Chapter 529: The Final Adjustment
In fact, wind turbine power generation does not allow Link to get a lot of economic benefits, and the investment will be large.
But he took the project very seriously.
For the construction of wind farms, he still signed a contract with Huaxin Company.
Because the whole project is large in scale and the construction period is very long, he signed the contract in several construction periods this time. In other words, he will start to consider wind farm projects in other regions after the completion of a project in one area.
He did this not only to save money, but also to maintain a relatively good attitude towards him in China with a big pie.
He can provide contracts to Chinese companies, which is a kind of friendship, and his Chinese identity has a natural advantage. The Chinese government will certainly have a better impression of him than the average American businessman. That will be of great benefit to him in doing business in China in the future.
For example, wine is being sold in large quantities to China, and there will be agricultural cooperation in the future. All of this he needs to maintain a good impression of him from the Chinese side. And although the wind farm does not make much money, it will not lose money anyway.
The U.S. government wants to put obstacles in the way. But the wind farm is completely his. No law like the Patriot Act, or any excuse to endanger American security, can stop this project.
To the U.S. government, he didn't behave very well, but he didn't go above the federal government's bottom line. Moreover, the technology of the Benehans Group can help it a lot, both subjectively and objectively.
For the past year, federal government officials have supported or opposed genetically modified foods in their personal capacities, rather than in the name of government departments, as they have done before. That's already quite exciting for the anti-GMO people.
Link also sensed a slight shift in the federal government's policy on agriculture. In the face of intense public pressure, both the federal government and the consortiums that support genetically modified foods can only temporarily back down.
He wondered if the consortia had given up on supporting genetically modified foods. They may only be temporarily backing down, or they may be considering moving GM technology to other areas. Such as medicine and medical treatment.
But in any case, it was a good turnaround, and it allowed him to pursue his plans in a more relaxed environment for now.
However, he has to do his thing. For example, leave yourself some back roads.
His approach proved to be effective. The Chinese side refused to cooperate with Xihua, but agreed to cooperate with the Benehans subsidiary in Xiangjiang. The two companies will jointly invest in a company to develop a kelp farm in the northern part of the China Sea with a total area of more than 5,000 square kilometers.
Martha called him just yesterday and said that the cooperation agreement had been signed. Although Benehans only accounted for 49% of the co-founded companies, that was not a big problem for him.
He didn't just do this project to make money.
Only if this kelp farming project can be cooperated, Xihua will have enough raw material sources in China to build factories there. With a kelp processing plant, there can be kelp residues. Only with the residue of macroalgae can the green manure company settle in China. With these successful examples of cooperation, it will be of great benefit to Benehans in the future agricultural cooperation in China.
Of course, he didn't have to talk to Tom about that.
"We took this issue into account when we inspected the area where the wind farm was built," he assured. I can guarantee that the sound of the nearest wind turbine will not exceed 70 decibels, when it reaches the edge of this breeding farm in a downwind situation. That doesn't have any effect on the llamas. ”
"Then I'm relieved. Tom said with a smile. "You know, we now have over fifty thousand baby alpacas, and if one of them is frightened, it can cause chaos. In the chaos, pregnant alpacas are prone to miscarriages. ”
Link smiled and said, "I understand, I understand! This is also an investment that I have high hopes for, and of course I hope that they will all have a successful birth of cubs!"
He said goodbye to the alpaca breeding center and went to see the newly cultivated land that was being cultivated and mixed with kelp residue. This arable land will be used to grow soybeans or corn the following year. The effects of the kelp residue have been proven, but it also takes time for the kelp residue to be converted into fertility, so he would rather spend a little more manpower and money and plan to plough the land once this year.
He also went to see the cattle pen, which was expanding.
There are also cement tanks under construction. These giant tanks will be used to produce natural gas from cow dung in the future. Culverts and pipes that extend into the cattle pens can send cow dung to these jars, where they can be filled with superbugs that the institute is still improving. Natural gas can be produced at a certain temperature.
This can be regarded as an image project. There is definitely a profit. But it's not worth his investment of such a huge amount of money. But this technology can have a significant impact on the cattle industry around the world.
As a promoter, his benefits will definitely not be less.
To put it bluntly, a lot of what he's doing now is for fame. Of course, he will try not to make a name at a loss.
Then he flew to Las Vegas.
Martha has completed the tasks he has assigned to her, and the subsidiaries in Asia, South America and Africa have successfully set up the framework. Asia is already doing business.
