Chapter 106: Gotham Longzhong Strategy (Part 2)

Develop tourism in Gotham?

If someone had said this to Bruce before, he would have suggested that person go to Arkham Hospital for a checkup.

Who would dare to come to Gotham for tourism?

If someone really came, he could just buy a one-way ticket, since he wouldn't need to return anyway.

But to Bruce's surprise, his friends around him didn't seem surprised by this, and many even supported it.

"In fact, Gotham's natural conditions are pretty good, right? Our latitude is not high, it's not cold, it has a subtropical monsoon humid climate, there are no natural disasters such as tornadoes, and there is a golden beach. The quality of the beach is also one of the best in the entire East Coast..."

"Of course, of course, I know that the gambling industry is not much better. Gamblers are not nobler than those drug addicts, but it is much better than drug trafficking, arms and dangerous goods smuggling, right?"

Harvey took a sip of wine, patted Bruce's shoulder and said, "You haven't graduated from college yet, you may think that the world is black and white. If Gotham wants to get better, it must get better all at once..."

"But in reality, this is unlikely. Even from the current point of view, it is impossible for the city of Gotham to get completely better. It is either bad or worse."

"However, the large number of jobs that casinos can provide can reduce the number of unemployed people. When more regular jobs appear, the possibility of gang violence will be reduced and it will become more stable."

"This is a good thing for any city, although I think Gotham is unlikely to become a normal city like Imperial City, But at least it will be much better than the current situation..."

"But..."

Bruce's current state is that he understands the truth. He is a genius and can certainly see the benefits of this industrial transformation and upgrading. Even the Wayne family will benefit from it.

But now he just feels it is ridiculous.

Bruce's attitude towards Gotham is actually quite negative. He knows better than anyone how bad this city is. He has never expected this city to develop in any good direction.

But now it seems that Gotham is not developing in a good direction, but on a bad road, changing a bad road, just like changing from a dead end to a dead end. After a series of operations, the black has become colorful black, and the original city of sin has become a fancy city of sin.

The connection between Gotham and Chicago alone has brought some changes to the city.

As we all know, warehouses are needed for the transfer of smuggled goods, and the cooperation with Chicago has greatly broadened the routes of smuggled goods. The increase in the number of smuggled goods requires more warehouses to store them.

If you want to build a warehouse, you must have land. Everyone wants to get a bigger piece of the pie, so the twelve families started a crazy land grabbing action. The land in the suburbs of Gotham was doubled by them.

Moreover, you can't just take pictures of the land. Warehouses are not made out of thin air.

To build a warehouse, you need designers to draw pictures, engineering teams to build, and inspectors to inspect. To transport things into the warehouse, you need people to carry and transport. This has at least added thousands of jobs out of thin air.

Moreover, some more dangerous chemical smuggling products need special warehouses to store, such as low-temperature warehouses.

Victor never thought that he would receive 89 job offers in a week, and all of them offered high salaries that blinded his eyes. Together, they were enough for him to freeze his wife until the next century.

When he worked late for several days to earn extra money and exhausted himself, and couldn't stand it anymore and had to call his classmates to ask them to come to Gotham to make big money, he even thought that he was crazy.

The sudden expansion of smuggling channels is like a huge cake, and the pattern of dividing the cake is that the quick hand gets the cake, and the slow hand gets the cake. If you want to grab the biggest cake quickly, you must build a series of supporting facilities earlier than others. After seeing this, the gang leaders began to rush to build supporting facilities in advance before other industries began to cooperate.

The docks in Gotham, which had not been renovated for decades, began to be bustling again. In order to allow larger ships to berth, they had to start considering raising funds to build a deep-water dock. In order to make the dock's transportation faster, land reclamation projects were also put on the agenda.

Moreover, you always need airplanes to communicate with the world's sources of goods. The mayor's office just showed a little sign, and almost all the big gangs heard the news and said that everyone is responsible for Gotham's construction, so why not let us do the airport project.

And they soon found that compared with shipping, air transportation is also promising. Some bulk commodities are of course better transported by cargo ships, but some more sophisticated small equipment and instruments are faster and safer to transport by air.

If you want air transportation, you need bigger airports, more warehouses, and a faster internal logistics circulation system, which means you need more land, more warehouse builders, more professional managers and technical workers.

