After having lunch at Gulfstream, having a cup of coffee, and chatting for an hour and a half, Carter said goodbye and left after receiving a piece of information that he didn't know whether it was useful or not: "Gulfstream aircraft have a need to relocate to a test field."

The next day, Carter came to Argyll with a highway agreement signed by seven city governments along the way...

It was early nine o'clock in the morning when Carter's Mustang drove into Argyll. Nine o'clock in the morning on weekends should be the time for people to eat and drink, go out to play, or go shopping after a good night's sleep.

But at this time, Argyle was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds...

There is a flow of people, but it is pitifully small. On the faces of the few pedestrians we see along the way, even if we drive by in a hurry, we can still clearly capture the trace of sadness.

When people come out of the supermarket, the bags they carry are obviously one size smaller than Douglas!

After Carter parked his car at the entrance of Argyle City Hall, he walked into the office building. Everyone who saw Carter along the way had complicated expressions on their faces.

Human emotions are always very complicated!

At least in the eyes of Andrea Ashley, the municipal receptionist, Ashley had mixed feelings when she saw that figure who walked briskly and even seemed a little excited appeared in front of her.

It stands to reason that although Argyle is experiencing today's difficulties, the entire responsibility cannot be placed on the man, or rather the boy, in front of him. But he is definitely one of the culprits responsible for Argyle's current decline!

Ashley understands that behind any superficial result, there are many factors working together. Behind Argyll's decline today, there is the deterioration of the economic environment, the deliberate suspension of loans by the Bank of Bath, and Carter

This seemingly outsider keeps siphoning Argyle’s flesh and blood!

Ashley believes that if these three major factors had not all collided, Argyle would not be in the situation it is today. But the reality is so clever! That damn goddess of fate not only made these things happen at the same time, but also

But the hope of changing fate was handed over to the mastermind behind the scenes...

"Hello, I'm Carter Black! I have an appointment with Mr. Creel to meet at ten o'clock!"

"Ah, okay! Please come with me. Mr. Mayor is already waiting for you. He has reserved a whole day's meeting time for you!"

Carter's words interrupted Ashley's thoughts. The girl tried to calm down her emotions and complete her work of escorting people, but when she went upstairs, the feeling of a kitten's heart-wrenching feeling made her couldn't help but look at the follower frequently.

The person behind you...

"What? Is there something wrong with my image?"

Frequently being looked at like a monster, Carter finally couldn't help but ask after the girl peeked at him countless times.

"Ah?! No, I... I'm just curious, why Mr. Mayor and Mr. Speaker both said that you are the only one who can pull Argyle out of the quagmire now... I..."

"Don't be nervous, this is just their flattery, don't take it seriously! Look, I have already seen the mayor's office, I can just go there myself!"

They dare to say that this kind of savior-like comment is something Carter would not dare to accept...

Looking back on everything over the past year, the turning point seems to have been the gold futures. Without that huge profit, I would still have to worry about how to make a profit on my deposits. How could I be so cool?

Even if he had the foresight to make a life cheat, it would only be realized many years later. Before that, he was just an ordinary small businessman in Zuozhou, a banker... no, that was all.

You can only call yourself a banker. Calling yourself a banker is a shameless boast.

If it is as the old saying goes, a horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall!

Knocking on the door of the Mayor of Argyle's office with a little emotion, as the door slowly opened, two eagerly awaited people were waiting to greet him. Compared with the first time he walked into Benjamin's office,

The standard of the director's office this time is obviously much higher...

"Mr. Black! Welcome to Argyll! I am Liebel Creel, and this is Mr. Ged McCallion, the Speaker of the city."

"Good morning, you two!"

After shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, the guests and hosts sat down and chatted for a few more words. After the secretary brought coffee, they got down to business.

"Didn't Mr. Patterson come with you?"

Seeing Carter coming alone, Creel and the others were a little uneasy.

"I called him before departure. If he comes from Atlanta, he should arrive in the afternoon."

After smiling and reassuring the two of them, saying that he was indeed here to acquire Bass Bank, Carter took out the proposed highway toll rights authorization agreement and handed it to the two:

"I came here early to talk about other situations first. The first one is this, the expressway project. So far, it is going very smoothly, to be precise, very smoothly! With this agreement, I will be able to retire from retirement.

There is a lot of financing in the fund! Although the road does not connect to Argyll, if you are willing, the pension fund of Argyll can also join in the investment."

"The current shortfall is about 140 million. The pension funds of the three cities of Columbus, Savannah, and Albany are estimated to be able to bear at least 80 million to 110 million. The remaining part, Douglas

, Pearson, Plains, and Baxley, these four cities can basically solve the problem. It’s really not enough. At worst, I will go to New York again and I should be able to attract some more investment.”

"So, this road is basically completed! In the future, if production companies in Argyle have shipping needs, they no longer need to detour through Waycross. They can go directly north, enter the highway from Pilsen North, and go directly to Savannah

Accept."

"Okay! Great! This news is music to Argyle's ears. With this road, our products are much more competitive and we don't have to add costs to the middlemen in Waycross."

Already."

The contents of the seven agreements were similar. After listening to Carter's story, Creel, who quickly read the contents, exclaimed in admiration when handing the agreement to Speaker McCallion beside him:

"But these are things for later. This road will not be repaired and opened to traffic in a while. In the past few days, Mr. McCallion and I have visited all the factories in the city to revitalize these factories..."

"On the one hand, it's a sales problem, on the other hand, it's cost..."

"Sales are not easy to make, and you are well aware of the domestic environment. The overall consumer demand in the market has decreased. This is not something I can solve. Let's talk about the cost! If we only maintain the normal production work of a lower standard, how much loans will we need?

?”

"This...we...take a look at this, Mr. Black. This is the information after our research."

Carter's direct words made Creel a little embarrassed. After taking the report from the other party and taking a quick look at it, Carter was speechless for a while...

"What are you thinking? Let's not talk about whether I have so much money. Even if I do, according to your production capacity standards, where will you sell the extra products?!"
Chapter completed!
