Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

The days after receiving a performance plan were not much different from before.

In addition to slightly increasing the investment in piano practice time, Carter went to Benjamin's place as scheduled, and the two sides exchanged views on Douglas's next three-year strategy
"There is definitely nothing wrong with the direction of medical treatment, but will its effective cycle be too slow? In other words, in terms of production, teaching and research, we should first focus on the 'education' part. We don't need powerful biological science at this stage. Scientists, biochemists, etc., are only responsible for training some qualified doctors, nothing more.”

"I don't think that would be more in line with our needs than putting almost all of our energy into the payback cycle and its long medical industry?"

"Most people care, in fact, only whether they can get effective treatment when they are sick, and whether they can be cured. How cutting-edge new technologies and products, people don't care too much. As long as our medical facilities cover If it is big enough to lower the cost of basic medical care, then the attractiveness of our city will not be low either!"

Sitting in the small courtyard of Benjamin's house, basking in the warm afternoon sun, Carter put down the coffee cup in his hand, and secretly carried his private goods.
Of course, apart from the important factor that he does not have a medical-related industry under his name, on the other hand, from a rational point of view, Carter does not want Benjamin to get hotheaded and throw all the policies and funds into medical technology, academics and products. Research and development, including attracting investment, attracting talents to settle down and other directions.

The return period of this thing is measured in decades!

"I admit that what you said is reasonable. If possible, the medical industry is not the first choice in my mind. To tell you the truth, my initial thought was to attract some factories like the one in Argyll. , to increase the number of jobs, once the quantity is available, let’s talk about quality!”

"While city officials were sent to recruit people from major hospitals and medical schools, it's not that they didn't work part-time as lobbyists in those big companies. But the result, as you can see, is very bleak!"

Benjamin sighed helplessly, and at the same time gave Carter a cigarette:
"Look at us, except for the relatively flat terrain and cheap land prices, almost all disadvantages! There are no good universities to provide high-quality, high-level talents; there is no important special output, just like those oil cities, even if they are A piece of the Gobi Desert can build a large-scale city”

"In today's factories, more and more production links are replaced by machines. The production of industrial products often does not require a particularly large site, and we cannot compete with those central states for agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery that require a large site. They The land price is not high, and it is flatter than ours, and the traffic is also convenient. By the way, this is only when SR-166 is about to be completed, so I have some confidence to let them talk about the company. If I didn’t think about it before Dare to think!"

"As a normal commercial introduction, we can't just rely on price to compete in the market like your Kofi Prison. Now, even in the southern states, it is difficult to live with an annual income of less than [-] U.S. dollars."

"That's right! Education is fundamental, so I'm not opposed to the city spending a lot of money to introduce medical talents. It's just a university's cultivation. Hey, I suddenly thought of a direction, bursaries or scholarship subsidies?"

After lighting the cigarette handed by Benjamin, Carter suddenly thought of a slightly off-the-wall style of play:
"What do you think if we increase the amount of this bursary or scholarship subsidy or expand the scope of distribution, so as to attract more students who could not afford to go to college?"

"In this regard, community colleges like Georgia South College have a natural advantage, which is financial allocation. Now that the city's taxes are slowly coming up, you can definitely increase your investment in Georgia South College, I think The opinions of the citizens should not be too big."

"In addition to the stipends and scholarships issued by the university itself, I can also solve some of them for you here. For example, in the form of corporate scholarships, part of it will be distributed, and then for new students, student loans with ultra-low interest rates will be provided! Black Flag's treasury Here, there is still a lot of cash that has nowhere to move, if the money can be used in this respect, I am very happy to do it!"

"This is a good idea, but just like the investment in the medical field you said, it is also very slow to bear fruit. I still think that the money will be used to support a company with market competitiveness and sufficient Attractive companies will have the fastest results!"

"Now the White House also needs to boost the vitality of the market. Last year's tax cuts and increased defense spending are all obvious political signals. At such a time point, I feel that in the name of the city of Douglas It should be the least difficult time to apply for a part of the tax reduction from the state. As for the tax reduction policy at the federal level, including some support subsidies, I can’t help much.”

Benjamin shook his head and rejected Carter's proposal.

Although increasing investment in education and providing employment and entrepreneurship subsidies for graduates are indeed the direction to increase the strength of the Douglas city, the time has come.
"I understand that it usually requires some specific industries to receive subsidies. Moreover, most of them are high-tech industries that the Federation needs. It is not easy for us to achieve this here. The high-tech industries have too much demand for talents! Our educational foundation here simply cannot support this kind of consumption!"

If it was 92, then Carter still had the confidence to create an Internet Silicon Valley in the southeastern United States through a high salary comparable to that of the financial industry.But in 82.
Especially in the hands of someone who doesn't understand any technology at all, it is somewhat embarrassing to expect him to create a company similar to Fairchild Semiconductor, which is known as the "cradle of Silicon Valley" and almost single-handedly laid the foundation of Silicon Valley. up
Relatively speaking, Carter couldn't find an entry point in the more familiar fields, let alone other industries, which he almost didn't understand at all.

The conversation suddenly reached a deadlock
Obviously, Benjamin also understood this truth.

"Land. Low price and large area."

After murmuring these key words a few times in a low voice, Carter gritted his teeth suddenly:

"Prison City!"

"Since the only advantages we have here are low land prices and low labor hours, then as long as there are enough people in our prisons, we can use prisons as the basis to form a group of prisons on the surface, but in fact they are It is a manufacturing enterprise of a large OEM processing group. As long as our quotation is low enough, the market size of this group will expand very fast! It will not be a big problem to become a large enterprise in three years!"

"This is unrealistic, how can we have so many criminals here?!"

"Then let's find a way to increase the number of criminals!"
