After the news of Staten's development came out, Manhattan's housing prices fell in response, falling by as much as 10%, and many property speculators vomited blood.

John has no pity for these people, the house is used to live in, not to be speculated, the sky-high real estate in Manhattan is speculated by these people, and now it is a loss, and it is purely deserved.

At the same time as the housing price in Manhattan fell, the land in Staten has risen, and there is no market, the government does not sell the land, real estate developers turn their heads to buy the real estate of local residents, most of the residents living in Stateton are low-income households, can not afford to buy houses in other districts, so they choose to live in Staten, every day to work need to take a 1-hour ferry, not very convenient, now real estate developers are willing to buy their own houses at a high price, they can sell and then go to the area where the company is located to buy a house, so that commuting will be much more convenient.

Of course, there are also those that are not sold, those retired residents do not have to go to work, and the quiet and beautiful Staunton has a slow pace of life, which is very suitable for retirement.

When the Federal Department of Development Planning personnel went to Staten for research, John was not idle at home, writing and drawing in his study, and the East Coast, across the sea from Manhattan and Brooklyn, would be built into a financial center, which would represent the image of the entire Staten, so it was necessary to build a few landmarks.

A city landmark!

For a person who has come from the future, John should not have too many landmarks in his head! Are there still few landmarks built by local tyrants in Dubai? There are also "gherkins" and shards in London, and there are many more.

With so many landmarks in his head, John thought about it and chose one of the buildings to stand on the east bank to represent Staunton.

Candle Flame Mansion in the Wind!

This is a representative of crazy architectural art, the building is a total of four dancing buildings gathered together, look like flickering candles, very artistic, these four five or six hundred meters high towers stand on the east bank, will definitely become the landmark of Staunton, will be the most popular high-end office building in the financial district, the first choice of major banks, insurance companies. Morgan's Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Blackstone...... When the company arrives, it will move in.

As for the Morgan Bank, John had other arrangements, John planned to build a 688-meter-high spiral tower next to the Candle in the Wind Building as the headquarters of the Morgan Bank, and the unused place would be rented out at that time.

In addition, John will also build two high-end office buildings, a high-end apartment, The Shard, Kingdom Building, and Wing Building are very good, and they will all be famous in the future.

In addition to the largest Ferris wheel in the United States, John is also planning to build three eggs out of glass in the sea not far from the shore, half on the bottom of the sea and half on the sea, one of which will be built into a hotel, and the bottom part of the sea will be designed as a house, and the sea part will be designed as a restaurant and various leisure areas.

The other two eggs and one were built into a cultural and artistic center for cultural and artistic exchanges. One was built into a grand theater.

John also named the building: Eggs!

It just so happens that Los Angeles has "balls" that are very compatible!

As for the West Coast, there is no need to build landmarks, it will be built into the largest port in the Port of New York, and it will become a free trade zone, and every container is its landmark.

And on the side of the South Shore Technology Internet area, John will also build a landmark here, Apple's headquarters John likes it very much, and is ready to move here in advance and take it to IBM as a headquarters, he has thought of a name, called "Saucer"!

Of course, Staunton is so big that just a few landmarks are definitely not enough, train stations, passenger terminals, subway stations, sea bridges, libraries, museums, public hospitals, shopping buildings, esplanades, ...... These public buildings must be designed by renowned architects, so that each building can become a work of art.

Bus stops and public toilets will certainly not have the luxury of being designed by famous architects, but when the time comes, all architecture students around the world will be asked to design proposals, and those who pass the design will receive a scholarship. At the lowest cost, the bus stops and public toilets in Staunton are full.

And the reason why John is so interested in Staten's architecture is because it is opposite Manhattan, Manhattan has been famous for a long time, famous all over the world, and if he wants to compete for Manhattan to become the new center of New York, Stateton must not only be prosperous, but also have its own advantages.

Green, livable, beautiful, prosperous, and full of art are the advantages that Staunton wants to shape, and architecture can best reflect the prosperity, beauty, and artistic atmosphere of a city.

Once Stendon has these advantages, it will attract many talents to invest here, settle down, and will also attract tens of millions of tourists to travel, just tens of millions of tourists can bring economic benefits to Staunton prosperous, but also improve the economic growth of the entire New York, so John naturally has to pay attention to the island's architecture, no matter how to say that Staunton is also he advocates development, if it fails, it will definitely not look good, if it succeeds, it will be a strong stroke in his administration. In other words, this is John's face, the show room.

…………

Then, while John was concentrating on drawing in his study, five heavy trucks came to Morgan Manor, and after the cars were stopped, several staff members unloaded the cars loaded in the containers.

John had the car produced by General Motors finally built, and these people came to Morgan Manor to deliver the car.

"How many are there?"

Dani glanced at the unloaded car and turned to look at John Smith, president of General Motors.

"A total of 48 vehicles, 12 in Long Island, New York, 12 in Changzhou, 12 in Los Angeles, and 12 on transport planes. Is it enough?" John Smith asked.

"Well, that's enough, let's produce these for the time being! If it's not enough, I'll ask you to produce it, I'll go and ask the boss!"

The special service to protect John is a total of 40 people, four teams, so John's permanent place must be equipped with a convoy, even if he goes abroad, he must take his own car, in order to let outsiders not know which car John will be in, the vehicles in the convoy must be exactly the same.

After the 12 cars were parked in the square, they successfully attracted a group of onlookers, and the sharp body looked like 12 beasts lying on the ground, giving people a feeling that no one should approach.

"This car looks so fierce!" a woman with glasses looked at the dozen cars in front of her.

A short-haired woman standing next to her said proudly. "This kind of car is domineering when it is driven! I just don't know if there is a civilian version, otherwise save money to buy one and drive it!"

I just heard President Smith say that the cost of this car is $1.03 million, and that's just the cost, not the selling price!" said the woman with glasses.

"Hey... Of course, this is specially customized, of course, it is expensive, and the civilian one is not so expensive. The short-haired woman sighed speechlessly.

John Smith, who was on the side, laughed when he heard the conversation between the two women, and explained it. "These cars are made of top materials, purely handmade, it took us more than two years to build these dozens of cars, so the price will be more expensive, the civilian version of the material is not so good, and only part of the process is manual, the price is much cheaper, four to five hundred thousand dollars can buy one, it will be on the market next month, if you want to buy I will give you a discount!"

"Wow, half a million dollars is expensive, and Rolls-Royce can't sell it for that price." The bespectacled girl looked at John Smith like a profiteer.

"Is Rolls-Royce so good-looking? And although the civilian materials are not as good as these custom cars, they are also top materials in the market, and some of the processes also need to be made by hand. John Smith replied. "If you think it's expensive, you can buy another car called the Explorer, which is very avant-garde and suitable for young people to drive, and the price is much cheaper, only 12 to 200,000 dollars can be obtained. ”

The Navigator will be built by GM into Cadillac's top luxury car, and the Explorer will be positioned as a mid-to-high-end car.

"No, if you want to open the pilot, it's not just four or five hundred thousand!" said the short-haired woman proudly.

She is an employee of Morgan Manor, specializing in information network security, one of the members of the think tank, and is well paid, and it is only 2 years' salary to buy a civilian navigator.
