Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 108 ATT Also Cuts Salary

Compared to thanking God, Carter feels that he should thank Chris now.

Fortunately, this kid is only five years old now, and he doesn't have enough strength for him to control the gun stably.Taking the scene in the movie where this guy was able to accurately hit the snake's head when he was very young as a reference, Carter has no doubt that if this kid is two years older, he probably won't be able to see the rising sun in front of him.
Facing the rising sun, a group of two vehicles drove into Odessa in western Texas.The conditions of Chris’s family are good. In addition to being an engineer of the Telephone and Telegraph Company, his father, Wayne, is also a deacon of the local Anglican Church, and his mother, Debbie Mercer, is also a teacher of the church.
Honestly, as a non-religious person.This was the first time that Carter knew that apart from praying in church on Sunday, there was also something called "Sunday school".That is, the place where religious education is given to people outside of prayer.Namely, Chris's mother, was a theology teacher.

After learning about Chris' family background, Carter became more convinced that this kid is the future legendary sniper.When I used to watch movies, I often felt that this buddy's mind seemed to be out of order. Those strange "Heart of the Virgin" thoughts have now found their source.

"My God, thank God, you can all come back safely. Mr. Black, I apologize to you again for my son and husband's recklessness, and may God bless you in the future."

"Thank you for your well wishes, Mrs. Kyle!"

Mrs. Kyle, who was awakened by the knock on the door, was frightened and woke up instantly after listening to her husband's account of the incident.As soon as this person wakes up, there will be a lot of politeness.As for little Chris, he had fallen asleep in Carter's arms at this time.
"Okay, Debbie, the guests are already very tired. Please let them rest for a while, and I will ask you to go to the supermarket to buy more meat, vegetables, and wine later, and we will have a meal together at noon."

"That's what it should be! You go and rest. I'll take the child out first, and you can see how the beds are allocated."

There are four people in Kyle's family, and it is indeed difficult to allocate beds.But fortunately, Victor and Oni are not picky. They are all old farmers. What is there to be particular about?
Being able to stay at Kyle's house and save a day's hotel room fee, they are already very satisfied, and they don't care where they sleep.So, after just two minutes, everyone scattered away.

Victor, Levin and his son slept on the sofa in the living room, while Oni and Wayne squeezed on the bed in the master bedroom. Carter, who was holding Chris, was naturally with Chris.

Carrying the little guy to the room on the second floor, Carter gently put the little guy down and covered the quilt.Sitting on the edge of the bed, just as he was about to take off his pants, the door suddenly rang
"Excuse me, Carter. This is two thousand dollars. I know it's not much, but this is the most I can give under the current circumstances."

"Oh, I understand you, Mr. Kyle. Forget about the money, we're bothering you now, and it's our lodging fee."

Hastily pulling up his pants, Carter came to the corridor outside the room and gently closed the door.

If there were no two uncles who came to Kyle's house to stay overnight in order to save money, Carter would accept the money as well.This is the compensation I should get, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.But now he is going to sleep at someone's house again, and he has to eat a big meal at noon, coupled with the attitude expressed by Wayne from the beginning to the end, it really makes Carter a little embarrassed to collect money again, after all, he is not injured.
"No, no, Carter, this is not the case. I welcome you to my house. This is a visit among friends. This money is compensation for you. Please accept it. If you don't mind It’s too little, and I’m already very grateful. We’ve had a severe salary cut now, and in the past few years, anyway, take it, Carter, this is the money you should take, and I’ll feel uneasy if you don’t take it.”

Wayne Kyle's face was a little sad, but he still insisted on stuffing the two thousand dollars in cash into Carter's hand.

"Then I'll accept it. Mr. Kyle, you just said that the salary was cut? Did you... also cut the salary?"

Casually stuffing the cash into his pocket, Carter asked with some differences.American Telephone and Telegraph Company, it seems a bit unfamiliar, so let's change the name: AT&T Corporation
Does this look more familiar?
The United States, and even the world's telecommunications industry, is a well-deserved giant company. Even in this era, it is still a trust-like giant.The status is probably similar to that of China Mobile and China Unicom, even more exaggerated
For such a giant company with a monopoly position, it is reasonable to say that revenue should not be a problem.Why are they all starting to cut their salaries?

"Yeah, I'm okay. My rank is not high, and I'm not one of the top scientists in Bell Labs. My income has only been reduced by about [-]%. They heard that it has been reduced by [-]%. What about you? Or what about Grapevine?"

After sighing lightly, Wayne forced a smile on his face and asked Carter casually.

"I don't know about this, maybe you can ask Oni later. I actually live in Georgia, where I study and work. My grandfather and uncle live in Texas. This time I came back for Christmas. "

"Oh~ So the Douglas you mentioned earlier is the one from Georgia! I thought it was Douglas from Texas. Then, how is the environment in Georgia? According to Oni, if you can recommend people to work in the police station, I think you The local social status is not low, so you should know something about the environment, right?"

Wayne suddenly realized, and while feeling a little funny, he didn't forget to ask Carter about the situation.If the environment in Georgia is good, it is not impossible to move.
"I have a little understanding. The situation in Georgia is not good. Now it is not a matter of the poor economy of any state, but the whole country is going to have a hard time. Long-term inflation has already made this country very weak. When it's time for strong medicine."

Not to mention that the United States has a high rate of duplication of names. Since the last time he found Washington and went to the wrong place, Carter will now carefully study the map every time he travels.This study found that Texas not only has Douglas, but also Atlanta.
Carter didn't blame Wayne for misunderstanding at all. Instead, for the sake of being able to get along with this person, he gave him a thoughtful suggestion:
"If you want me to say it, it is best for Mr. Kyle to stay in Odessa. Even if AT&T cuts the salary, the salary can still be paid. There is no problem in ensuring the basic needs of life. It is too risky to resign at this time. , you still have two children, I strongly advise you not to do this."

"I understand. I'm just inquiring. I won't resign impulsively. Thank you for reminding me."

Wayne Kyle laughed twice, feeling that the time was almost up, and said quickly:

"Okay, it's getting late, so I won't disturb Carter for your rest. Go to bed quickly, and lunch will be later, one o'clock, two o'clock is fine."

"Okay, thank you for your hospitality!"

After bidding farewell to Wayne, Carter returned to Chris's room, lying on Chris's little bed, kicked by the little guy's short legs so hard that he couldn't fall asleep.In other words, it's not that Chris kicked him so hard that he couldn't fall asleep, but that Carter at this moment is full of AT&T in his mind.
The salary cut shows that there is a problem with their revenue.There is a problem with their revenue, does that mean their opportunity is coming?
