Maybe it's because Link and the others talk about things that don't fit in with hunting, and they don't find the red deer herd they were looking for.

It's not that they didn't find the red deer herd, it's just that that's not what they wanted. They did spot a herd of red deer, but only one adult buck, but it broke two forks from a fighting horn, which saved it this year.

Several other bucks were still young bucks, and their horns were too small to be worth making into a taxidermy deer. They had to give up.

However, Link hits two hares.

Running in the snow caused the horse's stamina to decline quickly, and Albert was the first to notice that the horse's stamina was beginning to decline, so he suggested stopping the hunt. They went back to the place where the white-tailed deer had been buried, dug it up, and dragged it all the way back to the villa after a horse.

Although the hunt didn't accomplish all of his goals, Jeff was happy with the result. But they didn't make the deer head themselves.

"I've got to find a taxidermy as soon as possible. "Jeff started looking online for the right person.

Deer head making, of course, is not to cut off the whole deer head and then preserve it with a preservative method like formalin. When making it, only the skin and horns of the deer are taken. If the craftsmanship is better, the bones can also be preserved. The meat is sure to be dug up in its entirety. The middle will be supplemented with gum. How to keep the deer head from deforming is a craft.

Link watched Jeff leave the living room before he said to Albert, "It seems like you've ruined your fun today." ”

Albert held a glass of white wine, shook his head and smiled, "I remember there is a saying in China that means that fishing is all about the fun of fishing, not how many fish are caught. ”

He asked again, "By the way, Link." You're looking for a new interior designer, are you planning to turn this into a vacation destination?"

"Maybe I'll settle here in the future. Link didn't mean to be perfunctory. "If you have a good manor-style architect, you can also introduce me to one. I think a manor should include living, entertainment, sports, leisure and so on. ”

Nevada was fine, but he didn't think it was the best place for little Hannah to live, it was too dry and it was in the highlands. He felt that Ozette might be a better fit here. And he intends to personally manage Ozette.

"I do know a few friends like that. He laughs. "I hope you can reserve a room for me in the future. The environment here is truly amazing. It's like being in a national park. Maybe I'll come on vacation more often. ”

Link smiled and said, "Of course that's fine. Albert is only in his forties now, and he has at least another twenty years to work as a winemaking instructor.

He smiled and said, "I also want to ask you for something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I wanted to know more about wine, but I found that there were many magazines and professional books about wine. But I don't know which magazines and books are best for me. Can you give me advice?"

Seeing that he was finally willing to learn more about wine, Albert was as happy as a devout preacher who had succeeded in developing believers, and said, "Of course it is fine." There are some books that are not translated in the United States, and I can ask a friend to collect some for me in the UK, and I can give you a list of books. As for the magazines, I can also give you some advice. ”

He then went on to say the titles of some of the magazines: "Wine Spectator, Wine Lover, and Wine & Spirits are magazines published or available in the United States, and you may be able to subscribe to them yourself." Wine Advocate is a Portuguese release, and it is also available in English, and I think you can subscribe online, and if you can't find it, I can buy it for you. "Alcohol Notes" is distributed all over the world, and you should be able to find it too. ”

After Christmas, the Hans family can't stay in Ozette forever, and although Link has decided to live in Ozette in the future, it certainly won't be now.

Link returned to Nevada with them. Link then accompanied Albert to taste the wines of Hans Farm and Hanova Farm.

Albert decided that the wine from Hans Farm was ready to be filled.

The bottling of red wine has been arranged for a long time. Link left it to Benjamin to take care of. At most, he asks once in a while. Hanova Farms is bottling by a wine academy student who had been interning with Albert.

Fast forward to the New Year, and his three private attorneys finally finalized a draft investment contract with California Agricultural Services. An asset investigation of the company was also completed.

Link received these reports and saw that there was no problem, and he could sign an investment contract with Benis.

The one who came to sign the contract was with Florin Benis. Jessica didn't show up. Link remembered that he and Jessica hadn't been in touch since the last time they met, except for talking on the phone at Christmas.

He couldn't help but ask, "Florin, is Jessica okay?"

"She's fine. She is now in Australia. ”

"Is she going to Australia? What a good idea!"

