Chapter 105: Gotham Longzhong (Part II)
Developing tourism in Gotham?
If someone had said this to Bruce before, he would have suggested that the person go to Arkham Psychiatric Hospital to have a look at the brain.
Which eye-opener would dare to travel to Gotham?
If someone really comes, then he can just buy a one-way ticket, and he won't need to return anyway.
But to Bruce's surprise, none of his friends seemed surprised by this, and many of them were even supportive.
"Actually, Gotham's natural conditions are pretty good, right? We don't have a high latitude, it's not cold, it's a humid subtropical monsoon climate, there are no natural disasters like tornadoes, and we have a golden beach with one of the best quality beaches on the entire East Coast......"
"Of course, of course, I know that the gambling industry is not much better, gamblers are not nobler than those addicts, but they are much better than drug trafficking, arms and dangerous goods smuggling, right?"
Harvey took a sip of wine, he patted Bruce next to him on the shoulder and said, "You haven't graduated from college yet, you may feel that this world is not black and white, and if Gotham wants to get better, then you have to get better in one breath......"
"But practically, it's unlikely, and even from the current point of view, it's impossible for the city of Gotham to get completely better, either rotten or worse."
"However, the large number of jobs that casinos can provide can reduce the number of unemployed, and when more formal jobs are created, the possibility of gang violence will be reduced and it will become more stable."
"It's a good thing for any city, and while I don't think it's likely that Gotham will become a normal city like Imperial City, it's certainly a lot better than it is now......
Remember the URL
"But ......"
Bruce's current state is that he understands the truth, he is a genius, and of course he can see the benefits of this industrial transformation and upgrading, and even the Wayne family will benefit from it.
But now he just thinks it's ridiculous.
Bruce's attitude towards Gotham is actually quite negative, he knows better than anyone how bad the city is, he never expected the city to go in any good direction.
But now it seems that Gotham is not developing in a good direction, but on a bad road, changing a bad road, as if it has changed from a dead end to a dead end, it is black that has undergone a series of operations, and has become a colorful black, from the original sin capital to the sin capital with bells and whistles.
The tandem of Gotham and Chicago alone has already brought some changes to the city.
As we all know, the transit of contraband requires warehouses for storage, and the cooperation with Chicago has greatly widened the route of contraband, and the number of contraband goods has increased, and more warehouses are needed to store them.
If you want to build a warehouse, you must have land, and everyone wants to get an extra piece of the increased cake, so the twelve families began a crazy land grabbing operation, and the land in the suburbs of Gotham was doubled by them.
Moreover, you can't just take pictures of the land, the warehouse is not conjured.
To build a warehouse, there must be a designer to draw drawings, an engineering team to construct, and inspectors to inspect, to transport things into the warehouse, and someone to carry and transport them.
Moreover, some of the more dangerous chemical contrabands need to be stored in special warehouses, such as low-temperature warehouses.
Victor never imagined that he would receive 89 job offers in a week, and all of them would be paid enough to blind him, enough to freeze his wife into the next century.
When he stayed up for a few days at night to earn extra money and exhausted himself to the point of collapse, and he couldn't stand it anymore and had to call his classmates to ask them to come to Gotham to make a lot of money, he himself wondered if he was crazy.
The sudden widening of smuggling channels is like a huge cake, and the mode of dividing the cake is to be quick and slow, if you want to grab the biggest cake quickly, you must build a series of supporting facilities earlier than others, and the gang leaders saw this, and began to rush to build supporting facilities in advance before other industries began to cooperate.
The docks in Gotham, which had not been renovated for decades, began to be bustling again, and in order to allow larger ships to berth, they had to start thinking about financing the construction of a deep-water dock, and in order to make the docks more transitive, land reclamation projects were also on the agenda.
Moreover, you always need planes to communicate with the world's source of goods, and the mayor's office has just shown a little sign of it, and almost all the big gangsters have heard the news, saying that everyone is responsible for the construction of Gotham, and the airport project should be left to us.
And they soon found that compared with shipping, air transportation is also promising, some bulk commodities are of course better transported by freighter, but some more sophisticated small pieces of equipment and instruments, air transportation is faster and safer.
If you want air freight, you need bigger airports, more warehouses, faster internal logistics circulation system, and you need more land, more warehouse builders, more professional managers and skilled workers.
