On April Fool's Day, only Link and his youngest daughter are at home. After the two had lunch, Isabel sat on Link's lap with a candy in her mouth and a small cloth bag frog in her hand.

"Why, Daddy, we frogs, eat bugs?" said the little one, looking up and intermittently, his voice muffled by the candy in his mouth. "I want to eat fruit Q candy. ”

Link also had a frog doll in his hand, but it was bigger. He listened to the little guy's games inseparable from fruit Q candy, and he was amused in his heart, but his face was serious, and he moved the frog doll in his hand, and his big mouth was closed one by one, saying: "Because our frog's mouth is too big, eating fruit Q candy will fall out." ”

Isabel looked at the frog doll in her hand, and her mouth was really big.

She thought for a moment and climbed off Link's lap and ran, shouting as she ran, "Lisa, help me find a toy." ”

Link saw that she had gone to Ms. Hammer, and was not afraid that something would happen to her. When I saw her running away, I raised my eyes to watch the news.

After watching it for a while, the news moved to the world news section. Soon, news reports predict that the drought in East Africa will continue this year.

"European meteorological experts predict that the world climate will remain abnormal this year, with widespread drought in South America, water vapor in western Africa due to weakened pressure centers making it difficult for water vapor to reach the interior, and longer rainy seasons in western Africa. In eastern Africa, due to the anomalous Indian Ocean monsoon, precipitation is still less than normal. The Southern Subcontinent is likely to see more precipitation. Abnormal precipitation is also likely to occur in the Australian outback......"

Link looked at the news and couldn't help but frown.

The drought in eastern Africa has not had much of an impact on the Benihans group. There is a desalination plant there, so you don't have to worry about the water on the demonstration farm.

However, the abnormal climate in Australia and South America will have a more serious impact on the Benehans Group.

Milulag Farm has a tropical monsoon climate, and in normal years there are annual floods that inundate large swathes of land. If the precipitation increases, it will have a big impact on the entire Milulag farm.

And South America. The dry season in South America is already dry, even in tropical rainforests. The Benihans Group has quite a few farms there. If the drought intensifies during the dry season. The Benihans Group's farms will inevitably suffer. It may even be possible to lose a lot.

The news also says that there could be more hurricanes and precipitation in North America this year. That is, the entire world's agriculture could take a hit this year because of the climate.

That's a little bit of a bad idea.

Agriculture is not good at this, it is susceptible to the effects of the climate. If climate issues affect agriculture, Benihans' various business sales will be affected.

"Daddy, Daddy! look!" said Link, as he pondered how to deal with the impact that the world's climate might have on the Benehans Group's business, as Isabel rushed to the couch with a bunny doll. "Rabbits have small mouths and can eat Q candy. Daddy, can you give a rabbit Q candy?"

Link laughed, picked her up, and said, "How much do you like candy, little fellow?"

The little guy blinked, then held the rabbit in front of him and dangled: "It's the rabbit that likes it." The rabbit said, "Yes!"

"Then Isabel gives the rabbit a Q candy, okay?"

As soon as the little guy heard Link's words, he closed his mouth, his cheeks bulged, and his already round little face suddenly bulged into a big bun. Then he bowed his head and ignored him.

Link was about to reach out and poke her face when Ames walked into the living room and said, "Boss, I just got a call from Mr. Elkins of Texas, who invited you, Mrs. and Allen to his youngest daughter's sixteenth birthday ball, which is held in Houston. The time is May 3rd. ”

Mr. Elkins, whom Ames is referring to, is a key figure in the Elkins family, a major constituent family of the Texas consortium. This gentleman, Link was introduced to him by Kempner, and he was a friend in business interests.

Link nodded and said, "You reply to him first, and I'll go if I have time." "In a month's time, he can't say whether he will have time or not.

Ames said, "Okay. I'll reply to him. He turned around and wanted to leave the living room.

Link thought of something and stopped him and said, "Ames, it seems like you've been with me for more than three years. Right?"

Ames nodded and said, "Yes, three years and eight months, to be exact." ”

"Would you like to go back to Hans?"

Ames hesitated for a moment and asked, "Boss, is it because I made a mistake?"

"No, I would like you to be vice president of Hans! And you take over her current position. ”

Ames' eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "Thank you boss for your trust." I would love to come back to Hanse!"

Miller is president, and Ames doesn't want to ask too much about what happens to Morris, the current president. As Link's special assistant, he naturally knew that Link was quite satisfied with Morris. So unless Morris resigns voluntarily, or with Link's personality, a better position will definitely be arranged.

Link nodded and said, "Then you prepare, I will arrange someone to take over your current job as soon as possible." When the time comes, you'll have the job handed over. ”

"Okay!"

Sending Ames to Hans as vice president was a deliberate idea.

Martha has actually shown signs of resigning as president of Strus, so he should find a replacement as soon as possible. The best replacement he could think of was Morris. Morris may not be the best trailblazer, but he has a good ability to blaze the trailblazers. And he's a good keeper.

Now Strus not only has to open up, but also start to defend. So Link felt that Morris should be a good candidate to succeed Martha.

Strus didn't have the position of vice president before, and now Link arranged one to let Morris get acquainted with Strus's business first, and gain some prestige in Strus, and then take over after Martha's departure.

As for Ames, Link discriminated against him to end up in the position of president of Hanse Investments.

As for Miller, Link hopes that the other party will go to Xiangjiang to replace Deere. If she is unwilling to leave the United States, he will make another arrangement.

Link hopes that Deere will be back in a year to take up the position of president of the Benehans Group headquarters. And he can get out of the Benihans group.

As for Martha, when she can work again, Link does not plan to let her continue to serve herself, but prefers to support Martha to start her own business.

And Neil and Claire too.

All three of them have that ability, and they have that ambition.

Link wouldn't be thinking about taking back their shares in those companies. If they want to, Link invests in their ventures with his own funds.

With a strong background, Link believes that they will quickly succeed and grow if they find the right direction.

Link's industry, though now known as America's new rising conglomerate. But the Ozette consortium is too small after all. In the past, any consortium had several groups as support. California participated in the delegation, and there were three groups: San Francisco Group and Los Angeles Group. The Texas consortium is also made up of several families.

The so-called Ozette consortium in Link's hands is still very weak in the United States, and the power is too concentrated and unstable.

Link has limited energy alone. There is simply no ability to open up new areas. If the Ozette Foundation wants to truly become a consortium, it must have a stronger force. Then Link needs other partners whose interests are closely aligned.

Link plans to invest in Martha, Neil, and Claire because they are rich themselves, and as long as they can develop, they can easily become the new family in the United States. At that time, he and them, as well as Fllen, Kempner and so on, can be combined to become a consortium in the true sense of the word. And not as nominally as it is now.

Link had thought about these issues before. I just don't think there's a need to rush it for the time being. It's just that the abnormal weather was reported in the news just now. It reminded him that Benehans seemed to be strong, but in fact he was very vulnerable. If Benehans suffers a heavy blow. Strus could not support his Ozette consortium on its own.

So he decided to start laying out ahead of time to do those. He needs to get involved in more industries through allies and collaborators to make his business structure more stable.
