"Are you...... York?"

Link was wondering why the chestnut-haired man had come to pay homage to his birth mother, and it was even more strange to hear the name that hadn't been mentioned in twenty years.

"York" was his English name before he was adopted by the Hanses. At that time, his English name was York Lin, and his Chinese name was Linke.

After the Hans adopted him, they adopted his Chinese name as their first name and then took Hans's surname. After that, he never heard the name "York" mentioned.

"Hello. I'm so sorry. But are you?"

The man took off the sunglasses off his face and said, "Maybe you forgot." I used to be your mom's neighbor, Belvedere Cleveland. I used to take care of you for a day after your mother died. ”

A man in his thirties appeared in Link's mind. He did have some impressions of the man, and he remembered that the man seemed to be his biological mother's suitor.

Tiger saw someone and kept following Link. Link nodded at him, signaling him not to be nervous.

Wait for Tiger to step away.

Link smiled and said, "I remember you, Mr. Cleveland. Thank you for taking care of me in the first place, and thank you for remembering my mother. ”

Belvedere Cleveland said, "I live in New Jersey, and this time I'm back to visit an old friend, and I'll come over to see you when I think of it! ”

Link placed the flower in his hand in front of the tombstone and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you moved when I was six years old!"

"Yes. I remember when you were a kid!" Belvedere Cleveland said, looking at the picture on the tombstone. "Chrissy knows that you have achieved what you are now, so she should be at ease. ”

Hearing him mention his biological mother's name, Link was silent for a moment and said, "Yes." She might be happy. She will definitely be very pleased!" After becoming a father, he can feel the love of parents for their children. Perhaps his birth mother had worried about what would happen if she became an orphan. He must say that he was lucky to have met Mr. and Mrs. Hans.

Belvedere Cleveland wasn't talking. The two of them were silent.

After about twenty minutes, Link was about to leave: "Mr. Cleveland, I'm leaving. ”

"It's time for me to go too!" Cleveland said, nodding. "Long time no see. Let's go for a drink?"

Lin Ke hesitated slightly, nodded and said, "Of course!"

Together, they left the cemetery and went to a bar in Valijo.

The two drank a cocktail in considerable silence. Link broke this embarrassment and said, "Mr. Cleveland, are you here on a business trip or are you here for a vacation?"

"It's a vacation!" Cleveland said with a smile. "Actually, I didn't have long been out of prison!"

Link was stunned and asked, "Why?"

"As you may remember, I used to stay at home a lot!"

"Yes. I remember when my mom didn't have time at work, she would ask you or Barbara to take care of me!"

"You remember that! So I didn't have a serious job before. Cleveland said after taking a sip of his wine. "In fact, I used to be a loan shark. Later, I left Valijo because I found a way to make money, but in '09, I was imprisoned for 20 years for fraud and was released on parole half a year ago. ”

In other words, Cleveland is still a prisoner.

"I'm sorry!"

"Haha, nothing to regret!" Cleveland said with a smile as he raised his glass. "I'm glad to see where you are now. If I had raised Link Hans with someone else for a day, I might have a lot of face. ”

"You did!" Link said, smirking. "So what are you doing now? I mean after you get out of prison. ”

"For the time being the same as before. However, my age no longer allows me to collect debts at home as I used to. ”

Link was silent for a while and said, "Maybe you can live a different life!" After all, he was someone he knew, so he said more.

Cleveland smiled and said, "You're right, I'm trying to find a way to change my life!" he said, finishing the wine in his glass. "Alright, it's time for me to go back. You know, when a person on parole leaves their home, they report it to the police every day. ”

Link nodded and said, "It's a pleasure to see you again!" Mr. Cleveland. ”

Cleveland smiled and said, "I didn't expect to see you here! I work at a casino there. I hope you don't gamble there though. You are the god of gambling, and we dare not entertain you. ”

Link smiled and said, "I don't want to bet anymore." ”

"That was a wise decision!" Cleveland said with his hand outstretched. "Maybe the next time we meet, we'll have a good drink. ”

Link shook his hand. Then the two went their separate ways.

When he got into the car, the car drove through the streets of Valijo. He didn't feel much when he came, but when he saw Cleveland, he suddenly felt that this place seemed familiar, but it was already different.

He didn't plan to stay any longer, and flew back to Mora Manor after arriving at Sacramento Airport in the evening.

