Chapter 840: Gotham Transformation in Progress (Part II)
The East End renovation plan was in full swing, but soon, the first resistance came, the four gangs on Elizabeth Street jointly protested upward, demanding an explanation from the Twelve Families, and the Wayne family built something on their land without telling them, and even killed several of them.
The leaders of the Twelve Families held a meeting and decided to call Bruce Wayne over to talk, though they didn't expect any explanation from the playboy.
So far, the Twelve families still feel that Bruce Wayne is just a brain twitch and suddenly wants to save Gotham, so they are interested in starting some renovation project, perhaps, he will not be interested in playing for a while.
Bruce didn't plan to pretend anymore, so he led his staff team to the meeting.
"Now I would like to introduce to you, John, the main planner of this renovation project, John, please tell these gentlemen about what I am going to do and the benefits that it can bring......
As soon as John walked up, one of the leaders of the Twelve Families said, "Mr. Wayne, we understand you, your kindness, and your desire to improve the living conditions there, but you also have to give us a little face......
"The four leaders of Elizabeth Street have been messing with me for three days, and they almost carried the dead man's coffin to my door, what do you want me to do?"
Bruce cleared his throat and said, "Elizabeth Street is 6 kilometers away from where I want to renovate, how can it be their territory?"
"The Blue Jackets told me that they killed the gang boss there, reclaimed the territory, and became the new boss there."
"When my project was just going into production?"
Hearing the sarcasm in Bruce's tone, the mob boss grimaced and didn't say anything more, and soon, John began to introduce the entire construction project.
At the beginning, when talking about the building part, everyone's faces did not change, but soon, they began to talk about the overpass supporting the building.
In the concept of a three-dimensional city, the overpass is the top priority, and the three-dimensional traffic will bring a lot of convenience, as long as the technology is in place, there is the possibility of infinite extension.
What are the gangsters most afraid of right now? They are not afraid of change, they are afraid that they will not make money after change.
Even if they don't rely on the logistics industry to make money, more overpasses can alleviate the problem of traffic congestion, freeing up more time for their own business, both in terms of interests and feelings, they want someone to build the road.
The problem is that the vast majority of people are reluctant to pay for their own road construction, because if too much money is invested in public facilities, their families will weaken and then be eaten by others.
Last time, the upgrade of Gotham's transportation system and the construction of Living Hell were led by the Godfather, and the twelve families invested equally, as long as everyone was weakened on average, they didn't worry that the other party would take advantage of others.
And this time, the Wayne family actually said that they don't need to pay money, they just need to cooperate with the construction, and the price paid is only a little manpower, but what they get is a very convenient interchange system covering the entire city. ….
It's not that Gotham doesn't have overpasses, but the construction time is relatively long, and it was built by Bruce's parents when they were there, and there are many overpasses that are neglected to maintain and are no longer usable, occupying space out of thin air.
There are also some bridges, located in the degree that can be used but used very uncomfortable, when they are built, it is often for a momentary need, and the planning is not good, resulting in the position of the upper bridge and the lower bridge mouth are very awkward, and sometimes, under the bridge, you have to go around a big bend to get to the destination, which is no longer suitable for the current Gotham City.
No one is willing to pay for it. They can only make do with it, but now that Wayne is willing to pay, they have no reason to refuse.
"I must emphasize that the renovation of the building is to cooperate with the renovation of the overpass, even if it is the technology of the Wayne Group, there is no way to ensure that the 100-meter-high overpass can stand out of thin air, it must rely on the building."
"If you can directly let the overpass levitate out of thin air, *** why do you want to change the building? Is there nowhere to spend the money you have to burn?"
Bruce discovered
, Schiller's way of speaking in which he hates everyone equally, is really very useful, and the mentally ill can say whatever he wants, without caring about anyone's face.
"I give those people houses, not because I am kind, but because if I renovate the building, there must be residents in the building, and only with residents will there be consumption, and with consumption, there will be commerce, and with business, there will be money......
Bruce Wayne crossed his arms and said, "It's a completely short-sighted idea to see that group of people as superfluous, only the people at the bottom who keep working can create a steady stream of income for us, and if they are all gone, are you going to do it yourself?" Going to drive a truck? To be a porter?"
"I have to admit that those poor ghosts you don't look down on are the cornerstone of the city, and in order for them to work better, you have to provide them with a house, and if you drive them all away, no one will be happy."
The leader of the twelve families, you look at me, I look at you, one of them cleared his throat and said, "Since this is the case, then you should also say hello to us in advance, so as not to make trouble for the people below......
