Chapter 249

With a clear goal and direction, Carter acted quickly.

The vacation trip was temporarily put on hold, and Carter flew back to Georgia early the next morning.That afternoon, Carter appeared in Benjamin's office.

Douglas, including Pearson, are easy to talk about.As a major contributor to boosting the local economy, Benjamin and Leiberdin had no objections to conditionally granting Carter the road toll right for a few more years.

Even from the bottom of their hearts, they hope that businessmen like Carter can make money.after all.
From a utilitarian point of view, Carter made money, which also allowed them to earn political achievements and political capital; from a moral point of view, Carter is a good comrade!Seriously, the rich first brought the rich later, and when he made money, he invested in the construction of his hometown. He was simply a big brother of Douglas! !
This kind of person, you don't support him, is it justified? !Do you still have a conscience? ?Is there still Wang Fa? ?

Is it not a problem at all to extend the time for granting the charging right?Not only will the council have no objections, the citizens will not be able to say no if they know about it!

In addition to these two cities, the other two small towns along the highway, Plains and Baxley, also have no objection.Originally, there was only a small town connected by county-level roads (highways worse than our country's provincial roads), but when they heard that there was a highway to be built, they couldn't be happier!

The truth that "if you want to get rich, build roads first" is not only understood by Chinese people.Americans, who developed roads earlier, have long known how much good roads and traffic environments can contribute to economic development.

It's rare that there is a highway to be repaired, and you don't have to pay for it yourself. At this moment, the only reason is that Carter won't come to repair it!TOLL?Collect and collect!Can be received!

If the two places hadn't known that they were brothers, they would have dared to give Carter the permanent toll right under such a harsh environment. At worst, they would just build a new expressway when the economy developed.

What's more, Carter didn't have that much thought at this time. He just hoped that on the basis of the [-]-year charging period, if there was no capital protection, he would charge a few more years of fees.

After finishing the four cities along the route that are the easiest to deal with and also the least influential, Carter began to attack the three royal families: Columbus, Albany, and Savannah!

The first stop, Carter came to Columbus.

Columbus's location in Georgia is actually a bit biased. After passing Columbus and going west, you can enter Alabama.And stuck between Columbus and Alabama is the famous Fort Benning military base!
As a military base with a permanent population of over [-], the population of this Fort Benning is more than that of a city in his hometown.And the lives of more than [-] people are a huge market.

Before going to talk with the Columbus city government, Carter first came to the gate of the base.Looking at the soldiers on duty, the family members coming and going, the delivery vehicles, and the vehicles for maintenance, silently evaluate the value of this place.

As a half-hearted internet military fan, Carter couldn't tell anything except that the soldier on duty was holding an M16.But just looking at the supporting facilities of this base: hospitals, schools, family living areas, restaurants, bars, supermarkets and other living facilities are all available, and a market judgment is probably enough.

The entire Fort Benning military base is like a huge city, entrenched west of Columbus.The most terrible thing is that this "city" is still extremely, even completely dependent on imports!

After all, the U.S. military does not have a tradition of doing its own production, growing vegetables and raising pigs.Want to eat vegetables?purchase!Want to eat meat?Knife, knife.
Purely a big market for importing consumer goods, this is it!Combined with Columbus next door, in addition to products that can be supplied locally, a large number of consumer goods need to be shipped in from other places.No wonder Columbus has a high enthusiasm for road construction.
With such a wealthy neighbor here, you can make a lot of money by running errands, why don't you give yourself some good tools?For example, buy a small motorcycle or something, and the service is good and rich?
In this case, although it is not necessary to have a highway to communicate with the shipping port, it is definitely much better than nothing.Ever since, Carter was surprised to find out.

What was originally thought to be difficult, turned out to be extremely easy to negotiate? !Dove couldn't compare to the smoothness of the meeting process.

Much like Columbus's situation, Albany is also a city with a garrison base.Their demand for roads is similar to that of Columbus. It seems that even the better-developed city of Columbus agrees, and they have no reason to disagree.

An avalanche-like chain reaction took shape!
On the fifth day after Carter returned to Georgia, he stepped into the gate of the Savannah City Hall. The mayor took out the agreement document and said simply:

"Hurry up and sign, hurry up!"

Of course, although the words are not so vulgar, the situation is such a situation.After one line, out of the seven cities connected in series, six families were fooled by this grandson.Is his Savannah objection useful?
Since I can't resist, it's better to just lie flat and enjoy it. Ah, no, let nature take its course, and quickly get rid of this shit.

Things were going so smoothly that Carter was a little confused for a while after walking out of the Savannah City Hall.If he knew this matter was so easy to solve, why did he come back in such a hurry? !
Look around in a circle, and then look up at the bright sun above your head.like?It's almost lunchtime?
About half an hour later, in the staff canteen of Gulfstream Aircraft Company.

"Carter, don't you really come here for a meal?!"

Looking at Carter, who was gorging on the opposite side, Paulson looked astonished.

Georgia is neither big nor small, and basically everyone can understand what's going on.Especially after Bass Bank was on the news, the news that Douglas and Pearson attracted tens of thousands of people almost overnight, can be described as a great miracle in Georgia a few days ago!
After all, the population of the entire Georgia state is just over [-] million, which is less than [-] million.More than [-] people, that's more than one-thousandth of the population of the whole state!
As the central figure in this hot issue, Carter Black was naturally targeted by various media and gossip tabloids in the state.In addition, Carter's current asset situation is not a secret. His HT company, construction company, etc. cannot be hidden from anyone at all.

Hearing Carter's visit suddenly, Paulson lamented the drastic changes this year for this little guy who was so immature last year, but also took some seriousness.When he thought about it, Carter took the initiative to come to the door at this time, maybe there was something he needed to find himself, but in the end...
rubbish? ?
Why can't you afford to eat? !

"The main thing is to eat, hahaha. It just so happens that it's time for dinner, so I came to see you. What's the matter? Uncle Paulson?"

"That's not true, I'm just curious why you suddenly came to Savannah to grab a meal. It's two hundred kilometers away, you. What about it?"

"Hahaha, no, no. I just went to the Savannah City Hall to do something. I plan to build a highway from Columbus to Savannah. Here are these documents."

 Sorry, overslept this afternoon.For the time being, I will post three chapters first, and I will continue to code the rest and post them later.In addition, thanks to the boss "Arnohe" for the first alliance, there are more missions added.
  In addition, let me talk about the problem of the Fort Benning base. I see that it is written in Ohio on Baidu Encyclopedia. Outrageous!

  Fort Benning is actually in Georgia, including the source of the name.It was former Confederate Brigadier General Henry Benning, who was one of the leaders of Georgia's secession from the Confederacy that year.The zip code for the Fort Benning area is also GA 31905, so the base is actually in Georgia.Not in Ohio, the state capital of Ohio is also called Columbus, which is a point of confusion.
