"Unless you promise me something!"

"OK, one piece? One piece is not enough, three pieces! Just say, if I, Walter, can do it, I will definitely do it for you!"

"Don't be so talkative. What I want you to do is that after we earn enough for the renovation, you still need to go to Black Flag Commercial Bank for a loan! Then open a new store!"

"What?!"

Walter’s beard trembled visibly:

"Open another store?! What should I open? Forget it, I won't ask this, will you participate? If you participate, fine! We can write the contract now."

contract

This word is really a bit retro.

However, Carter's heart was somewhat touched by the words of trust from these small merchants and citizens living in the Yale community.

The idea of ​​doing this becomes more and more determined

"I'm not involved, um. I'm not specifically involved! But the construction of the entire project will be led by Mr. Stevens and I!"

"Vice Principal Stevens? What do you want to do?"

“Build a commercial street!”

The wine glass hit the wooden table, making a "bang" sound. Carter's voice followed closely:

Carter has had the idea of ​​building a commercial street and snack street at Yale University for a long time. He has also done some related work. After all, this commercial street and snack street were just the beginning. Carter figured it out and could be used for it.

Ways to ease financial pressure on Yale.

"That's what I say, but in recent years, business has become more and more difficult! The school and the city government didn't deal with it before, but it's getting better now. But, who knows what will happen here after you leave?"

It is necessary to finalize the participants' projects one by one in advance, like now, which often can only mean one thing: this project is not optimistic!

A thing that was disliked by all the surrounding residents found him. It was difficult for Walter not to suspect that Carter was deceiving him as a fool.

I just know that money is getting harder and harder to earn!

It was easy at first, opening a custom curtain shop and making curtains for people. After one year, excluding rent and costs, I could still save a small amount of 100,000. Later, it became more and more difficult, and in the end, even with the addition of smart air drying

The gross profit from the sales of clothing rods is less than 100,000 yuan a year.

This part of the experience in business is not a good one, which is the fundamental factor that makes many surrounding residents, including Walter, full of doubts about doing business. But if it were just like this, the situation at Yale would not be so bad.

Compared with macro-level problems, a more realistic problem is the culprit that hinders Yale's current development!

"Will the people from the Commerce Bureau cause trouble? Will the police turn a blind eye to our call to the police? Don't think I'm kidding! It's not like those black dogs can't do this kind of thing! Deliberately delayed and delayed on the way to the police.

For a while, you may have to pretend to be a token person and fool around.”

"Based on my judgment of the future, the city center in the future, especially in terms of leisure and entertainment, will not be here. For young and restless college students, it is impossible not to go out and have fun!

When the time comes, they must run this way!"

Do you need to find someone or someone to answer the call for such a good deed?

It was not put to use at the time, but it seems to be good to use directly now!

“The center of Yale is on the old campus, but it is not a geographical center of Yale. On the contrary, the old campus, which is opposite the New Haven city government, I don’t think it can be regarded simply as a part of Yale. I have always

It’s about treating Yale University and the city of New Haven as a whole.”

Not to mention running a business yourself, at least the rent will have to rise seriously!

"And you found me?!"

"The old campus is not the center of Yale. If Ogland Street and Elm Street only served Yale University, it would not be a good location. But if you look at the entire city, it is now the well-deserved center!"

"You should know that business is hard to do now, and our place is not close to the center of Yale. Why would you think of choosing such a seat?!"

But out of respect for Carter Capital, Walter did not directly say no:

As an ordinary small businessman, Walter had no economic insights. As an integral part of the American economy, he was just like Carter's aunt in his previous life.

"Actually, I have had this idea for a long time, just like Harvard Square. We should also create such a concentrated street with commercial facilities around Yale University! The part bordering Ogland Street and Elm Street is my favorite at the moment.

One of the alternatives”

Walter’s pupils widened again

For a moment, I didn’t know whether to say whether the other party thought highly of me or whether the other party looked down on me.

Make the intersection of Ogland and Elm Street the center of the business district around the school. I’m afraid no nearby residents will be unhappy!

"Even if the city's economic center moves to West Haven in the future, this will be a sub-center of the city. After all, Yale is so big that there is almost no possibility of it being relocated. And as long as Yale is here, the environment here will not be bad, and

The population won’t be too small either!”

"I need some people to respond to my call and some people to support me!"

"Besides, if we put it here on Ogland Street, it can cover more citizens. Expanding the source of customers, no matter how I think about it, I feel that this should be a kind of protection for you businessmen, right?!"

"Why else, traffic! The New Haven City Hall is just to the south, and the nearest subway station is at the corner of the street. The urban circle is always expanding slowly, and the current city center is right under our feet.

.But construction has begun in West Haven, that’s no secret.”

"If they arrive a minute late, I might have to break another table! If it's serious, I might even lose my life in a store. I can still bear this risk, but if another store comes."

"I understand, I understand. But don't forget, we have B-5!"

Whether it was the Washington, D.C. police in the Warren v. Washington, D.C. case, their random instructions after receiving the police call, or their perfunctory lessons learned from the past, or what Carter had personally experienced.

On that Hewitt night when the Yale campus police did not move and the town police arrived belatedly, Carter could fully understand Walter's worries.

The tension between the local school and the university has led to the town police not paying much attention to Yale's affairs. The Warren case has made almost all residents in the United States distrust the police.

The two are superimposed. No, there are also some extremists brought about by the deterioration of the economic environment, some anti-social elements who can no longer live, do not want to live, and want to support others.

For ordinary people, today's times can be called chaotic times. Careerists like this kind of environment, but most people who just want to live a good life only think about how to live a stable life.

"You didn't have a choice before, but that's different now! You have a new choice, don't you? The confrontation between Yale University, the Yale community, and New Haven is about to end, and it must end!"
