Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 231 Prosperity
The financial pressure is only one aspect of Carter's worries, and the other aspect exists in execution.

Namely, building a modern American community!
So here comes the problem!What does a modern American neighborhood look like?Carter, he has never seen it!
"It's crazy! Are you going to build a community? For them to live in? I believe you even say it's a high-end wealthy district!"

Carter has never seen what kind of modern American community is like, so he has to follow the memory of his previous life and add the experience of this life.Revise and revise and draw a rough bird's-eye view of the community, as well as a house structure diagram.

And when Carter showed this moving drawing to Goodman for reference, the latter exclaimed like a horse killing a chicken.

"Are you building a park or a community? My God, you even gave them a huge swimming pool!"

"Ahem, that's a landscape pool, not a swimming pool. Then, it's okay, just a little more flowers and plants?"

Thanks to the cheap land price, the scope of the community can almost be left to Carter to volatilize.But out of cost-saving considerations, Carter did not design the community to be very large.

For the first phase of the project, Carter plans to design only forty small villas to form a small community.Forty small villas are distributed in a ring around the landscape pool in the center of the community, and the road design in the community is also extremely simple to circle the lake and islands.

Such a design is currently the most cost-effective operation method for Carter.First of all, in terms of capital, the total cost of 40 small villas, plus landscape pools, leisure areas, and road construction is less than 140 million US dollars.At the same time, the design of the road around the island is also convenient to connect with the second and third phases in the future, and eventually form a complete medium and large community.

At the same time, in order to avoid the large amount of earthwork that needs to be excavated, the so-called landscape pool looks big, but in the case of retaining the island in the center of the lake, it is better to say that it is an irregular circle around the center. shaped island in the middle of the lake, a small ditch was dug around it
On the island in the middle of the lake, get some fitness equipment that is very common in Chinese communities.Carter often played with those things when he was a child, and he knew that they were not difficult to manufacture at all, and the cost was low, and the design drawings were not difficult for him to draw.Next to the leisure and fitness area, a large awning is added, and a plastic children's slide group that is almost universal in the world is added to the shed.

The rest is basically planting trees and then planting trees. Compared with the pavilions and flowing water in the landscape design of some residential areas in China in his previous life, Carter only feels that the thing in front of him looks rough.

If this kind of community design is placed in the future China where the real estate boom is booming, it will basically have nothing to do with attractiveness.It belongs to the category that dogs shake their heads when they see it.
But if it is placed in the United States, or the United States in this meeting, it will be so damn ahead of its time!
Not to mention now, even in the future, almost [-]% of American communities will not have any so-called public activity areas at all.Of course, if you insist on saying that the empty grassland is a public activity area, then Carter has nothing to say.

It's just that in an American-style community without fences and gates, almost no one would regard it as a public activity area in their own community.And some high-end communities may have swimming pools and fitness areas.However, the fitness areas in high-end communities in the United States are basically professional gyms. On the one hand, they have to pay to use them;

Therefore, Goodman was stunned the first time he saw the drawings drawn by Carter.In this year and month, some people believe that this kind of community is a high-end community, but you tell me that its buyers and future residents are those... those unemployed? !

"In this case, the cost will increase a lot."

"I roughly calculated that the profit value of the community built in this way will increase more than the cost increase. After all, such a community is only available here! I just want to ask, what do you think of this design? It is from consumption From a reader’s perspective, do you think you would like to live in such a community?”

"Of course, this kind of environment is suitable for all ages! No one doesn't like it, but this house design. Is this a terrace? Isn't it too small? What's the use of it?"

Skipping over the bird's-eye view of the complex as a whole, Goodman picks up another structural drawing of the house.Pointing to the balcony among them, he asked suspiciously.

"You can bask in the sun and then dry your clothes!"

"Then I don't think it is necessary. There is a sun room and an open space outside. To dry clothes, you only need to erect a few poles outside the back door. The cost is definitely cheaper than making such an extension on the house !"

The drawings were handed over to Pearson's designers, and the data was marked, and after professional revision, they were quickly sent back to the construction company.Under the command of various small "contractors", the workers started to work against the scorching sun.

In mid-June, Carter also paid the workers their first salaries as scheduled.The workers who received the real gold and silver work more enthusiastically!

At the same time, the ten newly opened HT stores, according to the feedback from Jinas, are very profitable!

In the free tasting event held on the opening day, with each person limited to one piece, the daily consumption reached at least [-] pieces.The proportion of returning customers on the second day also reached [-]%, with a stable daily sales of [-] cakes, and it is still gradually increasing.
While happy with the benefits of HT stores, Carter also let out a sigh of relief.At least, I have lost the salary burden of hundreds of people. Although it seems like a drop in the bucket compared to the current high labor expenditure, it can be called a significant improvement.

The success of the first batch of stores to test the water also stimulated the enthusiasm of the trainees who are still in Pilsen.For a time, the cities of Douglas and Pearson were thriving.

Everyone's face is full of hope, full of expectations for the future!

This is completely different from the mental outlook of people in other cities, and it seems that it is not obvious to these local people.But for new outsiders, such as Jim Rogers, the difference can be said to be like a natural moat!
After deciding to be an idle individual investor in the future, Jim didn't rush into work.Of course, it was useless for him to be anxious, because after May and Carter made an appointment to go to Hawaii together for the summer vacation, his mind was full of sunny beach bikinis, and he couldn't tolerate those boring market data at all.

After finally getting through to June, there was no movement from Carter's side.Every time he called to remind, Carter said "Sorry, wait for two more days".
Two days and two days, if you don't collect the net again, no, if you don't start, summer will be over! ! !
Ever since, Jim was almost suffocated in New York, drove his own car, and headed south all the way.In addition to personally catching Carter, a big pigeon spirit, he can also stop by his hometown of Alabama to visit his former friends.

However, along the way, as the vehicle drove out of New York, Jim's face became more and more ugly.After all, the depression on paper is not as piercing as the sorrow on people's faces.Especially when he saw the old people in Alabama, which can be said to be the poorest state in the United States, with sallow, thin, and worried looks, he felt even more uncomfortable.
As the car drove into Georgia, Jim wondered if Carter was getting entangled in these things.After all, his house is a savings bank, and when he drove to Douglas
