Chapter 1670: Electricity Is Available, but Where Is Running Water?
For the purpose of bidding, Washington specially found a five-star hotel and asked the hotel to arrange a spacious banquet hall to hold the bidding.
Although the bidding this time attracted a lot of people, there were actually not as many groups qualified to participate in the bidding as imagined.
After all, some minor characters have long been excluded. Assets of 500 million and having garbage recycling and processing qualifications have blocked many people from the bidding meeting. They can only watch the big cake and drool.
Of course, some large groups that are not qualified for garbage recycling will reach an agreement with those who are qualified, and everyone will join forces to participate in the bidding.
The East Coast groups used this approach.
In the same way, Hilda also used this method to unite Stark Industries, Osborne Biotechnology, fast food chains, CNN Media IT Network, and some people hidden behind them.
Everyone knows this well and will not reveal it.
After all, no one is clean.
The bidding will be a secret bidding method, and before the bidding begins, several politicians talk a lot of nonsense, nothing more than feeling sorry for the people who died in Manhattan.
The people who entered the bidding venue below were all hypocritical and had sad expressions on their faces, including Hilda and Tony Stark.
But in fact, whether these people with sad faces really feel sad for the people who died in Manhattan is a matter of opinion.
Anyway, before entering the theme, this cutscene is a must. Everyone seems to be used to it, and they don't show any impatience. Everyone's acting skills are quite good.
As the several invited politicians finished their chattering, the banquet hall finally entered the theme, and the previous sad expressions on the faces of the people present also faded away, replaced by faint excitement.
Everyone is very concerned about who will end up with that piece of cake in Manhattan.
At the same time, everyone also hopes that they can get lucky and become the winner in the end.
The bidding for the Manhattan rubble cleanup was divided into dozens of areas. Everyone knew that the bidding in the Harlem area would not be too fierce. Only the bidding for the regional land parcels in the Midtown area and downtown Wall Street would be the most fierce.
The first place to start bidding is an area in Harlem, which is located outside Columbia University. It covers an area of about three blocks and has a three-month deadline to clear it.
At the same time, it is stipulated that the person responsible for clearing rubble and garbage in this area also has the rights to rebuild the buildings in this area.
Yes, there is a time limit for garbage removal, so everyone needs to consider their own abilities and make a judgment before bidding.
If he fails to complete the task when the time is up, he will be severely punished, and may even be punished until he loses his fortune.
Since the bidding is conducted using a hidden bid, those who are interested in this land business will pick up the letter paper in front of them and write down their quotation and bidding number, stuff it into an envelope and hand it to the staff.
The person with the lowest final bid will win the business in this area.
As everyone expected, there were not many people competing for this land in Harlem. Although the rubble removal business was profitable, everyone was still eyeing a better place.
"It seems that the people on the east coast are behind the scenes. Whoever can win those areas will automatically be eligible for regional reconstruction. I guess they also feel that they are bound to win."
Tony whispered his judgment to Hilda beside him.
Hearing this, Hilda just smiled faintly and responded in a low voice: "They think too much. Don't say whether they can win those areas in the end. Even if we don't fight against them, I can guarantee that they will win in the end." There is no way to start work.”
Hearing what Hilda said, Tony had a wicked smile on his face.
"I know those Sicilian gangsters,
It definitely has something to do with you, but I won't pry or anything, as long as you have such confidence. But I need to remind you that these guys, like me, have private armed forces equipped with powerful firepower. "
"Yes, those Sicilian gangsters are all subordinates of my lady. The gang forces in the entire New York area are under our control. It is no exaggeration to say that I have the ability to make them lose a hair."
"Keke, this little guy, always surprises people. When did she get involved in the underworld? If I remember correctly, the little guy is almost three years old."
"He will be three years old in two months. This incident happened this summer because the five major families in New York were involved with Hydra and hired a notorious killer to organize the Hand to harm the young lady, so the young lady At that time, he overthrew the five major families in New York, severely damaged the New York branch of the Hand, and attacked the Hydra organization again. In that incident, he also had a very unhappy relationship with Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
Tony really didn't know about Coco's stay in New York. Now that he heard what Hilda said, Tony couldn't even imagine that this was done by a girl less than three years old.
However, Fury doesn't like Coco very much, and Tony has heard about it in S.H.I.E.L.D.
According to Thor, the reason why Fury doesn't like Coco is because Coco, a little girl with great power, is not under the control of SHIELD, especially under the control of Fury.
