Link watched as the workers busied themselves fixing the hood with huge nuts, and didn't bother to look any further. He said to Benjamin: "The installation of the wind turbines is still on track?"

"Sixteen units of 1,500 kilowatts and 24 500 kavas have been installed. The progress of the Chinese company is fast. They used their own transporters, which transported blades more efficiently than in the United States. ”

In fact, when he saw huge trucks, behind the rear of the trucks like a huge cannon was installed to transport blades tens of meters long. And he has also seen the way the United States transports blades. It's a heavy truck pulling the blades, which will have a great impact on the traffic along the way.

And the Chinese have a more efficient mode of transportation. Just like a self-propelled gun, as long as it is connected to a special device at the root of the blade, the elevation angle of the blade can be raised and lowered. When passing through a tunnel, you can slow down the speed and lower the height of the blades to pass through. In areas with rough terrain, you can change the angle of the blades and you can pass.

Moreover, it is difficult to directly transport the high-power machine on the farm if it is transported in the United States. So now wind turbines in the United States are mainly built on gentle terrain. But China's transport vehicles, as long as there are roads, there are no problems.

Link didn't plan to look at it, but just asked, "The Chinese engineering team has to install units every day?"

"Basically. Unless no new units arrive. However, it takes a long time to install a unit. ”

Link knew that wind turbines were troublesome to install, so he didn't think it was inappropriate: "Does the noise from wind turbines affect the cattle?"

"The noise problem does exist, it's the sound of the blades passing through the wind and the sound of the blades vibrating. It's not a big problem, though. ”

The two said as they walked to the car. Benjamin continued: "Listening to the engineers in China, the blades are made of sound-absorbing materials, and the noise is relatively low. ”

Link nodded and said, "Yes, in order to break into the US market, they have applied better technology to these wind turbines." If there are no problems, it is best though. ”

After they got into the car, Benjamin smiled and said, "The efficiency of the Chinese is indeed very high." They had two engineering teams to carry out the construction. The construction of substations and wind turbines are basically synchronized. That allows the wind turbine to be connected to the grid immediately after commissioning. ”

He said and started the car.

Link asked, "Do you have any questions about electricity sales?" If you can't handle it, you can hire a dedicated person to take care of it. ”

"I was about to talk to my boss about it. Whether it is a wind turbine or a hydropower unit, there is a control system. Now the system is being managed by Chinese engineers. But in the future, we will always have to take care of ourselves. I plan to train a few of the more educated engineers on the farm with Chinese engineers. However, Chinese engineers suggested that it would be better to go to China for a period of off-the-job training. But that would cost you. ”

"How much?"

"The Chinese company is willing to bear the training costs, but we have to bear the travel expenses of the workers. The cost depends on what kind of standard we give. The opinion of Chinese engineers is that it is better to receive more than three months of training. Then come back and practice it for three months under their guidance. ”

"Then you refer to the training treatment of ordinary workers in other companies and send people. ”

"Good. But I will definitely wait until after the New Year to let people go. ”

They drove to an office. This office was later converted and used exclusively for the management of the farm. There is a manager's office, and there is also a finance office.

Link said hello to the staff and then went to his office with Benjamin.

After he sat down, he said, "I came this time to talk to you about the year-end reward for farm employees. ”

"And the year-end reward?" Benjamin laughed as he listened.

"Of course there is, but not too much. "After all, several farms were not very profitable last year. Except, of course, for grapes. "Last year, the farm made a lot of money. Each of your managers can get a bonus of one year's annual salary. But the taxes are taken care of themselves. You make a classification of other workers according to their contributions. ”

Although the cultivation of grapes has little to do with the farm workers, they still do a lot of work in the daily management.

"Good. ”

"I'm going to hand out the bonus before the New Year's holiday. So you have to make it as soon as possible. You only need to make five grades. I'm good at calculating. He planned to give the lowest grade nearly four weeks' weekly salary, and increase the weekly salary for each higher grade.

He was not stingy, but the number of workers on the three farms combined was in the hundreds. If he rewards too much, it's not easy to do.

"I'll talk to the others. Send it to you as soon as possible. There is also a summary of the work of Hans Farm this year, which I will also send to you. ”

Link took a look at the recent situation on the farm, and finally said, "So be it! I'll go first." I wish you a Happy New Year. ”

"Thank you, boss, and I wish you a happy new year!"

Benjamin would be a little glad he hadn't gotten into gambling in Las Vegas for so long.

Otherwise, Link would not have chosen him as a bodyguard. If he were still working as a bodyguard at the security company, he could be out of work at any time.

Now his salary, although not very high, is no worse than that of an ordinary white-collar worker. With an annual salary of 120,000 yuan a year, and an additional year's annual salary bonus at the end of the year, such an income can already make him and his family live very comfortably. The most important thing is that he doesn't have to fight for his life for money.

