The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

The renovation plan of the East District was in full swing, but soon, the first resistance came. Four gangsters on Elizabeth Street jointly protested, demanding an explanation from the Twelve Family. things, but did not tell them, and even killed several of them.

The heads of the Twelve had a meeting and decided to call Bruce Wayne over for a talk, though they didn't expect the playboy to explain anything to them.

So far, the Twelve Family still feels that Bruce Wayne just had a brain twitch and suddenly wanted to save Gotham, so he became very excited and started some renovation project. Maybe he lost interest after playing for a while.

Bruce didn't intend to pretend anymore, so he led his staff team to the meeting.

Next, I would like to introduce to you, John, the main planner of this reconstruction plan, John, please tell these gentlemen what I am going to do and the benefits that can be brought...

As soon as John walked up, one of the leaders of the twelve families said: Mr. Wayne, we understand you, your kindness, and your desire to improve the living environment there, but you also have to give us some face... ...

The four bosses on Elizabeth Street have been quarreling with me for three days. They almost brought the coffin of the dead to my door. What do you want me to do?

Bruce cleared his throat and said, Elizabeth Street is 6 kilometers away from the place I want to renovate. How could it be their territory?

The Blue Jackets told me they killed the boss there, they took the territory back, they became the new boss there.

When my project was just put into production?

Hearing the sarcasm in Bruce's tone, the gangster had a sullen face and did not speak again. Soon, John began to introduce the entire construction project.

When the construction part was mentioned at the beginning, everyone's expression did not change, but soon, they began to talk about the overpass bridge supporting the construction.

In the conception of a three-dimensional city, the overpass is the most important thing. The three-dimensional transportation will bring a lot of convenience. As long as the technology is in place, there is the possibility of unlimited extension.

What are the gangsters most afraid of now? They are not afraid of change, what they are afraid of is that they will not be able to make money after the change.

Even if they don't rely on the logistics industry to make money, more overpasses can alleviate the problem of traffic congestion and free up more time for them to take care of their own business. Whether it is in terms of interests or emotions, they all hope that Someone can fix the road.

The problem is that the vast majority of people are unwilling to spend their own money to build roads, because once too much money is invested in the construction of public facilities, their families will become weak and then be eaten by others.

Last time, the upgrade of Gotham's transportation system and the construction of the living hell were led by the godfather, and the twelve families invested equally. As long as everyone's average is weakened, there is no need to worry that the other party will take advantage of others.

But this time, the Wayne family actually said that they don't need to pay, they just need to cooperate with the construction. The price they pay is only a little manpower, but what they get is an extremely convenient interchange system covering the entire city.

It's not that there are no overpasses in Gotham, but the construction time is relatively long, and it was built when Bruce's parents were there. Many overpasses are neglected and unusable, occupying places out of thin air.

There are also some bridges that are usable but very uncomfortable to use. When they are built, they are often for temporary needs, and the planning is not good, resulting in awkward positions for the upper and lower bridges. At that time, after getting off the bridge, you have to make another big bend to get to your destination, which is no longer suitable for the current Gotham City.

Everyone is unwilling to pay. They can only make do with it, but now that Wayne is willing to pay, they have no reason to refuse.

I must emphasize that the reconstruction of the building is to cooperate with the reconstruction of the overpass. Even the technology of the Wayne Group cannot guarantee that the overpass with a height of more than 100 meters can stand out of thin air. It must rely on the building.

If the overpass can be suspended out of thin air, why should I change the building? Is there nowhere to spend the money?

Bruce found that Schiller's way of speaking, which hates everyone equally, is really very useful. The mental patient can say whatever he wants, without caring about anyone's face.

I gave those people houses not out of kindness, but because if I renovate the building, there must be residents in the building. Only with residents can there be consumption, and with consumption, there will be commerce, and there will be Only by doing business can we make money...

Bruce Wayne crossed his arms and said: It is completely short-sighted to regard that group of people as redundant. Only the bottom people keep working can we create a steady stream of income for us. If they are all gone, you plan to To work? To drive a truck? To be a porter?

I have to admit that those poor ghosts you look down on are the cornerstone of the city. In order to make them work better, you have to provide them with a house. If you drive them away, no one will Don't overthink it.

The leaders of the twelve families, you look at me, I look at you, one of them cleared his throat and said: Since this is the case, then you should also say hello to us in advance, so that the people below will not cause trouble...

I'm not worried about them making trouble, because I have installed defenses on every floor, and the gang members you mentioned were probably hit by it. Bruce knocked on the table and said: Wayne Group's All property is my personal private property, and private property is sacred and inviolable, if anyone wants to enter my construction site to steal something or cause damage, I have the right to defend myself.”

