Two little girls were around, and they seemed to be deliberately pestering Link to talk, and vaguely excluded Kate from their conversation.

"Link, you promised me to take us for a ride today!" Alice held the Coke cup and waited for her eyes, completely like a sister who complained about her brother's untrustworthy words.

Link nodded and said, "There is still time in the afternoon, and I will take you to Lake Mead in a while." ”

"Lily wants to go too. Alice glanced at Kate.

Kate also saw that Link's sister didn't seem to like her, and even had inexplicable hostility. But she's an adult, so there's no need to worry about it with underage girls. She only felt that the other party was mistaking herself for Link's girlfriend and felt that she had robbed her brother of her love. She knew that sometimes little girls were psychologically dependent on a particular adult, such as when she was Alice's age.

She finished the last bit of pizza and said to Link, "Link, thank you for the steak and the pizza." I think I'm going to have to go right away. ”

Link was stunned for a moment and said, "I think you should sit down a little longer before leaving." Just after eating and driving, it is easy to induce stomach sagging. ”

"It's okay, I'll be careful. Today is the weekend and I have an appointment. ”

When Link heard this, he immediately understood and said, "Then I wish you a smooth journey." He said as he put Kate in the car. When Kate's car drove away, he turned around and found two little girls muttering something around his car. He didn't pay attention to them, walked up to Benjamin and whispered, "Benjamin, I don't have so many rooms in my house for the time being, you can find a place to live by yourself." The cost of renting a house came back to me for reimbursement. ”

Benjamin and the others had heard Link talk about this before, and when Link said this, he was not surprised, he just nodded and said, "I will try to find your house." ”

Link nodded and said, "In addition, you also buy two cars, and I will give you a budget of 100,000 dollars." Is it enough?"In the United States, you can buy a car for a few thousand dollars. But that's a low-end car. But Benjamin is his bodyguard, and of course the car should be used well. At least you can't escape because you can't get up to speed when you're in danger.

When Benjamin heard that Link had given a budget of 100,000 yuan to buy a car, he nodded again and again and said, "It's very enough." ”

After explaining Benjamin, he took the two girls and drove to Lake Mead. There are almost no cars on this county road. And the police rarely appear on these sections, and there are no speedometers installed on the road, so they are not driving, but more like flying cars. On the highway, he even drove at a speed of one hundred and thirty miles.

Along the way, Lily, who was in the passenger seat, where Alice insisted she was, and Alice screamed all the way. Seems excited.

The car followed the road all the way to Eco Bay.

Eco Bay is a sightseeing farm, there is a small airport, there is also a large parking lot and some housing. There is also a small shop here. Every year at the Cowboy Poets Festival, many cowboys gather here. But now there are not many people.

Before the water level of Lake Mead did not drop so much, Eko Bay was actually a lake bay, and there used to be a marina here, but now the bay is very small because of the drop in water level, and the marina is abandoned. The yachts that were previously moored here were concentrated at the Las Vegas Cruise Terminal on East Lake. There are hundreds of small boats parked there. Fortunately, the farmer had a small boat of his own, so he rented a small boat and took the girls around the lake and came back.

Returning from the lake, Alice said unsatisfactorily, "I should have brought a bathing suit." The water is really clear. ”

Link happened to be returning from handing over the boat to the farmer, and when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but say, "You know, the water here is deep enough to submerge a layer of skyscraper." "This reservoir was formed by flooding a canyon.

"Lily and I are both very good swimmers. Alice said unconvinced, and looked at him. "And you think you'll get a chance to see Lily in a swimsuit?"

Link was a little speechless, who wanted to see a little girl in a swimsuit, but he still glanced at Lily. I have to say that this little girl has grown up, although because she is a little mixed-race - Lily's great-grandmother is Chinese, and she is very soft in appearance, looking younger than Alice. However, she is less than fifteen years old and has a height of about 1.6 meters, although she is not as good as those models, but she is very likely to exceed 1.7 meters when she becomes an adult. Especially this girl's bumpy head has been completely opened. No wonder Cox's kid confessed that he was rejected and kept babbling all day long.

Lily's face flushed a little because of his gaze, but she still stood there with a graceful attitude, almost posing a better pose for him to look at.

But Link only glanced at it twice and said, "We should go back." ”

He first sent Lily back to Carasende. On the way back to Overtown, Link asks Alice, who is sitting in the back seat, "You don't seem to like Kate very much!"

"Why should I like that old woman?" said Alice with a smile.

"Old woman?" Link said with a smirk. "Am I not an old man, then?"

"I look at her older than you!" Alice pouted. "Lily is so nice, young and beautiful. ”

Link didn't expect her to say that. However, he seemed to know something terrible when he heard her say: "You mean, Lily is interested in me as an old man?"

