Although Link had a dedicated suite at the Venetian Hotel, the family did not stay at the hotel and went back to Hans Farm for the night.

Hans Farm now has three main outputs.

Needless to say, grapes naturally speaking.

The Hanse Farm has been greatly increased in size by the incorporation of the Ekobe Farm. The number of grapes planted has changed from just one to two. One is the Blue Lagoon, which is suitable for red wine, and the other is a new grape grafted from the so-called Truss No. 1 grape, which is called Blue Lagoon No. 2. Blue Lagoon II is a grape suitable for white wine. White wines such as sparkling wine can be made.

The other output is fresh water. Fresh water is not a big deal, but it gives Link a privileged position in the city of Las Vegas. And because of the economic status of Las Vegas City in Nevada, Link has considerable influence in Nevada.

The third is salmon nursery and freshwater fish farming. Salmon fry, in particular, is mostly sold to Link's Sea Ranch for farming.

But his main focus is naturally on grapes. That brings him the most benefits.

He took Alan to the vineyard on Ekobe's side. Workers pruning grapes.

Many vineyards have reduced the number of workers due to the use of agricultural robots, but the vast majority of work in Link's vineyards is still manual or mechanized.

Link finds Robert and asks about something. He also secretly observes Allen. He brought Alan here to expose Alan to some of his career and see what the kid was interested in. However, he found that although Alan listened carefully, he did not show any special curiosity about wine.

The next day, he flew to Hank's farm with Allen. Take Alan to see the farmland and see the coffee trees that have been planted.

On the hillside, Alan Ka looked at the mountain full of coffee trees and wondered, "Daddy, isn't coffee a tropical plant? I remember the book said that they usually grow in mountain rainforests." ”

"Do you remember that you said yesterday: it's hard to change the environment?"

"I remember!"

"It's hard to change the whole environment because the environment is a whole and it's hard for us to change it, but we can change ourselves to adapt to the environment. These coffee trees are also supposed to grow in tropical rainforest climates. But we changed it, adapted it to other environments, and changed the environment on a small scale, such as irrigation. They'll be able to adapt to life here. ”

Alan nodded, but didn't seem to understand.

Link hadn't thought he'd understand what he meant now.

Link's main purpose for this visit was to see how these farms were doing. These farms are his personal property. The weather may be abnormal this year, so he naturally asked him to discuss with the manager of the farm in advance how to deal with it.

Today's climate anomalies are not necessarily just precipitation anomalies. Based on the experience of previous years, once the precipitation is abnormal, the temperature may also be abnormal.

On the farm's side, it is also necessary to take precautions in advance.

After seeing the coffee tree, he and Alan changed into denim clothes and went to the border inn together. It's kind of a way to give Alan a taste of the countryside here.

In the afternoon, the father and son returned to Las Vegas, then joined Jessica and several other children, and flew directly back to Washington. The children will need to go to school again tomorrow.

After returning to Fox, Link took Isabel to the office the next day. But after work, he took his daughter to Carlisle's office. Claire saw him come up with his daughter in her arms, and said with a smile, "You're a daddy now." ”

"Hello Claire!" Isabel greeted Claire with a milky voice waving her chubby hand. "Do you have any fruit candy for me today?"

"Oh no, Isabel. Today Claire didn't bring Q sugar. Come tomorrow and I'll treat you to another meal, okay?"

The little guy looked disappointed: "Okay." But tomorrow you must remember!"

"Of course, of course I remember!"

After seeing the two of them interacting, one big and one young, Link sat down with his daughter in his arms and said, "What do you think about my proposal?"

Claire shrugged and said, "I'm tempted, but I don't feel like I'm motivated to start my own business. ”

Link asked about what he had told Claire about supporting his business.

Claire now has quite a few assets, but his assets are mainly shares. If you're starting from scratch, it's not that you can't do it on your own, but if you start from scratch, you'll have to go a long way.

Link invests in him, and then cooperates with Link, and the development will definitely be faster.

It's just that Claire said she didn't have that idea.

Link can't do anything about it. If Claire didn't have that motivation herself, it would definitely be no fun. He laughed and said, "That's a shame." I feel like you can start your own financial empire. ”

"I must thank you for your kindness. But I feel like my goal in life is just to become a human being, and now I've reached that goal. ”

Claire has indeed reached that goal. He has at least $15 billion in assets and manages a large banking group, if that's not a good man?

"Hopefully Neil won't turn me down. Link said with a smile and shook his head. "But I want Neil to start a business, and you won't leave Ozette behind. ”

Claire laughed and said, "I don't think he needs me now." You know, he's got Snapton now. ”

When Link heard this, he laughed and said, "You mean, he'll agree to Snapton?"

"You should ask him that question, but that's what I heard him mean. Perhaps you should be prepared to find new managers for both companies at the same time. ”

Naturally, Link will not be worried about this problem. Neil and Snapton would definitely recommend an excellent successor. They also have shares in those two companies. He was sure they wouldn't let it go.

"But the two of them together, I'm afraid they don't need my funds. ”

"I feel like they have a big plan. ”

"Well, I think it's time for me to have a good talk with them. ”

"But you need to have a good talk. If I could, I would like to invest in his business as well. ”

Link talked to Claire for a while, and then walked away with his daughter in his arms.

When he returned to the office, Link took out the toys in the breakout room and let his daughter play in the office by herself. I'm talking to Neil on the phone.

On the phone, Neil really wanted to come out and start his own business. His laughter came over the phone: "I'm tired of being so intrigued with Wall Street right now." Teresa's proposal, I think it's very good. Maybe we can buy businesses, portfolio high-quality assets, and invest in some businesses at the same time. ”

"Do you want to be a venture capitalist?"

"Yes, but not exactly. Venture capital, Teresa has experience, I am also quite good at enterprise data analysis, we plan to acquire companies, and integrate high-quality assets to form our own company. I think we can do that. ”

Link felt that they seemed to be a good fit to be venture capitalists. Snapton, in particular, has been in the industry for a few years.

But Snapton came out and did this, which seems to be a bit repetitive. Link thought for a moment and said, "Neil, you talk to Snapton, how about you investing in Thomas Investments?"

"Invest in Thomasson?" Neil seemed to be thinking.

Link laughs, "I can gradually reduce my stake to 35 percent. You can continue to invest until you hold the other 57%. The rest is employee options. By the way, Claire also said that she hopes to invest in you. ”

Thomas Investments now manages $56 billion in assets. The main assets are Springs Pharmaceuticals and the pharmaceutical distribution network.

Springs Pharmaceuticals is also a very profitable company, and its collagen products are sold all over the world, and now have assets of more than 100 billion dollars, and Tormasson Investment holds only 42% of the shares. Tormasson receives about $2 billion in dividends a year.

Although Link will lose control of Tormasson by reducing his stake in Tormasson. But that would give Thomasson more money and Neal and Snapton a higher starting point. The faster they grow, the more Link will reap the benefits.

"I think it's a very good proposition. You know, Theresa didn't really want to leave Tormasson. Because that's the company named after her grandfather. ”

"I think we can have the best of both worlds. Link said with a smile. "Maybe we can meet and talk. Am I going to New York or are you coming to Fox?"
