Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 20 Arrival at Gulfstream
"Brother, why don't we help them? They look so pitiful."

"Do you want to help them? It probably won't pay off well."

I was thinking about whether I should ask someone to ask if there is Carter from CNN in this year, and suddenly I heard Melis's probing voice next to me.Carter is not surprised by this, even he has a little bit of stuff, put it on Melis, who is only 13 years old, and it is normal to have some empathy for the little black boy who is about his own age in such embarrassment.

Facing Melis, Carter didn't have so many thoughts.If she wants to help, she can help, and the kindness of children should be encouraged.

"Well, I don't want anything in return, just to see how pitiful he is. He is as old as those classmates in our school, and they can all go out and play happily. He should be very envious of his classmates, right?"

"It should be. No, it's just one dollar. I'll give it to you. Go! Take the check over by the way. I'll go to the car to load things first."

Carter nodded noncommittally, and at the same time took out a dollar in cash from his pocket and stuffed it into Melis's hand together with the check that had just been signed.He was the first to return to the car with the two chairs he had just acquired and the packed tent.

With the clerk here, Carter didn't worry about Melis' safety at all.After putting the things into the suitcase, Melis came out bouncing around.There is a lingering fragrance in the hands of giving roses to others. This sentence may not have been heard by foreigners, but the feeling is the same.

Like a cheerful canary, Melis jumped into the co-pilot with a slight smile on her lips.In addition, Carter's heartache was much less just now, and the sun seemed to be brighter.

"What do you want to eat at noon? We should spend the night in Savannah tonight. Help me think about if there is anything else to bring. Some things are not easy to buy outside of Atlanta."

Sitting in the car, wearing a seat belt, Carter asked.

"There seems to be nothing missing, right? The snack cart has enough water and drinks, and the tent is also brother. Look, they came out, and they seem to be coming for us."

Melis, who was counting the supplies with her fingers, tilted her head, and while talking, suddenly pointed out the car window and shouted in surprise.Carter naturally also saw the black father and son who had just left the store walking towards him quickly.

"Melice, hand me the gun in the glove box."

Although it can be guessed that the black father and son may have come here to thank them, it is just in case.Carter still took out the pistol in the glove box, loaded it and inserted it into the holster around his waist, and then opened the door to get out of the car.

"Sir, sir, thank you very much for your help. Thank you"

As Carter expected, the black father and son immediately bowed and thanked Carter after seeing Carter get off the car.Of course, bowing is definitely not a deep bow. A deep bow is a salute to the dead in the United States. If you bow deeply, it is not a thank you, but a curse.

"It's okay, you're welcome. Besides, it's not me who wants to help you, but my sister."

For the sake of safety, Carter and Melis had "three chapters of agreement" long before departure.At times like this, Melis would never get out of the car. It seemed a little disrespectful, but it was normal in the United States.

The black father obviously understood, and hurriedly led his son through the front windshield of the sports car, and bowed slightly to Melis again.Then, he watched Carter drive away.
"Brother, it's not as dangerous outside as you said!"

After leaving the store parking lot, Carter pulled over on the side of the road.Lift up the hem of the polo shirt, take out the pistol, remove the magazine, and pull the holster to unload it.Just when Carter caught the bullet thrown out of the gun chamber and was about to press it into the magazine again, Melis spoke with a smile.

Before setting off, Carter described the outside world as a dark place, such as highway robbery, zero-dollar purchases, etc., so that Melis, who had never been outside Douglas, was a little scared.

When Carter asked for the gun just now, Melis's heart almost rose to her throat, and this is the end?

"It's not a big mistake to be careful. We don't take the initiative to hurt others, but we have to prevent others from hurting us! Put it back for me."

After pressing the bullets back into the magazine and inserting them back into the gun, Carter handed the pistol to Melis and put it back in the glove box.Although I now have a concealed gun license, I can carry a gun with me, but when I drive, I don't have an iron bump on my waist, and I always feel panicked.

In general, pistols are better kept in the glove box.It is also more convenient in case the police check the car or something.Because the pistol is in the glove box, the driver cannot get it in his hand quickly, and the police cannot be threatened at the first time.So putting the pistol in the glove box has almost become the default unspoken rule, that is, when the police check the car.

You can tell the police directly that I have a gun license, and my gun is in the glove box, and you can take it out and check it yourself.For the person who puts the pistol in the glove box, the first impression of the police will be that you are a "good citizen" by default, which can avoid many unnecessary troubles.These are the little tricks Carlos told Carter when he taught Carter how to gun.

Carter didn't want to use his current white skin to challenge the temper of the American police in the future, but he would die if he tried!
"You're the one who is more worried, shall we have pizza for lunch? I'm kind of craving pizza."

"it is good!"

After finishing lunch in Atlanta, they went downstairs to the Coca-Cola Company to make sure that there was no CNN in this year, and then the two of Carter set off for Savannah.

Savannah is a city by the sea, very close to South Carolina.From Savannah to the north, after passing the Garden, it enters the range of South Carolina.Then follow the east coast all the way north to New York.

It was already dark when we arrived in Savannah.In this era of no takeout, the night in the small town of Savannah is not much different from Douglas.

If Carter was alone, he might try to sneak into a tavern and have a drink or two.But since he brought his younger sister out, this kind of frantic probing on the edge of the law is of course impossible.Just finish dinner at the hotel, and then go to bed early.

Early the next morning, the two set off again.In this age without mobile phone navigation, relying on inefficient asking for directions, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning when I found Gulfstream Aircraft Company.

At this time, the Gulfstream Aircraft Company was not considered grand. The office area and the factory building were connected together. There was also a small airport outside the factory building, which was probably used for aircraft testing and transitions.Carter, who is neither a Gulfstream employee nor a Gulfstream customer, is naturally not allowed to enter Gulfstream.

But since it’s all here, wouldn’t it be a pity to just turn around and leave like this?Anyway, this is also a high-quality potential customer that Carter "personally discovered".If you can't get in, then don't go in at all!
The big red folding chair I just bought will come in handy.After parking the car at the gate of Gulfstream, Carter picked up two chairs and sat down in the shade of a tree not far away.Just quietly observing every move in Gulfstream.
The employees going to and from various workshops, the number of hangars in the distance, and a few small planes parked by the airport.Carter doesn't know what the future Gulfstream aircraft will look like, but the aircraft he sees now is almost the same as the future private jet, or exactly the same in appearance.

It has a slender fuselage, five small portholes on one side, and two jet engines hung on the fuselage.The tail of the whole body is snow-white, and there is a big T-shaped tail, which is truly extravagant!
