"Hey! Mr. Black... I have heard some rumors recently. It seems that someone is spreading bad news against us in Pilsen! There are rumors outside: Forest Bank has been merged by a bank with very poor assets and may go bankrupt again at any time.

The depositors are a little nervous now, and my neighbor Mrs. Audrey was asking me about it this morning..."

Early the next morning after the phone call with Julian, Carter, who was taking a weekend break, had just entered the bank office when he received a call from William, the manager of Forest Bank.

"Okay, I understand. Later I will arrange for someone to send you one million in cash... By the way, in the rumors, did anyone name us Black Bank?"

"I haven't heard this yet, but I think there should be some. After all, you and Bass..."

"I understand. I give you two tasks now. One is to do a good job in appeasing customers. Don't worry about the money. If you want to withdraw the money, let them take it. Just tell them when withdrawing the money that those rumors are

Fake, Forest Bank has enough capital to protect the rights and interests of depositors after changing owners!"

"The second task is to pay close attention to the unemployment rate and price changes in Pilsen City. That's it for now! Work hard during this period!"

After hanging up the phone, Carter called Goodman...

"Please arrange three cars and security...forget it, I'll call the police station and borrow some people!"

As the merger of Forest Bank progressed gradually, Carter felt more and more irritated. All matters, big and small, involved all aspects, just like leeks in the field. Every time a new crop is cut, a new one sprouts out.

"Let's recruit four more security personnel. The original manpower is already somewhat insufficient."

After Carter finished talking to the police about borrowing a car, Goodman made a suggestion.

"I'm afraid four are not enough, let's recruit eight. In the next period of time, it is estimated that the transfer of funds to and from Pearson will be very frequent, and we also have to be prepared for Old Bass and the others to jump over the wall and do something wrong on the road...

You can help me arrange it, and by the way, give Patterson a call and ask what qualifications are needed to open an escort company."

In the busy situation, Carter's speaking speed gradually became faster:

"There is also Cui Fali. He called me yesterday and told me that the business is so good that the logistics can't keep up. The broiler farms near Douglas are not large in scale, and we don't have enough trucks here. I

Thinking that we still have more than 400 unemployed households in Douglas, I want to outsource this work to them and ask them to help transport the broilers. Well, the wild boar industry can also be encouraged. Give this to Pearson...

"

"Okay, no problem. But if you use a family car to transport broilers, the transport volume is too small and it will be very uneconomical. How about cost control at the restaurant?"

"Ignoring the cost for now, our primary purpose now is to protect citizens' employment."

After being awakened by Julian yesterday, Carter suddenly realized that he had been led into a misunderstanding by Old Bass and the others...

Just like "You should never try to reason with stupid people, because they will pull you into their IQ and then defeat you with their wealth of experience."

My goal is to serve the market. If I engage in a dog-eat-dog banking struggle with them, wouldn’t I be destroying my foundation? Even if I win, it will be a miserable victory.

And if you break out of this strange thinking circle of competing for capital, it is not difficult for Carter to find that the core of this set of fighting methods actually lies in the issue of income and employment.

When citizens have jobs, they have income, and when they have income, they can pay off their debts, and they can deposit excess funds in banks, and then banks can take the money...

Although banks are not allowed to invest directly in businesses now, Patterson is behind you now! The person in charge of the human supervision unit has told you bluntly, giving you the green light to let you do whatever you want.

Then why should I limit myself to the original rules?

Let them borrow money from their credit cards. As long as they can solve the employment problem in Pilsen City, the bank problem will no longer exist. This will even in turn severely damage the vitality of Old Bass and others. It's just... etc.

, it seems that I am also at a bit of a loss...

That’s my fucking territory! Mine!

"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else?"

I don’t know whether it was out of the idea of ​​“Douglas protectionism” or because he also wanted to understand Carter’s logical thinking. After hearing this, Goodman did not ask too much, but responded directly.

"Let's do this for the time being. By the way, in terms of loans, we can put it aside appropriately. For those shops that are about to be unable to operate, if the qualifications are found to be good, let them put some money, just like Forest Bank, first

I’ll give you a quota of one million, and we won’t worry about it later if it’s not enough.”

"Okay, I'll thank you on their behalf."

After instantly arranging a huge sum of two million to go out, Carter still can't completely relax. Douglas's matter is not a big problem. I believe that after today's large-scale bloodletting recruitment, coupled with the number of people recruited by Cui Farley for the slaughterhouse, Douglas will

Most of the problem of unemployed people has been solved.

The remaining ones can be bought by oneself after returning from hunting wild boars, and at least they will not starve to death! With the help of loans, there should be no problem in temporarily curbing the increase in the unemployment population in Douglas.

After doing this, Carter began to look through the information that Goodman had brought back from Forest Bank.

According to data, Pilsen is located in the small pine forest belt in south-central Georgia. Except for Atkinson Avenue, which crosses the small city, the entire city is neither near a lake nor the sea. Although there are pinewood resources, compared with Georgia

The forests in the northern part of the state are somewhat unsightly...

Even in terms of agriculture, due to its proximity to the pine forest belt, the cultivated fields in Pilsen City do not look as flat as Douglas. Just from the topographic map, the distribution of cultivated fields in Pilsen City is somewhat like an enlarged version of terraced fields. One after another

It's one piece and not coherent in the middle.

Seeing such a city situation, Carter frowned. The industrial structure of Pearson is too...too single?!

Although Douglas is also poor, most of them are farmers, and a few factories basically deal with cotton. It can be called a low-level industrial concentration area, but Douglas is in a good location, not to mention the flat land, and there is Highway 23 that runs from north to south. Is it clear?

.

There is only one east-west road in Pearson, and it is not near Route 23. And this Atkinson Avenue that runs from east to west... is also a road that makes dogs shake their heads.

One side is Waycross, and the other side has to drive more than a hundred kilometers to reach the first city, Sylvester. It means that on this avenue of nearly one hundred and fifty kilometers, a total of

Just three residential areas.

Trucks transporting lumber usually don't go out from here, and most vehicles don't turn onto this road at all. This means that Carter's road business district model in Douglas, which has just begun to show progress and has a promising future, will not

You can't just copy it to Pilsen...
