Link understands his mistake. Or rather, in such a part of Benehans's company, neither he nor Jessica thought it through. The problem of production capacity was not considered before, and the scientists were only in charge of research, and the company's management did not communicate with the scientists.

That's probably a lesson.

He talked to Jessica about it when he returned to Washington.

Jessica also regretted it, saying, "I only thought about how to sell the product, but I forgot about the production of the product, I'm really stupid!"

Link didn't mean to blame or accuse her, he just wanted her to know about it.

It was entirely a consequence of the inexperience of the two of them, and they got carried away in the face of a sudden meeting that could take off Benehans.

"It's not too bad right now. According to Florin's practice, the two factories can produce and supply six million acres a month. I don't think we'll have a lot of business in the beginning. It should be enough. ”

"But what if we see a big increase in business volume in the future?" Jessica said with concern. "You know, I recruited almost fifteen hundred service men. They are being trained, and they can form at least four hundred teams. It can serve up to half a million acres of farms at a time. I'm worried that in the end, the supply of viruses will not keep up with demand. ”

He didn't think it was a problem: "That's fine. Florin will choose a suitable factory building to be converted into a workshop, and it will be rebuilt in two to three months, as long as the construction period is tighter. I feel like we can catch up with our sales growth. ”

"I hope that's the case!" Jessica suggested after a moment's thought. "Maybe we don't need to expand the number of service personnel for the time being. Or wait for now. "Now those service personnel are still being trained, and that kind of training can last about a month. If we continue to increase the number of people now, it will only be wasteful.

Link thinks the same way.

He nodded and said, "It's really not appropriate to increase the number of service personnel now." He was not only thinking about capacity, but also about other competitors suddenly launching products that could compete with the amaranth virus.

Amaranth virus may be effective and may be safer than other competitive products. But compared with other competitors, Benehans has a weakness that cannot be repaired in a short period of time. It's entering a completely new market, and it's a single product.

Agriculture in the United States has formed a whole system. Pesticides, seeds, services, transportation and sales are all controlled by a few giants. Any part of this system can influence the farmer's choice of agricultural supplies.

And Benehans can't even do it all right now. Once other competitors launch competing products, the market will only tilt in favor of the competitors.

"Why don't you let me go to work too. Jessica thinks it's boring to stay at home lately. She grabbed Link's arm and said flatteringly. "I can be your assistant. Hmm, special assistant to the chairman, I'm a very good candidate. Not only competent, but also pleasing to the eye. ”

There was no one else in Link's living room, so he teased and said, "But you can't do it now!"

Jessica blinked, and it took a moment to understand what he meant, and she put her arms around his neck and smiled charmingly, "You bastard! You know that, don't you?"

Link eventually convinces Jessica to continue raising the baby at home, and he continues to go to work.

Two days later, Ozette welcomed a group of Chinese engineers. They are from Huaxin Company, and they are going to build the foundation of wind power for Ozette.

Although the previous contract had not yet been completed, Link asked them to prioritize the installation of wind turbines at Ozette Farms when they signed the wind power contract for Ozette Farms.

Because of the high groundwater level and the fact that there is too much wine to store, the cellars of Ozette could not be built underground, but could only be built into high-rise buildings. Wine cellars exposed to the ground require electricity to maintain constant temperature and humidity in the cellar. The electricity consumption is very large.

At the same time, two factories near Ozette also require a lot of electricity. Although the cost of generating electricity from wind power is not necessarily low, it is still cheaper than buying electricity from the grid. So he wanted to use the wind power in Ozette to power the cellar and the factory.

And now, he has another reason to give priority to the installation of Ozette wind power. Once Fox's new town is occupied, if electricity is still purchased from outside, a new high-voltage line will need to be pulled from the north coast and a transformer station will need to be built. Cost is not the main issue yet, the problem is that we don't know when this deadline will be completed. Link didn't have that American time wait.

According to the contract, Ozette will install at least four wind turbines by the end of the year, generating enough electricity to supply the farm's wine cellar and all the residents of Fox.

According to the contract, 24 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 192,000 kilowatts will be built on the coast of Ozette Farm, and the effective power will reach about 80,000 kilowatts based on the average wind power over many years. Not only will the electricity generated be enough to meet the electricity needs of the Ozette farm and two factories, but it will also sell a large amount of electricity to the power grid company in Huazhou, and Fox is the first market.

The shortcomings of wind power made him need to build a storage station in addition to preparing to install wind turbines.

After the people from Huaxin Company came, Link only arranged someone to assist, and he didn't care about the rest for the time being.

