Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 40 The terrifying industrial city
Carter doesn't care what investment philosophy Quantum Fund adheres to.Knowing about the future is enough to know that you can make money, as long as you can make money, it doesn’t matter what your idea is
Compared with Soros's speech, Carter paid more attention to Julian's plan to leave Kidd's company to fly solo.Whether it was the previous contact or the display of Julian's circle of friends this time, Carter felt that this person was not simple.

The investment company or fund he created after his solo flight will not be too bad in the future.It is also a target worthy of investment, even compared to Soros, Lynch and others who just met, Julian is naturally more familiar, and Carter is more assured to entrust the money to him.

But no matter what, Julian doesn't have the idea of ​​flying solo right now, or he doesn't want to fly solo in such a hurry.Then Carter has no choice but to temporarily invest the funds in the Quantum Fund and the Magellan Fund.

The investment of Quantum Fund is more troublesome. Due to the high leverage of hedge funds, in order to bypass the supervision of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Carter had to find a way to transfer the money overseas first, and then transfer the money as a foreign investor who is not a US citizen. The money is put into the Quantum Fund.

Carter has always felt that this kind of operation is like taking off his pants and farting to cover up, but thinking about it, he also entrusts Julian to do this operation, so he doesn't need to worry about it, and he doesn't care about it.

On the contrary, the investment of Magellan Fund is much more convenient.On the second day after the banquet, Carter couldn't wait to call Peter Lynch, sign an investment contract, and after transferring [-] million US dollars to the fundraising account of the Magellan Fund, he obtained an investment certificate. This investment Even if it's done.

In Carter's mind, it is safer to put the [-] million he earned into the Magellan Fund.And the venture capital of [-] million will be invested in the Quantum Fund to fight big with a small amount.At the Black Bank in my hometown, after the credit crisis is resolved, I usually don’t need to store too much cash. I just leave tens of thousands of dollars in my hand to cover travel expenses, which is more than enough.

After quickly solving the major issue of investing money, Carter does not plan to stay in New York for a long time.After bidding farewell to Julian and agreeing that the investment certificate of Quantum Fund would be mailed back to Douglas by him, Carter continued the journey with Melis.

When he entered New York, he had a huge sum of six million dollars, but when he left New York, he only had tens of thousands of dollars in his pocket.Carter, who was driving in the car, couldn't help but feel a little funny.But when he thought about the benefits that these two investments might bring him in the future, Carter's heart became hot.

Now it's all right, I don't need to worry about lending.Enjoy life with peace of mind. After more than ten years, I will have money to invest in Microsoft, Google, and Alibaba
Out of New York all the way west, the first to arrive is the Great Lakes.The Great Lakes region is often referred to as the Northeast Industrial Belt of the United States. After leaving New York, it goes south along Lake Huron, briefly passes through Pennsylvania, and then enters Ohio.

On a whim, Carter planned to see the industrial pearl that Rogers said.Cleveland, Ohio, the nearest big city to Lake Erie, also happens to be one of the most well-known cities in the United States in the future.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are one of Carter's favorite NBA teams in the future!Why is it one, because he is a pure fake fan.
I was a fan of the Bulls when I first learned about Jordan, and then I became a fan of Kobe after knowing that Jordan had retired, but after Kobe's accident, this guy turned his head and became a fan of James in an extremely shameless manner
In exchange for a sense of shame like a "family slave with three surnames", Carter drove towards Cleveland in high spirits.As a result, before entering the urban area, Carter saw the terrifying scene in front of him that looked like the end of the world.

Thick smoke soared into the sky, almost completely obscuring the sun.Rows of towering blast furnaces stood straight on both sides of the avenue into the city, and there were thick and thick smoke on the top of the blast furnaces straight into the sky.

The dim red sunset leaped left and right in the thick gray-black smoke, and fell to the ground through the gap.The city in front of Carter's eyes seemed to be shrouded in a huge mountain fire. The shadows of some dark high-rise buildings were mixed with stern red, making the whole city extremely gloomy
Why do you call this a pearl? !Carter's heart is roaring
"Brother, it looks scary here, why don't we go?"

He braked and stopped on the side of the road, listening to Melis's words, Carter nodded again and again:

"I can't go, I can't go, this is so terrible! This smog is simply amazing"

Carter may understand the pride of Americans these days. After all, it is not easy to have such exaggerated pollution emissions in other places.In the hearts of Americans these days, this is not pollution, it is the charm of industry and the visual impact of large machinery!
But for Carter, to live in this kind of city, no, even if it's just for tourism, it would be too much for him.People who have never seen the period of foreign industrial development always like to talk about how heavy the industrial pollution of the motherland will be in the future. Carter also admitted that there will inevitably be a painful period of development at the cost of destroying the environment in industrial development.

But it was amazing to Carter that it could be destroyed to such an extent that the thick smoke obscured the sunlight.The current Cleveland is not weaker than the smoggy London that Carter once saw in the photos!

In places like this, take a breath.The content of smog is definitely much higher than that of oxygen. Thinking about the two investments he hadn't warmed up yet, Carter decisively chose to turn around.This ghost place, don't wait!

"Let's slip away and go camping by Lake Erie at night?"

"it is good"

Between the shame of sleeping in a tent with Carter and opening a hotel in the city in front of her for a second, Melis, who was also frightened by the scene in front of her, quickly made a decision.

Sleeping on it can only lead to pregnancy, but entering this city, it may be fatal! In comparison, the life of a dog is more important!
And besides, it seems that there is nothing wrong with my brother, right?

Under Melis' complicated thoughts, Carter turned around decisively and headed straight for Lake Erie.It wasn't until the lake area approached and the scenery became clearer and brighter that Carter barely got rid of the shadow brought by Cleveland.Facing the setting sun that was about to set, Carter drove the car out of the road until he reached the lake, found a small slope with a leeward side, and then stopped the car.

"Okay, let's rest here at night. Come and help set up the tent, let me see how this thing is set up."

Walked to the rear of the car, opened the trunk, took out the tent and manual, and Carter looked at it as he walked.After reading the instruction manual and starting to work, Melis came late and started to build the bedroom for the night together.

After finishing his work, Carter went around to collect some dead wood branches, and built a bonfire in front of the tent.The symbolic meaning of this bonfire is completely greater than the actual meaning. Sitting in front of the small bonfire, the brother and sister who neither need to roast food nor to keep warm feel quite novel.

"Hehehe, this feels right. Wait, I'll play a song in the car again. There seems to be beer, do you want some?"

There is always no shortage of snacks when traveling, and it is not a pity that there is no barbecue carter.This kind of life of leisurely admiring the night view and drinking two glasses of wine by the campfire, Carter used to live just looking at other people's photos and fantasizing.It's quite fresh when you actually experience it.

"okay."

When Carter returned with two bottles of beer in high spirits, Melis was almost struggling.Quietly poked Carter with his finger:
"That. Do we sleep together at night?"
