Albert also felt that it would be a bit of a problem to delay the harvest of grapes from Ozette Farms.

He suggested that the grapes over there bear fruit for a little more time, but it was only a temporary thought. Link had more grapes to pick over there, and there were certainly not enough workers around Ozette Farm. If the previously agreed workers can't come, they will definitely have to find another way. By the time Link wants to hire another person, he may not be able to find as many workers.

Still, Link wanted to make a fortune with the wine made from those grapes. As long as it is good for winemaking, he must try to meet the conditions.

He thought for a moment and said, "I try to delay the grape harvest as much as possible. However, the grapes are too ripe, and I am afraid that the time will be even tighter when making wine!"

"I'll bring some extra help. You know, some universities in Italy have a specialization in winemaking. I can take their seniors to Ozette. I think they'll agree. ”

Link laughed when he heard that he thought of such a solution, and said, "That's the best." If you find a student with potential as a good winemaker, you can give them more guidance. Maybe I can train a winemaker who belongs to the winery itself. ”

"Of course, that's no problem. I think those students would have worked harder if they found out. ”

Albert laughs, "You know, not all winemakers get the chance to be trusted in the first place. I think they'll appreciate this opportunity. ”

If it were any other winery, Albert might have worried that his disciples would starve him. But Link here he doesn't have to worry about it at all. No matter how many winemakers Link himself has, he would have no problem making wine from Link's grapes, because Link's farm can't grow grapes all by one or two winemakers.

And he also has this self-confidence that he is the best winemaker in the world.

Link has three farms, and there are many things that still need him to make decisions. He couldn't stay on Hanova's side forever.

A phone call from Jeff calls him back to Hans's farm. Jeff was going to talk to him about the fish farm.

The two went to the farm's ponds, where only a few ponds were left without fish. But maybe next spring we can keep all the remaining ponds fished.

What Jeff is going to say is exactly what I'm going to say about next year's fry production plan and next year's farming plan.

"Based on this year's production, the Hanse fishery could produce 500,000 leaf lip fry. But we don't need that many fry. ”

Link looked at the ponds that were still dry and said, "How many fish can we catch next year?"

"Before winter comes, the first stocked fry can be harvested, about 30 acres of ponds for leaf lipfish and 50 acres of rainbow trout. ”

"I remember you invited the buyer to visit. Are you sure they'll buy it next year? I mean the leaflip fish. ”

Jeff nodded and said, "Pretty sure." Leaf lipfish is a type of salmon, which is quite nutritious and does not taste bad. We have qualified farms and standardized breeding processes. I think they can accept a new breed like this. ”

The biggest problem with the leaf lip fish is that it is the first time in the world that it has been supplied to the market. Whether the market will accept it or not is still unknown.

Although Jeff said that he was sure, he only said that the acquirer was willing to try to buy, but he was not sure about the reaction of the market.

Link nodded and said, "If the sales of the leaf lipfish can go well, we can give up farming rainbow trout." That way, you can digest more leaf-lipped fry. ”

"Hmm. I have one more thought. That is to market the leaf lip fry to the Biological and Marine Authority. Perhaps they would be quite interested in restoring the Colorado watershed's phyllophite resources. ”

"Then do it. Link said with a smile. "I don't think we're going to lose money anyway, are we?"

"Haha. Jeff said with a smile. "Yes, at least the Hans fishery can't afford to lose money. The fry bought by the farms here alone make the Hans Fishery profitable. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "I also plan to sell the leaf lip fish to the whole of the United States." ”

"Need funding?"

"Yes, maybe half a million dollars. And only if the market accepts this new species of fish as an ingredient on their tables. ”

Link wasn't too worried about that. "I remember we took half the size of the leaf lip fish and did a nutritional analysis," he says. ”

"Yes. And it's doing very well. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and contains a variety of essential amino acids. All other indicators are within the safe range. Jeff said with a smile. "I'm in the process of applying for organic food origin certification. I think they'll soon be swimming to a big mall like Wal-Mart. ”

"It's a good idea. I think the farm's farmland should also apply for a certification like that. ”

"Maybe it's not much of a need. The grain you grow on it is mostly used as fodder. Jeff shook his head. "When you do that, the cost increases a lot. ”

Link laughed and said, "Then the grapes should be fine." More and more grapes will be produced in the future. Maybe we can sell some of the grapes directly. Or processed into grape juice. ”

"That's worth it. There are also cattle that you raise can also apply. Jeff thought for a moment and said. "But I don't know much about the certification application for the plantation industry, maybe you can find a lawyer to help you do this. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "I'll let Bella do it." Birla is one of his three personal lawyers and is familiar with agricultural matters.

