Seeing that Jessica, who was already pregnant, had personally sent Hannah to her, Alyssa knew she had something to say to herself. However, she just thought that it might be that Hannah had something to ask for time off, or that she wanted to talk to herself about teaching Hannah.

She taught Hannah a few strokes and let her practice them on her own before she sat down and asked Jessica what she meant: "Jessica, I think you probably have something to say to me." ”

"Yes, Alice. Link and I plan to hold drawing competitions for kids and teens across the United States. In the form of a preliminary and final round in age groups, each state travels to Fox from the top two winners of each age group to compete in the finals. ”

"That's a good thing. This will allow more children to have the opportunity to show their drawing talents. Is there anything I need to do about it?"

"You know, we need professional judges in the finals. Link and I, we hope to have you as the chair of the judges for the finals. Artists from the United States and other countries will be invited as judges. ”

Alyssa felt that it would not take up much of her time, and that such a thing would be of great benefit to her own fame in the United States, and he smiled and said, "I'm very honored!" She didn't have an agent, so she could decide on her own.

"Thank you for accepting our invitation. In addition, we plan to organize a three-week to four-week summer camp where some of the winners of the 11-year-old category in the finals and one or two outstanding young artists from some states will be invited to participate. We hope to invite some painters from various countries to mentor them. We cordially invite you to become the camp leader of this summer camp. Of course, you know, Link and I don't know many artists, and we think that you know a lot of famous painters, and we hope you can recommend some for us. ”

Hearing that it would take three to four weeks, Alyssa hesitated for a moment and said, "Three weeks to four weeks is too long." Jessica, I need time to think about it. Of course, I can recommend some painters who are not very famous, but have a good level of painting. ”

"Then I'll wait for your good news. Jessica hadn't thought she would agree all at once. A couple of weeks is a bit too long. It will disrupt a lot of plans.

She said and pulled out a copy of the text and said, "This is Link's contract for you." These include remuneration as a chairperson, as well as as as a summer camp leader. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can always mention it to me. ”

When I saw the line below the cover of the text, I couldn't help but smile: "Hannah National Children's and Youth Drawing Competition." It's a good name! I'll take a look at it when I have time. ”

Jessica smiled and said, "In the eyes of Link and me, Hannah is worth everything!"

"Yes, Hannah is indeed a sweet and intelligent child. I also like her very much. I think she would be a great master of painting. ”

Jessica said "thank you" and said with a smile, "Link and I have found that after receiving your teaching, Hannah's painting level has really improved rapidly. And her level of understanding and appreciation of painting, I can't compare to her. God, she's only three and a half years old. I was worried that after the age of five, she would not bother to talk to me about painting. ”

Alyssa couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're exaggerating! I don't think Hannah would be like that." But Hannah's talent for drawing is indeed the tallest child I've ever seen, and the most rare thing is that she is very focused when drawing. You can express what you want to express on paper. That's pretty remarkable at her age!"

Jessica secretly expressed a few words of thanks and appreciation to Alyssa in her words, and then offered to take a walk outside without disturbing her teaching.

But she didn't just take a walk after leaving Alyssa's cabin, she said to the bodyguard who was dedicated to protecting her, "Tim, my phone. She is pregnant, and she is worried that the radiation of her mobile phone will not be good for the fetus, so now she has her mobile phone in the hands of people around her.

After she took her mobile phone, she dialed the office number of her secretary Anne: "Anne, help me with Mayor Camp, just say that I have something I want to talk to him about." ”

Link won't let her go to work. She didn't dare to work too hard with her two children, but there were some things she could do for Link.

Since those games are going to be on Fox as the final venue, it must be communicated with Fox. With Fox's official approval, it would have been much easier for them to bid for that kind of competition.

By this time, Link had already arrived in Sacramento.

He got off the plane and went straight to the lab. Florin already knew that he would be coming around this time, and people were already waiting for him in the office.

"Florin, I'd like to take a look at the lab. Link said straight to the point. "I wanted to know what was needed in the lab. ”

Florin didn't refuse, took him to change into a lab coat first, and asked him, "Do you want to go to that lab first?"

"Can I go to the radiology lab?"

