Hell's Kitchen, officially known as Clinton, popularly known as Midtown West, is an area on the West Shore of Manhattan Island in New York City. It is roughly a rectangular area bounded by 59th and 34th Streets from north to south, with Eighth Avenue to the east and the Hudson River to the west.

Formerly a prominent slum on the island of Manhattan, the area was populated mainly by working-class Irish immigrants and was known for its chaotic and backward quality of living, high ethnic conflicts, and high crime rates.

Although poverty has been largely lifted out of poverty under the vigorous governance of the New York government, the gangs that have always been rooted here have not been eliminated, and the word 'chaos' has always been a label on Hell's Kitchen.

For many years, Marvel's superhero Daredevil Matt Murdoch led the Defenders League to fight crime here, fighting the New York gang led by King and maintaining a delicate balance.

But this delicate balance was destined to be upset when a bar opened, a 'Bar Thirteen' with a taboo sign. Opened just two months ago, this bar sits on the edge of Hell's Kitchen, right next to the Hudson River, and has the unique house number 'Thirteen' on the entire island of Manhattan!

To Westerners, Bar Thirteen is special in that it is located on the top floor of the small 12-story building of Thirteen, and is an open-air bar like the bars set up by the major hotels in Manhattan. If you are in the middle of it at night, you can barely feel the bustling night view of New York.

However, high-end furniture, comfortable surroundings and well-paid bands did not save the bar's dismal business. Thirteen is a no-no for New Yorkers, and for those on the fringes of Hell's Kitchen, this high-budget, literary open-air bar is not favored by locals and thugs.

In the huge bar of more than 300 square meters, there are only a few three tables of customers, which is still the white beauty who took the trouble to personally distribute flyers and pulled them from the other side of the river. In any kind of service type of business, when there are more customers than store staff, the boss needs to consider adjusting the business model and strategy!

Xiao Yu, who was leaning on the bar, only took a minute to read today's ledger, looked up at the single-digit drinkers and the band in the center of the bar, and took two deep breaths in a row to adjust his depressed mood.

"Business can't go on like this! Card's deposits from major casinos in the past two years have almost been spent, and now Xiaobai's money is only tens of thousands of dollars at most. If this continues, one day I will have the money to buy tonic medicine for the disciples and grandchildren of Snake Valley! ”

Thinking about the few properties of the small gang today, Xiao Yu, who felt that his trouser pocket was empty, finally planned to adjust his business ideas.

Xiao Yu glanced at Sanderson, the fat man who was a bartender but had already started to wipe his wine glass, and said, "Fat man, inform a few of them to go to the twelfth floor for a meeting, just look at Xiao Hei here!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Hei, who was also wiping his wine glass, nodded to show that he understood, and without waiting for the five King Kongs under his command to gather, Xiao Yu took the account book and turned around and went down to the twelfth floor.

There are a total of seven houses on the twelfth floor, and after buying the twelfth and thirteenth floors with Card's money, Xiao Yu opened up one of them and transformed them into a large conference room, and the remaining six sets are just one set per person, which can be regarded as a home for a few guys who came to New York from the Amazon jungle to work hard!

Just less than five minutes after Xiao Yu sat down in the conference room, the five King Kongs pushed the door in one after another.

"This is the ledger from the opening to the present, you all have a look!" After putting the ledger on the table and motioning for several people to pass it to each other, Xiao Yu sighed again.

The fat man sitting next to Xiao Yu was the first to finish reading, "Boss, it seems that we are not suitable for opening a bar!" Look at this loss, it hurts my heart. If I had heard that I had opened a restaurant, maybe we would have sent it a long time ago! ”

"You are a foodie, you know restaurants, you know how to eat, deduct the money for which wine you drink, and we won't lose much!"

When Ulliel heard the fat man's complaints, he directly expressed his dissatisfaction, after all, he found the house and the venue, and if it was a wrong decision to open a bar, then he also had some responsibility.

"Okay, the boss didn't let you come to talk about it, now use your brains and think of a way together, otherwise we will have to go bankrupt sooner or later." Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Bai Suzhen, who had been officially promoted to the chief housekeeper, spoke directly to suppress them.

"Yes! Now we don't have much deposit, boss, why don't I go to the casino to gamble two and find some money in case of emergency? Card, who was sitting next to Six Ears, sighed and suggested to a few people that he should go back to the casino and make a few money.

