(4,000 guaranteed, and after the early hours of the morning, another chapter will be added.) ）

Even though Link and the Brazilian president met, the Hans Foundation's establishment of low-rent apartments in Brazil did not cause much ripple in the United States.

In fact, Link even asked his own media not to over-report it.

The charity he does outside the United States is mainly to make himself a good name in countries outside the United States, and he has no intention of making extraneous achievements in the United States. This has nothing to do with the Americans' impression of him.

Moreover, he is now even worried about taking money out of the United States to do charity, and he will be caught and talked. Therefore, the opening of the Hans low-rent apartment in São Paulo did not cause any waves in the United States. But he added a bargaining chip to his charitable name.

However, this project made his name in Brazil quite famous at once.

The news was covered by the major media outlets in Brazil, especially when they all reported on Link's visit on the spot.

“…… The Hans Foundation plans to set up more than 12 low-cost apartment ...... of the same size within two years"

“…… Each apartment will strive to provide residents with systematic employment guidance and contact companies to provide more job opportunities for residents......"

“…… The Hans Foundation will strengthen its cooperation with Beni Hans to recruit staff from the residents of low-cost apartments as much as possible......"

Those excerpts from Link's answer to the interview, along with the media outlets, have provided employment for at least 30,000 households, and most of them have a stable income and move out of the low-rent apartment and into more comfortable housing.

A senior Brazilian official spoke highly of the project in an interview: "It's a very new and efficient way of doing charity!"

The media also reported on Benihans' investment in Brazil: "The Benihans Group is also a company owned by Link Hans. Its branch headquarters are located in São Paulo. Investment has been made in Brazil in the construction of a large food processing plant, which is said to provide 10,000 jobs. In addition, the Benihans Group has invested in several new farms in the state of Amazonas, covering more than 50,000 acres. These farms are mainly acquired through the purchase of cattle farms that have been deforested, and the Benihans Group plans to replant trees on these cattle farms, while growing pasture in the woodlands for intensive farming. We hope in the afternoon that this will serve as a good example for the restoration of the Amazon plain......"

In the news broadcast on the news, the news anchor was clearly saying good things about Link and the Benehans group. Of course, these good words are not in vain, and the South American Beni Hans company spent a lot of money on public relations to have such an effect.

After Link's show, he went straight to a farm that the Benehans Group had purchased. It was a sugar cane farm in northeastern Brazil with an area of more than 18,000 acres. It was a farm that had been carved out of the forest for less than two years. He had only known about these investments on paper before.

Link felt like he couldn't act uncaring. It's easy to make his subordinates think he's easy to fool.

The destination of this expedition was decided by Link on an ad hoc basis. The farm was chosen because sugar cane was already grown here and a simple laboratory was set up on the farm. Just as he was about to arrive at the farm, Link asked Tiger to get in touch with someone from Benehans. When his small plane reached the farm, he first let the plane hover in the air for two weeks.

Tiger finally said to Link: "The total area is eighteen thousand two hundred acres, and there will definitely be some errors in it. ”

Link nodded. During this inspection, he also wanted to know whether the people on the side of the South American company were hiding and bullying their superiors. Tiger has a device in his hand that can calculate the area of the farm based on several coordinate points. And he could see if the area of sugarcane planted below was similar to what he saw from the documents.

The head of this sugar cane farm is called Marcelo. After receiving the call, he immediately rushed to the airstrip, but Link's plane flew in the sky for two weeks before it came down, and he also waited below for ten minutes.

After the plane landed, Marcelo trotted past.

After Link's exit from the plane, he shook Marcelo's hand and said, "I just saw it in the air, and you guys did a very good job." Sugar cane seems to be growing quite well. ”

Marcelo replied in English with a strong accent: "That's because we have specialized technical guidance." ”

Link asks him to take him around the farm.

The terrain of this farm is not very flat, but this also prevents flooding during the rainy season.

Marcelo drove a jeep with Tiger in the driver, and took Link around the farm.

Marcelo told Link: "This is a new sugarcane variety that the company has researched, and we have done some modifications to the land before planting, and judging from the current growth of sugarcane, our transformation work has been very effective. You can see that ours can produce two more cane than one on other farms. If the fertilizer can keep up, our unit yield can increase by about 20 compared to the farm. ”

Link nodded and said, "Your work has been really fruitful. ”

Marcelo pointed the way and led him to the edge of the farm, across a fence, to another farm. He wanted to prove that he wasn't lying.

Sure enough, Link saw that the cane on the other side of the fence was a little smaller, and the number of cane stalks was smaller.

Marcelo added that Brazil is located in the tropics, so there is plenty of sunlight. Moreover, under the influence of the microclimate in the forest, the temperature at night is also relatively large, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Locally grown sugarcane is conducive to sugar accumulation.

Inspecting the farm, Link is sending a signal that he is not paying any attention to the investment in the branch. So he asked questions as carefully as he could. It's mostly about investing and working.

He even had a small meeting with the farm's technicians to talk about the farm's operations. After this meeting, he didn't find anything wrong with the investment in this farm.

Even if Marcelo and the people in South America were right, the technicians couldn't be like that. And they work on the farm, and they must know something about the farm. Now the technicians are about the same as what he saw in the documents. Then it can basically prove that the South American payroll company did not cheat at least on this project.

Link inspected several projects of South American companies in a row, but found nothing false. After that, he returned to São Paulo for a meeting with the top management of the Nen-South American company and the main researchers of the research institute. Listen to their personal presentations on their business plans for South American companies.

In this way, after four days in South America, he returned to the United States.

