George Baker did mean it. He was serious about negotiating with Link.

After two days of negotiations, the parties reached an agreement. Link buys George Baker's three properties in Snake Valley for a total of 54 million. Baker Ranch, Baker Valley Viewing Area and Frontier Lodge. The transaction tax is shared equally between the two parties.

Baker Jr. also introduced to Link four of his farmer friends who were close to Baker's farm, and who were also planning to sell the farm. Link had seen the location of the four farms, which were also within the wind-rich area of Snake Valley, and all agreed to trade with them at a flat price of $280 per acre.

One of George Baker's friends, Stervo Berry, gave Link another piece of news. The owner of Oskeola, an alpine farm to the west of his farm, is having trouble with money and is considering trying to sell the farm.

Link had been in Snake Valley for nearly three days, but he had met the bearded farmer on the recommendation of Stevo Berry. And offered to buy the other party's farm.

The bearded farmer thought he was bidding too low.

Link didn't have time to grind with him, and he had already exceeded his intended goal of coming to Snake Valley by buying more than 200,000 acres of wind-rich land in Snake Valley this time.

He gave John the task of negotiating with Oxola Farm, and he offered a price of $400 per acre for the price of the unit. If this price is not yet successful, then he will give up. That's because the winds are stronger in the mountains, and the condition of this alpine pasture is indeed better than that of the desert pastures in the Snake Valley. The price is a little higher and reasonable.

Link and John take the plane back to Hans's farm, where Bella is already waiting for him. Link called Bella to get her to complete the deal on his behalf with several farmers in Snake Valley.

Explaining the matter to Bella, Link was thinking about something else.

Whether or not Oskoola gets his hands on it, he will consider buying Big Springs.

However, it is not possible to sell state land directly to individuals, even if it is to be sold.

And the land of such a large area in Great Springs, even if it is to be sold, it must be approved by the state legislature, and then auctioned publicly. It may even be split into several pieces.

It's clear that there are no plans to sell that land in Nevada right now. Link doesn't think Nevada will sell that land easily. Today, there are more than 20 family ranches in Snake Valley. Even those family farms rarely go there to graze their cattle anymore. But once sold, maybe those ranches will be opposed.

And he needs to try to make sure that he doesn't have a bad reputation. If his name appears on the lips of the protesters, his already modest reputation may be revered again.

So he needs to convince Nevada to sell that land. And he can't come out directly.

He thought of someone who could convince the state government to sell that land. But this person, if he goes to contact directly, he may not be able to achieve the goal.

So he called Charlie Giovanni: "Hello, Charlie!"

"Hello, Link!" Charlie Giovanni was surprised that Link would call him. After that conversation, they were never in touch again. However, he knew that Link was connected to his father.

He thought to himself, Link had said that he could fund him to participate in politics before, could it be for this purpose this time? But although he has plans to participate in politics now, it is not very urgent. He has a lot more to prepare.

Link smiled into the phone and said, "I invested in a company in California that doesn't have a permanent legal advisor. It occurred to me that you happen to be in California, so I wanted to talk to you. ”

"You've invested in a company in California? Where is California? You know my office in San Francisco, it's too far away, I'm afraid it's hard to juggle. ”

"It's in Sacramento, the capital of California. I guess that's fine. ”

"There's no problem with this distance. But why look for me. There are quite a few law firms in Sacramento. ”

"But I only know you. Link said with a smile. "If you're interested, maybe we can talk. ”

"Of course I am. Where are you? when?"

Becoming a legal advisor to some companies is one of the main incomes of lawyers and firms. Now Link intends to deliver the money to him, and Charlie certainly won't push it out.

Link thought for a moment and said, "I'll contact the person in charge of the company over there first." You wait for me to call. ”

Hung up the call with Charlie and found a number that hadn't been dialed in a while. Now he had a reason to bring that man back.

The phone was connected, and a voice came out of the phone: "Hey, Link." How do you know I'm back?"

Link was pleasantly surprised, "You're back in the U.S.? I thought you're still struggling in the Southern Hemisphere!" and he dialed Jessica's number. Jessica had been wandering around the southern hemisphere before, and she hadn't even returned to the United States for Christmas. He also only spoke to the other party on the phone at Christmas, but he didn't expect her to come back suddenly. "When did you come back?"

"Listen!" Jessica said with a smile.

Then Link heard the airport's radio voice coming from the earpiece: "You're at the airport?"

"Yes. I just got off the plane. Waiting for my luggage. ”

"So are you in Sacramento or somewhere else now?"

