(The electric switch in the house blew up at night.) It took two hours to change the switch. If you can't catch up, you will change the four thousand first. ）

Link's laziness is at most stealing for a moment, and complaining is just talking. He still has to continue to do what he has to do.

The more he gets to the end of the year, the more things happen to him.

Martha sent a video and test report, as well as an electronic report of hundreds of pages.

The video is about the site and road tests of the unmanned logistics system.

Link had seen the video first. As you can see in the video, the design of this test is quite rigorous. There is not only the normal driving process of unmanned trucks, such as the handling of trucks when encountering various situations in front and rear vehicles in accordance with traffic rules. There is also an emergency response for trucks when they encounter a vehicle that does not strictly follow the rules.

There were no problems with the whole process. He read the report again, and the report said that the test can preliminarily prove that the unmanned logistics system is safe in the normal traffic environment.

And that electronic report, which is mainly a bill, is the bill that needs to be paid to collect the driver's experience.

After reading the video and the test report, Link immediately called Martha.

"Martha, that video isn't over-edited?"

"We took long shots, and throughout the test, after solving the problems encountered in the field test, we were able to drive completely normally on the road without any problems. ”

"That's good!"

Link said, "You guys should have more tests going forward?"

"Yes, we will also conduct at least four tests, mainly to test the responsiveness of the system, but also the resilience of the system. Of course, we will also run a completely public test. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "Have you been in contact with Amanda?"

Having been contacted, Amanda and Catherine will be headlining the news in the coming days. ”

Link was very happy with Martha's disposition: "Good. This project needs to be kept hot all the time. ”

"I know what to do. ”

Link said a few more words and hung up.

He picked up the document again, looked at several copies, and found a document faxed from the Benehans Group. This is a document sent by the administrative department of the group company, which proposes that the institute should concentrate manpower and funds on the key projects of research.

The Ministry of Administration believes that the research expenditure of the company is quite high, and there are too many research projects, which disperses funds and human resources.

Link thought for a moment and wrote a few lines of criticism on the paper.

However, when he saw another document, he picked up the document from the Administration Department just now. He thought about it for a moment and picked up the papers and went downstairs.

Jessica watched a few children play in the living room.

Alan teaches the twins to recognize cards. The cards are coloring books of animals or plants. Hannah sat across from Jessica and drew a few of them. He looked over and saw that she was sketching, and that Jessica had drawn it into the paper. He looked closely at the lines that were already on the drawing paper, and he should have drawn in the surroundings.

Hannah felt him behind him, tilted her head and gave him a big smile: "Daddy, are you free? You sit next to Kaka, and I'll draw you in." ”

Link reached out and rubbed it on her head and said, "Okay." But Daddy should sit on Jessica's side? Do you need Daddy to sit still?"

Hannah pointed to Jessica and said, "Sit on the right side of Kaka, and I'll draw Daddy in the middle." No need to sit still. ”

Link nodded, came over to Eren and crouched down, and said, "Ellen, how much have Evan and Caitlyn learned?" he said as he hugged the little daughter who threw herself into his arms.

Alan laughed and said, "Caitlyn has a better memory, she can recognize all the animals and plants, Evan seems to be smarter, he seems to be able to read." ”

"They're smart, but you're sure to teach him well!" Link said with a smile as he patted him on the shoulder. "Because you're smart too. ”

Alan smiled a little shyly, as if he was still not used to being praised by him like this.

Link patted him on the shoulder again and said, "You keep teaching them." With that, he coaxed Caitlyn down from him. Finally, he rubbed the head of his youngest son, who was ignoring him at all.

He sat down next to Jessica before smiling and saying to Hannah, who was waiting for him with a slight pout, "Okay, Daddy is seated!"

Hannah smiled and continued to draw.

Link looked at Hannah and said to Jessica, "I just read a document from Beni Hans. There was a suggestion that the research projects of the institute would be reduced and resources would be concentrated. ”

When Jessica heard this, she asked suspiciously, "Although the cost of research expenditure is high, isn't that the direction we have set a long time ago?"

There are many research projects, not only to ensure the company's leading position in technology, but also to retain those researchers. And Benehans now has enough money, and the money invested in the institute will not drag down the group.

She thought Link was in favor of that.

In fact, Link didn't think it was better to do that way.

He shook his head and said, "I'm just worried that if we can't unify the company's thinking, it will cause chaos in the group's operation." Moreover, the scale of the institute is getting bigger and bigger, and it is true that there is no limit to the number of research projects that can be increased indefinitely. ”

Jessica thought for a moment and said, "You're right, what do you plan to do?" Now the shares of the Benihans Group are still dominated by the two of them, but they have announced the option distribution plan and give a certain dividend to those executives. If you can't get the company to have one mind, it's really easy to have problems.

"I plan to hold a meeting in two days between the Benehans Group Institute and the company's top management to get the company and the institute to agree on this. ”

"It's really time for a meeting. It's almost the end of the year now. It is not only a summary of this year's work, but also the direction of next year's work, and it is time to prepare. ”

Link nodded and said, "I may be a little busy in the coming period, and I may not have time to stay at home until the Christmas holidays." ”

"Don't worry, I'll be fine at home. And Lisa is very good at taking care of pregnant women. Jessica said with a smile. "And I'm not the first child anymore. ”

Link nodded and said, "I'm sorry. I should have spent more time with you. ”

Although the Benehans Group has an absolute controlling stake in Link, the institute does not say that the equity is the most important, the most important is the researchers.

Jessica, on her part, could communicate better with Florin. That's why Link brought it up to her.