However, all the wind turbines on Hans Farm have been operating safely for more than a month, and no problems have been found in the third-party-led inspection. He needs to pay all the balance for the wind power at Hans Farm. Advance payments are also made for the other two farms.

That morning, he went to the Ozette Bank building to find Claire and asked him to transfer the money for the wind turbine to Huaxin through the bank. Of course, this is with bank money. It's like he took out a loan from a bank.

He does this kind of "superfluous" thing, if an investment project has a loan, in terms of personal income tax on the income of the project, it can operate a tax deduction. So, not to mention that he doesn't have much money in his private account now, even if he does, he will consider paying that amount through a bank loan. Anyway, the interest or something, it's just the left pocket and the right pocket.

Of course, because of the share distribution ratio of Ozette, all the profits of the bank will be forcibly divided, and then the individual income tax will be charged. But the bank's profits, can operate more places.

Link was about to leave after saying that.

Claire stopped him and said, "Link, now the bank's capital reserves have been reduced to five billion. ”

Link sat back down and said, "As long as there is no problem with Neil, the funds will be back in two months." ”

"But what about your agricultural plan? Five billion dollars, which can only support a loan of six million acres at most. ”

Link did the math and said, "It should be eight million acres." For every acre of land, the farmer only needs to borrow $600, and they pay $200 per acre. Benehans would receive $1.6 billion and lend it to the banks, which would support another 2.5 million acres of land. If we continue like this, we should be able to hold on until Neil's operation is over. ”

He paused for a moment, and did not hide it from Carlisle, saying, "For at least three months, Benehans will only be able to serve a maximum of six million acres of land per month." ”

I learned that he had such a problem because he didn't pay attention to the production capacity problem. Claire smiled and said, "It seems that I don't have to worry about the funds for the time being." But you don't have to worry about that. In fact, I've always felt that you were too optimistic about your farming plans. Those giants are definitely not going to just watch you grab their market. I think it would be great if Benehans could capture 20% of the market. ”

"That's really remarkable. ”

There are more than 900 million acres of agricultural land in the United States, of which more than 400 million acres are farmland, and the rest is pasture.

The main farmland is mainly distributed in the central and eastern regions, which is the hardest hit area of Amaranth. According to Benihans' market research, at least 200 million acres of arable land have been affected by the impact of Amaranth and have experienced reduced yields. Of course, it is only a few of these states that have the greatest impact.

If you can win a market of 40 million acres, it will have a turnover of 32 billion US dollars. Even if it is divided into five years, it is indeed a very remarkable performance for a small company.

"Of course, if those giants can't come up with competitive products, maybe Benehans can win more markets. It's just that I think that's very unlikely. ”

The U.S. pesticide market alone is huge, with tens of billions of dollars every year. There are also seeds or other agricultural services. The combined agricultural output of the entire United States is worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year, and no one will want to give it up. The amaranth virus seems to be just a product, but in fact it is related to the entire market.

The U.S. agricultural system is a whole, and it is entirely possible to tie farmers to their own companies with one product. Amaranth virus may not yet have that ability. But let's not forget that Benihans has already applied for a patent for high-yielding seeds. If Benehans had used the Amaranth virus to establish contact with the farmer, the vast majority of the farm's consumption would likely have gone to Benihans. That's something that companies that already dominate the market absolutely don't want to see.

"Let's hope they're stupid," Link said, "and he didn't dare to expect other rivals to turn a blind eye to Benehans' actions. But now he can only wait for the opponent to play his cards.

He stood up and said, "That's it." I'll go first. ”

"And, Link. Claire stood up at the same time. "If you could buy West Coast TV, would you really decide to take control of it in the name of the bank?"

Link nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Claire seemed to have a different opinion, saying, "Although it doesn't matter if you take control of that company in that name, it's the same for you." But I'm worried that in the name of the bank, the outside world will deepen the impression of the Chinese factor in the bank. ”

Link pondered for a moment before he understood what he meant.

He sat down again and said, "You do have some truth in what you say. ”

According to his previous thinking, he does not directly control in his own name, hoping to dilute the Chinese impression of the TV station and make it easier for white people to accept. But now it seems that he only thought of the TV station, but not the bank.

No matter what he does, after the TV station buys it out, of course, the program still has to secretly favor the Chinese. Maybe that can fool the average audience, but it certainly can't fool the elite. They are the ones who manipulate the financial industry.

If a bank is labelled as pro-China, it may also have an impact on the bank's operations.

"And what do you suggest?"

"Actually, I think it's okay to merge West Coast TV and West Hollywood Media. If you want to make two companies independent, also integrate them into a group, so that both companies can operate as subsidiaries. Or you can put it all under the name of Martha's investment company, and that would solve the problem perfectly. ”
