"Are you going to charge 0.4%?"

For a capital flow of US$100 million, as a sub-intermediary bank, a 0.4% handling fee is not considered high at this time. The channel fee of 0.4% also happens to be US$400,000, but Akio Toyoda is a little confused...

"0.4% is more reasonable. But the total investment of 100 million, let alone how many years it will be in place, is..."

"Are you afraid that I will worry about the water problem in the future?"

Carter smiled and clapped his fingers:

"I'm quite confident in you. Of course, I'm also very confident in our geographical environment in Georgia. The largest deep-water port on the east coast of the United States is right here, and it's very fast to get to Europe."

"With the energy crisis, Europe, like us, is having a hard time. This is an expansion opportunity for Japanese cars, which are known for their economy and durability, and it is also a development opportunity for me. If your profits continue to maintain a good growth rate, this handling fee It’s not that small. Even if you don’t make any additional increases in the future, at least you have to take away the salary of those employees at your Toyota factory from me!”

"I guess you used Bank of America's channel before. In terms of size and international settlement, I can't compare with him. But in Georgia, hey... American banks are not allowed to operate across state lines, so this On the other hand, you will come to me, and you can only come to me! 3,000 people will have a turnover of 24 million US dollars a year, and this part can charge a settlement fee of 0.5% according to the standard. That is 120,000 US dollars..."

"And I guess the current annual salary of 8,000 won't last long. Soon the average annual salary of our American workers will reach 10,000. It's not as good as your Japanese salary of two to three million yen a year, but it's not bad either. I have a bottom of 150,000 US dollars. After I have it, my loss will be reduced to 250,000... This 150,000 is just the work of your Toyota family, and the remaining 250,000..."

"Instead of thinking about the income issue, I am now thinking more about how to lure Honda and Nissan to Georgia. To be more precise, to my territory in Central and South China!"

Carter's account calculation is a bit simple. After all, in this year and month, the salary settlement of more than 3,000 people must be accurate. Black Bank's stretched manpower reserves alone will definitely not be enough. When the time comes to expand staff, wages will also be adjusted. Profits are compromised.

But, there are basically no local people who can work in the banking industry. And people from other places want to live there? Come and buy an apartment...

According to the current "Dogg standard" housing profit, it is basically equivalent to a year of free labor. And then in the next few years...do you really think that Toyota has not developed?

"I understand what you mean. We have 3,000 people, plus Honda and Nissan's factories, there are at least 6,000 people... At that time, the annual salary turnover alone will be 60 million, which is a settlement of 300,000 Profit. It means that you are using a loss risk of 100,000 yuan a year, a total of 1 million yuan, to gamble on the profits from our additional investment in the future..."

"Yes, that's what it means! I can still afford to lose 1 million US dollars. Besides, this is not a one-time loss, right? Okay, after I'm done, I'll go get the plan. The key points must be written clearly: Sub-level The settlement channel must be mine; the factory site selection must be on my territory...the core are these two points! Correspondingly, I am obliged to ensure the production problems of your factory. In addition to the influence of the labor union, there are other geographical influencing factors. , you can also find me..."

Thinking about his relationship with Mayors Ray Bolding and Benjamin, Carter patted his chest and spoke confidently:

"As long as you don't commit suicide, do anything illegal or get targeted by some big guys, I can help you solve ordinary minor problems!"

"That's definitely not the case. We are serious businessmen! We absolutely produce and operate legally!"

"That's right! Work!"

After drying himself off, he went to the dressing room and put on a clean robe. After Carter returned to the room, he began to prepare a plan. This kind of cooperation plan that is not on the table does not need to be too fancy.

It is enough to point out what you can do and what you need. The cake does not need to be painted. People want to see it, but also look at the real things. For example: how much can you produce, how much can you do, how can I trust you?

Can you do what you promised?

Focusing on these three points, Carter quickly wrote the plan:

I can offer 10 million to 50 million U.S. dollars. Once the cooperation is completed, the money will be received within two weeks! The market value of the ht stock I hold is more than 150 million, no, even the value of tangible assets, with the 100 million U.S. dollars in round A financing in place.

, the actual assets also exceeded 110 million.

It is really not difficult to get a loan of 50 million for about 59% of the shares! The time limit is two weeks, which is the time Carter has reserved for the bank to mobilize funds;

What can I do?

Ensure the normal and stable production and operation of Japanese car companies and eliminate the influence of various unstable factors such as the American Automobile Workers Union, local tax bureaus, police, gangsters, etc. Reduce the non-operating costs of Japanese car companies in the United States once and for all!

As for how to do it in the end, in addition to explaining your own advantages, Jimmy Carter’s letter of introduction is the most important thing!

Carter and Akio Toyoda agreed that it is not appropriate to contact the Automobile Manufacturers Association directly before the letter of introduction arrives in Japan. Directly packaging the letter of recommendation in the plan is the best way to operate.

In the words of Akio Toyoda:

"Think about it! When my dad opened the plan and laughed secretly, thinking you were bragging, suddenly a letter written by the former President of the United States fell out... What do you think his expression should be?

Then we shouldn’t take it seriously? At least we should think highly of you!”

While waiting for the letter of introduction to arrive, Carter was not idle. After all, Tokyo is quite hot in the summer...

In addition to experiencing the Japanese culture in depth, Carter also did not forget to take a look at the medium and large-scale washing equipment produced in Japan. A large washing machine used in a washing center can wash 500 sets of bed sheets and quilts at one time. Just the 60 that he planned

A hotel has at least 4,800 sets of laundry needs every day.

Two hours of washing at a time, and a washing machine must work continuously for 20 hours to complete, which obviously cannot meet Carter's needs. Since he does not know whether he can receive orders from the city hotel company, Carter does not dare to place too many orders. For the time being, he will

Ordered six units.

It counts as both the deposit and the purchase price!

If there are no more orders in the future, then these six washing machines will be scattered across Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and there will only be two in one city. Not too much of a waste...

If there are more washing orders, then Japanese manufacturers should continue to provide themselves with more washing machines at negotiated preferential prices!

Six washing machines are not cheap, and even Carter felt that buying such a large item these days is much more expensive than in later generations. However, the pain caused by spending more than 80,000 US dollars soon became apparent in the singing and dancing in Shinjuku District.

The streets of Kitimachi disappeared...

Don’t get me wrong, according to the law, all transactions are illegal in Japan. But chatting, playing, and even watching movies together are not illegal...

Under the gorgeous neon lights at night, eating, playing, and rubbing... isn't this much more interesting than just picking up a gun and mounting a horse?

In just two days, Carter was completely lost in this neon light...
Chapter completed!