Seeing him come back, Jessica, who was watching Hannah draw, stood up with her waist on her back and greeted him.

Link walked over quickly to hold her.

She asked, "Have you gone to your mother? Have you had dinner?"

"Ate it on the plane. "Private airports have companies that specialize in delivering meals by private jets. "Met a former neighbor who came back a little late. ”

Jessica didn't see that he was very interested, so she stopped talking about those things.

However, Hannah didn't understand the mood of adults, she raised her head and stretched out her hand to look: "Daddy!"

Link smiled and picked her up, kissed her left and right on the cheek, and said, "What did Hannah do today?"

"Go to school, come home and talk to your younger siblings, then eat, then draw. ”

"Is your drawing ready?"

"Not yet. I'm going to keep drawing!" Hannah remembered that her painting was not finished yet, and struggled to get off the ground. "I'm going to draw it tonight. ”

Link let her go to the ground and said, "You forgot that you can only paint for an hour tonight, and if you can't finish painting tonight, you can paint again tomorrow." ”

Hannah ran to her easel, leaving one: "Okay." ”

Jessica was not in a good mood when he looked like he had gone to pay homage to his mother. She changed the subject and said, "Dad called me today. ”

Link helped her to sit down on the couch, "What did Florin say?"

"I didn't say anything special, just that you just left the lab. And I told me a few things about the company. ”

"I'll definitely talk to him next time. Don't bother you with business during this time. ”

Jessica glanced at him and said, "You know my dad just wants to talk to me more." But he was not accustomed to saying those things of concern, so he had to talk about business. ”

She suddenly said again, "By the way, I received a courier from Martha today!"

Link nodded and said, "She told me about it. That's the report of the Alaska gold mine that he had asked to investigate. Because there is no electronic version, it can only be sent by courier. "Where did you put it?"

"On the desk in your study. Jessica said with a smile. "In addition to Martha's courier, there is also a delivery from Jisi. Check it out if you have time. Let's see if it works!"

"She's finally done? Have you read it?"

"I looked at it a little bit and personally I think it's above the level. But it's certainly not as good as the story Jonathan sent. Speaking of Jonathan, Jessica said. "By the way, Jonathan they finished their work by noon and have left. ”

Link nodded and said, "I'll call him." ”

He looked at his watch and said, "Does the company have any documents delivered?"

Today he is not there. He had told Anne that if she had urgent documents, she would send them to the manor.

"Nope. ”

Then Link didn't have to go to the study right away.

It wasn't until about ten o'clock that Jessica went to bed that he went to the study to look at the papers sent by Martha.

It was a report on the gold mine investment plan mentioned by Claude Roth, whom he met in New York, along with the documents for the receipt of his yacht.

He first looked through the yacht's receipt documents. The yacht has been driven back while trying at sea. Martha commissioned a special team to carry out the acceptance, and since the acceptance is qualified, it should be no problem. So he just took a brief look. And then just put it aside.

Then he picked up the report of the gold mine expedition.

He didn't believe Claude Ross's words. But the investment in the gold mine is quite attractive to him.

The expedition report is quite thick. The title page indicates that it was made by a geological research institute. This should be more credible.

He spent an hour after taking a closer look. I think that if the results of the investigation are credible, then the gold mine is indeed worth investing in.

The expedition confirmed Claude Roth's ownership of the land at the mine, as well as permits from the federal government and the state of Alaska to mine gold. Geological exploration information provided by Claude Ross is attached.

He had looked at the exploration data and saw that it said that Claude Roth's gold ore reserves were between fifteen million ounces and twenty million ounces.

Such high reserves, according to the current gold price, are worth at least 12 billion US dollars.

The upfront investment in mining requires an investment of $1.2 billion. The proceeds from the sale of gold can then be invested. The expedition report concluded that if the exploration results for this gold deposit were correct. The project will end up with a profit of $6 billion.

The entire gold mine made a profit of six billion dollars. If he takes 50% of the shares, it is equivalent to a profit of three billion.

Of course, a 500-ton gold mine may take twenty or thirty years, or even longer. So the annual income will not be too high.

But that's a pretty good payoff. Especially now that he has money, he doesn't know how to invest it. It is not easy to have an investment that is basically guaranteed to make a steady profit.

In particular, something like gold, which is relatively less affected by the fluctuation of the US dollar, is definitely a very attractive investment solution. But he is still hesitant about making the investment.
