"Tim. You have to remember that we don't have any written agreement. Those vines are mine, and I am willing to sell them to whomever others have no right to blame. ”

Tim heard Truss's words, stood up with a "Teng" and said, "Now I have decided to buy your vines." It is all vines. ”

"I'm sorry Tim. I can apologize to you, but I can't sell them to you. I am negotiating with Mr. Hans. ”

"I talked to you first. Tim's speech was so fast that Link could even see his mouth foaming onto Truss's shirt. "You're telling me now that you're talking to somebody else, and if you have to, I'm going to tell all my friends about it. Tell them that Luke Truss is a little man without articulate. ”

Truss seems to be very concerned about Tim's threat. He looked at Link in embarrassment and said, "Mr. Hans, I'm very sorry for this. ”

If it was something else, Link might back down. But he tried to contact many wineries to buy vines, but they were all closed. And now this Tim seems to be planning to plant grapes as well. Listening to what they just said, Tim must have found a lot of friends hoping to buy them. But even though Tim has a lot of friends, no one wants to sell.

And he may be inferior to this Tim in terms of connections. If this opportunity is lost, he does not know when he will find good vines. In particular, the vines seem to be very good. This is the vine that once produced a wine with a score of 98.

So he turned a blind eye to Telles's hints and said: "Mr. Truss. I don't think we can stop when we negotiate just because someone is interrupting. Otherwise, I'll be whining. ”

Tim can say bad things about his circle of friends, but it's the Internet that is the easiest to circulate right now. I think Truss also understands this, and after hearing Link's words, she is in a dilemma.

For a moment, none of the four spoke. After a while, Truss said, "Tim, let's sit down and have a good talk." ”

Tim sat down in a huff and glanced at Link and them, looking at Truss to see what he had to say.

Truss doesn't seem to want to offend both sides: "You ...... half of those grapes"

Before he had finished speaking, Tim jumped up again and said, "No, my farm has twenty acres, and if I buy only half of it, I can only plant five acres, and you want me to go there and find vines?"

"You can cut cuttings with branches. The grapes will be ready for the next year. "Truss helped him think of a solution?

"Nope. I can't accept that it will be a few years before there is a profit. You must sell me all the vines. I'm going to transplant them all, but not enough for ten acres of vineyards, and I'm not going to lose money in the next two years. ”

Truss looked at Link and saw that he had his head down and didn't speak, but he didn't mean to give up. He also seemed to be irritated by Tim and said, "OK. Then I sell to only one person. All vines, sold for only one person. Whoever of you offers the highest price, I will sell to. ”

Tim stretched out an index finger and shook it, sneering, "You actually want to auction? You are taking the opportunity to raise the price! I said that it was 100,000 dollars, and I won't ask for an extra penny." You have to sell it to me. Otherwise, your deeds will be written in a novel. ”

Link didn't look at the two of them, but his ears listened to their words word for word. $100,000 for a vine is not expensive. If it's a good old vine, someone will ask for a hundred dollars each. But these vines are really something outside of the winery's plans. In other words, if no one buys these vines, they are not even as good as garbage. You can also recycle your garbage.

And 100,000 dollars is not a lot of money for him. He looked up and said, "One hundred thousand dollars." This is the highest price I have ever offered. ”

"Luke, I want you to think it through. Tim glared at Link and turned back to Truss in a deep voice.

Truss grimaced and stretched out her hand to Link: "Mr. Hans, happy cooperation." ”

Tim watched the two shake hands, and with a hideous face, he tapped Truss with his finger a few times and said, "OK! He walked away in a huff.

Link: They called a lawyer directly and signed an agreement. According to the agreement, Link was to send someone to remove all the vines within two weeks. Within two weeks, Truss must keep alive the vines that have not yet been removed.

He signed the agreement and then settled the full payment for the vines. He asked Benjamin to stay and hired a few of the winery's workers to help guide the digging, so that the grapes would not be too badly damaged during the digging.

Link looked like a cutting, but he really wanted to plant the stump directly. That's a real vine that's more than 15 years old. Although the number is small for the vineyards he planned. But it's better than nothing.

After the matter was done, he helped Chloe buy a plane ticket, gave him a gift worth more than 10,000 dollars, and then sent him on a plane.

And he himself made a phone call to Douglas, but he was in no hurry to go back. He told Douglas on the phone that Grape Teng had bought it and asked him to find some people to use the seedling bags ready for cuttings. This requires a large number of people and time. Because at least millions of seedling bags must be filled with mixed sludge.

