Carrick was refuted by Martha and was not annoyed.

"But that's a working principle," he laughs. It proves that we can rely on seawater evaporation to develop agriculture in the desert. ”

When Link heard him say this, he knew that he had some new idea, and said, "Then what do you say to do?"

"As long as it's not far from the shore, you can bring the sea water to the pool on the shore. Put something like a solar water heater on top of the pool. Pipes are used to transfer heat to seawater in the pool. The evaporated water vapor of seawater is drawn out by pipes for cooling. I want to get a lot of fresh water and a lot of salt at the same time. ”

Link's lips pursed as he listened. He's considering the feasibility of this approach.

Martha also frowned, also wondering if the method Carrick said was worth it. She waited for Carrick to finish speaking, and then asked, "Have you considered the cost?"

Link replied, "Growing food is definitely going to be at a loss." But it is entirely possible to grow high-value cash crops. He looked at Martha and said. "You make an assessment of what Carrick said, and if it works, you can do it. ”

"That kind of project investment will definitely be larger, and the recovery period will be longer. ”

"We can't look at everything about money. "Link certainly understands that. But he has his own ideas. "We need to be a predator in agriculture, but we also need to be a company that strives to contribute to the world's agriculture. And we don't have to do it ourselves. ”

When he said this, Martha still didn't understand. She nodded and said, "I'll sit down and do my research and evaluation." Although Link has plans to use that method, since she has to make an evaluation, it means that the economic benefits must be considered. At least, Link wasn't going to do anything at a loss.

Carrick was also interested: "I can help. ”

"Thank you!" Martha said to him helplessly. Then there was a look at Link and continued with what they hadn't finished. "If we want to invest in Africa, we give priority to the East African Rift Valley or the savannah. Of course, we would also consider buying land from some of the big landowners in Africa. As for South America. We found that some of their cattle farms in the Amazon are not doing well because of the increased cost of feed. I feel like we can spend a little more money and buy the farm from them. We might be able to convert them into arable land. ”

Link thought about it and said, "You can do what you want." Upfront you can have a budget of $500 million. It can be used to buy land, and it can also be used to PR government officials in those countries. ”

"Understood!" Martha was very satisfied with the budget of $500 million, and if it was just to buy land, it would already be able to buy a very large farm in the United States.

"OK! Now let's talk about Strus Electronics. Carrick?"

Carrick was crooked on the couch staring at Martha, and when he heard Link call out his name, he immediately said, "Strus Electronics can ask Martha." She knows more than I do. ”

"That's because you don't care about anything at all!" Martha couldn't help but roll her eyes. But she was also in charge of this project, and she had to tell Link. "At the same time, we are looking for parts suppliers all over the world and building our own assembly plant. In addition, the production line designed according to Carrick's requirements has also signed a supply contract with a Chinese company. If nothing happens, our assembly plant should be completed by March next year. ”

What Link needs to know, that's enough.

He needs to arrange the use of funds. Knowing the progress of Strus Electronics, he was able to rationalize the funding of the project.

In other words, I don't have to think about the investment budget of Strus Electronics for half a year. ”

Martha nodded and said, "Theoretically, that's the case." ”

Link turned to Carrick and said, "Carrick, you're going to be in charge of everything from Strus Electronics during this time. ”

"Why?"

"Because Martha has something else!"

Martha didn't wait for Carrick's objection and asked Link, "Is there anything I need to do?" ”

"It's still about agriculture. I need to establish a subsidiary outside of the United States. Europe, East Asia, South America and Africa, all needed. You may have to work hard in the coming year. I need you to help me form these companies personally. As for the plan you just mentioned, if you can give it to other staff, you can leave it to other staff. If you can't take care of it, it's shelved again. Questions?"

"Nope. ”

"I have!" said Carrick, sitting upright. "Strus Electronics can be given to someone else, mine to Martha as a tour guide. I have been to many countries. ”

Before Link could speak, Martha smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Carrick." But I don't dare to use a rich guide like you. ”

Link also said, "Carrick, I'm not kidding. If, after a year, you really don't want to manage the company, I won't say more. But now, ?"

Strus Electronics uses the technology provided by Carrick, and if he and Martha don't care, they can only leave it to someone else. But Link doesn't want to let more people know about the core technology of the project before it actually works.

