Link's words stunned Paul Brown, and he said, "You're going to work on a wind project there too?"

"You don't agree with that?" Link listened to his tone, and his heart flashed with surprise. If the old guy doesn't want to take risks there, then he doesn't know who to turn to to support him.

Brown Sr. laughed and said, "Of course, I'm really looking forward to seeing someone invest in new energy projects in Nevada." That's what you're here to tell me?"

Link didn't hide it either, saying, "Yes. Previously, GE wanted to get that piece of land to engage in wind power projects. Now the land has been taken by me. I want to invest in wind power projects there, and I'm afraid they'll get in the way. ”

Old Brown frowned, his forehead lines piled together. After a long time, he said, "It is indeed possible for them to do that." I've heard that they spent a lot of money on that project. ”

Link smiled bitterly and said, "You see, I messed up their big deal, I heard that projects like energy need to be approved, and I hope to get your support from you, Mr. Senator." He fears that if he doesn't have that kind of support from the sidelines, GE will hold him back at the political level.

"How much will you invest in your project?"

"I had to go through a team of professionals to find out. For example, I have just completed the field research at Hans Farm, and I may come up with a specific plan for the project in a week. Maybe I can give you a look. ”

Old John shook his head and said, "There's no need for that." We often lack electricity in Neva, and the investment in new energy development projects will not cause pollution to the environment. If you want to do that kind of project, you just need the state legislature to approve it. I'll try to get it through. ”

He pondered for a moment, and then asked, "You just said you only had that plan for Hans's farm?"

"Of course not. Listening to Brown Sr.'s assurance, Link smiled very cheerfully. He said. "In fact, I'm going to exploit local wind resources on all three of my farms in Nevada. ”

"Including the Baker Ranch on the border?" Old John really had an eye on Link.

Link nodded and said, "Yes." I'm going to develop wind resources there as well. ”

"First you have to register a company, and then you can write a preliminary plan and give it to me. I try to get it passed by the state legislature. ”

"Don't need a detailed plan?"

"It's possible to pre-approve. The detailed project can be approved by the state government at that time. In fact, as a new energy source, the state of Nevada has been strongly supporting. So there's no reason for the state government to veto!"

"That's what I want to hear! Thank you, Mr. Senator. Link finally asked. "If the wind turbine I need is supplied from abroad, no problem?"

"You can indicate in the preliminary scenario that it is possible to use foreign equipment. We do not have the authority to require investors to use equipment in that particular country. Isn't it?" said Old Brown with a smile. He is not a supporter of GE.

For Brown Sr., as long as Link invests, it's good for Nevada. Whether GE will benefit from this is beyond his consideration. As for the so-called national interests, he did not feel that Link would harm the interests of the United States by adopting the equipment of other countries. That's just hurting GE's interests.

And what happened to Link in Renault, he has also heard about it. And he also suspected that it was GE's doing. So even if he wanted to speak for GE, he knew that Link would not agree to use GE equipment. Other U.S. wind power manufacturers are too competitive.

Link was quick to take his leave.

He came out of Old Brown and called Team Leader Du.

At this time, Team Leader Du had just returned to San Francisco.

When he received a call from Link, he felt a sigh in his heart. He was worried that Link's call was going to be made at the same time that they didn't need to do the analysis.

Luckily, Link didn't say anything that disappointed him.

Instead, Link made a very strange request to him: "Team Leader Du." You are professionals in the wind industry. I have one thing I want to ask you for. ”

"Link, please speak. ”

"I want to compile a proposal for a discharge project, which needs to be approved by the state legislature. ”

"Link, I think you can find a more professional team to do that for you. "It's not that Team Leader Du doesn't want to help Link, but he knows that they Chinese are not familiar with some American laws and other things. It may not be possible to write a report that will be adopted by the state of Nevada.

"Nope. I don't want too many people to know that I have a project plan like that until the plan is approved. ”

Team Leader Du was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Without going into details, Link explained: "I'm going to build three wind farms in Nevada. Hanse Farm is the smallest of these. There are also two more tracts of land that are over 200,000 acres in size. That's a big project. I hope that no one will harass me until I get approval. ”

When Team Leader Du heard this, he forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart and said, "Link, I can't promise you now." But I'll want our leaders to reflect your request right away. ”

He's not stupid, Link said he didn't want anyone to harass him, he should mean the wind turbine supplier who wanted to get the project he said. If Wind Power can be built on such a large area as Link said, it will definitely be a big order.

Link doesn't want U.S. suppliers to know, and it's hard to say whether they're inclined to Huaxin. But Huaxin was the first to know about this project and had more time to prepare than other competitors. That would give them a bigger advantage in the fight for Link's possible project.

