The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1225 The Farm of Justice ([-])

Martha's eyes were wide open, her hands on her hips, Clark and Bruce could only stand at the door of the kitchen with their heads bowed to be scolded, while Jonathan leaned on the refrigerator next to him to watch the excitement.

"Clark! I really didn't expect, how could you take Bruce to play in the water?!" Martha stared at Clark and said.

Clark opened his mouth and pointed at Bruce. He wanted to explain that it was Bruce who did it first, but Martha immediately said: "Bruce is a guest of our house, and you let him do the dishes?!"

"I didn't stare at you for only 2 minutes. You not only took the sick guest to wash the dishes, but also made him covered in water. Don't you know that the wound is not healed and you can't touch the water?!"

Clark murmured dejectedly, "Got it, Mom, I'll take care of it."

"Okay, don't be angry." Jonathan immediately went up to smooth things over, he grabbed Martha's waist and led her out, and said: "Young guys are always like this, they are still far from the governor and sensible, It reminds me of me and my brother camping on the Mississippi River, he never beat me in water fights..."

As the voices of the two became farther and farther away, Clark looked at Bruce helplessly, but seeing that his neckline and sleeves were covered with water, he was still a little worried and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes upstairs, don't be serious. The wound was infected."

Bruce shook his head slightly and said: "I'm not that fragile. I went to hell before and swallowed a lot of soul energy. After the strength of the soul overflows, it will actively heal the body. My self-healing ability is much stronger than ordinary people. .”

Clark stepped forward and touched Bruce's forehead, and said, "Look, you have a fever, get out of here quickly, I'm going to mop the floor."

Bruce shook his head, walked back to the sink and said, "You clean up the floor, and I'll finish the dishes..."

"Hi, gentlemen, do you need help?" Diana leaned against the kitchen door and knocked lightly with her fingers. She looked at the messy floor and seemed a little surprised.

Clark looked a little embarrassed. After all, the water fight was a bit naive, so he had no choice but to explain: "No, it's nothing, Miss Prince, you can go upstairs with Louise and change into clothes that are more convenient for work. I'll go around the field later."

"Have you guys had a water fight here?" Diana looked at the marks on the ground and said bluntly: "It seems that you haven't hit him."

Clark was even more embarrassed, but at this time Diana took the initiative to change the subject, she put her eyes on Bruce, her face straightened up a little, and said: "I heard about what you did in Gotham, you took the initiative to reform The construction of slums, building more industries, providing more jobs for the poor, and actively developing tourism to prepare for urban transformation, seriously, you are a hero."

Bruce looked a little surprised, he looked at Diana with a little surprised eyes, Diana shook her head and said, "You shouldn't be the old-fashioned one who thinks that women don't pay attention to current affairs news, right?"

Bruce said as he turned to wash the dishes, "I just didn't expect you to understand so much."

"Of course, I would like to thank the reporter in front of you. His report on Gotham published in the Metropolitan Daily also attracted my attention. I am very interested in this city, so I inquired about the situation there. ’” Diana replied.

"I mean, you have learned some information that ordinary people can't understand."

"Of course, after all, I am the princess of Amazon, a member of the royal family, and I have my own political advisors. More importantly, Paradise Island holds a lot of shares in Wayne Group. Some of your actions cannot escape our eyes. "

Bruce nodded, accepting this statement. Paradise Island is similar to most small countries in the world. It basically has no industry and mainly develops tourism. However, because of its unique geographical environment and social structure, it is still popular in the international community. Have a certain right to speak.

Just like all small countries, their main sources of income still rely on investment and trust, and it is very normal for them to hold shares in the Wayne Group.

Diana tapped her arm lightly with her fingers, and said, "It may be a bit impolite, but I still want to advise you that taking too many steps is not necessarily a good thing."

"Are you worried about the stock going down?" Bruce glanced back at Diana slightly.

"On the contrary, I'm worried that if you just draw blood from the main artery of the Wayne Group, if the capital chain is broken, all the renovation projects will be unfinished."

"For the rich, unfinished buildings have little effect, and they don't live there anyway, but for the poor, the impact is huge."

Diana frowned slightly, this expression showed extra compassion on her bright face, she said with a little worry:
"I have seen many rich people who want to do good things in a hurry. They start quickly, invest a lot, and have a good heart, but they often don't get good results in the end because they are too anxious."

"What they give to the bottom-level people is what they think the bottom-level people want, not necessarily what the bottom-level people really need, and because the stalls are too big to control, the project is unfinished, and they owe a lot of money debt."

"When certain projects were started in a mighty way, they gave hope to the poor, and the cruelest thing in this world is to give hope to others, and then destroy this hope with your own hands."

"And after failing to achieve good results, they will also feel that their kindness has been let down and their feelings have been hurt. This is completely a lose-lose."

