Chapter 229 The beginning of the big outbreak
Looking back on June 1980 many years later, Carter had only one comment about it: That was the year when the Great Explosion began!
As time enters June, the first batch of more than 200 employees who participated in the ht plan training have also completed their basic training and officially embarked on their journey to a foreign land...
The cold storage has not been built yet? Rent someone else's for use first; the food processing factory building has not been built yet, then use the already built workshop to start production first! Production and construction at the same time!
As the two hundred people left Pearson, there were also a hundred workers who were about to enter the Tennessee food processing plant. A total of three hundred people began to split up in Atlanta, each rushing to their own goals...
On the Douglas-Pearson side, more than 1,700 freshly minted construction workers also wielded hoes and started preliminary preparations before the arrival of construction machinery.
As for the 65 trucks of Carter Dongfeng Express, they are now almost one truck with two drivers, running continuously day and night. They have to travel all over the world to transport building materials and machinery and equipment...
A logistics company originally planned to be a supporting company, but its guaranteed net revenue in June actually reached an exaggerated amount of more than 30,000 US dollars. And this is the net income achieved after deducting high overtime pay and vehicle depreciation fees.
.
On the other side, 65 Dongfeng Express trucks, as well as some local trucks in Douglas, are completely unable to meet such a huge demand for transportation capacity. Foreign logistics companies are also swarming in like the previous building materials companies. The drivers and workers of these logistics companies
Do you want to eat or drink while waiting for work in Douglas-Pilsen and waiting for the goods to be shipped? These demands once again promote local consumption of tertiary industries.
A virtuous positive economic cycle quietly appears!
The citizens living here seemed to feel that the economic crisis was gone. The economy was recovering again. Looking at the huge construction sites on the edge of the city, many old people almost had intracranial orgasms and shouted: They are entering again.
The golden age of large-scale construction...
The demographic dividend is also reflected in the supply of talent.
Bank security supervisor, Yoran Hayes, a retired captain from the 35th Special Forces Combat Detachment of the SOG. Carter had never heard of this unit. He had no idea that this guy had his nose turned up when he came to the interview.
His appearance, who gave him the courage...
Then, after this guy single-handedly killed all the security personnel of the bank, plus six policemen at the door, and more than 20 armed security personnel in less than fifteen minutes, Carter shouted "John Rambo!"
At the same time, he was busy offering the position of bank security supervisor...
Just when Carter offered a high monthly salary of 1,000 US dollars, the guy was still complaining: "It's a pity that it's not a jungle, but it took fifteen minutes... I'm old. If I were younger, if I were in the jungle, it would be like this
If you use rotten fish or shrimp for more than 5 minutes, you will be punished..."
In addition to the security personnel, Carter also found someone at Dongfeng Express who was barely considered an expert. He was also a retired officer from the Vietnam War, but he was just a fat logistics officer. I heard that he was responsible for the transportation of military supplies. Although he was not a professional
He is a talented person in managing a fleet, but he can barely be considered a professional counterpart.
Only on the real estate side, there are no suitable candidates yet. There are a few architects and designers, and they are all busy in the newly rented office in Pearson...
But behind the surface prosperity, Carter's financial pressure is also increasing.
Douglas as a whole made a profit of more than 5 million through land sales, but his family actually only made a profit of more than 1 million. It was regarded as recovering the previous bad debts, and then earning some extra land.
A furniture factory in Duke took away more than one million yuan for himself; in terms of construction and real estate, although the initial start-up cost was not high, with the surge in demand, the cost was far higher than what Carter had ever experienced.
As expected, the initial investment reached 500,000. At the same time, the superficial prosperity of the market also boosted the confidence of many people.
The ht special loan, which was originally expected to take some time to be disbursed, was quickly disbursed. On the other hand, after the planning was completed, even in the early stages of construction, the consumption of various building materials began to rise.
Inventory funds were reduced bit by bit, and there was still nearly 1.2 million in salary expenses half a month later. Carter's pressure also suddenly increased. Unlike Benjamin who wakes up smiling every day, Carter wakes up worried almost every day.
Because the current real estate development process in Douglas does not seem to be quite right. First of all, the normal real estate development process requires land. After the developer obtains the land, it takes the land to the bank as a mortgage, and then uses the loan to start building the building. And it is still under construction.
During the construction process, pre-sales are started simultaneously to achieve a balance of capital turnover.
So here comes the problem. Now the ownership of the land is not in the hands of dog real estate, but in the hands of the workers. The reason why they can start construction on their land now is just because they all understand that it is to build their own houses.
, so the situation arises after signing the land use rights grant agreement.
The ownership of the land itself is not in the hands of the real estate company, so it is naturally impossible to use the land to mortgage loans. And it is different from China. The real estate industry in the United States in the 1980s was not prosperous. At least in a small place like Douglas, it would not be called a depression.
Too much.
Almost all the urban housing buildings in Douglas are left over from the large-scale development period in the 1950s. In the past two decades, the only major project was the construction of Route 23. At other times, there was almost no demand for real estate development here.
This environment has brought an almost unique and favorable development environment to Carter's Dog Real Estate, but it has also made financing and loans extremely difficult! Not to mention that the land is not yours, and even if it is yours, you can't get much money out of it.
Because the land itself is not valuable, and there are no peers who can dismantle some money for emergencies.
Similarly, pre-sale has become very troublesome. Because there is no previous experience here, many people do not know what modern American communities and communities look like. When the land has been authorized to you for free development and use, in even Maodu
When you don't see them, you have to ask them to pay you first...
How is that possible?! If you push them hard, they will most likely not want your planning and design. They can just build a small house to live in. It’s not impossible to do it?!
Under this situation, Carter could only bite the bullet and use his own funds to build a model community first. Then use this as a blueprint to start pre-sales.
To build a community, the speed at which funds were consumed really opened Carter's eyes. As truck after truck of materials arrived in Douglas, Carter's cash also flowed out one after another.
After the previous calculation, the remaining funds of about 5 million US dollars, even if the operating funds of the credit card business are withdrawn, the total funds of 6 million US dollars will be 1.2 million for salary expenses in one month and 2.4 million in two months.
Even if Carter believes that these people can speed up the action for the sake of building his own residence. Without trying to catch up with the speed and efficiency of the infrastructure madmen, if a low-rise residential area is built in two months, it will still need to be spent on wages alone.
2.4 million, the actual money left for myself to purchase equipment and building materials is only 3.6 million.
And 3.6 million US dollars to build a modern community? What a fuss!
Chapter completed!
