Martha opened the drawer, took out a document and handed it to him, saying: "The experts suggested that we should combine the two competitions into one, so that it would be easier to publicize and have a greater impact. I suggest that the names of the competitions be collectively called the National Art Competition for Children and Youth. What do you think?"

Link blinked and said, "Two more words in front!"

"It's called the Hannah National Art Competition for Children and Teenagers. Martha said with a smile. "Are you happy with the name?"

Link smiled and said, "Very good!" he said, putting away his smile. "How's it going?"

"Twenty-eight states have already agreed to cooperate with our organization of the competition. Martha groaned and said. "But we have to pay five dollars for each participant. At the same time, the organization of each state also requires a budget of 200,000 dollars. ”

"That's not a problem. ”

Link had been mentally prepared for this. And spending money on competitions is also his original intention. Even if it costs one or two hundred million a year, it's worth it. Five dollars a year makes it possible for a "flower of the future" to remember him, and it's a good business.

"The expert group has suggested that we do a promotional advertisement now. ”

"Advertising?for the game?"

"Yes. Make a pitch for the competition. Catherine suggested that you personally star in this commercial. She believes that this is the only way to get the most out of your image in this competition. What do you mean?"

Link pondered for a moment and said, "I can act." I'll look for a director in Hollywood. "He's thinking about whether to ask Martin to shoot or Jonathan. They have all made movies, and it is trivial to shoot a small advertisement. "Is the ad planned?"

"Not yet, this idea was only proposed the day before yesterday. We don't know what you think yet. "Whether Link wants to star or not will determine the content of the ad.

Link thought for a moment and said, "I'll plan for someone to do it." ”

Martha didn't feel distrusted when she heard this, on the contrary, she was glad that Link really valued the game. And her efforts for this competition were not in vain. She smiled: "One more thing. Mayor Camp called me again yesterday to discuss the appropriate start for the theme park. He's called me three times to talk about it."

Link laughed and said, "It will start soon." I'll discuss this with him when I get back. "Now that he has Jonathan's script, he can start building according to the story scenario in it. "How long will it take for the Fox New Town project to be completed?"

"I haven't been paying attention to the project lately, but it's been going well. It's just that all the infrastructure has to be built from scratch, and the construction takes a long time. According to the plan, we should be able to deliver by the end of October. ”

The new city was completed at the end of October, which was the initial plan. That's because Link is willing to spend money, and there are few major buildings in Fox's New Town, except for a larger hotel and a more modern hospital. If it weren't for the infrastructure drag, the occupants might have moved into their new homes.

"If you encounter any problems with this project, let me know as soon as possible," he said. This project cannot be delayed. "Many of the houses in the new city were bought by his workers in advance, and he as a boss can't afford to lose credibility in front of them.

"I will urge the construction party to complete the project according to the construction schedule. One more thing, according to the schedule, your yacht should be completed next week for sea trials. Do you have any plans to pick it up in person? If not, I have the service team drive the boat back. ”

"Let them drive back!" Link said, remembering the yacht he had been off for more than a year. "If there is no problem with the sea trial, you can transfer the final payment. I'll sign it for you first, and you don't have to run over. ”

Link saw that she was okay here, so he left first. After that, he met with Carrick again, and then returned to Huazhou.

It's another rainy day at Mora Manor today.

He braved the rain to return home and found Hannah already at home. He picked up his daughter and asked, "Doesn't Hannah want to go to Alyssa today?"

"Alyssa is home!" Hannah said, hugging him by the neck. "It's going to be many days back. ”

Jessica came over with her stomach up, hugged and kissed him, and said with a smile: "Alyssa agreed to be the camp director of the painting summer camp, and she wants to go back to Italy to visit some friends." See if they are interested in serving as judges and acting as instructors for summer camps. ”

So that's it!

Link put Hannah down, took her in one hand, and led Jessica to the living room with the other, and said, "This game, we're going to change the name." It was renamed the Art Competition, but it was still divided into a drawing competition and a music competition. ”

"Daddy, can you plant flowers with me?"

"Planting flowers?" Link didn't understand.

"What kind of flowers?"

Jessica said, "I just called Hannah's teacher. Today, she gave the children homework and asked them to choose a flower to grow by themselves, take care of the flowers during the holidays, and tell the story of planting flowers at the beginning of the school year. ”

It turned out to be summer vacation homework. Link sat Jessica down, then picked Hannah up and sat down on his lap and said, "What flowers does Hannah want to plant?" ”

I don't want Hannah to shake her head and say, "I don't know, the teacher gave the seeds." One pack, many of them!" she thought for a moment before she said. "I don't plant it in the yard. The yard is green to look good. ”

Jessica smiled and said, "Just now I accompanied her to turn over the soil in the yard. She only dug a small pit and said that the ground was bad, and it didn't look good. ”

Maybe it's because the little guy learned to draw and is more sensitive to color.

