Chapter 1667: This Cake Cannot Be Touched

Across the Hudson River Bridge is Manhattan. One-third of the area in Manhattan has been reduced to ruins, which has attracted many people with a keen sense of smell to come and make money.

Those who dared to take action in such a short time all had thick bank checks in their pockets. At the same time, they represented different enterprises, companies, or groups. Of course, their goals were the same.

After Manhattan was attacked by mechanical monsters, the wealthy people at home and abroad who owned real estate and property here began to sell their land and the power of real estate in ruins at low prices. These are the focus of everyone's attention.

The land and property prices in Manhattan fell to the bottom within 12 hours, and they continued to fall, so that they were comparable to cabbage prices two days later.

To be honest, as one of the global financial centers, it is unimaginable that the land and property prices here in Manhattan are so low, but considering the worry that the aliens will attack again in the future, Manhattan has become a place full of unsafe factors, so it is not surprising that the land price has fallen so much.

Who made this place so dangerous?

There are even rumors that the congressmen in Washington have begun to discuss whether to move Wall Street and other institutions to other places instead of rebuilding them in Manhattan.

After all, Manhattan is so dangerous now.

And many cities in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Texas also have very good places to support Wall Street to move there.

Once this is true, Manhattan will immediately lose its original value.

Although this is just a rumor, many people choose to believe it.

In particular, the attack of the mechanical monster army has caused a large number of casualties and property losses in Manhattan, so that people are now panicking, so everyone is holding an attitude of believing it is true, and began to sell their real estate and land in large quantities, and even more so, they are determined to leave this ghost place.

And in this situation, it is inevitable that some people with sufficient financial resources and vision will see opportunities.

Of course, it is impossible for small players to enter the market. Those who can play here in Manhattan are basically big players. Small players do not even have any qualifications, and they can't even pass the bridge guarded by the army and the long warning zone set up in the north.

Anyone who can enter Manhattan, which is now a ruin, with a certificate issued by Washington, will find that it is not easy to check the background of the person.

However, no matter how complicated the background of these guys is, they can't run rampant in Manhattan.

Because the most active group in Manhattan is the "gangster" force headed by Hilda, and they tightly control the area around Midtown Manhattan. No matter who you are, you can't stand here, let alone acquire the land in this area.

After all, before the mechanical monster launched the attack, the land price in Midtown was the most expensive, and the people living here were either rich or noble. It was adjacent to Central Park, and the geographical location and environment were very good, so this area was the most valuable.

Compared with the downtown area where Wall Street is located, it is not as good as this side of Midtown, so Hilda must of course keep a close eye on the most valuable.

The liquid metal robot turned into a vicious Italian thug, and expelled all the real estate brokers wandering in Midtown and Downtown in various ways and means, and drove these guys to the upper city area near the former Columbia University.

Therefore, a large number of brokers representing other interests have temporarily settled in the ruined Columbia University. Wherever you look, you can see tents in large areas. These guys have formed a large camping community.

The buildings in Manhattan were severely damaged. Among the few buildings that were well preserved was the Whiston Apartment Building, so Hilda and her friends did not have to camp in the ruins like those brokers.

Although the upper, middle and lower areas of Manhattan were severely damaged, the water, electricity and gas in the Whiston Building were not cut off, so it did not affect Hilda and her friends' quality of life. Compared with those camping brokers, this life is much more comfortable.

The Irish broker Charleston is a very courageous guy. He does not want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune because of his cowardice, so he decided to take the risk.

Although those vicious Italian mafia thugs have warned him and other colleagues, Charleston does not really take it seriously.

Manhattan is so big, how many mafia members are there?

He didn't believe that these guys could monitor him 24 hours a day, so there would always be loopholes for him to exploit.

What's more, he could contact those who hold rights through telephone calls, and then obtain Manhattan land from them.

You know, in this disaster, many people's families died in the attack, so their relatives in other places inherited everything in Manhattan, so as long as they can contact these people, they can also achieve their goals.

