Chapter 652 Missing Cash

"How are you thinking about it? Hehe, channels covering the United States, this is something you are very lacking right now! And we, Taft, are a channel interface. Besides, it's not like we don't pay for it!"

"Oh, don't rush! I'll think about this later. You can first give me a list of the channels you can connect with. Which channels can be opened with almost certainty? Which ones have a high probability of success? Yes.

What channels are possible but not guaranteed to be opened?”

"You have to give me this information first. Then you do a little more to show me that you can indeed do this."

Looking at Carter, who was shaking his head as if sitting firmly on a fishing platform, Rick picked up a T-shirt beside the bed and threw it up:

"Are you doubting Taft?!"

"Just going through the process!"

Pulling off the T-shirt covering his face, Carter chuckled. He didn't pay attention to Rick's feigned anger at all.

For these, the United States goes to the Eight Banners

To be honest, Carter actually didn't understand how much knowledge they had and how much they could accomplish. But it was only the tip of the iceberg that the other party showed regarding the B-5 Police Company.

Carter did not doubt that the Taft family could do what Rick said, but

"I'm not sure your family is willing to participate wholeheartedly in this, do you understand?"

He raised his brows and hooked up the corners of his mouth. After a smile that was full of wisdom and scheming, Carter suddenly smiled mischievously:

"If it was just us, it would be easy to say, but your father is not dead yet! You are a young man, why are you so anxious?"

"You really look like Doug Shetter."

After raising his middle finger and expressing his attitude to Carter, Rick wisely dropped the topic for the time being.

As Carter said, everything he just promised came from family resources. They are not his own, and he does not have the power to make decisions for his family.

"When your project starts, remember to tell me. My family is here. No matter whether they participate or not, I want to participate! In the worst case, I will just work for you!"

"ha?"

Watching the topic end, Carter, who was about to ask about the school's current situation, suddenly raised his head in surprise after hearing Rick's words:

"Are you okay? Don't forget, you still have an ROTC contract!"

"It's not like I don't have time before reporting. And, don't you always say that computers are something that can change the world in the future? As for the military field. It is a machine and equipment that originally appeared for military services. I know more about it, and I always

There’s no harm! Besides, I really want to do something practical!”

Scratching the few broken hairs on his head with some irritability, Rick took out several books from the desk:

"You said we study mechanics and management every day. I know theory is very important, but I also want to be more practical! That is, we can really put it to practice and test it! Unfortunately, our family"

"You're an old landlord, right? Hahaha!"

Carter laughed and patted Rick on the shoulder, suddenly understanding this good friend.

Regarding the idea of ​​starting a business, Rick has not hidden it since his freshman year. However, he has been tinkering with some crooked ways before.

The only manufacturing now is to do OEM work for Nike. But that kind of low-end manufacturing with low production levels and relying solely on headcount obviously cannot satisfy this young master's appetite.

It’s not easy to come across something. Even if the scale is small, even if there is a slight problem with the source of workers, it can still produce something. Right, computers, at least it doesn’t sound bad.

It also has a bit of a high-tech flavor!

Rick is a little impatient, and Carter understands.

"Don't worry, there will be bread, and there will be steak. Wait for me to wait for a while, and whatever you want to do, I might be able to invest in you!"

Stretching lazily, Carter lay back on his recliner again and complained:

"The main thing is what happened to Pepsi this time. Although we didn't lose money. But after all, we borrowed external help, and those middlemen only made more than one yuan, and there was no cash income! It takes some time and patience to digest these gains.

Man!"

30,000 shares were borrowed for 20 million. The interest rate was 20%. If the loan was held for less than a month, the return would only be about 300,000 shares.

Under the restrictions of the lock-up period, even if the stock price rises back, for Carter, it is only a nominal increase in net worth. The actual income and cash are actually poured into Coca-Cola.

Overall, it’s definitely not a loss!

After PepsiCo made such a fuss, tens of millions and hundreds of millions were spent, and Coca-Cola obtained nearly 4% of the equity. HT holds part of it, itself holds part of it, and Black Flag Commercial Bank holds part of it.

Each part doesn't seem like much, but when put together, it's quite a lot!

In addition, the equity paid by PepsiCo is replaced by HT. For the same equity of more than 4%, after the income is given to HT, it can gain through HT's shares.

About 37%!

Twenty million new shares were issued, which is not a small number.

As a result, Carter's shareholding in HT dropped sharply from more than 49% to 37.5%.

It seems to have more shares than Coca-Cola. According to Carter's estimation, Pepsi's annual income is really not as good as Coca-Cola's.

As for Coca-Cola, most people have heard of the fact that Mr. Buffett made a lot of money by investing in Coca-Cola, as well as the anecdotes about advertising Coca-Cola everywhere he goes!

It’s just that Carter is not sure when Comrade Lao Ba joined Coca-Cola.

By some strange combination of circumstances, I bought shares in Coca-Cola in advance.

Carter definitely doesn’t want to move this part of the equity. He’s just waiting for Cherry Happy Water to enter the market in the future. Isn’t it delicious?

But not moving these shares means that your cash has been actually spent.

What you get in exchange are future income rights!

"I know, I know everything! So, I really think it's very appropriate to invest in your computer company now! It's rare that you have no money now, and you have to find ways to find money to fill the hole in Black Flag Commercial Bank."

Rick sighed, his eyes rolling, as if he was thinking about how to convince his family:

"If my guess is correct, that money should be residents' deposits transferred from Black Flag Savings in the form of inter-bank lending, right? Although there is no risk of a run in the short term. But it costs tens of millions.

Go out, judging by your reaction now, you probably don’t want to sell Coca-Cola’s stock.”

"Then how to repay this loan is a question! Considering the economic environment of your place, can your treasury still be able to bear it?!"

"Hey! You're looking down on me, aren't you?"

"Under normal circumstances, for a local savings bank like Black Flag, let alone tens of millions, a few million may lead to a credit crisis. But we are different! Black Flag is special!"

"Not only the size, but more importantly, we have Black Flag Bank branches in Douglas, Pearson, Argyle and other places. In the past two years, the local economy was basically revitalized by Black Flag, or in other words, by me!"

"This kind of trust brought by providing people with food and clothing. Hey, our residents' average savings rate is definitely the highest in the country! Our people, believe me! Dare to put your money in my custody!"

"So, I'm really not in a hurry about this matter. Okay, let's not talk about it for now. What happened in the school recently?"
