Even if it will be developed sooner or later, waiting for three to five years is enough to make many people bankrupt. By then, a large amount of funds for purchasing land will be trapped, and the vampires in the bank will not be polite to them.
Therefore, even if it is known that the land will be developed in the future, the uncertain time and unpredictable price are enough to deter most people.
Unless the government clearly releases an urban development plan that clearly lists which areas will be developed and when, they will dare to make some short- and medium-term investments as appropriate when they have sufficient funds.
As for Chen Mo, who directly makes ultra-long-term investments that last for tens or hundreds of years, there will be no other people except Chen Mo, who has eternal life and has bad motives.
While businessmen throughout New York were laughing at Chen Mo, Chen Mo had quickly completed the acquisition of land outside of the current New York City area and adjacent areas to be developed.
In other words, in addition to downtown Manhattan in the future, midtown and uptown are already in the hands of Chen Mo.
You must know that with the development of the times, the old urban area of Lower Manhattan is far from meeting the development needs of New York, an international metropolis. The center of New York has gradually moved northward, and Midtown Manhattan has gradually become the center of Manhattan.
It is the most crowded and prosperous area in New York and has the highest density of skyscrapers in the world. New York landmarks such as the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center and world-famous office buildings are located here.
And the upper Manhattan area further north is the future residential area for the wealthy, and every inch of land is very valuable.
After buying half of Manhattan decades in advance, Chen Mo has already consumed nearly half of the gold in his hands. After all, he just kept a box of gold in his space for emergencies. He was able to buy half of Manhattan only because of the current land price.
It's cheap, and Chen Mo has a lot of space, and there's no need to worry about weight, so he can fill a big box full.
However, the gold brought by Chen Mo is limited after all. Future plans cannot rely solely on the gold in the space, otherwise sooner or later there will be nothing left. Chen Mo must start creating his own industry to provide sufficient funds for his future plans.
Therefore, after buying most of Manhattan, Chen Mo did not continue to enclose land around New York, but began to carry out commercial layout.
The first industrial revolution that started in Europe has spread to the United States. At this time, the industrial revolution is going on in the northern and central regions of the United States. The industry is developing rapidly. Industrial machinery powered by steam engines has been widely used in industrial production, textiles,
Population-intensive factory handicrafts such as clothing were gradually replaced by factories producing large machines.
However, Chen Mo did not go back to his old job and create a car manufacturing company, because at this time, let alone cars, even the internal combustion engine had no trace.
We are now in the late stage of the first industrial revolution. The core equipment of this industrial revolution is the steam engine. The first real internal combustion engine will not be manufactured until 1866, and the automobile will not appear until 1885.
As for using steam engines to make cars, due to the huge size of steam engines and the need to continuously add fuel, it is impossible to make cars that are too small, and the speed cannot be increased at all. It has no practical significance at all and has little market prospect.
And if it was built on a larger scale, it would be a steam-powered train.
However, although the first steam-powered train had been successfully manufactured as early as 1825, it was not until 1863 that the United States began construction of the first domestic railway, the Pacific Railway.
Although he has a large amount of advanced science and technology in his hands, Chen Mo does not intend to interfere too much in the development of American industry and technology.
Because once the technology in his hands is used, it will inevitably strengthen the United States' strength in all aspects.
The emergence of automobiles alone will greatly strengthen the transportation capabilities of the United States, and the chain effects it will bring are enough to have a huge impact on all walks of life, economy, military and other aspects.
Not to mention that Chen Mo also has a lot of other technologies in his hands. Even if he doesn't directly bring out too advanced technology, just advancing the appearance of some things, it will inevitably lead to huge changes in the national power of the United States, and then affect the future direction of the world.
If the change is too great, exceeding the ability to correct the plot, and the key plot he is waiting for cannot happen smoothly, then his purpose will not be achieved, and more than a hundred years of waiting will be wasted.
Therefore, Chen Mo will not significantly change history, especially in terms of technology, industry, military, etc., before he finally achieves his goal.
However, this does not mean that Chen Mo must be cautious, look forward and backward, and not be able to act with ease. Based on Chen Mo’s experience of traveling through so many times, the plot correction ability of the movie world itself is actually very strong.
Just like he made many changes in the world of "Captain America", the fates of Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D., Dr. Erskine, Howard Stark and even Captain America and Carter were completely rewritten, but in the end,
When Chen Mo returned again seventy years later, at least everything on the surface had been corrected by the plot. Of course, the changes made by Chen Mo still existed, but they did not affect the plot of "Iron Man".
This shows that the plot can be automatically corrected within a certain limit and try to advance according to the plot of the movie. However, if Chen Mo had killed Howard or castrated him, then the plot of "Iron Man" would never happen again.
Chen Mo’s goal in this world is Project
In terms of historical process, military technology development, etc., Chen Mo was not sure if he made too many changes, it would affect the development of the plot, or even directly cause Stryker to no longer appear.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Chen Mo decided not to intervene in American industry, technology, military, etc., to accelerate or slow down its development. However, this does not mean that Chen Mo will not do anything.
Chen Mo, who has a library in his brain, clearly knows every detail of the modern history of the United States, the time of each important technological invention, when something new was created, and many keys that represent huge opportunities.
Chen Mo knows everything at all times. If he wants to, he only needs to start a few days in advance to be one step ahead and take these opportunities into his own hands without having too much impact on the overall development.