Moreover, Benihans's skills are about to be displayed in front of people, and he no longer needs to ask her to do other work in person for the sake of secrecy.
He needed to talk to her about her future work arrangements.
Martha rushed back to the United States overnight yesterday and has returned to work at Hans Investment today.
When Link came to her office, he found that she seemed to be idle.
He smiled and said, "It looks like your assistants can stand on their own now." ”
"You know these best. And they're all very capable people!" Martha said with a laugh.
Link was going to talk to her about that. She has been running all over the world for more than a year. His affairs in the United States were handed over to Dill and they had no problems. If she continues to manage the team, it will be too wasteful in terms of manpower.
"Do you have any plans for the next step?"
"You mean work?"
Link smiled and said, "Of course, if you have a plan in life, I hope to know as well." ”
Martha thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to take a vacation for a while." And then make a plan. In fact, she also knows that now she is no longer indispensable at Hanse Investments. It's just that she doesn't know what Link has in mind. If Link's plans conflict with hers, she will have to resign.
Link thought for a moment and said, "Is a month's vacation enough?"
Martha nodded, wanting to hear his follow-up.
He continued: "When you come back, you take over Strus Electronics. What do you think?"
"Let me go to Strus Electronics?" Martha didn't expect Link to make such an arrangement. "I think Carrick has done a good job. ”
"Yes, in the early stages, he did a very good job. But its products are about to go on sale. Krica couldn't cope with that. ”
Although Carrick is a technical genius, he has a lot of shortcomings in business, and he has little interest in this area, and he is often lazy. He may have been able to handle the process of building the company, but Carrick has already complained about marketing.
Martha thought for a moment and asked, "Then who are you going to let replace me?"
"Do you have any recommendations? I hope he can go to Asia. ”
That's exactly what Martha wanted to recommend Dill for. Hearing him say this, he spread his hands and said, "There used to be, but now there is none!"
Link laughed and said, "If Dill can't go to Asia, I'll let him take over." If he agrees to go to Asia, who do you think would be a better fit, Morris or Miller?"
"Morris is a bit more suitable. Martha groaned and said. "Morris has the expertise to help you manage your assets. Miller's expertise is primarily in dealing with finances. ”
Link thinks the same way. He nodded and said, "Then I'll talk to Dill first." A month later, you'll be the president of Strus Electronics. In terms of treatment, we can handle it in the same way as other companies hire CEOs. What do you think?"
When other companies hire CEOs, the main treatment is not salary, but dry stock dividends. If it's done well, there will be options. Martha is well aware of how competitive Strus Electronics products will be in the market. If you can get the company's dividends, it will of course be much higher than the current salary and Link's bonuses at Hans Investment Company.
And being able to serve as the president of Strus Electronic Technology, no matter from that point of view, she is promoted. Although he managed Link's assets before. But in reality, Link's assets have their own managers. She just made a link between those assets and Link. And being the president of Strus Electronic Technology really allowed her to manage a company.
Whether it is treatment, status or power, it has been promoted. What's not about her?
"Good. I'll talk to Carrick first, and I can cancel my vacation plan if needed. ”
"That's for the best. I will send you the contract when I go back to Huazhou. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, we'll talk about it!"
He and Martha have worked together for several years, and the relationship between the two parties can be described as superiors and subordinates, or they can be said to be friends. And he also sees Martha's growth in recent years. Especially from last year's experience, she should be able to get more exercise. He has a lot of trust in her abilities.
He stood up and said, "I'm going to talk to Diel." ”
Deere was in charge of Hans Investments this year, which also gave Link a glimpse of his managerial talents. In the business map of the Benihans Group, Link attaches the most importance to Asia.
He needs someone he can trust and have enough ability to lead the big picture. He felt that Dill should be up to the job.
Martha also stood up and said, "You're going to let Dill go to Asia." What about South America and Africa? Do you have a choice?" she wasn't trying to interfere with Link's hiring. I just want to know who will give the foundation I founded.
Link also didn't have a definite candidate in mind. However, he also made arrangements, saying: "I plan to select people from the Beni Hans Group and Hanse Investment. ”
Hearing his arrangement, Martha was a little relieved.
She set up those companies single-handedly, and in her eyes, they were like her children.
According to Link's arrangement, whether it is from the Beni Hans Group or from the Hans Investment Company, the people selected can understand Link's intentions. She won't change the main framework she built because of a different philosophy like someone who suddenly joined.
