When there is money to be made, the nose of capital is more sensitive than the nose of a dog.

Michigan has not yet formally approved a document allowing private prisons to operate in the state, and the first private prison established in '84, the private prison CCA established by Tennessee Money Republican Chairman Tom Bailey and his two friends, smelled the smell and chased all the way to Leilani Taylor.

"CCA's Tom Bailey wants to come and visit me?"

When Curtis Cnutson broke the news that Tom Bailey, the chairman of the board of directors of the CCA, had come to Michigan and wanted to visit him with Leilani Taylor, Leilani Taylor was a little surprised, and she immediately asked Curtis Cnutson, "He also came to Michigan to liberalize the business of private prisons?"

"Yes," Curtis Knutson nodded, "In Mr. Tom Bailey's opinion, you are the head snake of Michigan, and he is going to open a private prison in Michigan, and he will definitely come to visit you first." ”

"Think beautiful!" Leilani Taylor sneered, "It took so much effort to get those guys in the state government and the state legislature to loosen their mouths, they didn't do anything, they just wanted to come in and get a piece of the pie...... They don't want to!"

It's one thing for Michigan to open up its prison business to the private sector, but whether the CCA will be able to come in and get a piece of the pie is another matter, and Laylani Taylor is convinced that neither the current governor Orrin Snyder nor her own boss will welcome a "hyena" who does nothing but takes advantage of it.

"Well, the CCA knows very well how difficult it is for us to open up a market space, so they are willing to pay the corresponding price for entering this market," Curtis Knutson explained to Leilani Taylor. ”

As one of the largest private prisons in the United States, it is not so easy for them to bow to people, and neither Leilani Taylor nor Curtis Cnutson knows that before Tom Bailey's trip, CCA shareholders actually had a heated argument over whether to come to Michigan to "worship the mountain".

Hardliners believe that our CCA is the largest private prison group company in the whole country, and we have the most experience in the operation of private prisons, and if Michigan does not open this opening, it will be fine, but if they open this opening, this market must have a share of our CCA - this statement is very self-confident, but there is a very market within CCA, and many people support this statement.

But there are also people who believe that it is no one else who opens the private prison market in Michigan, but Fernandez Chen, who not only has a huge influence in the business field, but also has a very good relationship with the White House, the Cabinet, the Pentagon and politicians in many states, if it is someone else, but since the private prison market in Michigan is opened by such a powerful task, in order to avoid being thought by the other party that he is "stealing" their results, it is best for the CCA to take the initiative to visit them first to show respect- According to executives and shareholders who hold this view, while Fernandez Chen may not be able to cause any trouble for his business in Michigan, he does have the ability to cause trouble for the CCA.

After a fierce quarrel, it was the second view that prevailed, and in the end, Tom Bailey's trip.

"That's ......"

CCA's "sensible" made Leilani Taylor's mood suddenly improve a lot, and she thought about it for a while, but considering that she was not even officially entering the industry, she decided to listen to Curtis Knutsson's opinion first. He then asked Curtis Cnutson, "Mr. Cnutson, what do you think about this?"

Curtis Knutson didn't stumble, and said directly: "Miss Taylor, I think so, if Michigan doesn't open this opening, it will be fine, but as long as this opening is opened, even if only we can engage in the operation of private prisons in Michigan in the early stage, but one day in the future, other companies will definitely come in, which is unavoidable."

So my thinking is, since this situation is unavoidable, we might as well find someone who can stand with us, not only to gag some people, but also to get them to rush to the front when necessary. ”

Laylani Taylor pondered for a moment, not only did she not admit that what Curtis Knutsson said was indeed reasonable, but under the premise that other private prisons would enter Michigan sooner or later, it was obviously a good idea to choose someone who was pleasing to the eye, smart and well-behaved, and willing to side with her.

However, Leilani Taylor is also a little skeptical, although the truth is that Curtis Knutson said such a truth, the question is, can the CCA listen to such a greeting?

"It's up to you," Curtis Knutson said calmly, "If you can convince Mr. Tom Bailey, the CCA will be honest." ”

Conversely, don't blame the CCA for not giving you face.

There is no need to say this, everyone understands it anyway.

Leilani Taylor nodded.

Curtis Knutson's heart moved: "Miss Taylor, I think there seems to be a possibility that Tom Bailey came to you. ”

"Oh?

"I just overlooked one point," Curtis Knutsson's expression was a little serious: "Even now, the private prison industry is still relatively small in the United States, and there are no big names with significant influence in this industry, so it cannot be ruled out that the CCA hopes that Fernandez will stand up and speak for the industry......"

"it!"

Before Curtis Knutson's words were finished, Laylani Taylor couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

yes, how did you forget this?

The private prison industry is too unpopular and niche, and there are less than 100 companies engaged in private prison business activities in the United States, and the largest is CCA.

But staring at the name of "industry giant", how big is the scale of CCA?

It scares you to death: 24,300 beds.

In other words, in theory, CCA, as a private prison giant in the United States, can help the federal government hold 24,300 inmates, and the prison that Chen Geng plans to build is designed to have 20,000 beds in the first phase......

So you say, after realizing Chen Geng's strong strength, is it possible for CCA to hope to push Chen Geng to the position of "industry leader", hoping that he can speak for the industry?
