Link had breakfast, drank another glass of water, said a word to Barbara and Jeff, and went back to his room.

Sleeping Link isn't really going to follow. He changed his clothes and got out for a run. He had only left the yard for a short while, and Benjamin had come out of the rented house in a sportssuit.

Benjamin and the others knew that Link was in Overtown and had a habit of running in the morning. But before, when Link was running, they wouldn't have anyone to follow them. That would make Link feel like he didn't have any personal time. But Benjamin didn't dare to take it lightly.

Benjamin ran side by side with him and said, "Boss, Mike and Warren are on their way to Las Vegas." If it's inconvenient for us to only have one car, Warren will drive that car back. ”

Link didn't expect them to leave so early. But he didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "I see." ”

"Also, I'm going to have Douglas walk around the community for the next two days to see if there's a new face. ”

Locals can't be killers, so if anyone wants to kill Link in Overtown, just keep an eye out for outsiders.

It's just that Link thinks it might be a big deal: "But occasionally tourists come over to buy something." ”

Overtown's proximity to the National Tourist Area may make it possible for some road trippers to visit Amber Town. Staring at all the outsiders, Douglas may not be able to cope with it alone.

"Douglas is a specialist in this area. Whether it's a tourist or a killer, he should be able to tell. ”

Link was noncommittal, saying, "Although you should be cautious, you don't need to be too nervous. If the other side does use the gunman, you should pay attention and see in advance. If I had used other means, I would have been able to handle it myself. "The Overtown community, with a population of only 200, has lived here for several years and knows almost everyone. This is his home turf.

"We'll take care of it. "Benjamin has been Link's bodyguard for a while, and Link hasn't messed around since he made a fortune in a city like Las Vegas, and he's a very peaceful person. Such an employer is their bodyguard's favorite.

Link came back from running, and Cox and Alice didn't go to school.

After greeting his family, he took a shower before coming out. Cox and Alice had gone out to wait for the school bus. Jeff, who had already gone to work at this time, was still waiting. However, at this time, Bally's fishery had been bought by Link and asked him to manage it, and he didn't need to rush to check in every day.

He remembered that in the wee hours of the morning, Jeff had said that he wanted to talk to him about the fishing grounds. I guess I'm waiting for him.

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Jeff said, "Link, the fishing farm is basically on track. What do you have requirements for working in the fishery?"

Link didn't even think about saying, "You're an expert at this." Just look at it. However, I hope that the leaf lip nursery project you mentioned will bear fruit as soon as possible. As for the funds, you use to worry about it. ”

Jeff heard him say this, and a smile appeared on his face: "Then I will manage the fishery according to the previous plan." However, I would also shift my focus a little bit towards seedling breeding. When the fry are bred, we will try to breed the leaf lipfish in captivity. ”

"Just do as you say. It's not a problem if the fishery loses money in a year or two. I know that as long as the artificial seedling project can produce results, the previous investment will soon be recouped. If done well, it can even make a lot of money. Link said with a smile as he took a sip of milk. "That's right, Dad. Since the fishery will be handed over to you for management in the future, the treatment will be in accordance with the rules of the industry, and in addition to the salary, you will get a 20% commission on the income in the future. ”

In an industry like fish farming, senior technical consultants are usually paid a certain commission on income in addition to their salaries. However, this commission is not fixed. Some people want a percentage of sales, while others want a percentage of revenue. Of course, there are also people who only need a salary, but the salary is usually higher.

It's just a little special here in Jeff. Because the salary that Link had previously negotiated with him was probably the highest in the same position. The annual salary is 150,000 yuan. That kind of annual salary is already the highest salary for a small fishery like the Bali Fishery. With that kind of salary, there will basically be no more income commissions.

So Jeff refused, saying, "The salary you're giving is high enough." No need to mention achievements. ”

Link said, "Dad." You are the manager of the fishery and at the same time you are the technical consultant. I should have paid you a double wage. So, don't refuse. ”

In the United States, Lao Tzu may not work much for his son, but it may not be none. Even if it is an employment relationship like that, the corresponding remuneration must be given according to the rules.

And Link and Jeff are just adoptive father and son, without the slightest blood relationship. Both of them know that it is good for the whole family to explain such a relationship of interest.

