Chapter 609: Something Isn't Right

Today, in order to save costs, the U.S. network and digital TV signals share the same fiber.

It is based on this feature that their own programs are sent to the TV.

Although it is necessary to pay the network operator for signal transmission, it can form its own signal transmission network in the shortest possible time.

And this fee can later be paid by the viewer who watches the TV. If there are more network TV stations, network operators can bundle the signals of various TV stations, and the cost will be lower.

When Link returned to Washington, he watched NTV with Jessica in the evening. It's the same hourly news, and it's prime time in the West.

The news anchor is still Linna, and the interview with Jessica is also being broadcast. However, Lina wore a black women's suit, her hair was permed, and she wore a tortoiseshell black-rimmed glasses, and the language of the report was not rigorous. People look mature and intellectual.

It was completely different from the one Link saw in California.

Jessica laughed and said, "Is this Lina's twin sister or sister?"

"Perhaps!" Link also laughed. But she says she can handle all the hosting styles. Now it seems that she is not lying. ”

Jessica smiled and said, "Well, the morning style can appeal to young people." Now she can be dressed up to make her the object of sexual fantasies for men between the ages of sixteen and sixty. She said as she glanced at Link. "Are you tempted? She looks slender, but she's definitely a meat bullet. The face is so beautiful. Don't you mean the slightest bit of unspoken rules?"

"Do you wish I had it or do you wish I didn't?"

"If you dare!" Jessica said, looking up and biting his chin. "I'll give you half of your property!"

"I promise I didn't. Jessica said that she would divide half of the property, but in fact she knew best that it was impossible. Because before getting married, she insisted on registering her property. Link didn't know if she was proud or because of faith that her marriage to him didn't come to an end. Jessica never asks a question like that. Now that she asked, he didn't dare to be perfunctory. "No matter how beautiful she is, she is not as beautiful as you!"

Jessica snuggled in his arms and looked at her children sitting on the carpet and playing, and no longer dwelled on the topic: "Now the whole United States, and even the whole world, know that Benehans has that kind of technology. How do we deal with it?"

"Constant should change. "The technology Jessica is talking about is, of course, the cultivation technology of that super natural gas bacteria. "The more countries you know, the better. ”

Jessica asked again, "So what are you going to do?"

"You forgot the cattle at Fairway Peak Farm and Baker Farm? I'm going to keep them in captivity. Plant some fiber-rich pastures. ”

"So you're planning to expand your cattle farming?"

"It depends on the situation before you decide. However, the herd should be expanded. There are also Bell Farms and Southern Oregon Farms, which can also raise cattle. In addition, I plan to raise some pigs. ”

Jessica nodded and said, "Pigs can also produce a lot of natural gas feedstock. ”

"I plan to add the existing three-dimensional ecological pig farming model to natural gas. ”

Link explains: "After fermentation, the crude fiber left over from pig manure can be turned into a better fertilizer. ”

"Are you planning to turn a few farms into demonstration bases?"

"It's also an advertisement. ”

Jessica nodded, not asking. Since it was Link's farm, those investments naturally belonged to Link personally. As for the technology, Benehans is, of course, available for free.

However, she thought of the remaining cattle of Ozette, and looked up and asked, "What are your plans for Ozette?" There are also more than 15,000 cows. In the future, it will be sold out according to the previous plan and no longer raised?"

The cattle and calves from the Ozette Farm are sent to other farms in Link, and the raised cattle are slaughtered and sold to restaurants.

Link's previous plan was that Ozette would no longer raise cattle.

But now that the situation has changed, it seems that he should reconsider.

He thought for a moment and said, "If you keep cattle in captivity, maybe you can add some cattle." "There are more and more residents of Fox and if they can use Ozette's cattle to produce natural gas, they can sell it there directly.

And some of the previous investments are not wasted. There is no need to look for fertilizer for grapes.

"Maybe some pigs as well. ”

Jessica thinks it's captive anyway, and it's okay to raise more animals. As long as it is handled well, it will not affect the environment of Ozette.

Link thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we can build some factory farms on the edge of the farm." That would give Fox more jobs. It can also attract more people to Ozette. ”

Jessica also understands his thoughts: "With jobs and relatively cheap housing, I think more people will want to come to Fox." Also, I think the environment at Fox is good. It is surrounded by forests and the air is clean. Maybe it's a good place for an IT factory. ”

"What do you think?"

