Chapter 582: Recognition from the World

Link's problems are not just about the seed farm, but also about the agricultural extension project he has promised.

Agricultural extension projects need to be carried out under the joint name of Beni Hans and the Hans Foundation.

Because he wants to spend the more than 700 million dollars on himself.

The establishment of an agricultural technology research and extension institute in Africa is the first time that the Hans Foundation has involved an agricultural project, which is not directly related to charity, but the implementation of the project in Africa can probably be related to poverty alleviation.

Link is in talks with the Tanzanian government to expand the project to the whole of Africa.

His idea is to explore agricultural technologies suitable for Africa, with the Benihans Africa Institute as the core. In this process, the money from the Hans Foundation's special account can be used to fund the institute's research, strengthening the company's technical capabilities while "doing charity".

Of course, the funds needed by the promotion agencies are also borne by the Hans Foundation. Ostensibly to help African farmers improve their agricultural skills, but in essence, it was also to sell Benehans's seeds.

It was a plan that would make him both fame and fortune.

Of course, this plan did not harm anyone's interests. It can be said that all parties can benefit.

The only thing that will suffer may be the Tanzanian government. Because Link proposed that the output of the demonstration base be tax-exempt.

This is also what Link wants to talk to the Tanzanian government.

Link wants to build a demonstration base, and the Tanzanian government is certainly happy to see it. I am also willing to give certain concessions.

But the Tanzanian government was reluctant to ask for it.

Link plans to set aside 30,000 acres of land as a demonstration base.

The tax revenue from that part of the output is a lot of money for Tanzania. They hope to shrink the base to less than 1,000 acres, preferably to less than 1,000 acres.

But Link, when negotiating with their commerce secretary, said, "Mr. Minister. If I didn't want to build a demonstration base, I would use mechanized production on those lands. ”

As soon as the Secretary of Commerce heard what he meant, he immediately understood what he meant. In the case of demonstration bases, the purpose is to promote technologies suitable for local African water products. With the current situation in most countries in Africa, of course, it is not possible to try large machinery. That is, the demonstration base needs a lot of workers. 30,000 acres of land may cost thousands of farmers. That could lead to a stable income for thousands of families.

Considering this issue. After consulting with relevant officials, the Secretary of Commerce agreed to include 30,000 acres in the demonstration base, and the output will be tax-free.

However, Tanzania also made a request for this demonstration base: "We hope to participate in the work of this demonstration base." ”

Link certainly wouldn't object. Otherwise, with Benihans Africa's own ability, it will be very difficult to complete this work efficiently. The other party may also want to monitor the output of the demonstration base, and worry that he will also calculate the output of other farmland into this base.

But he didn't.

After back and forth, and back-and-forth negotiations with Chinese construction companies about the land, he has been in Africa for more than three weeks.

Things are going well here, but he plans to pack up the rest of the stuff and go back to the United States.

But that night, he received a call from Jessica: "Honey, how are things going in Africa?"

"It's a bit tedious, but it's pretty smooth. ”

"Well, today I received an invitation letter at home. ”

"About what?"

"It's about an invitation to the Chinese Summer Davos Forum. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting of the New Champions this year. I also received a confirmation call from the organizers today. They mentioned that they would like to want to recruit you as a member. ”

"Recruit me as a member. Shouldn't it be you?" Link said with a laugh. "You're the president of your Hans Group. ”

If he has anything to keep the WEF on the radar right now, it's the Benehans Group.

The forum has a thousand members, but the entities are all businesses. Their requirements for members are to be the best in the industry in each country, and they also have an important position and role in the future development of the industry.

The Benehans Group now has sales of $5 billion, making it a leader in the agricultural seed industry in the United States. Moreover, Benihans already has a faint tendency to overturn genetically modified food, which may have an important position and role in the future of agriculture.

As for his other industries, it seems that they are not up to that level.

Jessica said, "But they didn't invite the Benehans Group, they invited you personally. ”

"Personally? That's weird. It can't be a fake invitation!"

Although the World Economic Forum also invites individuals, it mainly invites people from the literary and artistic circles. Commercially, all of them are for businesses.

"I asked them that question as well. They replied that your overall career in agriculture has given a new direction to world agriculture, and at the same time, their philanthropic approach has also been appreciated by them. So they want you to attend their annual meeting. ”

"So, I'm an exception?"

