If someone had said this to Bruce before, he would have suggested that the person go to Arkham Asylum to have their brains checked.
Who dares to travel to Gotham without opening their eyes?
If someone really comes, then he can just buy a one-way ticket, and there is no need for a return trip 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 quite good, right? Our latitude is not high and it is not cold. We have a humid subtropical monsoon climate. There are no natural disasters like tornadoes. We also have a golden beach. The quality of the beach is the best on the entire East Coast.
One of the best..."
"Of course, of course, I know that the gambling industry is not much better. Gamblers are no nobler than those drug addicts, but it is still much better than drug trafficking, arms and dangerous goods smuggling, right?"
Harvey took a sip of wine, patted Bruce next to him on the shoulder and said: "You haven't graduated from college yet, so you may think that the world is black and white. If Gotham wants to get better, it must get better in one go...
"
"But from a practical point of view, this is unlikely. Even from the current point of view, it is impossible for the city of Gotham to completely change for the better. It will either be bad or worse."
"However, the large number of jobs that casinos can provide can reduce the number of unemployed people. When more formal jobs appear, the possibility of gang violence and conflagration will be weakened and it will become more stable."
"This is a good thing for any city. Although I think it is unlikely that Gotham will become a normal city like the Imperial City, but at least it will definitely be 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 kind of industrial transformation and upgrading. Even the Wayne family will benefit from this.
However, he just feels very ridiculous now.
Bruce's attitude towards Gotham is actually quite negative. He knows better than anyone how bad the city is. He never expected that the city would develop in any good direction.
But now it seems that Gotham is not developing in a good direction, but on a bad road. It is like changing from a dead end to a dead end. After Black performed a series of operations,
It turned into colorful black, from the original city of sin to a gaudy city of sin.
Just the connection between Gotham and Chicago has 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 broadened the routes for contraband. As the number of contraband increases, more warehouses are needed for storage.
If you want to build a warehouse, you must have land. Everyone wants to get an extra piece of the increasing cake, so the Twelve Families began a crazy land grabbing operation. The price of land in the suburbs of Gotham doubled as a result of their speculation.
Moreover, you can't just take pictures of the land, the warehouse is not conjured.
To build a warehouse, you need designers to draw pictures, engineering teams to do the work, and inspectors to inspect. To transport things into the warehouse, you need people to move them and transport them. This back and forth creates at least thousands of jobs out of thin air.
.
Moreover, some more dangerous chemical smuggled goods require special warehouses for storage, such as low-temperature warehouses.
Victor never thought that he would receive 89 job offers in one week, and each of them offered a blindingly high salary. Together, they would be enough for him to freeze his wife until the next century.
When he was exhausted from staying up late for several days to earn extra money, 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 thought to himself that he was crazy.
The sudden expansion of smuggling channels is like a huge cake, and the pattern of dividing the cake is to divide the cake quickly. If you want to grab the biggest cake quickly, you must build a series of supporting facilities earlier than others. The gang leader
After seeing this, they began to rush to build supporting facilities in advance before other industries began to cooperate.
Gotham's dock, which has not been renovated for decades, has begun to undergo bustling construction again. In order to allow larger ships to berth, they have to start considering raising funds to build a deep-water dock. In order to make the transfer of the dock faster, reclamation and construction
The land project is also on the agenda.
Moreover, you need planes to communicate with supply places all over the world. The mayor's office has just shown some signs. Almost all the big gangs have caught wind of this and said that everyone is responsible for the construction of Gotham. Why not leave the airport project to us?
Go ahead.
And they soon discovered that compared to shipping, air transportation has great potential. Of course, some bulk commodities are better transported by freighters, but some more sophisticated small equipment and instruments can be transported faster and safer by air.
If you want to transport by air, you need larger airports, more warehouses, and a faster internal logistics circulation system, which also requires more land, more warehouse builders, and 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 beginning to develop in the direction of jobs and waiting for people.
