Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 250 Test Airfield Relocation Ideas
"Building highways? This is not a small investment."

After Paulson heard the words, he muttered in a low voice in disbelief.

"It must be hundreds of millions, right?"

"Yes, the total budget is just over [-] million yuan, and there is still a gap of [-] million yuan. Why don't you come over to confirm the fee agreement, sign a guarantee agreement, and then I will go to the retirement pension fund to raise funds later."

After taking a bite of the meal, Carter raised his head and smiled slightly.

To be honest, he came to Gulfstream for dinner, but he really had no other purpose.Just come to meet old acquaintances, to feel a sense of presence.As the saying goes, if you don't want to be strong, Carter, who has no greed for Paulson for the time being, is also very relaxed after eating this meal.

Eat, eat and chat, so happy!

"Awesome! Last year at this time, you seemed to have just taken over that small bank, and this year it has reached hundreds of millions."

After sighing with emotion, Paulson suddenly lowered his voice, looked around nervously, and then whispered:

"Tell me quietly, did you rob a bank? Or a big bank like Chase Manhattan."

"Hahaha, how is it possible. My personal contribution is only tens of millions, and I haven't raised it yet. The rest of the hundreds of millions are all borrowed!"

"That's strong enough, and ordinary people can't borrow [-] million U.S. dollars."

After making a joke and flattering each other a few words, Paulson seemed to remember something.Suddenly asked:
"By the way, when you build this road, how can you guarantee the traffic demand? If the traffic volume is not large enough, even if there is a guarantee agreement, this project is not good."

"Yes, I think so in terms of demand. Columbus and Albany, these two cities are not small in size, and they have garrison bases, so there is a high demand for consumer goods imports. In addition, I also plan to For a business promotion project, I’m currently talking about a Japanese company called Sanli or something. They are engaged in the production of auto parts, and they will go to my side to open a large factory at that time. This way, the income should be fine. .”

After eating and drinking, on the way to follow Paulson to the other party's office, Carter said as he walked:

"Besides, the charging period is [-] years. Slowly develop, there will always be improvement!"

"What you said made my heart move, hahaha! Come on, please come in, or coffee?"

Pushing open the door of the office, the furnishings inside are the same as last year.After coming to the previous seat and sitting down, Carter nodded with a smile:
"Why, is Uncle Paulson also interested in investing? Hehe, three to five million yuan is not too little, and one or two million yuan is not too much for me!"

"Forget it, I'm having a hard time right now. I don't even have the money to invest in such a big project."

Having a bad day?
Carter was taken aback when he heard the words. Didn't the new plane successfully make its first flight at the end of last year? !
"The airworthiness certificate has not yet come out, and now it is all about the Gulfstream II to generate revenue. But if the Gulfstream III cannot enter the market for a day, the research and development funds I invested will not be recovered for a day. Don't talk about investing in your road project, I am now I have considered selling assets to hold on for a while.”

After ordering the secretary to make two cups of coffee and some snacks, Paulson sat back in his seat.

"After all, Gulfstream is an aircraft manufacturing company. Even if it is not big, the labor expenditure is not weaker than that of ordinary medium-sized factories. Gulfstream II's fuel tank design is a little problematic, but it's not a problem, it just doesn't adapt to the current era. !"

"The fuel load is relatively low, and the range is short. In such an era of embracing internationalization, short-range aircraft can no longer satisfy customers, and it is an old aircraft after all. Since 78, we have shifted our focus to After Gulfstream III, there is not much improvement on it, coupled with the current economic environment."

"The sales of Gulfstream II are not optimistic. I was wondering whether to sell the airport outside or move some of the factories out, but now your words have given me an idea!"

"You mean, move the Gulfstream to my side?"

Good guy, have you been stepping on shit recently? !
One surprise after another? !

"No, no, Gulfstream won't move. I signed an agreement with Savannah at the beginning, and there are some preferential policies. Besides, Savannah is also convenient here. I'm just thinking about selling this airport and moving the test airport. go out."

Paulson smiled and shook his head, giving Carter a reasonable explanation:

"The land price in Savannah is relatively high. Such an airport has to pay a lot of taxes every year. If it is only used for test flights, the utilization rate is too low. Compared with the cost, some resources are wasted."

"And now I don't want to fire my workers, nor do I want to sell my equipment. After all, these people and equipment are easy to sell, but it is difficult to buy them back. They are not cabbages on the street."

"So after thinking about it, I found that the only way to go is to sell the airport. At first, I was thinking about where to move. No, you appeared! If you can repair this highway , it’s cheaper for me, hahaha!”

Carter fully understands Paulson's words.

Aeronautical engineers are definitely high-end technical talents in the manufacturing industry.This kind of people is not as easy to recruit as the workers on the construction site. Once they are dismissed now, if they want to gather such a group of talents in the future, even if they can do it, the price will be very high!
After all, only the original team understands Gulfstream's needs best!They are very familiar with Gulfstream III's technical indicators, performance indicators, design structure, etc., and they can immediately start to solve any problems.It takes a while for a new person to get started.
Thinking about it this way, Paulson said he wanted to sell the airport, which is indeed a curvy way to save the country.Carter is just a little regretful. Now he has no money on hand, and he is even short of money. Otherwise, now is a good time to invest in Gulfstream!

"Hey, it's not just convenient for you alone. By the way, is the airport easy to sell? The price should not be low. I see that the runway outside is quite long, and the area occupied is not small."

Carter didn't think about things that he couldn't afford to invest.As for the relocation of the test flight field, this is not something that will happen in a short period of time. At least within a year, don't expect too much movement.That being the case, Carter continued to chat, casually asking like an old friend.

"This airport is not hard to sell. We have two Georgia deep-water ports nearby. One is Savannah Port and the other is Brunswick Port. They are not far away. So we don't have many other things here, but there are many logistics companies! "

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Someone has already made up their minds about this airport. These logistics companies have joined forces to buy an airport for express shipments. This will greatly improve their overall business and corporate image. At least, they can do it, other logistics companies can’t do it, just to advertise and differentiate their company from other companies, they are willing to buy it!”

"I'm not worried about the sale of the airport. I'm just worried about the new test flight field. Build it, there's no money! Don't build it, use the existing airport, and the location is not suitable."
