Chapter 213: Get moving

(The madman is begging for subscriptions again!)

The following text

…………

Alice's sixteenth birthday was not luxurious, but it was very lively.

But it's also fundamentally a gathering of friends. It's always time to disperse after the excitement.

After that, Link began to find something to do for himself.

In fact, he didn't really have nothing to do, but he threw away a lot of things and let others do them.

On this day, he came to the low-rent community construction site in North Las Vegas As, which was under construction. Martha is the person in charge of this project, and she heard Link say that she was going to see it today, and of course she came.

The two walked around the construction site with construction helmets. The project manager of the project also came, and he briefed Link on the progress of the project.

"It only took us half a month from the design to the start of this project. The project manager finally said with a smile. "Of course, this is also because the project uses the design we already have. With that foundation. We also have a lot less design work. ”

Link is very happy with the progress of this project. Go out and lay the foundation outside. The construction period has only been a week old, but the two buildings have already been assembled with three floors each. At this rate, it will take up to four weeks to complete the construction of these two buildings, and the other two buildings may be faster.

Combined with the interior renovations, such a building can be completed in a maximum of nine weeks. This is indeed a very tight schedule.

He nodded and said, "We do go for speed. But quality is also important. You know that although Nevada has not had a major earthquake, it is also a seismic zone. Earthquakes are felt several times a day almost every day. So safety is important. ”

"Mr. Hans, you can rest assured that such a building, although assembled, can withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake. ”

Link didn't know if what he said was true. Presumably they experimented on the model. He didn't believe it, and he couldn't get a magnitude 7 earthquake to test it.

"Then I'll be relieved. ”

After inspecting the construction site, Link and Martha did not immediately separate, and they went to Martha's team's studio again. Link has something to tell Martha.

In Martha's office, because the area is too small, there is no special place to meet guests. Martha asked the newly recruited female staff to make coffee and bring it in. Then she sat down behind her desk and said, "Do you have any plans?"

Link said she had something to tell her, and she thought Link probably had some new idea.

Link nodded and said, "It's not a new plan. He paused and said. "You know I've made some money in New York. I'm going to put another amount of money into the fund. It's 200 million, and maybe in a little while, Fern will donate some money to my fund. I can't think of any good charity projects here for the time being. You investigate and see what the right project is. You can have a budget of $100 million. ”

Martha was a little excited when she heard him say this. "When I was in the casino, I thought I would have to wait until I was at least forty years old to have the opportunity to manage more than $100 million in permissions," she laughs. She thought for a moment and said. "But are you going to do these charity projects in that area? or in Nevada?"

Link thought for a moment and said, "There's already a project in Nevada. I think it's better in New Mexico and Washington. ”

Martha understood that he was planning to link the fund to his other businesses in some way for the time being. "I see," she said. I'll look into it carefully. "Low-rent community projects in Las Vegas may not be suitable for other places. She needs to do a careful investigation.

Las Vegas is a large city of two million people that is growing fast, but there are also many homeless people. But other states don't necessarily have the same conditions as Las Vegas.

Of course, if it works, she could also move the low-rent community project directly to those two states: "I have a suggestion. We may be able to wait for the low-rent community project to run for a while before considering it. If the low-rent program works well, we can roll it out to other states. ”

Link thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Then I'll make a plan as soon as possible. Although Link said that she could give Martha $100 million, she knew that it didn't mean that she could use $100 million. Rather, she can plan within $100 million.

Link said, "Have you been in contact with Brad Affleck lately, and how are their kelp experiments going?"

"I haven't reached out to them for more than half a month. A week ago, though...... It should have been eight days ago. Martha recalled. Then he took out a notepad and opened it. "Hayley contacted me. She said that their research has made progress. The ideal way to grow algae species may have been found. But now they're doing their first experiments at sea. ”

Link listened to her and said, "Did they ask for anything?"

"Not really. But Hayley said they might need new investment if the experiment was successful. Because their lab needs some upgrades. I was going to tell you about it after they succeeded. ”

Link nodded and said, "I know about this." I'll be talking to them in the near future. "Originally, he didn't really care about the ocean project. It was mainly the guy named Jason Twain who had to step on him that he thought of funding the project.

