Since Song Xianhe wanted to continue living in Fox, Link bought a piece of land not far south of Fox and planned to build a factory.

Hearing that it was a factory that could absorb more than 1,000 employees, the Fox administration showed great welcome to his factory.

He felt that the only advantage of building a factory in Fox was that the land was cheap. However, it will be more troublesome to recruit workers in the future.

Fox has a population of just over 4,000, and it will be difficult to meet the needs of the factories unless all the working population enters the factory. And the communities within a twenty-mile radius of Fox are also very small.

However, that kind of problem is not difficult to solve. The unemployment rate in the United States is not low right now. Moving for work is a common occurrence for Americans.

The land Link bought was just south of Fox Town, three or four miles from Fox Airport. This is a forest area, but it has been cut down before, and no one has replanted it.

He and Song Xianhe went to this shrub-covered wasteland and said, "From the side of the road to the river, there are twenty acres in total. I think it's enough to build a factory. ”

"Big enough. Recently, Song Xianhe has been thinking about how to make the machine-made noodles have the same taste as handmade. In the future, the production line of the factory should be designed according to his ideas. He referred to some other production line processes. He probably had a bottom on what kind of machinery was needed for the entire production line.

"I don't think we will have too many people in our company at first," he laughs. Such a large factory can meet the needs of at least two years. ”

Link is also uncertain for the time being, how many people will join. But he plans to spread it to all communities in the U.S. with populations of more than 500. But as Song Xianhe said, he needs to take his time.

But it's too early to tell. He laughed and said, "I don't know how many people will join. But I know you've been busy for the last six months. You have to take care of the factory, including the design and manufacture of the production line, as well as the training of workers. You're going to have to do it all in half a year. ”

"I think I can hire two helpers. You won't object, will you? ”

"Of course. You do need an assistant. You can just take care of it yourself! But I will let someone take care of the finances for this half year. He paused and said. "I hope you understand. ”

"Of course, that's the way it should be. With tens of millions of dollars in front of him, Song Xianhe was not sure if he could keep the bottom line and not stretch out his hand.

"If there are no problems with our application for the establishment of a company limited by shares, it will probably be approved in two days. The rest is up to you. "This collaboration, in addition to finances, Link intends to let go completely.

"I'll take care of it. ”

Link smiled and said, "So are you free next Wednesday?"

"What's the matter?"

"Next Wednesday is Hannah's birthday. She said she was going to invite Stephen to her home. Of course, there are a few friends in town who are good friends with her. ”

"Really? I think we're free. ”

Anyway, Hannah was making her own invitations. I'm going to send it to Stephen then. ”

"I'll tell Stephen in advance. That kid talks about playing with Hannah every day!"

After Link and Song Xian separated, they went straight back to Mora Manor. In the living room, he saw Hannah lying on the floor scribbling with a pencil.

He leaned over to look, and Hannah looked up and grinned at him, then began to draw intently.

The girl carefully drew a crooked figure on a completely blank greeting card. Seeing that she drew a little carefully, she felt that it was not good, and clumsily took the eraser and erased part of it even after she had drawn it before. But this girl was not discouraged, and followed the previous traces to redraw the crooked strokes.

He looked at it for a long time, and finally realized that she was drawing a little girl, and there was a round lump behind her. The little girl opened her hand to pick up the other child.

He looked at it for a long time, and the little girl folded the card with relief.

He smiled and asked, "Is this the invitation Hannah made?"

"Uh-huh! for Stephen. Hannah is happy that she has finally completed a project. She knelt and unfolded the "invitation". "Daddy will send it to him with Hannah, right?"

Link saw two "figures" with only one big head and a few lines, but one with long hair and one with short hair, and he could probably tell that one was a boy and the other was a girl. Although the facial features of the two heads are crooked, it can be seen that this girl has mastered some of the cartoon drawing techniques taught to her by Jessica two days ago.

But he pointed to the card and said, "I know what Hannah is drawing." But Stephen didn't understand. So what to do?"

Jessica exclaimed, "He understands!" she said, pointing to what she had drawn. "Here's Hannah, here's cake, here's Stephen. Hannah has a cake at home, and for his birthday, Hannah welcomes him to eat cake with him. ”

Link stopped teasing her, and said with a smile, "Then Hannah will have to explain it to him then." ”

"Hmm. I'm going to talk to him, I'm going to treat Pete to cake, and Kath, and Jim......" She said seven or eight in one breath. "It's so good that the invitation hasn't been drawn yet!"

"Then Hannah drew slowly. When the painting was finished, I accompanied Hannah to send it to someone. ”

Hannah laughed out loud and said, "Good!"