"Are there big casinos in New York? How much do you estimate you can win at one time? Hearing Card's words, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up and he asked.

"There aren't many big casinos in New York, after all, this is not Las Vegas, but if I go around, it's no problem to win a few million conservatively!"

"Too little, too little!" After listening to Card's plan and harvest, Xiao Yu said softly.

"Boss, that's less! Judging from the speed at which we make money by opening a bar, even if the business is booming, we will earn at least a year from these millions! Liu'er, who had just picked up a glass of water to drink, almost choked after hearing Xiao Yu's self-talk.

After listening to Xiao Yu's self-talk and Liu'er's words, the rest of the people all looked at Xiao Yu. After all, whether Xiao Yu and the others open a bar or a restaurant, they are just looking for an identity on the surface, so as to avoid being troubled by institutions like S.H.I.E.L.D., so that they can lurk quietly in New York, so that they can take advantage of various super confrontation incidents in the future.

Usually the noise of a few people is just a bickering to add some spice to a calm and boring life. How could you hear Xiao Yu's tone just now, as if he was going to make a big deal about making money?

The problem is that in this world, it's not who has the money who has the final say, isn't it good if there is enough money? Is it necessary to risk revealing the identities of several of your people for the sake of a string of numbers?

Glancing at a few people who didn't understand the importance of money at all, Xiao Yu had to explain: "Use your brains, what can you do with money?" ”

"Shopping!" The fat man said with a disdainful expression.

"Nonsense! Of course, the money is used to buy things, so it's hard to wipe your butt, and you don't panic! ”

Xiao Yu teased the fat man before he continued:

"Since money is used to buy things, although we can't buy things that are directly beneficial to us now, it can buy elixirs that are beneficial to the little ones who have not yet built a foundation and transformed into shapes!

Think about it, even if you can't buy something as magical as a blood orchid, you can always buy ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum! And when we have money, we can also set up a team of experts to study blood orchids and find ways to expand planting. Do you think money is of a big difference? ”

After listening to Xiao Yu's straightforward explanation, Bai Suzhen, who had never had a specific concept of money, couldn't sit still all of a sudden, who didn't have a group behind them!

After getting excited, they all shouted that they wanted to make a lot of money, what kind of kidnapping, robbing the US federal treasury! All kinds of strange methods are popping up one after another.

This strange way of making money can surprise Card, although several of them can be regarded as superhuman, but he still has not thought about the idea of directly confronting the country.

Card, who grew up in human society, knows better than other people the power and terror of the government, and he feels unreliable no matter how he listens to it, but he doesn't know how to dissuade him, and his brain is sweating profusely.

After a while, the six ears calmed down under the momentum that Xiao Yu took the initiative to emanate, and continued to wait for Boss Xiao to speak.

"Now you know why I want to make money, right? This idea was also understood by me after absorbing the blood of Bruce Banner, since the technology is so easy to use now, why can't we use it, and after thinking about it later, I understand, because there is no money! ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu playfully turned out the empty trouser pocket for everyone to see, and after a small action slightly alleviated the hot atmosphere because of money, Xiao Yu proposed a way to circle money.

"Isn't Hell's Kitchen home to countless gangsters? On the one hand, we can blame their enemies by eating black and black, so that they can go to war with each other, causing a more chaotic situation, so that we can fish in troubled waters. On the other hand, it is also conducive to diverting the attention of the officials and hiding ourselves a little deeper.

The accumulation of money, the first pot of gold is very important, with this first pot of gold, we can start to buy elixirs on the one hand, and invest on the bright side on the other, such as Stark Industries is good, or directly set up a company controlled by us, completely whitewashing our identity! ”

Seeing that the five people present all nodded in agreement, Xiao Yu continued:

"My thoughts about the bar are that it still has to be open, and that's the best identity we can be on the surface right now. Even if everyone knows it's fake, for some people, it's a cover, but sometimes it's this cover that is needed, and the world is always so wonderful! Isn't it? ”

After seeing everyone nodding again, Xiao Yucai asked Liu'er:

"Liu'er, you have collected the general information of Hell's Kitchen, so do you think there are any targets in the near future that are worth our shot?"