As he spoke, he walked back.

"Well, she is indeed a suitable person. Jeff took two steps, seemed to hesitate, and said. "Link, if we're going to apply for organic food certification, we may need homemade fish feed. It's like compound feed for your cattle for the winter. ”

Link paused and said, "Are you worried about GMOs?"

"That's right. Although the law says that GMOs are generally safe, families who are willing to spend more money to eat organic must be concerned about the safety of GMO foods. ”

"And what do you think?"

"Buy a small extruded feed production machine. Grow your own main raw materials, such as soybeans and corn. ”

Link had no problem with this, saying, "Then you buy a set and come back." ”

After driving away from the farm with Jeff, Link called Bella Lodbelles. Now he has too many things, if he puts it down, maybe he will forget it in a blink of an eye.

He asked her to prepare the information for the animal husbandry and planting industries of the three farms to apply for organic food origin certification. For Bella, it was business, and that kind of thing was something she was familiar with, so she naturally agreed immediately. Link doesn't have to worry about the rest of the matter.

He didn't expect that he had only been away from Hanova for half a day, and something happened over there. But it's not about winemaking.

Rather, he felt that there was something wrong with the sale of the safest cattle.

Bob looked very angry on the phone: "Link, they even said that the person they came to sign a contract with us is no longer their employee. So they didn't sign a contract with us. ”

Kewen Lin: "They didn't send the contract back before?"

"Henry and Hanova have been working together for seven or eight years. Because the contract is a very important document, it is not safe to post. In the past, he had sent the contract back when he came to transport the first batch of cattle. Bob said angrily. "I called Henry. He didn't answer. ”

Link's heart sank and he asked, "Is there any way to solve it now?"

"The big problem is that all of the big slaughterhouses in New Mexico belong to the **S. ”

"What about the little slaughterhouse?"

"Not a single one, Link. There are now only four large meat processing companies in the United States, and S is the largest of them. I've just contacted three other companies. But they all rejected us because they were too far away. That's an excuse. Bob exclaimed. "I think they want to keep our cattle from selling. ”

Link was silent for a moment and said, "I know about this. ”

"But what about our cattle? It's not a matter of escaping a winter. Rather, beyond time, the beef will become worthless, and we will need to spend more on feed. Bob said frustratedly. "Hell yes. What the hell are they trying to do?"

Link couldn't answer his question. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll figure it out." Do the farm workers know?"

"I don't know yet. ”

"Then don't talk about it for now. Link thought for a moment and said. "You wait for my news. ”

After hanging up, Link asks the same question as Bob: What do they want to do?

Is it because you want Hanova Farm to lose its cattle and make him consider selling his pasture? Is that too naïve? Or is it just the beginning?

Link got up and poured a glass of water, drinking most of it in one go. He walked back and forth in the living room a dozen times when suddenly something occurred to him.

He immediately picked up the phone and dialed Mike's, "You're on the farm?" ”

Mike quickly knocked on the door and came in: "Boss, what's the matter?"

"Did you have any eyebrows about what I asked you to check the day before yesterday?"

"What is certain is that John Malone got on the plane when it was in New York, but there was another person who got on the plane with him. I'm not sure yet that he actually flew to Bell Farm. ”

Link said, "You suspect he got off the plane?"

"Although it is unlikely, it cannot be ruled out. ”

Link frowned and said, "Can you find out who is on the plane with him?"

It was New Mexico Senator Bobby Kentheheaney, who took office two years ago. ”

Link didn't expect him to really find out, thought for a while, and asked, "What did he do before he ran for election?"

He is one of the three leading partners of a law firm in New York. ”

"He's a New Yorker?"

"He was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's a Republican, and I'm only 47 years old this year. At the age of thirty-three, he was elected to parliament in his home constituency. He was elected to the Senate for two years. He is now seeking to run for governor. ”

Link asked again, "Can you find out that he has a relationship with **S?"

"The others don't know. But as a senator from New Mexico, he spearheaded a number of policies in favor of large groups in agriculture, especially in animal husbandry. ”