"Definitely, yes. I contacted the phone number published on the official website of the other party. I guess you can't be mistaken. ”

"The Beni Hans Group was not invited, and the Beni Hans Group is definitely one of the fastest growing companies in the agricultural sector. ”

"Maybe they think that if they invite you, it doesn't matter if the Benehans Group is there or not. Jessica has nothing to complain about the Benehans Group being ignored. Link was invited this time, and the results of the Benehans Group must have played a big role. "What about your decision? to participate or not to participate? I'll get back to them. ”

"When?"

"June 24 in Dalian, China. ”

"I'll go!"

The World Economic Forum is very different from other economic forums, and it can be said that the economic forum is an economic and political event that can truly guide the development of the world economy, and may even lead the world to the direction. Of course, he wanted to see it. If he has the chance, he can also make his voice heard on the world stage.

Jessica smiled and said, "Okay, I'll get back to them later." By the way, when will you be back. Hannah asks me this question every day. Caitlin would come into the room every day to see if you were there. ”

"I will go home as soon as possible. There's nothing going on at home. ”

"Nothing. However, Ozette spotted the wolves. Wolves howling can be heard at night lately! The child is not sleeping very well. Jessica said with concern in her voice. Hannah would be scared at night, and Caitlin didn't seem to want to sleep. ”

When Link heard this, he asked urgently: "Is it Ozete who has appeared wolf, has it been determined?"

"Hmm. Yesterday the cowboys found the remains of a red deer and found the footprints of a wolf nearby. But they weren't found. ”

"You have to be accompanied by bodyguards when you go in and out. In addition, let people search the farm, find wolves, and kill them immediately. If they don't have experience, find someone from outside. ”

Jessica said, "No, we can't kill them." Wolves are protected animals in Washington. If we kill the wolf, there will be trouble. ”

Americans' sense of wolves varies from place to place. Some states tolerate the presence of wolves, while others oppose the presence of wolves. Of course, animal protection groups are keen to see wolves reappear in the American Rockies.

Ozette is Link's home. If a protected animal is killed at home, it is also a big trouble. A celebrity's small nuisance can turn into a big one. This is one of the main costs of becoming a celebrity.

He immediately added, "If that's the case, let the wolves be ensnared and sent far away." ”

Jessica said she was already looking for someone and added, "I'll take care of the kids." You don't have to worry. ”

After Link hung up, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He fenced off the entire land boundary of the farm, hoping that there would be no large carnivorous animals on the farm.

But the problem is that Ozette has a long coastline. He hadn't spread the fence to the beach before. The wind and waves in that area will destroy the fence directly. When the tide is low, there are tidal flats, and perhaps wolves enter the farm from the sea.

The wolf is a cunning and ferocious animal. There were animals like that roaming around his home, and even though he knew that his family would be well protected, he couldn't rest assured.

After hanging up the phone, he didn't have the heart to continue working, so he checked the information about the appearance of wolves in Huazhou on the Internet.

On the second day, he called Ojalala and put him in charge of the rest of the affairs on Tan's side. And he returned to the United States ahead of schedule.

Jessica took Hannah home from work, and when she saw him suddenly appear at home playing with the two children, she walked up to him and hugged him, saying, "I thought you might be back in a week." ”

"Surprise, huh?" Link kissed her on the mouth before letting go. "I'm done with things in Africa, so I'm back early. ”

As he spoke, he felt his trouser legs being pulled. He looked down and it was Hannah.

"Daddy, did you finish kissing Click?"

Jessica heard her say this and giggled and let go of Link.

Link squatted down and pecked his daughter's small mouth, saying, "After kissing, kiss the obedient Hannah too!"

Hannah giggled and kissed him twice on the cheek.

Link smiled and picked her up. He came back early because of the presence of wolves in the house, and he couldn't help but talk about the problem of wolves on the farm.

"Daddy, the wolf's howl is terrible!" Hannah said mysteriously as she heard them talk about wolves. Stephen said that wolves would take on the form of humans when the moon was full. ”

Link smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Hannah, a wolf is coming, and Daddy will protect you." ”

He said to Jessica, "What's the reaction from Fox's side to this?"

Jessica said a little helplessly, "They don't seem to care very much. Some even believe that wolves have appeared, making the city of werewolves even more worthy of its name. However, the new mayor also issued a warning to the citizens to watch out for wolves when they are outside at night. ”
