In the afternoon, Charlie Giovanni came to the hotel to look for him.

Charlie is running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives this year. Link didn't want to act too close to him at this time. Whether or not he thinks too much, he does worry that because of his proximity to Charlie, the other party will lose some of his support in the Democratic Party.

Charlie had only been a state legislator for a year and a half before he decided to run for federal legislature. That has a lot to do with Link's support all the time.

Because of his "invitation" and coordination, the Hans Foundation set up Hans low-cost apartments in San Francisco, and also established a free youth counseling center in his constituency, as well as a free gallery for children and teenagers, etc., all of which he added a lot to the hearts of voters.

When he announced his candidacy for Congress, Link also poured millions of dollars into his campaign to get West Hollywood Media to increase his publicity for him.

But without the support of the Democratic Party, Charlie would not be the party's candidate for the seat so easily.

And Charlie has made clear his views on policy and social issues of public concern during the election campaign.

For example, his clear and firm opposition to genetically modified foods can attract support from voters who oppose genetically modified foods.

His election prospects are now good, and his approval rating is 6 percent higher than his current re-election rivals.

That's not easy.

And Link spent at least more than $60 million on this, and of course he didn't just give it without asking for anything in return.

Much of that spending was on San Francisco's public facilities, and Link's philanthropic reputation grew as the money was spent.

And Charlie also made his own rewards with his actions. For example, in his speeches at campaign rallies, he criticized the misuse of genetically modified technology in food and promoted pollution-free food standards. More specifically, the high-yielding wheat seeds of the Benehans Group are promoted.

As a politician, it is rare to be able to articulate oneself on this issue.

But now the situation has changed. Link wants to talk to him, but it's not good to invite him directly to Ozette. he

I also happened to need to come to California, so I invited the other party to Sacramento to meet.

"Long time no see, Link!" Charlie was about to face the ballot, but the current election made him look confident. He laughs. "I've heard that you're doing a lot of business with jealousy. ”

Link invited him to sit down on the couch and said with a smile, "Jealousy is not necessarily, but jealousy is certain." ”

Winter wheat is planted in the U.S. on about 24 million acres, and the Benehans Group has now won more than 9 million acres of seed market, and more may be more in the future. I don't know how many people's interests have been violated, and the jealousy of competitors is inevitable.

"What do you need me to do when you asked me to come this time?"

Link shook his head with a smile and said, "On the contrary, I hope you don't do something again." He paused and said. "Benihans wheat seeds have temporarily opened up the market and are gaining a certain reputation. It doesn't need to be any more noticeable. ”

Charlie is not a fool either, after listening to Link, he understands what Link thinks. He smiled and nodded, "It really should be a little more low-key." ”

Link smiled and said, "I also want it to be low-key." But I'm afraid it won't keep a low profile. It's hard to keep a low profile until at least next year. "High-yielding wheat will certainly not be brought up before it is harvested. If the farmer who planted it gets a good harvest, it will definitely make another big splash.

So he can only hope that there will be more limelight to distract the public, but he can't make the public completely ignore it.

"I hope you will continue to help me promote the Cruelty-Free Food Standard. ”

"I've been doing that!"

"I know. But I hope you can take a different approach. For example, with action. ”

Charlie groaned for a moment, frowned and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"For example, advocating for the creation of organizations such as Supporters of Pollution-Free Food Standards in the constituency. I will provide funding through the Benihans Group. The bigger you move, the better. ”

Charlie thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "I'll do my best!"

If it had been a few months ago, he would not have agreed to Link's request. Because at that time he still had competitors in the party. Link's request will obviously cause a debate between pollution-free standards and genetically modified foods again. That will have an uncertain impact on the political situation in the United States at this time. If he goes too far, it will make some of the party bigwigs switch to his competitors.

And now he is the only candidate in the party for his constituency. Even if some bigwigs in the party give up on him because of this, it will not have a great impact on him. As long as he can win this election, he will faintly become a rising star, and the party will not abandon him because of some political disagreements.

And Link needs him to do these things. He can also see that it will be this year at most. Maybe next year Link won't need him to stand up for Benehans' products.

