Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

"Unless you promise me one thing!"

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

"Don't talk so much. What I want you to do is that after we earn enough renovation fees, you still need to go to the Black Flag Commercial Bank for a loan! Open a new shop!"

"What?!"

Walter's beard trembled visibly:

"Open another store?! What am I going to open? Forget it, I don't ask this, do you participate? If you participate, fine! We can write the contract now"

contract
The term is a bit retro.
However, hearing the words of trust from these small merchants and citizens living in the Yale community, Carter's heart was somewhat touched.
The idea of ​​doing this is becoming more and more firm
"I'm not involved, um. I'm not specifically involved! But the construction of the entire project will be led by Mr. Stevens and me!"

"Deputy Principal Stevens? What do you want?"

"Build a commercial street!"

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

"Actually, I had this idea a long time ago, just like Harvard Square. Around Yale University, I also want to build such a street with a concentration of commercial facilities! The part where Ogland Street and Elm Street border is currently my favorite One of the alternatives”

"I need someone to answer my call, and someone to support me!"

"Then you found me?!"

Walter's pupils widened again
For a moment, I didn't know whether to say, did the other party think highly of me, or did the other party look down on me
Take the intersection of Oakland and Elm Street as the center of the business circle around the school.I'm afraid none of the nearby residents would be unhappy!

Not to mention doing business by yourself, at least the rent will have to rise severely!

This kind of good thing needs to find someone to answer the call?

It needs to be in advance, and the projects of the participants are finalized one by one like today, which often only shows one thing: this project is not optimistic!
A thing that was disliked by all the surrounding residents, found himself. It was hard for Walter not to suspect that Carter was taking himself for a fool.

But out of respect for Carter Capital, Walter didn't directly say the words of rejection:

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

"Why else, traffic! New Haven City Hall is just to the south, and the nearest subway station is just across the street. The city circle is always expanding slowly, and the current city center is right on the land under our feet. .But it’s no secret that construction on West Haven has started.”

"Based on my judgment of the future, the future city center, especially in terms of leisure and entertainment. This urban comprehensive entertainment center will not be here. For young and restless college students, it is impossible not to go out to play! At that time, they must run this way!"

Carter has long had the idea of ​​building the Yale University Commercial Street and Snack Street.Some related work has also been done. After all, this commercial street and snack street were the first methods that Carter figured out could be used to relieve Yale's financial pressure.

It didn't come in handy at the time, but now it's used directly, and it seems to be good!
"The center of Yale is in the old campus, but this is not a geographical center of Yale. On the contrary, the old campus, which is opposite to the New Haven city government, I don't think it can be simply regarded as a part of Yale. I have always It’s looking at Yale University and New Haven as a whole.”

"The old campus is not the center of Yale. If Ogle Street and Elm Street only serve Yale University, it is also not a good location. But if you look at the whole city, it is now a well-deserved center!"

"Even if the city's economic center is moved to West Haven in the future, it will also be a sub-city center. After all, Yale is so big, it is almost impossible to relocate. As long as Yale is here, the environment here will not be bad, and The population will not be too small!"

"Besides, placing it on the side of Ogrande Street can cover more citizens. No matter how I think about expanding the source of customers, I feel that this should be a kind of protection for your businessmen?!"

"That's the way it is, but these years, business has become more and more difficult! The school and the city government were not able to deal with it before, but it's getting better now. But, who knows what will happen here after you leave?"

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

I just know that money is getting harder and harder to earn!
Start easily, open a shop for custom curtains, and make curtains for people.After a year, after removing the rent and costs, you can still save a small hundred thousand.Later, it became more and more difficult. In the end, even with the sales of smart clothes rails, the annual gross profit could not reach [-].
This part of the experience in business is not a good experience, which is the fundamental factor that makes the surrounding residents, including Walter, full of doubts about doing business.But if it was just that, the situation at Yale would not be so bad
Compared with the macroscopic problem, a more realistic problem is the chief culprit hindering Yale's current development!
"Will the people from the Commercial Bureau cause trouble? Will the police turn a blind eye to our call to the police? Don't think I'm joking! It's not like those black dogs can't do this kind of thing! Deliberately delaying and dawdling on the way to the police For a while, or pretending to be a symbol, fooling around."

"They arrived 1 minute late, and I might have one more table smashed! If it is more serious, I might even lose my life in a store. I can still take this risk, but if there is another one."

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

Whether it is the Washington, DC police in the Warren v.
On that night in Hewitt, when the Yale campus police did not move and the town police were late, Carter could fully understand Walter's concern.

Originally, the tense relationship between the local school and the town police did not pay much attention to Yale's affairs.Another Warren case has caused almost all residents in the United States to 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't live anymore, don't want to live, and want to pull two backs
For ordinary people, today's times can be called troubled times.Ambitious people 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 now it's different! 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!"

"In the future, I can't save too much. But the most basic security issue, as long as there is B-5, you don't have to worry at all!"