At this time, people discovered that the reason why there were many positions but not enough people was not because there were few people in Gotham, but because they were not professional enough.
Even porters need to learn how to exert force, otherwise they will fall down from exhaustion after working all morning, and of course there will be no one around in the afternoon.
Due to the insufficient basic education facilities in Gotham, most people are street kids before they reach adulthood. It can be said that they are not good at anything and cannot learn anything.
The gang boss found that the current group of people may not be saved, so let’s start from the next generation. I need truck drivers, so I’ll find a way to open a driver’s school. I need a tower controller, so I’ll find a way to open a driver’s school.
There is an aerial technical training school, and even the poorest docks need porters. After just two classes, they can be hired directly to work.
All minors over 14 years old and under 18 years old, stop wandering around the streets every day and go to class quickly. Don’t you know there is a shortage of people now?
Not to mention, in this hellish place like Gotham, using gangster methods to popularize education is very effective, because in a family of three, at least one member will be a gang member, 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. The vast majority of gangster parents will choose to take their children back and beat them.
Have a meal, and then throw it away to learn some skills. Anyway, even if you can't learn it, it's better than causing trouble outside.
Of course, the current school model is basically to find an open space, and then find a person who knows how to make gestures while speaking. How much you can understand depends on your understanding, and its application basically relies on practical experience. It is even the prototype of a school.
If not, it can only be said that it has just broken away from the oral education model of the Middle Ages, but it is better than nothing.
Those who are more far-sighted among the twelve families have begun to use their brains. If they can open a school that only belongs to their own family and educate a group of professionals who belong to their own family and only serve their family, wouldn't it be so?
Can you be an entire era ahead of other families?
As long as they hire better teachers with high salaries and teach stronger professional managers, their industry will be stronger than others, and they will be able to get a bigger piece of the cake when they divide it.
In fact, this idea was not immediately put into practice, because Gotham's culture of relying on the weather has lasted for decades. Gotham people have no habit of educating or being educated, and their investment in education is almost zero.
I don't dare to take risks for a while.
But as this industrial model gradually develops, they will find that the root of everything lies in education. They will find that the large amount of money they currently spend on hiring foreign technical personnel would not be as effective if it were invested in cultivating local residents.
If you are directly related to yourself, you will gain not only professional and technical personnel, but also a lot of reputational benefits.
The strong men of the previous generation, including Falcone, have already seen the future from this model. The 21st century will be a century of talent cultivation. All competitions, to the end, will be to see who can cultivate more talents.
Stronger talents.
Once this relatively advanced model is introduced, those smart people who are limited by the times will quickly complete everything that follows. Therefore, it is not surprising that the old godfather Falcone was the first to take the lead.
I want to open a family school.
Of course, this school is not for civilians, but for the descendants of members of the Falcone family. They will learn a large number of elite courses here to better manage the resources of the Falcone family in the future.
Members of the Falcone family, of course, each want their children to enter this school, because once they enter this school, it means entering the godfather's sight. If they can achieve excellent results, they are likely to...
You will be assigned a better status and move higher and further.
The godfather's little move obviously cannot be hidden from other families. Although there are only seven students in this school so far, and the teaching location is only in a reception room in Falcone Manor, the other twelve families have learned nothing else in so many years.
, copy, and that’s it.
This battle between Gotham and China was proposed by Schiller, improved by Falcone, and jointly carried out by all the gangs in Gotham. The remarkable results in the early stages of implementation shocked everyone.
People's resistance to reform is not resistance to the part of the reform that can bring benefits to people, but resistance to overly drastic changes in the distribution of benefits and changes in lifestyles.
When a reform does not actually bring about any changes in people's way of life, the gangs are still gangs, no one wants to eradicate them, the twelve families are still the twelve families, no one wants to eliminate them, but everyone unites to use a small way to eradicate them.
If the investment is exchanged for the right to get a bigger share of the pie, then everyone will feel that reform is just a means to gain more benefits.
