Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 56 Preparing for the Plan
"Goodman, how much is our land tax? There is also Highway 23, the traffic flow situation, does the bank have any records?"

Carter, who returned to the bank in a hurry, found Goodman immediately, and the latter suddenly had black lines.
"Land tax. Are you talking about real estate tax? Ours is usually around 0.8%. As for the traffic flow, we are not the traffic bureau, so how could we record this thing. Did you come up with some bad idea?"

"So low?!"

Carter blurted out, he thought he would have to pay a lot of taxes every year after taking the land.As a result, upon hearing this tax rate, it is equivalent to land worth 100 yuan, and only 8 cents per year is required.It took more than a hundred years to catch up with Ben!
"It's not low, okay? Louisiana is low, and their tax rate is less than 0.2%. But why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I just went to see Exon and talked with him. I plan to ask him to use land to repay the loan. Not only him, but anyone near Highway 23 who has not paid the money can use land to repay. I Prepare to take these lands and do some business."

Carter then told Goodman about his thoughts and the content of the conversation with the Exxon couple. Unlike Exxon, Goodman did not immediately object.He had been to Florida and knew Carter had a good opinion.

There is also a little emotion in my heart:
"Then you have to investigate the number of potential customers first. You can find a few more part-time jobs to help you collect traffic flow information. If you want this kind of first-hand information, don't rely on our city's archives. The thing doesn’t know when it was recorded, and it won’t work.”

"There is also the fried chicken restaurant you mentioned. It also needs to be considered whether its taste meets the appetite of passing drivers. If it can be successful, it is really a good business. And this model can be replicated on other roads in the future. .”

"Yes, then I'll find someone to do this right away. You can help collect information about the construction company first. If you want to open a shop on the side of the road, you have to connect the water and electricity lines. This is a big business, so you need to compare it. price."

Compared with opening shops in cities, most of the cost of opening shops on highways definitely comes from infrastructure.After all, there is no water or electricity, so it is impossible to open a shop.Carter's budget in mind is 14 US dollars. If it is not enough, the store may not be able to open.

"Okay, I'll do it. You go!"

After a brief chat, Carter left the bank in a hurry.But after leaving the gate of the bank, Carter was suddenly stunned.
It stands to reason that it is very easy to find someone to do part-time jobs in the United States.Especially this kind of work that can make money by going to the side of the road and recording the passing traffic.Now it's the holidays again, and there are a lot of children who are bored at home.However, Carter hadn't had much contact with his classmates at all. At this time, who to look for and where to look became a problem.
But the problem is not big, after a little dazed, Carter thought of a solution.

"Anna, are you free now? There is something I need to talk to you about."

When he came to the supermarket in the city center, Carter went straight to his sister who was working.I don't know any young people of the right age, Anna should know, and it happens to be able to talk about KFC.

My own restaurant has been opened, but it seems that there is no suitable manpower to manage it.If my sister and that Joey are willing to work in the past, Carter is also happy to be a favor.If the management is good, the restaurant will be given to them, and it can be considered as a contribution to Little Blake's family.

Carter thought very well, but Anna didn't show much face, frowned slightly, and directly refused:

"If you have anything to say, just talk about it here. Didn't you see that I was working? I left my post and ran out as soon as I got to work. The impact is too bad!"

"Well, just to ask if you have any friends or classmates who are not working at home now. I have an urgent part-time job that I need someone to do."

"That's it? Then I'll write you the address, and you can go find them. Nothing else, don't bother me yet."

After being kicked out of the supermarket by Anna in despair, Carter quickly found five young men and women according to the address on the note.Girls are responsible for recording during the day, while boys have to work harder and are responsible for recording traffic flow at night.Correspondingly, boys are paid 1.5 times more than girls.

High remuneration naturally brings high motivation, and even their families are quite supportive.The children didn't have a car, and the adults immediately lent the car to the children, especially the boys who were on vigil at night. What else could they do if they didn't sit in the car in the wilderness.

Seeing the boys borrowing cars from the family, Carter rolled his eyes and thought of an idea to facilitate the payment.As mentioned earlier, children in the United States can get a driver's license at the age of 16, and they can work part-time jobs to earn pocket money at the age of 14 or even younger.In addition, cars in the United States are usually not expensive. In the future, an ordinary second-hand car will usually be enough for several thousand dollars, and you can also get an installment loan.

Therefore, a car is something that almost every American boy owns. The difficulty of buying a car is not much more difficult than that of domestic teenagers buying a motorcycle.However, in the Almond School managed by Mrs. Mary, almost no one has time to work part-time.This has led to the fact that many children in this school have graduated without a car of their own!
They don't have a car, but they have their own!There are some mortgaged cars recovered in the backyard of the bank. The collaterals for small loans are basically vehicles, agricultural machinery and other mechanical products, and real estate for large amounts.It seems that these mortgaged cars are selling!

But it's still the same sentence, the fat man didn't eat it all at one bite, and Carter didn't really care about this small business, he just wanted it to be convenient.After arranging the work of the men and women, Carter continued to visit the debtors in the next few days while waiting for the return of news from all parties.

The large number of people visiting here means that there will be more monsters and ghosts.I met a family who wanted to be an old Lai, but there was really no good way to repay the loan, and I could only take back several mortgaged items
Four days passed in a flash. On this day, Carter was standing in the backyard of the bank and taking stock of the collateral assets:
A total of nine cars were collected, most of them were Dodge or Ford cars, which are cheap cars in the United States.If they were all sold, it would usually be less than $[-].There are also various mechanical equipment, such as the cutting bed recovered from the logging factory, the plastic sealing machine recovered from the beverage packaging factory, etc., which are in a mess. Carter can't figure out how much these things are worth, so he entrusts Goodman to transfer these things Let's sell it, just keep the car. There are two sets of properties
Just as Carter was thinking about how to deal with the repayment of these odds and ends, five part-time youths came back together.

"Mr. Black! Our work is done, do you think this is still qualified?"

"Okay, let me see, thank you for your hard work."

After taking the form from the lead boy, Carter glanced at it roughly.The form is very simple. Every two hours is a time period. Each time period is divided into two categories: large vehicles and small vehicles. Every time a vehicle passes, it is recorded and a total amount is calculated at the end.

The first few tables are normal, and the traffic flow is more in line with Carter's expectations.When he saw the third watch, his expression was slightly surprised.

This form records the passing vehicles during the night time. In addition to the two classifications of large and small vehicles defined by Carter, this person also specially added records about the types of vehicle transportation.For example, how many vehicles transport building materials, how many vehicles transport mail, etc.
"Who made this watch?"
