…………

Martha rented a modest office in an office building in Las Vegas. There is only a small meeting room, a separate office, and a communal office with a total area of no more than eighty square meters.

This is where her entire team will be based in the future.

She rented the place, of course, after asking Link.

Link doesn't think it matters where the team is in the future. The important thing is to be able to deal with what he needs them to do in a timely manner. So he agreed to Martha's suggestion.

This place, he needs to pay thousands of dollars in rent every month. But after looking at it today, he was still satisfied.

They sat in a conference room, a small conference table that had just been set up to seat a dozen people. But now there are only three people on his and Martha's team.

He smiled and said to Martha, "Maybe you want to complete your team as soon as possible." ”

"I've found two candidates and I'm trying my best to convince them to join. Martha smiled and said, "But I think I should hire a secretary first." Of course, she also takes on the role of receptionist, receptionist and conference services. ”

Link nodded and said, "There really is a need for a position like that here." ”

"OK, I'll hire one when I get back. ”

Link smiled, kind of agreed. He tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Now I have a project underway." ”

He said of his wind power project: "I have basically negotiated the wind farm construction plan of Hans Farm in Huaxin Company. However, the contract has not yet been signed. Deere, you go negotiate this contract. amount or something, you don't have to do more entanglement. You know about wind power projects at the time, and you need to negotiate the contracts for the next three projects. If you can reduce the cost per kilowatt of installed capacity by ten dollars, it means that I end up saving millions or even tens of millions of dollars. ”

"It's a new challenge," Deere laughs. Still, I'll make you happy! ”

Link nodded to him and said to Miller, "Miller, I'll leave the budget for these projects to you." Will this conflict with the charity project?"

Miller smiled and said, "Of course not. Boss, if you have any more work for me. I'm worried that I'm going to lose my job. ”

"Good. I'll send you the information about those wind power plans. Martha, these projects, you have to help me check them. ”

"No problem!" Martha said confidently. "We won't let you down. ”

"I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do. Huaxin Company will send a technical team to conduct field surveys in the three places where I plan to build wind farms in the short term. You are responsible for sitting down and cooperating. Questions?"

"Nope. ”

Link handed over the wind power project to Martha's team in a couple of sentences.

He concluded: "Wind manufacturers that have market share in the U.S. must already know that I have plans for this project. They may find you. If they are willing to pay for us and the price is more than 5% lower than Huaxin, I can consider cooperating with them. Otherwise, you don't have to waste time talking to them. ”

"Understood!" Hearing him say this, the Martha trio thought in their hearts that he and Nahuaxin Company had reached a certain degree of consensus.

"Also. Link thought for a moment, wondering if handing over this task to them now would affect their work. But he said after thinking about it. "Also, as you know, I have three farms that make a lot of wine. In the second half of the year, some wines will be on sale. ”

Martha thought he wanted to get their team to develop a marketing plan: "Link, we don't have marketing people yet. But I'll find the right team member as soon as possible. ”

Link nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Your team must be a member of a marketing professional." But even if you find him, it may not be able to meet my requirements. Because I make 70 million bottles of wine, and I plan to sell at least two-thirds of them. ”

Miller frowned and said, "Honestly, boss. That's not easy. ”

"So I wanted to help me with a team that specializes in marketing. Someone introduced me to a team. You help me talk. Diel, this time you may need to really use your persuasive skills. ”

"That's my favorite thing to do. ”

"Martha. You need to find a great marketing professional as soon as possible. We need him to be involved and judge this marketing plan. ”

"OK, I'll hurry!"

Link looked at the time, it was only ten minutes past, and he smiled and said, "So what do you guys have to say?" ”

"Yes, Link! Martha took out a report and said. "I have declared this project to the City of North Las Vegas in the name of the Hans Foundation. The city government is certainly supportive. They agreed to sell us a two-and-a-half-acre plot of land belonging to the municipality at a low price. The location is near the airport and the price is $200,000. ”

"Well done!" Link didn't expect her to be so fast.

