desert actually did not sow many grass seeds, but more grass seeds that were buried in the yellow sand of the early desert germinated. These plants germinate early when there is sufficient water, and they have not yet flowered.

Link even plucked a few sticks of grass and put them in his mouth and chewed them, and the grass was quite rich. He plucked a few more grasses, and the roots of the grass were deep. Don't worry about the cows pulling out the roots and eating them.

It seems that he can herd the herd.

Carrick looked up at the greenery that stretched west into the Great Basin National Park. In the plains below, the green is endless. He looked at it for a while, and then said to Link, "I'm curious, why are you so rich, why are you still obsessed with these farms, if the media hadn't reported it indiscriminately, you should have owned more than two million acres of farms." ”

"Land is a high-quality resource, and as long as human beings exist, it will not become useless at any time. Link stood up, clapped his hands, and said. "Other industries will continue to be eliminated with the development of technology, but land will not. The main investment in the land is a one-time one. As long as I can guarantee that the income is higher than the property tax, it will not really depreciate. And there will only be less and less land. ”

If it was for fear of causing an overreaction from some people, he would even buy more land.

"Actually, I like it here. It is backed by a national park and a large grassland area. There are even hot springs. Beautiful scenery and quiet. I wish I could have stayed here longer. ”

"Stay as long as you like. Link said with a smile. "Don't worry, I won't charge you rent. ”