"Hmph, two years ago, you helped her get rid of those two drunkards, and she liked you. There were so many boys chasing her in the school, and she didn't fancy any of them. Said he didn't like those naïve boys. ”

Link was surprised to hear her say that. Two years ago, when he went to look for Bill and Harry, he did run into two drunkards who didn't know where they came from, covering Lily's mouth and dragging her into the car. In such a situation, not to mention that the victim is a good friend of his sister, even if he doesn't know someone, he will not stand idly by. It's just that he didn't expect it to become a heroic rescue drama that made people promise to save the United States. At that time, Lily was not yet thirteen. Two years was enough time for these little girls to leave their first man behind, and he really didn't expect Lily to think about it.

But the little girl's feelings can't be taken seriously, and if Lily is really so persistent, he really doesn't dare to provoke a little girl like her. He smiled and said, "You're still children." Just find a classmate to talk about a simple relationship. Advise her not to waste her mind on me. Even Cox is better suited to him than I am. ”

"Well, Lily will be fifteen in four months, she's the best fourteen girl I've ever seen, and I think she's grown up to be pampered by men. And Cox had long been rejected by Lily. I remember Cox being sad about it for three minutes. You should know. ”

Link rolled his eyes, deciding that he would share Barbara with Barbara to talk about this girl's education when he got home. lest there be a Juno in the house in the future.

Alice saw that Li Sheng didn't speak for a long time, and couldn't help but be dissatisfied with her good friend: "Why don't you speak?

"It's not that Lily is bad. It's not for me. ”

"What's not suitable? Do you care that Lily is eight years younger than you? Hmph, I know you men like women with hot bodies. But Lily is only fourteen years old and is already in good shape. I'll tell you, last month's school physical exam, Lily was about to grow to C. She's definitely going to be better than that Kate in the future. ”

Link was noncommittal about Lily's current figure and future figures, and he smiled and said, "Kate and I are only in a partnership now. "He does have some interest in Kate, it's just that the other party has a boyfriend. He doesn't have a penchant for snatching love. "Also, do you think it's really appropriate to talk to your guys about your best friend's figure?"

Alice pouted, deciding to ignore the bastard who didn't know the good heart.

After dinner in the evening, Jeff took Link to the Bally's Fishing Grounds. The Bali family lived in the fishing grounds.

When they arrived, Barry was waiting outside the gate of the fishing ground with a big beer belly.

Barry exchanged pleasantries with him for a while, then said, "Link, I heard that you are planning to buy my fishing grounds. Do you need me to show you around?"

Link laughed and said, "Yes, Barry." I'm interested in your fishing grounds. However, it's not my first time here. I've seen it before I should have seen it. ”

Barry laughed when he heard him say this, and said, "Then let's go to the office and have a cup of coffee." ”

Link, of course, has no opinion. Jeff hesitated and went along.

Barry made the coffee with his own hands and said, "Link, I think you know the situation in the fishing grounds. The land, facilities, and eighteen lip fingerlings in the nursery. The total price is $500,000. If you agree, we can sign the contract tomorrow. ”

He couldn't blow his fishing grounds into the air. Jeff works right here for him, and he blows too much, which only makes him appear dishonest.

The price he offered, Link had heard from Jeff, so he was prepared. Although he doesn't know the bottom line in his heart, Link also has his own plans.

He smiled and said, "Barry, according to the market price, your fishing ground is more than eighteen acres, although there is a lot of equipment, but those equipment has been used for more than ten years, according to the normal price, I think 300,000 dollars is already in the sky." You might say there are eighteen leaf-lipped fingerlings, but they can't be worth two hundred thousand. ”

"Link, you can ask Jeff, I spent at least $100,000 on eighteen breeding fish. ”

Lin Ji smiled and said, "That's your investment." Regardless of whether the investment is successful or not, it cannot be accumulated on the breeding fish, and the losses caused by such unsuccessful investment cannot be passed on to the buyers, which is unreasonable! I can pay $350,000. Transaction tax, which can be paid by me. ”

Barry shook his head again and again and said, "I can't agree with what you say. Although the money spent on those breeding fish is considered an investment, it is also an accumulation of technology. When you buy the fish, you buy the technology. So 200,000 is not expensive. ”

Link pursed his lips. If Barry had asked Jeff to keep the technology secret and not to spread it without his consent, and not to breed it for other fisheries, Jeff would probably not have access to the lipfish for six or seven years. Jeff must have had that agreement when he joined the company.

His plan to buy the Bali Fishery was largely to keep Jeff from being disappointed. Jeff may have been cultivating the Leaflip Fingerling in the first place. For such a long time, I must have been very emotional about this work.

What kind of person Jeff is, Link is clear. If he is allowed to give up the job when he has the hope of success, but he does not achieve it, there will definitely be regrets.

However, he couldn't let Barry make an offer. His mind turned slightly, and he said, "I can give up to 400,000." Although there are leaflip fingerlings, it is still unknown how much to invest in before raising fry. ”
