Chapter 0737: West Midtown Progress
The banquet lasted until 3 a.m., and all the guests were arranged in the main fort and the annex, where there were enough rooms for the guests.
But Li Zitao did not go to the room to rest, but took Jonathan and Tronie to the private conversation room.
"Do you want something to drink?" asked after sitting down, Li Zitao looked at the two of them.
"No, let's get down to business. Jonathan shook his head, he was already getting drunk.
"Three cups of hot tea. He said to the maid at the door, and the door was gently shut.
"Charlie, we've taken 82 percent of Hell's Kitchen, and those unclear apartments are too much trouble. Tronie said with a little headache.
If it weren't for the apartments where they couldn't find their owners, Hell's Kitchen would have been in their hands by now.
"A little more patience will pay off, and it's not you who should be angry. Li Zitao smiled lightly and lit a cigar.
"That's right, Tronie, you should learn the Tao. Jonathan said as if he had bitten his tongue.
"It's Zen Taoism, you should find a good teacher. "I don't know when it started, Jonathan fell in love with Zen and meditated when he had nothing to do.
Whether he felt that strange situation, Li Zitao doesn't know, but his spirit is really good.
"Don't worry about anything... Damn, I'm craving another drink. Tronie rubbed his head, these two had a lot of money, he wasn't like that.
He had taken on a lot of bank loans for this old city redevelopment project, and now every morning when he opens his eyes, he needs to calculate how much interest has risen.
"It might be useful to ask SSA and USCIS to help find the last person to register. Saying that, the maid brought the tea in, and Li Zitao put down the cigar and sipped the hot black tea.
"It's a nice note. Jonathan nodded.
The SSA, or Social Security Card, was part of Roosevelt's New Deal, which was originally intended to track tax payments and investigate tax evasion.
Since its execution in November last year, 25 million sets have been issued so far.
SSA folks run the streets of New York, and most people in New York City have their own SSN (Social Security Code).
These cards contain detailed information about where they have lived, where they live, where they live, and all the important information, and they must have a lot of information.
USCIS, that's USCIS.
Ninety percent of the people who live in Hell's Kitchen are immigrants from other countries, and they may be able to find a breakthrough from them.
"How are you thinking about road construction?" Li Zitao was the first to propose road construction, and Jonathan and Troney both said they needed to consider it.
"Charlie, we may be able to wait until the building is finished before we build the road. Jonathan said hesitantly.
His financial pressure is not small at all, and the cooperation between Waldorf Astoria and Hilton has taken up a lot of his liquid cash.
The price of land on Manhattan Island is now $680,000 per acre, but thankfully it's Hell's Kitchen, which only costs $220,000 per acre.
Even so, it took up nearly 50 million US dollars in his cash, and the subsequent investment and transformation was still a bottomless pit.
Soon he will have to learn from Tronnie, get the land in his hand and go to the bank for a loan, and carry a large amount of interest to complete the plan.
If there is something wrong here, Jonathan may not be able to afford it, and if he doesn't succeed in pulling Li Zitao, he may not have the confidence to do it.
"So... I can fully pay the money for road repairs, and I will return it to me in proportion later, ok?" Li Zitao looked at the two.
In fact, there is not much money to build roads, and it is difficult for others to mobilize tens of millions of funds, but for him it is a matter of phone calls.
It just so happened that the profits of the companies this year were good, and he still had a lot of balance after the dividends, and then borrowed a few sums from Wells Fargo Bank to engage in debt, and the mad dog of the provincial IRS came to the door.
If there is still a problem with such conditions, then he really has to think carefully about whether he should invest money in the renovation now.
"Ok, I agree. Jonathan nodded.
"I agree. Tronie replied crisply.
The biggest project Li Zitao is working on, in addition to secretly supporting Spain and Ethiopia, is the Hell's Kitchen renovation project on Manhattan Island.
If this project is done well, in the future, it will be able to earn tens of billions of yuan a year just by collecting rent, and the foundation of the Li family will be solid.
Li Zitao did not plan to hand over this property to anyone, but planned to re-establish the foundation and hand it over to the foundation to take care of.
The annual charity investment of 5 percent is a drop in the bucket.
The fame of Dewey Union College is growing, and Li Zitao wants to tie the new foundation to it.
The Lee Higher Education Bursary Fund supports recent graduates at Dewey Union College to help them get into better colleges.
However, this plan will have to wait a little longer, at least until the construction of West Midtown officially begins.
In the dead of night, Li Zitao returned to the room with light steps, his wife was already asleep, took off his pajamas and went to bed, and fell asleep peacefully with his wife in his arms.
The next day, Li Zitao got up at dawn as usual.
After swimming twice in the suspended pool at the back of the castle, Li Zitao sat on the eaves at the front end and closed his eyes and meditated.
After half an hour, Li Zitao went to the fitness room, 'bang bang dong' for 40 minutes, and then went to the yard to play a set of punches, and then went to the restaurant to eat.
Aiden and Mason are fighting over food, and three-and-a-half-year-old is the age of being active and rebellious.
According to later investigations, there are three stages of rebellion in a child's life, the first is 3 years old, the second is about 7 years old, and the third is puberty.
The old man said: Three years old is old, seven years old is old, this is the truth.
Finding someone in, the two little ones hurriedly sat down, and when they found out that it was their father, they returned to the fight.
I'm afraid that the most dignified person at home is him, the father, because he has little time to accompany his children, and Li Zitao is always the most 'tolerant'.
Mary was strict enough with them, and someone had to sing red-faced.
"Do you two want to swim?" Li Zitao smiled and said "thank you," looking at the food placed in front of him, and asked about the arrangements of the two little ones.
"Yes. Aiden and Mason raised their hands excitedly.
But before the two of them were excited, a middle-aged man wearing a tuxedo and a meticulous face walked outside the door.
Bowing to Li Zitao, the person said softly with an expressionless face, "Aiden, Mason, you still have 3 minutes to breakfast." ”
The person who came was the etiquette teacher of the two little ones, and when they heard his words, the little ones looked at each other and looked at their father with a plea for help.
Li Zitao shrugged helplessly, watching the little guy speed up, and couldn't help but smile.
Rules must be cultivated from an early age, and when you indulge him with the idea that the child is still young, it is the first step towards ruining his future.
The concept of time and trustworthiness are the essential qualities of any successful person.
