Chapter 3 Planning

Chapter 3 Planning

After inspecting his territory, William White returned to his old castle. It has been refurbished and expanded over generations. This old castle is already a complex of buildings.

Don't expect beautiful architecture, it doesn't exist in Texas. Like the Texan personality, roughness is the only style.

The lunch prepared by Forber was very rich, at least the Boston lobster was huge.

Texans are also very rough in their food, they eat everything after roasting it. It is also called Texas barbecue.

You're not going to have a good time in Texas without a good appetite. Because you're going to be rude when you're a guest.

There is really no way to do this. They brought a large plate of meat. If you put it down without taking two bites, the host will not be happy.

Another feature is that it is raw, and the steaks here are all bloody. Usually only women choose medium-rare steaks. And this five maturity is at most equivalent to three maturity in other places.

What? You say heaven.

There is no way to say this, in the eyes of the people of the Celestial Dynasty, these are raw meat. They will say that you drink blood like hair.

In fact, there is a misunderstanding here. The grassland peoples of the Celestial Dynasty also ate relatively raw food. This is actually determined by the freshness of the food. The beef sold in Tianchao Supermarket, God knows it is the meat of that year. If you make it too raw, there will be problems.

He really doesn't care about the farm. These managers have been working on the farm all their lives. They naturally know how to operate.

The continued depreciation of the US dollar is dragging down the economies of the world. If the Federal Reserve does not take measures, everyone may really go to war.

The reasons for the world wars are actually economic problems. The domestic economy is in a mess, and the country's managers will naturally shift their targets. Otherwise, they are the ones who are unlucky.

This wave of gold is indeed a bit outrageous, from the post-war to the present decades. Gold has soared from $30 an ounce to over $300 now. According to the current situation. There seems to be a lot of room left.

In order to curb inflation, the Federal Reserve began to raise interest rates frantically. Now it seems that instead of controlling inflation, it has messed up the economy.

There is severe inflation on the one hand and severe deflation on the other. The US dollar is depreciating and prices are soaring. The prices of agricultural products did not increase significantly. On the contrary, sales dropped very seriously.

White Farm is very close to Houston, which has a greater advantage. Other farms in Texas are having a tough time. Many small and medium farms are at risk of going bankrupt.

"Forbe, let's reduce some production, this situation will continue for a long time."

"Okay sir, we were planning to reduce dairy production by 5%. Meat was also planned to be reduced by 5%."

"This ratio is about the same, and it will continue to decrease by 5% next year."

"Hey, I just don't know how long this kind of life will last?"

"It will be three to five years at most, and it should be better in the future."

"My God, if it takes three years, a lot of farms will go out of business."

"This is certain. Small and medium-sized farms have relatively poor ability to resist risks."

"Forbe, I don't plan to use my account to speculate on futures this time."

"London is relatively simple, but the United States is still in trouble."

"Be careful, open two one million dollar accounts. Arrange two mature and prudent people."

"Okay, master, I will arrange it right away."

It's only April now, and he still has a lot of time to prepare.

The so-called wealthy class always has some details that the outside world does not know. There are more or less overseas capital. The White family is no exception. His father has a deposit of more than 10 million dollars in a Swiss bank.

The inheritance tax of US imperialism is a joke. Only for those who have accidents. It has no effect on the top dignitaries at all.

The biggest impact is actually the farmers. These guys tend to have little cash. After a few generations, even the largest farm will not be able to hold.

People levy inheritance tax, not based on your annual profits. The main measure is the value of your land.

And to be honest, you may not be able to sell it at the price assessed by these bastards. So around two thousand years ago, many farms in Texas were actually managed by the state government. The heirs simply cannot afford the taxes.

"Forbe, find someone to buy the items in this list."

"Okay, master, these are all electronic products, right?"

"Yes, I still need a few more people, three software engineers, and two electronic engineers. Find them through a headhunting company, and ask me to write them all."

"Okay, master, I'll do it right away."

To William White, these things are simply small money, let alone he doesn't care. Faber doesn't care. As long as the young master is happy.

The United States is facing industrial transformation, and so is the White family. This is the best time, but also the most dangerous time.

Get past that time frame and you could be a great company. Because after a few years you will find that all your competitors are dead. Your company has a natural monopoly attribute.

Personal PC is in the ascendant, and many major manufacturers are still waiting to see. They don't think personal PCs have a future.

Apple's first-generation machine is a joke to them. This is a poorly made thing. The things that come out of the garage are really not reliable.

The Apple II is more like a game console. This thing is really useless.

Apple is still like this, other companies are even more unbearable. Big Blue doesn't even want to make minicomputers. Mainframe computers and databases are their favorites.

Of course, William will not give up on the big cake in the IT industry. There are no tricks on the hardware for the time being, he needs to focus on the software.

Don't underestimate Apple's second-generation machine. This gadget was used in Europe until the 1990s. That is, after the Pentium appeared, the second-generation machine was completely withdrawn from the market.

This is really impossible, the gap is really huge. After win95 went on the market, there was really nothing to play with other systems. Hitting the street is the only option.

The first task now is to pay taxes, and these things have not been handled well. These billions of dollars of property do not belong to him yet.

Inheritance tax is really bullshit, it's a shameless plunder of personal wealth. It is not surprising that Maozi chooses to do this, but it is strange that the United States Emperor also does this. These guys came to the New World to evade taxes. Why have you given up the foundation of the country now? It's so confusing.

"Master, dinner is ready."

"Okay, give me a glass of red wine."

"Okay, sir"

"Forbe, the standard of food for the family and farm workers should be improved. It doesn't matter if we consume more."

"Okay, master, I'll go and implement it right away."

"Forber, since meat and dairy products are not acceptable, let's add some grape-growing areas. After all, red wine can be stored for a long time. It's just a matter of adding more stocks."

"Master, there are still 70% of the wine that has not been shipped this year." And the quality is not bad.

"I'm not afraid of this. I mean that the output will be doubled within three years. The surrounding farms that are not doing well can also be purchased. The business in the oil field should be sold in the future."

"Well, your father also intended to make a move at the beginning. It's just that the price is a bit low now."

"Haha, it's okay, Uncle Fu. As long as the oil price stays strong, these things will come back, so don't worry about them for now."

"Okay, master, I see."
