Under the overtime work of the lawyer team of Su Zhen and Lao Archie, in less than three days, all the contracts were listed, and after tens of millions of words from both Archie and Su Zhen, the deal of up to $6.7 billion was completed, but both parties maintained a tacit understanding and did not announce the news to the public, as if it had never happened.

After the transaction was completed, Su Zhen also got busy, and spent a lot of time turning around these ranches and farms, because these ranches and farms have always been managed by professional managers, which saves the trouble of management, otherwise it is not easy to equip these industries with management.

For example, now, Su Zhen took one of the three secretaries, Chen Fara and Mark, to appear in the orchard in Orange County, California. As the name suggests, Orange County is called Orange County because of the abundance of oranges here, and in fact there are at least eight places named Orange County in the United States.

Orange County is located in southern California, next to Los Angeles, and is the second most populous county in California, and it has a large Asian population, accounting for 17% of the total population, which is a large number, with the largest number being Chinese and Korean. Interestingly, although it is close to Los Angeles, unlike Los Angeles, which is the power of the Democratic Party, Orange County is one of the most "Republican" counties in the United States, and the Republican Party here has been overwhelmingly overwhelming the National Party in recent decades.

Because Orange County is very close to Los Angeles, the economy and urbanization are developing rapidly, and now it is no longer possible to see the scene of oranges everywhere more than ten years ago, and only the orchard of Old Archie is still the same, in fact, the entire California area south of Los Angeles, basically except for the mountains, is all urban, basically no farms and pastures.

Old Alqi's orchard is located in a hilly area to the west of Orange County, and it is not a single piece, but a dozen small pieces. Although it is 100,000 acres of orchards, less than half of the actual orchard area is actually mountainous.

The main fruit produced in the orchard is naturally oranges, and the reputation of California sweet oranges is still very big in the world, but it is already late winter, and the orange picking season has long passed, so the orange trees that Su Zhen and Fara see are empty, and basically all the oranges have already been in warehouses and supermarket shelves all over the United States and even abroad.

Of course, it is impossible for this orchard to have only one kind of fruit, oranges, in fact, these dozen orchards are in addition to oranges. Also planted a large number of peaches, pears, pomegranates, avocados (avocados) and other fruits, in addition to oranges the most, is strawberries, the United States is the world's largest strawberry exporter, and the entire United States 88% of the strawberries from California, California's coastal climate is very suitable for the growth of strawberries, there are not only artificially planted strawberries, there are also a lot of wild strawberries in the wilderness, but unfortunately. The strawberries don't ripen until May.

"Why don't you use greenhouse techniques to advance the strawberry season?" Chen Fara sighed regretfully, her favorite thing to eat is strawberries.

"Of course not," says Jack, the manager of the strawberry plantation, "and although the greenhouses can bring the strawberries to market earlier, the strawberries grown that way will taste bad." Strawberries ultimately want to taste, so not only do we not use greenhouses, but even try not to use various pesticides, but use biotechnology to improve the disease resistance of strawberries. This is the best strawberry in the world, but if you want to taste strawberries, there are some frozen strawberries in the cold storage in the orchard. ”

"Frozen strawberries? Last year's? Won't it break? Su Zhen asked curiously.

"Ha Lu Ha. Of course not, you must know that our annual production is huge, of course, it is impossible to sell all of them in just a few months, so a large part of it will be quick-frozen, in the case of minus 35 degrees quick-freezing, strawberries can be stored for 24 months, of course, these strawberries are generally used as non-staple food raw materials, if you eat them directly, there will definitely not be the taste of fresh strawberries," Jack said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's just right, bring some back when you go back" Looking at Chen Fanla's pitiful expectant expression, Su Zhen said with a smile.

"Of course, no problem, in fact, if you want to bring it back to Los Angeles, there is also a warehouse in Los Angeles where you can find all the fruit that is produced here," Jack said with a laugh.

"Yes, that's not bad" Su Zhen nodded, he hadn't paid attention to this, after all, the contract was too long, thick and thick, Su Zhen naturally had no interest in looking at the past one by one, but Zhilu Dao These lands have their own processing plants and companies, and they all have a complete industrial sales chain.

After seeing a few orchards, Su Zhen took Chen and Mark to Irvine City, one of the most Asian-American cities in Orange County, a new city in Southern California, which has only been established for 30 years, but because of its safe living environment, state-of-the-art transportation system, healthy competitive business atmosphere, formal and perfect educational institutions and harmonious lifestyle, Irvine was ranked fifth in the United States as the "best city to live" by American Money Magazine.

Of course, Su Zhen didn't come to Irvine to settle here, in addition to being a good city to live in, it is also a gathering place for many high-tech companies, known as the "California Technology Coast", and the reason why Su Zhen came here is because there is a company that Su Zhen has been fascinated for a long time - Blizzard Entertainment.

