Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 226

"I lost my job!"

"I lost my wife and child!"

"I'm going to lose my house soon, no, you don't even give me this chance, hahaha, die, die, let's go to hell together!"

Every roar was accompanied by a gunshot. With the last gunshot, the Argyle police could no longer bear the pressure and had to break into the door
It was only at this time that the policemen who broke down the door and stormed into the bank saw only a few hostages who were trembling and still in shock.And Baines, together with old and young Bass, lay quietly in a pool of blood
This shocking change in Bath Bank immediately caused a commotion outside the bank.

The female reporter covered her mouth in horror, and looked at the closed door of the Bank of Bath in disbelief; the fat man who had just finished the interview sighed with a complicated expression.

He remembered what he and Baines had complained outside the Bath Bank that afternoon, waiting for his turn to go in for an interview:

"I can't wait to shoot this old thing down!"

He thought that when this scene really happened, he would be very excited and very happy.But the truth is, he only felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
"Goodman! God, come here! Come and see, that guy killed again!"

Several gunshots not only shocked Argyle, but Carter and Goodman rushed into the house after hearing the exclamation from the house.

"Goodman! He killed Bass, God, this is terrible, how many people has he killed?! Carter, can I take a day off for my husband?"

"Um, what's the matter?"

If there is a shooting at the Bank of Bath, it is an emergency.Now the old Bath is directly collapsed, that is an emergency among emergencies
When this kind of thing happens, people are needed to make suggestions, communicate and implement it, so why ask for leave in a decent way?
"I'm going to make him go to Macon to buy a body armor or I'm too worried about him. This time Bass Bank, next time. Sorry me, I didn't mean that."

"Okay! Okay! Sasha, it's not as scary as you think. What happened to the Bath Bank will not happen in our Black Bank, don't worry!"

Just when Goodman hugged his wife's shoulders and comforted him, the phone at home suddenly rang.After handing his wife a reassurance and Carter an apologetic look, Goodman walked over to the phone
"The call from Director William suggested that we increase our security forces, and starting tomorrow, he will send six police officers to guard around our bank."

After telling Carter the contents of the phone call, Goodman added with some helplessness:
"It's all right now, everyone is probably starting to worry about us. Look, here we go again!"

Walking to the phone again, not long after picking up the phone, Goodman suddenly waved at Carter:

"Mr. Benjamin's phone number, I'm looking for you!"

The content of the first half of Benjamin's phone call was not what the two expected.Caring, reminding Carter and the others to pay attention to safety and to strengthen bank security is nothing new.But after saying this, Benjamin changed the subject:
"Although it is not kind to say so, objectively speaking, after such an incident at the Bank of Bath, our proposal should be passed soon!"

"That's not a good thing, Uncle Rob."

Carter smiled wryly, and told about the arrangement he and Goodman had made in the afternoon.It's just that after listening to Carter's description, Benjamin didn't take it too seriously:

"Isn't this not implemented yet? Just stop it!"

"That's what I said, but that place"

"Hahaha, don't worry about the land issue. I believe in the potential of your business district, those lands will be worth money sooner or later!"

"That's the only way"

Sighing, after hanging up Benjamin's phone, Carter notified Goodman, temporarily stopped the registration of the construction company, and then left.

On the way home, Carter mused on how the incident might affect him.

First of all, the strengthening of security forces must be accelerated!As for this matter, the bank was already doing it. For the time being, the bank did not see an increase in security personnel. It was just that O'Neill's people were arranged by Carter to receive training from the National Guard.

Of course, it's not that Carter's hands and eyes are all over the sky, but he just found an officer of the National Guard to train and train these rangers.At least, as the bank's security personnel, it's fine to use black people. If they are tainted with a strong sense of banditry, then it will lower the grade of your own bank too much, won't it?

It's easy to talk about this aspect. The basic personnel are training, and the big deal is to end early.Another thing is to recruit a retired military officer to come over as a security supervisor and slowly wash away the gang marks on them.In these early years of the Vietnam War, an experienced retired military officer was easy to find.

Second, there are economic issues.Land that is not easy to sell, and the surrounding security environment that may deteriorate.If the land cannot be sold, there is naturally no need to start a construction company, and it is impossible to continue to absorb foreign funds to restore the local economy.Needless to say, the deterioration of the surrounding security environment is also detrimental to economic development.
It's just that in the face of such force majeure, Carter has nothing to do for the time being.No matter how much money he has, it will be difficult for him to fight against the collective will of the citizens of Douglas.If the people of Douglas collectively boycotted the outsiders and felt that these outsiders were dangerous elements who came to steal their jobs, then it would be inevitable to resist their entry.

Even though his prestige is good now, Carter is unwilling to stand on the opposite side of the citizens for this issue.
It's just that the development logic of things in reality is often illogical!

The proposal to restrict naturalization has not yet been put on the table of the council, and even more turbulent crowds flocked to Douglas and Pearson.They are waving banknotes and buying land like crazy.
A few Douglas landlords who were hostile to outsiders arrogantly expressed that they would not sell, and what they saw was more money.
"You mean, the land is sold out?! One day?"

After school the next day, Carter, who had just walked into the bank, heard the news that shocked him.

"To be precise, our land within three kilometers to the south of the city is all sold out! If you weren't with me last night, I doubt that the fat man who was interviewed was hired by you!"

"After being yelled at by him, it's good! The whole Georgia knows that we have the lowest interest rate and the lowest unemployment rate here!"

What is pain and happiness, now is!
Having just signed a land sale contract on behalf of the bank, Goodman picked up the contract and gave Carter a nod:
"Look, this customer is actually from Albany! Albany is more than a hundred kilometers away from us. Under normal circumstances, how would they know our interest rate and our situation?"

"Huh? You mean old Buzz put up an ad for us?"

Facing Carter's suspicious eyes, Goodman tapped the contract in his hand again:

"Then how do you explain the situation?"
