Chen Cao noticed that the town's recent situation was not very good.

The unemployment rate is as high as 20%, which is a very scary number.

In the past, many people relied on breweries to work and live, and together with one-stop sales and transportation, they occupied a large part of their jobs.

Ever since the brewery caught fire, calls to rebuild the brewery have been loud.

It was the new mayor Afat who proposed to rebuild the brewery, which won the support of the townspeople and defeated the competition.

But when Afat came to power, he did not keep his promises.

He actually planned to engage in agriculture, and he also borrowed a huge amount of money from the bank.

A full $200 million.

What is the concept of $200 million?

That's pretty much the number of agricultural output in the larger Los Angeles area.

But Afat actually spent $200 million on agriculture in Dashan Town.

Of course, he also knew that the land in Dashan Town was not suitable for growing crops.

Because the salinity value of the land in Dashan Town is too high.

Therefore, a large part of the 200 million US dollars is actually used for land salinization.

But as it turned out, Afat's idea was naïve.

The salinity of the land in Dashan Town was much higher than he expected.

A large amount of money was invested in it, and a piece of land was treated by desalinization.

Then the crops are planted, and they all die every few days.

After re-testing, it was found that the salinity of the deep soil was not low.

If it is to be fully processed, it will take not two hundred million dollars, but two billion dollars.

200 million dollars is enough to deal with hundreds of acres of land, how many crops can be grown in a few hundred acres?

Relying on a few hundred acres of land to repay a loan of $200 million, it is estimated that it will take several hundred years.

The result was an anger to the bank, and then a large amount of land in the town was forcibly expropriated by the bank.

Now half of the land in Dashan Town is in the hands of the bank.

Under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter who owns the land.

But in the hands of the bank, then the problem is serious.

Because banks sell to whomever they want.

If it's Chen Cao, it's okay to buy land to build a house, or use it as his own back garden.

If it is sold to a chemical plant, the residents of the town are afraid of dying.

The people in the bank don't care if the people in the town oppose it or not.

For them, whoever offers the highest price sells to whomever they want.

However, it is difficult to obtain the approval of the local government for the construction of the Meidi chemical plant.

So a lot of chemical plants are located in remote areas.

But now the town government still owes a lot of money, and if you want to oppose it, you have to consider the bank's attitude first.

But this matter has nothing to do with Chen Cao.

Anyway, Chen Cao doesn't rely on anyone in the town to make money.

Moreover, Chen Cao himself has a green card, and he has no right to raise objections to the new mayor.

Anyway, the new mayor was chosen by themselves.

The sins of heaven are forgivable, but the sins of oneself cannot be lived.

The new mayor of the town with low eyes and skills really has no management skills.

The slogan shouted louder than anyone else during the election campaign, eliminating unemployment.

As a result, the unemployment rate broke through the record.

Chen Cao occasionally passed by the entrance of the town government, and could see people blocking the office building to protest and get Afat to step down.

Chen Cao is half an outsider here, and he doesn't even have the right to vote, except for verbal support for Dean Slot, there is no way to influence the town's vote.

"I've arranged for people to spread in the town, so it's better for me to come back and continue the momentum of being mayor. Dean Slote said.

Chen Cao glanced at Dean Slot, and sure enough, it was an old fox.

This method is many times higher than that of the new mayor.

In the past, Dean Slote did not have a good reputation.

But it did do a lot of practical things.

Dean Slot's personal virtues aside, at least his abilities are there.

"Chen, what do you think if I say, I want you to invest in a brewery?" asked Dean Slote tentatively.

"This ......" Chen Cao really didn't expect Dean Slote to make such a request.

You must know that Chen Cao has no concept of running a brewery, and he does not know how to manage it.

"Chen, in the past, when the brewery was here, sales in the Los Angeles area were very good, and there were millions of dollars in profits every year, and the sales were very stable, and those sales did not disappear, and I still have the contact information of those distributors, so it is easier to open up the situation than a new brand. ”

"Mr. Slote, I really didn't plan on doing this. ”

Chen Cao has always stayed away from industries that he is not familiar with.

Because I am not familiar with it, I am worried about losing money.

And managing a company can be very cumbersome.

Chen Cao didn't want to trap himself because of this.

"Chen, if you are afraid that you don't know how to manage it, you can hand it over to a professional manager, and your old friend Bent, he is an old employee of the brewery on the spot, and he debugs the taste of wheat beer is ancestral, because of this skill, he has always been a taste tuner who is not available in the brewery. ”

"How much do I need to invest in rebuilding the brewery?" asked Chen.

"At least five million dollars. ”

Five million dollars, Chen Cao took it out.

But this is an investment, not a playhouse.

Especially in an industry that Chen Cao himself is not familiar with.

"I can't answer your question right away, I need to think again. ”

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news. ”

Chen Cao has a rough idea of Dean Slote's tricks.

I just want to rely on my own investment to build a brewery, and then pull a wave of popularity and regain the position.

However, it also means that his interests in Big Mountain are tied to Dean Slote.

I don't know if Dean Slote did it on the fly, or if it was a long-term plan.

However, if the conditions are right, Chen Cao would rather work with Dean Slott than with an idiot like Alpha.

Dean Slote knew the truth that the point was going to stop, and he didn't continue to pester.

After Fari and Azna came out of the supermarket, they left.

"Fali, we'll go to Bant's house for dinner at noon. ”

"Okay. ”

Chen Cao took out the phone: "Bant, are you at home?"

"I'm here, Chen, what are you doing? Are you going to come here?"

"Farrie and I, too lazy to cook, are going to go to your house for a meal, you won't turn us away. ”

"Come on, I've been home alone for two weeks, Mary and Ken are busy with each other, and I don't have time to come back, so I'll eat by myself every day, and it's great that you can come and eat with me." "Bant is very welcoming to the Chen family.

"We were empty-handed this time, and we didn't bring any gifts. ”

"I'd better you don't bring anything, bring gifts every time, and I have to prepare gifts every time I go to such a house, it's too troublesome. "Bant is outspoken and quick to say whatever he wants.

"Then we'll get there. ”
