Chapter 173 Marching into the Energy Industry

The next morning, Link didn't wake up until eight o'clock. It's not that he's lazy, it's that he was too tired last night. He didn't expect Jessica to rush over just to see with his own eyes that he was really intact.

There was no flight due to time constraints, so she drove herself from Willow Springs in Los Angeles to Renault. Although they were only separated for half a day, Jessica's enthusiasm burned him away. Anyway, they ran out of TTs that the hotel put in the room last night.

Now his waist is still sore, and if it weren't for today's important event, he would even want to continue to sleep with her in his arms.

But it looks like he's tired, and Jessica is even more tired. He carefully escaped from the woman's entanglement of hands and feet, tucked the quilt, and began to dress.

Worried that opening the curtains would wake Jessica, who was still asleep, he just looked at a lamp and picked up the pen and note provided by the hotel to write a message. Then attach the note to the mirror in the room.

Jessica woke up in a daze and touched her side, but she didn't feel it before she opened her eyes. She remembered that Link was going to the state hall today.

She didn't get dressed right away, so she went into the bathroom naked. She saw small pieces of dredging on her body in the glass mirror, as if she had just been abused. The mirror reflected the sweetness and shyness on her face.

She took a shower and came out in a bathrobe, only to find the note that Link had left behind. After she saw it, she pouted slightly, put the note on the dresser, and made a call in the guest room for room service before changing her clothes.

When the waiter arrived, she learned that Cole and another bodyguard had been guarding the door of the suite.

She was worried and asked Cole, "You guys are here, isn't there no one around Link?"

Cole said, "Miss Benis, rest assured. Last night we had three of us. Now there are three more people around the boss. ”

Jessica was relieved when he said that. She thought for a moment, and then said, "You don't have to stand outside, come in." ”

She said as she let the two of them in. As she ate, she asked Cole, "What happened yesterday?"

Cole laughs and says, "It was just a car accident." The owner is safe!"

When Jessica heard what he said, she knew that Link must have confessed that she wouldn't know about last night.

Since his man wanted her to be a stupid woman in this matter, she didn't ask anymore. As she ate her breakfast, she asked, "Mark is injured, is he seriously injured?"

"It's just scratched. I can be discharged this afternoon!"

"Thank God, he's fine! When will Link come back?"

Cole glanced at the wall clock on the wall and said, "Twenty minutes at most, the boss will be back." ”

Hearing this, Jessica's eating speed unconsciously sped up a lot.

Link was back in less than twenty minutes. He entered the door and saw Jessica just finishing breakfast. She had just put down the dishes when he came in.

Cole and the others said goodbye, leaving room for the two of them.

Link went over and pulled Jessica up from the table and kissed her, saying, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Jessica blushed slightly and said, "That's too good!" she asked, letting Link lead her to the couch and sit down. "That piece of land was taken?"

"Hmm. I paid more than $30 million more than GE. Link reached out and took her in his arms, sniffing her hair. "They won't pay a high price!"

Jessica couldn't figure it out: "It's strange to me that the land can really only be used for wind farms, and there will be other people competing." ”

"Maybe it's to save face for GE and not come to compete!" Link didn't know what was going on. He laughs. "As for those who want to buy and run a farm, they won't consider it when they hear that there is nuclear contamination there. ”

Jessica reached out and pulled his face and said, "Then you're going to have to be busy again." ”

Link bought a piece of land, and if he wants to run it well, he will definitely have to be busy for a while.

Link smiled and said, "If you stay, I promise to be by your side every day." He paused. "That land, there's still a lot of work to be done before it can really be developed. ”

Jessica hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "Well, I was just about to tell you that I'll be back in California in the afternoon." The matter over there hasn't been taken care of yet. ”

She explains, "There is a vineyard in Southern California that would like to be a demonstration site for us. So I'm going to keep track of it for a few days. ”

"Why don't you hire a few new employees? That way you don't have to do everything yourself. ”

"I have a plan like that. However, in a short period of time, new employees will not be able to go out to work, and they will definitely need to be trained for a while. I promise, in another month or two I'll have more time with you!"

Link didn't want her to leave him, but the two women he had been tempted with before told him a fact. He can't completely tie a woman with her own life plan to him.

He was silent for a while and said, "Then I'll arrange for two people to be by your side." ”

Jessica's eyes widened, "No! that would be inconvenient." ”

Link insisted: "That's necessary. Jesse, I don't want anything to happen to you. I didn't even know who was targeting me this time. I'm afraid you'll be a target for them against me. I can't live without you, so you can't have an accident. Promise me that then I will feel comfortable letting you leave my side. ”

Jessica leaned on his chest and said, "Okay. Who are you going to let follow me?"

"I'm going to have Cole and Tim follow you. ”

"Cole, do I know, Tim, have I seen it?"

"Just with Cole. Link said with a smile. "If you don't like male bodyguards, you'll be on for a while. I'll find a few more female bodyguards to follow you in a few days. ”

"Don't bother, just them!" Jessica, though she didn't really like the feeling of being followed, didn't refuse. But she has concerns. "But you're going out a lot, and Hannah is at home!"