"Now that students are on vacation, maybe you can recruit some middle school students. A seedling bag will give them ten cents. Link said this and suggested again. "If there's something you don't understand, you can contact Kate. ”

After everything is explained. Link plans to stay in San Francisco for a few days. He feared that there would be an accident in the digging of the vines, and planned to wait until things were straightened out before leaving.

However, he did not plan to stay in San Francisco. He asked the bodyguard to rent a car — the one he had rented before for Warren. He and another bodyguard then drove out of San Francisco and headed south along the Great Valley between the Rocky Mountains and the Coast Mountains. The car was driving on Interstate 5. There is a lot of farmland along the road, and a lot of it is planted with fruits and vegetables. There are also many endless vineyards to be found.

Link watched for a while, then closed his eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.

When he was woken up by the bodyguard, he heard the bodyguard say, "Boss, we're here." ”

He saw the sign "G&G Garage" in front of him through the window, and rubbed his face before opening the door. And this is them, the car parked at the door but not driving in, has attracted the attention of the workers inside. One of the workers, covered in dirt, had already walked over. Link got out of the car, and he just approached: "Hey, friend, are you going to fix the car? ”

Link glanced inside the factory and didn't see who he was looking for, so he asked the worker, "I'm looking for Bill Pressley." Is he there?"

"Looking for Bill?" the worker was stunned for a moment. "The car that just drove next to them is a luxury car for them, and this person is looking for Bill?"

"I'm his friend. Coming from Nevada. My name is Link. ”

The worker, too, knew that Bill was from Nevada, and when he heard him say that, he turned around and shouted, "Bill, there's a guy named Link looking for you." ”

Link saw a black-covered man slip under a car, not only with black skin, but also with black overalls.

He glanced at it, and when he saw Link, he grinned, revealing a white spot all over his body except for the whites of his eyes. He said to another worker beside him, "It's ready, and I'll leave it to you." After he finished speaking, he jumped up and trotted over to Link, shouting from afar, "Man, I didn't expect you to come to see me." ”

Link smiled and hurried to meet it.

Bill stood still, but Link reached out and gave him a hug. He exclaimed, "Hey, hey, I can't afford to get your clothes dirty." ”

Link laughed and said, "Now you look like a real black guy." He said as he let him go, saying. "Well done?"

Bill saw that Link's T-shirt was stained with some oil, rolled his eyes and said, "The people in the garage were at least half black when they worked. Blacks will become a point five. He said with a smile. "I'm still a regular worker, and I can fix cars on my own. Of course, the big problem can't be dealt with for the time being. By the way, how did you come to Belizefield?"

Link looked at him and knew he must be very diligent in his work. Maybe soon this buddy of his, he will be able to open his own garage.

He looked at Bill and said, "I'm going to San Francisco to do something." I'll stop by and see you. ”

Bill listened, forgetting that his hands were covered with oil, and reached out to hammer Link's shoulder, saying, "Thank you, thank you for remembering me, man!" Seeing that Link had an extra black handprint on his shoulder, he couldn't help but laugh.

Link didn't care about the stains on his clothes. He laughed and said, "Of course I remember. Of course I remember having a buddy who helped me block the bat. By the way, what time do you get off work? Let's have a bite to eat together and chat by the way. He saw the workers over there pointing at them. He also didn't want to interfere with Bill's work.

"I have about half an hour left from work. Bill pulled out his dirty phone and looked at the time. "You can find a place to sit nearby. I'll call you when I'm off work. ”

Link nodded and said, "OK." See you soon!"

Bill waited for Link to get in the car and leave before turning around and heading back to the garage. He had just entered, and the worker who had been talking to Link just now reached out and put his arms around his neck and said, "Hey, Bill, you never said that Link Hans was your friend!

Link has been on TV, and it is CNN news, even if he is face blind to Huang Chinese, but he has a name, and this worker remembered it as soon as he corresponded.

Bill listened to him with a little sourness, smiled and broke away from his hand and said, "He just passed by." We used to be classmates and had a good relationship. He knew I was working here, so he came to see me. ”

Link is now a billionaire, and he's a friend of Link's. As long as this is the case, it will be easier for him to do anything. But he didn't want to cause trouble for Link. Link had been shot before, he knew about it, and also by phone. So he didn't want to show off his relationship with Link.
