Hannah stood in front of Jessica, holding a pair of small hands behind her back, and said to Jessica's stomach seriously, "Brother and sister, you have to be obedient! Also, hurry up and come out and play with your sister. My sister has prepared a lot of toys for you. My sister will play with you......"

Seeing her look like a little adult, Jessica smiled and touched her head and said, "Hannah is so nice!"

"Well, I'm fine. I'm going to be nice to my younger siblings! Can I touch them?"

"Of course!" Jessica told her to put her hand on her belly, which was not too exaggerated.

She turned to Link and smiled and said, "Do you plan to have Hannah participate in the drawing competition?" She will definitely be able to take first place in her age group. ”

Link glanced at Hannah, who was touching her belly, and saw her squinting with a smile, and couldn't help but smile and say, "It's up to her opinion when the time comes." If she wants to participate, let her participate. ”

"That's right. Jessica thought for a moment and said. "Because it's a race that you're fully sponsoring. Hannah is definitely going to get a good place, and I'm worried that someone will say something shady. ”

She felt that she had to be guarded against. Nowadays, there are many people in the United States who don't like Link. Especially those media. Most of the media outlets that Link sued last time have already offered to settle out of court. Because once it is judged that they know that it is a rumor and report it, they will bear a huge additional punitive damages. However, the cases of some of the accused are still pending. However, judging from the current situation, Link has a good chance of winning the case.

It is almost impossible for those media outlets to get any good name out of this lawsuit, but the damage is significant. They may be waiting for Link to make a mistake right now. In the future, they will definitely be careful not to let Link catch their handles. All they have to do is report something specious enough to discredit Link.

Link was not worried about these things, saying, "We can leave the name of the author of the painting without the name on the paper, just leave the corresponding number, and display all the works as an exhibition." That would guarantee basic fairness and justice. ”

"That's a good idea. ”

Both of them were confident in Hannah's level of painting water. And they don't intend to operate in the dark. Link doesn't care if Hannah is famous or not, as long as she can have a good time.

Speaking about the drawing competition, Jessica added: "I spoke to Mayor Camp yesterday and he was very happy that we were able to have the final at Fox. ”

Link was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that you don't have to worry about these things?"

"It's fine. Jessica hugged his arm and shook it, coquettishly said. "I'm careful. And I'm bored at home all the time. ”

Link said helplessly, "Next time you want to do something, tell me first." I will try to accompany you as much as possible. ”

She nodded again and again and said, "I will, I will!"

She smiled and said, "And Alyssa agreed to be the chairman of the judges of the competition, and the position of camp leader of the summer camp should be considered." However, she also agreed to introduce us to some painters to mentor the younger ones. ”

"That's good. If she doesn't agree to be the camp leader, we can also invite some painters from the United States to do so. ”

Jessica smiled and recommended someone, saying, "Remember the old gentleman who bought three paintings of Hannah at the flea market?"

"Of course, he remembered that he was the third person to appreciate Hannah's paintings. "The first, the second, of course, are the two of them.

Mayor Camp mentioned him. Mr. Casper was a painter of Indian origin. Although he is not often at Fox, he runs a gallery at Fox. He's not very well-known, but I've heard that he once ran a teen painting training school in Seattle and is now retired. I think it shouldn't be a problem for him to guide those little painters at his level. ”

"If that's the case, we can put him as an alternative. Link said without even thinking about it. "If Alyssa refuses, I'll invite him. ”

Mayor Camp also said that Mr. Casper, a Fox native, should support such an event. ”

"Hopefully Alyssa won't refuse. ”

Jessica smiled and said, "Actually, even if Alyssa agrees to our invitation, we can invite Mr. Casper to be the permanent instructor." "Anyway, a position like a summer camp doesn't represent a subordinate relationship.

Link was about to say something when his phone rang and he saw that it was from England. He said to Jessica, "It's Bank from England, I'll answer the phone first." ”

Seeing her nod, he answered the phone.

Banker brings him bad news: "Link, I hope this call didn't bother you." But I just got a call from the farm. They said that the wheat planted in the trial did not successfully pass the vernalization stage, and the germination rate was less than 30%, which was completely worthless. So unfortunately, I have to arrange for those acres to grow other crops. ”

"I understand, Mr. Bank. Thank you too much for everything you have done for me. Link was a little disappointed, but he smiled. "Thank you very much!"

