Chapter 159 It's Time to Think About Marketing Your Farm Products

While John hasn't called him back yet, Link has already begun to think about how to contact Paul Brown, a Democratic Senator from Nevada.

He had met the old senator and had dinner with him. However, Mr. Senator only invited him as an intermediary in place of Giovanni. He had little to do with the senator, who was of considerable stature. He wanted to beg the other party to do something for him, and it was not easy.

So he called Charlie Giovanni.

Since the elder Giovanni can get Paul Brown to help him, then the relationship between the Giovanni father and son and the elder Brown should be quite good.

"Hey, Link, hello!" Charlie's tone was much more intimate. "How are you doing in Los Angeles?"

Link laughs and says, "I had a nice holiday in Los Angeles. Are you comfortable answering the phone right now?"

Charlie seemed to have someone next to him and said, "Wait a minute." It took a few seconds for him to speak again. "Now it's talkative. ”

"I want to buy a piece of state land in Nevada. It was a spring pasture for nearby pastures. But the nearby ranchers already use the land for the most part. I want to buy it. Link spoke his mind. "But the land wasn't listed. I hope to convince the state to put that land on the market. ”

"That's a little hard. Link. As long as the state land is planned for use, to change it, it needs to be approved by the state legislature. And a certain number of parliamentarians have to put forward bills. ”

"So I'm going to bother you at this time! You know Senator Brown, don't you? Can you introduce me to me?"

Charlie was on the other end of the phone, silent for a while, and said, "Listen to Link, that's not a good idea! If you contact the councillors directly, you'll be caught, and the councillors won't agree to your request." Neither will old Brown. ”

Link just wanted Charlie's help to listen to what the other party said. He immediately said, "So what am I going to do to convince them to make a bill and pass it?"

"Now there are more state legislators in Nevada, and there are more Republicans. Even if you get Brown to agree to find someone to submit the bill, the chances of passing it won't be very good. ”

Link was disappointed: "Is there really no way?"

"I can be in the ...... week I'll take a look, I'll go to Renault on Thursday afternoon to test old Brown. But which piece of land do you want?"

Link gave the ground running out of the land, saying, "How sure can the state legislators be if Senator Brown agrees?"

"Hard to say!" said Charlie in a deep voice. And he's unlikely to joke about his political career because of favors. If he pushes for such a land sale, it will give political opponents an opportunity to attack. ”

"Okay. I'm waiting for your good news!" Link put down the phone with a frown.

Now he couldn't buy the two pieces of land he wanted.

In his plan, he should confirm the land he has bought before applying for the qualification to operate wind power. After that qualification, contact the manufacturer of the wind turbine.

If he can't buy those two pieces of land, or if it takes too long, then he has to prepare for the construction of the wind farm first. But if people know about his plans, I am afraid that the two pieces of land will pay a greater price if they want to buy them.

He originally had more than half a billion in cash. Now I have bought $500 million in government bonds, leaving more than $4 billion. With more than a billion dollars left to pay this year's taxes, at least more than one billion can be used as reserves. For example, investing in Hollywood movies, and suddenly good projects.

Based on the amount of money he has in mind, he has spent more than $3 billion to buy and install wind turbines. At the current average unit price, he should be able to build wind turbines with a capacity of two million kilowatts.

If he can't buy those two pieces of land, can he set up a wind power company and look for a wind turbine manufacturer by the way?

He checked on the Internet and found that there are many wind turbine manufacturers, but after comparing the reference prices, they are the cheapest in China.

He knows Chinese and can check out the pages of Chinese producers. Some British media have also introduced China's wind power industry.

He found that many European media said that China is the best wind power technology in the world today. The price advantage also makes China's wind turbines very competitive.

According to normal thinking, if he wants to do wind power, it is, of course, to choose the most cost-effective Chinese wind power. He also didn't want his business to be interfered with by any outside factors. But he knew there might be no way to avoid it.

Politics is not usually absent in international business competition. As a new energy source, wind power is now being vigorously developed by countries around the world. But technology is still improving.

Technology research and development requires money. If you want to stay ahead in this industry, you need to have money to invest in research, and that money can't be provided by the government, and most of that money depends on commercial profits.

If others know that he is ready to place an order of three billion dollars, this order will definitely collapse wind power manufacturers in various countries.

That's why he hopes to buy all the land before contacting him. Otherwise, at least that piece of state land will be greatly affected and restricted because of the ownership of this order.

He thought about it again and again, and finally decided to wait for Charlie's final result before making a decision. If Charlie doesn't get good news from old Brown. Then he wouldn't think about getting that land again.

