Chapter 105 Gotham Dragon (Part 2)
Develop tourism in Gotham?
If someone had said this to Bruce before, he would suggest that the person go to Arkham Mental Hospital to see his brain.
Who dares to travel to Gotham?
If someone really comes, he can only buy one-way tickets, and there is no need to return anyway.
But to Bruce's surprise, the friends around him seemed not surprised by this, and many even supported him.
"Actually, Gotham's natural conditions are pretty good, right? Our latitude is not high and not cold. It has a humid subtropical monsoon climate. There is no natural disaster like tornadoes, and there is also a golden beach. The beach quality is one of the best on the entire East Coast..."
"Of course, of course, I know that the gambling industry is not much better. Gambling people 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, patted Bruce on the shoulder next to him and said, "You have not graduated from college yet, and you may feel that this world is not black and white. If Gotham wants to become better, then you have to become better in one breath..."
"But in reality, this is unlikely. Even from the moment, it is impossible for Gotham to become completely better. It either rots or worse."
"However, the large number of jobs that casinos can provide can reduce the unemployed. When more formal jobs appear, the possibility of violent gangsters being fired will be reduced and will become more stable."
"This is a good thing for any city. Although I think Gotham is unlikely to become a normal city like the Imperial City, at least it is definitely much better than the current situation..."
"But……"
Bruce's current state is that he understands the truth. He is a genius. Of course, he can see the benefits brought by this industry transformation and upgrading, and even the Wayne family will benefit from it.
But he just felt it was ridiculous now.
Bruce's attitude towards Gotham was actually quite negative. He knew better than anyone how bad this city was. He had never expected this city to develop in any good direction.
But now it seems that Gotham is not developing in a good direction, but changing to a bad road on the bad road, just like turning from a dead end to a dead end. After a series of operations, it turned into a colorful black, from the original capital of sin to the fancy capital of sin.
The connection between Gotham and Chicago alone has brought some changes to the city.
As we all know, the transit of smuggled goods requires storage in warehouses. Cooperation with Chicago has greatly expanded the route of smuggled goods, and the number of smuggled goods has increased, so more warehouses are needed to store them.
If you want to build a warehouse, you must have land. Everyone wants to divide one more piece of the added cake. Therefore, the twelve families began a crazy land grabbing campaign, and the land near Gotham was doubled by them.
Moreover, you can’t just take pictures of the land, and the warehouse is not transformed.
To build a warehouse, designers have to draw drawings, engineering teams, inspectors have to inspect things, and to transport things into the warehouse, some people have to transport them, and some people have to transport them. After a few years, at least thousands of jobs have been added out of thin air.
Moreover, some more dangerous chemical smuggling products need to be stored in special warehouses, such as low-temperature warehouses.
Victor never thought he would receive 89 job invitations within a week, and all of them offered high salaries that would blind him, which combined would be enough for him to freeze his wife until the next century.
When he had been working for a few days at night to make extra money, he was exhausted and couldn't stand it and had to call his classmates and ask them to come to Gotham to make a lot of money, he himself felt that he was crazy.
The sudden expansion of smuggling channels is like a huge cake, and the cake splitting model is to have fast hands and slow hands. If you want to grab the largest cake quickly, you must build a series of supporting facilities earlier than others. After seeing this, the gang leader began to rush to build supporting facilities in advance before other industries began to cooperate.
The dock, which has not been renovated for decades, has begun to be bustling again. In order to allow larger ships to be parked, they had to consider funding to build a deep-water dock. In order to make the dock's transshipment faster, land reclamation projects have also been put on the agenda.
Moreover, when you communicate with the world's sources of goods, you have to need planes. A little sign has just been revealed in the mayor's office, and almost all the big gangsters are moving, saying that everyone is responsible for Gotham construction, and it is better to leave it to us to do the airport project.
And they soon discovered that air freight is also great compared to ship shipping. Some bulk commodities are of course better transported by freighters, but some relatively precise small-piece equipment and instruments are faster and safer to use air freight.
If you want to air transport, you need a larger airport, more warehouses, and faster internal logistics circulation system, and you also need more land, more warehouse builders, more professional managers and technical workers.