The local labor force in Gotham is limited, and most of them are already members of various gangs.
At this time, people found that the reason why there are many jobs and not enough people is not because there are few people in Gotham, but because they are not professional enough.
Even if it's a porter, you have to learn the power skills, otherwise you will be tired and lie down directly after a morning of work, and of course there will be no one in the afternoon.
Due to the lack of basic education facilities in Gotham, most people are street slickers until they reach adulthood, so it can be said that they can't do anything and can't learn anything.
The gang boss found that the existing group of people may not be able to be saved, so let's start with the next generation, I need truck drivers, then find a way to open a driver school, I need a tower guide, then find a way to open an aerial technology training school, the most poor dock also needs porters, and you can directly pull it to work after two classes.
All minors over the age of 14 and under the age of 18, don't wander around the streets every day, hurry up to class, don't know if there is a shortage of people now?
Not to mention, in the hellish place of Gotham, the gangster method is very effective in popularizing education, because in a family of three, at least one member will be a gangster, and most of them will be two.
Your immediate boss is now telling you that there are a lot of jobs waiting for people to work and get paid, and your children are still wandering the streets every day, causing trouble everywhere, and most gangster parents will choose to take their children back and beat them, and then throw them to learn some skills, anyway, they can't learn it, and it's better than getting into trouble outside.
Of course, the current school model, basically is to find an open space, and then find a person who knows, while comparing and speaking, how much can be understood depends on understanding, and the application basically depends on practical experience, and even the prototype of the school is not even counted, it can only be said that it has just broken away from the education model of medieval oral transmission, but it is better than nothing.
Those who are more far-sighted in the twelve families have already begun to use their brains, if they can open a school that belongs only to their own family, and educate a group of professionals who belong to their own family, and only serve their family, wouldn't they be able to lead the other families by an entire era?
As long as they hire better teachers with high salaries and teach stronger professional managers, then their industry will be stronger than others, and they will be able to get a bigger cake when they share the cake.
In fact, this idea was not immediately put into practice, because Gotham's culture of relying on the sky for food has been going on for decades, and the people of Gotham do not have any habit of being educated and educated, and their investment in education is almost equal to zero, and they do not dare to take risks for a while.
But with the gradual development of this industrial model, they will find that in fact, the root of everything lies in education, and they will find that the large amount of money they spend now to hire those foreign technicians, if invested in the training of local residents and their own descendants, will not only gain professional and technical personnel, but also a lot of reputational benefits.
The 21st century will be a century of talent training, and all competition, competition in the end, is to see who can cultivate more and stronger talents.
Once this relatively advanced model is introduced, the smart people who are limited by the time will soon do everything that follows, so it is not surprising that the old godfather Falcone was the first to take the lead and wanted to open a family school.
Of course, this school is not for civilians, but for the descendants of the Falcone family, who will learn a lot of elite courses here to better manage the Falcone family's resources in the future.
Of course, the members of the Falcone family want their children to enter this school, because once they enter this school, it means entering the sight of the godfather, and if they can achieve excellent results, they will probably be assigned a better status and go higher and farther.
The godfather's small actions obviously can't be hidden from the other families, although this school has only seven students so far, and the teaching location is only in a reception room in Falcone Manor, but the other twelve families have not learned anything else for so many years.
The Gotham Pair, which was proposed by Schiller, improved by Falcone, and carried out by all the Gotham gangsters, stunned everyone with remarkable results in the early stages of implementation.
People's resistance to reform is not to resist the part of the reform that can bring benefits to people, but to resist the change in the way of distribution of benefits and the change in lifestyle.
When a kind of reform does not actually change people's way of life, gangs are still gangsters, no one wants to eradicate them, twelve families are still twelve families, no one wants to eliminate them, but everyone unites and exchanges small investment for the qualification to get a bigger cake, then everyone will feel that reform is just a means to grab more benefits.
And those who benefit from it will be coerced to continue, using the profits they have already obtained to invest more in this kind of reform, in the hope of getting a bigger pie.
What's more, the first step taken by Gotham Takatsu proves one thing to everyone in Gotham - it's not that there is no gold in the mud pit, and the point of panning for gold in is not, as long as gold is real gold.
They are rotten, but they make money, and there is no shame.
