Chapter 612: Cooperate Again

Recommend a book with a certain degree of professionalism "God-level Counselor". A rebirth from Sanqing and no water.

It's professionally written, but it's also easy to understand. emm…… Anyway, the madman who was said to have no experience understands it. If you're as smart as a book friend, how can you not understand it?

Reading this book is not to say that it is helpful for book lovers to start a business, but at least it allows readers to distinguish between those who are crooked and those who are practical when they look at the business flow.

Well, all of the above is crazy nonsense. (?Ο‰?) hiahiahia……

(the following text)

……...

No one dared to discriminate against him. Link must have achieved this goal, at least on the surface, no one will discriminate against him anymore.

But he is well aware that discrimination against yellow people in the current white society is the norm. As long as he's yellow. No matter how rich and powerful he is, he is still the target of discrimination.

He really wants to achieve that goal unless whites no longer dare to discriminate against yellow people, at least no longer discriminate against Chinese.

There's no way Bank understands Link's mentality. He just felt that Link's path in investment was the most suitable.

Bank's stay in the U.S. was scheduled for just two days, and they realistically assessed wheat production on South Oregon farms in the morning. Link also took him on a tour of the alpaca breeding farm.

Link thinks Banker seems to be interested in alpaca farming as well.

But Bank didn't say anything else, and he didn't say anything.

In the afternoon, they flew to Baker's Farm. There are slight differences in the wheat yield estimates between the two farms, but Bank is receptive to the different soil conditions.

When the unit yield assessment came out, Bank said to Link from the edge of the field: "It looks like this is indeed a very high-yielding wheat." And I've heard that they have a little higher protein content than regular winter wheat. ”

"Yes, about 0.5% higher. Link said with a smile. "It's true in the lab, but it's also true in the field. So that's certainly not the difference because of the way we grow it. ”

Bank also noticed a big difference between the wheat fields at Baker's Farm and the surrounding soil: "I've heard that your fields use only a very small amount of fertilizer. ”

"In fact, the wheat I grow only uses some fertilizer on South Oregon farms. Both Baker Farms and Fairville Peak Farms in Nevada use green manure and manure. Green manure is giant algae residue, manure, which is the use of fermented cow dung. ”

Link continued with a smile: "You know, fertilizer is a big cost, and this is desert soil, and if you use fertilizer, it will cost even more. The use of green manure not only saves costs, but also transforms the soil. He said as he bent down and grabbed a handful of soil from the wheat field. "It's still mostly sand. But the sand content is about 20% less than the surrounding soil. ”

"I did notice. "The wheat soil is not yet obvious on the South Oregon farm, but here Bank does see a clear difference in the wheat field soil. He also grabbed a small handful of dirt and pinched it, and asked. "But is there a big difference between the output of the laboratory and the output of the field?"

"It's not too big, and the lab has about 20 to 35 percent more output. ”

"Well, the fertility of those giant algae residues is pretty good!" "Generally speaking, lab-grown grain yields are more than 40 percent higher than those grown in the field, and sometimes even half as much as in the lab. "Still, the use of kelp residue and cow dung has a better effect. ”

"I haven't tried this before. ”

Link shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "But the South Oregon Farm didn't raise cattle before, but the production there is slightly higher than here. Perhaps, the yield of fertilizer will be higher. ”

"But the use of chemical fertilizers can cause damage to the soil. Bank said with a smile. "If the yield of the fertilizer is not very high, I think more farms would prefer to choose the kelp residue. ”

"Hopefully so. You know. I work with others to grow macroalgae. ”

"I've heard that several areas are already being done in the North Pacific. ”

Link smiled and nodded, "Yes." Two have been built on the North Pacific coast of North America, three are in preparation and three more are under negotiation. In North-East Asia, there are also four maritime areas under negotiation. There are also five maritime areas under negotiation in Canada's Northern Sea Zone. ”

"Have you ever thought about finding some sea areas in Europe to breed as well? I heard that there are companies in the United States that specialize in the production of kelp green manure. ”

"That's right. It was the Xihua company that I invested in that cooperated with other companies. ”

"Maybe in the northern part of the North Sea, too, is suitable for planting. If you can grow it and you're interested, I thought I could put you in touch with the Scottish Government. The sea area near some of the islands north of the British Isles should also be suitable for the cultivation of macroalgae. ”

Link was certainly interested. He has already started to develop his career in the United States and the world. Agriculture is an industry with a strong sense of protection in various countries, and it is easier to open up the market if someone can help. He immediately said: "I will let Xihua Company go and inspect it." But please bother. ”

"Haha, if the kelp can really be promoted in the UK, I think it will be quite popular. I've heard that algae can produce foliar fertilizer. There are quite a few courses in the UK, and there are quite a few golf courses. The demand for turf in the UK is very high and I guess the market for foliar fertilisers is quite large. ”

Link said with a smile: "WestChina is really validating this technology. However, it is not yet possible to compete with the existing companies that produce foliar fertilizers. ”

Xihua also came up with the idea of using bacteria to completely ferment and decompose the giant algae to form a liquid fertilizer. This step is not difficult, the difficult part is how to get the plants to absorb the fertilizer through the foliage.