Florin led him upstairs to a laboratory that was clearly much more protective than it was protected. "We need to wear protective clothing. You know, even though the lab is separated by lead plates, there is a possibility of leaks. ”

Florin entered the code in front of the door of the lab, and the automatic door opened. Inside is a small room with several systems to operate the equipment in a radiology room next door. There are three experimenters working on it.

These suits are used by special people, and each set has a name on the chest and back. And Link didn't wear this set, the person was tightly wrapped in protective clothing, and others didn't know who he was at all.

So, Florin had to introduce to the others: "This is Link. He wondered what else needed to be strengthened in the lab. ”

Link saw the name on one of the short men's hazmat suits, which he also knew. He stepped forward and shook his hand, and said, "I hope it doesn't disturb your work, Mr. Macon." "The scientists in his lab have almost no titles. They were all former professors, but not anymore.

"Of course not. The first phase of our workflow has been completed and we are now just monitoring the experiments within the lab. Welcome to our lab, Link. ”

"I heard Florin say on the phone, and the equipment in the radiology lab is strained right now. Do you think so too?"

"That's true. Nowadays, almost all research projects require the use of radiological experiments. We need to postpone our experiments by two to three days. But that's what happens to a lot of labs. Sometimes it's even longer. ”

Link listened to him and said that although the equipment was tight, it was actually sufficient. But Link felt that the delay was not enough. He asked, "Are the radioactive experiments now mainly for those newly developed seeds?"

Macon's voice passed through the mask, and the urn said, "Yes, it is now underway to produce high-yielding alfalfa seeds." The project team hopes to obtain more productive, photosynthetically efficient seeds. According to the experimental protocol, we irradiated different experimental groups with different durations, different rays, different bands, and of course, different doses of rays. ”

When Link heard that the experiment was a forage experiment, he asked, "Have you finished the experiment on the seeds of grain?"

"It's not done, in fact, half of the experiments we're sorting are all food seed experiments. They need more diverse experimental groups. ”

Florin then explained to Link: "We need to pick out the seeds that are more stable in shape and have higher yields. And projects that have identified seed templates need to figure out how to limit the number of generations with stable shapes. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "So you mean that as long as we experiment with more experimental groups at the same time in the same amount of time, it will allow us to determine what we want faster?"

"That's the case in theory. However, the demand for such experiments is only short-term, and if investment is increased, these experimental equipment may soon be surplus. ”

Link laughed and said, "I've heard that there are the most diverse types of microorganisms in the world. ”

"That's true. ”

"Then why should we worry about the laboratory equipment being idle?"

Although Benehans now also studies seeds, its more important research is the study of microorganisms.

"You mean, you're going to continue to invest more in experimental research in the future?"

Link affirmed to his future father-in-law: "Florin, I know very well that a company that loses its sense of innovation can easily fail. Biotechnology may not be the most mainstream research direction in the future, but it is certainly indispensable. The more research you do, the more profitable the company will be, so why should I refuse to invest?"

Flolin's fear that Link will reduce his research investment in the future is mainly because Link asked him to set up a project review team last time. That gave him the wrong signal: Link wanted to scale back his research projects because he was worried that too many research projects would take up too much of the company's funds.

But now that Link was telling him that, he felt as if he had misunderstood.

Link didn't know what was going on in his mind, and asked Macon, "Mr. Macon, how much do you think we need to invest in to get our experiments to be delayed?"

"Delays are definitely there. We can only minimize the time of delays. If we add the same set of experimental equipment, our laboratory can meet the needs for a longer time. "Actually, now we only need to send a team for two days, which is not a long delay. Be aware that some experiments may have to wait a month or two before applying to the lab. Of course, these are very demanding experimental conditions, and sometimes there is only one laboratory in the whole country that meets the standards. Of course, it will take a long time to wait.

Link's idea is actually quite simple. Now he can rely only on existing researchers. When Benehans develops in the future, this laboratory may even have to become independent. He could use the money to smash it into the most advanced microbial laboratory in the United States and the world.

But he can use money to smash the hardware out, and in order to attract the top people, in addition to money, he also needs the hardware conditions of the laboratory.

So he won't worry that the money he is investing now will be superfluous.
