"Coffey County Prison has recently been converted to private ownership. Now its ownership belongs to an organization called the Douglas Development Foundation. Coffee County only has supervision rights, but no operating rights..."

"Douglas, the county seat of Coffey County...this foundation and the Douglas City Government..."

"Yes, this fund belongs to the local municipal government. Of course, the management of the fund is in the hands of a local institution called Black Flag Bank. This is nothing. After all, it is not appropriate for the government to directly manage funds. I discovered this.

A few things that may require your attention..."

"Say it, Dad, I'm listening!"

Although they are not in the same area, according to the social theory of "six people know the president", after a lot of effort and changing hands, some information can always be found.

Within two days, Brees received a call from home...

"The first place is the property of the prison. Although its ownership is now owned by the Douglas Development Fund, which is owned by the Douglas City Government, it seems that it is nothing more than a transformation from a county jail to a municipal jail, but have you ever thought about a problem?

, Brees...Why do they want to join this fund in the middle? Once they join this fund, the nature of this prison is actually not that it changes from public to public, but that it changes from public to private!"

Public to private?

Brees can understand this. It seems that it is a public-to-public transfer. After all, everyone behind the scenes is a government agency, but with such a change of hands, there will be an essential difference:

If the Douglas City Government directly manages Coffey Prison, then the cost of the prison will be covered by administrative expenses. That is, the Douglas City City Government uses local taxes to pay wages to prison guards and other staff, and prison maintenance will also be covered by administrative expenses.

After joining the Douglas Development Fund, the transportation process may be purely commercial. The salaries of prison guards and others will no longer come from administrative expenses of taxation. This may involve the prison's own responsibility

The issue of profit and loss...

And the operator of the fund is Black Chess Bank, a commercial institution. So its final essence should be a private prison!

What the fuck?!

Private prison...

Brees couldn't help but secretly cursed, "Rednecks really know how to play!"

"Secondly, the source of money for this fund is a little strange..."

"strangeness?!"

He has yet to recover from the shock that the southern state of Georgia is actually trying to privatize prisons. From the microphone in Brees' ear, his father's voice came again:

"Yes, it's strange. Of course, it is legal from a legal point of view. The anonymous donation... The fund is also used for local development, so there is no problem. It's just that the amount of their anonymous donation is huge! From the listing of the fund to the first payment

The funds were remitted in a very short interval and one after another... Within a month, hundreds of millions of dollars in funds had been raised."

"That's not New York, it's not Chicago... Think about it for yourself, how did a small southern city raise so many public donations?"

"Dad, do you suspect that there is something wrong with this money?"

"It's not suspicion, there must be something wrong with this money! However, that is not something we should investigate. If we do, people from the IRS or FBI should be concerned about it. I just want to remind you that on the surface, there is no problem with this fund. They

There’s nothing wrong with the way you get the money, but there’s something wrong with the money itself!”

The voice on the phone paused and then said again:

"Let me put it simply, this small city called Douglas... I'm afraid the water inside is a bit deep..."

"And they are obviously planning something. This is not a city that follows the rules. I don't know exactly how many interests and forces are hiding in it. Maybe the Shilaozi Renaissance Club that sent you the invitation is there.

...It's so far away from Portland..."

"My personal advice is, don't get involved!"

"I know what you young people think. You want to change, you are motivated, and all you think about is how to change the world. But Brees, you should also know that our family can be where we are today, not by rushing, but by being stable!"

"When the situation is still unclear, the best choice is to wait and see! Take a look first. I think you are not the only one who has received invitations in the school. You can observe the reactions of others first and wait until the situation becomes clearer.

, then make your choice!”

"Okay, I understand. Thank you Dad!"

Brees was not the only one who chose to wait and see. After hundreds of parchment rolls were sent out, there were only a handful of people who responded quickly. This did not go beyond the expectations of Carter and others...

Even occasionally, Carter would not be surprised to find a few familiar parchment rolls in a trash can on the roadside. We are not Franklin, so we can’t be loved by everyone, right?

"Carter, please pay attention recently. Someone reported that the board of directors illegally disclosed student information. Rice helped you suppress this matter. But... in the future, you should do less of this kind of thing. At least, don't do it so blatantly.

!”

"Hahaha, okay, I'm sorry to trouble you. If it's convenient, please help me make an appointment with Chairman Rice and have a meal together tomorrow night."

Melinda's reminder came to Carter's ears and he just laughed.

It's all just an exchange of interests. Carter doesn't need to be grateful to Chairman Rice who helped him suppress these accusations. To put it bluntly, if he hadn't promised the other party to conditionally support a group of people he recommended, he would

You don’t know how to get information for yourself, right?

Compared with this normative risk issue, Carter is more concerned about another issue:

"Melinda, someone should be setting off, right? Over at the medical school..."

"Yes, Jeff has left school and went to the Emory University Hospital you arranged for him...I'm more curious, isn't there a hospital in your hometown? Why..."

"Hey, the new hospital is still under planning. The land has just been released and construction has not started yet. I'm afraid that the old hospital has poor facilities and won't be able to retain people! Moreover, I can't test their true level. It would be better for the hospital to be bigger.

There are also more difficult and complicated diseases. Coincidentally, I have some contacts with Emory University, so I will arrange to go there..."

Touching his nose, Carter smiled:

"Besides, you have to be careful... We are acquaintances. We can say privately that this club is built with me as the center, but externally... right? The direction can't be too obvious, especially in

This is the basic recruitment stage. If it’s too directional, then people have tempers, right?!”

"Who can be admitted to Yale and not be a genius? They dream about changing the world every day, and now they are suddenly told that they have to serve someone, or even serve as a staff member. Do you think they can do it?"

"Besides, let's be honest, I don't want to be too personal. I want to build a platform where they can make friends with each other. I or others who have other social resources can also connect with them.

Come in and really help everyone have a good development..."

"When they get rich, they won't forget me, right? I can still achieve my goal, so... no matter where they go, it's a good thing. By the way, Melinda, you are leaving school soon

Yes, do you have any plans for the future?"
