Chapter Forty-Nine: Someone Else's Anxiety and His New Goal
Of course, the vast majority of Americans don't know how to use an idiom. But this idiom best describes Jaime Guslet's current condition.
His son Royce's business hasn't been solved yet, and he himself has an accident:
Two years ago, he was dug up by the media for helping his son mitigate the crime, and competitors used the dregs to discredit him.
His son's murder was widely reported, and competitors said that he "didn't sweep the small family, why sweep Nevada", yes, the Americans couldn't say it. But, anyway, that's pretty much it.
He bribed teachers to lower students' ratings, preventing them from going to college. Although there is no conclusive evidence for this, and the teacher flatly denied it, the reporter is not so easy to fool, and many of Link's classmates were interviewed, and in these words, Link is a good person.
Enthusiastic about his classmates, willing to help others, as good as many Chinese children, excellent in sports, and once the main pitcher of the baseball team. But such a classmate missed the university because of the teacher's comments. Among them, even fools will feel bored.
The worst thing is that his own Facebook suddenly uploaded a video. It was a white young man with a wounded face, hiding in a corner and trembling, and said, "That treasure map was given to me by James Guslet." He was the one who asked me to upload it to the Internet and asked me to spread it as much as I could. He gave me $10,000. ”
The video was uploaded in the early hours of last night, so his not-so-professional campaign team didn't find out in time. When they found out, they found that the video had spread across the United States.
It turned out that many Hollywood stars reposted this video, and these stars don't know how many people pay attention. The brokerage team of these stars found out that the number was "stolen" and withdrew the video, but many fans have already downloaded the video.
The so-called treasures of Hans Farm are still boiling all over the United States, and this will appear in such a video. James Guslett's rivals directly stamped him with an indelible label: "Hypocrite!"
This series of blows has wiped out the last glimmer of hope for Guslet. He dropped everything in the office, and his mouth kept spewing American curses: "F*CK......!
He finally knew how helpless it was when Link couldn't go to college, knowing who was making trouble.
For the upper class, it is more uncomfortable for him to lose his current status than to kill him. These events, which have been reported in the media and on the Internet, have hung him on the pillar of shame of moral turpitude. If he can't clear these accusations with strong evidence, let alone run for state legislature, the entire American high society will close the door to him in the future.
He will not be invited to speak at the school, and he will not be invited to a business reception. He will not be invited to attend business events, and even all family gatherings will refuse to invite his family. Because, a scandalous person like him, invited someone who would lower their qualifications.
He couldn't accept that. He knew that everything was Link's doing. But even if he had evidence that Link did it, what could he do? Link was just telling the truth. He became the president of the United States, Link pointed at his nose and scolded, and he did it intelligently in person. Not to mention that now he's almost nothing. Link, on the other hand, is about to rise.
Maybe he can turn around in a few years, but Link may not let him go.
Anxious about someone else, Link took a small plane from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Las Vegas, New Mexico, with a good mood.
Las Vegas, New Mexico, isn't a casino, it's just a small city. The closest city to his destination was Logan, but there was no airport. Even the large city of Tukomkari is not far away, and there is no airport.
John Eco had already negotiated with the owner of Hanova Farm, who had agreed to allow Link to visit the farm in the past. The owner of Hanova Farm had a helicopter fly directly to the airport to pick people up.
After more than an hour of flying, the helicopter landed near the front yard of a house. The helicopter stopped steadily, and Lin Ke drove to a handsome old guy walking towards the helicopter.
He jumped off the ground and walked over to the man.
"Welcome, Mr. Hans. I'm the owner of Hanova Farm, Fed Goodwin. ”
"Hello, Mr. Goodwin. ”
"I'll show you around the farm first. Goodwin didn't invite him into the farm's house.
Link wasn't here for coffee, and he didn't dispute that. Goodwin and he took a helicopter around the farm. The farm is so large that if you drive, Link may not be able to see it all in a day. But in heaven it's different. If you want to get a closer look, let the plane lower altitude. And at a high point, you can see a large area of land at a glance.
I have to say that the pastures of this farm are not very rich. This can be seen in the mountainous terrain to the west of the farm, where the rainfall is either too little or too concentrated.