The little guy's birthday, he didn't plan to invite too many people. He didn't plan to invite his friends. He thought about inviting his family to come. It's just that Cox is in college in the East, and Alice has to take classes. Barbara and Jeff were inconvenient to come. So this Hannah's birthday is probably spent with him and Jessica.

If she could have a few friends to play with, Hannah would have a happy birthday too.

However, he didn't expect Hannah to draw these invitations for a few days. It's not that she's slow. In fact, when she finished her first one, she was much faster.

But she soon became dissatisfied with what she had drawn. So I re-painted.

Three days later, the invitation she drew had changed from a previous line person to a person with complete body, hands and feet. And the facial features are somewhat decent.

Especially herself. Perhaps because she had to draw herself once for every invitation, she was very skilled at her own portraits. A round smiling face, but she has a look or two of her own.

Jessica saw what she had drawn and said to Link proudly, "Look, I taught a little painter!"

Link looked at his daughter, who didn't even hold the pen very tightly, and said with a smile: "That's because she learns things quickly." He said as he took the pencil from Hannah's hand and said. Hannah took a break. I'll draw when I'm free in the evening. ”

Hannah shook her hand and sighed, "Alas, I'm so tired!"

Link pinched her little nose and said, "So it's time to rest." ”

He said to Jessica, "I'm going to Las Vegas tomorrow." Are you going to go along?"

"I'm not going. Why don't you bring Hannah with you?"

Hannah's birthday, Jeff and Barbara have decided not to go. They were feeling sorry for the fact that before that, Link brought Hannah back.

Barbara hugged Hannah and said to Link, "This time I'm back because of the well?"

Link nodded and said, "Yes." "At the newly drilled *** at Hans Farm, there are already three mouths of water. The amount of water is said to be large. He needs to go and see.

Jeff laughed and said, "That's a good thing! At least Nevada won't decline because of this." ”

His concerns were real. If Las Vegas falls because of water shortages, the whole of Nevada will also fall. Other states may not feel like much, but for Nevada, Las Vegas is more important than any other city in the country.

Because without Las Vegas revenue, Nevada may change its tax policy, which is in the vital interest of the entire Nevada community.

Link wasn't sure if Hans's farm would have enough water for Las Vegas. If enough, his relationship with Las Vegas and the whole of Nevada will become very close. In Nevada, his status is not necessarily worse than that of the governor.

But it's not clear whether he'll be able to do that.

"My concern is that there is not enough water. ”

"For every extra gallon of water in Las Vegas, there is a benefit. Jeff, however, thinks that no matter how much water Hans Farm comes out, as long as it can supply water to Las Vegas, that's a good thing. "Don't say anything else. It's just the money from the sale of water. You'll get a lot of benefits. ”

Link smiled and said, "Maybe." I'm going to look at the wells first. ”

Speaking of which, his good fortune is truly reflected.

There are so many wells drilled in the rest of Nevada, and there is no water. And the wells he drilled on several farms are worth a fortune. I don't know if it was because he was so lucky that the groundwater appeared wherever he bought it, or because he was lucky enough to buy the land right above the water layer.

But anyway. It's all his luck. He earned it anyway.

He drove back to Hans's farm and went straight to the drilling area. From a distance, he could see several jets of water spewing out of the old height. At first glance, he felt that the water columns seemed to be about the same height as the first well had erupted.

He had received a call saying that he had drilled three artesian wells, none of which were less watery than his previous one. He thought it was too optimistic. But now it seems that that is really the case. It seems that the water in the ground is not small, but the pressure is relatively low.

He got out of the car, and Sinclair walked briskly at him. Seeing his smiling eyes, he couldn't open them, and Link also greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Mayor, congratulations!"

"Yes, yes. This is indeed a great joy. Sinclair laughed. "You know what? Link, the newly drilled three-caliber has a total flow of over fifteen million gallons per day. ”

As he spoke, there was a burst of exclamations and cheers from the drilling area: "Another bite of drilling!"

When Sinclair heard this, he ignored Link, turned around and wanted to run over there. But he hasn't run yet. The water column rushing out of the ground hit the steel frame of the drilling well, and countless splashes were scattered, shining brightly in the sun.

Link watched from afar, but he was keeping an eye out for the wells that were coming out.

He found that the wells that had come out were not concentrated in one place. There are also several wells that are still being drilled and are surrounded by water columns. That is, those wells are also highly likely to be above the aquifer.

That shows that the extent of the aquifer at Hans Farm is not small. This is a great thing for him.

If Hans Farm could provide enough water for Las Vegas, he could earn tens of millions of dollars a year sitting down. And, he would be one of the most indispensable people in Las Vegas.