Link added, "Let's go back to the villa first, it's a bit noisy here." If you feel tired, we can also go for a soak in the hot springs. The hot springs here have almost no sulfur smell. It also contains a variety of minerals that have certain benefits for the body. ”

"Wind turbines are good, but they do have some drawbacks. Banker looked at a tall wind turbine in the middle of a farmland a few hundred yards away. "But these units should be able to generate a lot of electricity. ”

Link said as he walked back, "Yes. They can yield a number of benefits. The electricity is all sold to Las Vegas. The noise is a bit loud, but this is already the least noisy unit of the same power in the world. ”

"And the interference of light and shadow. ”

"It's good to get used to that. And workers don't have to work long hours in the noisiest areas. They can close the windows inside the tractor and the noise will be much less. What worries me the most is the damage that infrasound will do to the human body. Thankfully, the infrasound waves they produce don't cause irreversible damage. It's just that if you stay near the wind turbine for too long, you will lose sleep or lose concentration. But our workers' quarters are a mile away from the nearest wind turbine. So there won't be any problems. ”

Despite the drawbacks of wind power, he is still considering building a wind farm on a South Oregon farm. However, the wind farms there are mainly planned in the mountainous forest areas, and the pastoral areas are only a small part. More than half of the farms in Southern Oregon are mountainous woodland, which is expensive to build because of the terrain, but there is still money to be made in the event of abundant wind resources.

Back at the villa, Link opened a bottle of red wine.

Bank took his glass and said to Link, "Link, until now. I feel that there should be a market for Benis No. 1 wheat in the UK, and that Benihans wheat can also be grown in the spring. As long as this year's harvest of these winter wheat yields the expected yields. When I return to China, I will get permission to try again. If I can get that opportunity, I'll buy seeds from you in advance. ”

Link nodded and said, "Thank you, Bank! I'll be ready this time." But I have to warn you. Benis No. 1 wheat cannot be left behind. Their offspring will have a large percentage of degeneration. Yields may be reduced by up to 40%, and the protein content will also be uneven. ”

Banker smiled and said, "I can understand this." And you guys are patented. ”

Link smiled and said, "It's almost time that the human cell has not been patented, otherwise we will have to pay the patent fee when we need a blood transfusion one day." ”

After a glass of wine, Banker said, "I'm very curious about your oil wells here." Can you show me there?"

"Absolutely. If you're interested in the American cowboy life. Maybe we can go to the border inn not far from the farm for a beer. I think the people there will be very welcoming to a gentleman from England. ”

Banker laughed and said, "Then I have to change into a denim outfit first." ”

The two of them went to the oil wells and went to the border inn. Bank, the gentlemanly cowboy guest, was cheered.

After eating at the Border Inn, he returned to the farm, and Link took him to the hot springs.

The next morning, they went to Fairville Farm. But Banker is expecting wheat production here. Not long after assessing the yield of wheat, they flew to Renault. At the airport, someone from Lin's retail came to pick up Link. Banker, on the other hand, flew straight to Toronto after the plane was slightly overhauled and refueled. There was an old friend of his, and he was going there.

Link, on the other hand, was preparing to go to Lin's Retail for a meeting.

Lin's Retail's plan for the next five years is to be implemented, and although Benedict is the president and has certain options, Link is the boss of Lin's Retail. Of course, he would attend such an important meeting.

Lin's Retail's five-year plan for the future, according to Link's meaning, is to expand as much as possible.

Funding is an issue that must be addressed.

But there's a catch. If there is too much debt, it is not good for the development of Lin's retail. Therefore, in the final planning plan, Benedict proposed to let Lin's retail go public at the right time.

Link agreed.

During the meeting, Benedict informed the company's top management at the level of department managers in all divisions. And the requirements of each department are detailed and assigned.

This plan is more radical than Link's previous ideas. Link just asked Benedict to keep opening branches. Benedict, on the other hand, proposed to expand mainly through acquisitions, and his ambition for scale was also greater than Link's previous proposal. Of course, that would also require more expansion capital.

Link had previously promised to have Ozette Bank lend $5 billion over five years to Lin's Retail. But in this report, if Lin's retail can complete its expansion plan, it is conservatively estimated that it will also need $10 billion.

In this way, it is essential to go public.