Florin laughed and said, "That's just one aspect. She said she was going to try her luck over there. You know, there are quite a few wineries in Australia. She also seems to be planning to go to Chile, Argentina and South Africa. Those countries are all countries with good quality vineyards. ”

Link didn't expect Jessica to be ambitious, and the California market was about to rush to the world before it was laid. I haven't seen him for a month, and he really misses that girl like Barbie.

Then he got back to work, preparing the wines from all three farms for bottling. Each farm has a large bottling line, although it is all computer-programmed. But a lot of things still have to be done by him. Wine bottles, wine labels, all those things need to be handled by him. There are also three farms that fly back and forth, supervising at each farm.

It wasn't until late January that Bella called him out of the blue: "Link, you're having trouble applying for organic food from your three farms. ”

"What's the trouble? Isn't it going to take a while to start judging?"

"Yes. However, the FDA will first evaluate the place of origin. They think your three farms are inadequate. Your application has been sent back. ”

Hearing such bad news, Link rushed back to Las Vegas from Ozette. He got the application that was returned. The application is accompanied by a provenance assessment report, which points out deficiencies in all three farms, such as the dense water network at the Ozete farm, which makes it easy for cattle to cross-contract diseases through drinking water. Grapes are irrigated with such a water source, which can easily contaminate the grapes with pathogenic bacteria.

And Hanse Farm is a similar reason. It's about herd grazing, which is not controlled.

Hanova Farm was even more ridiculous, and they rejected his application on the grounds that "Hanova Farm's drinking hole for cattle is tilted inward." Cattle tend to excrete when they drink water, and excrement will go directly into the pool, so it is recommended to set up a drinking water tank. ”

Isn't that ranch's drinking water pool sloping inward?

Such a blow did not make him too angry.

Then what happened next made him drop his phone directly.

The Federal Tax Service went so far as to publish a list of wealthy people suspected of tax evasion. Among them is him!

The real meaning of the suspected tax evasion is that the Federal Tax Service suspects these people of tax evasion, but there is no definite evidence, and the future will focus on investigating these people.

That's what it means, anyway.

According to the Federal Tax Service's explanation of the list, "[the list] does not have any legal force and does not have a qualitative effect. We just remind these people that in the future, we will keep an eye on them. It is hoped that they will take their civic duties seriously. ”

The IRS explained in a humane way and seemed to make it clear that those people might not have broken the law. But since the list was approved three years ago, anyone on that list has had a bad reputation.

Although in the United States business is business. But for those businessmen who have a bad reputation, the other side of the cooperation always puts forward higher conditions because of their bad reputation. Because of their bad reputation, even the bank interest rate will be raised by two levels.

And Link paid nearly $200 million in taxes last year, and he ended up on that list.

Joining him on this list is Flen Pitt.

Previously Flen Pitt and Link have said that Wall Street is likely to hit him with means outside the market. And now both are on that list at the same time.

If it weren't for all of those organic applications being returned, Link would have thought he was on that list because he had been dragged down by Flon Pitt and Stoll.

But now he's at best thinking that's part of the story.

Flen Pitt may have been on that list solely because he rejected Wall Street's wooing. And he may have offended another group of people. I just don't know if Wall Street is connected to those people.

Overnight, he summoned three private lawyers to discuss countermeasures.

It's just that none of the three lawyers can do anything about that list.

McCully is the most familiar of the three attorneys with tax law. He was also responsible for filing taxes for Link.

He heard Link ask if there was a way for the tax office to remove his name from the list, shook his head and said, "Link, even if we submit strong evidence, it will take a long time to remove your name from that list." The reason they give for putting you on the list is the tax report filed by New Mexico. If you're going to file a complaint, you have to go through the New Mexico Department of Revenue first and then file it with the Federal Revenue Service, you know their bureaucracy to get this thing on the April annual tax filing deadline. ”

McCully seemed to sense something, too, so he said the word "bureaucracy."

But that's also the disadvantage of hiring young lawyers like them, who don't have enough connections to find the right person to help their employer in such a situation.

Link's tax records in New Mexico had nothing to do with them at all, he just needed to file his taxes in Nevada.

Link thinks of Giovanni, who is waiting for his successor governor of New Mexico.
