Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States
Chapter 19 Inexpensive
"Oh, okay, okay, don't look at me like that. Let me tell you, this chair is really comfortable to sit on. Don't think it's just a folding chair. It can be used as a normal chair at home.
For chairs. Besides, look at how this festive red color matches my blue sports car."
"Since ancient times, red and blue have been out of CP. When we are on the road and see the beautiful scenery, we can stop the car, put down two chairs, sit down leisurely, drink a cup of coffee, enjoy the scenery and then continue to set off. This is
What a pleasant place to travel!”
After being stared at by Melis for a long time like she was looking at an idiot, Carter couldn't stand the weird look anymore. Without any explanation, Carter was worried that his reputation as a crazy person would spread throughout Douglas and even in that small town in the future.
After living for two years, Carter didn't want to become Douglas's "celebrity" and be pointed at everywhere he went...
"hehe..."
Melis sneered and watched her brother's quibbles quietly. There are a hundred and ten folding chairs. Do you call this a place for guests to sit in a bank? When will there be more than a hundred people lined up in front of the bank?
Already?
Oh, the collective withdrawals made a few days ago do not count...
Eight teller windows seem redundant, and there are still queues...
"Mr. Black, here's the statistics. There are a total of one hundred and ten folding chairs at $3 each, a total of $330, a family tent of $58, $388 plus tax, a total of $415.32. You can give 3 points to 415 yuan. In addition,
The driver will bring the delivery bill to the recipient when the time comes, and we will not collect it now."
"Okay, no problem. I'll write the check now."
Except for the strangeness of hearing the salesperson's stingy zero mark, Carter had no objections to anything else. Georgia's comprehensive consumption tax is usually around 7%, neither high nor low, very moderate.
More than four hundred U.S. dollars may be a lot for ordinary Americans in this year and age, but don't forget that you still have more than six million dollars in your account. The money borrowed from the bank was paid interest-free before departure.
The loan method was transferred to Carter's personal account. It was only four hundred yuan, a drizzle!
It is now 1979, and China has just begun to reform. Carter knows that at this time, the country wants to develop its economy and is in urgent need of foreign exchange. There are many things that Carter cannot do. Even if he has 6 million US dollars in hand, he cannot donate them all to become a saint in China.
Ah. But I can help as much as I can. Even if the country can only get one dollar for each of these more than a hundred chairs, that’s still a good thing~
Carter sighed while signing the check. With great ability comes great responsibility. In his previous life, if he wanted to do something good, all he could do was donate ten yuan to a charity fund every month and do his best. Now he can do it
Buying more than a hundred useless chairs in one go feels the same as donating ten yuan in my previous life.
Not only am I not heartbroken, but I feel a little ashamed... Is it too little?
"Well, can this oven be cheaper? $23 is a bit too much. Can it be $21?"
Just as Carter was signing the check, the black father and son saw that the salesperson was temporarily free. The black father quickly came over with his son. He was holding a barbecue grill in his hand and looked at the salesperson with a worried face.
Don’t think that bargaining is not available in the United States. In general stores, bargaining is normal. Especially in the not-so-rich era, but speaking of it, there are still leisurely people who take their children to outdoor stores to buy picnic supplies. At least they are middle class, and this is still the case.
The relatively rare black middle class...
Carter, who was filling out the check, turned his head and looked at them curiously. The black father wore a short-sleeved plaid shirt and a pair of khaki pants, a very common middle-class dress. The child stared eagerly at the small toast in his father's hand.
furnace...
“Hey, how many times have you asked? I said $23, it’s $23! If you have money, buy it, if you don’t, get out!”
When facing Carter, the polite salesperson was not polite at all when facing the black father and son. Not only did he scold impatiently, he even started to try to grab the oven from the black father's hand.
"Sir, $22, is $22 OK? $23 is really a bit much. My child's school organizes an outing. This is his last year at school, and he has never participated in an outing before. I...
I want to fulfill his little wish, but now we don’t have much savings and we still have to live, so I really can’t spend much money to buy it, but I really need it.”
Just as the salesperson started to do something, the black father hugged the oven in his arms. Just when Carter thought that this man was going to do a live version of "zero dollar shopping", the black father suddenly cried. It was very abrupt and inappropriate.
Carter cried like a black man in his impression.
"His mother has no job, and the whole family can only rely on my income to support their lives. On one side is the family, and on the other side is the child's dream. You should also be a father, right? Please, please stand from the perspective of a father,
Have mercy on this child. Even if it is 23 US dollars, can you let me take it away with 22 US dollars first, and I will definitely come over next month to pay back the remaining 1 US dollar."
"Dad, we don't want it anymore! Let's go!"
Unlike the black father's tears, the little black boy behind him looked a little indifferent. He stared at the salesman silently and tugged on his father's clothes. Perhaps, he also knew that his idea would place too much burden on the family.
...
This noisy show made Carter, who was watching, feel a little upset. He couldn't help but think of the line in "I'm Not the God of Medicine":
There is only one disease in this world, the disease of poverty!
However, Carter is not a saint. He is troubled by things that have nothing to do with him, but he will not interfere. In fact, in Carter's impression, black people have never been very good.
This is also the reason why Carter was willing to temporarily shelve loans to black people after Goodman simply said it.
Low quality, violent, always shouting "Black Lives Matter" and then turning around to bully Asians who are also ethnic minorities...The various behaviors of black people in the future will make it difficult for Carter to identify with them.
But thinking about "Black Lives Matter" almost made Carter happy again. Atlanta was one of the strongholds of the 2013 "Black Lives Matter" movement, and they even hung a giant portrait of Floyd on the world-famous fake
On the building next to the news manufacturing center. Who would have thought that the arrogant black people in Atlanta in the future would be pointed at and scolded by an ordinary white salesperson. This does not look like "Black Lives Matter" at all.
It’s just that “black lives are not expensive”, and they are even a bit cheap, not even worth a dollar...
I can only say that the United States is too magical. From the white supremacy of the Ku Klux Klan to the white left and Black Lives Matter... it’s like you sing and I come on stage. You never know what the next political correctness will be in this place.
...
Wait...what did I think of just now? The...fake n behind Black Lives Matter!
N's headquarters is in Atlanta. Not to mention the future fake news manufacturing center and the inventor of the underworld filter, N is undoubtedly one of Atlanta's iconic big companies.
But so far, n’s program. Maybe this is also an investment opportunity?
