Chapter 1,629 Garbage Mountain

The air was filled with the stench of decay, and flies were buzzing and flying past the car in swarms.

Looking at the mountains of garbage piled up like pyramids around him, Li Zitao was curious about how they were transported out.

If Li Xiaobin hadn't led the way, he would never have imagined that there would be such a garbage transfer station deep in Chinatown.

"How is this place?" Li Xiaobin's mechanical and cold voice can always wake people up from their deep thoughts.

Lauren rolled up the car window, frowning and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to get rid of the smell here."

"Clean up the garbage, wash it with water and leave it empty for a few weeks, and it will no longer smell." Li Zitao pointed to this large garbage kingdom: "This is just enough."

"The outer wall can ensure privacy, cars can pass all the way to the door, and both sides are suitable for parking. There is no reason to refuse such a suitable place."

After hearing what he said, what else could Lauren say, she could only smile and nod and said: "I think so too. I believe it will get better after a small change."

"Then go talk to someone and see at what price you can rent or buy it." Li Zitao said easily.

"It's better to rent."

Lauren prefers to rent. To buy such a large piece of land is by no means a small sum given the land price in Manhattan.

Even in Chinatown, they are not buying from individuals or companies, but looking for government approval.

The conditions for the transfer of public land are very stringent, and no one wants to make mistakes or give opponents an excuse.

Therefore, it is impossible to buy at a low price.

For a super rich man like Li Zitao, this amount of money may not be as much as the cost of a luxurious dinner, but it must be a huge expense for DreamWorks.

Lauren is now the president of DreamWorks, and he doesn't want to invest too much money and energy in this matter before he is sure whether the plan can be implemented smoothly.

"Well, leasing is better." Li Zitao agreed, without disagreeing with Lauren.

Lauren is the president of DreamWorks. Before their opinions conflict or the other party makes a mistake, even if he is the boss, he must give the other party enough respect.

"Why don't we just go down and talk to someone?" Li Xiaobin pointed to the iron house among the garbage mountains.

Parking the car next to the garbage mountain, the road in front was covered with bottles and cans of various materials, including several worn-out gas cans and broken glass stubble.

"Are you sure someone lives here?" Stepping on the rubbish everywhere, Lauren's patience was about to reach its limit.

He was not the son of a wealthy family. When he was young, they lived in an abandoned house for a long time.

There are also bridges and parks, which were once his familiar homes. ’

But even so, the conditions were many times better than what he saw in front of him. Lauren couldn't believe that there would be people living in the iron house full of oil stains and holes.

In fact, just as he guessed, there was no one in the tin house.

The smell here is so bad and the conditions are so bad that even homeless people are unwilling to stay for a long time. How could anyone from the government stay here?

"It seems we have to go to the city hall." Li Zitao said, covering his mouth with a handkerchief.

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the car. The smell here was so strong that he would vomit out all the soup dumplings he had eaten in the morning.

"Go around the outside." After leaving the smelly garbage dump, Li Zitao asked the other party to drive around and then said, "I've seen the place, what do you think?"

"Nobody wants to do anything on a piece of trash."

Lauren is basically satisfied. The only worry is that the smell of garbage seeps into the ground and takes a long time to dissipate.

"Find someone to find a way. There must be a way to make it disappear quickly." Li Zitao didn't think this would be a problem.

If it doesn't work, pour a layer of new soil on top and spread a layer of turf. I don't believe that this can't cover up the original smell.

"Don't care so much." Li Xiaobin said funnyly: "The place you live now might have been a mass grave or a public toilet for wild animals."

Lauren said speechlessly: "This is not funny at all."

"I think it's quite funny." Li Zitao laughed and said, "When this island still belonged to the Indians, who knew what happened on it."

"Compared to New York, New Amsterdam sounds more pleasant to the ear." It seems that Li Xiaobin has done some research on the history of New York.

New Amsterdam was the new name the Dutch gave it when they bought Manhattan from the natives for 24 guilders.

Later, the British army invaded the border, and the Dutch were forced to make a "covenant under the city," and it changed from New Amsterdam to today's New York.

The literal translation should be New York. At that time, the capital of England was named York, so it was more appropriate to name it after New York.

"24 Dutch guilders, tsk tsk..." Living in Manhattan, mentioning this number always gives people a sense of absurdity and confusion.

Although it was just a symbolic transaction, an island was sold for 24 guilders. What on earth were the native Indians thinking?

"Go and talk to the city hall." Li Zitao handed over the work to Lauren, just as he handed over his rights and respect to him.

"No problem, I know the operator in the mayor's office." Lauren said, spreading her hands.

The two of them looked at him with strange eyes at the same time, and Lauren asked curiously, "What? I do know her, her name is Darcy."

"Good luck!" Li Zitao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Also, I want to remind you, don't just fool around in bed."

"Hey!" Lauren yelled, "We're just friends, we've met once or twice."

As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed first: "Well, we just had a meal once or twice, and then drank some wine... You know, everyone needs to relax sometimes."

"Man, no one is accusing you of anything." Li Xiaobin signaled that he didn't need to explain: "He was just reminding you not to forget about business."

Lauren was speechless and smiled bitterly. Fortunately, his little lover was very considerate, which may have a lot to do with his generous spending.

After making an appointment to meet at dinner, Lauren left alone, while Li Zitao stayed at the hotel to prepare for dinner.

Not only himself, but also Mary, Aiden and Pearl were called over.

"Aiden." The fragrant roasted pigeon was placed on the table, and Li Xiaobin asked casually, "Do you still have plans to join the army?"

"Yeah." Aiden was currently focusing on the roasted suckling pig on his plate. These pig skins tasted so delicious, "But we have to wait a little longer."

"What branch of the military are you planning to join?" Li Zitao also wanted to hear his thoughts.

"Navy." Aiden wiped off the oil on his hands, wiped off the meat residue on the corner of his sister Pearl's mouth, and said with a smile; "Even in modern warfare, the navy is still the most important member."

"Then you have to be careful." Li Xiaobin smiled pointedly.
