Chapter 835 The Children's Struggle (Part 1)

"Boss! Boss! Something happened!" In a room on the top floor of the living hell, a half-grown child pushed the door in hurriedly and said to Cobert who was writing on the desk: "Something happened on the three streets in the first phase of the East District reconstruction plan!"

Cobert asked without raising his head: "What happened? Is it worth making such a fuss?"

"It's... it's..." The child seemed to be afraid of being blamed. He hesitated for a long time, but still gritted his teeth and said: "The people in charge of this matter have been running around outside these days, and no one has been kept an eye on. Five or six gang leaders there have died, and we don't know how they died..."

"Five or six died?" Cobert raised his eyebrows, looked at him and asked: "There should be no big gangs on those three streets, only a few small gangs in total. Do you mean that all their bosses are dead?"

The child swallowed and said: "Almost, not only that, some small bosses are also dead..."

"How did they die?" Cobert asked again

"The ways of death are all very fancy. Some were shot, some were strangled, and some were drowned. In short, it doesn't look like a gang vendetta..." The child scratched his head and said with some doubt.

When the person who reported this matter gave him this information, he also felt very strange. Generally speaking, if a gang boss died, most of them were shot in the front, and some of them were only shot from the back by sneak attacks.

But so many gang bosses died in a short period of time, and the ways of death were very fancy, which was very strange.

"Is there anything abnormal nearby?" Cobert asked.

"Abnormal? There is no big abnormality, but there seems to be fewer children there, maybe they were driven out by these gangs in advance." The child said.

"Kicked out by the gangs in advance?" Cobert put down his pen, sat up straight and said, "Why were the children's gangs kicked out by the gangs?"

"Because... Boss, you know that the renovation plan given by the Wayne Group treats everyone equally. No matter how old the residents are, everyone can be assigned a room."

"Recently, we are rectifying the order near the living hell. We all know that the rent there is very expensive. If we can control one more room, we can earn a lot of rent. As long as the children are kicked out, the houses assigned to them will belong to the local gangs."

"It was just a small amount of money before..." The child shrugged and said, "Let the children run away. Legs, only pay a few dozen cents, but now, involving hundreds of dollars, they simply will not allow these children to compete with them. "

Cobert sighed and said: "Then who do you think we represent?"

The child was a little confused and didn't understand what Cobert was saying. Cobert sighed again and said: "Forget it, go call the tire."

After a while, the fat tire came in. He was now more plump and ruddy. It was obvious that he ate well. He greeted Cobert and said: "Hey, Cobert, what's wrong? What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Have you heard about the recent building renovation project?" Cobert asked.

The tire nodded and said: "Of course, my house seems to be planned in the second phase of the project, and it will start in two or three months. My mother plans to pay more money to change us to a two-bedroom, one-living room house. After all, I have a girlfriend recently. If I get married in the future, the house can still be used. "

"Are there any moves by the gangs in your place?" Cobert asked.

Tire recalled and said, "They seem to be recruiting people crazily recently. I heard that if they recruit one more person, they can get one more house. When the time comes, they can kick these people out, and they will have a lot of houses, and they can make a lot of money by renting them out."

Suddenly, Tire frowned and said, "Oh no, when it is really implemented, won't people like me and my mother be kicked out?"

"No, I have to go back quickly and ask my mother to buy more bullets... No, this won't work either. It's too unsafe. If it doesn't work, we can just spend money to buy a house in the living hell. There's no need to join in the fun..."

Cobert sighed and said, "You are in the second phase, so the gangs are recruiting crazily, wanting to get more places, but the gangs in the first phase resettlement plan have already started to kick people out."

"The places over there have been determined, and the gangs are kicking out those who are easy to bully. Go out, control the house, rent it out, and make money. How do you think this can be solved? "Cobert asked,

Tire rolled his eyes. His mind was quite flexible. He said: "If you want to solve this problem completely, the Wayne Group has to find a way, but it is also difficult. After all, you can't arrange someone to watch who lives in this house every day..."

"As long as there is a glimpse, the tenant will definitely be driven out. Not to mention the children helped by the children, even if it is me and my mother, we have guns, bullets, and a lot of money, I am afraid we have to stay out of the spotlight for a while."

Tire sighed and said: "In the final analysis, interests move people's hearts. The current situation of the living hell is obvious to all. Everyone is waiting for the land price to rise. Once there is a new construction plan, everyone will definitely flock to buy more houses. Even if they can't sell them, they can rent them out. After all, the rent of the living hell is also very expensive. "

"If you can get hold of ten good houses, you can earn at least a few hundred dollars more a month. If you can get hold of hundreds of houses, the profits will tempt even the big gangs. After all, the logistics industry depends on the weather, but renting houses is a sure win."

