Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 91 Quiet Changes
"Some work arrangements require a few people. Chief William of the police station plans to recruit two new police officers. I have the right to recommend."

Carter said with a smile while picking up an apple from the fruit basket in the kitchen, and walked to the cleaning sink to wash it.

It's rare to be reborn with a good skin, so Carter doesn't want to make himself fat.Eating a piece of fruit before a meal can not only cushion the stomach and eat less carbohydrates, but the fruit acid deposited in the stomach can also promote the digestion of food.

"Police? You mean, can you recommend Levin to be a policeman in our Douglas?"

Jenny was surprised that such a big boy was actually more powerful than her husband, but she also hesitated to speak.

"Yes, the person I recommend has no problem getting a job. Well, if Lucas wants to come, that's fine too. I have two spots."

Seeing Jenny's twisted expression, Carter quickly guessed what she was thinking.Levin is the son of Victor Black. From the surname, it is not difficult to see that this is a relative of Carter's father. In Chinese terms, this Levin is Carter's cousin.

Since the father's cousin was given a place, it seemed unreasonable not to give it to the cousin.Taking a bite of the apple, Carter added with a grin.

"This won't embarrass you, will it?"

Jenny's eyes lit up, and then she was a little worried.If arranging this matter will embarrass Carter, then Lucas or something, go as far as you can
"No, it's all negotiated, and the work is not difficult. Carlos will teach them what they don't know. It's just that I don't have anyone I can trust right now. I need them to come and help me. Okay, I'll go first Take a shower upstairs and come down later."

There are two places in the police station. Carter originally planned to directly get the two boys in the restaurant, Joey, the prospective brother-in-law, and Chris, who has the same name as his father, but after careful consideration, he gave up.

The job of the American police is relatively stable, and the income is not bad, which can basically guarantee the upper middle income level in the local area.But development is extremely limited.After all, in the United States, the upper limit of being a policeman is too low, and it would be pretty good to be a deputy chief in a lifetime. As for the chief, that is a low-flown position.Once the mayor changes, the bureau chief must follow suit, and it won't last long at all.

In addition, give the two places to relatives.Carter thinks it is also a good thing. They will take root here when they are policemen in Douglas. When the day comes when he leaves here, if Jenny is unwilling to go out with him, then with her two nephews, she can also help him take care of them. two.

In addition, the most important thing is that Carter is very disgusted with family business.In my core business, even a relative should not even think about getting involved. As for the non-core business, it’s best not to let them get involved, even if it’s restaurants and gas stations that I don’t value. I don't want to open this mouth.

"Well, Douglas's stage is still too small."

After just understanding why it is always necessary to prepare as much capital as possible before starting a business, Carter, who was taking a hot shower, understood why many companies gather in specific locations.

Enterprises in certain industries are used to gathering together in a certain city or a certain area. There may be agglomeration effects, tax policy preferences, etc., but there is definitely one reason that is at the core, and that is to facilitate talent training or recruitment. !

In a small city like Douglas that doesn't even have a university, it is impossible for you to expect a super enterprise to emerge here.Super companies may be born here, but they will definitely move out in the end.It's like adm was born in Delaware, but it has grown in Illinois.

After a soft sigh, life continued.

For the next two weeks, Carter's life was uneventful and tight.During this period, in addition to going to Chevron to finalize the franchise and oil supply agreement, Goodman helped coordinate the construction team's entry and other activities, and Chevron's engineers helped plan the standardized construction of the gas station, so Carter didn't need to worry about it.

According to the news broadcast on TV, the price trend of silver is still hot.As the background of the "big banker" International Metal Investment Company was gradually exposed, a large number of retail investors and securities brokers, as Julian guessed, swarmed up like hyenas with red eyes, continued to rob silver, and frantically pushed higher than the price of silver.

At this time, the price of silver has broken through 33 US dollars, a full increase of 22 US dollars compared to one and a half months ago, an astonishing 200% increase.Seeing this scene, Carter could only say "I'm so fucking crazy" as Julian sighed before.

As for the fact that he left early and lost a lot of money, Carter was really annoyed at first, and regretted that he didn't listen to Julian's advice and keep it in his hand for a while before clearing the warehouse.Later, under the self-consolation of "satisfaction and happiness", Carter gradually calmed down and watched the vicissitudes of the field quietly from the perspective of an outsider.

In addition to silver, the Federal Reserve, which Carter has never dared to relax, has also begun to act.No, it should be said that the Fed’s actions have already started. Last month, that is, on October 10, Eastern Time, the Fed under the leadership of Volcker announced that it would adopt monetarist policies to moderately increase the money supply Announcement of a series of policies or measures to be implemented, such as reducing the focus on the short-term federal funds rate.

To be honest, Carter was stunned when he first heard the news.He didn't understand a lot of Barabara's words, but the "moderate increase in money supply" really challenged Carter's nerve sensitivity.
How about increasing the money supply?Nonsense, if we increase the money supply, this inflation will be impossible to fight, and Carter in the White House will not have a bad relationship with Volcker, will he?

Confused, Carter chose to observe quietly. Logically speaking, this should not happen.Whether it is history or people in this era, they are telling themselves that there is a high probability that Volcker will shrink the currency, and it is impossible to issue more.

After waiting quietly for so long, Carter can finally feel at ease.Because the federal funds rate has gone up!

Starting from the announcement of the news on October 10, the Fed's discount rate rose by 6 percentage points in the first response.The so-called Fed discount, in a simple and rough understanding, is the subsidized cash that the Federal Reserve gives to commercial banks.

You are in urgent need of money now, ok, I can subsidize you a sum of money, but you have to give me interest.Compared with the long-term loan of the Federal Reserve to the savings bank, the discount to the commercial bank is usually very short, and the shortest loan cycle even reaches the point of overnight repayment.

And with the rise in the discount rate, finally in November, the federal funds rate also started to move.
Like increases in the discount rate, fluctuations in the federal funds rate have also been small.Not to mention the astonishing 14% ​​or more as I know, it is still not a short distance from the [-]% upper limit.

This slight change seemed unchanged to others, but it caught Carter's eyes.I am not afraid that you start to move slowly, but I am afraid that you will not move!As long as you move, Carter is at ease.

"The price trend of silver has been rising all the way recently. According to the investigation of the Chicago Futures Trading Commission, the Hunter family behind the soaring silver price has gradually surfaced. The Hunter family."

The reporters on TV are still talking about the history of the Hunter family, especially advocating the manipulation of soybean transactions in previous years.Just as Carter was about to turn off the TV after getting the information he wanted, he suddenly noticed the trading price of gold on the big market in the background on the TV screen.
