Wall Street Legend

Chapter 270 Chinatown (34)

A building with a rather controversial appearance, it has some bad connotations, but its appearance is quite cool.

It is certain that it will become a new landmark in New York after it is completed. Once you have seen it, you will never forget it. After all, the shape is so recognizable.

To be honest, Mayor Michael Bloomberg is quite confused now. The reason for the confusion is that he doesn’t know how New Yorkers will react to this. He added: “The land is yours, and the funds used to build the building are also yours.” Yes, I don’t remember any rule saying that you can’t build a skyscraper according to your own preferences. This is your own business. Besides, New York should be a city that can tolerate all kinds of art. When the Flatiron Building was first built, people Call it ugly, but now it has become one of the most famous buildings in Manhattan.

What's more, you need to recruit workers and purchase raw materials during the construction of the building, and you can also increase taxes in the future. These are relatively good things in my opinion. If you are worried that some people will not accept it, maybe you can change its image slightly and use more metal. The material makes this cobra look like a large steel toy, like Transformers steel. "

Mayor Bloomberg was born in 1942. He is over 60 years old this year. He is still full of energy and drive. He is a late bloomer and you can feel comfortable talking to him.

Although they didn't have much contact with him, Ye Dongqing liked him. Everyone knew that the mayor insisted on taking the subway to and from work and managed New York better, so he gained the respect and recognition of others. He was also a good mayor and led New Yorkers. After passing through the shadow of 911, the previous mayor was so hateful that he almost bankrupted New York.

After understanding what Mayor Bloomberg meant, Ye Dongqing sat across from his desk, crossed his legs, nodded and said, "I will say hello to the architectural design office. When the real finished product comes out, there should be more information." That's cool, I should be able to pick out a piece of land on Manhattan Island that I'm happy with in the near future and pay for it.

Can we look at it after it is completed? I just came here today and I wanted to ask if I can get some tax relief from the city hall if I continue to increase investment in New York. "

"Do you mean investments like those guys on Wall Street, or the kind that create jobs and really drive economic development?"

Bloomberg News, the world's largest financial news group, was founded by Mayor Bloomberg. Never underestimate the strength and influence of this old man. Ye Dongqing is also a celebrity after all. This super-rich city Of course the president knew what kind of business he was doing, and added: "If I had known that at the time, I would have asked you to keep that Facebook in New York. However, I also know that Silicon Valley is more suitable for the development of high-tech industries. Let's talk about it. It’s your idea, and if you think it’s appropriate, I’ll help you find a way to get the tax deduction.”

"The labor cost in New York is too high, and labor-intensive enterprises are not suitable here. I am more like a relatively large venture capitalist, so don't expect any promises from me. I mean the cost of investing in building a building. After all, there are hundreds of millions of dollars.”

Ye Dongqing's words did not satisfy the other party. Just now, Mayor Bloomberg had a little expectation. At this moment, he said angrily: "It's okay to ask the companies you invested in to move here. I'll definitely do it then." I will give you discounts within the scope of the policy. As for the cost of building the building, think of ways to save it. If it is close to here, I may rent an apartment from you. If you can run to work, it should be very convenient. Well, I live a little far away now.”

Living in the Upper East Side, commuting to Lower City for work every day does take quite a long time.

Although it is said to be an office, in fact, the current New York City Hall is more like the trading floor of a certain securities firm. Mayor Bloomberg, including Mayor Bloomberg, all work in the same empty space, with only a partition in the middle. He probably figured out what the old mayor meant. He was willing to help a little and would not object or cause trouble. This was already very good news for Ye Dongqing.

The other party still had something to do, so he took the Cobra Building concept map and said goodbye before leaving. He also went to the Chinatown area to eat, bought some steamed buns, sauces, etc., plus two cans of green tea and a pack of flue-cured cigarettes, and walked around. Soon we took the bus back to Zhongcheng.

Generally speaking, the Chinatown area in New York is developing well. As long as you work hard, even if it is some manual labor, you can always get by. The more miserable ones are the lonely elderly people, such as a man who helps others mend clothes and change zippers. The old woman, I remember she was here when I was a child, and she hasn't left until now. There is also a couple who sell braised meat, and they have successfully built a small shop into a time-honored brand with a history of 40 years. Ye Dongqing does not like the smell of star anise, so she does not like to eat their food.

Now that we have succeeded, we have moved from downtown to midtown, the activity area has changed, and we have almost lost contact with Chinatown.

Coming back this time felt like revisiting my hometown. Unfortunately, it was not a return to my hometown. It was home when my relatives were there. And he had always treated himself as an orphan, and he had no relatives that Ye Dongqing could miss. He had long been separated from his aunt's family. Coming and going.

I was originally going to go back to Puchuan Building, but I suddenly changed my mind when I got emotional. I asked the driver to turn around and go back to Chinatown. I followed the route in my memory and found the old house where I lived with my parents. It had been sold to someone else, and even the broken door had been replaced. The new one stood for a while smoking a cigarette, smiled cheerfully, and very immorally took a stone to carve characters on the door of the other party, and left a phone number.

Someone saw this scene and saw the bodyguards and luxury car beside Ye Dongqing. They vaguely guessed whose child he was, but they did not dare to come over and talk to him. Their eyes were like looking at strange animals. Ye Dongqing had already been there. The Chinatown area is famous, very, very famous. Everyone knows that a kid who walked out of this street has become a super rich man with too much money to spend, and he has not been bullied for a penny. aunt.

The gossip among the neighbors spreads faster than the flu. More people are on Ye Dongqing's side. Many people know about his family's family affairs.

Go nearby to buy some food that you remember, and bring some money and fruit, and ask the driver to take you to the cemetery next to the Queens Expressway. I haven't visited the cemetery this year, so I can put other things aside for the time being. Nothing can be delayed.

…

He arranged the fruits himself and burned the paper money on the green grass. He would pay as much as he should, and the custom should continue.

When the fire started to burn, he threw the cigarette he had only smoked into the paper money. In his memory, his father who was an accountant only had such a hobby, and he was gone. He expected that it would be okay to smoke again...
