Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 665 Late Night Visitors
"Who is it?"

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Olivia's original words.At the same time, it also surprised the two of them.
From Carter's understanding, Olivia is a person with a very small social circle. Except for a good relationship with that kind Latino neighbor, all social interactions are basically limited to the Yale campus.

Who is it that came to visit so late? !

"Excuse me, is this Professor Olivia's house? We are here to find Mr. Carter Black. It is the address given to us by a Mr. Rick."

The address of "Prof. Olivia" made Carter want to laugh.But since the other party mentioned Rick, they were looking for him again.
Carter didn't think much about it, he stepped forward and opened the door
"Counselor Lin?! And Mr. Huang, why are you here so late?! Please."

At night in New Haven, being called at the door by these two people who should have been in New York.Surprised, Carter subconsciously invited the guests in, and then realized that this was not his home.
"It's okay, since it's your friend, come in! I'll take Lisa to Mensa's house first, and you two can talk slowly."

"Thank you!"

Carter nodded gratefully at Olivia, and while continuing to invite the two to enter the door, he couldn't help shouting at Olivia who was going upstairs:
"If it's convenient, Olivia, you can watch TV with Lisa upstairs. It's so late, don't bother Ms. Mensa anymore!"

Stopping, looking at the three pairs of eyes looking at her at the door, Olivia paused.Suddenly turned and went downstairs:
"Alright. Let me make you some coffee."

Silently watching Olivia making coffee, silently watching Olivia deliver coffee.
Until Olivia's figure disappeared on the stairs.
Carter finally couldn't hold back anymore:

"Hey!! What kind of eyes are you looking at?!"

"Cough cough Carter, you have a problem! Your friend told us that you are going to take violin lessons, but this"

Just when Mr. Huang, who was not familiar with Carter, almost stood up and apologized, Counselor Lin spoke with a teasing expression on his face.At the same time, he didn't forget, he slapped his companion's thigh with a slap, signaling the other party to calm down.
"I told me that we are pure, at most we can be regarded as a relationship between a teacher and a friend, do you believe it?"

Carter opened his mouth, only to find that he didn't know how to refute at all
"Forget it, don't worry about it, the two of you came to New Haven so late, are you here to catch rape? Mr. Huang, haven't you returned yet?"

"Mr. Black, I will return home tomorrow!"

"Don't be so nervous, Old Huang! Carter's personality is very easy-going, forget it, if it's not an old classmate, I really don't want to care about you!"

After complaining about an old classmate, Counselor Lin turned his head, looked at Carter and explained:
"We are not as leisurely as you! If it weren't for Lao Huang, the mud would not be able to support the wall, and I don't want to disturb you so late."

"Carter, you have been to China. I think you should be aware of our situation and investment environment. I don't play tricks. Lao Huang managed to win this opportunity to come to the United States this time. You came. But why, this guy is as timid as ever, and he can't understand the words. It's been a few days, and he hasn't had the nerve to visit you. "

"No, he's going back to China tomorrow, and there's nothing he can do tonight. I really don't want to waste this opportunity to come to the United States. So I asked me to bring him to visit you. If you are willing to listen, then I asked Lao Huang to tell you about their industrial advantages in Chengdu and even Sichuan, including the preferential policies for attracting investment and the investment environment. If you don’t want to listen, then we apologize now and leave immediately.”

Well, case solved!
From the moment he saw Mr. Huang appearing outside Olivia's house, Carter guessed what the two of them were coming for.

Now, as Counselor Lin revealed the relationship between the two, the case of why Chengdu noticed him has also been solved!

"You are so unkind. My time is not that precious! Since you, Counselor Lin, have led people to find New Haven, can I not listen to you?!"

After joking with Counselor Lin, Carter took out cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to the two.

There's no harm in listening to it, is there?

Besides, Carter has never been against investing in China, and is even eager to try it.At the luncheon that day, Mr. Huang was not given an affirmative answer to go to Chengdu. It was purely due to his own time, and his current identity was a little sensitive, so it might not be possible to make the trip.

After all, it is different from before I entered Yale. I still have the identity of an ROTC student!

On the other hand, the cost of capital!
As the saying goes, eat a cut and grow a wiser.

At the beginning of the time travel, although the United States was doing well, psychologically speaking, it was a strange country after all.Regardless of what it looks like on the surface, subconsciously, stepping on the land here always makes Carter lack a sense of psychological security.

Ever since, it created an embarrassing situation where the exchange rate fell every year and the exchange rate widened and widened.
If you only look at the profit in RMB, then the rate of return of the Home Inn project is not bad, even considerable!After all, the hotel industry, even the hotel industry that has been upgraded one step further, is undoubtedly a heavy fixed asset industry.

In the early days of the reform, when self-employed people were able to open a hotel, it was very powerful. The large-scale and chained modern hotels, whether in terms of influence or brand effect, instantly pulled up.What's more, there is also a large demand gap. At least in some leading cities, there is a serious imbalance between demand and supply!

In this environment, it is difficult for hotels not to make money.But if you look at it from the perspective of the dollar, once you want to take those profits back to the United States, hey!That would be a lot of fun, and it would not be too much to say a loss.
But the income is completely out of proportion to the effort!
In this environment, this moment is obviously not the most favorable time for investing in China.After all, this kind of investment usually starts with a million dollars. This is not a small amount of money like buying hundreds of chairs!One million dollars, it is more than enough to directly buy that 7469 factory, oh no, the factory that produces chairs!

But the problem is, I don't need a factory that produces chairs! !

But now, with land investment, the land consumed by the hotel project is already quite a lot!In the previous life, I bought the courtyard house that I could not dream of, but I never lived in it once.
Some things, once owned, will lose a lot of interest.

Coupled with the fact that he has more and more projects at hand, to be honest, Carter has already looked down upon simply investing in land in China, which is an investment behavior without technical operations!
After all, China's land prices, house prices, etc., will really start to rise sharply, and it will take two to 30 years.For such a long time, the cost of own capital retention is not low.

In the past few decades, what can I do with this money? !
In particular, on the US side, some of my current projects and investments still have a very optimistic future prospect! !
Therefore, from a psychological point of view, even if he knows that Chengdu will develop well in the future, Carter does not have much desire to invest at this time.

But then again, it never hurts to listen, does it?