The local labor force in Gotham is limited, and most of them are already members of various gangs. Now Gotham is gradually developing towards the direction of posts and others.
At this time, people discovered that the reason why there are many jobs and not enough people is actually not because there are few Gotham people, but because they are not professional enough.
Even if you are a porter, you have to learn some skills to exert force, otherwise you will be exhausted after doing the work all morning, and of course there will be no one in the afternoon.
Because Gotham’s basic education facilities are insufficient, most people are street-slip before they become adults. It can be said that they are not good at doing anything and can’t learn anything.
The gang boss found that the existing group of people might not be able to save them, so let's start with the next generation. I need a truck driver, so I will find a way to open a driver's school, I need a tower guide, so I will find a way to open an aerial technical training school. The most unhealthy dock also requires porters, and I can just take two classes to work.
All underages over 14 years old and under 18 years old should not wander around the streets every day and go to class as soon as possible. Don’t you know if you are short of people now?
You can say that in Gotham, a ghost place, it is very effective to popularize education by gangsters, because in a family of three, at least one member is a gang member, most of which are two.
Your immediate boss now tells you that there are a lot of jobs waiting for people to work and get money, and your children are still wandering around the streets every day and causing trouble everywhere. Most gangster parents will choose to catch the children and beat them up, and then throw them to learn some skills. Anyway, they can't learn it, which is better than causing trouble outside.
Of course, the current school model is basically to find an open space and then find someone who knows it. While gesturing, how much you can understand depends entirely on understanding, and when applying it, it basically depends on practical experience. Even the prototype of the school is not even considered a prototype. It can only be said that it has just broken away from the oral inheritance of the medieval era, but it is better to have it than not.
Those who are more visionary in the twelve families have begun to think. If they can open schools that belong to their own families and educate a group of professionals who belong to their own families to serve their families only, wouldn’t they be ahead of other families for the entire era?
As long as they hire better teachers with high salaries and teach stronger professional managers, their industries will be stronger than others and they can also get bigger cakes when they divide the cake.
This idea was not immediately put into practice, because Gotham's atmosphere of relying on the weather has lasted for decades. Gotham people have no habit of education or being educated. Their investment in education is almost zero, and they dare not take risks for a while.
But with the gradual development of this industrial model, they will find that in fact, the fundamental part of everything lies in education. They will find that the large amount of money they spend now on hiring those technicians from other places. If they are invested to cultivate local residents and their own direct descendants, they will not only gain professional and technical personnel, but also a large number of reputational interests.
The previous generation of strong men, including Falcone, have seen the future from this model. The 21st century will be a century of talent cultivation. All competition, in the end, depends on who can cultivate more and stronger talents.
Once this relatively advanced model is introduced, those smart people who are limited by the times will soon complete everything next, so it is not surprising that the old godfather Falcone was the first to take the lead and want to open a family school.
Of course, this school is not aimed at civilians, but at descendants of the Falcone family members. They will learn a lot of elite courses here to better manage the resources of the Falcone family in the future.
Of course, each of the members of the Falcone family wants their children to enter this school, because once they enter this school, it means entering the sight of the godfather. If they can achieve excellent results, they will likely be assigned a better position and go higher and further.
The godfather's little moves were obviously not hidden from other families. Although the school has only seven students so far and the teaching location is only in a reception room in the Falcone Manor, the other twelve families have not learned anything else in so many years, so they can be finished.
This Gotham Longzhong match, proposed by Schiller, improved by Falcone, and jointly carried out by all Gotham gangs, shocked everyone in the early stages of its implementation.
People resist reform not to resist the part that can bring benefits to people in reform, but to resist excessively intense changes in the way of distribution of interests and changes in lifestyles.
When a reform does not actually change people's lifestyles, gangs or gangs, no one wants to eradicate them, twelve families or twelve families, no one wants to destroy them, but everyone unites to exchange small investment for the qualification to share a bigger cake, then everyone will feel that reform is just a means to gain more benefits.
Those who gain benefits will be carried on and use the profits they have already obtained to invest more in this reform in the hope of getting a bigger cake.
More importantly, Gotham Longzhong’s first step was proved to everyone in Gotham that one thing was not something that could not be produced by mud. The point of gold hunting in shit was not shit, as long as gold was real gold.
