Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 251 Argyle Talk

After lunch at Gulfstream, we had a coffee break and chatted for an hour and a half.After getting a message that "Gulfstream aircraft needs to relocate the test flight field" which is not known to be useful, Carter said goodbye and left.

The next day, Carter came to Argyll with a highway agreement signed by seven city governments along the way.
It was early nine in the morning when Carter's Mustang rolled into Argyll.Nine o'clock in the morning on weekends should be the time for people to go out to play or do shopping after a good night's sleep.

But at this time, Argyll seemed to be shrouded in a cloud.
The flow of people is there, but it is pitifully small.What I saw along the way, the faces of the few pedestrians, even if they drove past in a hurry, they could still clearly capture the trace of melancholy.

The bags that the people who came out of the supermarket were significantly smaller than Douglas's!
After Carter parked the car at the gate of the Argyll City Hall, he walked into the office building.Everyone who saw Carter along the way showed complicated expressions on their faces.

Human emotions are always complicated!
At least in the eyes of Andrea Ashley, the municipal receptionist, when she saw the brisk walking figure appearing in front of her, Ashley felt mixed feelings.

It stands to reason that Argyle is suffering today, although he cannot blame the man in front of him, or the boy in other words.But he must also be one of the black hands that caused Argyll's decline today!

Ashley understands that behind any superficial result, there are many factors working together.Behind Argyle's decline today, there are the deterioration of the general economic environment, the deliberate withdrawal of loans by the Bank of Bath, and Carter, an outsider on the surface, who keeps siphoning Argyle's flesh and blood!
Ashley believes that as long as these three factors do not collide, Argyle will not be in the situation it is today.However, the reality is so ingenious!That damned Goddess of Fate not only made these things happen at the same time, but also handed over the hope of changing fate to the hands of the black hand behind the scenes.
"Hello, I'm Carter Black! I have an appointment with Mr. Creel, and we will meet at ten o'clock!"

"Ah, yes! Come with me, Mr. Mayor is already waiting for you, and he has reserved a whole day for you to meet!"

Carter's words interrupted Ashley's thoughts.The girl tried to restrain her emotions and finish her guiding work well, but when she went upstairs, the feeling of being caught by a cat made her unable to stop frequently looking at the person who was following her.
"What? Is there something wrong with my image?"

Frequently being looked at with monster-like eyes, Carter finally couldn't help but ask after the girl peeked at him for the first time.

"Ah?! No, I'm just curious, why Mr. Mayor and Mr. Speaker said that the only one who can pull Argyle out of the quagmire is you...me."

"Don't be nervous, this is just their bragging, don't take it seriously! Look, I've already seen the mayor's office, I just go there by myself!"

Carter dared not accept this savior-like evaluation.
Recalling the bits and pieces of this year, the turning point seems to be on that gold futures.If there is no such a huge profit, now I have to worry about how to make a profit from the deposit, how can I be so chic?
Even if there is a life hack with foresight, it will not be known how many years later when it is really realized.Before that, I was just an ordinary small businessman in Zuozhou, a banker. No, that can only be called a bank practitioner. Calling yourself a banker is a kind of shameless boasting.

As the old saying goes, a horse has no night grass and no fat, and a man has no windfall and no wealth! !

He knocked on the door of the Mayor of Argyll's office with a little emotion. As the door slowly opened, two people who were looking forward to it were waiting to welcome him.Compared with the mayor's office where I first walked into Benjamin, the specifications this time are obviously much higher.
"Mr. Black! Welcome to Argyll! This is Liber Creel, and this is Mr. Gerd McCawlane, Speaker of the City Council."

"Good morning, you two!"

After shaking hands and greetings, the host and guest chatted a few more words after they were seated, and only after the secretary brought coffee did they enter the topic.

"Did Mr. Patterson come with you?"

Seeing Carter who came alone, Creel and the two felt a little uneasy.

"I called him before I left. If I came from Atlanta, I should arrive in the afternoon."

Smiling, he reassured the two of them, saying that he was indeed here to acquire Bath Bank.Carter took out the authorization agreement for the proposed road toll collection rights and handed it to the two:

"I came here early to talk about other situations. The first one is this, the expressway project, so far, the progress is very smooth, to be precise, it is very smooth! With this agreement, I must be able to retire from retirement. There is a lot of financing in the fund! Although the road is not connected to Argyll, if you want, the pension fund of Argyll can also join in the investment.”

"The current shortfall is about [-] million. The pension funds of the three cities of Columbus, Savannah, and Albany are estimated to be able to bear at least [-] million to [-] million. The rest, Douglas The four cities, Pearson, Plains, and Baxley, can basically be solved. It’s really not enough, at worst, I’ll go to New York again, and I should be able to attract some more investment.”

"So, this road is basically done! In the future, if the production enterprises in Argyll City have shipping needs, they don't need to detour to Waycross. They can go directly north, enter the highway from Pearson North, and go directly to Savannah. accept."

"Okay! That's great! This news is heavenly news for Argyll. With this road, our products are much more competitive, and we don't need to be increased by the middlemen in Waycross. gone."

The contents of the seven agreements are similar with minor differences.Listening to Carter's narration, Creel, who quickly read the content, praised the agreement when he handed it to Speaker McCawlane next to him:
"However, these are things to talk about after all. It will not take a while for this road to be repaired and opened to traffic. In the past few days, Mr. McCawlane and I have gone to all the factories in the city to revitalize them."

"On the one hand, there is the problem of sales, and on the other hand, it is the cost"

"The market is not easy to find, and you are aware of the domestic environment. The overall consumer demand in the market has decreased. This is not something I can solve. Let's talk about the cost! If we only maintain a relatively low standard of production and work normally, how many loans will be needed? ?”

"Let's take a look at this, Mr. Black. This is the information after our research."

Carter's direct words made Creel a little embarrassed.After receiving the report from the other party, Carter was also speechless for a while after taking a look at it.
"What are you guys thinking? Let's not talk about whether I have so much money. Even if I do, I will make it according to your production capacity standards. Where will you sell the extra products?!"
