Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Carter doesn't care what investment philosophy Quantum Fund adheres to. To understand the future, it's enough to know that you can make money. As long as you can make money, it doesn't matter what your philosophy is...

Compared with Soros's speech, Carter was more concerned about Julian's preparations to leave Kidder Company and pursue a solo career. Whether it was the previous contacts or the appearance of Julian's circle of friends this time, Carter felt that this person was not simple.

The investment company or fund he founded after his solo career will probably not be too bad in the future. It is also a target worthy of investment. Even compared to Soros, Lynch and others he just met, Julian is naturally more familiar with Carter.

I feel more comfortable trusting him with my money.

However, Julian has no idea of ​​​​flying solo at the moment, or he does not want to be so anxious to go solo. Then Carter has no choice but to temporarily invest the funds in Quantum Fund and Magellan Fund.

Quantum Fund investment is more troublesome. Due to the high leverage of hedge funds, in order to circumvent the supervision of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Carter has to find a way to first transfer the money abroad, and then transfer it as a non-U.S. citizen foreign investor.

Money invested in Quantum Fund.

Carter had always felt that this kind of operation was just like taking off his pants to fart, but considering that this kind of operation was entrusted to Julian, he didn't have to worry about it, so he didn't care.

On the contrary, Magellan Fund's investment was much more convenient. The day after the banquet, Carter couldn't wait to call Peter Lynch, sign an investment contract, and then transfer 1.5 million to the Magellan Fund's fundraising account.

After US dollars are obtained and the investment certificate is obtained, the investment is considered completed.

In Carter's mind, it would be safer to invest the 1.5 million he earned in the Magellan Fund. And the 6 million in risk money would be invested in the Quantum Fund to make a big gain with a small amount. After the credit crisis was resolved at Black Bank in his hometown, he usually

There is no need to reserve too much cash. Just leaving tens of thousands of dollars in hand to cover travel expenses is more than enough.

After quickly settling the important matter of investing money, Carter did not intend to stay in New York for a long time. After bidding farewell to Julian and agreeing that he would help mail the Quantum Fund investment certificate back to Douglas, Carter continued his journey with Melis.

.

When he entered New York, he had a huge sum of six million dollars, and when he left New York, he only had tens of thousands of dollars in pocket. Carter couldn't help but feel a little funny while driving around in the car. Then he thought about the income that these two investments might bring to him in the future.

Carter's heart felt hot.

Now it's good, you don't need to worry about lending anymore. Enjoy your life peacefully. After more than ten years, you will have money to invest in Microsoft, Google, Abba Ababa...

After leaving New York and heading west, the first place to arrive is the Great Lakes region. The Great Lakes region is often referred to as the Northeast Industrial Belt of the United States. After leaving New York, we first go south along Lake Huron, briefly passing through Pennsylvania, and then entering Ohio.

state.

Carter suddenly had the idea to visit what Rogers called the Pearl of Industry. Cleveland, the closest big city in Ohio to Lake Erie, happened to be one of the most well-known cities in the United States in the future.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are one of Carter's favorite NBA teams in the future! Why is it one? Because he is a pure fake fan...

When I first learned about Jordan, I was a fan of the Bulls. Later, when I learned that Jordan had retired, I was a fan of Kobe. However, after Kobe's accident, this guy turned around and became a fan of James in an extremely shameless manner...

Carrying the shame of being a "house slave with three surnames", Carter drove to Cleveland with great enthusiasm. But before he entered the city, Carter saw the horror ahead that looked like the coming of the doomsday from a long distance away.

scene.

The thick smoke soaring into the sky almost completely blocked the sun. Rows of towering blast furnaces stood straight on both sides of the road into the city, with thick streaks of thick smoke rising straight into the sky from the top of the blast furnaces.

The dim red sunset jumped left and right in the gray-black smoke, falling on the ground through the gaps. It illuminated the city in front of Carter, as if it was shrouded in an extremely huge wildfire, with some dark tall buildings.

The shadows are mixed with the sad red, making the whole city look extremely eerie...

What the hell do you call this a pearl?! Carter's heart was roaring...

"Brother, it looks so good here. Why don't we go?"

He braked and stopped on the side of the road. Listening to Melis's words, Carter nodded repeatedly:

"If I don't go, I won't go. This is so damn terrible! This smog is simply..."

Carter may understand the pride of Americans these days. After all, it would be hard to find such exaggerated pollution emissions in any other place. In the minds of Americans these days, this is not pollution, this is the charm of industry.

, is the visual impact of large machinery!

But for Carter, living in such a city, no, even just traveling, would be too long for his life. People who have never seen the industrial development period of foreign countries always like to complain about how heavy the industrial pollution in the future motherland will be, and Carter also

It is acknowledged that in industrial development there will inevitably be a period of development pains at the expense of environmental damage.

But it was so destructive that the thick smoke blocked the sunlight, which still amazed Carter. Today's Cleveland is no weaker than the foggy London that Carter once saw in photos!

In a place like this, take a breath. The smog content is definitely much more than oxygen. Thinking about the two investments that he has not yet covered, Carter decisively chooses to turn around. Don’t wait for this damn place!

"Here you go, let's go camp by Lake Erie tonight?"

"good..."

Torn for a second between the shame of sleeping in a tent with Carter and opening a hotel in the city in front of her, Melis, who was also frightened by the scene before her, quickly made a decision.

You can only get pregnant if you sleep, but if you enter this city, you may die... In comparison, a dog's life is more important!

And... besides, it doesn't seem like it's nothing to do with your brother, right?

Under Melis' complicated thoughts, Carter made a decisive U-turn in the car and headed straight for Lake Erie. It wasn't until he approached the lake area that the scenery gradually became clearer and brighter. Only then did Carter barely get rid of the shadow brought by Cleveland. Facing the impending sunset,

As the sun set, Carter drove off the road until he reached the lake. He found a small slope leeward from the wind and stopped the car.

"Okay, let's rest here tonight. Come and help set up the tent. Let me see how this thing is set up..."

Walking to the back of the car, he opened the trunk and took out the tent and the manual. Carter looked at it as he walked. After reading the manual and starting to work, Melis came belatedly and started to build the bedroom for the night together.

After finishing his work, Carter went around to collect some dead wood branches and built a bonfire in front of the tent. The symbolic meaning of this bonfire was completely greater than its practical significance. The brother and sister, who did not need to bake food or keep warm, sat on the small bonfire.

Before, I felt it was quite novel.

"Hey hey hey, this feels right. Wait, I'll play a song in the car again. There seems to be beer. Do you want some?"

There is always no shortage of snacks when traveling, and Carter doesn’t feel regretful if he doesn’t have a barbecue. This kind of life of leisurely admiring the night view and drinking two glasses of wine by the campfire was something Carter once lived when he just looked at other people’s photos and fantasized about it.

.It was quite refreshing when I actually experienced it.

"Hmm...ok."

By the time Carter came back with two bottles of beer happily, Melis was almost done struggling. She quietly poked Carter with her finger:

"Um...are we going to sleep together at night?"
