Link is going to New York, and Barbara is not surprised. She also knows that now this son is the richest man in the United States. Is there a rich man in the whole of America who never goes out to play like him?

She nodded and said, "It's winter, and you don't have that much work on your farm, so you really should go and relax." ”

Link seemed to be obsessed with work two years ago, much to the worry of both Barbara and Jeff. She didn't expect that two years ago, Link's sudden love affair would hit him so hard. Now that Link is willing to go out, she's certainly happy to see it happen.

"How long are you going. Will you be back for Christmas?"

Link smiled and said, "Of course. I'll only be in New York for a week. ”

"Actually, you can spend more time in New York. You know, it's at least half a month before Christmas. She paused and said. "However, I heard that the northeastern part of the country is suffering from snowstorms. ”

"Yes, there are said to be community power outages in several states due to the snowstorm, which has killed dozens of people. ”

"God forbid!" Barbara said, drawing a cross on her chest. "Then you have to be careful, too. You're not going to fly your own plane, are you!" His little plane is not as resistant to a blizzard as a flight.

Link nodded, "Of course, that's not safe." ”

At dinner in the evening, Alice learns that he is going to New York and laments: "If you can postpone it for a week, I can go with you." ”

Their school has a week to go on vacation.

Link thought for a moment and said, "Before Christmas, maybe we can go skiing in Sandia Mountain." ”

"Sandia Ski Resort in New Mexico?" Jeff said after a moment's thought. "That's probably not a good idea. ”

"WHY?" SAID ALICE, LOOKING AT JEFF INCREDULOUSLY. "Dad, I love skiing. Yes, I'm like going skiing. ”

"Because I can't ski, baby!" Barbara said with a wry smile. "I'm afraid of snow because I've been buried in it. ”

Her words stunned the three Link siblings, they never knew about it.

Alice hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Mom! She walked over and hugged Barbara, turning to Jeff. "Dad, I'm sorry!"

Jeff smiled and said, "It's okay, honey! I think we might be able to go on a vacation to Miami Beach." yes, I guess that's a good idea. We're going as a family!"

"Honey, it's been a cold year, and Miami probably isn't an ideal vacation destination," Barbara said. ”

"But it's the warmest in the country. Oh no, except for Hawaii. Maybe we can go to Hawaii. Jeff said with a smile. "We I remember we went there once before we got married. ”

Barbara said, "Maybe we can go to Ozette Farm." I heard that there are a lot of wild animals in the forest. Are there any red deer? Fifteen years ago, Jeff wanted to make a deer head specimen. ”

Link nodded and said, "There are several herds of red deer there. But Mom, it's snowing there this year too. ”

Barbara asked her daughter to sit back down to eat, and said with a smile, "It's okay, as long as I'm not close to the snow on the slope, I won't have a mental block." ”

Jeff was stunned for a moment: "Are there a lot of red deer in Ozette?"

Link nodded and said, "There are quite a few, some workers have counted them, at least six hundred." There is also a herd of white-lipped deer, though there are fewer of them. Now that the grass has grown, they have a much greater range of movement. In the coming years, the number is likely to skyrocket. An Indian worker on the farm once suggested that I raise deer, and he said it was about as profitable as raising cattle. ”

Jeff laughed and said, "Maybe your workers are right." The red deer is a treasure all over its body. A pair of deer antler velvets can sell for four to five hundred dollars a year. Deerskin is also a good fur. ”

Link smiled and said, "There are no beasts there, I want to let them reproduce slowly without natural predators." What he meant by this was that he had that intention.

"Maybe you can do some human intervention as well. Jeff said, forking a steak. Next to his minor daughter, he said in vague language. "That would make them grow faster. ”

Link understood what he meant by artificial insemination. It's just that the number of bases is relatively small, and even with manual intervention, it will take at least several years for those red deer to generate real benefits. It's still early.

"I don't have that plan for the time being. Ozette doesn't have that kind of condition yet. He left the deer to fend for themselves on the farm. He didn't really care if they could develop or not.

After a less formal family meeting, the Hans family finally decided to wait for Link to return to Ozette Farm. The final decision, as Barbara said, "Maybe we can have a Christmas there." ”

The next day, Jeff drove Link and three bodyguards to the airport.

Link had a bit of luck when he flew over New York. Although the clouds were thick, there was no heavy snowfall, and the plane landed at LaGuardia Airport only 30 minutes late.