Bruce paused, as if he felt that he hadn't learned the essence of Schiller, and one of the gang leaders said: You can't do this, you have to follow the rules here, if you want to fight with that gang. You have to...

Okay, okay, I'm going to fight this gangster, and then I'm going to fight that gangster, then you just wait, in ten years, I will spend nine years catching thieves, and then I will spend half a year fighting The gangsters fought, and it took half a year to deal with the bridge, and it collapsed less than half a year after it was put into use. When the time comes, you can repair it yourself.

The other gangsters were also a little speechless by his rogue attitude, but although Bruce was very aggressive, what he said made sense.

No one knows the virtues of their subordinates better than these gang leaders. Let alone the construction site of the Wayne family, even if the dung truck passes by the door, they have to dip their hands to taste the saltiness.

If those gangsters use various names to harass the Wayne family to start construction, then they must provide someone to protect them, otherwise, the bridge will not be built. We still have to block together.

But if you want to provide protection for others, you will inevitably offend the people below, making them feel that you are unfair to outsiders.

But now, the Wayne family is very sensible to be the villain themselves, so in fact, the Twelve Family only needs to pretend that they don't know anything.

The Wayne family cooperated with the government in a legal form, spent a large sum of money to buy land, and invested countless manpower in building bridges. In the end, it was the gangsters, especially the Twelve Family, because they had the most industries and the highest transportation requirements.

That being the case, why not let him build it? Isn't it an overpass? It's not a nuclear bomb weapon, he can't threaten the gang with a bridge, can he?

After Bruce deliberately blurred the focus, all the gang leaders turned their attention to the overpass plan.

But it's not surprising. The three-dimensional transportation system designed by Wayne is indeed novel and very attractive. Compared with it, the architectural transformation similar to the living hell has no bright spots.

The big deal is to create a few more living hells. The leaders of the Twelve Families all think so, and the living hells have not turned up any troubles, but the rent has increased a bit, and because the law and order there is relatively good, there are fewer troubles. There is a lot of money collected, and a few more areas like this are nothing.

In this way, the meeting of the guests and the host is over. The head of the twelve families said that I will take care of the thorns on Elizabeth Street. You can build your bridge, build it quickly, and put it into use as soon as possible. Hello, everyone. good.

Bruce found that the anesthetic injected had taken effect, so he quickly accelerated the construction speed. Before the first phase was completed, the second phase was ready to lay the foundation, and the construction materials for the overpass between the first phase and the second phase were also put into production.

In fact, the technologies involved in architectural transformation are left over from the Batcave.

These technologies were not created by him within a day or two. When the Batcave was built, many problems have been solved, and the chip authentication system is actually what Batman intends to use to provide defense for the Batcave in the future. .

If he was the only one, no certification would be needed, but since he has adopted Dick and Aisha, these two little assistants will inevitably have to go in and out of the Batcave in the future, and setting up an authentication system will also facilitate their access.

This certification system can not only be used to implement the resettlement plan, prevent some people from excessively occupying housing resources, but also provide a foundation for the subsequent authority system, so Bruce modified it and integrated it into the building.

Everything was going well, Gotham started to build a lot, but soon, Bruce encountered another problem.

He found that he had no money.

This is a very scary fact, but it is actually reasonable. Although the Wayne Group is large, most of the funds are in circulation during production, and there is not much liquidity.

At this time, not one or two construction sites are starting construction. The first phase and the second phase plus the overpass project are added together, and there are more than 130 construction sites starting at the same time. Even the largest real estate developer in the United States rarely starts construction on so many properties at the same time. when.

Wayne Group has a professional engineering team, but they are not professional real estate developers after all. Even if many raw materials are obtained through replacement, technology does not require additional costs, but the labor and consumables alone have already emptied Bruce. Almost all liquidity.

This is a very dangerous signal. Bruce knows that once a company loses too much liquidity, it means that its ability to resist risks will decline, and it will lose more trial and error costs. The business strategy can only turn conservative. It will inevitably shrink, forming a vicious circle.

And Bruce found out that he was working on the project now. It accounts for less than one percent of Gotham's entire city renovation project.

He knew that he had to find a way to make money now.

Then he discovered that, as Schiller said, living in the upper class is no easier than living in the slums. With the size of the Wayne Group, it is as difficult to go further.

Make money, make money, make money...

Bruce never thought that he would have a day when he would have a headache for money.

Perhaps, this is tit for tat, not not reporting, the time has not yet come.
