Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 1000 Unsuitable Leisure

Munching on a piece of fried chicken?Still roast chicken, Carter turned off the computer.

Carter couldn't figure out how this accounting standard was passed, and under what circumstances did these Japanese people come up with such a rule that even laymen would find it unreliable.

Record the unrealized book income and expected income as actual receipts.
If you understand it from this perspective, if there is no such rule, these accountants will all go to jail.And this, the practice of recording the expected book income as the actual income of the year, made Carter think of another famous or notorious guy: Enron!

Of course, the market valuation method used by Enron in the future may be even more ruthless than this Japanese accounting standard from a certain point of view!The simplest and most popular metaphor for the so-called market value is the total profit obtained from a long-term contract, which is all recorded in one year.

However, this accounting method has not yet been approved.

At this time, Enron was still a relatively honest natural gas company, and Carter had also read its annual financial report.After all, Carter is now one of Enron's shareholders
The current CEO of Enron, Kenneth, who has a close relationship with the Bush family, and even Bush Jr. called him a Kenney boy, is different from himself, who also flirts with the Bush family.
Don't talk about colluding with each other, it is obviously impossible to say that they don't know each other!
On the one hand, there are his relatives and friends, on the other hand, he is the president's father's able-bodied general and a junior junior with a promising future. It is simply unreasonable for Xiao Bu not to match up with each other.Then, it becomes trivial to buy some stocks and exchange some stocks of peripheral assets.

He knew that An Ran was a thief ship, but in front of Xiao Bu, Carter still had to get on board.

At the beginning, he was smiling on the surface, and bought Enron's stock in his heart, but with the passage of time, Carter's mind has gradually changed.
Three years ago, Enron commissioned McKinsey to establish a natural gas forward trading market for it, and officially began to shift from a natural gas industrial company to a financial company.And this also laid the groundwork for future Enron financial fraud cases.

But apart from this, Carter can't deny one thing, that is, Enron's leading position in the US natural gas industry.From natural gas extraction to pipeline transportation, it is used in almost everything!
And the energy business.
"Forget it, no more!"

Carter suddenly lay on his back on the armchair, pulled out the tasteless chicken bone from his mouth, and threw it into the trash can with his backhand.

Holidays, just enjoy the holidays!
What about the bursting of the Japanese bubble, what about Enron's financial fraud, go to hell!
Thinking about myself these years, I have earned a lot of money that I should have made. If I put all my energy into making money, wouldn't I become a slave to money? !

Although making money is addictive!When you make money, after you make money, your whole mind will unconsciously think about any possible money-making issues.But when the time is right, Carter also feels that he should enjoy life!

And when it comes to the enjoyment of life, Japan at this time is obviously not a suitable place for vacation.

Not to mention the frighteningly high consumption, the general environment that seems to be picking up money has also changed the taste of the so-called "Japanese polite service".Be patient, stick to the tradition, and serve customers in the most considerate and polite way, but there are not many stores.

At least, Carter didn't have the patience to find them one by one!
After making a phone call and calling for cleaning to clean the room, Carter embarked on the journey back to the United States.

Compared with Japan, for the same money, the services that can be enjoyed in the United States at this time are completely different!
Landing at Los Angeles International Airport, the business car of the booked resort hotel has been waiting for a long time.He suddenly relaxed and simply had to play. To be honest, it made Carter feel a little uncomfortable.What should I play?

With the last week of vacation left, Carter wasn't thinking about going home, or going to his Beverly Hills mansion.Perhaps only when he thinks of ways to put himself into the mentality of that guy in his previous life, can Carter feel happy and joyful about those fun projects.

In the magnificent hotel lobby, the marble floor is so bright that every lady wearing a skirt can almost cover her skirt in shame and anger.This kind of hotel is already used to Carter now.

Even if Carter deliberately imagined all kinds of past lives in his mind, that kind of happy emotion rarely appeared.After returning to the room to put away the luggage and put on swimming trunks, Carter went downstairs to the outdoor swimming pool.
After a while, Carter was confused
"Hey Rick, where are you now?"

"I'm in Nebraska. What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

This sentence, which seemed to be a normal question at first, suddenly made Carter a little silent.

Could it be that, as a friend, when I call, it must be because I have something to do before I call.
"Nothing, I'm bored now! Well, I'm following your advice and enjoying life, but I don't feel like I'm having much fun. By the way, why did you end up in Nebraska?"

"To see off a comrade-in-arms, when we hit the Torrijos airport, a brother was killed in our first battalion."

Ah this
Carter didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.

By now, the post-war statistics for Just Cause are in.The total number of US military casualties was 23, and there was actually one in Rick's battalion, but Carter knew that no soldiers in Rick's company were killed.Then, the relationship between that unlucky guy and Rick must not be very deep.

Let's say sorry, it seems a bit too much, it seems hypocritical; but the guy complaining is really bad luck
Carter felt that his EQ was not so bad.

"Where are you now? Or, come to me?"

While Carter was thinking about how to answer, Rick's voice sounded again.

"It's not good, I'll go"

"It's okay, the funeral of Second Lieutenant Cap Guzman has been over for some days. He is the only son, and we stay here now, just worried that his parents won't accept it, and he will be a son here!"

"If you don't dislike being humiliated by being someone's son, come here! Anyway, there are quite a lot of sons here, hahaha!"

"This joke is over, Rick. Send me the address! I'll be right there!"

After making a complaint, think about it, maybe in a different environment, it would be more interesting if someone made a fuss together. Carter got up and went upstairs.After changing clothes, drive to Nebraska.

Late that night, Carter met Rick and others at a farm on the outskirts of Lincoln City.

"The major who escorted Cap back, has gone back, and now we are all single guys left. Over there are Sam Guzman and Kalihi Guzman, Cap's parents"

Nebraska in the Midwest is a peaceful agricultural state that Carter had visited as early as his high school trips.From a human point of view, Carter generally feels that Americans in the Midwest are more hospitable and simple.

And this feature is even more vividly reflected in the two middle-aged people.Even though they had just experienced the pain of bereavement, they understood Carter's and others' thoughts, and a slightly sad smile appeared on their faces, welcoming Carter's arrival.

"The room is ready. It's in the second room upstairs. Karp used to say when he was a kid that he hoped we would give him a younger brother and sister, so he would have someone to play with. That room was where we made it for Karp. Prepared by Pu's playmates"