In fact, Tony is not very fond of Fury's desire for control.
But because Tony is quite patriotic, he finally reluctantly joined SHIELD, used his own technology to build a new steel armor, and began to uphold justice as a high-end member of SHIELD.
But in terms of personal feelings, Tony was certainly on Coco's side.
"Fury is a control freak. Even I can't stand what he does sometimes. You don't need to worry about this. I personally support Coco."
Tony has two female companions by his side today, one is Hilda, and the other is Jarvis, an intelligent life that has been provided with bionic skin technology by Kim Hyun Tae and has a human appearance and body.
At this time, Jarvis was a blond and blue-eyed beauty with a standard European and American appearance.
And the body proportions are also very good. These are all done in accordance with Tony's aesthetic standards.
"Let's put aside the matter of Coco. Can your underworld forces in New York really be able to deal with the private armed forces of the East Coast consortium? If we fail, we will really need those Sicilian thugs at some point. Woolen cloth."
As the controller of Stark Industries, Tony certainly does not reject the use of force to achieve his goals. After all, Stark Industries is in the arms business, and this business often involves violence.
"Don't worry, those Sicilian thugs are strong enough to deal with those guys' private armed forces. It doesn't matter even if those private armed forces are mutants or aliens."
"After Coco killed the five major families in New York, what was your organization called?"
"Central Park cool boy!"
puff!
After hearing the name Coco gave to his underworld force, Tony almost burst out laughing.
Because the name is not domineering at all, people who don’t know it think it is the name of a young street skateboarding team.
Hilda shrugged helplessly: "Miss likes this name, but we can't help it. After all, we always follow Miss's lead."
The two were chatting below, looking quite relaxed and comfortable, not nervous at all.
------Dividing line------
new world
At the inauguration ceremony of the Stein Principality Thermal Power Station, Jin Xiantai, Coco, and Annie's family all came to the scene. After all, their family's identity in the new world was the Emperor, Grand Marshal, and Grand Duchess of the Holy Knight of the Kingdom of Cute.
As the top officer of the Chinese base and now the earl of Stein Xinhua City in the land of cuteness, Mr. Jin stepped onto the makeshift rostrum and delivered the opening speech.
There is nothing new in the old man's opening speech, but it is just the Chinese way of speaking, looking back at the past, focusing on the present, looking forward to the future, and the future will be better and so on.
The adventurers from China and Jin Xiantai's family didn't think anything of it, but the New World natives who had never experienced this had their eyes lit up one by one, and they were full of longing for the future.
What a simple person.
Jin Xiantai muttered something silently in his heart.
It doesn’t matter what the original name of Xinhua City was. Anyway, now this city has become the fiefdom of Mr. Jin. Mr. Jin called this city Xinhua City. In the future, as long as the Kingdom of Cuteness still exists, the name of this city will not change. Change.
And because it is the fiefdom of Mr. Jin, there are many Chinese adventurers coming and going here, and the number even exceeds the local residents here.
Of course, the influx of a large number of adventurers has also played a role in promoting the development of the local economy, making Xinhua City quite prosperous, and the local pubs and even entertainment venues are somewhat overwhelmed.
Mr. Jin delivered an opening speech on the rostrum. Mr. Li accompanied Kim Hyuntai and his family in the audience and whispered to them: "Originally, the installed capacity of this thermal power plant was 6 million MW, but I don't know if it was because of magic. Due to the relationship between the grid and the crystal wall rules, the final efficiency can only be 3.6 million MW, but even so, this thermal power plant can supply the power supply needs of more than a dozen surrounding cities and towns. "
"In response to the strong request of the Chinese adventurers, we are recruiting a large number of local workers to lay the power grid and wireless network, preparing to bring electric lights into every household, and at the same time, let the network enter the world for the use of the Chinese adventurers."
Kim Hyun Tae is not opposed to allowing electricity to appear in the new world. After all, this is also a good thing.
After all, people from Earth have become accustomed to the presence of electricity in their lives. Without electricity, it would be really inconvenient in the new world.
As for the wireless network, Jin Xiantai is not opposed to it. After all, with the wireless network, the security issues for adventurers will be greatly improved, and it will also be of great benefit to the military.
But just having electricity and the Internet is not enough.
"We have electricity, but where is the running water?"
Immediately, Kim Hyun Tae asked about the tap water. 8)