"You are right. To solve this problem, we can only start from the implementation aspect, and I believe that the Wayne Group does have a way."

"You said, if the person who proposed this transformation plan has a wonderful way to prevent this from happening, and we know this in advance, what should we do now?" Copperbot asked.

Tire frowned, thought carefully for a while and said: "Those gangs in the first phase of the renovation plan kicked people out crazily, drove out the children's gang, and expelled the reserve troops in their own gangs. When the time comes to hand over the houses, they will find that they can't get the houses that have been confirmed. They will definitely be very dissatisfied."

"But they don't seem to have any way to deal with the Wayne Group. After all, these are small gangs, and they can't even see the top leaders of the Wayne Group."

"If the Wayne Group can get the original owners of the houses that have been confirmed to move in, they will definitely vent their grievances on these original owners, and the two sides will definitely have conflicts."

"But they kicked out their own gang members, and they may not necessarily have an absolute advantage. It is more likely that the two sides are evenly matched."

Although Tire has not learned any theoretical knowledge, he has been here since he was a child like all the children in Gotham, and he also has a very powerful mother. His mother owns a gas station, and she runs it herself, not relying on gangs. This is enough to show how powerful she is.

Under the influence of his surroundings, Tire can be said to be familiar with the logic and behavior of the gangs. He said: "The original owners of these rooms must be dissatisfied with the gangs who kicked them out, and the gangs are also dissatisfied with them. The contradictions between the two cannot be reconciled at all. At that time, there will definitely be a storm in the city."

"At this time, it is very important which side the children stand on..." Tire suddenly said as if he suddenly realized something, "The gangs will gradually split into several pieces. If they want to gain an advantage here, they have to rely on these familiar children, and we can help the children there in advance..."

"If this is the case, after several phases of the project are completed, the Gotham children's gangs may be more closely connected, instead of being independent as they are now."

Cobert shook his head "It's more than that. When you were a kid, you should have come into contact with the members of the Kids Gang. Each of them was assigned a room, but do you think they would live in one room by themselves? Or would they squeeze into one room and rent out other rooms to make money?"

"Although I'm not a member of the Kids Gang, I think they will definitely squeeze together and rent out some of the members' houses. In this way, their living conditions will be improved and they will make money."

Tire shrugged and said, "Although I don't understand it a little, they are still very loyal. They would rather suffer a little and buy food for the children in the gang, so they will definitely choose to make money."

"The single rooms assigned to the children are actually the easiest to rent out." Cobert analyzed: "Most Gotham residents don't need a living room. A bed and a window are good enough. There's no need to pay extra to rent a one-bedroom apartment..."

"If we don't intervene, the gangs will definitely interfere with who they rent the house to, and they might even take a cut of it. But we can do this..." Cobblepot tapped the table with his finger and said, "Unite all the children so that they are no longer exploited by the gangs..."

"And once they can earn rent and have some spare money, we can encourage them to go to school, just like the school in the living hell, throw some children in, and let special teachers take them to study and play."

"And once they go to school, the school has dormitories, which will free up more rooms, If we rent it out, we can earn more money. Maybe the older children can also go to school normally. "

Tire nodded and said, "It's a good wish, but the only problem is, how can Wayne Group guarantee that everyone lives in their own house? If the gangsters block the door with guns, who dares not to come out?"

Cobert smiled and said, "You underestimate the technical means of Wayne Group. In less than two months, the first building of the first phase of the renovation project will be completely completed. At that time, you can see who can live in it."

Tire scratched his head and said, "If that's the case, it's good. No one can rob anyone's house, and we feel at ease."

"In fact, families like mine and my mother, don't we just want peace of mind? If the gangsters are good to us, it's okay to pay some protection fees. If Wayne Group can really build such a house, we pay them some protection fees, which is the same."

"Or, if he doesn't let us pay, we will feel wrong. "The tire shook his head and said, "My mother always said that there is no free lunch in the world. If he takes the money, he will always protect us. If he doesn't take a penny, he will definitely make us pay another price."

"Perhaps, what he wants now is not money." Cobert turned his head and looked out the window. He said, "Perhaps, the day of eternal safety and freedom that you talked about will eventually come, but when that day comes, what you have to sacrifice may be other things."
