Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 7 Gentlemen can also swear

"Dear Goodman, it stands to reason that we are also old friends. It is impossible for me, Potter, to ignore my friend's troubles, but now the situation outside is as you can see. Prices change every day, and the money we borrow from the bank, A sum of money is lost, and no matter how high the interest rate is, it can’t compare to the price increase, especially the damn oil! Those monkeys in the Middle East should be hanged!"

Goodman's hand holding the phone receiver was slightly away from his cheeks, trying to protect his ears from the old Porter's "mouth attack", maybe he was still alive?

"It was still $73 a barrel in 3, but now it has risen to $33. Damn it, it can't go up so fast even if it doubles in a year! If I were Carter, I must teach those damn white headscarves a lesson. Oh, this Carter is not talking about Little Blake."

"13 points interest! $50! Pay back in five years!"

Of course Goodman knew that the Carter that Old Porter was talking about was not his own little boss.It's quite a coincidence that the current big boss in the United States, the beloved Mr. President, is also called Carter, but this Carter is a surname.Jimmy Carter, a president from Georgia.However, it is clear that after the fellow president of Georgia came to power, he did not bring any obvious benefits to Georgia.

In order to prevent the old Porter from continuing to chatter, Goodman directly reported his chips.In his mind, no one would be indifferent to the high interest rate of 13 points. After all, this is almost the same as the interest rate of private lending. Usually interbank lending funds do not have such a high interest rate.

In fact, after hearing these words, Old Potter did stop his fluttering of lips.After being dazed for a while, he let out a long sigh.
"You, Goodman, you should know that according to the current price increase, 13 points is indeed high, but it is only high at the moment. Do you understand what I mean? If it is a year, let alone 50 Ten thousand, 100 million cash will be sent to you tomorrow! But for a five-year period, 15 points! I want 15 points of interest, and if you agree, I promise to borrow this money!"

As the saying goes, ask for a lot of money, and pay back the money on the ground.Goodman's mouth is like a lion, and it costs 50 US dollars to open his mouth. Old Porter is not stupid.In addition to being excited about the interest of 13, I also realized that Black Bank must have made a big move to suddenly borrow so much money.

Old Potter would not ask what Black Bank was going to do.Because he knew very well that he would not tell himself if he asked the other party, but this did not prevent him from taking advantage of the fire and looting to get more wool out of it.It doesn't matter even if it loses, half a million dollars can be offset by the assets of Black Bank, not to mention the Douglas market left after Black Bank went bankrupt.

Don't think that half a million dollars is too little. In the 70s, the American economy took off and inflation was inflation, but the purchasing power of the dollar in these years was still very strong. In 79, the median per capita income in the United States was only about US$7000, or US$50, which was almost equal to the annual income of more than 500 middle-class American families.Excluding living expenses and subtracting those who have no savings accounts at all, on average, the $[-] is the savings provided by at least [-] middle-class families.

Why don't you grab it? !

Even though the bottom line Carter gave was 15% interest, Goodman almost swears when he actually heard this figure.Gentleman, gentleman, I am a gentleman!He said a few words in his heart, took two deep breaths, and calmed down his emotions:

"Mr. Potter, the interest rate of 15 points is too high! There must be a rule in bargaining, 14 points, no more!"

"Impossible! An interest rate of 14 points may not be able to catch up with the current price increase in five years!"

"You fart, the ten-year national debt now only has an interest rate of 11.61%! We only borrow it for five years, and you actually ask for an interest rate of 15%. The Jews are not as black as you!"

"Fake Squid, I am a Jew! 14.5! Do what you can, get out if you don't!"

"14! Add another 20."

Facts have proved that the so-called "gentlemen" of gringos can also swear when they should.Not to mention small country bank practitioners like Goodman and Porter, state legislatures, and even members of Congress, when arguing about the distribution of benefits, they still want to slap the table and scold their mothers.

Of course, Carter couldn't see all of this for the time being.

In Mrs. Mary's principal's office, Carter, who was still slamming Fang Qiu and pointing the country, opened his mouth to the Federal Reserve but kept his mouth half a million, and was signing his name on the unequal treaty provided by Mrs. Mary with a full face of grievance.

As a price for leaving school early, Carter came to see the old lady once a week after completing his homework on time.The old lady will personally assess her academic performance. If she fails, then I'm sorry, just stay in school honestly!
The agreement was signed so that Carter wished he could shout out "the king and the general are better than each other", and then he lifted the table and overthrew Mrs. Mary's violent rule.But after carefully comparing his small body with Mrs. Mary's underworld son, Carter gave up this plan sincerely.

Weird isn't it?The principal of a school, but the child has become a gangster
"Okay, you can go now. Carter, remember what you said! Hurry up and go to eat, and you have to go to class in the afternoon after eating."

"Yes, Lady Mary."

After leaving the principal's office dejectedly, Carter took out the car keys and handed them to Jenny:

"You can drive back first, I'll have lunch at school at noon."

Almond School has a very tight schedule, and the first class in the afternoon usually starts at ten o'clock.Not only Almond School, most of the American high schools have similar schedules, and the break between classes is only about 5 minutes, which is basically enough for students to change classrooms, and they can’t squat in the toilet.So even though they leave school early, they still have a lot of lessons every day.

"Forget it, I'll go back, you have to go to the bank in the afternoon."

Jenny pushed the car keys back into Carter's hand, hugged Carter again, and turned to leave.Carter didn't force it either. Anyway, this old lady is called a full-time housewife at a good level, but she doesn't care about childbirth at a hard level.
However, this is nothing at present. The phenomenon of women entering factories and social work in large numbers has not appeared in the United States for a long time.The previous American families were similar to those in ancient China. The men went out to earn money, and the women stayed at home to manage the housework and take care of the children.After the founding of New China, women's liberation in China came earlier than in the United States.

Idle is also idle, walking two steps home can also exercise.Although, she has maintained a good figure
Watching his old lady out of sight, Carter also turned and walked towards the cafeteria in his memory.