On the company's side, he can use equity as authority to make other executives obey his decisions. This makes it easier for the company's administration and research to come to an agreement.

At the headquarters of the Benehans Group, he held two meetings to deal with the contradictions within the company's business direction. The institute and the administration each gave way. In the future, the institute will selectively open new projects, and the administrative department will have to ensure that the research funding and logistics of the institute are in place according to the plan.

This avoids the chaos that can occur in the company.

With these things dealt with, Link summoned the new managing director of the Benehans Group in the president's office, which he rarely attended.

The new managing director of the Benihans Group is called Finley Wilson. The former general manager was transferred from the position of director of the administration department to the general manager of the company group.

This is probably his idea to reduce research funding. Link called him over, not to mention it again.

Link sat him down and said, "I've seen the document you sent me saying that the company's project with MTM is about to run?"

"Yes, the construction of the project has been completed and they hope to be officially operational before Christmas. Before that, they need to do a test run. ”

"How long is the trial run cycle?"

"Half a month. The main thing is to see if there will be problems with the processing system and the working system. ”

Link thought for a moment and asked, "Is the time confirmed?" Is there any ceremony?"

"They set the time for Saturday of the week. There are rituals. We were working very well in the experiment, and their trial run was actually a propaganda. ”

Saturday? is the day after tomorrow. Link said: "Reach out to them, and I'll be there for their launch." ”

Finley Wilson was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll contact them later." ”

Link added: "Ask how many media they invited. And what are we doing to get the word out about this project?"

"We invited some of the media. The main ceremonies are presided over by the other party. ”

Link frowned and said, "Finley, we won't have much actual gain in this project, so we can only get intangible gains. ”

Finley Wilson was selected by Link and Jessica to be the general manager of the Benehans Group, and of course his brain would not be bad. He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we can do more publicity at the official opening ceremony of the project and during the trial operation." ”

Link knew that time was tight right now, and if he negotiated with MTM to change the ritual process now, it might not have much effect.

He nodded and said, "What we want is fame, and since we want fame, it doesn't matter if we spend more money." ”

The project of the Benehans Group and MTM, is a municipal sewage treatment system. The two companies have invested in a wastewater treatment plant that uses Benehans' super-degrading bacteria to break down organic matter in the water. As for the remaining contaminants, the original method is still being tried.

So Benihans' involvement in this project is not too high, and the sewage treatment plant has almost no profit, and needs government subsidies to make a profit. MTM does not intend to share this revenue with the Benehans Group.

Link didn't care about that profit before. This project is just an advertising campaign. At the same time, let the Benehans Group label itself as a concern for social issues.

The Benehans Group needs a good image in front of the public!

After Link's remark, he signed some more documents at the Benehans Group. Most of these documents are appropriation documents. He had also seen the specific purpose in the previous document, and he would sign it as long as it could be corresponded.

He signed the papers, and Finley Wilson reported back to him. In the past six months, Benihans's business has been extensive.

Finley Wilson's first report is, of course, the business of the head office in the United States: "100% of the customers who bought wheat seeds last year have bought our seeds again. In addition, we have selected a number of new customers based on the region, and the total planting area is about 4.6 million acres. So far this year, 14.38 million acres of farmland in the United States have been planted with Benis No. 1 wheat. ”

As he looked at the documents, Link said, "It is said that there will be a decline in winter wheat acreage this year. ”

"Yes, because last year's winter wheat production was relatively high, the data reported by the government will reduce the planting area by 1.86 million acres this year compared to last year. However, the area planted with spring wheat is expected to increase by a corresponding amount. So in general, the acreage of Benis No. 1 wheat is about one-third of the total acreage. It is not yet a monopoly. ”

Link looked up at him and said, "Pay attention to this line. We don't have to occupy too many markets. ”

"I understand!"

Finley Wilson certainly understands. The Benehans Group is still a family company, and if it is anti-monopolized again, it will be a death call.

He continued: "In addition to wheat seeds, we have received more than half of the orders for Benis No. 1 corn and Bennis No. 1 soybeans, of which more than 63% of corn seeds and 54% of soybean seeds have been pre-ordered. ”

In addition, the pre-sale sales of Amaranth virus also reached $1.8 billion. In addition, we will continue to roll out several super weed viruses next year. In addition, the pathogenic virus against bacterial diseases of corn and soybeans will also be promoted. However, the pre-sales are still very small. Only a few agricultural cooperative associations contacted us. ”

Finley Wilson also reported on the business of the food processing company and the promotion of the Little Llama project.

"So far, our alpaca breeding center has trained more than 3,200 small farms, and they will make the necessary modifications to the farms by March next year. We have pre-sold more than 40,000 baby alpacas. These baby alpacas will be sold primarily by the Little Alpaca Breeding Center at Southern Oregon Farms. Others will be imported from Peru. Sales of this project are about $240 million. ”

Link asked him, "Can our service team keep up now?" and the baby alpacas for sale were sold as breeding camels. So the price will definitely be higher.

But if you can't keep up with after-sales service, it's also a big problem.

"The baby alpaca breeding center is also training artificial breeders. By June of next year, we will have 500 technicians to provide technology to alpaca farms across the United States. ”

In the Little Alpaca project, Link is not hoping to make much money from selling baby llamas, but hoping to win over those farms. Of course, the price of the baby llama can still make Benehans Group a lot of money. In terms of cost, raising a baby alpaca is only about $800, but they sell it for $6,000.

But compared to before, it's actually cheap. A breeding camel sold in Peru costs up to $30,000.
