Chapter 613: Pollution-free in the Line (Asking for Recommendations for New Books)
After a round out and back, Link was finally able to take a break. However, he plans to go on vacation to China at the end of June, and he will have to speed up the handling of those company affairs.
When he got home, he also needed to spend some time working in his study during the day. As for taking children, a pair of little ones are playing in his study. Although Evan often makes trouble, he can take care of more things than concentrating on the children.
On this day, Link has been home for the third day.
After he had served the two little ones for lunch at noon, he took them to the study. The two little ones are taking a nap in the study.
He turned his phone into a vibrating phone and danced on his desk.
He immediately picked up his phone and glanced at the two sleeping children, then answered the phone and said in a soft voice, "Hello, Kempner." ”
"Link, my friends are willing to support your proposal and agree to raise shares entirely by issuing new shares. ”
"This is good news. Link said with a smile. "I mean, thank you! Kempner. ”
"That's good for all shareholders. Kempner said with a smile on the phone. "One more thing, Link. We at the North Texas Cruelty-Free Food Standards Association are planning an event in Eastern New Mexico. Mostly invite local farmers. I think Bob mentioned it to you. ”
"He did mention it to me. I have no problem with you holding an event in Hanova. ”
"I know you're rooting for us. That's not what I'm trying to say, though. You know that you are very famous now, and you are definitely the most famous and highest-ranking of the farmers who support pollution-free food, and of course the most capable one. So I invite you to this event. If you have the time, I would be very much looking forward to your presence at the event. ”
Link thought for a moment and asked, "What is the specific time of the event?"
"Ten o'clock next Saturday morning. We host a group picnic and visit Hanova's cattle ranch and pasture farming. An open-air forum will be held in the afternoon to discuss the prospects and markets for pollution-free agriculture. ”
It's Friday. Next Saturday, that's one week to go. Saturday is the weekend, so if it's a normal day, he's probably free. But now he's much busier than usual. He thought for a moment and said, "I need to look at my schedule to see if I can attend." I'll try to find time when I can, though. ”
"You're sure, please notify me. I'm good at making arrangements. ”
"Good!"
Link smiled as he put down the phone. Kempner is more interested in promoting pollution-free agriculture than he thought.
As far as he knew, Kempner had conducted more than two dozen similar outreach operations in the American South, particularly in the Southwest. It is said that the response has been quite good. At present, in addition to North Texas, at least 6,000 farms have made it clear that they will produce to pollution-free standards.
More than 10,000 other farms are also in the midst of positive change. And more farms are waiting.
Of course, he didn't have nothing to contribute. Without the new agricultural technologies introduced by the Benihans Group, the pollution-free food standard would not have been accepted so quickly. Moreover, Link, as the most famous "farmer" in the United States, openly supports pollution-free food standards, which is a strong support.
He discovers that Kempner is not a lover of money, but seems to be more interested in fame. Perhaps Kempner has plans to get involved in politics. Now Kempner is in his thirties, and he didn't have the capital to participate in politics before, but now he has capital, and if he is slowly managing his reputation, even if he participates in politics, the ceiling will not be very high.
He thinks maybe Kempner wants to run after he has a better footing.
He doesn't care what the other party's plan is, just the other party's attention to the pollution-free standard. Moreover, if Kempner can take the position, it will also be a good thing for the pollution-free standard. So if Kempner really has political aspirations, he can even do some help.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Caitlin pulled him downstairs. Jessica was coming back soon, and although the girl couldn't read the clock yet, she seemed to know roughly what time it was.
Not long after he descended to the living room on the first floor, Jessica returned home. Caitlin spread her little hand and smiled and rushed over.
Jessica picked her up.
Link, who followed behind, saw that her face showed a trace of exhaustion, so he picked up his daughter and asked, "Busy at work?"
Jessica smiled, shook her head and said, "It's not very busy, either." It may be that I haven't had a good rest lately. Feeling a little tired. Hannah is learning to draw?"
