Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 442 Cincinnati and Blacks

Carter was not idle during the day waiting for DeMille's arrival.

Early the next morning, after borrowing Rick's gun and carrying it with him, Carter rushed into the urban area of ​​Cincinnati with great interest, began to identify his targets, and collected local market information.

After a long time, Carter found that, except for the fact that the donkeys were messing around, it seemed to be a disadvantage.The location of Cincinnati can be called a treasure land of geomantic omen!
Cincinnati is located in the southwest of Ohio, and to the south is Kentucky, a typical central agricultural state. If you walk less than 400 kilometers to the north, you can reach the shores of Lake Erie.

Lake Erie, Carter has been there.The Cleveland that once scared me to retreat is on the shore of Lake Erie.In the early nineteenth century, after the opening of the Erie Canal, the entire Great Lakes region was revitalized.Originally, ships from the Great Lakes had to go to the St. Lawrence River if they wanted to enter the Atlantic Ocean. However, this river was managed by Canada.There is no estuary in the United States, but as the Erie Canal dug through the Hudson River in New York, all cities along the route were opened.

Chicago is close to Lake Michigan, Cleveland is close to Lake Erie, and New York is at the mouth of the sea.One counts as one, and they are all quite well-known urban areas.In addition, there are too many steel cities like Pittsburgh and railway cities like Portsmouth in Ohio!

In terms of marine transportation, this place is no worse than Douglas after the opening of the expressway to Savannah.In terms of inland water transportation, land transportation, and industrial supporting facilities, this place has more advantages!
The industrial atmosphere, not to mention the supporting enterprises, how can an emerging state like Georgia wrestle with an old industrial state like Ohio?Just talking about land transportation, Cincinnati's location can drive to more than two-thirds of the United States within one day!

Carter looked at the map, and estimated that this third of the geographical range also includes Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico Autonomous State, Guam and other messy overseas islands, direct enclaves and other regions.In other words, in fact, in the traditional sense of the United States, the goods sent from Cincinnati can be almost completely delivered before sunset the next day!

As for inland waterway transportation, goods from Cincinnati can join the Mississippi River in Illinois along the Ohio River, enter the Gulf of Mexico southward, or go upstream upstream, connect Lake Erie through the canal, and then enter the Atlantic Ocean from New York.
In addition, in terms of population, it is even more incomparable.Cincinnati, the 27th largest metropolitan area in the United States, includes five counties in Ohio, seven counties in Kentucky, and three counties in Indiana if you count Greater Cincinnati.A full range of fifteen counties belong to the Cincinnati metropolitan area.

The city's population exceeds [-], and if you count the metropolitan area, that is, the entire metropolitan area, it is a huge market with a population of more than [-] million!

Honestly, don't say what other people think when the information gets here.Carter himself was a little unconfident. Originally, when he heard that Procter & Gamble's headquarters was in Cincinnati, Carter was a little happy.

Because as early as 1957, Procter & Gamble entered the consumer paper products industry.Two years before my original body was born, that is, in 1963, the famous "Pampers" diapers were launched.It can be said that my body basically grew up close to that thing
On his own side, pine wood raw materials are abundant, and Argyle City itself still has a certain foundation for papermaking.With the convenient transportation in the south-central region of Upper Georgia, normally speaking, it is a good place for the construction of a diaper factory.It is close to the source of raw materials, and it is convenient to ship.But looking at it now, the location advantages are similar, and it is closer to the front line of the market. If it is closer to the headquarters, it is also easy to manage.

There is a way to persuade the other party to relocate or build a new factory in Georgia, but the difficulty is very high!Unlike convincing Japanese car companies, when Japanese car companies went to Georgia, it was a rigid need, and they had to build factories in the United States to avoid the restrictions of the self-restriction agreement.So, I gave myself a chance, but right now...
Looking at the black people all over the street, Carter suddenly had some dark thoughts in his heart:
Objectively, the entire Greater Cincinnati area is similar to most of the central states.Whites are the main group, but in some cities, the proportion of blacks in Cincinnati is very exaggerated!
In Cincinnati and Peking University Hills, blacks accounted for more than 45%, and New Burlington was even more ruthless, with blacks accounting for more than 50%.

Without considering other factors, only the situation in Cincinnati.Compared with the white group, there are various subdivided Hispanic, German, Italian groups, English groups and other messy factions with different interests, the black group is relatively simpler.

Give them the so-called equal rights and equal status, and they can sweep more than 45% of the votes in almost the entire city
Such a beneficial and cost-effective thing, donkeys will be ghosts if they don't do it!

And after getting the votes, according to the virtues of most blacks, it must be increased layer by layer.If you prohibit judicial discrimination, they will demand judicial preferential treatment; if you require how many black employees the company must hire, they will be passive and slow down. Anyway, you have to hire, and you can’t fire me. How do you mess it up?

If you really dare to fire, hehehe.
Isn't this racist?Aren't you bullying honest people? !
When the black people make a fuss, what do you think those donkeys will do?Still want votes?Want it?Then stand by the black man.
In such an environment, Carter felt that if he had a manufacturing company in the future, he would never settle in such a ghostly place.Then correspondingly, if I don't want to come, the original bosses may not stay!

A giant like Procter & Gamble has a big family and a big business. If they really want to move out of Cincinnati.It is basically unrealistic, because it is too important. If they want to move, let alone the city, it is estimated that the state will have to jump.
But apart from giant companies like Procter & Gamble, there are also many other companies, enterprises, and factories in Cincinnati!
Moreover, this is an industrial city, an industrial city in the north of central China.Thinking that he still has the identity of UAW, Carter touched his chin, secretly thinking about whether he could touch it in troubled waters in this environment
For example, quietly cheering for the donkeys, encouraging them to make persistent efforts and create greater glories!Try to completely occupy Cincinnati, then attract more black people to this place, force other companies away, and then take advantage of the trend to become a catcher or something
Or, yes!Attract more blacks to Cincinnati.
"There seem to be quite a few black people in Georgia."
