Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 265 Test each other
"You are?"

The next afternoon, when Carter walked out of the temporary terminal at Atlanta Airport, he saw the pick-up sign holding his name at a glance.But what's interesting is that the person holding the sign is not a common white face, but an Asian!

"Hello, are you Mr. Carter Black?!"

The Asian youth holding the placard seemed doubtful, but his tone was firm.While putting away the pick-up card, he said seriously:

"I'm Akio Toyoda, the interpreter for this meeting!"

"Hi, hello! Your name, and Toyota."

After reaching out to shake hands with each other, Carter asked as he walked.

"Haha, coincidence! Coincidentally, I'm currently working in an investment bank in the United States, and this time I was only temporarily invited by Toyota to be an interpreter! In addition, I want to come here myself, mainly to get to know you!"

"Thank you! Wouldn't it be worthwhile to make a special trip just to get to know me? Besides, it's my honor to be in the eyes of big investment banks like you!"

Seeing this Japanese man named Akio Toyoda running back and forth to pick up the plane, he took the initiative to open the car door for himself.Carter, who had just been pissed off by a lot of Japanese, felt much better, and couldn't help laughing and making a joke.

This man has eyesight!able!
"Nowhere, I'm not a big investment banker. Moreover, your HT company has great potential! Not only me, I heard that many VCs have ideas!"

Sitting in the co-pilot of the car in a proper manner, Akio Toyoda said with a smile while instructing the driver to drive.

"Really? Your eyes are poisonous enough. Can you tell me who is eyeing me now?"

Carter was not surprised that HT Company was targeted by capitals.

Just as Jim gave a high valuation of 2 million US dollars and rushed into the game.Regardless of the fact that this company has been established for a short time, it has a mature supply system and the fundamentals of revenue that are now exploding.

Whether looking at market potential or business integrity, this company can beat all its fellow start-ups.Compared with many companies with only one business plan, HT that already has a complete system and has generated positive revenue, not to mention VCs who specialize in venture capital are interested, it is private equity funds, that is, PEs who personally end up , Carter is not surprised.

To be honest, with the current situation of ht company, there is no need to consider venture capital.If you need financing, you can already directly start the A round, seed round, angel investment, which is really not very useful.

"It's not a secret, but my level is not high enough, and my knowledge is limited. The only ones I know are Best Capital, Hope Fund, and Ringer Fund in New York; Bay Capital, Torres Capital in Boston; and Sequoia Capital in California, Montreal Fund These, in fact, should be more."

"Hahaha, why don't you just talk about them, why don't you introduce your company?"

Just listening to the names, Carter couldn't tell what the origin of these organizations was.In addition, Carter at this time is not in a hurry to let HT raise funds. After all, the benefits come from the benefits, but the short establishment time is a disadvantage after all.

Now that we are in a hurry to raise funds, the valuation is estimated to be not bad, and the top is tens of millions.Carter plans to wait while the funds turn around.Wait until the scale of HT is bigger and the market share is higher, and then let this little guy enter the capital market to roam.

"We, we don't need to talk about it. Judging from the calm performance of so many capitals interested in ht, I know that my company is out of business."

"Maybe, let's see this matter later. Speaking of it, I'm quite curious, why did Toyota Motor specifically name me to participate in the factory project with the Argyll City Government this time? Even now, in the eyes of the capital I have a little fame here, so it shouldn’t spread to Japan. I don’t know Mr. Toyoda, can you clear up my doubts?”

Needless to say, when he saw that the other party understood that he looked down on ordinary small capital financing, Carter also understood that the other party seemed to be not weak.

translate?Investment bank staff?Toyota last name.
Even if he doesn't know the origin of Akio Toyoda, Carter can be sure that this person is definitely inextricably linked with Toyota Motor.Therefore, after asking a new question, Carter still looked indifferent on the surface, but secretly paid attention to Akio Toyoda's reaction in his heart.

"I don't know the specifics, but I know a little about it. I have been in Georgia for several days with the people from Toyota Motor. We walked around the neighborhood, and the name I heard the most is you."

"Besides, the only construction company nearby is your subsidiary DOG Construction, a large company with more than [-] construction workers. If we can reach a nearby factory construction cooperation, I think it will be a good thing for Toyota. You Make money, Toyota is convenient!"

"Secondly, I hope to use your local influence to take care of their factories. I believe that with your help, Toyota Motor's Georgia factory can produce more smoothly and feel at ease. They don't need to work hard to solve some annoying problems. Yes, there may be ongoing minor annoyances."

While Carter was testing Akio Toyoda, the other party was also listening to Carter's tone.For a mature company like Toyota, they are certainly not afraid of some local messy situations.

But if they had to solve everything in person, it would undoubtedly be a waste of resources.No benefit other than reduced productivity.

Akio Toyoda discussed with his father, if Carter is willing, they don't mind giving Carter a little sweetness.For example, handing over the construction of the factory building to his DOG construction engineer in exchange for a stable production environment in the future.

Listening to the other party saying "they are Toyota cars", Carter always felt that the drama was very good.But considering the Japanese identity of the other party, even if he has nothing to do with Toyota, as a translator, it is not surprising to find out about these situations.

Perhaps the only loophole, or the point that made Carter feel puzzled, was, why did he tell himself the news so easily?
"Hahaha, you are flattering me too much. I am definitely willing to do something that is mutually beneficial. In fact, we Americans should thank you for this. If you can come to Georgia to open a factory, it will be good for the unemployed here. For us, it is the grace of life! As an American and a citizen of Georgia, I am obliged to help if I can help!"

If you don't understand something, simply don't think about it.Anyway, it's only been two days since the official meeting. No matter what plans Toyota has for itself, it will always be out of the blue!
Dealing with Akio Toyoda politely, as the vehicle got closer to Macon, the topic of the two gradually shifted from the factory project to other aspects.
Talking about life, talking about the cultural differences between the United States and Japan, there is not much nutrition, but it does not cool the atmosphere in the car.In this warm atmosphere, the vehicle stopped in front of the hotel where Shoichiro Toyoda stayed.