Although there are woods on the mountain, the trees are quite sparse. The plains have many rivers that have been washed out by the current. But there is not a drop of water in these rivers. Some of the trails directly intersect these rivers, which means that these rivers may not have water for a month a year. Moreover, according to the data, the area of the pond on this farm is still relatively large. But what he saw was that the water storage area was quite small.
It can be said that Hanova Farm has a river running through it, and there are quite a few tributaries, but this river is a seasonal river.
However, the farm does have quite a few wells. The wells are located in the corners of four grazing areas separated by barbed wire.
"With these wells, you don't need drinking water for the herds. Goodwin said.
Link also saw that there was an old-fashioned small wind turbine next to the wells, which was specifically designed to power the pumps. But surface water is scarce, groundwater is abundant, and the farm's water rights are still plentiful – as long as he is willing to spend money.
The helicopter flew around the farm, and Link had a general impression of the farm.
Hanova Farm's surface water rights are not sufficient, but water from wells pumped hundreds of metres underground ensures that the cattle have access to water. However, the farm does not have enough grass to maintain a high breeding density, and some of the ground is even exposed to soil. In addition, the eastern part of the farm is not all flat, and there is a small undulating area in the central part of the north, but it is still suitable for grazing, but the water supply is more troublesome, and the grass cannot grow well.
Of course, the natural conditions of this farm are much better than those of Hanse. The helicopter also found a herd of deer in the mountains west of the farm, so if you buy it, you don't have to worry about having no place to hunt.
The helicopter was in the air for more than an hour, and it was almost out of fuel before returning to the farm's owner's house.
"Mr. Hans, I heard that you also have a large farm on the shores of Lake Mead. I've been to Lake Mead, where we've traveled up the river in small boats to see the grandeur of the Grand Canyon. After Goodwin's butler served his coffee, he didn't ask Link about his senses about the farm, but instead brought up the Lake Mead view. "I know your farm, and it's been on the news lately. ”
Link was not in a hurry to talk about business, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "The Lake Mead Scenic Area is indeed a place worth visiting. As for the so-called treasure, he didn't even mention it.
Goodwin actually wanted to sell the farm sooner.
He was British, a banker. Of course, he only took a part of his father's inheritance, and his shares in the bank were not enough to control it. So he's just one of the bigger shareholders.
He is divorced for the second time and is about to get married. His second wife was an American star, so he came to the United States from Europe. And the future third wife, a half-red and non-black model, hopes to develop in Europe. In the future, he will settle in Europe. And because of the divorce, he needs to pay a huge amount of alimony to his ex-wife, so he has to sell part of the property. And this farm is not on the list of industries he must master.
Although the farm is large, it can only sell four thousand to five thousand cattle per year. The annual income is only about one million, which is not the most important income for him.
He is in dire need of cash and wants to sell the farm as soon as possible, but one of the key points of business negotiations is not to let the other party know that you are in a hurry.
So he honked his horn...... From the United States to Europe to Asia, from finance to politics to fashion, there is no mention of farms.
Link had just seen this farm, and he was actually very inclined to buy it. And if he wants to buy the farms on the north and south sides of this farm, this Hanova farm must be taken. However, he could not show his interest.
But John was a little impatient on the side. He took advantage of the pause in their conversation, and quickly interjected, "Link, Mr. Goodwin, maybe we can talk about the farm now." ”
Goodwin smiled and took a sip of red wine and said, "Of course." So Mr. Hans, what do you think? I mean, you saw the whole farm just now. ”
Link thought for a moment and said, "I have a problem. I'd like to talk to John alone. ”
"Of course, I'll wash my hands first. Goodwin was very gentlemanly and left the living room for a moment.
John waited for him to leave the living room before he whispered, "What did you find?"
"There is so little water in the pond that there is not as much as it is described in the data. ”
"Link, those ponds will be most full in August. ”
"That can be a reason. Isn't it?"
John was stunned for a moment and said, "You want to lower the price?"
"You can give it a try. Link winked at him.
John frowned and said, "I can only try." But what's the low price in your heart?"
"You can press as much as you can. Link said with a smile. "Don't you want to earn a little more commission?"
