Bludhaven is a small city on the east coast not far from Gotham. It is also located on the coast. It has a completely different climate from Gotham. It can even be said to be completely opposite. It is sunny all year round, with sunshine duration and intensity.
, also ranked among the best among all cities on the east coast.
Originally, this place could be developed into a very good tourist city, but because its land area is relatively small, there are many hills and mountains around it, the coastline is not long enough, and there are not enough supporting facilities in the city, it cannot meet the needs of a large number of tourists.
If it were closer to the metropolis, it might have been developed long ago, because if it is within half an hour's drive from the metropolis, then tourists can completely enter the metropolis and solve some accommodation and food needs.
However, no tourist would be brave enough to go deep into Gotham to stay, and tourists come to the seaside city because they want to bask in the sun on the beach. The rainy weather in Gotham will ruin their good mood for the day.
Therefore, Bludhaven's development has been tepid.
However, since Mayor Luo Yin of Gotham City spoke on the phone, people's prejudice against Gotham has been partially improved. That is, the high crime rate and chaos here are actually caused by the government's inaction, and there are also many curious backpackers.
They wanted to come here to observe, and their final destination was Bludhaven.
In addition, the development of Gotham's logistics industry has led to a surge in the number of employees. Many people who want to come here to try their luck in finding a job will choose Bludhaven as an outpost, because it only takes 20 minutes to drive to Gotham. If Gotham's
If life cannot satisfy them, they can just turn around and leave.
After all, the prices and rents in Gotham are no joke. Although the people here are bad, they are not poor. In other words, in the circulation system of Gotham City, they are poor, but if they are taken out, they will not be poor.
It can be regarded as a subsistence class.
A comparison can be made. Generally speaking, the ordinary gangsters who guard the door of nightclubs in Gotham belong to a relatively low-income group in Gotham, but if they come to Bludhaven, they will become
A representative of a well-off life.
Some people may ask, wouldn't it be good for them to live in Blüdhaven? Why bother fighting and killing among gangs?
But not only are they gangsters, their fathers, mothers, grandparents, and grandparents are all gangsters. All their interpersonal relationships are maintained in this system. It is difficult to make changes. If the gang leader does not agree, they will not be able to escape.
, otherwise, the shark’s next meal will be there.
In addition, the good income of Gotham gangsters is not because they have the skills to survive or have a good educational background. The gangsters have not read many books and have no skills. After they leave the Gotham system, they will not be able to return.
Find a job with such a high salary.
This is a problem that every resident in a high-income, high-price area will encounter when moving to a low-income, low-price area. They want to obtain low prices with high wages, but low-price areas often do not have high wages.
Moreover, supporting facilities are insufficient, so they would rather endure such high prices than move to low-price areas.
This is also the reason why Bludhaven, as a neighboring city to Gotham, has a very good public security situation.
To put it bluntly, Gotham residents don’t like this place at all. If you work hard here for a month, you may not earn as much as working for the gang in Gotham for a week. Even if the prices in Bludhaven are low, the supplies are relatively expensive.
, you have to go to Gotham to buy some things, so why not just live in Gotham? At least the locals are familiar with the roads, and it's safer.
Many backpackers who come to Blüdhaven comment that it is the paradise closest to hell. Whether it is climate, scenery, or humanities, Blüdhaven is not inferior to those tourist cities on the east coast.
Similarly, unlike a bustling metropolis like Brothertan, Blüdhaven is a small town with a slower pace of life and everyone is very leisurely. This is also thanks to the abundant fishing on the east coast.
The industrial structure here is also dominated by fishery terminals, seafood processing, export and logistics industries. There are three terminals in the entire town. Except for one of them, which is relatively large because it was built relatively late, the other two are
It was established by Europeans during the colonial period and is now relatively old.
"Sir, you may not have heard of this pier. It broke down about three or four years ago. The mayor said there was no need to repair it, and then he changed it into a fishing pier." A man wearing overalls said
, the little boy wearing a fisherman's hat ran to the wooden platform of the pier with a "click, click, click", pointed in front and said to Schiller behind him.
"Look, have you seen those small boats? They are experience boats specially prepared for tourists. Tourists can go there to experience shallow sea fishing. The fishermen who row the boats will teach them the most basic shallow sea fishing skills. They can use fishing rods.
You can also try fishing nets.”
"For only five dollars, you can take away one of the fattest fish. If you are willing to give me another fifty cents, I will take you to the restaurant next door. The boss there makes great fish soup and fish soup.
.”
"The price of five dollars is too expensive. I don't like eating fish very much. Of course, if it can be cheaper, I would like to try it." Schiller also walked up to the wooden platform of the pier and looked into the distance, looking at the fish again and again.