"It just rained?"

"It started in the morning, but it stopped in the afternoon, and it was almost five o'clock before it went down again. ”

Link frowned and said, "It seems to have rained a lot in June this year. ”

"Really?" Jessica didn't pay attention. "Maybe it's an unusual year. Doesn't it mean that El Niño is affecting the United States?"

According to experts, the drought in the United States in the past two years was caused by abnormal weather. And this drought is likely to continue. Luckily, his farms have plenty of water.

However, El Niño can also increase temperatures in the western United States, and although the sea area near Ozete is not a big problem, it is a forest area, and it is possible to increase the temperature and precipitation. However, the vegetation of Ozette is abundant, so it should not be affected too much.

In fact, he was thinking about the impact of climate on Ozette's agriculture. For example, high-yielding pastures have come out, but those grasses are not suitable for growing in a rainy environment like Ozette.

Or rather, he was thinking about the operation of Ozette and several other farms.

The viticulture of the three farms is definitely to be preserved.

Hanse Farm is relatively small and has been largely finalized. Hanova Farm is limited by conditions and can only raise cattle. He didn't have to think too much about these two farms. Hans Hans Farm is basically not to think about. Hanova has also transformed Bob Tiffin into a cattle breeding farm. He focused on four other large farms.

Ozette Farms: He thought about no longer raising cattle. This is where he lives, and raising too many cattle will affect the environment. But if you don't raise cattle, this meadow is too wasteful. So he finally decided to just reduce the number of cattle.

Today, the number of cattle in Ozette has increased to 60,000. He plans to keep only about 20,000 head in the future, and limit the herd to a certain area for grazing. The rest of the cattle can be transported to Hanova Farm for breeding cattle or sent to Fairy Peak and Baker Farm for breeding.

After clearing most of the herd, Ozette Farm allows more pasture for the wild deer. He may be able to reap the same benefits from these deer as he would from raising cattle, without causing too much damage to the pasture and the environment.

And the business model of Fairville Peak Farm and Baker Farm was previously determined by him. He didn't want to change much, except that the Oregon Farm, which he bought in the end, was the largest and most usable land in his hands. More than 100,000 acres of farmland have been planned, and nearly 400,000 acres of pasture remain. Those pastures were previously considered to be used as breeding grounds for young alpacas.

It's just a bit exaggerated to think about it now. Because he doesn't know when he will have enough alpacas to fill the pastures there. Moreover, he does not raise alpacas for slaughter and meat, as long as they are raised on three large farms, whether they are breeding farms or not, the number of baby alpacas will only increase. And if he wants to promote the alpaca project, he needs a large number of alpaca cubs for sale. So maybe he simply won't be able to get enough alpacas in Oregon at all.

More than 300,000 acres of pasture are used to raise baby alpacas, which is a complete waste.

And now he has a Lin retail with such a sales network. Coupled with the fact that Benehans had developed high-yielding forage, he could raise more cattle and sell them directly. Selling hundreds of thousands of cattle a year shouldn't be stressful.

So, he plans to set aside 200,000 acres of land on a farm in Southern Oregon to raise cattle. If it is well planned, there is high-yield pasture, and it is absolutely no problem to raise 100,000 head of cattle. Even more in quantity.

However, he also planned to let Jessica worry about these things.

Jessica saw that he didn't speak, so she smiled and said, "Hannah said that she wanted to find a piece of land outside to plant flowers." But it's raining today, so I have to wait for the rain to stop. ”

Hannah still misses her flowers, and listens to Jessica mention it. She hurriedly shook Link's arm and asked, "The rain has stopped, Daddy and Kaka are planting flowers together." Is that okay? Is that okay? Daddy. ”

Link thinks tomorrow is the weekend, and there should be sunny days in the next two days. So he nodded and said, "Of course." When the rain stops, we go to plant flowers. ”

The rain stopped that night, and the sun came out early the next morning. Although the soil was still wet, the water droplets on the grass had evaporated.

Hannah woke up without breakfast, so she ran outside, saw the sun, and shouted that she was going to plant flowers today.

After breakfast, Link put on Hannah's suspender jeans, two small shovels and a few plastic bags and went out.

Since it had only rained yesterday, Link was worried about the slippery land, so he suggested that she just bask in the sun at home. And there is no place to sit in the wilderness. She is a pregnant woman who is prone to leg cramps after standing for a long time.

They were just going to find a place on the estate a little further from the castle and didn't drive.

Link wanted to find a place on a slightly higher ground so that the rain wouldn't soak the flowers to death. But Hannah had to find a big tree: "A big tree can provide shade for flowers!"

That's really a good reason.