On the day of his return to the United States, a news item was broadcast in the United States: "The Brazilian Congress plans to hold its first round of hearings on the introduction of unmanned logistics systems on January 5 next year. ”

According to government officials who did not want to be identified, the hearing was initiated by several states in southeastern Brazil. Some lawmakers believe that the plan will be a good boost to the Brazilian economy. ”

It was only then that the Americans began to report intensively on Link's trip to Brazil: "From this it follows that Link-Hans's meeting with the Brazilian president talked about unmanned logistics systems. And Link Hans seems to have achieved some results. ”

After the news that Brazil was going to introduce an unmanned logistics system spread in the United States, everyone felt that this was a very important message.

At least Joshua Smith felt it was a signal.

It was a strong signal from Link: It is not that he cannot play without the American consortium. He can't play in the United States, but he can play in other countries.

Before, there was only one China, but now there is a Brazil, and I heard that Link has sent people to operate in Europe.

If it is only implemented by a dispensable country, or if it is not implemented by other countries, it will not be able to function. For example, in the current shipping system, if the container system lacks a few large countries, it will not be able to play at all.

However, the role of unmanned logistics systems in foreign trade is far less than the impact on domestic transportation. Especially in countries as large as China and Brazil, unmanned logistics systems can take domestic logistics to the next level.

How important the development of logistics is for a country is clear to the whole world. Without a prosperous country, road transport is poor. The United States built a comprehensive network of highways across the country decades ago.

China's rapid development has always been accompanied by the development of domestic transportation networks.

The expressway is indeed an efficient logistics system, but the current transportation capacity of the expressway, the human factor is still very obvious.

For example, China now restricts long-distance bus drivers to driving for more than four hours in a row, and any country has strict rules on fatigue driving. And even if the driver is iron, it is impossible to work 24 hours a day.

Unmanned logistics systems don't have that problem. The intelligent system does not feel fatigued and can drive continuously for 24 hours as long as necessary. And this system will subtract the driver's labor cost from the cost.

How much can a logistics system with a lower cost and double the driving efficiency reduce the transportation cost of products? Increase the competitiveness of these products? If you calculate this account, we can see that this system is actually a multiplier for highway transportation.

If you think of a country as a computer, the logistics system is an overclocker. The unmanned logistics system is significantly better.

In today's increasingly fierce international competition, if other countries adopt this system, the United States may not care very much, but China uses it, and they cannot remain indifferent. Because China is developing faster, it is quite like the United States is in decline.

Joshua Smith saw through this, so he planned to take the risk of working with Link in advance.

It's just that he wants to get more benefits. It's just that now Link is trying to open up the situation in Brazil, which shows that Link did not fail without leaving the United States.

The American and European consortiums may be tempted to force Link to back down, but it doesn't seem like Link has any intention of making that concession.

The influence of the United States is also not as high as the Americans think. Those countries in Asia are now only using the United States. But when China finally becomes equal to the United States, perhaps the United States will truly "lose Asia".

South America has always been regarded by the United States as its backyard, but those countries in South America may not be willing to accept this reality.

This is evidenced by the revelations from Brazil.

Joshua Smith does not believe that the American consortium knows nothing about the situation on the Brazilian side. Brazil is still planning to hold a hearing, which shows that the American consortium is not absolutely sure that it will stop Link from selling his unmanned logistics system outside the United States.

Now it's Brazil, and it can be other countries in the future.

The unmanned logistics system is Link's private patent, and Link's proposed royalty is $200 per standard ton per year, but if it is a project in which Link is directly involved, the royalty can be reduced to $30. For example, China.

The royalty for this patent has been collected by a small company authorized by Link to set up in China. This is obviously to prevent the American consortium from making a bad move because of this system.

That company is going to be used to cooperate with the Chinese side, and it is a completely independent company. The U.S. may be able to make Link and his family disappear in some special way, but that company is in China. Link they disappeared, that company will only be cheap China. The United States does not want to use that kind of means. Those who covet this system can only hope to force Link to back down through various pressures.

But now, it seems, Link doesn't feel much pressure.

Joshua Smith had just finished a meeting when he heard the news. He thought of a possibility, and with a hint of solemnity on his face, he made a call.

It didn't take long for Kent to come to his office.

"Kent. I think we have to come to an agreement with Link Hans as soon as possible. Our chips didn't seem like a big deal to him at all. ”

Kent, of course, also knew about the situation in Brazil. He nodded and said, "I now understand why Claire Hawke is so tough." "Their biggest bargaining chip is money. Link lacks money in the United States, but not necessarily in other countries.

China's success story has drawn the attention of many developing countries to the fact that there are benefits to be gained from investing in infrastructure. Therefore, as long as it is not a country with economic difficulties, it is possible to use state regulation and control loans to unmanned logistics projects.

Smith nodded and said, "I think so too." Americans may be able to influence outside the United States. But even if only China is adopting his system, he is already invincible, and the success of marketing in any other country is only a greater success. The United States, I'm afraid, is not a necessary market for him. ”

"On top of that, the U.S. clearly needs that kind of system. Kent shook his head. "I've heard that more drivers in the Truckers Association tend to approve of his plan. ”

"His compensation plan is really well done. Smith nodded. "If I were a truck driver, I would be willing to free myself up. Even if the income is lower. ”

"Even American truckers will not object, and now Brazil has revealed the news in advance, perhaps to use the public voice to suppress opponents in parliament. ”

"You forget, Link Hans just showed up his Hans apartment. With the ability to create jobs in low-cost apartments and a reputation in the United States, Brazilians will be more likely to believe in his promises. I don't think that's necessarily without effect among U.S. truckers. ”

"So, Link Hans does one thing after another?" Kent really hadn't thought of before.
