Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 224 This Is Not a Savings Bank

"Wait, sir, you can't blame the bank for the loan cutoff! You just said that the general environment is not good, and the bank may not be able to live well."

"Fart! His life in Bath is better than anyone else's, and he has never stopped eating steak and red wine every day!"

Maybe it was the thought of Baines' tragic end, or maybe it was stimulated by the female reporter's attitude of defending Bath Bank.Fat Brother's face suddenly turned red, and he seemed extremely agitated.

Carter could clearly see the camera stepping back, and then only heard the fat guy continue:
"It's not that the Bank of Bath doesn't have money to help us. They just want to expand their selfish desires to make money. I still say that, you are not a local, and you don't understand many things!"

"That old thing has been planning to acquire the Forest Bank of Pearson since last year. It's no secret to us at all. Their recovery of funds has started since last year!"

"Normal business behavior, I don't say anything, but now that the environment is deteriorating, they are still sticking to the old practice. They completely regard themselves as commercial banks, not savings banks!"

"Because of trust, we handed over the money to the Bank of Bath for management. As a result, when we most needed money to save our lives, they didn't pull it out! Even if they pulled it out, they set up obstacles in various ways, and they were still protecting their own interests."

"Is this still a savings bank? Is this still a member of our U.S. federal savings system? Isn't the meaning of federal savings to maintain domestic economic stability and ensure that all our citizens have food and a stable life?"

"This"

The female reporter looked at the excited fat man and was speechless for a moment.

The Federal Reserve System, except for the Federal Reserve Board, is officially called a non-profit institution.Logically speaking, the various savings banks that make up a complete federal savings system must also be considered non-profit institutions to be honest.To be precise, it is in the middle of a profit organization and a non-profit organization.That is, they can make money in normal years, but once the situation changes, they should immediately transform into a non-profit organization that maintains currency stability and economic stability.
For a non-profit organization, this kind of "focusing on money" is indeed not commendable.Therefore, it is understandable to cause the anger of local depositors.
"Whoo~"

After taking a deep breath and calming down his emotions, Fat Brother continued to say to the camera:

"Didn't you just ask why we took this loan? Because we want to escape this dead city, we're going to Pearson, we're going to Douglas!"

"It's also a savings bank. Over there, the long-term mortgage interest rate is 12% until now, but what about the Bank of Bath here? 16.8%! This is a ten-year loan!"

"We thought, after getting a mortgage here, get [-] US dollars, go to Pearson to rebuild or buy a house, even if it is smaller or older, it doesn't matter. Then mortgage the property to Forest Bank, etc. After working for a few days and saving some money, I will use that money to repay our arrears and Prepayment fines in Argyll. When the economy recovers, we will sell our house in Argyll and settle in Pearson completely. Use the proceeds from the sale of the house to repay the Forest Bank loan.”

"In this process, we actually have to pay a lot of costs. For example, the interest during the period of working and saving money, such as liquidated damages settled in advance, such as the interest of Forest Bank, and the taxes that need to be paid in the house transaction payment"

"Our life is already very difficult, but none of us have ever complained. These losses cost at least [-] to [-] US dollars, but we have no objections. As long as there is a job, as long as we can live, we can accept it. But Even though we are already in such distress, there are still people who are unwilling to let us go! There are still people who want to suck our blood again!!"

"If early settlement is not allowed at all, we will have to pay an additional interest of more than [-] US dollars in addition to this loss. So I sympathize with Baines, but I don't sympathize with those who died at gunpoint The guards below are also the staff of the Bank of Bath."

"Well, I admit that they also have their own helplessness. It's just that this is what they deserve for helping the evildoers."

"Jenny, I'll go out first!"

Seeing this on TV, Carter had roughly outlined the whole picture of the shooting in his mind.Although it feels a little sudden and even speechless, this kind of thing is still possible if you think about it carefully.

Carter once encountered the incident where the noodle shop by the train station raised the price of a bowl of noodles so that a verbal conflict caused a murder.
For Carter, who had witnessed the whole process while cooking rice next door to the noodle shop, he understood that the reasons behind many impulsive crimes were actually not that complicated.A little thing, plus a little excitement, may make a tragedy break out
It's just different from the previous experience. Carter always felt that he should make some preparations for this sudden incident at the Bank of Bath.After all, as the fat guy said, their purpose was to come for Pearson or Douglas.

Originally, in this relatively sensitive period, immigrants were not welcomed by the locals.After all, no one likes someone to share their cake, especially when the cake is not big enough.This is not some kind of discrimination between urban people and rural people. A serious conflict of interest will make this kind of confrontation more serious than ordinary discrimination.

Maybe the inefficient city council will speed up the review of restrictions on naturalization because of the news?

"Bring your gun! Stay safe"

"It's okay, this is not a gangster, our side is still very stable. Besides, I won't go to the bank, I will go to Goodman's house and discuss some things with him!"

Looking at the back of Carter leaving in a hurry, Jenny silently put away the guns on the coffee table
"Mom, is what Carter said true? Are we still safe here?"

Waiting until the sound of Carter starting the car came from outside the window, Melis came back to her senses in a daze, and asked with some worry.

"Don't worry, didn't you hear what your brother said? Our Douglas is still safe, and in ten days, your brother Levin and Bradley's police training will be over. I will live at home first, and then we will have two policemen at home, so don’t be afraid!”

Just as Jenny was comforting Melis, Carter also came outside Goodman's house.Hearing the sound of the car, Goodman seemed to know that Carter was coming. Before Carter had parked the car, he opened the door and stood at the door waiting
"Did you see the news? The shooting at the Bank of Bath."

"Yes, that's why I'm here."

"Come in! Come in and talk"

After entering Goodman's house and saying hello to his family, the two came to the backyard.
"What are you worried about now?"

"I'm worried about the accelerated passage of the proposal to limit naturalization!"