Jeff felt that Link wanted to make his family's life easier since he said that, so he accepted it. But he still has one more thing to say to Link: "And since the fishing ground has been bought, shouldn't it be changed to a different name?"

Link thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that a lot of trouble?"

Jeff nodded and said, "Some of the previous certifications need to be re-processed. ”

Various certifications are required to start a fishery, such as HACCP certification, GMP certification, and the like. All certified Pali fisheries are available, and if you want to change the name of the fishery, then these certifications must at least change the name back to the above.

Other certifications are good to say, but HACCP certification is the basic certification for bathing and fishery operations, and if there is no certification, it is illegal farming.

Jeff continued: "The name of the fishery was changed, and there were all the people, and the various certifications needed to be re-evaluated. At present, in addition to the indoor fish breeding workshop, all the rainbow trout in the fish pond have been caught. We can take advantage of this time to apply for the HACCP certification review. As for the other certifications, it is enough to pass the review before the next fishing is launched. ”

"In that case, you can arrange it. ”

“OK。 But what do you think the fishing grounds should be called?"

"What do you think, Hans Fishery?"

Jeff and Barbara both have to go to work, and Link suddenly becomes an otaku, only occasionally calling friends to contact him, and not even leaving the house all day.

The next day was Friday, and in the afternoon Alice came home from school to see Link at home, and before she could put down her bag, she asked him, "Hey, Link, are you free tomorrow?"

"Is there anything going on?" Link doesn't plan to go to Las Vegas until Mike comes back, and he plans to go to other places for the time being.

Hearing him say this, Alice happily walked to his side, threw her bag on the sofa, hugged his arm and said, "Tomorrow is Saturday." Lily's strawberries were ripe, and she asked me to pick them. Can you take me to her farm?"

Lily's family lives west of the Carashand community, and her family owns about 20 acres of land, of which 18 acres are farmed.

There are not many farms in the Moapa Valley, and they are not very large, usually a plot of a few acres or a dozen acres. The farms here don't grow wheat or corn or anything like that. Fruits and vegetables such as pumpkins, tomatoes, spinach, bell peppers and fruits such as strawberries are grown here to feed more than a million people and tens of millions of visitors to Las Vegas. Of course, there are also people who grow potatoes.

Lily's farm grows a lot of things, including a strawberry field, where the strawberries are ripe today. It's not the first time Alice has gone to her house to pick strawberries. However, Lily's farm is more than ten miles away from Hans's house, and there are no taxis in Amber's community, so Alice used to go there to play either by the adults in the family or picked up by Lily's family.

Link had sent her there twice before.

Although he is also free, he can't just agree: "Does Mom agree?"

"Of course, I just got her permission. ”

Since Barbara Head agreed, of course he would not object: "Then no problem." ”

"Thank you Link. We'll leave tomorrow at eight o'clock, okay?"

"Eight? OK, I remember. ”

At 7:50 the next morning, Link drove to Spal Farm at Alice's urging.

Lily's full name is actually Lily M. N. Spahr. The Spar Farm is also named after their family name.

They picked up the car and went to Spahr Farm, but it was only about ten minutes. Spal Farm is on the banks of the Moody River. The Moody River says it's a river, but it's actually just a bigger stream. But the river is the source of life for the entire Moapa Canyon.

The car was parked in the somewhat exaggerated yard of the Spal family. Lily was already waiting outside the house, and when she saw the car, her smile seemed to be brighter, and when the car stopped, she ran over on her long legs, still carrying a basket in her hand.

"Alice, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Here's your basket. The two girls hugged each other and laughed. She said with a smile as she saw Link get out of the car, let go of Alice, and let go. "Link, welcome. This year's strawberries are growing well. Are you going to go strawberry picking together?" she said, blushing in her face.

Link gave Alice the visor he had brought with him, before he could speak. Alice took one out of the basket that Lily was carrying, and gave it to him, saying, "Link, let's go together." I know you're free. ”

Link took the basket and said with a smile, "I've heard that the strawberries I picked are better." ”

Lily's family had already gone to work in the fields, and Alice was clamoring to pick strawberries immediately. The two girls laughed and muttered in front of them. Link walked ahead and didn't know what they were talking about.