Link leaves Hans's farm and goes to Hans's house for one night. The next day, he returned to Huazhou.

He returned to the castle and William greeted him at the door. He took off his coat and handed it to William, and asked, "What about Hannah and Jessica?"

"Miss and Miss Benis were packing in the room. ”

"I see, you're busy!" he said, walking to the elevator.

He and Jessica decided to go on vacation to Hawaii tomorrow. They must have been packing.

The trip to Hawaii went well, except that when he came back, Link got a tan. Hannah's face darkened a little, too. However, when Hannah came back, she had two more materials that she liked to draw, the sea and hula.

………………

After the New Year, Albert returned to Ozette to continue making his "ice wine", which was made from grapes stored in several freezers. He also did not intend to sell these wines directly, but planned to use them as flavor enhancers for those sparkling wines he made.

He didn't come alone. He also brought a woman with him. is an Italian female painter.

The female painter looks like she is almost forty years old, and she looks good.

I heard Albert say that she is a female painter who has become famous in Italy in the past two years, and she wants to come to live in Ozette for a while.

Link agreed. Eventually, the female painter saw the Artists' Village, which Link had planned but had never been able to build, and decided to stay there. Link saw that she was a friend of Albert's and didn't ask her for rent.

Hannah knew that there was an aunt who was very good at painting, so she often made a fuss about going to see the painting. As she came and went, Hannah would go there from time to time to follow the painting. The female painter also seems to like children, and after seeing her paintings, she will patiently teach her to draw when she has time. Link also saw that Hannah liked it, and took her there when he was free, and if she wanted to go when she was free, he asked the bodyguards to send her there.

Time passed day by day, and after the winter, he also worked for Ozette for a while.

The herd on the farm is not yet able to breed enough calves on its own, and a large number of calves must be bought every year to balance.

The management of the vineyards on the farm has not kept up, and he needs to recruit more workers this year. He went to Jessica's mother's winery to learn from his experience and develop a new daily management plan for the grape cultivation on his farm.

By mid-March, the production line of the noodle factory in cooperation with Song Xianhe was in place and ready to start production. Ozette Investment Bank also favored a management team through headhunting. By this time, the business of the investment bank will also be operational.

Link came to Hans Cheap Apartment in Las Vegas.

Today, a psychological test for residents will be conducted in the computer room of the low-rent apartment, and residents who are interested in participating in Link's self-employment plan must first participate in this test.

Due to the lack of computers in the computer lab, this test needs to be conducted in batches, but the randomly selected questions from the question bank give participants little chance of cheating. And there is no right or wrong answer to those questions.

By the time he arrived at the low-rent apartment, Dill had already scored nearly 200 test scores.

Seeing the rating on the computer, he asked, "What was the result?"

"There are only 38 people who are suitable to participate in your business plan. Dill looked at the computer and said.

"How is the rating of this system evaluated?"

"There is no absolute scoring criterion for this system. Each of the five parts has the same number of multiple-choice questions, and each person needs to complete a total of 125 questions. Each question is actually related to one of the other four sections. Such a series of questions, with different combinations of answers, can more clearly distinguish the actual psychology of the people participating in the test. ”

Link said, "I've seen the plan you gave. The five groups of questions are based on the candidate's emotional intelligence, will, mentality, personality and sense of responsibility. How do these five parts evaluate whether a person is appropriate? Will there be any omissions?" There are only thirty-eight people, which is too little.

"Of course, there is a possibility of omission. For example, the person being tested may have a change in mood. There is also not much time to do the questions, and there is only thirty seconds of time for each question to read and answer. This requires them to make choices based on their hearts. Such people may not be able to truly show their true state when answering questions. ”

As soon as Link heard him say this, he knew that there wouldn't be too many people missing, and said, "How many people will be involved in the test today?"

"There were more than 800 people who signed up. Many are a family with multiple participants. ”

Hearing that it was only a quarter of the way through, Link said, "When the test is done, the system will automatically give the result?"

"Yes. Based on the participant's answers, the system will directly analyze the score. Only those with a score of 75 or more will be rated as passable. That is, the right person to participate in your program. ”

It took two hours to complete the test of two hundred people, and the rest needed another six hours. Link has something to do in the afternoon, and certainly doesn't plan to wait here. Before leaving, he said to Deere, "Complete the test and you will give me the results." ”

“ok!”

Link didn't leave Las Vegas either, but went to his villa on Bakers Avenue. Tomorrow MGM has a board meeting. He also needs to spend a day in Las Vegas. And this afternoon, Neil and Fren are coming to "settle the bill" with him.

By late February, Gaddis and Stoll had begun to withdraw their funds, and one had not been completed until the previous day. Today they are going to come together to reconcile the accounts with him.
