Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 134 Transportation Demand and Appearance
"Compared to McDonald's, it is true that the taste of tortillas is inferior to that of bread slices. But our choices are also more abundant than McDonald's, aren't we?"

"If you like to eat tomatoes, then add tomatoes; if you like to eat potatoes, then add potatoes! We can even add pineapples, and the sauce can be changed at will!"

"These rich choices can completely cover up the lack of corn tortillas! Moreover, they will not be as easy to get bored as the fixed collocations of McDonald's!"

"How can such a restaurant have bad business?!"

Following Tri Farley's train of thought, Carter seemed to make sense after thinking about it.

Of course, in theory, the 36 cents that your own restaurant is cheaper than McDonald's is basically impossible in reality.This is the same as the options when buying a car in the future. The price of the basic model can theoretically meet the needs of users.But when you look at that plethora of options, can anyone really be completely sane?
When buying a car, you may think, hey, I spent two to three hundred thousand yuan, and I don’t care about the extra ten thousand to twenty thousand.In the same way, when buying homemade burritos, 1.24 and 1.35 dollars are spent, and the remaining few cents can be added, so just add some
After going back and forth, Carter suddenly realized that the final profit calculation of this restaurant may be higher than he estimated.But even so, the actual price difference of 15 or 20 cents is still achievable.

Doesn't seem like much, so go ahead and settle the score!

One person, one meal, save 15 cents.For a family of four, you can save 60 cents on a meal.Eat their own burritos twice a day, and you can save $1.2 on food expenses that day!

That's $36 a month! !You know, the monthly salary of 600 US dollars this year is a very good income. $36, already more than 5% of a middle-class monthly income!

This saves a lot, and, as Tri Farley said, the burrito has more choices than the McDonald's burger with fixed content!Not so easy to get bored!

"I understand! I'll contact a stable supplier when I get back!"

With this in mind, Carter no longer hesitated.Immediately promised to Tri Farley.

"Hmm~ By the way, there are also employee recruitment, and... the Chicken Killing Center!"

···
···
The recruitment of employees is naturally easy to say. In the situation where Douglas has just added 600 unemployed households, it took less than two hours to recruit 30 people.In addition, the broiler processing center, nicknamed "Chicken Killing Center", is also easy to deal with.

As a large landowner along Highway 23, Carter has no shortage of land.And the water and electricity pipelines also stretched 20 kilometers. As long as you find an open space within the range from the urban area to the commercial area, build a small courtyard on it, complete a few small bungalows, and then connect the water and electricity to it. cost.

As for the mechanical equipment, this will be discussed later, but for now, manual labor is completely sufficient.For the extra people at the restaurant, transfer 20 people over, and recruit [-] new people, so as to gather [-] "butchers", the "broiler chicken killer" is not difficult at all.

As for the supply of beef, we can only contact Victor in Texas.
"Beef? We do have some farms here, and the scale is not bad. Last time you saw Grace and his family have a farm with more than [-] Angus cattle. If you need a lot of beef, I will I can help you contact him and ask."

"Okay, please leave those to Uncle Victor. By the way, there is also a beef processing plant. If there is one near Grapevine, please inquire for me. After the local processing is done, the finished meat will be shipped over. Hiss , I seem to have to find a transportation company."

Carter, who was complacent about supplying and handling broiler chickens, suddenly found that this seemingly simple business was not so easy.

From Texas to Georgia, the relatively short journey is more than [-] kilometers.It takes at least one day for the beef to be processed from the processing plant, loaded and transported, and arrive at my place.In other words, this transport vehicle must also be transported in a cold chain.

I heard that the cost of cold chain transportation is not small.
"Get a transportation company? It's not necessary, you can ask a transportation company to help transport it! There are still quite a few transportation companies in Texas that have insulated vehicles that can transport beef."

"Well, please help me find out their quotations. What I think is that if the demand for beef is large in the future, the transportation business will be outsourced, and the cost will be relatively high. But now, there is really no need to worry."

After thanking his uncle with a smile, Carter concentrated on the transportation issue.

When Carter proposed to form a transportation company just now, he did not think of the cold chain transportation link at the beginning.What can a shipping company bring without considering cold chain transportation?
In addition to reducing the transportation cost of food raw materials, after the bank expands outwards, it can also afford the task of fund transportation!As banks expand outward, the need to transfer money, to be precise banknotes, will inevitably be on the agenda.

In this era, there are not no dedicated cash transport vehicles and escort companies.But their business can't reach Douglas at all. These days, cash transport vehicles basically only appear in big cities.Supply currency to some ATMs.

The cash transport vehicles that appear outside the city are generally vehicles that help the Federal Reserve Bank transfer large amounts of funds. That's how it's usually done in GTA.
The cash transport vehicles of these companies are quite limited, and it is impossible to send a special vehicle for your big money flow.In other words, it is possible to send them here, as long as the money is in place, there is nothing that cannot be done in the United States.

But the cost of transferring funds would be too high. It's better to set up a company by yourself, and then buy a cash truck to run back and forth.Since cash transport vehicles are needed, so is the escort company, so it seems logical to let the escort company do a part-time job and buy some ordinary trucks to help transport raw materials~
emmm, or let the ordinary shipping company.Add a cash transport qualification, and then let them work part-time to help you deliver Mane.
"Boom boom boom!"

Just as Carter was thinking, there was a knock on the office door.Goodman, whose hair was more glossy than usual, leaned out from behind the door:

"It's almost time, we can start! It will take two hours to get to Macon!"

"Okay, do you think I can do this?"

He got up and adjusted his suit and tightened his tie.Since there were no mirrors in the office, Carter asked Goodman if he was properly dressed.

"It's okay, generally no problem. It's better to tighten the tie. Your tie is a bit long. If the hem is exposed from the gap in the coat, it will be very cheap!"

Helped Carter reorganize his dress and adjusted the position of the tie.Goodman took out a pair of plain mirrors from his pocket and handed them to Carter:

"You still look a little immature, so I prepared this for you. Wearing this antique-like plain mirror will make you look more mature and stable."

"This is your first appearance in front of your peers, try not to leave an image of you as unreliable."