"I'm in San Francisco. Although I would also like the plane to land directly in Sacramento, Buenos Aires does not have a course connected to it. So I had to land here first. Jessica's voice seemed to be in a good mood right now.

"Looks like you're having a great time in Argentina!"

"You can't say that, Link. I'm not going to play, I'm going to work. My travel expenses will definitely be reimbursed by the company, don't try to exploit me. You hateful capitalist. ”

"Okay. For my fame. I admit that you don't go to play but work. What's next for you. I mean, are you going to go home right now?"

"Of course, I haven't seen my parents for a long time. ”

"Can you change your plans to stay in San Francisco for one more day?"

Jessica put away her laughter and asked, "What's going on, I have to stay here for a day?" My mom has come to pick me up at the airport. ”

Hearing this, Link muttered for a moment and said, "It's not very important. I would like to hire a service consultant for the company, who happens to be in San Francisco. ”

"You asked me to talk to him? can't you change the day?"

Link pondered for a moment and said, "Of course. So when are you free?"

"Wanted to rest for a few days though. But since the big boss, you gave the order. I'll be free tomorrow. Maybe I'll be free tomorrow. You give me his phone number and I'll contact him. ”

Link smiled and said, "OK." I'll get in touch with him first. ”

"Then I'll wait for your call!" Jessica laughed and hung up.

Link was stunned for a while with his phone, and finally dialed the phone and said, "Help me prepare for the plane." I'm going to Sacramento. It was only two hours after he got off the plane.

"Daddy......" Hannah still slurred, but it didn't prevent her from expressing her dissatisfaction with the fact that she hadn't seen her for three days and was still ignoring herself in a daze.

The little guy tugged at his clothes and held up the white rabbit to ask Link to play with her.

Link woke up, smiled and lifted the little guy up and said, "Hannah, will you go with Daddy?"

Hannah only knows that Daddy is playing with him again, so she also knows what to think about and not to go. She only giggled and grabbed Link's hair.

"Laughing so happily, I'll just assume that you agree. Link put the little thing down and held it to find Ms. Hammer.

"Ms. Hair, I'm going to take little Hannah to California for two days, can you help her pack some luggage?"

"I'm going to get ready!" said Ms. Hemmer with a smile. "Do you need me to come along?"

"Well, no. You should take a vacation for these two days. We're calling you when we get back. ”

Ms. Hemmer nodded and said, "Okay." As she spoke, she went to pack up for Hannah. There are really a lot of luggage to prepare for small things, first of all, milk powder and feeding bottles should be brought, but the feeding bottles have to stay for several times. In order to allow the little one to eat the right temperature of goat milk at any time, it is also necessary to bring a thermostatic container to keep a few bottles of prepared goat milk warm. Also, prepare extra clothes so that the little one can have a change of clothes and diapers at any time after the boo.

Also, bring your little one's favorite toys, including three or four bunny dolls, large and small.

Ms. Hemmer was quick and packed her things up in about twenty minutes.

But Link found that the little thing needed to carry a lot more than he carried. All he needed was a duffel bag, and what little Hannah needed to bring with him was three large duffel bags.

Link smiled wryly and said to Ms. Hammer, "Could this be more?"

"Not much at all. Little children are always used to things that are commonly used. Familiar things will make them feel safe in an unfamiliar environment. Sometimes you can buy new ones out of town, but those may not be what Hannah likes. And that's what Hannah likes. ”

Link is raising a child for the first time, and it is the first time he has heard such a parenting scripture. He just thought it would be a hassle to bring so many things, but hearing Ms. Hemmer say that, he immediately changed his mind. As long as his daughter can live happily, it doesn't matter how troublesome he is.

The little things were a little cowardly when they got in the car, but after they got on the plane, they babbled and danced non-stop. She sat in a special child seat and restlessly leaned on the porthole and looked out, if it weren't for the help of the seat belt, the little guy wouldn't know what was going on.

Fortunately, the little one quickly got tired, and when it was time for her to take a nap, she yawned but couldn't sleep. It's just that this little thing is also smart, and when he can't sleep, he opens his little hand to ask Link to hug him.

When Link saw that the plane was still flying in the sky, he freed her from the children's table and chair and hugged her. The little one fell asleep in his arms.

It was already dark when the plane landed, and little Hannah woke up and was clamoring to eat, so Link took out goat's milk that had been kept warm for her to eat. After checking it, she found that it was time for her to change her diaper, so she had to find another hotel to open a room and stay there.

Hannah, who had changed her diaper, sat comfortably on the couch and ate her bottle, but her eyes watched Link talking to the waiter at the hotel. But after all, she can't understand it now. But she seemed happy to find Daddy.