"Maybe we can let Fox offer tax incentives for startups to attract IT entrepreneurs. You know, Silicon Valley, while famous, is no longer a suitable startup city. Nowadays, IT entrepreneurs from many countries have gone to some countries in Asia where land prices and taxes cost to start businesses. That shows that the concentration of colleges and universities is no longer the most important condition for IT entrepreneurship. ”

Link laughs and says, "That's what a mayor should think." ”

"But that's good for your investment in Fox. ”

"As long as there are enough people to come to Fox. It doesn't have to be a business. ”

"What if your bank lends to those entrepreneurs?"

"It's very risky to start a business! And the law has restrictions on start-up loans in the IT industry. "If you fail to start a business, you think that the loan will become a bad debt. Moreover, it is difficult for the IT industry to borrow money if it is not listed.

"Then there's the financial investment company. ”

At present, the main IT entrepreneurs are mainly developing mobile phone software or game software. There is also software for some web design. Of course, there are also more high-end intelligent designs.

Such an entrepreneur may become rich overnight if he succeeds, but the possibility of failure is not small. It's not that the product can't be developed, but there is no market. Or the competitors are stronger than them.

Link thought about it and felt that what Jessica said was also reasonable, as long as a company succeeds in starting a business, the income obtained must also be able to make up for the losses caused by the failure of investing in ten companies.

"You still have Strus. Maybe they'll become Strus's software developers. ”

Link didn't think it was a good idea. Still, he said, "I need to talk to Carrick, you know. The intelligent program of the Strus mobile phone was developed by him, and it is also the core secret of the Strus company. If you want to make other software compatible, it is possible to expose the source code of the core intelligent software. ”

Jessica hadn't thought of it. "That does have to ask Don for his opinion," she said. ”

If it doesn't need to be made public, Link agrees with Jessica's suggestion.

No matter how talented Carrick is, he is just a man. And Strus's internal software development department cannot compete with the external R&D capabilities. The most important thing is that Strus does have to think about compatibility with other software.

If someone likes a certain piece of software and Strus doesn't work with it, he may not use their phone.

That is indeed a contradiction. He really should ask Carrick if he can think of a way to make the sales of Strus's phone very limited if the source code is not made public, and if it is made public, it will face huge competition.

Once the source code is made public, royalties may be charged. But how can the income from patent fees compare to the profit from selling mobile phones, a mobile phone has at least 50% of the gross profit.

If Strus has fully rolled out and fully established the brand, he thinks it can be considered. But now that Strus has just started selling, it's too early to reveal the core intelligent operating system. After all, they are selling mobile phones, not just software.

Jessica saw that he seemed to have a plan, and stopped mentioning it: "Banker will be here the day after tomorrow, do you need anything to prepare at home?"

"No, I don't. He came alone, he would arrive in the afternoon, and he would be able to cook something delicious in the evening. ”

Link asked Bank to come in to show him the yield of Benis No. 1 wheat. Winter wheat in the United States will take some time to be harvested, but now that the wheat has been tasseled and filled, it is possible to estimate the yield of wheat.

The year before last, he gave some wheat seeds to Bank for a trial planting, but because it was too late and the weather was a bit abnormal, he didn't succeed in germinating. Last year, he didn't send the wheat seeds because they hadn't been processed.

However, Bank should have seen the news on the American side and brought it up again not long ago. Link also hopes that Benis No. 1 wheat will be rolled out to Europe. Banker offered to try it again, and he didn't refuse. He was also invited to come and investigate.

"So you're going to Nevada the day after tomorrow?"

"Go to Oregon first. Bank hopes to see all three farms. I'll be at Renault for another half day, which adds up to two days. ”

"You'll be back early when you're done. You're not there, and the kids ask you where you are every day. Caitlin in particular, she asks once in less than an hour when you'll be back. Jessica was a little jealous as she spoke. "She certainly didn't ask you that when I wasn't home. ”

Link hugged her tightly and smiled, "Of course there is! In fact, every half hour I tell her that my mother is working and will be back in the evening." ”
