Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 678 Exhibition Center and Public Course Center

Participating in the large-scale development of an urban area, there is no doubt that this is a very lucrative thing!

But again, it is also a very risky thing.

Especially in the United States, where the concept of the city is a settlement from the bottom up.

If the development plan goes well and the first-mover advantage is seized, all kinds of cheap land can be taken at will.The central location can be occupied casually. Of course it is so cool!

But if the plan doesn't go well, in this kind of large-scale construction, the investment will be super doubled in heavy fixed assets!Once you lose, the loss is not a small number
"Mr. McCall, can you see if you can temporarily put aside housing construction. In other words, first approve some low-cost housing projects, and first solve the housing problems of people working in West Haven."

"In the first stage, we don't consider keeping people permanently, but only consider attracting people! Tourism is the focus of West Haven's current development. For example, Mr. Black's giant panda house has attracted some hotel groups to invest. Opening is the same. Tourists always want to live and spend!"

"I think we should concentrate our efforts first to complete the transformation of the old port. Turn it into a yacht port to attract yachts and sailboats from Long Island to come and berth. In this way, nearby businesses can also be driven. Fishing gear Ah, catering, wait."

Just as Carter was thinking, a congressman took the lead in putting forward his own ideas.Then, someone immediately retorted:
"The construction cost of the yacht port is not low, this is one; second, our infrastructure has not kept up, what do we use to attract them to come and berth?"

"I thought about it, free of charge! Free of yacht management fees, even entry and exit fees, dock maintenance fees, etc.!"

"Heh, then who will invest in such a project? For charity?!"

"Our city government gives subsidies!"

"What about the money?!"

"Tax increase!"

"I'll add you"

Countless asterisk coins are omitted below.
Even though he has long been accustomed to the characteristics of American politics, Carter is still a little tactful.

While lamenting that the minds of these congressmen are really big, Carter also feels that this plan is somewhat unreliable.After all, the control of yacht entry and exit is under the control of the Connecticut Maritime Bureau and belongs to the state's fiscal revenue.

The yacht management fee belongs to the yacht trusteeship company near the wharf; the wharf maintenance fee belongs to the wharf owner.
It can be said that the interests are in disarray.If it is a government subsidy, the asking price of each company is different, how to negotiate?How to give, besides, how much is the municipal tax in New Haven now.
If all the investment is here, do you still need to build your infrastructure?

If you want to build a wealthy area, then the green coverage, right?Where does the input for non-profit projects such as parks come from? !
"Okay, stop arguing!"

Mayor McCall, who was arguing about tax increases and non-tax increases, slapped the table:
"It is impossible to raise taxes. Raising taxes now is tantamount to forcing our few citizens to flee. So, Congressman Madeleine, there is no need to mention government subsidies and support for the construction of seaside projects. New York Haven, I can’t come up with the money!”

"Mr. Black, do you have any ideas?"

"I'm thinking about what Senator Madeleine said, and I think his words are not unreasonable. At this stage, developing the tourism industry would be a good choice"

Participating in this kind of meeting, Carter had long been prepared to be called, but he stood up unceremoniously at this time.

"From an economic analysis, the inflation rate is declining rapidly and is expected to return to normal levels by the end of this year. At the same time, the Fed's pace of raising interest rates has slowed down, and the previously rising long-term treasury bond interest rates have pushed the dollar to a strong position .”

"Everyone should be familiar with the life we ​​have experienced in the past few years. From the perspective of cyclical laws, the inflection point of market recovery has arrived. In recent years, the tourism industry may still be sluggish. But it should not take three years. Demand should be high! Especially since we are close to Boston and New York”

"Building a beautiful West Haven area around tourism is also beneficial to our plan. Now I am just thinking about which tourism projects are suitable for us, and what tourism resources can be developed in the West Haven area! "

"The sea is one, sailing clubs, surfing clubs, and half-life training institutions are fine; forests that are a little bit closer to the land, such as Roosevelt Forest, can develop a project similar to a campsite or a caravan camp?"

"In addition to tourism, I think the exhibition center will also be a good direction. Similarly, some educational training, social-oriented education and training, open classes and the like may also be moved to the West Haven area."

"It is a reasonable choice not to ask for permanent population for the time being. We have to find a way to get people to come and let them spend in New Haven, so that the citizens can have money; the citizens have money, and the city can have taxes; with Only by taxing can we have better infrastructure construction and attract more people.”

"Mayor McCall, I want two lots."

After roughly speaking his thoughts, Carter stood up and walked to the front of the conference room
"One piece is here, on the south side of Captain Thomas Road! But I don't plan to develop this land into a residential area, but to build a convention and exhibition center. I've been here before. It's at the corner of the seaside. The scenery is very good. It won't look like this level of convention and exhibition. It is very low, and the cost of holding the exhibition in New Haven will be lower than that in New York or Boston.”

Exhibition Center? !
McCall's eyes lit up, and the eyes of many people present lit up!
This is not a pure entertainment consumption, but a business-oriented behavior.Business operations also pay attention to cost control. If the distance is not far and the convenience is sufficient, as long as the New Haven Convention and Exhibition Center does not look bad, it will
It seems that there is no need to worry about business at all! !

"In the end, these businessmen are still out of their minds, hey, are you interested, let's find some people to cooperate and do one together?"

"Yes, but why don't we still do supporting facilities? The cost of investing in the convention and exhibition center is a bit too high, and there is still very little development there. Shall we do supporting facilities?! This will avoid everyone robbing each other for business"

"Is there another piece of land?"

Not in the mood to pay attention to the chatter in the conference room, McCall looked at Carter expectantly.Looking forward to his second surprise for himself.
"Here, the west side of Stevenson Road, especially this U-shaped small forest area."

"What do you want here? Are you planning to make an RV camp? But the area here is too small, and I admit that the environment is not bad."

"No, no, no, I plan to build a public class center here. The environment here is good. Although the area is a bit small, it is not difficult to build a large classroom."

"Such a public program center is also necessary to improve the overall image of the West Haven region!"

Backed by Yale, McCall knew that Carter would not lack faculty resources.A public education center will indeed improve the overall image of the region a lot, but...
"In New Haven, I'm afraid not many people are willing to pay to study. The people here don't have that quality. Mr. Black, I really don't like your project."

"Hahaha, it's okay, this public course center, I plan to take a completely free form to teach the public!"