Link frowned slightly when he heard her say. Holding her daughter in one hand and holding her waist in the other, she walked over to the sofa: "She went directly to Alyssa's side." Also called me on the way. ”
Now the child doesn't cry much in the middle of the night, and Jessica doesn't rest too late, why can't she rest well? ”
"No, I'll just adjust it. "Tomorrow is the weekend and she can skip work. "Maybe it's because I've been thinking about arranging the company lately, thinking about more things, and overusing my brain. It happened to be menstruation again. ”
Link said at the end of June the family went to China to play. Although Jessica didn't feel the right time, neither of the two children had been out and about since they were born. It's that Hannah is almost six years old, and she hasn't had a few family outings. So she didn't object to Link's proposal either.
But before the vacation, she must arrange the company's affairs in advance. Otherwise, neither she nor Link will be in the United States by then. If there weren't some things that needed to be arranged, there might be more things for her and Link to deal with later.
"Then don't think too much about it. Leave the unfinished business to me. Let Jennifer be out of class tonight. ”
Zhang Yun comes from Seattle every Wednesday and Friday night to give Chinese lessons to Hannah and Jessica.
"I rested that night. But Hannah can still learn. Actually, my work is basically done. The main thing is the mandate and the arrangement of some follow-up work. Jessica sat down on the couch and said with a smile. "Don't worry, I'm not that bad. And then I was able to take two days off. As she spoke, she picked up her son as she walked up to her on the couch and sat him down.
She didn't want Link to worry about her, so she smiled and said, "How's your job going here?"
"I don't have anything on my side. It is the companies that let me see and approve the future work plan in advance. A lot of work has already been scheduled. ”
The next day, Jessica was really in good spirits again, and Link was relieved.
Just another week later, when Link saw that he was fine, he planned to go to Hanova Farm to participate in the promotion of pollution-free food standards. He called Kempner two days in advance.
When Kempner learned he was going to attend, he invited more influential media outlets. This was the main purpose of his invitation to Link.
Whether Link wants it or not, his every move now is likely to be the focus of media attention. It's just that Link is hiding in his castle in Washington. Link's life is simply not available to reporters. So if you can know in advance that Link will appear, the reporter will definitely be more interested in the activities he is organizing.
Link certainly understood Kempner's intentions, but it was in line with his own purpose.
Although the event was held at Hanova Farm, the people at Hanova Farm did not participate too much, and only a few people coordinated with Kempna's people. By the time Link arrived in Hanova, Kempner's people were already busy.
He found Kempner, who was busy, and when Kempner saw him, he smiled and said, "Because there are more people coming than expected." So some of the deficiencies in preparation are now being remedied. I need to look at everything. Interested in coming together?"
Link followed him and checked it out.
Kempner confirmed the preparations and told Link about the event: "After confirming that you are going to participate, more than 150 farmers have signed up. So this event will be attended by farmers from more than 400 farms. And I'm worried that when I come, some farmers will bring their friends with them. ”
Although this event requires registration first, if someone comes without registering, they will not turn it away. More people can come, Kempner can't ask for it.
Another 20 media outlets applied to visit the event. ”
Link laughs, "This is probably the most guest at Habano Farm. ”
"Haha. Perhaps!" Kempner found a flaw in the shade net of the open-air venue he had prepared, and called someone to correct it before continuing. "You don't have a farm in another state, and if you had, maybe it would have been more successful in other states. ”
The event was the most attended by farmers at any event he had ever held. He thinks it's because Hanova Farm has a better demonstration effect than other farms, and more people want to come and see it.
Link said with a smile: "There are now at least 100 pollution-free food standards associations." ”
"Yes, indeed. Kempner is also quite happy with the results he has achieved. "Although they are still relatively loosely organized, this is a foundation. I've talked to some of the state's pollution-free standards organizations, and they also want to form a general association of the states. The General Association certifies the products of pollution-free food origin. But it's a process. ”
"That's really not a hurry. ”
Link knew that the main thing was that agriculture now took more time than industry in terms of extension. No amount of human influence on animals is likely to allow food or meat production to run at a high rate. A computer may be able to be produced without a single man-hour. However, the reduction of the production cycle of livestock is limited.
The implementation of pollution-free food standards has been quite good now!