Bank laughs, "I'm sorry I couldn't work together this time. But that's not because the wheat seeds are bad, it's because of the weather. None of us expected the temperature in late April to be a bit unusual. I think your wheat still has a future in the UK. Maybe we can do an experiment next year. ”

"Really? That's great!"

Link talked to him for a while before hanging up. He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Now I don't have to worry about it." ”

"Failed in the UK?"

"Yes, it should be too hot. Wheat seeds failed to vernalize. ”

Wheat seeds need to go through a certain period of low temperature after germination, and only in this way can the wheat stand up and develop into a sturdy plant. The seeds they tried to plant were planted too late, and the climate in England may have been a little anomalous. Failed to succeed in vernalization. Many wheat seeds germinate, but they can't push the progeny out of the ground.

He added: "However, Bank said that he could continue to try it next year. Maybe next year it can be successful. ”

In fact, he is also thinking about whether it is a good time to promote those seeds to the outside world.

He hadn't thought it through before. The last time I went to the lab, I heard that the follow-up experiment on wheat seeds was not yet known when it would be completed. This disrupted his plans.

This time, he was able to cooperate with Banker to successfully experiment. There is no way to promote it externally. Although they signed up for a recycling program for the wheat that was grown. But Link didn't take into account that the wheat must have fallen to the ground during harvesting.

If that wheat is really good enough, Banker will definitely ask for an expansion of the acreage on his farm. Until the possibility of seeds being left behind, the shape of the seeds was too stable, and if planted on a large scale in the UK, it was easy for untreated seeds to flow out. Even if he doesn't agree, the seeds that fall to the ground may germinate, and the seeds may eventually flow out.

Now that the trial has failed, he doesn't have to worry about it.

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"Yes, that's good!" Link didn't want her to know about his troubles. "It should be successful next year. ”

"It's going to work. By the way, are you going to work this afternoon?"

"Go. Neil and Claire called me the day before yesterday and said they had something to talk to me about. ”

Now Benehans has hired a general manager who is based in California.

The company's trivial matters are basically handled directly there, and only those who stipulate that they must pass through will report to them. But there is no shortage of things that need to be dealt with by them personally. Many documents require the signature of one of the two of them to be valid. Fortunately, they can solve this problem by going paperless and signing online.

After lunch at home, Link went to Fox. He didn't even go to his office, he went upstairs to the office of the president of the bank.

When Claire saw him, she stood up and said, "You're finally back!"

Link sat down with a smile and said, "What, you're in a hurry?"

"It's not in a hurry. Claire sat down as well, and ordered the secretary outside to bring in two cups of coffee. Then said to Link. "I have compiled a five-year outline for the bank. There is also a work plan for this year and next. ”

As he spoke, he turned his chair around and opened the safe behind him, pulling out a file bag.

He turned back and handed the file bag to Link, saying, "The compendium has a lot of content. And there's a lot of financial expertise involved. I don't mean anything else. I mean, if you don't fully understand it, you can find a team of professionals to help you understand it. Our time can no longer be wasted. ”

Link didn't misunderstand him either: "I'll watch it as soon as possible." ”

His knowledge of finance is indeed rather superficial. He is indeed learning such a professional thing. But that's not something that can be learned in a short period of time. Besides, even if he had learned, it was only on paper. Some of the actual operations will have large errors. If you follow the instructions of the books completely, it is easy to lose money in the financial industry.

For example, the Black-Scholes formula, which was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1997 by the two economists who summed it up. The following year, one of the laureates' long-term money management company in the United States, which specializes in fixed-rate debt as a financial instrument, went bankrupt because of this formula.

It can be seen that the theories in books are only the basic theories of the financial industry. In practice, it is certainly not possible to copy everything from the book.

He wasn't going to look at it now, either. The documents in this file bag may be hundreds of sheets of A4 paper thick, and even if he can read them, he can't finish them for a while: "Can you briefly tell us what you think in these plans?"

"I think we have to have a bank presence all over the United States in our long-term planning. If we grow fast enough, we should even expand into Canada. ”

Link agrees. He set up the bank to provide financial support for his other plans. And his plan is not limited to Huazhou: "Go on. ”

"I think the expansion of our bank branches should be in line with the expansion of your agricultural empire. ”

Link interrupted him and said with a smile, "Wait. My agricultural empire -- am I that obvious?"

"Link, no one is blind. Claire said seriously. "At least not me and Neil. Of course, I think there are many others who are not. ”

Linknu pouted and said, "I'm too self-righteous to say!" and he thought he was doing something very hidden.
