Martha's eyes widened with rage, her hands on her hips, Clark and Bruce could only stand at the kitchen door and bow their heads to train, while Jonathan leaned against the refrigerator next to him to watch the excitement.

"Clark! I really didn't think of it, how can you take Bruce to play in the water?! Martha said as she stared at Clark.

Clark opened his mouth and stretched out his hand to point at Bruce, he wanted to explain that Bruce did it first, but Martha immediately grabbed the white and said: "Bruce is a guest of our house, you actually let him wash the dishes?!" ”

"I didn't stare at you for just two minutes, and not only did you take the sick guest to wash the dishes, but you also covered him with water, don't you know that the wound is not healed and you can't touch the water?!" Clark muttered in frustration, "Got it, Mom, I'll clean it up." ”

"Alright, don't be angry." Jonathan immediately walked up to play the round, he grabbed Martha's waist and walked out with her, and said: "Young lads are always like this, they are still far from the governor and sensible, which reminds me of the days when my brother and I were camping on the banks of the Mississippi River, and he never beat me in a water fight......" As the voices of the two became farther and farther away, Clark glanced at Bruce helplessly, but seeing that his collar and sleeves were stained with water, he was still a little worried and said: "You hurry up upstairs and change your clothes, Don't really get the wound infected. Bruce shook his head lightly and said: "I'm not that fragile, I went to hell once before, devoured a lot of soul energy, and after the strength of the soul overflows, I will take the initiative to heal the body, and my self-healing ability is much stronger than ordinary people." Clark stepped forward and touched Bruce's forehead and said, "Look, you've got a fever, get out of here, I'm going to mop the floor." Bruce shook his head, walked back to the sink and said, "You clean up the floor, I'll finish the dishes......"

"Hey gentlemen, do you need help?" Diana leaned against the kitchen door and tapped lightly with her fingers, and she looked at the somewhat messy floor, as if surprised.

Clark looked a little embarrassed, after all, the water fight was indeed a bit naïve, he had to explain, "No, it's nothing, Miss Prince, you can go upstairs with Louise to change into clothes for work, and we'll go around the field later." ”

"You're having a water fight here?" Diana looked at the marks on the ground and said bluntly: "It looks like you didn't hit him." Clark was even more embarrassed, but at this time Diana took the initiative to change the subject, she looked at Bruce, her face was a little more straight, and said: "I heard about what you did in Gotham, you took the initiative to renovate the buildings in the slums, built more industries, provided more jobs for the poor, and actively developed tourism to prepare for the transformation of the city, to be honest, you are a hero." Bruce looked a little surprised, he looked at Diana with some surprise, Diana shook her head and said, "You shouldn't be the kind of old-fashioned person who thinks that women don't pay attention to current political news, right?" Bruce turned around and brushed the dishes as he said, "I just didn't expect you to know so much." ”

"Of course, thanks to the reporter in front of you, his report on Gotham in the Metropolitan Daily also caught my attention, and I was very interested in the city, so I looked up some things over there." Diana replied.

"I mean, you've learned something that the average person wouldn't know."

"Of course, after all, I am the princess of the Amazon, I belong to the royal family, I also have my own political advisers, and more importantly, Paradise Island holds a lot of shares of the Wayne Group, and some of your actions can't escape our eyes." Bruce nodded, and accepted this statement, Paradise Island is similar to most of the small countries in the world, basically has no industry, mainly develops tourism, but because of its unique geographical environment and social structure, it still has a certain right to speak in the international community.

Just like all small countries, their main source of income is still investment and trust, and it is very normal for them to hold shares in Wayne Group.

Diana tapped her finger lightly on her arm and said, "It may be a bit rude, but I still want to advise you, taking too big a step is not necessarily a good thing." ”

"You're worried about the stock falling?" Bruce glanced back at Diana slightly.

"On the contrary, I'm worried that you're just pumping blood from the main arteries of the Wayne Group, and if the capital chain breaks down, then all the renovation projects will be unfinished."

"For the rich, unfinished buildings don't have any impact, and they don't go there anyway, but for the poor, the impact is huge." Diana frowned slightly, such an expression showed extra compassion on her bright face, and she said with a little worry: "I have seen many rich people who want to do good deeds with hot brains, they start quickly, invest a lot, and have good hearts, but in the end, they often don't get good results, because they are too anxious. ”

"What they give to the people at the bottom is what they think the people at the bottom want, not necessarily what the people at the bottom really need, and because the stalls are too big, they can't control it, the project is unfinished, and they still owe a lot of debts."

"When some projects are in full swing, they give hope to the poor, and the cruelest thing in the world is to give hope to others and destroy that hope with your own hands."

"And after not achieving good results, they will also feel that their kindness has been let down, and their feelings have been hurt, which is completely a lose-lose situation."