Carrick saw that he was serious, and could only nod: "OK!"

Martha saw that he was no longer gagging, so she asked Link, "Do you have anything I need to accomplish?"

"First of all, you have to set up a Benihans subsidiary in Hong Kong. "It's freer there, and he doesn't want to get the attention of the United States so quickly before Benehans launches it in the United States. "There is also a need for an agricultural laboratory. ”

Martha didn't think the task was very heavy, nodded and said, "No problem." ”

"The subsidiary in South America was established under the name of a coffee plantation. Africa could be built on the basis of studying the agricultural model that Carrick just described, or by likewise moving into the coffee industry. As for Europe, I don't ask for it. But the companies that are built have to have laboratories. ”

"I see!" Martha had heard that it had something to do with coffee, so she could juggle one of her plans at the same time. "But domestic jobs?"

"If you can do both, do it. If you don't feel like you can take care of it, leave it to someone else. ”

Martha also feels that she may have to run all over the world in the future, and many times she may not be able to deal with Link's affairs in time. She thought about it for a moment and said, "I suggest that the finances be given to Miller, the investment projects to Morris, and the management and external liaison of the company to Deere." ”

"Good. Link had no problem with her arrangement. He couldn't find anyone he trusted more. "You can have a month to prepare, and after a month, start the work I just mentioned. There is no problem!"

"Of course not. ”

Link nodded and said, "Well, that's all I have to say." What do you have to say. ”

"No more. Since there is nothing else to do, I will go first. ”

"I'm gone, too. ”

Carrick said and stood up with Martha.

Link said to him, "You stay, I have something to tell you!"

Martha smiled, and Shi Shiran left.

Carrick saw that her back was blocked by the door, so he sat back on the couch and said, "Anything else?"

Link said, "Let's go out for a walk. ”

He led Carrick to an inconspicuous corner of the casino lobby and sat down.

Carrick laughed and said, "What are you bringing me here for? Teach me to gamble?"

Link said, pointing to the gamblers. "What do you think they're here for?"

"No more than two. Money and excitement!"

If Carrick is serious, it is still normal: "I fantasize about getting rich overnight, and I also enjoy the pleasure of adrenaline secretion." What do you want to say, though?"

Link smiled and shook his head slightly, "They don't just want money, they want to succeed." ”

"Success at the table?" Carrick disagreed. "At least I haven't heard of a few. ”

"So what they're chasing is dreams, but there's a lot of things that come with a function. So they're still looking for success. Isn't it?"

"Why do you want to talk to me about such philosophical things today?" said Carrick, reaching out to a passing waiter for a cocktail. Say. "Success certainly brings a lot of things, such as women, such as fame. Another example is power. ”

"I thought you didn't know!" Link said with a laugh. "Now that you know, why are you running away from Strus Electronics? aren't you after Martha?"

Carrick blinked quickly and said, "What does pursuing Martha have to do with me managing Strus Electronics?

"You're lying! Carrick. When your heart is weak, you blink. ”

Carrick smiled and didn't speak.

Link knew that he was not a kid who didn't know anything, and he didn't beat around the bush, saying, "A big reason why I came to Las Vegas this time is to convince you to run Strus Electronics. ”

"Isn't it okay for Martha?"

"Of course not. But how she can do it is just one person. And she's a woman. If you can't catch up with her, she might marry someone else!"

"Are you doubting her work ethic?" Carrick said with a laugh. "She'll be sad if she knows. ”

"I mean, she's going to get married and have children one day. At that point, can I still hope that she will drop everything to help me manage the company?"

"That's true, too. ”

Link continued: "While she manages my main assets, those are all imaginary. Even if she leaves her job due to personal matters, it will not have much impact on my career, because the core of it is in my hands. But Strus Electronics is different, and it's hard for us to find someone who we trust as much as she does. ”

"It is completely possible to find a professional manager to manage it. ”

"Of course you can do that. But since you want to pursue Martha, why not make yourself appear to be more successful. Of course, I know that you are actually very successful, but you dare not let people know about those successes. Isn't it? You always have to be successful for others to see. ”

"You're saying that Martha is the kind of woman who only looks at the surface?"

"Everybody looks at the surface first, okay? If you can't attract someone from the outside, who has the time to find your inner show?"
