GM factories went on strike across the board, more than 200,000 people took to the streets, production stopped, and caused GM a loss of $80 million a day, and the UAW was not much better, the workers went on strike without work, and they had to pay workers $20 a day in living allowances, more than 200,000 people were more than $4 million a day, and a month was $120 million.

So this strike is a lose-lose battle.

But John Smith doesn't care, the workers' contracts will expire in two months at most, and then it will be good to fire all the workers if they don't quit the UAW, 80 million a day and 4.8 billion US dollars in two months, after moving the factory to Alaska, these money can be saved in a year, so he is now busy transporting the equipment of six factories to Alaska, and then sending a few technicians to teach technology and resume production as soon as possible.

............

Just when Detroit was in a mess, New York City Hall was in a mess.

The mayor organized various departments to convene a meeting on the development of the Staten District.

The head of the planning department made a statement first.

"According to our field investigation, combined with the requirements of the small boss, the existing area of Staten is too small, and the port, airport, central garden, and university town alone occupy a large area, so the area must be increased, according to our calculations, at least 800 square kilometers of area need to be added, of which a 200 square kilometers of sub-island will be built from the island, and the port and airport will be built here. ”

"What, you're going to fill in 1,000 square kilometers of land! Are you crazy? Do you know how much damage this will do to the environment and to marine life!" said Ivan Borado, an environmentalist, who couldn't bear to hear the planning department's speech, and slapped the table.

"If I don't reclaim land, how can I put tourism and leisure centers, ports, airports, companies, millions of residents, tens of millions of tourists?" said Ivan Bolado, a man in the planning department and an environmentalist.

"You don't want to develop Stinterton, I don't understand that the United States is so big that it can't be developed anywhere, why should it be in Staunton? Queens can't do it? Brooklyn can't do it? So I think the people above are just full and have nothing to do!" Ivan Borado hates people destroying the environment the most, and reclaiming 1,000 square kilometers of roads is simply unacceptable to him.

"Dr. Borado, we have asked you to use your expertise to minimize the impact on the environment, and not to veto the project, which will benefit the economy, jobs, trade, and ...... It is a national key development project, and it is not something that can be stopped by an individual, you just need to tell me, can you minimize the impact on the environment, if not, we will find someone else. ”

The mayor of New York was upset that Iván Bolado was embarrassed to veto his boss in front of so many people.

"Hmph!" Ivan Bolado snorted coldly, it was impossible to leave, if he didn't keep an eye on such a large reclamation project, he wouldn't be at ease if someone else came.

"It can be used through artificial beaches, artificial coasts, artificial marine plants...... and so on, but they would require significant financial resources. ”

"Funding is not an issue. ”

The mayor of New York promised.

New York can still do it with billions of dollars.

"And since Staunton is going to be developed, all the garbage that used to be landfilled must be transferred, otherwise it will be bad for the people who live here, and millions of residents and tens of millions of tourists, as well as a large number of factories, will produce a lot of garbage and wastewater every year, so it is necessary to establish a complete waste treatment plan. ”

"Have you done this plan here?"

"Of course!

First of all, since Stanton wants to build itself into a garden city and a tourist city, the government must eliminate all high-polluting and high-emission enterprises when introducing industries.

In addition, the city implements strict garbage classification and establishes a complete garbage disposal system.

Kitchen waste and household waste can be used to generate electricity, and sewage can be used to irrigate green plants after treatment.

After this series of treatments, the volume of unusable waste and the volume of treated waste will be greatly reduced, which can increase the life of landfills and reduce the government's investment in waste treatment. In addition, the electricity generated will be used for urban public electricity, and the government will also reduce a large amount of capital investment in this area. ”

"Good!"

"The other thing is to find a landfill again, Staunton used to be a landfill for the whole of New York, and now it is impossible to landfill it, and some of the waste here needs to be pulled out to landfill. ”

"Okay, give me a copy of your plan, and you can start construction after the boss approves it. "The mayor of New York is happy with Iván Borado's work, and of course he would have liked it more if this guy had been less merciful.

After the environmental side was discussed, the planning department continued to report on the planning work.

"Reclamation could create 200 square kilometers a year, and it would take five years to build the land it needed, but until then, Staunton would have to develop a financial center, a city park, a residential area, a government and university town, and part of the transportation network. The remaining port and industrial cluster areas, leisure tourism areas will take a few years to develop. ”

"Okay, put the plan together, I'll take it to the boss for approval. ”

The plan requires John's approval before it can be implemented.

But because of the release of "Saving Private Ryan", John stayed in Hollywood during this time, so the mayor of New York also became a trapeze artist during this time, there is no way for old Morgan to ignore this, otherwise it is much more convenient, and the mayor of New York is also willing to contact John, John is much easier to talk than old Morgan, and he is not as strict as old Morgan.

"Boss! This is Staunton's plan, look at it!"

In the study, the mayor of New York handed John the plan that had been put together.

John took it and looked at it carefully, and the whole plan was very carefully planned from transportation to architecture, where is the financial center, what is the cultural industry center, and what is the industrial zone, all are planned.

"1,000 square kilometers of land need to be reclaimed, what impact does this have on the environment?"

"We brought in an environmentalist who would use methods such as man-made beaches to minimize the impact. ”

"If the land is reclaimed, only the financial center, parks, residential areas, government offices and university towns can be started, and the rest of the places will have to wait until the reclamation is completed, how long will it take?"

"Five years is enough. ”

"This city park has to be built to create a spiritual place for the people of Staten. ”

"BOSS is assured that we will solicit proposals from all over the world and adopt the best solutions to build. ”

"Garbage needs to be rediscovered?"

"Yes, it's up to you to decide. ”

There are many projects that the government needs to undertake, including underground and surface roads, sea-crossing bridges, office buildings of various government departments, city parks, garbage and sewage treatment plants, and ...... With a total investment of more than $50 billion, is there any financial pressure? If so, I will let the bank lend you a loan!"

The construction of the transportation network on the island alone requires a lot of money, and there are six cross-sea bridges that also burn money, and the government office is a gold-swallowing monster, and hundreds of large and small police stations are needed, and the construction of a police station plus supporting facilities needs at least more than 1 million, and a hundred need more than 100 million, which is only a police station, and there are more government departments.

"No, thank you boss, once it is developed, we have a lot of land to sell, and the federal government has supported 10 billion US dollars, which is enough for development!"

Staten's land is not expensive, but it is a lot, and the money is fully sufficient for development, and the federal government has provided 10 billion in funds.
