Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 472 Ten tons a day

After a happy dinner for both guests and hosts, Carter and the two reached another deal.

For $30, Carter personally bought Coca-Cola's 600-acre small farm in Grapevine, Texas.

This transaction is basically a game of tickets.

As part of reciprocity and mutual benefit.Carter bought this well-equipped corn farm. While helping Coca-Cola clean up excess assets, this farm on the outskirts of his hometown can also be used as his retirement home
Or called a resort that pays for feelings
An old dog, a pickup truck. A bottle of beer, a piece of country music.
As the sun sets, there are golden and green wheat waves on both sides, and a dirt path in the middle.Driving in the car, humming a song, taking another sip if nothing happens, and not worrying about drunk driving affecting others in that kind of environment, it's very pleasant!

As for the profit of the farm, that is secondary.

In addition to selling corn to its own HT processing plant, it can also be sold to Coca-Cola's syrup suppliers.According to Goizueta, starting in the 80s, the sucrose syrup originally used in the Coke formula was replaced by high fructose syrup made from corn as the main raw material under his leadership.Although most of Coca-Cola's syrup suppliers are not affiliated with Coca-Cola, they can't afford to offend Carter and Goizueta in the face of referrals from big customers, right?

Nor did Carter expect the corn in these fields to fetch sky-high prices.On the basis of selling at a fair price, with the two major corn consumers standing behind him, it should not be a problem for this farm to maintain a basic balance of profit and loss, and even achieve a small surplus!

"Well, it's getting more and more like a red neck!"

On the way back to Douglas from Atlanta, Carter shook his head self-deprecatingly.

It will be three years soon. Traveling to the present, the sense of psychological distance with this era and this country is slowly disappearing.
"Uncle Rob, how's the situation?"

In the afternoon of the next day, in the morning, convey the intention of cooperation with Coca-Cola to Mr. Guinness, so that he can make preparations.Carter walked to the city hall not far from the bank
"We seem to have underestimated the destructive power of those people. It's only been less than a month, half a month, and this has happened? I see that there are quite a few people demonstrating outside, and they all beg me to advise you to quickly withdraw that Checkpoint!"

"The more repressed people are on weekdays, the more they will unscrupulously indulge the evil in their hearts when they suddenly gain a little power. This is why I opposed using them at the beginning."

Glancing at Carter angrily, Benjamin thought to himself: Why don't you think about who insisted on using this group of people?Are you running to pretend to be a good person now? !
"It is!"

Benjamin's words touched Carter deeply.As the saying goes, "The king of Hades is easy to see, but the imp is hard to deal with"!
Some so-called big figures who are really powerful, regardless of whether they are good or evil behind their backs, at least their image in front of the general public must be kind and kind.If there is a chance, they will smile and shake hands with you, and say a few words of concern
While you feel, wow, so caring and touching, their hearts are actually not disturbed.What you said, the name you introduced yourself, will not leave even the slightest trace in the other party's heart
"Sit down first, the effect is not bad. I have people register a Douglas Development Foundation, and their money will go to the foundation as an anonymous donation. Beginning in December this year, [-] million US dollars per year !"

Benjamin's speech after putting down the pen in his hand brought Carter's thoughts back to reality.However, the next moment.
"Fuck?! So many?!"

[-] million, and [-] million, it seems that there is no difference between those big drug lords.If you want to get it, you can definitely get it, but the problem is, Douglas is just a small city!
This is not Chicago, not New York, if even this kind of place would cost such a big price.
Then they should stop selling any drugs and just do charity!

[-] million US dollars, that is the quotation of his own lion.Psychologically, Carter is content with sixty to seventy million yuan.If [-] to [-] million cash can be invested in the construction of Douglas City every year, the effect will be
Refer to the things you have done in the past, and think about the present.
"It's because of the good location. After we pass here, we can disperse to various places when we arrive in Macon, and the traffic environment is smoother. After all, Georgia has developed transportation. It is the north of the state, and we are on the south side of the state, right? ? If we hadn’t happened to be stuck at this opening, we wouldn’t be able to negotiate this price.”

Benjamin was not too surprised by this price tag, especially after he knew the specific information of the transportation volume.

"In addition, it also contains two special license plates, one worth [-] million US dollars. It's the kind you got before. To be honest, Carter, I'm very confused now. If we do this, I'm afraid we will go to hell in the future! Do you know how big their shipments are?!"

[-] million for a license plate? !
Hearing that, Carter wished he could go home and take off the license plate on the increasingly insignificant Mustang GT.
"How much? Ten tons a month?"

"one day!"

Benjamin raised a finger:
"One day, ten tons! Of course, this is an average number, but it's roughly like this. They have passed by for four days now. Although they didn't check their cars carefully, according to estimates, at least 35 tons of drugs passed by us. , flowed to the land of the United States”

"To be honest, I'm guilty of such a large amount! How much will these things breed after they leave our place? From the perspective of simple values, we are all enough to be murdered at the first level!"

"It's not impossible, this information, to put it bluntly, is what we know now. When we didn't know it in the past, didn't we have no drugs?"

The so-called first-degree murder actually refers to the death penalty.However, the laws of the United States are very strange. Even in states that have not abolished the death penalty, it is difficult to impose the death penalty, especially for drug-related issues, which are not within the scope of the death penalty.

Benjamin said that just to highlight the seriousness of the matter
However, Carter was much calmer on this issue.If it wasn't for the Americans in the 80s who were smashed by a lot of drugs, there would be no Indianization of the United States later, would it?

Carter was just surprised that such a large number of people passed by him without being noticed
Surprised only by geography, not quantity.

"If you really feel sorry for your conscience, let's donate some materials and money to the DEA after we develop! As for now, you and I both know that we can't change this situation, we can't stop it from happening."

"Instead of being annoyed by things that are not controlled by us, I think it is important to consider where the money is used to bring better results!"