"I'm not worried about them getting in trouble, because I've installed defenses on every floor, and the gangsters you mentioned were probably hit by it." Bruce knocked on the table and said, "The property of the Wayne Group is my personal property, private property is sacrosanct, and if anyone wants to enter my construction site to steal something, or want to cause damage, I have the right to defend it."
Bruce paused, as if he didn't think he had learned the essence of Schiller, and one of the gang leaders said, "You can't do that, you have to follow the rules here, if you want to fight that gangster." You have to ......."
"Okay, okay, I'm going to fight with this gangster, and then I'm going to fight with that gangster, then you just wait, in ten years, I'm going to spend nine years catching thieves, and then half a year to catch the gangsters, and finally half a year to deal with the bridge, and it will collapse in less than half a year after it is put into use, and when the time comes, you can repair it yourself."
The other gangsters were also a little speechless by his rogue attitude, but although Bruce was aggressive, he had a point. ….
No one knows better than these gang leaders what the virtues of their men are, let alone the Wayne family's construction site, even if the dung truck passes by the door, they have to dip their hands to taste the saltiness.
If the gangsters were to harass the Wayne family under all sorts of names, they had to provide someone to protect them, or the bridge wouldn't be built. Everyone still has to block together.
However, if you want to provide people to protect, you will inevitably offend the people below you and make them think that you are not fair to outsiders.
But now, the Wayne family knows each other very well and is the bad guy, so in fact, the twelve families just need to pretend that they don't know anything.
The Wayne family cooperated with the government in a legal form, took out a large amount of money to buy land, and invested countless manpower to build bridges, and in the end it was the gangsters, especially the Twelve Families, because they had the most property and the highest transportation requirements.
In that case, why not let him build it? Isn't it just an overpass? It's not a nuclear bomb weapon, he can't threaten the gangsters with a bridge, right?
After Bruce deliberately blurs the point, all the gang leaders set their sights on the flyover's plans.
However, it is not surprising that Wayne's three-dimensional transportation system is indeed novel and very eye-catching, compared to the architectural renovation that is similar to living hell, there are few highlights.
The big deal is that there are a few more living hells, the leaders of the twelve families all think so, and the living hells have not made any waves, but the rent has risen a little, and because the security over there is relatively good, there are fewer troubles, and there is more money collected, and there are a few more such areas, it is nothing.
In this way, the meeting of the guests and hosts was over, and the leader of the twelve families said, I will take care of the thorns on Elizabeth Street, you can build your bridge, build it quickly, put it into use quickly, hello, I am good, everyone.
Bruce found that the anesthetic that had been injected into it had taken effect, and hurried to speed up the construction, and before the first phase was completed, the second phase was ready to lay the foundation, and the building materials for the overpass between the first and second phases were also put into production.
In fact, the technology involved in building renovation is all leftover from the Bat Cave.
These technologies were not held back by him in a day or two, when the Batcave was built before, many problems had been solved, and the chip authentication system was actually used by Batman to provide defense for the Batcave in the future.
If he was the only one, he wouldn't need any certification, but since he had adopted Dick and Aisha, it would be inevitable that the two little assistants would have to go in and out of the batcave in the future, and get a certification system to make it easier for them to enter and exit.
This authentication system can be used to implement the resettlement plan, prevent some people from over-occupying the housing resources, and also provide a basis for the future permission system, so Bruce transformed it into the building.
Everything is going well, and Gotham starts to build on it, but soon, Bruce runs into another problem.
He found that he had no money.
This is a very scary fact, but it is actually reasonable, although the Wayne Group is very large, but the vast majority of funds are circulating in production, and there is not much liquidity.
At this time, it is not one or two construction sites that are under construction, the first and second phases plus the overpass project are added together, and there are more than 130 construction sites at the same time, even the largest real estate developer in the United States rarely starts so many real estate projects at the same time.
Wayne Group has a professional engineering team, but they are not professional real estate developers after all, even if many raw materials are obtained through replacement, technology does not require additional costs, but labor and consumables alone have hollowed out almost all of Bruce's working capital.
This is a very dangerous signal, Bruce knows that once a company loses too much liquidity, it means that the ability to resist risks is reduced, and more trial and error costs are lost, and the business strategy can only turn conservative, and in the long run, assets will inevitably shrink, forming a vicious circle.
And Bruce found out that he was now working on the project. It accounts for less than one percent of the entire Gotham renovation project.
He knew he had to find a way to make money now.
Then he found that, as Schiller said, living in high society is not much easier than living in a slum, and with the size of the Wayne Group, it is difficult to go further.
Earn money, make money, make money......
Bruce never imagined that he would have a headache for money one day.
Perhaps, this is a report and a report, not a report, the time has not yet come.
