After the school's affairs were planned, John asked Dani to call the mayor of New York, and the land purchase money had been calculated and was ready to be put into the account of the New York Treasury.

John returned to Long Island after returning from Europe, so it didn't take long for the mayor of New York to come to Morgan Manor.

"How is the bridge planned?"

Staunton has only one bridge across the sea to Brooklyn, and it is certainly not enough to develop it now, and more needs to be built.

"It has been planned to build a total of 10 bridges across the sea, two to Manhattan, two to Brooklyn, two to New Jersey, two to the port, all but to Brooklyn, all of which are double-layered, with six single-lane highways on top and high-speed trains and subway access below. The longest is the Manhattan with a total length of more than 4.6 kilometers, and the shortest is 1.6 kilometers from Brooklyn, which is a single-deck bridge, one running subway, and one running high-speed train. The total cost is $58 billion. ”

"Yes. ”

John nodded, he had already had a good idea of this price, the Verasano Bridge leading to Brooklyn is 1.3 kilometers long, and it is still a single-deck bridge, which cost 2.6 billion US dollars, so the price of these eight double-decker bridges and two single-deck bridges cannot be built without four or five billion yuan.

"If it's planned, let people design it and start construction. ”

Although the technology for sea-crossing bridges in the United States is mature, it will take at least four or five years for these bridges to be built, so John hopes to start construction sooner.

"It's the boss!"

The mayor of New York nodded, but his face was embarrassed, New York has made too many big moves recently, renovating subways, building underground roads, increasing urban greening, and the funds are flowing away like water every day, and now there are only more than a billion dollars in government accounts, and these money will be used until next year's taxes.

John saw the face of the mayor of New York and naturally knew the reason, smiled and called Dani over and ordered. "Let Morgan Bank put $114.1 billion of the money for the land purchase into the New York treasury account. ”

John bought half of Staunton's land, totaling 650 square kilometers.

Why buy so much land?

Because Staunton wants to develop, the government needs money, and these lands will not be sold for a while, so he, a big family, can only pay money to hoard these lands in his own hands and sell them slowly, so that the government can have money to develop.

"That's $1,141 enough to build the bridge and the city, and then I'm going to urge the Rockefeller Group and the other families to pay as soon as possible, and they're almost $16.2 billion, which is enough for you to build government offices and daily expenses. ”

The Rockefeller Group bought 50 square kilometers of land, and other members of the Morgan Group also bought about 50 square kilometers of land, and the two groups took almost 7.5 million square meters of land, and the remaining 5.5 million square kilometers of land except for 6 square kilometers of Century Park and some public land, the rest need to be sold slowly by the city government itself.

And John's 6.5 million square meters of land is not used up by himself, he uses up to 100 square kilometers of land, port, crown park, rainbow town, financial center, terraced low-rent housing, entrepreneurship center, these places are large land users, basically 50 square kilometers of land will be used, and the rest of the land is basically shopping malls, World Trade Park, and IBM...... and other headquarters and factories of several companies.

As for the rest of the land to be sold slowly, it is a good location anyway, and he does not have to worry about selling, even if he can't sell it, he can still buy a real estate company, and then develop real estate! Ten or twenty years will always be sold slowly, so that he can still make a profit.

After receiving the money, the mayor of New York left Morgan Manor with a sunny smile on his face, ready to go back to find someone to design the bridge and the city government office building.

John was about to take a nap, as he was exhausted from Staunton's development work.

However, just as John was about to go to the bedroom, Dani suddenly walked into the study and came to him. "Boss, Miss Weilan is here!"

"What is this goblin doing!"

John's brows furrowed slightly, and every time he saw Weilan Stillman, he suffered.

"The goblin is here to send you money!"

Before Dani could reply, a crisp voice came from the door, and Weilan Stillman, dressed in casual clothes, walked in.

"Uh!" John was a little embarrassed when he was caught red-handed for speaking ill of people behind his back.

"Heng!" Weilan Stillman snorted, ready to teach John a lesson, but was about to open his mouth when he was caught by the huge sand table in the study.

"Is this Staunton's sandbox?"

Weilan Stillman walked up to the sand table and looked at it, she had never been to Staunton, but once passed by on a yacht and had a distant look.

"Yes. ”

John was relieved to see that Weilan Stillman didn't bother himself.

"What is this place?" Willan Stillman was attracted by the strange shape of the Candle in the Wind Mansion on the sand table.

"These five buildings are called the Candle in the Wind Building, and the next one is called the Spiral Tower, which is a high-end office building in the financial center. The headquarters of the Morgan Bank was later located in the Spiral Tower. ”

"Oh!" asked Weilan Stillman as he nodded, pointing to Building Three, the tallest in the middle of the candle flame in the wind. "Is this building rented out?"

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Then rent it to me!"

"What are you renting it for?"

"To be the headquarters of Citibank. ”

"Don't you have a Citi Tower in Manhattan?"

"This is the heart of New York in the future, how can Citibank not have a foothold here! As for the Manhattan building, it will be used for some ordinary business in the future. ”

The moment Willan Stillman saw the candle in the wind, he had already decided to move Citibank's headquarters here.

Weilan Stillman knows that Stinton will become the center of New York City and the entire New York Bay Area in the future, integrating finance, industry, manufacturing, scientific research, trade, and tourism, and its development potential is not known how many times greater than that of Manhattan, and Citibank must move to Staunton in order to enjoy the development dividend, so the Steyeman family bought more than 20 square kilometers of land in Staunton in order to build Citibank headquarters buildings and some high-end office buildings, shopping centers, and high-end apartments.

The Candlelight Building in the Wind is in a good location, facing Manhattan and Brooklyn from afar, and you can see the Statue of Liberty by the window.

With such a good location and such a peculiar group of office buildings, the Candle in the Wind Building will definitely become a new landmark in the whole of New York, especially the tallest building in the middle, which must be in the limelight, and moving Citibank here will not only reflect the strength of Citigroup, but also spread the name of this building to the world.