You know, these brokers are not one person, they have their own teams behind them, and everyone is working in a division of labor.

Chalexton was responsible for entering Manhattan to survey the size of the plot, while his companions were doing other related matters on the periphery. There is no doubt that the power of a team activity is greater than that of an individual.

Therefore, Chalexton got in touch with his companions and began to act secretly.

He didn't believe that those vicious mafia thugs could even know such a thing.

"That gentleman's asking price is already very low, but I think it can be lowered. To be honest, his brother's family died in this disaster. Because he was the only relative, he inherited all his brother's property, and Of course, getting this wealth out of thin air will make him less cherish it. After all, he didn’t earn it with his own hard work. Plus, there are uncertainties here in Manhattan, so I can lower the price. "

Chalexton's companion said on the phone.

What they were interested in was a private plot of land near Central Park. It turned out that there was a six-story private residence on this plot of land covering an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. Not only was it a strategic location, it also had great economic value.

Compared to the land near Columbia University, this land is obviously more worth selling.

Although there are rumors that Washington intends to move Wall Street elsewhere, Chalexton, who has special information channels, knows very well that this is just a smoke bomb deliberately released by some upper-class people in order to obtain land in Manhattan at a low price. .

In fact, Manhattan will definitely be rebuilt, and Wall Street will not leave here. Washington must use this method to show the world its determination and courage, and at the same time, use this method to tell everyone that its country will not be defeated like this.

As for the unknown when the next attack will occur, Washington also has a solution for this, which is to set up a dimensional space here in Washington. Once attacked again, those terrible alien mechanical life forms will not immediately attack. When arriving in Manhattan, you will first enter that dimensional space.

When the time comes, that's where the battle will break out.

Only after defeating the official powerful legion stationed there can those alien mechanical lifeforms come to Manhattan.

The official army stationed in that dimension is composed of powerful mutants, alien lifeforms that have settled on the earth, and various aliens.

With these people and the dimensional defense space, wouldn't it be normal for Manhattan to regain its original vitality in the near future?

Land prices will recover by then, and now that you have purchased it at a low price, you can wait to make big money.

Of course, most of them were transferred away by the big guys behind him, but it was good to have a sip of soup as a little shrimp.

Chalexton, who was holding the phone with a smile on his face, suddenly froze before the smile bloomed for a long time.

The companion on the other end of the phone seemed to be being beaten. The dull sound of someone being beaten was constantly coming into the eardrum, as well as the painful moans from a familiar voice, which made Chalexton feel a little nervous. Something's not quite right.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

In a private house in a small county town in West Irvington, Manhattan, Chalexton's colleague was being beaten by three tough men. He was beaten so badly that his nose and face were bruised and he looked quite miserable.

Next to them, there was a family of three who, under the intimidation of several men with evil looks, watched the tragic scene unfolding in front of them.

"Mr. Charlie, you should know our purpose. To be honest, we have no objection to the land you inherited. After all, that place is too dangerous, and it is not worth much money now, but you must know The only thing is that such a transaction can only be done with us and not with anyone else."

The male head of the family of three nodded hurriedly, his face and eyes full of fear and uneasiness.

There was nothing they could do. In front of them, the guy who came to the door and said he wanted to acquire land had been beaten into shape.

As an honest ordinary person, Charlie is just a small citizen. He has never seen such a scene, so this made him feel very scared.

Moreover, these serious-faced, muscular guys who were not easy to mess with at first sight also made him tremble from the depths of his soul.

So, in such an atmosphere, what can he do?

Gaba!

The unlucky guy's calf was severely beaten, and the sound of the calf bone breaking made the family of three's hearts beat faster, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"One dollar! As long as we sign the transaction contract now for just one dollar, the land in Manhattan is yours, sir!"

The big man glanced at his companion, and then the unfortunate guy with a broken calf was dragged out.

"Mr. Charlie, you must understand that this transaction is fair and you are willing to do so."

"I know, I know, please don't worry about this."

And the same scene like this is happening in different places...rw