At the passenger exit, Link meets Fren, who has come to pick her up. Flon smiled and gave him a big hug, "Link, welcome to heaven." ”

"Maybe I'm the devil!" Link said with a smile after the two parted. "Hell is better for me. ”

Flon laughed and said, "This can be hell too." He laughed and said. "Let's leave the airport first. I've got you in a room at the Four Seasons Hotel in the Financial District. We still have some way to go. You know that New York's transportation infrastructure is forever behind what it actually needs for at least twenty years. ”

They walked out of the airport departure hall, and the biting cold air made Link can't help but wrap his coat tightly.

Fren took Link into an extended Cadillac. The heating in the car was on all the time, and Link immediately felt hot after getting into the car. As soon as the car started, he took off his coat and said, "Is there a zero temperature today?" The temperature unit in the United States is Fahrenheit, not Celsius, which is commonly used in the world.

"Probably yes! It's three degrees above zero. Fren took out his phone and looked at it. "It was probably the lowest temperature I've ever experienced in New York. ”

-3 degrees Fahrenheit is almost close to -20 degrees Celsius.

"Maybe the weather will warm up soon. ”

Fren smiled and said, "No, maybe it'll be cold for a week or two." The forecast of the Bureau of Meteorology is that there will be stronger southward movement of the air in the coming week. ”

Link laughs and suggests, "Maybe you should go on vacation to Hawaii." ”

"I'll consider your suggestion. But before I can do that, I need to get my hands done. Furren said, closing the partition between the front and back seats before continuing. "Next week, I will decide whether to close the position or not. ”

Link nodded and said, "According to your estimates, how big will our yield be?"

"I think it will be more than 150% before tax. ”

Link whistled and said, "Amazing result." ”

"It's really remarkable. Fren also smiled and whispered. "The Wall Street giants began to try to woo me. Just yesterday!"

"A good thing or a bad thing?"

"It's a good thing, but it's bad news. Seeing that the coffee was ready, Flon poured two cups. Place a cup in front of Link. "If I throw myself into their camp. As long as I'm obedient, as long as there's still use value, I don't have to worry about losing money. ”

"Well, they're asking for a puppet. ”

"That's right. They just wanted to make me a puppet. Flon took a cup of coffee, sneered, and said. "There are only two kinds of people on Wall Street, one is the predator and the other is the puppet of the predator. People like me, who do not accept their kindness, have only one way to go. That is perdition. ”

Link was speechless, silent for a long time before he became acquainted: "Although I think it's very unfair, I also feel that their behavior seems beyond reproach. ”

Flon sneered, "Indeed, their actions are beyond reproach! The purpose of Wall Street's existence is to concentrate the money of ordinary shareholders in the hands of predators." And I'm an outlier who wants to steal money from them. You know, heterogeneity is always frowned upon. ”

Link laughed and said, "Then what are your plans?" ”

"The financial aristocrats want me to put down my bow and become their knight. But in reality, they just want to be a sword in their hands and let me stab whomever I want. Flon said in a deep voice. "That's not what I wanted. ”

Link pondered for a moment and said, "There is an old Chinese saying: those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish." I think if you don't agree, they will do their best to encircle you. Know you're gone. ”

Fren sneered and said, "You're right. That's how they always do it. If I refuse, they will keep an eye on my actions. I don't miss any chance to blow. They have hundreds of times more money than I can snipe at any of my operations. I can get the bank to downgrade my credit rating so that my overnight rate will go up, and my yield will go down. It is also not possible to arbitrarily invoke the leverage. It can be said that as long as I am still mixed in the financial market in the United States, they can use a huge amount of money to try to snipe at me without losing money, and eventually make me bankrupt and even owe huge debts to the bank. In short, it made me disappear from the financial markets. ”

Link listened quietly to what he had said, and asked again, "Then what are your plans?"

"I need your opinion. Link. Fren looked at him earnestly. "But they still agreed to say no, and it was a mixed bag for me. I need your opinion!"

"I—what advice can I give you?" Link said, spreading his hands. "You know, I don't even know how to buy and sell stocks. ”

"I don't need your professional advice. If I were to refuse, I would withdraw some of the funds from the company and set up a fund. ”

Link didn't understand what he said.

Fren Jian looked confused, and explained with a wry smile: "I'm scared. Once I turn them down, maybe I'll soon be left with nothing. Even if I can keep myself, it's hard to make much of a move until I have the right opportunity. No matter how much money the company holds, it doesn't work. ”

"So you want to take the money out and set up a fund. ”

"Yes. In that case, even if the company goes bankrupt, I still have a way back. ”

"It's a nice note. You don't need any advice from me at all!"

"But the company's funds can't be too small," said Furlen seriously. I hope you can inject money. ”

"Inject capital? That's not funny! Fren, you're divesting yourself. ”

"I mean, hopefully we can be the right partners, the kind of shares. ”