That's right, Blizzard's headquarters is located in this city, as a die-hard fan of the interstellar, dark, and Warcraft series games in his previous life, Blizzard is the holy place in Su Zhen's heart, Su Zhen in his previous life is not a hardcore gamer, and the number of games he plays is not much, but the games produced by Blizzard are all he has played and liked. 、

When Su Zhen walked into the hall of Blizzard, he saw that the beautiful front desk lady of Blizzard was staring at the computer intently, Su Zhen and a few people took a look behind her, it turned out that this front desk lady was playing Warcraft III, but Su Zhen, who was an old player of Warcraft III, quickly discovered that this girl was playing Warcraft III was different, and it seemed to be a bit of a shadow of the Frozen Throne?

When this chick finished fighting in one game, Su Zhen let out a light cough, which startled the chick, and then turned around and saw Su Zhen and the three of them.

"Hello sir, I wonder if there is something wrong with you?" The chick saw at a glance that Su Zhen was taking the lead, and as the front desk, she still had this eyesight.

"I am the chairman of Red Maple Investment, I want to see your boss" As soon as Su Zhen finished speaking, Chen Fara children's shoes next to him handed over the business card of Red Maple Investment in a timely manner, because the restructuring of the group has not been fully completed, so Su Zhen is now mainly using the identity of Red Maple Investment, and now for other identities, Su Zhen found that the name of Red Maple Investment is the best in the United States.

Sure enough, this front desk chick is an insightful master, and she still knows a lot about the well-known Red Maple Investment in the IT industry, and after checking the information of the business card a little, she picked up the internal phone and called.

"Mr. Chairman is willing to see you, please come with me" The little girl smiled sweetly at Su Zhen, twisted her plump buttocks and turned around to lead the way in front.

"Doesn't your company prohibit employees from playing games?" On the way, Chen Fara asked curiously, obviously the scene of the girl at the front desk playing the game seriously made her feel a little unbelievable, it turned out that it was not only Su Zhen who was unreliable... If Su Zhenzhi said that this chick's idea would definitely hit her buttocks hard, how could she arrange her boss like this.

"Of course it is not prohibited, our company not only does not prohibit it, but encourages employees to play more games in their leisure time, even if it is a game of other companies, or even employees who don't like to play games, we don't recruit them" Blizzard's front desk girl explained with a smile, Chen Fala's eyes widened in disbelief, although Blizzard is a game company, but this is also a bit exaggerated, right?

Under the leadership of the chick, the three of them came to a reception room, and when they saw the people in the reception room, Su Zhen's eyes lit up, and he took the lead in stepping forward and shaking hands with the opposite "Hello, Alan, it's so nice to be able to meet you" The person sitting in the reception room was none other than the official founder of Blizzard, the former president, the current chairman of the board, and also the designer of Blizzard, Alan Adhan.

"You know me?" Alan was a little surprised, it was not strange that he knew Su Zhen, after all, Su Zhen is also a Hollywood celebrity who often shows his face in major media, but he is different, because Blizzard's tradition is to be low-key, all their energy is used in the development of games, and they are not willing to use the media to hype themselves, so although Blizzard's games are popular all over the world, there is very little understanding of the designers behind them, even as the founder of Allen, there are not many people who know the Tao.

"Of course, I'm a big fan of Blizzard games, so this time, I'll pay homage to the holy place in my heart," Su Zhen said with a smile.

"Wow, that's a great honor, and I love your movies too, especially Pirates of the Caribbean, and honestly that's really cool, I wonder when the second part of Ludao will be released?" Alan said expectantly.

Su Zhen didn't expect Alan to like watching Pirates of the Caribbean, and replied with a smile, "It's soon, it's expected to be released in June this year."

"Ah, that's so good, I can't wait, yes, you're here this time?" Alan asked with a smile.

"Well, what would you do if I said I was here to buy Blizzard?" Su Zhen asked with a smile.

"Ha Luha, come on, you are the big boss of Red Maple Investment, you don't know that we are just a subsidiary of Vivendi, and you have to talk to them if you want to buy the company" Alan waved his hand and smiled, "But to be honest, if you can, I would like you to buy Blizzard from Vivendi, those Gallic chickens don't know what a game is."

"Okay, no kidding, in fact, I was passing through Irvine this time, and I came to visit Blizzard as a gamer, I wonder if you can meet my little request?" Su Zhen said with a smile.

"Of course you can, as long as it doesn't involve some core things, there's nothing you can't see" Alan said with a smile, it just so happens that I'm more idle now, so I'll take you to visit, and got up and prepared to take Su Zhen to visit. (To be continued......)