Martha laughed and said, "Deere is a great credit for convincing them." She handed the report to Link and said. "Miller got a construction company and built it to your terms, and the cost of a thousand low-rent apartments was a little less than you expected. I think it's better for Miller to introduce these to you personally. ”

Miller lifted his glasses and said, "Boss." At your request, I approached the construction company. They suggested that we build buildings with an area of no more than 1,300 square meters, and that each building could have 20 apartments on each floor, each of which was about 50 square meters, except for the common land except for fire escapes, elevators and corridors. Each fourteen-storey building adds up to 1,120 apartments. If it is just a simple decoration, the total cost will not exceed 20 million. ”

Link listened, muttered and said, "Then there are about 4,000 square meters of open space in the middle of the community. ”

"Yes. ”

"What is the layout of the apartment?"

"A bathroom, a kitchenette, a small dining room, and two small rooms. Also, there is a small balcony facing outward. Miller said. "If you want to be more economical, you can use the public bathroom and eliminate the kitchen and small balcony. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "Just follow the layout you just said." Although we are prepared to provide food, they may find some income to cook their own meals once in a while to maintain their yearning for a normal life. And a small apartment with a small balcony can make the people who live in it more active. If you have a budget of 30 million, make some simple furniture for those rooms, such as a dining table, bed and small wardrobe, and buy a TV. Of course, we don't have a paid channel for them. ”

He felt that since he was going to do it, he should do it well. And he felt that the help he provided should be all aimed at motivating those people to find jobs.

He paused, and then said, "Since there are more than a thousand rooms, out of the worker's room." A few Internet cafes have been set up to provide free Internet access for those who live there. Give them access to vocational training and job postings on the web. ”

“OK。 Miller thought for a moment and said. "I'll recalculate the cost. ”

Link said to Martha, "You need to have the rules and regulations in place before you put this low-rent community into use." An agreement is required for each family to move in in the future. If their youngest child is over 12 years old, they must move out of the community unless there are special circumstances. At the same time, they are also required to adhere to the corresponding schedule. Be clear about their obligations to the community and what we will do to help them. ”

He made such a request because he was worried that he would be a bit of a cheater in the future.

Some people, once they get used to the help of others, will want to rely on others for everything.

He can provide them with some help, but it is impossible to keep them all the time. He made that rule so that the occupants knew that they had to rely on themselves if they wanted to live a good life.

Martha is also worried: "With such a low-rent community continuing to operate, Link will not invest less money in this project every year." She calculated that the average family would spend $150 to $200 a month on food alone. Add to that the utility bills – Las Vegas is sometimes very hot, and electricity bills are a big expense.

Link knew this, of course, but he would have to pay taxes every year after that. So he will definitely have to put a sum of money into the fund every year in the future. When the total amount of the fund is large enough, he plans to entrust Stoll with investment. The amount of the fund will only grow in the future. Maintaining a low-rent community will not be difficult for him.

If the fund is expanded, he can even build the same neighborhood in other cities. In a community like his, the limited conditions are usually people who have returned to normal life - most of the people who have given birth to children are people with life plans. He has helped such people, and when they return to normal life, they will be grateful to him to some extent.

On the contrary, if it is some homeless person, let alone whether those people will be grateful to him, even if he is grateful, he does not need it very much.

Miller always knew what he meant. At this time, he said, "I think we should also limit the number of people who can stay in the house." For example, there is a limit of four adults in a family, and minors living with them must be their children or wards. Each adult is provided with one dollar of food per day, and minors who are not children are provided with seventy-five cents of food per day, and each child is provided with a moderate amount of food according to their age. We should stipulate that if someone in the family has a stable job, they must move out or continue to rent it at a rent of $100 a month, but the community only provides food for children in such families. In addition, I recommend that all households re-qualify every year after completing their deposits. Avoid some slackers, or a little money to take it to drink and gamble to continue to live. Such people do not deserve to continue to help. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "But I built a community like that to help those kids." ”

"Boss. In that kind of family, no matter how much you give, you can't really help those children. That will only allow those people to take advantage of the child to mix and mix. Miller was a little cold-blooded. "On the other hand, if they are evicted, the children may end up in welfare institutions. That would be better for those kids. ”

Link pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Just do as you say." ”

Miller says this may not be the case. And the annual qualification review can also give residents a sense of urgency. Maybe it's a good thing for those people too.

He turned to Martha and said, "Then you might be able to put some protocols in place like the other containment sites." ”

Martha nodded and said, "We'll take care of it." ”

That neighborhood was only now starting to plan, and they had plenty of time to work out the rules and regulations that Link demanded.