"I think that to do good things, we should also pay attention to the long stream, stretch the timeline long enough, and also have the advantage of being a latecomer, in case there is any problem in the middle, it is easier to recover, and it is easier to learn lessons in the later projects and do better." Bruce looked at Diana with even more surprise, he didn't expect that he would hear such advice from Diana's mouth.

In fact, after the Wayne Group decided to do the Gotham makeover, many people have expressed their opinions on it.

But most of them only have two opinions, one is that they think that the Wayne Group will not be able to complete such a big project, and it is a complete waste of time, and the other is that no matter how much the Wayne Group has done, it is good to have this heart.

To Bruce's surprise, Diana's advice was indeed pertinent, and there was a maturity in her that was not appropriate for her age.

The beautiful black-haired princess looked young, definitely not more than thirty years old, but behaved as if she were already in her fifties or sixties.

Looking at Bruce's expression, Diana burst out laughing, she waved her hand and said, "Am I like an old lady?" ”

"Thank you for your advice." Bruce said sincerely. Diana shook her head, she reminisced a little more, and then asked, "I've heard you've remodeled a quarter of the East End, which is quite an amazing achievement." Before Bruce could say anything, Clarke stared at Bruce with wide eyes, as if he didn't believe that his friend had done such a big thing without saying a word.

Although Clark reported on Gotham, he was more inclined to cultural influences and did not pay special attention to the economy and renovation projects, but he was surprised by the data in Diana's mouth.

Gotham is a megacity on the east coast, with a total area of about 1,000 square kilometers, including the sea, while the land area is about 700 square kilometers, and its Middle East District accounts for more than a quarter of the area, about 200 square kilometers.

The actual residential area used for living is almost exactly 100 square kilometers, so 1/4 is 25 square kilometers.

It sounds like it's not a big area, but it's about the size of a small town, but Gotham East is the densest residential area in a megacity, and the density of buildings and population is unmatched by a small town.

The population of these 25 square kilometers is equivalent to a small city, and it would take unimaginable manpower and material resources to tear down a city and rebuild it.

Of course, if it's the state that does this, it's much easier. If a country has a complete industrial system, then the cost of construction is about equal to the cost of raw materials, and with various policies, it is not difficult to build one or two cities with the cooperation of many parties.

But the problem is that no matter how powerful the Wayne Group is, it is only a private group, and its business scope is limited, and it is impossible to be like a country, which has mining, smelting, and foundry, and can produce building raw materials, furniture, and water and electricity.

Then, all these missing industries need to be filled with money, that is, directly buying finished products.

Even if the big deal would be cheaper, it wouldn't be much cheaper, and at this level of cost, the wealth spent to build a small, densely populated city would be sky-high.

Diana saw this, and she wanted to come over to remind Bruce, worried that the young entrepreneur was too anxious and filled in all the costs at once, causing the Wayne Group's capital chain to break.

In that case, not only will it not save the civilians of Gotham, but the bankruptcy of the Wayne Group may also cause many people to lose their jobs, making Gotham's situation worse.

And the reason why Bruce sincerely thanked Diana for his suggestion is because Diana was right, he is now using the money of the Wayne Group to invest in the construction of Gotham, which is completely pumping blood on the artery of the Wayne Group, which is not a sustainable business practice, and the risk is already too high.

Bruce would worry about money before, and the same is true, he doesn't really have no money, but compared to the sky-high cost, it seems that he has no money.

Soon Clark also reacted, he looked at Bruce a little anxiously and said, "What then?" If you want to save people, you have to ensure your own safety first! If something happens to the Wayne Group, it's going to be a big problem. But then he sighed and said, "I don't mean you should go back to work right now, don't get me wrong, it's still the same sentence, health is the most important thing." Diana raised an eyebrow, looked at Bruce and said, "...... You're hurt? As soon as Bruce was about to speak, Clark immediately spoke: "Yes, he is very badly injured, and if I hadn't brought him out, he would have been going to fight that group of criminals in that crazy city!" Diana showed a disapproving expression, looked at Bruce and said, "Since you know what you have to do, you should know that you have to protect yourself before you can achieve your ideals." ”

"At this important juncture, if something happens to the controller of the group and affects the confidence of shareholders, it will be even more dangerous." Diana said as she spoke, saying that she was in a hurry, and she began to pace at the kitchen door with some irritation, and said quickly: "In your series of actions to transform Gotham, I see the possibility of the city's salvation, and I think the citizens of Gotham think the same way." ”

"You've given them hope, they're willing to wait for you, they're willing to wait for you to give them a brand new Gotham."

"But if that hope falls halfway through, maybe they won't have hope again, and if anyone wants to change the city in the future, they won't choose to believe it anymore."

"In the case of Gotham, more than 7 million people here need to be saved, you are their people's desire, thousands of hopes are tied together, are you really well prepared to deal with the troubles I mentioned?"
