"What, you want to move the government out of Manhattan and to Staten Island!"

"Not only the government, but I also want to move the Morgan family's Manhattan company to Staten Island. ”

"Give me a reasonable reason. ”

Old Morgan looked at John solemnly.

John went to the old Morgan's study early in the morning and told him about his plan to relocate the government department.

Over the past month, John has been in daily assessment meetings with a group of planning experts, which has given him a lot of insight into the current situation and future of New York, so he has a plan for the migration.

"Father, Manhattan is the smallest and most populous of the five districts, and after more than 100 years of development, the whole area has become saturated, and the small area can no longer provide its development potential, so we must take the lead in developing other areas and create a new "Manhattan".

Staten Island is the third largest island in the five districts, slightly smaller than Brooklyn, and Manhattan Island, Brooklyn is far away, because of inconvenient transportation, so it has not been developed, the island has only more than 200,000 people, most of the area is still a wasteland, very suitable for development, only need to build a few sea-crossing bridges to connect to the outside world. It is much larger than Manhattan, and half of it is seaside, so even if the area is not enough in the future, we can reclaim land from the sea, and we will not be restricted by land like Manhattan.

Its west coast is a deep-water area, which can be built into a deep-water port, and a sea-crossing bridge between New Jersey will be built to connect Seattle and San Francisco's rail network, and then goods will continue to be transported from here to the world, and the world's goods can also enter the United States from here, and it will become one of the ports of New York, the largest grain export port in the United States.

In addition, the east coast opposite Brooklyn and Manhattan will be planned to become a financial district, and the Morgan Bank, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone and insurance industries will be relocated here, and the NASDAQ will also be relocated, forming two financial centers in the east and west with Manhattan.

As for the North Shore area and Todd Hill, I want to build the largest theme park in New York, three five-star hotels, seven shopping centers, two art centers, a grand theater, a museum, a stadium, and build a coastal promenade and four green shopping avenues along the pier to provide a leisure place for tens of millions of New Yorkers, and make the North Shore a paradise for tourism, leisure and shopping.

As for the construction of the Todd Hill mansion area, Todd Hill is the highest place in the whole of New York, with a beautiful environment, surrounded by mountains and the sea, standing here can overlook the entire Manhattan, Staten and the Atlantic Ocean, I want to build it into the most luxurious residential area in the United States, ask the world's most famous builder to do it, build more than a dozen top villas here, and I myself am also going to build a Chinese-style garden manor on the top of the hill, and I can spend a vacation there when the time comes. ”

Morgan Sr. rolled his eyes when he heard this, is this going to develop Staten Island or to make money? Once Staten Island is really developed, Staten Island, with a population of more than 200,000, will increase by several million, and once the highway is opened and the high-speed rail is connected, John's North Shore area and Todd Hill will become the leisure backyard of the whole New York, and those mansions, amusement parks, hotels, shopping centers, shopping boulevards, art galleries, and theaters will definitely make money every day

And the entire North Shore area and Todd Hill is equivalent to 1/5 of the size of Manhattan, if Staunton becomes the new center of New York, just repair some office buildings, the annual rent of high-end apartments can count to your fingers, and more importantly, the North Shore is on the seafront, John can reclaim land at any time, and he can increase the area of Manhattan in two years.

"As for the South Bank, the headquarters of IBM, Qualcomm, and Lucent will be relocated here, and I will also open several Internet companies here, and I will also build a talent center here to provide low-rent office buildings for individual entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises, so as to make the South Bank area a technology and Internet economic zone.

As for the central part will be the government department station, and residential areas.

All the oil refineries on the island will be moved out, and the landfill on the island will be closed, and the landfill will be built into an urban forest park, which will be larger than Manhattan's Central Park, and I have a name in mind, it is called: Century Park!

In 30 years' time, Staunton will definitely be a jewel in New York. ”

John is confident that Staunton's development will be full of potential as long as the transportation network is improved, and it would be a pity to leave such a treasure lot on the side and grow grass, compared to Manhattan, this is the future.

"Father, what do you think?"

John looked at old Morgan expectantly.

"Let the development planners do the research, and if it is feasible, let them come up with a plan!" Morgan Sr. did not refuse, because Manhattan is indeed about to be saturated, and it will be about the same for another thirty or forty years at most, and he originally planned to move to Queens at that time, which is more convenient, but John wants to develop Stanton now, so it is better to develop Stanton, at most it is only to invest more than 10 billion dollars to build a few bridges across the sea, and the Stanton side is sparsely populated, and the development will encounter a lot less conflicts of interest.

"Good father. ”

After seeing that the elder Morgan agreed, John left the study with a smile on his face, called the head of the Federal Development Planning Department, and gave him the task of going to Staten to investigate.

After the task was issued, John personally called the mayor of New York and ordered him to temporarily stop the sale of government land in the Staten area, 90% of the land in Stateton belongs to the government, because the government planned the island as the largest landfill in New York, so almost all the land was bought, and only 10% of the land is privately owned, and these private lands are residential, shopping malls, and several oil refineries.

These refineries were the Rockefeller family, and they thought they were too polluting so they rushed to Staunton. Now that John wants to develop Stan Stanton, he naturally wants to drive it away.

As for why the government stopped buying and selling land, it was because once the news of development spread, real estate developers would swarm like a group of sharks that smelled blood, and when the time came, they would hoard land with all their might, and then sell it ten times and a hundred times when it was developed.

So John had to come up with a plan to curb the soaring housing prices, to provide living space for the people who came to work in Staunton, and not to let the real estate developers sabotage his plans, these people only have money in their heads, whether it will destroy development, whether people can afford to buy houses, is not in their consideration.

John's precaution proved to be correct, and when the Federal Department of Development Planning went to Staunton to investigate, real estate agents with a keen sense of smell came to the door, hoping to buy some Staunton land from the government.

When the government department refused, these real estate developers went crazy and immediately vigorously disposed of the real estate in their hands and raised funds everywhere.

The more it is not sold, the more valuable it is, and the government does not sell the land, which just proves that Staunton is going to be developed, and once Stendon is developed, the land will be valuable, so these real estate developers will cash in on the one hand, and send people to the island to inspect at the same time, and then seize the best location and the largest land.

And some well-connected real estate developers not only went to the island to investigate, but also searched around for news, and when they learned that the departments of the city government would be relocated to Staunton, these people couldn't sit still at all, and they were looking for connections to try to get the best place.

The interests involved in Manhattan's projectile land are massive, Staten is much larger than Manhattan, and it can be reclaimed at any time, the benefits are incalculable, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a golden nest, whoever wants to grab the favorable place first, then who will get the greatest benefits.