A fishing boat, I have to admit, it is quite unique.
Generally speaking, the cost of fishing in the sea is quite high. At least most vacationing families cannot afford to rent a fishing boat, which is something only rich people can play.
This tourism project launched by Blüdhaven is a bit like a simple beggar’s version. The fishing boat is an ordinary wooden boat with a motor. The fishermen on the boat are local fishermen. They use this kind of boat to catch fish for a lifetime, and the fishing nets they use are also small.
It's not high-end goods, some of them are a bit tattered.
But what can be seen is that almost every fishing boat is carrying tourists, and they are having a lot of fun. Even though the speed of this fishing boat is far from being called trawling, and the netting depends entirely on luck.
There weren't many fish down there, but most tourists, especially those with families, had a great time.
Schiller began to admire the wisdom of Mayor Blüdhaven. You must know that in this era, most of the tourism industry is prepared for the rich. Many tourist cities have not yet changed their minds, and the projects provided are not close enough to the people.
.
In most seaside tourist cities, apart from the free use of the beach, there are high fees for any activities in the sea, such as sea fishing, diving, etc.
"Okay, sir, three dollars, okay?"
"The most I can offer is two dollars and fifty cents. Of course I can give you an extra fifty cents as a tip and treat you as a treat." Schiller smiled, reached out and patted the little tour guide boy on the shoulder, and said: "
Go find me a boat."
The little boy cheered and ran down the pier to the beach. After a while, he found a boat for Schiller. He ran to Schiller and showed off: "Sir, I bet that no one will
Like me, you can find a boat that suits your needs!"
"You said before that you are a university professor, so you should be able to talk to young people better, but most of the fishermen here are very old. Sometimes, I also have a headache because of their stubborn temper. I'm afraid that you can't talk to them.
Come, so, I found the only younger fisherman here..."
"Come here, Viking. This is Professor Rodriguez. My new client is a very generous university professor. He wants to experience riding on your fishing boat and get him a good fish. I'll treat you to dinner later.
"
As soon as Schiller turned his head, he saw the person the little boy was calling. His upper body was naked and he was wearing a pair of shorts on his lower body, revealing a toned body like a statue. His hair was golden and his sideburns were very long, until they were close to him.
The beard on the corner of the jaw is connected, but there is no beard on the chin, which looks wild and wild.
He first looked at Schiller with his eagle-like eyes, then moved his body to the side, leaving a space for Schiller, pointed to his ship, and said, "Come on."
Schiller looked down at his feet. At this time, he was still standing on the beach, and the fishing boat was floating on the sea. It was now at least three meters away from him. He opened his mouth and then asked: "How to get on?"
The little tour guide boy next to him slapped his forehead and shouted to the man: "Why did you forget again?! Where's the ladder for connecting? You didn't follow the rules for treating tourists that old Wilander told you before.
forget?"
As if he had just remembered, the man on the boat took a plank from the ship. After anchoring the ship, he put the plank down, and Schiller walked up the plank.
Schiller turned around and waved to the little boy who was the tour guide. He felt the boat under his feet began to shake. The blond man seemed a little silent. Schiller walked to the side of the boat curiously, and then the man said in a buzzing voice.
: "Don't stare at the sea all the time, you'll get seasick."
Schiller slowly looked away and asked him: "I heard from my tour guide that your name is Viking? This should be your nickname, right?"
"Yes, but I don't like it very much. I'm not a pirate." The Viking walked to the cabin and started to organize the tools. He asked: "Do you want to use a fishing rod or a trawl net?"
"Let's fish first. Can you help me find a good fishing spot?" Schiller said. The Viking squatted down and began to arrange the fishing lines and fishing rods. While doing so, he said: "You're not here."
At that time, there were more people now, and the good fishing spots were all occupied. I know a few other good fishing spots..."
"Oh, I know, if my catch today is not bad, I will be happy to tip half as much." Schiller walked up and squatted down, looking at the fishing rods of different lengths and said.
"No, I'm not asking for a tip. I just want to say that those fishing spots are more troublesome and may require you to have better fishing skills."
The Vikings began to arrange the fishing line, but Schiller stood up and looked at the sea. Just as the Vikings said, almost all the places on the sea are now occupied by fishing boats, and the place where the Vikings are moving now
Direction, there is no ship.
"My fishing skills are not great, but they are not terrible either. We can go over and try. If we really can't catch anything, forget it. I don't like fish much anyway." Schiller shrugged, appearing to be very talkative.
, but the Viking looked up at him in surprise, and the Viking asked proactively:
"Are you a university professor? Which university do you teach at?"
"Gotham University."
The fishing line in the Viking's hand turned into a tangled mess.
