The following text:

…………

In the evening, Jessica made herself a candlelit dinner at home. After romance at the dinner table, of course, it's a wave in bed.

The wind and rain stopped, and after the two took a bath, they didn't feel sleepy for the time being. Jessica lay in the crook of his back, still with a hint of laziness after satisfaction. But what they're talking about is a matter of work: "The company is doing the final validation of a product. As long as the verification passes. The company's business may be expanded to North Africa, Europe and Australia. ”

"What is it?"

"You really don't care about the company at all. I remember mentioning it in the monthly report that was sent to your mailbox last month. ”

Link knew he was at the wrong and said, "You know I'm believing in you." With you in charge of the company, I don't have to worry about it at all!"

Jessica knew it was sweet talk, but she still ate him. She rolled her eyes and let him go, saying, "It's a fungus against locusts." This year's drought is not limited to the United States, but also in North Africa and Australia. Drought can easily induce locust plagues. If there is still a possibility of locust plague this year, it should be Australia. Hopefully, our validation will be completed before then. ”

"You seem to be expecting them to suffer. Link stroked her half-silky face like a baby's skin and said. "If it does work out, it's a good publicity opportunity. ”

"Yes. Australia and Europe are both areas with a relatively large impact on locust harvesting. The locust plague in Europe was formed after North Africa crossed the Mediterranean. The threat is not too great. But the locust plague in Australia is very serious. And over the years, their locust plague has occurred almost every three years. Since the beginning of the new century, the most serious one has caused their agricultural losses to exceed $5 billion. If our products can eradicate the locust plague, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world. ”

Link smiled and said, "Have you thought about the future development of the company?"

"Of course I did. But I don't know if you're willing to take the company public. ”

"I can put aside 30% of the shares for listing. You take out 2.5%, and how much Florin is willing to come up with depends on his own ideas. Then your shares and I will account for more than half of the company's shares, and then we will always be in control of the company. ”

Hearing him say this, Jessica couldn't help but hug him tightly and said, "Maybe you can buy most of his stock from my dad." He and my mom only had one child, me. He would have been willing. ”

Link smiled and said, "I'll propose it to him when he retires." He paused and said. "The company's technology needs to be kept secret. I remember that the company had a confidentiality clause. ”

"Yes. According to the contract, every employee who has signed a contract with us, whether dismissed by us due to mistakes or voluntarily resigned, cannot work in the same kind of enterprise for ten years. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "Just a contract is not insurance. "If it's some big companies that do it for those people, that kind of contract doesn't do much.

In fact, there are better ways for companies to woo those employees. Right now, they don't have a lot of lab staff in their company. It won't be very expensive to woo you in that way.

"I intend to give 5% of my shares as an option award within the company. How to implement it, you think about the plan. ”

"A 5% stake? If the company's research is really successful, that's a lot of money. It could be tens of billions. Are you really willing to do it?"

"There's nothing to be reluctant towards. I'm well aware. If they change jobs, 75% of my shares may never become 10 billion!" he said with a smile. "Maybe more experimenters will join in the future, and you'd better think about that as well. ”

Jessica found a comfortable position in the back bend of his back and said in a nasal voice, "I understand." But the shares can't be let out of you, so it's better for me and my dad to come out. You have already suffered a big loss by increasing your capital by 250 million this time. ”

Link didn't object either. In fact, he didn't want to worry too much about that.

The option incentive system of enterprises has long been a mature enterprise management system. At the stage of the company's development, employees who have contributed to the company are given the right to purchase a certain number of shares at an agreed price within a specified period of time with a small amount of money.

That gives employees a greater sense of belonging to the company. Because as long as the stock price is higher than the agreed price after the expiration of the option, then they can buy the company's shares at a relatively low price.

So as long as the company has a future, they will work harder. Because this effort may bring them great benefits in the future.

For example, many times I hear that Microsoft has created hundreds of billionaires, thousands of multimillionaires. Actually, it's because they get the option to buy it, and when they get it and they've been working at Microsoft, when the option expires, they might be able to buy $10 million worth of stock for just a million dollars. The difference of nine million dollars in the middle is actually a reward for his hard work.

"Hannah and I are planning to move to Ozette early next month. Would you like to go along?"

"Really?" Jessica listened. "Hannah Castle is completely renovated?"

"Yes, today I went to the acceptance. A few days ago, I interviewed a new housekeeper online. ”

"Is it moving on Labor Day?"

"I'm going to move in on September 3rd!" it was Sunday, the day before Labor Day this year. "You're moving in too?"

"I want to, too. But what about the company, my dear? Maybe I can buy a plane and fly over with you on the weekend. "Even if she injects 30 million yuan into the company, she can still buy a small plane."