Link said, "Thank you!" he paused and said with a smile. "I've heard that your father's re-election has been decided. ”

"The election is really good for him. But until the ballot count is over, no one knows who will emerge victorious. What's more, voting hasn't started yet?"

Although Charlie said so, it was clear from his smile that he was optimistic.

Giovanni Sr. sought re-election, and Link donated more than $2 million through Hanova Farms to fund his political activities. Of course, it was not a political donation, but it was used to support some of his executive initiatives and policies.

If the elder Giovanni is re-elected, there will definitely be a credit for Link.

And whether the elder Giovanni can be re-elected will have a great impact on Charlie's future career. With him, the governor's father, behind him, four years is enough time for Charlie to gain a firm foothold in the Democratic Party.

So Link didn't plan to get anything in return directly from the old Giovanni, and funded him entirely in the hope that Charlie, who would give more support, could go further.

He hopes Charlie will at least run for the Senate. In the United States, every senator has the ability to change the entire policy.

Charlie thought that Link wanted to promote the establishment of pollution-free food standards in New Mexico by the government. Right

He was hesitant. Because although New Mexico's brokerage is mainly technology-based, agriculture is also a major industry. Although the genetically modified food is now retreating, it still occupies most of the US food market, and there are more people who grow and breed than those who adhere to pollution-free food standards.

That's not good for both father and son.

Link could see that Charlie had misunderstood. He laughed and said, "I don't want Governor Giovanni to do something on his own initiative." I'll do it myself, but I need the right support from Mr. Governor at the right time. ”

Charlie felt that it would be fine if it was just that. If the wind has been set, the elder Giovanni will only come out in support of public opinion. Of course, it can also play a role in promoting the direction of development.

He understood that Link wanted him to communicate with his father. He didn't have any problem with that. And he and his father admired Linlink's practice of never making excessive demands. If Link had approached Giovanni directly, he would obviously not have wanted to give Giovanni a chance to consider. Because Link paid for the other party's election. And he has been supporting Charlie, and the old Giovanni can only agree to his request.

And now it is up to Charlie to say that the old Giovanni does not agree, and there is also Charlie as an intermediary as a mediator. Won't let Link and old Giovanni turn their faces.

Cha Li knew his plan, so that he and his father could be mentally prepared: "What are you going to do?"

While Link doesn't intend to elaborate on his plans, he can simply say, "I'm going to work with the North Texas Cruelty-Free Food Standards Association in the name of Hanova Farms to promote Cruelty-Free Food Standard Manufacturing in New Mexico." The North Texas Association will be responsible for the publicity, and we will provide the product and technical support. Of course, funding will also be provided. ”

Charlie listened to him and thought about it, and finally said, "I think I can convince my dad." "Link's request is not excessive, he just asks to speak at the right time. Old Giovanni should be able to do it.

Link smiled and said, "Thank you!"

If just one North Texas Pollution-Free Food Standards Association is operating in Texas and no longer touches the nerves of GM proponents, what about adding California, the most populous state in the United States, and adding New Mexico? If that's not enough, add Nevaa and Oregon. If necessary, he could even move in Huazhou.

He didn't believe they would remain indifferent.

As long as those people saw pollution-free food standards as their enemy, his plan would have succeeded.

Those are dealing with a massive assault on pollution-free food standards, while at the same time worrying that two major markets, corn and soybeans, will be taken away by Benehans. In this case, he did not believe that much of their attention could be focused on high-yielding wheat.

Whether it is a renewed controversy or the promotion of pollution-free standards, it will be of great benefit to Benehans.

Since he wants to contribute money and efforts to promote pollution-free food standards, of course, he will embed the products and technologies of Benihans Company in the publicity, and promote the products of Benihans Group as meeting the standards of pollution-free standards. In the future, the implementation of pollution-free food standards is the promotion of Benihans products

It was both an unsolicited attack and an alternative propaganda. And the purpose of this propaganda is not only to promote the seeds of Benihans.

The old business of the Benihans Group is not a seed.