The local labor force in Gotham is limited, and most of them are already members of various gangs. Now Gotham is gradually developing in the direction of waiting for people for positions.

At this time, people found that the reason why there are many positions but not enough people is not because there are few people in Gotham, but because they are not professional enough.

Even if it is a porter, you have to learn some force techniques, otherwise you will be exhausted after working for a morning, and there will be no one in the afternoon.

Due to the lack of basic education facilities in Gotham, most people are street vagrants before they become adults. It can be said that they can't do anything and can't learn anything.

The gang boss found that the existing group of people might not be saved, so let's start with the next generation. If I need a truck driver, then find a way to open a driver school. If I need a tower guide, then find a way to open an air technology training school. The worst docks also need porters, and they can be taken directly to work after two classes.

All minors over 14 years old and under 18 years old should stop wandering around the streets every day. Go to class quickly. Don't you know that they are short of people now?

Don't tell me, in this hellhole of Gotham, using the gangster method to popularize education is very effective, because in a family of three, at least one member will be a gangster, and most of them are two.

Your boss now tells you that there are a lot of jobs waiting for people to work and get paid, but your child is still wandering around the streets every day, causing trouble everywhere. Most gangster parents will choose to catch their children and beat them up, and then throw them to learn some skills. Anyway, even if they can't learn, it's better than getting into trouble outside.

Of course, the current school model is basically to find an empty space, and then find someone who can talk while gesturing. How much you can understand depends on your understanding, and the application basically depends on practical experience. It can't even be considered a prototype of a school. It can only be said that it has just broken away from the oral education model of the Middle Ages, but it's better than nothing.

The more far-sighted people in the twelve families have begun to think about it. If they can open a school that belongs only to their own family and educate a group of professionals who belong to their own family and serve only for their family, wouldn't they be ahead of other families for a whole era?

As long as they hire better teachers with high salaries and train stronger professional managers, their industry will be stronger than others, and they will be able to get a bigger share of the pie when the pie is divided.

This idea was not put into practice immediately, because Gotham's culture of relying on the weather for food has lasted for decades. Gotham people have no habit of education and being educated. Their investment in education is almost zero, and they dare not take risks for a while.

But as this industrial model gradually develops, they will find that the root of everything lies in education. They will find that the large amount of money they now spend on hiring foreign technicians, if invested in cultivating local residents and their own direct lineage, will not only gain professional technicians, but also a lot of reputation benefits.

The previous generation of strong men, including Falcone, have seen the future from this model. The 21st century will be a century of talent cultivation. All competitions, in the end, are to see who can cultivate more and stronger talents.

Once this relatively advanced model is introduced, those smart people who are limited by the times will soon complete all the following things, so it is not surprising that the old godfather Falcone is the first to take the lead and want to open a family school.

Of course, this school is not for civilians, but for the descendants of the Falcone family members. They will learn a lot of elite courses here to better manage the resources of the Falcone family in the future.

Of course, every member of the Falcone family wants their children to enter this school, because once entering this school, it means entering the godfather's sight. If they can achieve excellent results, they are likely to be assigned a better status and go higher and further.

The godfather's little tricks obviously cannot be hidden from other families. Although this school has only seven students so far, and the teaching location is only in a reception room in the Falcone manor, the other twelve families have not learned anything else in so many years, so they just copy it.

The Gotham Longzhong Strategy, proposed by Schiller, improved by Falcone, and jointly carried out by all the Gotham gangs, shocked everyone with its remarkable effect in the early stage of implementation.

People resist reform not because they resist the part of the reform that can bring benefits to people, but because they resist the overly drastic changes in the distribution of benefits and the change in lifestyle.

When a reform does not actually change people's lifestyles, the gangs are still gangs, no one wants to eradicate them, the twelve families are still the twelve families, no one wants to eliminate them, but everyone unites to exchange a small investment for the qualification of a bigger pie, then everyone will feel that reform is just a means to grab more benefits.

And those who benefit from it will be forced to continue, and use the profits they have already obtained to invest more in this reform in the hope of getting a bigger pie.

More importantly, the first step taken by the Gotham Longzhong Group proved one thing to everyone in Gotham - it is not that there is no gold in the mud pit. The key to panning for gold in shit is not the shit, but the real gold.

They may be rotten, but they make money, so it's not shameful.