Link didn't want her to fly in the sky too often. Small airplanes are not the safest means of transportation. And the small plane flies from Sacramento to Ozet, at least two hours. Unless it's with a jet. But that's also hard. And he wanted to be with her more often than once a week.

He proposed, "Otherwise, we'll move our corporate headquarters to Fox." It's only a dozen miles from Mora Manor. You can go to work every day. ”

Jessica listened to his advice and thought it was completely feasible. Nowadays, the Internet is developed, and it is not necessary to face to work. She nodded and said, "Okay." Once Fox had chosen an office location, I would immediately go through the procedures for the relocation of the company. Now the California Agricultural Services Corporation is not too big a company, and the relocation will not be too much trouble. ”

When Link heard her agree, he smiled and said, "Then let's change the name of the company first." It's called Benis Limited. What do you think?"

She thought for a moment and felt that her last name alone would not satisfy her: "Hans Benis, what do you think?"

"It's better to call it Benihans. ”

"Benihans Agricultural Services Co., Ltd. doesn't seem to be bad. Jessica also felt that this was the name that really brought the two of them together. She arched his chest in satisfaction, and said. "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep!"

The next day, Link returned to Nevada, but instead of landing directly at Hans Farm, his plane landed at the North Las Vegas airport.

He came to Las Vegas today for two things. One is that his private jet is about to be delivered. The Gulfstream G650 he ordered will land in North Las Vegas. He didn't have to wait long for his new plane to land on the runway.

He first saw the interior decoration of the plane, and then flew into the sky himself. The overall feeling of the plane for him was quite satisfied. After the balance is paid, the plane will be completely his.

After receiving the plane, he went to the city hall with his bodyguards.

Some time ago, the mayor's secretary contacted him three times and conveyed the mayor's intention to visit him. He just calculated that he was going to Las Vegas today, so he agreed that he would meet the mayor today.

The mayor of Las Vegas was going to visit him, and he probably guessed why. But he also has his own considerations.

At the town hall, he walked all the way to the mayor's office. The secretary helped him knock on the door of Mayor Sinclair's office.

"Welcome, Mr. Hans!" Sinclair smiled as she stepped out from behind her desk and held out her hand to him.

Link shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Mayor." I heard you have something to talk to me about?"

"Yes, please be seated!" Sinclair invited him to sit down on the couch where he was entertaining.

The secretary brought in coffee without commanding. Sinclair told the secretary to go out first. Then he picked up his coffee and said, "Mr. Hans." I think you also know the dilemma that Las Vegas is facing right now. ”

"Yes. The drought has caused considerable water shortages. ”

Of course, the truth is that Las Vegas is not short of water, it's just that non-residents use too much water.

"Yes. This year's drought has been increasingly impacting Las Vegas. Since May, 10,000 families have moved out of the city. The reason is that the water bill is too high. At the same time, the number of tourists coming to the city has decreased by 7% compared to last year. The city's economy has been hit hard. ”

"That's terrible!"

"Mr. Hans must know that. We were looking for water around Las Vegas. But they all failed. We drilled twenty-nine deep wells. Each bite is more than a kilometer deep. In the end, only 1.9 million gallons of water per day were obtained. ”

One million nine hundred thousand gallons, that's about seven thousand cubic meters.

After Las Vegas drilled a self-jet well at Hans Farm, he was confident that he would be able to find confined water. As a result, millions of wells were dug and Ben Stein was brought in to guide the drilling location. However, many wells were drilled to a depth of 1,200 meters, and as a result, no high-flow artesian wells were drilled. Even with a pump, the largest well can pump only 1,000 tons of water a day.

That little bit of water is a drop in the bucket for Las Vegas.

He still smiled and said, "I've heard about this too." According to geologists, confined water layers may be scattered or buried deeper underground. Maybe if we drill deeper, we'll soon be able to find the water layer we want. ”

"Yes. I've also heard what scientists say. But more of us believe the first statement. More than 200 wells were drilled throughout Nevada, resulting in a total of only 10 million gallons of water per day. And most of them need to be pumped by high-pressure water pumps. We don't think there's high-pressure groundwater under Las Vegas. I have to say, this is a very frustrating perception. ”

Link was finally convinced that his guess was correct. He pondered for a moment and asked, "What does Mr. Mayor mean?"

"On behalf of the more than two million residents of Las Vegas, I plead with Hans Farms to provide water to the city. ”

"Mr. Mayor, of course I'd love to have more water than Hans Farm could use to supply to Las Vegas. However, this aqueduct ......"

"No, I think you misunderstood me. Sinclair, of course, knew that Link was playing dumb. How could his request be so simple. Even if all the water from the well at Hans's farm was given to Las Vegas, there was nothing to alleviate the embarrassment. "We want to be able to drill wells at Hanse Farm. Of course, we will compensate you to a certain extent. ”
