Chapter 556 Press Conference
In order to let the immigrants have a house to live in, Ariana placed orders for more than 60 container manufacturing factories and 347 decoration companies, and at the same time asked people to sort out the land, build the infrastructure, and wait until the container house comes to install it directly in the specified location!
Nearly 400 container houses are continuously sent to Staunton by sea every day, and 347 decoration companies can decorate these 400 container houses within a few days, mainly because the paint can't catch up with time, otherwise they can decorate it in a day.
And as the days passed, one building after another appeared, the fence was erected, the road was repaired, the street lights were installed, and the garbage cans were ...... , the outline of the pink pig town is becoming clear little by little!
............
At the same time, while thousands of workers were sweating under the scorching sun on the construction site of Pink Pig Town, the mayor's assistant knocked on the door of Cuomo's office and walked in the Manhattan city government building.
"Mayor, it's almost time for the press conference. ”
"Okay, give me two minutes. ”
Cuomo is making a list of Staten District government administrators.
As a special zone, Staunton must have a district government and various district departments, the municipal government is only in charge of the general direction, and the daily management work must be the business of the district government departments.
"Alright, let's go!"
Cuomo checked the list, got up, grabbed his blazer, and walked out of the office with his assistant.
No one bought Staunton's land, and a few pieces were sold in almost two months, and the real estate developers were all waiting and watching, and no one started, so Cuomo decided to take a strong dose to make these real estate developers move.
"Today's press conference is mainly to announce the development of Staten District during this period!"
Cuomo finished speaking, glanced at the manuscript on the table, and continued.
"This month the University Town of Staten District is in line with the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom...... Harvard University ...... A total of 38 world-class universities have signed settlement agreements, and have ...... with Eton College and Harrow School. and 14 other primary and secondary schools have signed an agreement to settle in Education City, and these first-class schools will bring high-quality teaching and cultivate a large number of high-quality talents to Staten District and New York City.
At the same time, the Staten Special Zone has reached R&D projects with the governments of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Russia and universities in 57 scientific and technological fields such as aerospace, biomedicine, and network communications. ”
Carl Innch's words caused the surprise of the reporters present, I didn't expect that Staunton had done so many things during this time, so many first-class universities and primary and secondary schools were concentrated in Staunton, which would attract countless rich people to settle down, and mothers and fathers all over the world were the same, and they were heartbroken for their children to go to a good school.
Moreover, Staunten has also signed scientific research and development agreements with several countries and universities, which is clearly to vigorously develop light and heavy industry, computer technology, and biomedical ...... and other fields, these are New York's shortcomings, so although New York is a financial center, its economy has played a different role than Texas and California.
Now that Staunton has the world's top science universities, it won't take long to make up for this shortcoming.
"Please be quiet! You talk about it like this, the press conference can't go on!"
The assistant saw that the entire press conference hall was talking, and hurriedly spoke out to silence everyone.
"In addition, the city government will temporarily close the land transaction in Staten, because during this time, half of the land in Staten has been sold, receiving $131.1 billion in land sales, and the remaining half is in addition to government and public land, as well as some corporate land, and there is not much commercial land, so even if the land is sold in the future, it will not be sold on a large scale, and in order to avoid excessive development, it will be sold in a limited amount every year. ”
"What, half of Staten's land has been sold!"
"This ...... It's incredible!"
Carl Inch's words fell like a depth charge in the crowd, so that the crowd that had just quieted down suddenly exploded, and the reporters did not care about discipline, and they discussed one after another, Staunton's planned area is 1200 square kilometers, half of which is 600 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 12 Manhattans, and the New York City government sold 12 Manhattans in more than a month without a sound, doesn't it mean that real estate developers are waiting?
"Mayor!"
"Mayor!"
The reporters raised their hands to ask questions, and the incident was so exciting that they forgot that it was not time to ask questions.
The mayor's assistant on the side was just about to make a statement to remind these reporters, but Cuomo stopped him, but he said something similar anyway, so he let the reporters ask questions.
"You!"
Cuomo gestured to an NBC reporter that she could ask questions.
"Mayor, who are the real estate developers who have bought the land in the Staten District, who are the biggest buyers, and how much land have they bought?"
"The biggest buyer was Monday Real Estate Group, who bought almost half of the land, and the other was bought by some companies for factory land. ”
"Mayor, we have never heard of a real estate group on Monday, and the real estate group in China has such a great strength that it can take half of the land at once. ”
These reporters find it hard to believe that a real estate group company can come up with hundreds of billions of dollars at once, if this is true, then how powerful is this real estate group?
"This real estate group is a new company opened by JPMorgan Bank and Black Rock Group, so you have not heard of it, JPMorgan Bank and Black Rock Group are very confident in the future of Staunton, so they jointly established Monday Real Estate Group and subscribed for half of the land. ”
"Oh!"
After hearing this, all the reporters nodded their heads, and at the same time secretly despised Cuomo, what kind of purchase is this! This is simply a mortgage of half of the land to the bank for the development of Staten, but it is only nominally better.
"Of course, the real estate group will also develop part of this land, including the university town and the education city land they have taken out, in addition to the construction of low-rent housing for low-income people, as well as the construction of low-rent housing for college students, the construction of entrepreneurial bases, and the construction of several public buildings for the special zone, including museums, art galleries, music centers, gymnasiums, libraries and .......
Yesterday, the development sand table of Staten was made, and now in the conference hall on the third floor, I will take you to see what the future Stateton District will look like. ”
Dozens of reporters didn't ask questions when they heard Cuomo's words, and quickly packed up their belongings one by one and followed Cuomo towards the large conference room on the third floor.
As soon as dozens of reporters entered the door, they saw a huge sand table, estimated to be about 500 square meters, placed in the middle of the conference room, which was very conspicuous.
This sand table was specially made by Cuomo and was ready to be displayed in Central Park for publicity.
After dozens of reporters entered the conference room, they surrounded the sand table, although there were not many buildings on the sand table, but each one brought them an ideological and visual impact.
"Mayor, what are these buildings?"
Journalists were quickly attracted by the 1.5-meter-tall model of the Candle in the Wind Building.
The peculiar shape makes it difficult not to pay attention.
"This group of buildings is called Candle in the Wind, and the one next to it is a spiral tower, which is the future financial center of Staten D.C., and all of these buildings have been rented out! The one with the highest candle flame in the wind has been rented by Citibank, and the other four buildings have also been rented out by more than a dozen well-known international financial companies such as Blackstone, Blackrock, Fidelity, Morgan Stanley, and KKR, and there are four exchanges here, and the Nasdaq Exchange is here in Building 1. Next to the spiral tower is the headquarters of the Morgan Bank. ”
When the reporters heard Cuomo's words, they raised their cameras to take pictures of these buildings, so many financial companies have settled in Staunton, this is to compete with Manhattan in finance!