Link was well aware that all he had to do was submit the report to the state legislature for approval. Knowing that he had that plan, the councillors would find their associates, and the producers would pounce on them like sharks smelling blood.

So after getting Brown Sr.'s promise, he hired a team from a foreign company to compile the project plan.

That said, but it also doesn't stop U.S. wind turbine suppliers from harassing him before the project is passed. But it can reduce the number of surprises that may arise during the state legislature's approval process.

Team Leader Du thought for a while and felt that there were some things that needed to be explained to Link: "Link, if we want to do a project plan, we may need to conduct a field trip. ”

Link said to him: "I will give you a map of those two lands, and you can first use the data analysis of meteorological satellites to analyze how many wind turbines can be built." The installed capacity can be appropriately floated. Because after the project is approved, there will be no problem as long as it does not exceed the approved scheme limit. ”

"I see. Team Leader Du couldn't help but say more. "Link, we at Huaxin would very much like to be able to cooperate with you on the whole project. ”

"You will be my first choice. Link was speaking from the heart.

Today, Huaxin Group is one of the world's most technologically advanced wind turbine suppliers and the world's highest sales supplier. In the U.S., there is no company other than GE that can compete with it.

Link didn't even think about working with GE. At least GE won't think about it until he clears the suspicion of Renault's crash.

After negotiating with Team Leader Du, Link saw that it was still early, so he went to the villa on Bakers Avenue to rest for a while. I talked to Jessie on the phone in California and had a video with Hannah at home.

When it was almost time to make an appointment with Sheng Bingheng and He Ning, he went to the MGM Hotel.

He booked a private room. Sheng Bingheng and He Ning arrived before the appointed time. It was just the two of them who came. This also confirmed Link's judgment that Lan Yuchun was not He Ning's real girlfriend.

He beckoned the two to sit down, and then ordered Chinese food.

Although Link has not been in the business world for a long time and has not experienced much, he has seen and heard a lot of things when he was a hotel waiter before. and Sheng Bingheng are not worried, and there is no topic to talk about. I really can't talk about it, he speaks Chinese, and he can also talk about China. After a meal, the atmosphere of the three of them can be regarded as familiar.

After dinner, they didn't leave the private room right away.

Link sat on the sofa and shook red wine and said to He Ning, "He Ning, you came to the United States to expand your travel routes?"

"That's right. He Ning took a sip of red wine and said. "My company already represents several major tourist routes in the western United States, but you know that more and more people in China have the money to travel abroad. The demand for tourism resources is also getting higher and higher. We need more innovative tourist routes. ”

Link smiled and said, "I wonder if your company has opened up the route of Olympus National Park?"

He Ning shook his head and said, "No." Link, you probably don't know. When Chinese go abroad, they will prefer to go to some big cities, where they can shop and appreciate the culture. If it's a natural landscape, unless it's very famous, and it's very peculiar. For example, the Grand Canyon in the United States, and some famous islands. ”

Sheng Bingheng said with a smile: "If you want to see the natural landscape, there are many natural landscapes in China. And there are no real historical monuments in the United States. So most people come to the U.S. for the city. ”

Link listened to what they said, and was quite disappointed.

He also wanted to see if he could bring Chinese tourists to Ozette through He Ning.

In order to attract tourists to Ozette, he promoted wine among tourists. For that plan, he spent more than $20 million to make Ozette a tourist attraction. But until now, there has not been a single tourist.

However, there are also reasons why he did not manage it carefully.

He thought for a moment and said, "Isn't there a tourist who wants to enjoy the big farm and the life of nature?" ”

He Ning immediately understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Only people who are tired of big cities will have that kind of travel need." Can't say no, but very little. And such people are usually rich people. They usually don't need to travel with a group. ”

He paused for a moment and then said, "I think Link you hope to receive Chinese tourists on that farm near Olympus National Park!"

Link nodded and said, "Yes." I spent $20 million to build small self-contained buildings along the edge of the forest and dig a small river that could be rowed through the farm. Special hunting grounds are also planned. However, it has not been able to attract domestic tourists, and there are no foreign tourists. ”

He Ning said with a smile: "Your tourism resources are not novelty. In addition to hunting, there are so many of those resources you mentioned in China. As for experiencing farm life, few people want to come to the U.S. specifically for horseback riding or looking at large meadows. There are many places that can provide such resources in China. And hunting, the United States is subject to too many restrictions. No one will come to the United States to hunt. If you really like hunting, you usually go to Africa. ”

"Okay. It seems that I was thinking too much about it. ”
