Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 157 No one likes to move frequently

"Mr. Blake, look! In both plans, the location of the processing plant I am currently identifying is fixed. The meat processing plant I plan to put it in Memphis, Tennessee, and the corn processing plant is located in Kay, Illinois." Near En County."

"Beef cattle near Cedar Mountain, Texas, are transported to the processing plant in Memphis, about 717 kilometers one way; broiler chickens from Douglas and Fitzgerald, Georgia, are transported to Memphis, about 680 kilometers one way."

"From the current point of view, it is not as convenient as Mississippi. But on the one hand, I consider the supply of eggs, it will be more convenient there, and for the future, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri near Memphis. It is a very important agricultural and animal husbandry production area. The factory is built here. In the expansion stage, there is no need to build a branch factory or relocate the whole. It can be directly expanded on the basis of the existing factory.”

Listening to Montgomery talking, Carter has no objection.Mississippi is sandwiched between Georgia and Texas, as Montgomery said, convenient now, troublesome later.The location is too far south, and the state's own infrastructure is not very good, which will have a great impact on future supply.

But Memphis is different. As the largest city in Tennessee, not only is it close to several major raw material production areas, Memphis, located in the central part of the United States, is generally more convenient for land or air transportation.Just choose here, in terms of transportation, you have to rely heavily on air transportation
And
"Mr. Genus, from your point of view, you plan to use Memphis as the center of the supply chain in the future and radiate outward, right? This idea is fine, but I am more concerned about one issue now, which is the outflow of people."

Carter smiled wryly, and after distributing a cigarette to Montgomery, he directly told the inside story:

"Looking at the old people in my hometown, the current situation, in terms of employees, I will definitely use a lot of Georgians. The problem is not bad when the store expands, especially now that the first batch of targets are big cities. They only rely on the work income of the store , it is not realistic to want to move to those cities. Moreover, the catering industry is also relatively mobile. Now we use full-time employees, and in the future, it will gradually become the same as McDonald's, with full-time employees as the backbone and part-time workers. of."

"But the processing center is different. This is a fixed factory. On the one hand, it can gather a large number of people. On the other hand, the housing prices in Tennessee are definitely lower than those in the metropolis. Suppose I send [-] workers to the processing center, Maybe in the next few years, when they have some extra money in their hands, and the economic situation improves a little bit, it is likely that they will not come back."

"Personally, I don't really care if they can't go out, but the city government does. Especially under the premise that they can't use administrative orders to stop population migration, if residents migrate seriously, this is not good news for them. Three hundred workers may take away three hundred families, and thousands of people will be lost! You also understand the background of the establishment of HT Company. In this regard, I have to consider the situation in Pearson City more or less."

"Do you have any thoughts on this matter?"

The issue of population migration is a sensitive topic in the United States.From a legal point of view, the United States does not have a household registration system such as zoning or household registration. Free movement of residents is completely feasible, and it is even a citizen's right.

Governments around the world are not allowed to block or refuse their own citizens to settle in.But the reality is that almost no municipal government wants a large outflow of residents within its jurisdiction.After all, with the flow of people, the city may disappear.
Then what kind of mayor, what kind of congressman, have to be laid off collectively.This situation is naturally not what the local government wants to see.
Don't look at Leiberding's active promotion of the proposal. He is only so active because it is the only way out of nowhere.Either a large number of people are unemployed, and finally run out and never come back; or they choose to cooperate with Carter to keep the employment problem, so that people are not so disappointed in Pearson, and they can come back to have a look under the influence of their hometown feelings.At least before you have the ability to settle in other places, go home and have a look. By the way, spend a little money?
Although theoretically speaking, when the employees of HT Company can save enough savings to buy houses in other places and settle down, the scale of HT Company will definitely not be small.At that time, there will be no shortage of employees. Even if it is for the convenience of management, it will not be possible to fill it with almost no Georgians as it is today.

It is necessary to recruit some local employees and solve some local employment.But HT Company was able to get rid of Pearson's influence, but Forest Bank couldn't!It cannot escape!Savings banks have no storage places, so what kind of savings banks are they called? !

Moreover, the large population outflow in Pearson City will inevitably directly affect Forest Bank's storage and storage issues, as well as the derived revenue issues.Considering love and profit, Carter didn't want to get into a stalemate with the Pearson municipal government.Then, how to help the Pearson government in a sneaky way to limit the outflow of employees has to be carefully considered.
"For this problem, I think it's better to block it. In other words, I don't have a good solution."

Hearing Carter mention this sensitive issue, Montgomery also had a headache.Things that cannot be prohibited by law, you, a small company, still expect to be able to control them?
"The problem ahead is not a big one. They are unlikely to have enough savings to buy a house within at least three years. Even if they save a down payment on a mortgage, it will take at least three years. This is still the case that housing prices will not rise in the future, but with the current In terms of inflation, that's impossible."

"Let's take a conservative figure, let's say four years. That is, four years later, a large number of people may move out and settle down. Before that, they still have to go back to Pearson for Christmas and Thanksgiving."

"Then let's see if the returned money, as well as the taxes paid by our company, can give the Pearson City Government some spare money for development and construction. If the hometown is well built and there are more job opportunities, who would want to leave their hometown? ?”

"Um"

Carter rested his chin on one hand and carefully read Montgomery's last words:

In the final analysis, Carter felt that he was somewhat affected by the future marketing account or something that often said "Americans love to move", which made him a little nervous.

It is not wrong to say that Americans love to move.The migration rate of Americans has almost always been among the top in the world, but the reason for most population migration is actually work.

Either they had to leave their homeland because of unemployment, or they were tempted by high salaries, and then went to their dreams and distant places.
Just like the line in "Chinatown" says: Everyone who drifts outside and doesn't go home has his own difficulties.Americans have no establishment, no iron rice bowl, big and small economic crises are like big aunts, they must come every ten years, every twenty years. They can only be late, but they are never absent.
Then there is unemployment and migration.
They move a lot, but it doesn't mean they really like to move often