If there is any possibility, then he will first take the land and then choose the manufacturer of the wind turbine.

After he figured it out, he called Matthew and asked him to help him set up a power company, which was engaged in wind power and photovoltaic power generation.

Matthew didn't say much, and after asking him about his requirements, he learned that he was going to set up a private company, which was a relatively simple procedure. Matthew said, "I'll send you an email, and you should first prepare the information according to the requirements in the email. Call me when you're ready. ”

"Okay, I'll call you when I'm ready. ”

Link decided to set up a company in Neva because Neva does not charge state corporate income tax on ordinary businesses. For Nevada's more than two million people, taxes from industry, mining, and casinos can support the state's finances.

For the next two days, Link went to Las Vegas to find Harry, and at the same time took care of the operation of the restaurant. I have to say that Harry's opening of his first western restaurant in a retirement community did make business quite good.

Harry had plans for the restaurant's expansion, and he wanted to make a name for himself in Las Vegas before opening branches in other neighborhoods. That will allow the new store to find a steady source of customers.

Link had no objection to this, but that would have a big impact on the sale of cattle on his farm. In another month or two, the cattle on all three of his farms will need to start slaughtering. Especially the cattle of the Ozette farm. Now he has to buy some calves, or he will be gone. But with so many cattle bought, the first cattle will be sold this winter.

He didn't know if he would be able to find a slaughterhouse to buy his cattle – he had offended the big food companies.

But so far, Ozette hasn't bought a single cow this year. Today, there are more than 20,000 head of cattle there, and even if that number is alone, more than 20 cattle are slaughtered every day. Where can he sell so much beef?

On this day, Benjamin also came to him because of the matter on the farm: "Link, the amount of beef that Fan's needs have increased, and now we have to slaughter two cows a day to meet the needs of both your restaurant and Fan's." But according to the slaughter of two cows a day, this is already the limit, if more is slaughtered in the future, our cattle will not be able to support us to slaughter every day. ”

Link was a little surprised: "Isn't there only about four hundred pounds of beef on Fan's side every day?"

"They said it was because they were cooperating with a travel agency in China and would entertain the tourists of that travel agency. And their business is also a lot better. It is said that our beef also has credit. Benjamin said to Link after the table. "They say that the demand for their Fan family is likely to increase. ”

This is good news for Link.

However, a thousand cattle on Hans's farm could not meet this supply.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll contact Hanova and ask them to slaughter the cattle or just bring them live." ”

Benjamin also has nothing to say about this workaround. "We have more than 1,000 acres of arable land on our farm, and that arable land is now mainly used for corn and wheat," he added. I would recommend also growing some vegetables that are suitable for our climate. In addition, I propose to cultivate an additional 300 to 500 acres of arable land for the cultivation of vegetables, with which we can supply to the Fan family at the same time, and the transportation cost will be saved. And our fruit may have a small amount of fruit this year. I plan to start looking for an acquirer. And those rainbow trout and leaflip fish too. This year, another part of the meeting will be able to go public. ”

"Do you have all the eyebrows?"

"Not yet, I'm going to report to you, and if you agree, I think it's time to prepare for the sale of those products on the farm. ”

Link certainly doesn't object to employees being active at work. He nodded and said, "You did remind me." Those things need to be considered. ”

He remembered that Jeff had said that some friends were interested in the fish. He said, "Maybe you can talk to Jeff about the sale of those fish." He seems to have said that he had contacted a friend who made aquaculture. ”

Benjamin smiled and said, "I will, I hope his friend will buy all the fish on the farm." That would make it a lot easier for me. Jeff doesn't seem to be on the farm lately, though. ”

"He's going to work with the Wildlife and Marine Life Conservation Agency. You know, his Hans Fishery sells hundreds of thousands of fry that are specifically used for the restocking of the Colorado River. ”

"Yes, I think I heard him say it last year. Benjamin said with a smile. He told him that he could make a higher profit than buying fry from a private fishery. ”

"It's always easier for the government to make money. Of course, other costs are also higher. ”

"If I wasn't told, I'd go to work first. ”

"Good. ”

Benjamin's remarks this time also made Link suddenly think of the sales of products from several of his farms, and the pressure will be very high this year.

First of all, the beef, if he didn't want it to be on the supermarket shelves, he would have to find more customers, because the cattle from Ozette Farm would be slaughtered in two or three months.

Of course, the most important thing is the wine.

His three estates produced nearly 40 million bottles of wine this year, including those from the other two farms, totaling nearly 70 million bottles. And he doesn't have any sales channels now. If you want to sell most of your wine, the pressure is not ordinary.
