Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 540 The UAW with chicken feet exposed
At a price of $25.56 per share, a simple and crude calculation of your worth:

In HT alone, Carter's worth exceeded 4 million US dollars.However, the so-called worth of [-] million U.S. dollars, apart from sounding bluffing, Carter really didn't feel any difference before and after the listing
The funds raised in the secondary market cannot enter their own pockets.Other shareholders generally don't care about the small money that you take out for yourself, but no one is short of this kind of small money; if you really need such a small amount of money, it's not enough!

At the same time, the foundation stone of the new hospital in Douglas was laid and construction started!

A hospital headed to the South Georgia Medical Center. In terms of planning, in addition to the main outpatient building, the inpatient building, medical technology building and other supporting buildings are all under planning simultaneously.This is undoubtedly a big project
The newly launched large-scale project not only allowed construction workers and building materials merchants such as Carter and Griffin to make money, but the launch of this project also allowed the population of Douglas to continue to increase.The number of stores in the service industry has also increased slightly
As time entered into May, the Toyota plant in Argyll was also officially put into operation.The construction of the factory building is really not difficult. The reason why it has been delayed until now is the installation and commissioning of the production equipment, which is the most time-consuming.However, these things have little to do with Carter, and Carter has always left them behind until
"Hey, Carter, when will you come to New York! I'll buy you a drink!!"

"Although I'm a bit... um, suspected of insider operations, but investing in the stocks or bonds of plastic chemical factories and rubber factories near Georgia is very profitable now!"

"So, you've been promoted? Congratulations!"

"Hey, isn't this a coincidence? When will you come?"

Akio Toyoda's call to announce the good news was heard in Carter's ears. Apart from making people smile, there was no disturbance in his heart.Just like what Akio Toyoda said, with the inside information, or with the support of completely credible inside information, if your investment can lose money, that would be abnormal!
However, the next paragraph of Akio Toyoda made Carter smell something wrong:
"Please come to New York, besides drinking, there is one more thing I want to talk to you about. Well, on behalf of our family"

"Oh? What happened?"

"In Indiana, more than forty Toyotas were smashed at one time."

"Smashing the car? Is it a violent conflict, or"

"No, it's aimed at us! We suspect that those so-called workers and the masses who smashed Toyota cars, and those who clamored to let us Japanese car companies get out of the United States are all UAW people."

Although Akio Toyoda didn't say it clearly on the phone, Carter understood the meaning of the other party:
It's time to do your part!

"What is your current production capacity?"

"We're better off. If it's pure Toyota, the increase is not particularly obvious. Honda must have the highest production capacity at present, but Toyota is the boss, so we have been targeted. Maybe they also foresee the threat here."

"After all, according to our agreement, our factory did arrange for people to join the Georgia Auto Workers Union, but in Detroit, except for you once, no one from us went there. Not only us, but also other companies didn't go. It doesn't seem like a situation that Detroit can accept."

"Okay, I see. I'll go to New York sometime."

As the saying goes, take people's money and eliminate disasters for others.

The struggle of interests does not seem to be as simple as I once thought.

Sitting in the Georgia labor union, I can certainly guarantee the stable production of Toyota and Nissan in the Georgia plant.But the products you produce, cars, you always have to sell them out, right?
to foreign markets.
"They are putting pressure! I hope you can't bear it, and then take the initiative to 'surrender' to the trade union. What do you think?"

After briefly reading the reports in Indiana, Carter put down the newspaper in his hand, took a sip of the whiskey on the table, and looked at Akio Toyoda.

From a certain point of view, Carter, who has a job in the auto union and has a golden hair and white skin, has a bit of "pressure on Toyota" in his eyes at this time.
"More than [-] cars were smashed. Actually, we don't feel bad. To put it simply, those cars have already been sold, and we have received the money. It's just a bad signal!"

"In addition to what happened in Indiana, the FBI also arrested Ayukawa's Hitachi manufacturing company and six French executives. The reason is also nonsense, industrial espionage!"

Akio Toyoda, who was also sipping whiskey, was worried:
"These things, a series of outbreaks, the family is worried"

"Is the United States going to attack you?"

Carter smiled playfully, and couldn't help shouting:

it's coming it's coming!It comes with the pocket method!Show your chicken feet!Finally couldn't help it!

Classic counterintelligence, alright!As long as it conflicts with my interests, I suspect that you are a spy. You want to steal American technology and kill you!
"You should have been mentally prepared for this. You can't expect this country to be charitable, can you?"

"Of course not, we never have that kind of unrealistic fantasy. It's just that behind this incident, we guess, there may also be the shadow of the UAW. Because the cars of Honda, Toyota, and Nissan were smashed. , Nissan's car is fine, but something happened to Ayukawa's Hitachi."

"Let's say I was manufactured by Hitachi, which violated the interests of American products, but what about Honda? Why are our Toyota and Ayukawa's houses being messed up now, but there is nothing wrong with Honda?!"

"Maybe their factory is in Ohio, and their engine factory is also here! That's the core component. Perhaps in the UAW's view, as long as you knock down the two thorns, it will be sooner or later that the honest man Honda will be in the bag." things, so."

"Yes! That's right! I think so too!"

Akio Toyoda patted his thigh, nodded in approval and said:

"Although the Kawashima family is the current helm of Honda, it is not like us. Pressure from all sides comes, and there is a lot of discussion inside. It is not like us. It is a seamless iron plate. Solve it through external pressure. There are quite a few voices among them who propose to attach themselves to the auto union."

"In this part of the United States, the auto union, which controls more than one million workers, is still very scary! Not everyone has the courage to stroke the tiger's whiskers. We actually have different voices here, but they can't change anything. Or Said, we only dare to play small tricks in front of the UAW and fight head-on, definitely not!"

Thinking about Akio Toyoda's words, he tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers.

After discussing for a long time, the meaning conveyed by Akio Toyoda on his behalf, simply put, is that he hopes to see himself take some action.Don't be an auto union georgia president with little action
And Carter frowned slightly:

According to the agreement, I only need to ensure that the production of the Toyota plant in Georgia will not be disturbed by messy things.At this point, I have completely achieved it.Therefore, things outside of Georgia are not where I should work hard at all, and I don't have that obligation!
Just after comprehensive consideration.
