Chapter 737 West Midtown Progress

The banquet lasted until 3 o'clock in the morning, and all the guests were arranged in the main castle and the auxiliary building, where there were enough rooms for the guests to use.

But Li Zitao did not go to the room to rest, but brought Jonathan and Tranny to the private conversation room.

"Anything else to drink?" After sitting down, Li Zitao looked at the two and asked.

"No, let's talk about business." Jonathan shook his head, he was almost drunk.

"Three cups of hot tea." He said to the maid at the door, and the door was gently closed.

"Charlie, we have taken 82% of the land in Hell's Kitchen. Those apartments that cannot be checked are too troublesome." Tranny said with a headache.

If it weren't for those apartments that couldn't find their owners, Hell's Kitchen should be in their hands now.

"Being more patient will pay off. It's not you who should be angry." Li Zitao smiled and lit a cigar.

"That's right, Tranny, you should learn how to can." Jonathan said as if biting his tongue.

"It's Zen, you should find a good teacher." Jonathan didn't know when he fell in love with Zen, and he liked to meditate even when he had nothing to do.

It is unknown whether Li Zitao felt that strange situation, but his spirit is indeed good.

"Don't worry about what can be said...Damn it, I want another drink." Tranny rubbed his head, these two rich and powerful, he is not like this.

For this old city reconstruction plan, he has taken on a lot of bank loans. Now when he opens his eyes every morning, he needs to calculate how much interest has been raised.

"We should ask SSA and USCIS to help. Find the last person to register, maybe it will help." As the maid brought the tea in, Li Zitao put down his cigar and sipped the hot black tea.

"That's a good notice." Jonathan nodded.

SSA, social security card, is part of Roosevelt's New Deal, the original intention is to track tax information and investigate tax evasion.

Since its implementation in November last year, 25 million sets have been issued so far.

SSA people run all over the streets of New York, and most people in New York City have their own SSN (Social Security Number).

These cards recorded their previous residence, current residence address and all important information in detail, and they must have a lot of information.

USCIS is the Immigration Service.

90% of the people living in Hell's Kitchen are immigrants from other countries, and maybe we can find a breakthrough from them.

"How do you think about road construction?" Li Zitao first proposed road construction, and both Jonathan and Tranny expressed that they needed to consider it.

"Charlie, maybe we can wait until the construction is completed before repairing the road." Jonathan said hesitantly.

His financial pressure is not small at all. The cooperation between Waldorf Astoria and Hilton has taken up a lot of his cash flow.

The land price on Manhattan Island is now $680,000 per acre. Fortunately, this is Hell's Kitchen, which only costs $220,000 per acre.

Even so, it took up nearly 50 million US dollars in cash, and the subsequent investment transformation was still a bottomless pit.

Soon he will learn from Tranny, get the land in his hands and go to the bank for a loan, and bear a large amount of interest to complete the plan.

As long as there are some problems in this, Jonathan may not be able to afford it. If he hadn't succeeded in attracting Li Zitao, he might not have the confidence to continue.

"In this way... I can fully pay the money for road construction, and I will return it to me in proportion later, okay?" Li Zitao looked at the two of them.

In fact, there is not much money for road construction. For others, it is difficult to mobilize tens of millions of funds, but for him, it is just a matter of phone calls.

It just so happens that the profits of the companies are good this year, and after the dividends, he still has a lot of balance, and then borrows a few sums from Wells Fargo to engage in debts, saving the mad dogs of the IRS from coming to his door.

If there are still problems with such conditions, then he really needs to think carefully about whether he should invest money in the reconstruction now.

"Okay, I agree." Jonathan nodded.

"I agree too." Tranny replied very simply.

Now Li Zitao's biggest project, besides secretly supporting Spain and Ethiopia, is the renovation project of Hell's Kitchen on Manhattan Island.

If this project is done well, it will be able to earn tens of billions of dollars a year just by collecting rent in the future, and the Li family's foundation will be considered solid.

Li Zitao did not plan to hand over this property to anyone, but planned to re-establish the foundation and hand it over to the foundation to take care of it.

Charitable investment of 5% of the annual proceeds is a drop in the bucket for it.

The reputation of Dewey Union College is getting better and better, and Li Zitao wants to tie the new foundation with it.

The Lee Higher Education Bursary Fund supports fresh graduates from Dewey Union College to study in better colleges and universities.

But this plan will have to wait, at least until the construction of West Midtown officially starts.

In the dead of night, Li Zitao returned to the room with light steps. His wife had already fallen into a deep sleep. He took off his pajamas and went to bed, and fell asleep peacefully with his arms around him.

The next day, Li Zitao got up at dawn as usual.

First, he swam twice in the suspended swimming pool behind the castle, and Li Zitao sat on the front edge of the eaves that looked like a 'collision angle' and closed his eyes to meditate.

After half an hour, Li Zitao went to the fitness room, "thump, bang, bang" for 40 minutes, and then went to the yard to punch a set before heading to the restaurant for dinner.

Two little guys, Aiden and Mason, are fighting for food. Three and a half years old are lively, active and full of rebellion.

According to the survey of later generations, there are three stages of rebellion in a child's life, the first is 3 years old, the second is around 7 years old, and the third is puberty.

The old man said; three-year-olds look old, and seven-year-olds look old. This is the truth.

Seeing that someone came in, the two little guys sat down in a hurry, and when they found out that it was their father, they rejoined the battle.

I am afraid that he is the father who is the least dignified at home, because Li Zitao is always the most 'tolerant' one because he spends little time with his children.

Mary is strict enough with them, and someone has to be a red face.

"Do you two want to swim?" Looking at the food the servant put in front of him, Li Zitao smiled and said "Thank you," asking about the arrangement of the two little guys.

"Think." Aiden and Mason raised their hands excitedly.

But before the two of them finished their excitement, a middle-aged man in a tuxedo with a meticulous expression walked outside the door.

Bowing to Li Zitao to salute, the visitor said softly with no expression on his face; "Aiden, Mason, you still have 3 minutes for breakfast."

The person who came was the etiquette teacher of the two little guys. Hearing his words, the little guys looked at each other in dismay, and looked at their father for help.

Li Zitao shrugged his shoulders helplessly, seeing the little guy speeding up, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Rules must be developed from an early age. When you indulge him with "the child is still young", it is the first step to destroy his future.

The concept of time and keeping promises are essential qualities for any successful person.
