Chapter 748: Hard-Pressed Middle Class

After the road repair plan was finalized, Bechtel's people began to enter the venue, accompanied by eight Wranglers from S.H.I.E.L.D.

There were no heavy machine guns on it, no fanfare or warning horns.

Special Guard had a semi-automatic weapon on his chest, and every day a few cars drove around the city a few times, and everything seemed calm.

Road construction must be done section by section, and it is impossible to complete all repairs at one time. Jonathan and Tranny have also started their own reconstruction plans.

Tranny knocked down three old buildings from the 19th century, red brick buildings with a total height of 7 meters.

He's going to build mid-range apartments so quickly, but this time instead of renting, he's selling them.

Although renting seems to be stable and steady, it will consume a lot of energy and time, and management, aftermath, and service must keep up.

If something happened to the apartment, he would be easily involved, and it would not be conducive to the return of funds, so this time he decided to sell the quick return of funds and invest in development.

Jonathan's first consideration here is naturally the issue of the hotel. The Hilton-Waldorf Astoria Hotel after the merger will be located on top of this 'crime' ruin.

"The layout of public facilities should also be accelerated. The garden turntable in the center of the cross where the main roads of West Midtown meet, I hope it will remind everyone of this place."

The degree of perfection of public facilities is also the standard for measuring an area, just like the "complete supporting facilities" mentioned in the previous life is the same concept.

However, most of the so-called complete supporting facilities in previous lives were used by developers to cheat their fathers. Either the price broke through the sky, or they waited for more than ten years to finally improve.

Li Zitao didn't intend to fool anyone, the public facilities in West Midtown would at least reach the level of Midtown Manhattan.

From the very beginning, the reconstruction standard of West Midtown was done according to Midtown.

Jonathan and Tranny also supported his idea. Manhattan Island is so big, but it gathers the wealthiest people and families in New York.

Money is not an issue as long as it satisfies them.

Moreover, the national economy continues to recover, and as people have money in their hands, their requirements and standards for the quality of life will become higher and higher.

"Let Ace expand the generator set, and I will win for him the public electricity in West Midtown." The electricity consumption of public facilities seems to be at a loss, but there are double subsidies from the federal and state, and they can also enjoy tax cuts. Not only is it a big profit.

Otherwise, the really rich and beautiful people are great philanthropists, and they are enthusiastic about public works such as public construction, forest protection, and animal protection every day.

Because these industries can not only bring them a positive reputation, but also have practical benefits.

Just like the medical reform implemented by Ohei Niu in the future, about 46 million people in the United States could not afford medical insurance at that time, and only the rich were covered by medical insurance.

However, the giants want to make money, and they make money from the rich, but what should the poor do if they have no money?

So, the giants thought of a way to let the government pay for it.

The entire medical reform has invested more than 700 billion U.S. dollars to build thousands of community medical centers, reduce medical insurance costs, eliminate "non-insured areas," and protect the health of the elderly.

The common people get real benefits, the Ao Hei Niu has improved his political achievements, the giants have more sources of income, and they can also get praise from the poor and tax cuts.

So who suffers in the end?

Those who suffer are those honest middle-class people who work hard every year, live seriously, and pay taxes in full.

Why does Lao Mei himself say that the middle class in the United States is getting smaller and smaller, and the generalization is getting wider and wider?

Originally, the classes in America were the poor, ordinary, middle class, rich, and plutocrats, consisting of these five classes.

In the end, the government kept sucking blood from the middle class, using the middle class to nourish the government and the common people, and slowly divided the rich into the "middle class".

Because they found that the number of middle class is gradually decreasing, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

Later, ordinary families were also included in the "middle class." There will only be three classes in the United States in the future, the poor, the middle class, and the rich.

If I have to describe it,

The middle class is like the beef cattle that are raised, the poor are the blood-sucking fleas on them, and the rich are the farmers who raise them.

While being generous to others, they sharpened their knives and slaughtered the fat beef cattle, making their mouths full of oil, and the 'fleas' were grateful for it.

The most difficult life in the United States will never be the poor and the rich, but this group of fat sheep who are sucked to be slaughtered. They are also the main force of protest and complaints.

When Ao Hei Niu promoted the medical reform, the biggest resistance came from them, and the giants were the ones pushing it.

Otherwise, with the power of Ao Hei Niu, do you really think he can accomplish what many presidents wanted to do but failed to do?

Now, Li Zitao has the same thing to do.

It seems that he will invest at least no less than $20 million in public facilities in West Midtown, but the benefits far exceed this expenditure.

First, tax cuts, positive public image and evaluation.

Second, public energy and transportation will be handled by his company, Ace.

Third, cash subsidies from the federal government.

Fourth, improve the overall image of West Midtown, and increase the valuation of renovation projects.

Fifth, stimulate the local economic development speed and the value of land and real estate.

sixth...

If you think about it carefully, there are not too many benefits. More importantly, he plans to reserve a piece of land here for himself and build a super apartment in the future.

If the surrounding public facilities are not complete enough, wouldn't it be trouble for yourself.

The super apartment is built on the main road of 50th Street, like the top luxury apartment in Manhattan at 610 Lexington.

It's just that the whole building belongs to their family from top to bottom.

In my previous life, I saw the richest man in India on the Internet. A family of five lived in a 60-story building, but only built a 27-story building with more than 600 servants.

Li Zitao was so envious at that time, he also wondered how cool it would be if he could live in it, whether he would be so excited that he couldn't close his eyes for a week.

Dream Castle has realized his castle dream, and has 600 servants, but the future dream has not yet been realized.

Is it useful to build so many houses?

Of course it is useful, no matter how good the house is, there will be a day when you get tired of living in it, and you will feel fresh when you change the house.

Besides, if you have money, you can do whatever you want.

If you get tired of living in it when you get old, you can renovate the exterior and interior, or blast and rebuild it, and you can sell it for a sky-high price immediately.

In the future, the top luxury apartments on Manhattan Island will be sold at a sky-high price of 18-49 million dollars for a single set.

Live for decades for nothing, and earn hundreds of times in the end. Is there anything more enjoyable than this?

"Boss, your family wants to go out for a walk, do you want to arrange it?" Just as she was about to end her meeting with Bechtel, Ava walked in with bright red high heels.