"Cole, they're with you, and I have six bodyguards. Besides, Benjamin was originally a bodyguard, so there is no need to worry about the safety of Hans's farm. He paused and whispered. "Mike is still helping me find the right people, and I will only have more bodyguards in the future. ”

Mike wasn't just helping him find bodyguards, he was also looking for someone with intelligence expertise. At the same time, he is also building his own intelligence network.

Mike mentioned it to him. If he used his own people to collect intelligence directly, his expenditure on this would be very high. So Mike proposes to find only a few capable people as core personnel, and then use those people to develop a network of informants and contact some private detectives to serve them.

And those people only secretly contacted Link and Mike, so as to avoid anyone else knowing about their employment relationship as much as possible. Link was pleased with Mike's plan.

Jessica is leaving in the afternoon, and Link wants to take her around Renault, but Jessica is reluctant. She said she was tired today and wanted to stay in the hotel. Link knew that she was worried that he would be in danger again.

After lunch, Jessica took a nap to catch up on her sleep, and at three o'clock in the afternoon she drove back to California under the protection of Cole and the others, while Link was ready to go to Hans Farm.

On the return journey, he had a safe journey. As McCully left, Link said to him, "I'll sign the tax return in three days." ”

McCully understands that this is a reminder to plan his time to file his taxes. He nodded and said, "I'll arrange the time." ”

Link's personal taxes have to be reported in three states, and that's a lot of work. He does need to set aside a few days to do this.

Link watched him go, and before he could enter the villa, he picked up the phone and made a call to Matthew, saying, "Matthew, you can register the power company now." ”

“OK。 So what's the name of the company?"

Link didn't bother to look at the computer to see what names could be used. He thought for a moment and said, "Use the Lin family." "There shouldn't be many companies in the U.S. that use Chinese surnames.

Link said it would take a lot of work to develop that land, and he didn't lie to Jessica. He does have a lot of work to do. He played with Hannah for a while and then went to the study. He was looking for a supplier of wind turbines.

It stands to reason that the most convenient is, of course, GE. It was the largest wind turbine producer in the United States and the second largest in the former world. And it can avoid the troubles caused by cross-border transactions.

But he had just competed with GE, and he suspected that the accident at Renault had something to do with GE. In this case, of course, he will not think about it. It can even be said that he has directly excluded the other party.

Although there are other wind turbine manufacturers in the United States. But to be honest, the United States does not pay attention to wind power as much as it does to railways, and of course the investment in research is much less. Maybe it's good in terms of sales. But technologically, the United States does not have an advantage.

The earliest development of wind power is Europe, Denmark, Germany, France and Spain are quite good in wind power technology, China has long been behind to become the world's highest investment in technology research and development, the largest sales of wind turbine producers, but also the largest sales market.

So, of course, he will give priority to Chinese wind power producers.

He found information that Huaxin Energy is the world's largest producer of wind turbines. That's thanks to the Chinese market, but the company is already looking to open up markets in Europe and the United States.

At least, he found this company on the Internet that has branches or offices on the east and west coasts of the United States. That means that they have opened up the market in the United States, and in terms of international contracts, they should be able to deal with the resistance that the United States may encounter.

Huaxin's office in the western United States is located in San Francisco. He wrote down the phone first. Then I checked the wind power producers of some European countries, such as Denmark's Vestas, Germany's Enacan and Siemens, France's Alstom, and so on.

He compared the basic parameters of the main models of wind turbines of various companies. He found that China's production did not seem to be worse than that of other countries. However, he can't immediately determine which type of wind turbine to use.

Today's large-scale wind turbines range from 500 kilowatts to 8,000 kilowatts.

However, most of the more than 3,000 kilowatts are used in inland or coastal areas where wind resources are abundant. In particular, units with a high installed capacity of more than 5,000 kilowatts are usually used offshore.

He also learned that a power plant does not mean that the more the capacity of the machine is assembled, the better. The most important thing to do is to keep the wind turbine running efficiently for the longest time possible.

A wind turbine with the right installed capacity is crucial for a wind farm. So he needed to choose a team to design the most suitable solution.

There are quite a few teams like that. But the more specialized ones belong to the technical service companies, which usually have manufacturers that they work with.

So looking for them is not much different from going directly to the manufacturer.

After thinking about it for a long time, Link finally decided to send an invitation to Huaxin Company.

Ask them to conduct research for several of his farms, to analyze how many wind turbines are suitable for the farm, what installed capacity is most suitable for them, and where is the most suitable location.

Huaxin's San Francisco office quickly agreed to his invitation after receiving the invitation letter from him.

Of course, Link would have to pay some money for this: if he didn't end up choosing Huaxin's wind turbines, he would have to pay Huaxin five dollars per kilowatt after installing the generator sets — whether he used Huaxin's solution or not. If he doesn't invest in the end, he will also need to pay $500,000 for Huaxin.

Of course, if he used Huaxin's power generation equipment, he didn't need to pay that money.

Link has no problem with this condition. He believes that a company that can develop an 8,000-kilowatt wind turbine will not be worse than its peers in terms of technology, and as long as the project plan is reasonable in all aspects, he will certainly not have any problems using Huaxin's equipment.
