For the conditions proposed by Jason.

Link immediately shook his head and said, "That can't be, Jason." Unless you don't grow algae in my area and move out of my farm, I won't allow that area to be used for listed companies. Also, I have one more condition. That is, if I need to refinance, I have priority. Because I want to make sure I have enough shares. Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed the company to stay on my farm. ”

Link made it clear that if they wanted to grow seaweed in his sea, the company they formed would have to be a de facto subordinate unit of the farm.

No one wants to put the company they created under another company. There are many companies that accept venture capital. But they all have the possibility of redeeming their shares. Link's condition was that they couldn't redeem the shares. Don't even give them the opportunity to really take control of their company.

Jason couldn't accept that. He tried to negotiate. But Link refused to give up his terms.

He didn't want to give those capitals the slightest chance to invade his farm. It doesn't matter if it's land or sea.

Jason couldn't convince Link and had to abandon his plan to grow kelp in the sea near Ozette's farm.

Link was also quite disappointed by this, and the investment of three million was not a big deal for him. Even if he loses all his money, he will be regarded as losing a game at the table. If that project is successful, how much money he will make is another matter, but it will allow him to complete the transformation from a simple farmer to an entrepreneur.

The circle of pure agricultural personnel is too narrow, but it is a pity that this transformation has not yet had this opportunity for the time being.

But he will not give up the bottom line he insists on for that purpose. Although regretful, he still asked Mark to send the three to the airport.

He saw that there was still time to continue his inspection of his farm. His phone rang, and it was Harry. When he got through, he smiled and said, "Hey, Harry." Could it be that last night's wine didn't help you?"

"Ztanka was happy last night. Of course, Ztanka has always been happy with my performances. But I was very satisfied last night!" Harry smiled and said three times in a row. "I'm not calling you to talk about wine, but it's about your vines. ”

"What's wrong with my grapes?" said Link, who heard the earnestness in which he cared for his vines. "Did you hear anything?"

He feared that there was some law against the vines, and that if that was the case, he would lose all his money.

"Remember when you bumped into that girl yesterday?"

Link was a little puzzled by his sudden mention of the hot woman, "Something to do with her?"

"Yes. She asks for your number. She said she wanted to talk to you about grape pest control. ”

Link thought it was a little funny that the woman was going to talk to him, they had just bumped into each other yesterday, and she had threatened him. Now I want to talk to him about what I did yesterday.

"How did she find you?"

"She said she didn't know you were the person she was looking for. Today I know, thinking that we ate together yesterday, you came to me and asked for your number, saying that there is a pest control technology that is harmless to grapes. I think you grow a lot of grapes, so just call and ask. See if you're interested in talking to her. If you feel like you can, I can ask for that girl's number for you or give her your number!"

Link thought for a moment and said, "Give it to her." I'd also like to hear what good ideas she has. ”

In fact, he was also worried about the pests and diseases in his grapes. Although the god of decay said that his grapes would be the most resistant to disease in his land, he did not say that he would never get disease. So none of the vineyards on his three farms were connected. In Ozette, it is divided into more than 20 areas. It is to prevent the vines from suffering from serious pests and diseases.

Although he said that the woman was completely harmless and did not trust the grapes, it was okay to listen to what the other party had to say.

After finishing the call with Harry, Link left the villa and went to see the vineyards nearby. That vineyard was not planned for this year's harvest. But he needed to see how they grew. It is also necessary to see if the workers are doing their best to take care of the grapes.

While he was still in the car, an unfamiliar mobile phone number called in. He answered.

