Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 464 Collecting tolls!

"Pablo Escobar?"

Carter remembered seeing a short video about the Colombian drug lord.

The reason why I can remember him is not because I remember how big this drug manufacturing and trafficking business is, but because of two anecdotes that I don’t know whether they are true or not:
First, it was once reported that Pablo's personal wealth might be as huge as 300 billion U.S. dollars, and then his son called the newspaper and said: "You don't know anything about my father's wealth."
The second is that this guy seems to have planned to run for the president of Colombia, and threatened to help the Colombian government repay the foreign debt of 170 billion US dollars, and then
and many more? !external debt? !

Carter raised his brows, the past anecdote suddenly seemed to echo some events.
Is the Colombian government unable to repay the high debt? !Or will it be insolvent in the future? !

"It seems to be the name and so on, how do you know it better than me?!"

"Hahaha, it's not important, it's not important. I was just thinking, since we are on such a passage, can we do something? Maybe it is to prevent the bottomless spread of drugs in Douglas, or can we get out of it? Generate income, such as collecting tolls or something?"

Putting aside the debt problem of Latin American countries, which is far away in the sky, and considering Douglas's current financial situation, Carter couldn't help but use his brains.

"Theoretically speaking, even if we know that a large amount of drugs may pass by Douglas every day. But we have no ability to stop it now. The policeman Bailai is probably in a hurry, and the police station will be blown up. But no matter what How should we put it, we have righteousness after all, if we can make use of it."

"With the profits from drug trafficking, it's not too much to pay Douglas a toll of [-] million U.S. dollars every year? At that time, won't we get rich instantly? Moreover, we can know more clearly how many drugs have passed through us How many drugs have flowed into our Douglas, and whose hands have they flowed into!"

Carter stroked his chin, feeling that this was feasible.Judging from Pablo's son's anecdotal act of showing off his wealth and his willingness to help the Colombian government repay the debt of 170 billion U.S. dollars, [-] million U.S. dollars is not high for this person.

This is one, and secondly, this buddy seems to have a different kind of attitude towards the government system, you can say pursuit, or respect?Carter couldn't describe the feeling.Just thinking about it, Route 23 is one of the three main roads connecting the north and the south within Georgia, and Douglas is stuck on the side of the road, which is almost a unique position.

In particular, Highway 23 is relatively more straight.The state can be connected to Macon and Atlanta, and continue to the northeast, which is the line of Charlotte, Washington, Baltimore, and then New York
It can be said that if it is general cargo to be transported, the route 23 is definitely the best route.We only charge [-] million US dollars in tolls for such a treasured place of geomantic omen, isn't that too much?

In addition, get us dozens of kilograms of drugs every year, make a job with the DEA and the state, ask for credit, and get a little financial support from the state by the way.It's all face and face!

Externally, it can generate income and earn fame; internally, it can also achieve precise control.Knowing how much has entered Douglas, then when the time is right, we can gradually strengthen the anti-drug measures in the city in a targeted manner. This is both development and prevention and control!

"Don't! This is playing with fire!"

Benjamin was taken aback by Carter's idea:
"I don't think I'm a pedantic person. If I can really get a windfall from this, I have no objection to using it to develop our local area. But this matter is too difficult! Who can find that Barb Luo Negotiations, why do people always listen to you? Even if you can’t make it right, you will have your life to go, but you will not come back with your life.”

"Of course, of course, I know. If you were a pedantic person, I wouldn't say that. But, who said we must go to him? Can't he come to us on his own initiative?"

Combined with Pablo's resume from the short video, the focus is on the famous "money or bullets" soul torture.Carter felt that the other party should first ask if Glass asked for money?

As long as you ask, it's easy to talk about!Here, I really want money!

"We can do this: Didn't I just find out that someone was selling drugs to the students in the school? Let's make a fuss about it, stir up emotions, and set up checkpoints at road intersections. I have thought about the inspectors, and I will use those who are not A garbage man who produces things."

"This won't work! They want what Naka wants, who will dare to come to my Douglas?!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, just let them eat and get cards!"

Holding down the excited Benjamin, Carter's eyeballs rolled around:

"Think about it in another way. What do you think when you meet a policeman or inspector on the road and ask for a card for you? Do you think that the government in this place is corrupt? Corruption is common?"

"That's for sure! Are you still saying that you deliberately left a hole for Pablo's group? Let them think that our checkpoint here is easy, as long as they pay money?"

"That's right! How can we go to them for this kind of thing? We have to seduce them! Understand? Seduce them to come over and take the initiative to talk to us about offering sacrifices. Besides, there is an advantage in doing so."

"Relocate some of the people in the city center to the outskirts of the city? At least, temporarily move out a group."

Benjamin draws inferences from one instance.

"Yes, I know your difficulties. But you also have to consider your own votes, Uncle Rob! I don't want Douglas to have a new mayor. You can't be here without you!"

Glancing at Benjamin affectionately, before the latter's goosebumps were about to arise, Carter continued:

"Temporarily moving a group of people out, even if it's only a hundred people, is equivalent to transferring part of the increasingly intensified conflicts in the city center to all citizens. And, believe me, this group of people is also happy. After all, the robbery turned out to be real robbery , now this is not giving them a justifiable opportunity to rob?!"

"And when they are used, it is easy to explain afterwards. For example, why they are used, of course to solve the work problem, right? This is what our city government should do, we just use the wrong people. Once in the future, Pablo's people did not take the bait , we can use dereliction of duty, corruption and other crimes to completely solve this part of the stubborn disease!"

"It would be even better if Pablo's people were hooked! Use Pablo's money to build a municipal prison first, and when the situation is stable, then use the same crime to get them in, and the cost loss will be small. point!"

"Furthermore, there is another advantage of using this group of people. That is, in case these drug dealers really want money, they would rather forcefully break into the checkpoint or kill the inspectors for the drugs they have seized. "

"Sacrificing this group of garbage people is better than sacrificing some real good people, right? In this way, there are three possibilities: Pablo's people bring money to the door; Pablo's people simply ignore this place and transfer the route; and the checkpoint In either case, we have room to advance and retreat, and we have nothing to lose!"
