Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 19 Not Expensive
"Oh, it's okay, don't look at me like that. Let me tell you, this chair is really comfortable to sit on. Don't think it's just a folding chair. It can be used as a normal chair at home. Besides, how well does this festive bright red match with my blue sports car?"

"Since ancient times, red and blue have produced CP. When we are on the road and see the beautiful scenery, we can stop the car and put down two chairs. Sit down leisurely, drink a cup of coffee, enjoy the scenery and continue to go. This is What a pleasant place to travel!"

After being stared at by Melis' eyes like a fool for a long time, Carter couldn't bear this weird look.Without explaining, Carter is worried that his reputation as a madman will spread throughout Douglas, and he will live in that small town for two years in the future. Carter does not want to become a "celebrity" in Douglas, and be pointed at everywhere he goes.
"Ha ha."

Mei Lisi sneered, quietly watching her brother argue.A total of one hundred and ten folding chairs, do you call this a bank for guests to rest?When will more than a hundred people line up in front of your bank?
Oh, and the group withdrawals from the previous days don't count.
The eight teller windows are redundant, and there is still a queue
"Mr. Black, the statistics are ready. There are a total of 3 folding chairs, each $330, a total of $58, a family tent $388, $415.32 plus tax, a total of $415, you can give 30 yuan and [-] cents. In addition The delivery bill will be brought to the recipient by the driver at that time, and it will not be collected now."

"Okay, no problem. I'm writing the check now."

Carter had no objection except that it was strange to hear the salesperson's stingy wiping.The comprehensive consumption tax in Georgia is usually around 7%, neither high nor low, very moderate.

More than four hundred dollars may be a lot for ordinary Americans these days, but don't forget that there are still more than six million dollars lying in my account, and the money borrowed by the bank is paid without interest before departure. The loan was transferred to Carter's personal account.It's only four hundred yuan, drizzle!
It is now 79 years, and China has just begun to reform.Carter knew that at this time, the country wanted to develop its economy and was short of foreign exchange.There are many things Carter can't do.Even if you have six million dollars in your hands right now, you can't donate all of it to become a saint in China.But if we can help within our capacity, we can help a little. Even if there are more than [-] chairs, each chair can only get one dollar in China, that is good~
While signing the check, Carter sighed with emotion. As expected, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.In his previous life, he wanted to do something good, and all he could do was donate ten yuan to the public welfare fund every month to do his best. Now he can buy more than a hundred useless chairs in one go, but he feels the same as in his previous life. Donate about ten yuan.

Not only does it not hurt, but it also feels a little ashamed. Is it too little?
"Well, can this oven be cheaper? $23 is a bit too much. Is $21 okay?"

When Carter was signing the check, the black father and son saw that the salesperson was temporarily free, and the black father hurried over with his son.Holding a pair of barbecue grills in his hand, he looked at the salesperson nervously.

Don't think that there is no bargaining in the United States. In general stores, bargaining is very normal.Especially in the era of not being rich, but speaking of it, there are still leisurely people who bring their children to outdoor stores to buy picnic supplies, at least they are middle class, or the black middle class that is relatively rare these days
Carter, who was filling out the check, turned his head and looked at them curiously.The black father was wearing a short-sleeved plaid shirt and a pair of khaki pants, a very common middle-class dress.The child stared helplessly at the small oven in his father's hand
"Hey, how many times have you asked? I said $23 is $23! Buy it if you can, fuck off if you don't!"

When facing Carter, the polite salesperson was not polite at all when facing the black father and son.Not only did he yell impatiently, he even started trying to take the oven from the black father.

"Sir, $22, is $22 okay? $23 is really a bit much, and my child's school organizes field trips. This is his last year at school, and he hasn't participated in any field trips before. I want to meet His little wish, but now we don’t have much savings and we still have to live, so I really can’t spend much money to buy it, but I really need it.”

At the same time as the salesperson started, the black father hugged the oven in his arms.Just when Carter thought that this person was going to make a live version of "zero dollar purchase", the black father suddenly cried.It was very abrupt, very inconsistent with Carter's impression of crying like a black man.

"His mother doesn't have a job, and the whole family can only rely on my income alone. One side is the family, and the other side is the dream of the child. You should also be a father, right? Please, please stand in the perspective of a father, Pity this kid. Even if it’s $23, can you let me take it away with $22 first, and I’ll definitely come over next month and pay back the remaining $1.”

"Dad, we don't want it anymore! Let's go!"

Unlike the black father's tears streaming down his cheeks, the little black boy behind him seemed a little indifferent.Staring at the salesperson silently, he tugged at the corner of his father's clothes.Perhaps, he also knows his own thoughts, and the burden on the family is too great
Carter, who was on the sidelines, was a little heartbroken watching this noisy show.Can't help but think of the line in "I'm Not the God of Medicine":
There is only one disease in this world, poor disease!
However, Carter is not a saint. For such things that have nothing to do with him, his heart is full of waves, but he will not interfere with anything.Even speaking, black people have never been very good in Carter's impression, which is why Carter was willing to temporarily put aside loans to black people when Goodman said it briefly.

Low-quality, violent, yelling "Black Lives Matter" at every turn, and then turning around to bully future black Asians who are also ethnic minorities, all of which made it difficult for Carter to agree with them.

But thinking of "Black Lives Matter", Carter almost laughed again. For the 13-year "Black Lives Matter" movement, Atlanta was one of the base camps. They even hung a huge portrait of Floyd on the building next to the world-famous fake news manufacturing center.Who would have thought that in the future Atlanta, the black people who are invincible can be pointed at their noses by an ordinary white salesperson and scolded.This doesn't look like "Black Lives Matter", it's simply "Black Lives Matter", and it's even a bit cheap, you can't even bargain for a dollar
It can only be said that the United States is too magical, from the white supremacy of the 3K Klan, to the white left, and black lives are expensive. You will never know what the next political correctness will be in this place.
Wait what did I just think of?The fake news manufacturing center behind Black Lives Matter? CNN!

Yes, CNN is headquartered in Atlanta.Not to mention the future fake news production center, the inventor of the underworld filter, the master of yin and yang twists and distortions, etc., CNN is undoubtedly one of the iconic big companies in Atlanta.

But so far, Carter doesn't appear to have seen CNN on television.Maybe this is an investment opportunity?
