"Mr. Black, you see! In both plans, the locations of the processing plants I have determined so far are fixed. I plan to place the meat processing plant in Memphis, Tennessee, and the corn processing plant in Kayleigh, Illinois.

Near En County.”

"Beef cattle from near Cedar Mountain, Texas, are transported to the processing plant in Memphis, a one-way distance of about 717 kilometers; broiler chickens from Douglas, Georgia, Fitzgerald are transported to Memphis, a one-way distance of about 680 kilometers..."

"At present, it is not as convenient as Mississippi. But on the one hand, I consider that the supply of eggs will be more convenient there, and for the future, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri near Memphis are all

It is a very important agricultural and animal husbandry production area. The factory is built here. During the expansion stage, there is no need to build a branch factory or relocate the whole. The expansion can be directly based on the existing factory..."

Listening to Montgomery talk, Carter had no objection. Mississippi is sandwiched between Georgia and Texas. It is indeed the same as Montgomery said. It is convenient now but will be troublesome later. It is too far south and the state's own infrastructure

It’s not very good, and it will have a big impact on future supply.

But Memphis is different. As the largest city in Tennessee, it is not only close to several major raw material production areas, but also located in the middle of the United States. Whether it is land transportation or air transportation, Memphis is more convenient in general. Just choose here, and what about transportation?

, we have to rely heavily on air transport...

and...

"Mr. Genas, judging from your thoughts, do you plan to use Memphis as the center of the supply chain and radiate outwards in the future? There is no problem with this idea, but I am more concerned about one issue now, which is population outflow."

Carter smiled bitterly, and after passing out a cigarette to Montgomery, he directly told the inside story:

"Looking at the current situation in my hometown, in terms of employees, I will definitely use a lot of Georgians. When the stores are expanded, the problem is not bad, especially now that the first targets are big cities. They only rely on the income from the store work

, it is not realistic to move to those cities. Moreover, the catering industry is relatively mobile. Now we use full-time employees. In the future, we should gradually adopt the same model as McDonald's, with full-time employees as the backbone and part-time workers.

of..."

"But the processing center is different. This is a fixed factory. On the one hand, it can gather a large number of people, and on the other hand, housing prices in Tennessee are definitely lower than those in big cities. Suppose I send 300 workers to the processing center.

Maybe in the next few years, when they have some extra money and the economic situation improves, they may not come back."

"Personally, I don't care whether they can get out, but the city government does. Especially since they can't use administrative orders to prevent population migration, if residents migrate seriously, this is not good news for them.

Three hundred workers may take away three hundred families, and thousands of people will be lost! You also understand the background of the establishment of ht company. In this regard, I have to consider the situation in Pilsen City..."

"Do you have any thoughts on this issue?"

The issue of population migration is a relatively sensitive topic in the United States. Legally speaking, the United States does not have a household registration system based on zoning or household registration. The free movement of residents is completely feasible, and even this itself is a citizen's right.

Local governments are not allowed to block or refuse the entry of their own citizens. But the reality is that almost no municipal government wants residents within its jurisdiction to leave in large numbers. After all, if people flow out, the city may be gone...

Then the mayor, the council members, all have to be laid off collectively. This situation is naturally something the local government does not want to see...

Don't look at the fact that Rayboulding is very active in promoting the proposal now. He is only so active because this is the only way out of the alternatives. Either a large number of people will lose their jobs and eventually run away and never come back; or they can choose to cooperate with Carter to preserve employment.

Let people not be so disappointed in Pearson, and they can come back to visit under the influence of their hometown feelings. At least before they can afford to settle in other places, they can go home often to visit... and spend a little money by the way?

Although in theory, when the employees of ht company can save enough savings to buy houses and settle in other places, the scale of ht company will definitely not be small. At that time, there will be no shortage of employees, even if it is for the convenience of management

, and it is impossible for it to be filled with almost as many Georgians as it is today.

Recruiting some local employees and creating some local employment are all things that must be done. However, HT Company can escape the influence of Pearson, but Forest Bank cannot escape! It cannot escape! The savings bank has lost its storage space.

What else is it called a savings bank?!

Moreover, the massive outflow of the population from Pilsen City will inevitably directly affect Forest Bank's deposit problems and derived revenue issues. For reasons of love and profit, Carter does not want to have a stalemate with the Pilsen City Government. So, what should we do?

You have to think carefully about secretly helping the Pearson government to limit the outflow of employees...

"I think it's better to block this problem than to clear it up. In other words, I don't have any good solution."

Hearing Carter mention this sensitive issue, Montgomery also had a headache. Things that cannot be prohibited by law, how the hell do you, a small company, expect to be able to control them?

"The previous problem is not big. It is unlikely that they will have enough savings to buy a house within at least three years. Even if they save a down payment for a mortgage, it will take at least three years. This is still a situation where housing prices will not rise in the future, but with the current situation

Judging from the inflation rate, this is impossible."

"Let's calculate a more conservative number, four years. That is to say, it will be four years before a large number of people move out to settle. So before that, they still have to go back to Pearson for Christmas, Thanksgiving and so on."

"Then let's see if the repatriated money and the taxes paid by our company can give the Pilsen city government some spare money for development and construction. If the hometown is well built and there are more job opportunities, who would be willing to leave their hometown?

?”

"Um..."

Carter held his chin with one hand and carefully read Montgomery's last words:

In the final analysis, Carter felt that he was a little influenced by comments such as "Americans love to move" often made by future marketing accounts, which made him a little nervous.

It is not wrong to say that Americans love to move. The migration rate of Americans is almost always among the highest in the world, but the reason for most population migration is actually work.

Either they had to leave their homeland because of unemployment, or they were tempted by the high salary and went to their dreams and distant places...

Just like the line in "Chinatown" says: Everyone who is wandering outside and not going home has his own difficulties. Americans have no establishment, no iron rice bowl, and economic crises of all sizes are like a big aunt.

It must come once every ten years, every twenty years... It may only be late, but it is never absent...

Then there is unemployment, migration...

They move a lot, but that doesn't mean they really like to move...
