Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

"What crooked ideas are you trying to come up with? Let me warn you that laws, even local ones, cannot be manipulated casually. The previous naturalization restrictions can only be regarded as local administrative regulations at most. That's a little easier to say, but..."

Hearing that Carter made his mind on the prison industry again, Benjamin's brain felt a little ache.

From an objective and rational point of view, is there any problem with this route?

In fact, there is no problem. To put it simply, first use low cost to attract manufacturing companies to open factories.Even compared to the usual investment promotion strategy, using prisons. No, it should be said that prisoners in prisons are workers, and there are several advantages
First, I won’t talk about the lower cost; second, due to the particularity of the worker group, the imported enterprises are usually unable to hire them to engage in productive labor, and most of them send the production tasks to the prison management. Prisons organize production. For enterprises, at most they can send some technicians and some instructors.

In this way, will the production technology and equipment be gradually transferred to Douglas?And gradually absorbed and digested by the city of Douglas
This is a question with an obvious answer: Do you know how many developing countries are basically taking the industrial development path from OEM processing to independent design and independent production.
"But do we have that many people? There are only so many citizens in Douglas. Are you planning to get all of us in? I think you don't want to live! No one in the United States can offend all their fellow citizens to death After that, everything will be safe and sound, especially since this is the south!"

"Wait, wait! You're thinking about it! Who said that my eyes are on us Douglas people, and no one can cheat the folks! I still have the bottom line of being a human being."

"If you don't cheat them, who are you cheating? Ghosts? Monkeys in the mountains?"

Benjie rolled his eyes knowingly, but he really didn't understand Carter's train of thought.

There are almost a handful of non-Douglas people here.If there were more non-local citizens, then why did the two of them still have a headache here before? !

Isn't the core the city of Douglas itself, unattractive?It cannot attract more population inflow, and it is difficult to retain some really capable people.
"Of course it's an outsider!"

Carter looked at Benjamin like a fool, and Benjamin looked at Carter with the same look:
"How many outsiders do we have here? Are we going to Texas?"

"No no no, I also have tcA over there, I can't go to Texas to attract people anymore, it's not worth it"

Benjamin:
Clenching one hand quietly, Benjamin wanted to hit someone at this moment.

"You don't have to keep looking at illegal immigrants. Just let tcA deal with this group of people. We have a GcA here, and we only focus on real perpetrators."

"What tcA, GcA, wait a minute, I just have a question! Where do these criminals come from? What attracts them?"

"casino!"

Carter suddenly slapped the table and replied loudly.

"Since in 1916, [-] citizens of New Jersey could legalize the gambling industry through a referendum to revive the local economy that is increasingly depressed. Then why can't we?"

...

"Similarly, we don't need a large area. Just like Las Vegas, Nevada, and Atlantic City, New Jersey, we don't need Georgia to be full of casinos, but as long as we are here, we can Legalize the gaming industry and get a few casino licenses, do you think there will be fewer criminals here?"

"Don't forget, next to us is the largest and most important drug channel in the United States today! If these people know about it, they will be on their way to work. There is such a place, do you think they will come to hype?"

"As soon as they come to hy, we will hy!"

casino? !
To be honest, Benjamin was really surprised by Carter's thinking.Although at first glance, this idea is a bit whimsical, but think about Carter's potential customers?Or a plan in which all potential labor force has been found
First trick people into spending, and wait until the money in their hands is almost earned.Is it reasonable for impatient gamblers to do something out of the ordinary and vent some inner mania?So reasonable!
Then arrest people and continue to squeeze more labor.
What else can Carter, who has local financing channels in his hands, do?
Following the practice of Connecticut in a decent manner, he set up a small loan company and hired a bunch of "Jackbox Operators" to lend usury in the casino.People who lose their minds are irrational, once they touch this loan.
Congratulations, the work in the prison is almost purely for nothing for Carter.
After seeing such a whole process of "intimate" service, the capitalists really cried when they saw it, and the Jews had to kneel when they saw it.
Benjamin, who was about to kneel down to Carter on the spot, quickly thought of several key questions:
"How to operate the casino? How to prevent the expansion of crimes, or affect the lives of other normal citizens. Don't forget that what is really beneficial to Douglas and your capital is not what the gaming industry can bring. Yes. We don’t have many tourism resources here, the core still depends on education! Education is the future!”

"And since there is gambling, pornography and the adult entertainment industry. It is basically unrealistic to lift the ban. Whether the gaming industry is open or not is a matter of gain and loss in the final analysis. At most, there are concerns about universal values, and the pornography industry, This is a religious issue! This is out of our hands!"

"I understand, I understand. Don't worry too much about this. Just build a few strip clubs. In this regard, it is good to operate legally and compliantly. The adult entertainment industry does not need to be too liberal. If it is too liberal, it will be harmful to the The gaming industry, which is the core drainage point, has brought a strong impact.”

When talking about this question, Carter suddenly couldn't help laughing:
"I heard from an insider that prostitution is not legal in Nevada? After all, in Las Vegas, the Gaming Industry Association has been advocating the banning of the sex industry before, because they found that prostitution is more important than gambling for most of them. more attractive to customers”

"I've been to Las Vegas before. Indeed, in that legal state, you rarely see prostitutes coming to your door to offer sales or something. Their business area is very restricted."

Carter said that this is only a business issue. If you talk about the religious issue in Benjamin's mouth, the adult entertainment industry is even more untouchable!
In American society, almost 95% of people believe in religion.And in the Midwest, in the South, there are especially many conservatives!

Through film and television works, it is difficult for many people to imagine that there will be schools in the United States that stipulate that girls’ skirts cannot show their knees, and boys are not allowed to wear vests to enter public places, or in baths, swimming pools, and beaches. Swimming trunks will be considered bad manners and indecent attire
It is almost unrealistic to reverse the general social atmosphere brought about by religious customs.And for businessmen, we can't afford to stand on the opposite side of the masses, can we?
So, on this first question, Carter is not worried.