I only heard a woman's voice with a slight impression say, "Is that Mr. Hans? This is Jessica Benis." To introduce myself, I'm the Marketing Manager for California Agricultural Services. Our company has a professional laboratory that specializes in the study of grape pests and diseases. At the same time, we also provide services to wineries in the field of grape pest control. We know you're growing a very large area of grapes, the largest in the United States. ”

Link listened to her words, but what he thought about was whether the two balls of flesh that would bounce at the slightest movement of her would tremble because of what she said. He stopped the beautiful thought in his heart and interrupted her, "Just tell me what kind of security service you can provide for my vines." Miss Benis. ”

Jessica's rambling words were interrupted, and she paused visibly before saying, "Yes, Mr. Hans." We all know that there are many pests and diseases in grapes, there are mold diseases and insect pests. Our company has reliable, safe and effective methods for the control of both types of pests and diseases. ”

Link asked directly: "Use pesticides?" Although the grapes he planted also used pesticides, they were all pesticides that had been proven to be too low in toxicity and easy to degrade. But that kind of pesticide has a big drawback. That is, it has a poor ability to kill insects that like to burrow into the vines. As for mycosis, it has a certain effect. However, the shelf life is too short, and the cost of multiple applications is quite high.

"Of course not!"

Link could clearly hear a disdain in Benis's voice. I just don't know if it's disdain for him or for the way it uses pesticides.

I only heard her say: "We all know that even if pesticides are degraded, the products of degradation are not completely non-toxic. Even if it is completely non-toxic, the degradation products remain in the grapes, which will also affect the quality of the grapes. So we don't use pesticides. ”

"Are that genetically modified bugs?"

"Not really. Perhaps you should listen to me, Mr. Hans. Jessica Benis spoke softly.

Link said, "Okay. As long as it is not with pesticides and genetically modified methods, I can listen carefully to what you have to say. ”

"Thank you. Jessica continued. "The main method we use for pests in grape vines is zombie fungi. In the case of mold, bacteria and viruses are used to kill them. ”

Link waited for a moment before he said, "Finished?"

"Yes. If you want to know more, Mr. Hans, I can send you some of the instructions we've made. ”

"I'll send you my email address. Perhaps, I can use a small piece of land as an experiment. "There are also small areas of pests and diseases in the vineyards of Ozette. Otherwise, he wouldn't have paid attention to the vines that had not yet borne fruit.

"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Hans, for answering my call. I will send you the information as soon as I receive my email address. ”

Link said "um" and hung up.

Of course, he wouldn't believe all that Jessica said. Sellers say their products are good. For example, Mont Sandu, the Roundup and other products that they used to blow out of the sky, have been proven to be residual when used in agricultural products, and they can cause cancer, and it is actually similar to the Agent Orange used in the Vietnam War - they can cause cancer, and they can kill all the green. Their soybean seeds are not harmed because they have a protein that is resistant to that herbicide through genetically modified technology.

A protein that can resist poisons, if it is not toxic at all, is really a wild talk, but they say that it is "generally harmless". Yes, that's what they say. Although there is no sufficient experimental data in the experimental reports submitted by them. But they just have the ability to get the FDA to repeat that sentence directly to consumers.

So he is very distrustful of advertising. But he can give himself a chance, he can use a little bit to find those things to be analyzed and studied by professional people. If that's really possible. It's not that he can't accept new technology.

He also plans to do this to see the after-effects. Jessica Benis, who was on the other end of the phone, was already jumping with excitement.

Ignoring that it was in a public place like Harry's pizzeria, she put down her phone, threw herself at her companion, and laughed, "Kiss, he agreed to try it." ”

"Yes, I see. But I'm afraid this is not a happy place. "Her companion was a girl with black tortoiseshell eyes. The most striking contrast between the two is the chest of the two, one with two grapefruits, and the front of the torso like an apple10.

It's hard to imagine how the two of them became good friends!

"Thank you for telling me. Jessica suppressed her laughter and kissed her the cheek, laughing and laughing. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have known there was a vineyard like that in Nevada. ”

She really didn't know. The vast majority of the nation's vineyard wineries are in California, so her company's main focus is also in California. But California's vineyards are often too small to afford the services their company demands, and the big wineries are dismissive of her company.

When she told her good friend in Las Vegas, who was now beside her, she suggested that she try her luck in Nevada: "Did you know that there is a thousand acres of vineyards on the shores of Lake Mead? It belongs to a young man, and maybe he can accept your new technology." ”

And so she came, and she seemed to have the first steps to success.
