"Wait! Mr. Rayboulding, please wait a moment!"

"Do you have anything else to say? Mr. Black."

Lei Boding, who stopped at the door of the private room, turned around impatiently, staring at Carter, the "culprit". If it weren't for the discipline he had developed over a long period of time, Lei Boding would really not be able to say a word at this time.

All are indebted.

No one will have a good impression of someone who intends to taint his hometown. Even if this is just his own guess, maybe Carter's original intention was not like this, that's okay!

"Mr. Rebolding, please believe me! I really don't have any ill intentions. We came to Pilsen not to waste time here. You think, I just took over Forest Bank from the FDI, and I turned around and vacated this city."

, will this do me any good?”

A layer of cold sweat quietly crept up Carter's back. The previous confidence was long gone...

Indeed, if our own burrito is a weapon in this depressed era! But this weapon is also a double-edged sword!

It can open a gap in the market like an extremely sharp double-edged sword, causing a misplaced blow to a series of rapidly expanding fast food giants such as McDonald's and Burger King. But at the same time, it can also easily hurt itself...

Rayboulding's words instantly reminded Carter of a term: geoprotectionism!

After living in the United States for so long, Carter has gradually understood a problem: in this country of immigrants, behind the seemingly noisy singing and dancing, night after night, and feasting, there are also many local protectionisms and local protectionisms.

Conservative thinking.

This kind of separation is even greater than the unified planning and the difference between the east and west of China, which developed first! To put it bluntly, the cities on the east and west coasts of the United States and the cities in the central and southern United States are not at all like cities in the same country.

.From the scale, to the industrial structure, to the thoughts and quality of the residents, etc., the differences are not only huge, but also extremely polarized.

If this burrito shop had been opened in New York or Los Angeles, he would never have heard what Rayberding said just now. Because these cities are already able to attract a large amount of capital inflow, he would not worry about the success of your small fast food restaurant.

It’s amazing. And people are also very receptive to new things.

Of course, this may also be because the cities they live in have never lacked external capital inflows. This makes their municipal governments have strong risk-taking capabilities and dare to accept some new things, and enterprises can enter their territory to make trouble.

Yu. They are confident that they have enough strength to protect themselves.

But in the slightly barren south-central region, in a small city like Pilsen, a company with exaggerated revenue really has the power to bring down a city!

As Rayboulding said, when your price is lower than a threshold, what results is dumping!

Thinking of dumping, Carter immediately understood why Rayberding was so angry. Because as a Chinese at heart, he deeply understands the harm that dumping causes to the places where it is dumped...

The invasion of a large number of cheap goods will cause local goods to lose their competitiveness, followed by a reduction in sales and market share. At the same time, the income of related industries will decrease until they can no longer bear it and declare bankruptcy.

And then...the entire industry chain was bought at low prices and controlled by others, and the funds were taken away by these dumpers. This made it increasingly difficult for places that were already difficult to revitalize...

Countries face dumping and anti-dumping. Tariffs can be used to balance this threshold, which is the so-called tariff protection. But as between two cities in the same country, where does Pilsen have the right to impose tariffs?

?

Therefore, Rayberding could only use executive orders to restrict Carter's burrito invasion...

But while understanding, Carter could not help but murmur. In theory, it seems to be very harmful, but it is not difficult to imitate his own burrito! Even if there are people who can't make tacos now, it's hard to find someone who can.

Too easy...

In Central and South American countries, if you grab any aunt, she can make tortillas like crazy...at least better than Cui Fali, a fake cook. And no matter how depressed the United States is today, it is still in the eyes of many people.

paradise, lighthouse...

"I admit that this trip was a bit hasty. It was because I didn't think carefully about the preparations. Mr. Rayboulding, please calm down, sit down again, and we will think of other ways. Please believe me, I am protecting the city of Pearson."

In terms of economic development and the goal of maintaining the stability of Pilsen City, I am consistent with you!"

"Yes, Hart! Originally, I planned to invite Carter to have dinner in Douglas tonight. It was because he suddenly thought that the unemployment problem of many people in Pilsen City has not been solved, so he pulled me over. We will have dinner this afternoon.

We didn’t decide to leave until three o’clock, so we really didn’t have time to make detailed plans. Including Mr. Cui Farley, Carter called us to the restaurant temporarily when we were halfway through the journey.”

"Yes, yes, they are right..."

After speaking, Benjamin sighed and, together with Cui Farley, spoke out to try to save Rayberding. No one had expected that such a situation would happen.

While on the road, Benjamin knew about Carter's acquisition of Forest Bank, and also about his alliance with the Atlanta branch of FDI to fight against the alliance of the three banks in Argyle. Knowing this, he naturally also understood Carter's plan to

The fundamental reason why his attitude suddenly changed after he refused to help the city of Pilsen when they first met.

If Carter had acquired a commercial bank, Benjamin might have reason to suspect that Carter had deliberately concealed his core purpose. He just planned to come to Pilsen to harvest a wave of leeks and then run away...

But since the acquisition is a savings bank, there is no need to cut leeks. Compared with commercial banks, the profitability of savings banks seems to be very poor, but in terms of stability, savings banks can beat commercial banks by several blocks!

One is an industry that is small but can make stable profits in the long term; the other is an industry that may be highly profitable, but may also go bankrupt at any time. Faced with these two choices, Benjamin believes that most people will choose the first one!

To ensure that the first choice can be effective, Carter must not be able to destroy Pearson's market. If Pearson's market collapses, how will he absorb savings and make revenue?

"I hope so! Okay, let's talk about it again, but let's not talk about this restaurant business. I won't allow you to come in! We in Pearson can't bear this kind of impact. Unless you are willing to sign a price limit agreement, otherwise you will not be exempted from it.

talk!"

Watching Rayberding sit down again, Carter's eyes started to roll around. Of course he wasn't thinking about the price limit agreement. If he signed this bullshit agreement, he would have cut off his arms and lost all his core advantages.

If it's all cut down, why not open a shitty restaurant...

But when I just thought of geo-protectionism, what else seemed to come to mind?

New York? Los Angeles??

"Um...Mr. Rayboulding, I still want to talk to you about the restaurant..."