But now he thinks differently. He needs to get a higher social status. Then you have to have a bigger business. Now he thinks that the profitability of that project is not very strong, and it is not important. As long as it does not lose money and has certain prospects, then it has to continue.

Seaweed farming is not a new industry. But the ocean industry is an important part of the brokerage of humanity's future. He's stepping in now, and he's able to take a position in advance. If he can become a strategic high ground for a certain industry, that would be ideal.

He had a general understanding of kelp farming, and now it seems that a relatively large-scale industry has formed in northern China. Although the West Coast of the United States is famous for its kelp, it is far less developed than in China.

That's because, of course, the profit margins are not high. And the restrictions are also large.

But it's not the same with Link. He also has his own interests in the sea area, and the investment cost will be much lower than others. Once Brad Affleck has cultivated a higher economic value of giant algae, they can promote the cultivation of giant algae. Macroalgae is also very promising as a raw material for chemical and pharmaceutical purposes.

After Link left the studio. In the car, he called Furlen and said, "I'm going to donate 200 million to your charity fund." Give me an account!"

When Furren heard him say this, he remembered the previous agreement between the two. He laughed and said, "That's just right." I don't have time to publicize it, I've always donated it myself, and it's better financially with your donation. You can also send me your fund account number, and when I am free, I will also donate a little money to you. It's kind of my heart. ”

Link heard him say this, and knew that the other party understood what he meant.

They really want to donate to each other. Just stagger the time. Don't donate the same amount every time. Of course, the total amount of each of them will be about the same as that of each other.

"Actually, I'm very interested in your low-rent community project. "This project was dug up by the media after Link became famous in New York. That was another ad for Link.

But when Flon heard about the project, he probably understood what Link meant, even if he didn't have to ask Link. That kind of project might be more expensive. However, in some respects the benefits are indeed more beneficial than in some relief programs.

Of course, what gives him an advantage over Link is that he has an alma mater to donate money from, and then gets certain resources from his alma mater.

"This project is now in charge of Martha Topson, and if there's anything you want to know, you can reach out to her directly," Link said. "It's no problem for him to say hello to Martha

"Hmm. I'll get people in touch with her. ”

Link asked him again, "Do you still plan to carry out your offshore wind plan?"

"Of course. I've signed a contract to buy the unit!" Fren said with a smile. "Although many of GE's wind farms have accidents. But my supplier is not them, but Svitas. Now the installed wind capacity in the United States has dropped to 12% all of a sudden. I think there's a lot of room in between. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "What do you need to inject into offshore wind power?"

"You're also planning to develop offshore wind power?" said Furlen after a moment's thought. "I see, you're planning to build a power plant in Ozette?"

Link didn't hide it from him either, saying, "Yes. You know that the water table in Ozette is very high. If I want to store wine, I need a lot of storage space on the ground. In that case, I need a stable power supply. ”

The aging of wine requires a relatively strict environment. Temperature and humidity should be well controlled. And he may end up needing to store one or two hundred million bottles of wine. The electricity needed for those cellars is no joke. If the power supply is unstable, the stored wine can become worthless. That's something he absolutely didn't want to see.

Fren thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, I don't think I've been to your Ozette yet. Why don't you wait for me to take a look. Maybe I can give you a little advice on offshore wind. ”

Link of course welcomed, saying, "Good. When are you coming. I'm planning to go to Ozette at this time. ”

"When are you going, let me know in advance. Actually, I'm curious about the castle you're building. It was definitely the first castle of the 21st century. ”

Link smiled and said, "I plan to go over the day after tomorrow." However, if you want to see the castle, you may not be able to do so. Unless you're willing to take a look at the construction site. ”

Fren laughed and said, "That's good." I'll go to your farm tomorrow night. By the way, did you buy your plane?"

"An order has been placed. "The plane was designed a long time ago. There are also a large number of templates for him to choose from for the interior decoration. Together with Jessica, he settled on one of the interior renovation options and made some minor adjustments. After that, the price was negotiated and the contract was signed.

Flon sighed: "It's a pity that I'm not used to flying, otherwise I'd have planned to buy a Dreamliner." He laughed as he spoke. "You know, I made over two billion last month. A 787 costs only tens of millions of dollars. ”