"I think that if we want to do good deeds, we must also pay attention to the long-term flow of water. If the timeline is long enough, it also has the advantage of being a latecomer. In case of any problems in the middle, it is easier to recover, and it is easier to learn from experience and lessons in subsequent projects. better."

Bruce was even more surprised when he looked at Diana. He didn't expect that he would hear such advice from Diana.

In fact, after the Wayne Group decided to carry out the transformation of Gotham, many people expressed their views on it.

But most of them only have two views. One is that the Wayne Group can't complete such a large project and it is a waste of time. The other is that no matter how much the Wayne Group has done, it is good to have this heart.

To Bruce's surprise, Diana's suggestion was indeed pertinent, and she had a mature temperament that did not match her age.

This beautiful black-haired princess looks very young, definitely under 30 years old, but she acts as if she is 60 or [-] years old.

Seeing Bruce's expression, Diana let out a chuckle. She waved her hand and said, "Do I look like an old lady?"

"Thank you for your suggestion." Bruce said sincerely.

Diana shook her head, she recalled it again, and then asked: "I heard that you have remodeled a quarter of the East End, which is really an amazing achievement."

Before Bruce said anything, Clark stared at Bruce with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe that his friend had done such a big thing in silence.

Although Clark reported on Gotham, he was still more inclined to cultural customs, and did not pay special attention to the economy and renovation projects, but the data Diana said still surprised him.

Gotham is a megacity on the east coast, with a total area of ​​about 700 square kilometers, including the sea area, while the land area is about 200 square kilometers, of which the East District accounts for more than a quarter of the area, about [-] square kilometers.

Among them, the actual residential area used for living is almost exactly 100 square kilometers, so 1/4 is 25 square kilometers.

It sounds like this area is not big, and it is about the size of a small town. However, Gotham East is the most densely populated residential area among megacities. No matter in terms of building density or population density, small towns cannot compare .

The population crowded in these 25 square kilometers is already equivalent to a small city, and the manpower and material resources required to tear down and rebuild a city are unimaginable.

Of course, it would be much easier if it were the state that did it.

If a country has a complete industrial system, then the construction cost is approximately equal to the cost of raw materials. With various policies and multi-party cooperation, it is not difficult to build one or two cities.

But the problem is that no matter how powerful the Wayne Group is, it is only a private group. Its business scope is limited. It cannot be like a country, with mining, smelting, foundry, and It can produce building materials, furniture, and water and electricity.

Then, all these missing industries need to be filled with money, that is, to buy finished products directly.

Even if a large transaction would be cheaper, it would not be much cheaper. At this level of cost, to build a densely populated small city would cost sky-high wealth.

Diana saw this, and she wanted to remind Bruce that she was worried that the young entrepreneur was too anxious to fill in all the costs at once, causing the Wayne Group's capital chain to break.

In that case, not only will the civilians in Gotham not be saved, the bankruptcy of the Wayne Group may also cause many people to lose their jobs and make the situation in Gotham worse.

And the reason why Bruce would sincerely thank Diana for her suggestion is because what Diana said was right, he is now using the Wayne Group's money to invest in the construction of Gotham, which is completely drawing blood from the Wayne Group's main artery , this is not a sustainable business behavior, the risk is already high to the limit.

Bruce would worry about money before, and it was the same. He didn't really have no money, but compared to the sky-high cost, it seemed that he had no money.

Soon Clark also came to his senses. He looked at Bruce anxiously and said, "What should I do then? If you want to save people, you must first ensure your own safety! If something happens to the Wayne Group, it will be in big trouble .”

But then he sighed again and said, "I don't mean you should go back to work right now, don't get me wrong, it's still the same sentence, health is the most important thing."

Diana raised her eyebrows, looked at Bruce and said, "...are you hurt?"

Just as Bruce was about to speak, Clark immediately said, "Yes, he was seriously injured. If I hadn't brought him out, he would have been fighting those criminals in that crazy city!"

Diana showed a disapproving expression, looked at Bruce and said, "Since you know what you want to do, you should be even more aware that you must first protect yourself before you can realize your ideal."

"At such an important juncture, if something happens to the controller of the group and affects the confidence of the shareholders, it will be even more dangerous."

As Diana spoke, she said herself in a hurry. She began to pace around the kitchen door a little restlessly, and said quickly:
"During your series of actions to transform Gotham, I saw the possibility of saving the city. I think the citizens of Gotham think so too."

"You let them see hope, they are willing to wait for you, willing to wait for you to return them a brand new Gotham."

"But if this hope falls in the middle, maybe they will never have hope again, and if anyone wants to change the city in the future, they will not choose to believe again."

"Based on Gotham's situation, there are more than 700 million people here who need to be saved. You are their people's aspiration, and you are bound by thousands of hopes. You are really well prepared to deal with what I said. Trouble?"
