Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

After the topic has reached this point, it’s time to meet each other.

Carter looked at Melis, who was slumping over her meal next to her, hesitated for a moment, and then opened her mouth to speak.

"If you ask me what I want to do, of course it is investment. When you determine the future of this industry in your mind, it is normal to want to participate and get a share of the pie, right?"

"Normal, very normal! To tell you the truth, six years ago I was optimistic about the future of business jets, and that's why I finally made up my mind to spend $2 million to buy Gulfstream from Grumman. But what do you think of the market prospects?

You know, you have more knowledge than me, young people are not simple!"

Paulson smiled heartily, and looked at Carter more seriously this time. He really put Carter on an equal footing, and did not touch the food on the table, but looked at Carter with bright eyes.

"I feel very honored that you chose our Gulfstream as your target to enter the industry. Last year, I just increased my investment and bought the GA aircraft production line from Grumman, preparing to develop the third-generation Gulfstream by myself. The current situation is not bad.

It is expected to make its first experimental flight by the end of this year. If you are free then, you are welcome to attend our first flight ceremony."

"Thank you, I will definitely be there if I am free."

Carter nodded and nervously waited for Paulson's next words.

It seems a bit reckless to talk about investment business in this way. But Carter has never participated in direct investment in a company in his previous life, so he has no experience, and today he happened to meet the boss Paulson. To hurry up, he might as well directly

Showdown, we just want to give you money in exchange for the shares in your hands, what?!

"Hahaha, then do you have to leave your mailing address to me? Otherwise, how will I notify you then. Carter, I am a straightforward person, and I like your honesty. Let's be honest, I will not refuse investment.

"

"The two million six years ago, coupled with the purchase of a production line last year and subsequent investment in research and development, Gulfstream's current financial situation is actually not very good. The revenue and expenditure are very barely balanced. You can see the future of the general aviation market.

It can also be seen that the current market is sluggish. Although the impact on the truly high-end business jet market is not huge, it will be affected to some extent."

When Carter heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Even Melis, who was busy eating and had no interest in the conversation between the two, couldn't help but raise her head and watch.

According to this uncle, my brother can also become the boss of this aircraft company in the future? This is an aircraft company, it sounds very high-end!!

But Paulson's next words poured cold water on Carter's head.

"Not refusing investment does not mean that I will accept investment indiscriminately. Every investor is an in-depth partner of a company. Carter, how old are you this year? You should be less than 20 years old. I don't know whether to invest in Gulfstream."

It's your own decision, or the decision of the family behind you. But no matter which one, you have to let me know what you, or your family, can bring to Gulfstream."

As Paulson spoke, he couldn't help but take out a cigarette. After pulling out a cigarette, he pushed the cigarette box in front of Carter. Carter lit a cigarette without politeness. Carter always felt that something was missing when he was talking about business.

...

"Is it more customer resources, public relations, key technologies, or superb management experience that can improve Gulfstream's work efficiency? Without these, I'm afraid no potential company will be willing to accept your investment."

"The current Gulfstream is not as good as a big company like Delta, but since you are optimistic about Gulfstream, I will also confess my ambitions. I also believe that Gulfstream has a brilliant future. In this case, money has become

Minor."

"Even if I am temporarily short of money, I can still get a loan. There is no need to reduce my own shares and use more future benefits and power in exchange for the funds I can get from a loan."

After Paulson said this, he said no more. He just smoked a cigarette quietly and waited for Carter to throw out his chips. Now the question is, does Carter have any chips?

After listening to what Paulson said, Carter suddenly realized that he actually had nothing but money. If he had the kind of customer relationships that could afford to buy private jets, he would not have to worry about how to get into the Gulfstream; key technologies

It's even more nonsense. A liberal arts student in my previous life and a high school student in this life, who know nothing about aircraft manufacturing, can't twist screws as fast as a manual worker. The only management experience that has any hope...

After Carter thought about it, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had to admit that he didn't have the closest thing to him.

This is not because Carter is not confident. He managed the company in his previous life, which was a small company composed of three or five friends. He has no experience in managing medium and large companies at all. Even the day-to-day management of Black Bank is currently handled by Goodman.

.Besides, he still has to go to school, so he can’t go to work at Gulfstream, right?

Carter knew about some of the management concepts of later generations. But after starting his own business, Carter understood better the gap between theory and reality. Many times, if you devote 200% of your energy to something, you may not be able to adapt to it.

What's more, I don't have the energy now. If I want to use some empty management theories to deceive Paulson, I'm not treating the other party as a fool. That's deceiving myself as a fool.

No matter how bad Gulfstream is now, its asset scale is no worse than that of Black Bank, or even higher. And Paulson himself was able to spend two million US dollars six years ago. Don't forget, not counting this

In terms of borrowing money, the real money that old Black could allocate at will in Black's bank was only about 200,000, a full ten times difference.

If you want to fool such a person, just dream!

"Well, I kind of took it for granted. I don't have any family behind me. My father had a small bank in Douglas. After he died of a heart attack some time ago, I am now in charge of the bank. That's it, customer relations and management experience.

I don’t have any of those.”

It was the familiar death before departure again, and Carter sighed melancholy. Compared with other travelers who traveled through the air day and night, he looked more and more like a waste...

After sighing, Carter forcibly stood up and continued:

"Uncle Allen, let's just drop the investment in Gulfstream. But after all, I am also a banker. If Gulfstream needs funds in the future, I would like to ask my uncle to consider my bank."

"Haha, no problem. We are friends now. I believe in your future. The future will always belong to young people. Your current knowledge has surpassed many of your peers. I believe you will also stand out in the future. From now on we

Maybe they are also partners! Eat and eat, and if you don’t eat, it will get cold in a while. I have already asked someone to notify the pilot, and they will get on the plane to check it first..."

It was only then that Paulson began to move the knife and fork in front of him. He laughed and explained the previous investment problems, and was not in a hurry to ask about the loan. He didn't know whether he was really not in a hurry, or whether Gulfstream's financial situation was actually

Fortunately, no loan is required.

Carter is destined to not get an answer to this question.
