Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 502 The water here is a bit deep
"Coffey County Prison has just been converted to private ownership recently. Now its ownership belongs to an organization called 'Douglas Development Foundation', and Coffey County only has supervision power, but no operational power"

"Douglas? The county seat of Coffey County this foundation and the City of Douglas."

"That's right, this fund belongs to the local municipal government. Of course, the management of the fund is in the hands of a local organization called Black Flag Bank. This is nothing. After all, it is not appropriate for the government to directly manage funds. I found out that A few things that might need your attention."

"Say, Dad, I'm listening!"

Although they are not in the same area, according to the social theory of "six people know the president", some news can be found after all the hard work and hand-to-hand exchange.

Within two days, Brees received a call from home.
"The first place is the property of the prison. Although it is now owned by the Douglas Development Fund, this fund is owned by the Douglas City Government. It seems that it has changed from a county prison to a city prison, but have you thought about a problem? , Bliss, why did they join this fund in the middle? Once they join this fund, the nature of this prison is actually not a public to public, but a public to private!"

Public to private?
This point, Bliss can understand.It seems to be a transfer from public to public. After all, everyone behind the scenes is a government agency, but after such a transfer, there will be an essential difference:

If the Douglas City Government directly manages Coffey Prison, then the cost of the prison is administrative expenses.That is to say, the Douglas city government uses local tax revenue to pay wages to prison guards and other staff, and the maintenance of the prison also pays administrative expenses.

And joined the Douglas Development Fund, then its operation process may be a purely commercial operation.The salaries of prison guards and others will no longer be taken from the administrative expenditure of taxes.This may involve the issue that the prison is responsible for its own profits and losses
And the operator of the fund is Heiqi Bank, such a commercial organization.Then its final essence should be a private prison!
What the fuck? !
private prison
Bliss couldn't help cursing inwardly, the red neck really knows how to play!

"Secondly, the source of money for this fund is a bit strange."

"strangeness?!"

It has not yet recovered from the shock that Georgia in the south is actually tinkering with the privatization of prisons.From the microphone next to Bliss's ear, his father's voice came again:

"Yes, it's just strange. Of course, it's legal from a legal point of view, and the anonymous donation fund is also used for local development, so there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that their anonymous donations are huge! From the listing of the fund to the first remittance of funds , the interval in between is very short, and one after another. Within a month, hundreds of millions of dollars in funds have been raised."

"It's not New York, it's not Chicago, think about it for yourself, how does a small southern city raise so many public donations?"

"Dad, you are suspicious. There is something wrong with the money?"

"It's not a suspicion. It's the money. There must be something wrong! However, that's not something we should investigate. It's the IRS or the FBI who should be concerned. I just want to remind you that this fund is fine on the surface. They There is no problem with the method of getting the money, but there is a problem with the money itself!"

The voice on the phone, after a pause, spoke again:
"Let me put it simply, the water in this small city called Douglas may be a bit deep"

"And they are obviously holding back and planning something. This is not a city that follows the rules. I don't know how many interest forces are hiding in it. Maybe the Shilaozi Fuxing Society that sent you the invitation is there. .It's too far from Portland"

"My personal advice is, don't get involved!"

"I know what you young people think. You want to change, you are aggressive, and you are full of thoughts about how to change the world. But Bliss, you should also know that our family can be what it is today, not by rushing, but by being stable!"

"When the situation is still unclear, the best choice is to wait and see! Take a look first, I think you are not the only one who received the invitation in the school, you can observe other people's reactions first, and wait until the situation becomes clearer , and then make your choice!"

"Okay, I see. Thanks Dad!"

Bliss was not the only one who chose to wait and see. After hundreds of parchment scrolls were sent out, there were less than a handful of people who really responded quickly.This did not exceed the expectations of Carter and the others.
Carter was not even surprised to find a few familiar parchment scrolls occasionally in a trash can by the side of the road.We're not Franklin, it's impossible for everyone to love, isn't it?
"Carter, pay attention recently. Some people reported that the board of directors disclosed student information in violation of regulations. Rice helped you suppress this matter. But in the future, it is better to do less of this kind of thing, at least, don't be so blatant!"

"Hahaha, okay, I'm going to trouble you. If it's convenient, please help me make an appointment with Chairman Rice to have a meal together tomorrow night."

Melinda's reminder was heard in Carter's ears, and it passed with a smile.

It's all an exchange of interests, and Carter doesn't need to be grateful to Chairman Rice who helped him suppress these accusations.To put it bluntly, if he hadn't promised the other party that he could conditionally support a wave of people he recommended, he wouldn't have helped him get information, would he?
Compared with this normative risk issue, Carter is more concerned about another issue:
"Melinda, someone should be leaving, right? Over there at the medical school."

"Yes, Jeff has already left school and went to the Emory University Hospital you arranged for him. I'm curious, isn't there a hospital in your hometown? Why?"

"Hey, the new hospital is still under planning. The land has just come out, and no construction has started yet. I'm afraid the old hospital has poor facilities and won't be able to keep people! Moreover, I can't test their true level. The hospital should be bigger. There are also many intractable diseases. Coincidentally, I have a little contact with Emory University, so let’s arrange to go there.”

Touching his nose, Carter smiled coyly:
"Besides, you have to be careful. We are acquaintances, and we can say in private that this club was established with me as the center, but to the outside world, right? The directionality should not be too obvious, especially when it comes to recruiting new people on this basis. Stage. If the direction is too strong, people also have a temper, okay?!"

"Can be admitted to Yale, who is not a genius boy? He dreams of changing the world every day, and now he suddenly tells them that he wants to serve someone, or even be an assistant. Do you think they can do it?"

"Also, let's talk from the bottom of our hearts, and I don't want to make my personal color too heavy. I want to build a platform where they can make friends with each other. I, or others, have other social resources, and they can also connect with each other. Come in and really help everyone have a good development”

"When they get rich, they won't forget me, right? My purpose can still be achieved, so no matter where they go, it's a good thing. By the way, Melinda, you're leaving school soon, Any plans for the future?"
