The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 850
Nearly three months into the renovation project, the first and second phases of the project are coming to an end. The three overpasses between the first and second phases only need to complete the final safety test before they can be opened to traffic.

The first-phase and second-phase projects and road construction all use the technology of the Batcave, which means that residents must undergo fingerprint and iris authentication, and at the same time collect genes, upload them to the Batcave system, and then only follow the authority system inside the building, there is no Those who have been certified cannot enter the building anyway.

What is even more terrible is the traffic. The three overpasses all use the same authentication system. In addition to the authenticator, the vehicle is also authenticated. Unlicensed and licensed vehicles are all unable to enter. Drivers want to force their way. Compared with the defense facilities that sprang out, Gundam was only short of a slogan.

The residents here have no special feeling for information collection, and the car can be unimpeded after putting their hand in for 30 seconds.

However, soon, the big gangsters and the Twelve Families discovered something was wrong. Once the residential area had the power to deny entry to unauthorized persons, it meant that the gangsters would no longer be able to control the residents here.

If they don't obey the rules, the gang has no way to punish them. As long as they can run home, no one can break in. This is definitely unacceptable to the gang.

For this reason, the leaders of the Twelve Families approached Bruce again. This time the meeting looked less gentle, and looked more like a crusade meeting. As soon as Bruce walked in, he found that the gang leaders underneath were all pale great.

"Ahem." Bruce cleared his throat and said, "The phone at Wayne Mansion has been ringing since last night until this morning. What's the rush? Do you have to come to me during the busy days?"

"Wayne, don't go around in circles with us, what's the matter with the permission identification system you created? Can my people still not enter my own territory?"

"You can go in, but you need to be certified." Bruce shrugged and said, "Have you asked them to do the certification?"

"Why not? After the authentication, your ghost system said that he is not a resident here, so he is not allowed to enter. He wanted to go in to collect protection fees, but he was typed out, Wayne! Are you crazy?! Do you want to fight against all the gangsters?!" Lawrence patted the table and stared at Bruce.

"Protection fee? Of course they will." Bruce gave an unexpected answer, he said: "No one asked them to pay the protection fee, didn't the staff in the building tell you? Every month 3 Number, the protection fee will be collected by the staff, and after it is deposited into the unified account, it will be transferred to your bank card, haven’t you received it?”

The leaders of the twelve families sitting in the front row were stunned for a moment, one of them went out, went to the living room next to him to make a phone call, and after saying a few words to the other end of the phone, he came back with a dark face and said: "It is true that there is an unknown amount of money in the account, but it is completely inconsistent with the amount of protection fees we collected before."

"Because I collected the price difference in the middle." Bruce folded his arms and said, "You don't think I'm really doing charity, do you? The first and second phases of the project are completed, do you know how much I invested? I'm a businessman. In addition to earning back the cost, profits are also needed.”

"But you can't take away our protection fee!" Lawrence shouted loudly: "You should ask them for it! Asking more from those who pay the protection fee, what does it have to do with us?!"

"How do you know I didn't ask them for more?" Bruce raised his eyebrows and said, "Not only did I raise the rent, I also asked them to pay 20% more protection fees, and I also deducted 20% of your protection fees. It’s paying for itself.”

"Don't forget, the defense system I designed can not only stop those who want to enter with malicious intentions, but also prevent thieves, bombings, and even prevent prostitution, drunkenness, and drug addicts..."

"In the building built by the Wayne Group, all whores, drunks and drug addicts dare to make trouble in the corridors, they will be stunned by robots, and as long as they dare to fight, armed staff will separate them .”

"You don't think there is no price to pay for maintaining such a safe and stable life?" Bruce asked back.

"But we didn't let you..."

"Then you didn't object!" Bruce knocked on the table and said, "You were the ones who said at the beginning that it's good to ban excessive drinking, at least the young and middle-aged thugs recruited will be healthier and won't die of drunkenness just after paying a sum of money. In the bar..."

"It's also you who said that it would be good if we stopped recruiting prostitutes, so as not to catch a whole body of diseases. I don't know who to infect them, and I have to worry about asking people..."

"It's also you who said that it's good to take less drugs, so that you don't have to walk every day, you can't hold your gun steadily, you can't aim correctly when you fire, and you waste bullets..."

"It's better for you to say that it can prevent fights, so that today one gang beats another gang member and makes trouble with you, and tomorrow this gang beats that gang member into a disability, and troubles come to you again..."

Bruce spread his hands and said: "I have done it perfectly. In the future, there will be no drunks, no clients, and no addicts in these residential buildings. Everyone lives in peace and safety. It is a perfect reserve army of gangsters. "

"You..." Lawrence choked, and then he felt a little guilty, because what Bruce said was indeed what they had discussed and agreed on before.

At the beginning, when Bruce told them the plan, he had already emphasized what would happen in these buildings in the future. At the beginning, the leaders of the twelve families praised these defensive measures.

In fact, the advantage of the gang society is that the blood changes quickly, but the disadvantage is also the fast blood change. Everyone is passionate, and it is inevitable that there will be troubles one after another. If the small gangs are okay, after the big gangs have conflicts, only the twelve families can come forward , The adjustment is not good, and it will fall into the mouth.

Just like the Spencer family at the beginning, not to mention thankless effort, it is easy to cause internal conflicts in the family. If things go on like this, the leaders of the twelve families also hate these messy cases. Make trouble for them.

Human beings are always greedy. They hope that people who can provide them with benefits will be like hungry wolves when they go out to fight. They will bite off a few pieces of meat from the other side and take them home. They also hope that they will be obedient pets. Dog, stay in the cage if you have nothing to do, don't cause trouble.

It’s best to be like an ATM machine, just spit out money when you want to spit out money, and stay there honestly when you don’t spit out money.

Therefore, they didn't take the questions raised by Wayne seriously at all. Instead, they praised them, thinking that Wayne could help them solve a lot of troubles, and with fewer mediation cases, they would have more time to spend their money.

Lawrence clenched his hands into fists, thumped them on the table, and said, "Look, Wayne, you can't interfere with where we're going anyway, our turf is ours, and on our turf we're the only ones who can say Forget it!"

Bruce nodded again, and said, "Yes, you have the final say on your territory, and I didn't say no, it's just that you can't infringe on my private assets, otherwise I have the right to self-defense."

"Okay, Lawrence." One of the older leaders of the twelve families said: "And Mr. Wayne, don't be angry, we are not here to vent our anger, I think we should sit down and have a good talk .”

Lawrence turned his head aside, and Bruce nodded. He said, "At that time, I asked you if you want to invest, and you said no, I can do it myself, but after I come, isn't this my own asset?"

"You can't spend money and have permission. If there is such a good thing in the world, wouldn't the Wayne Group rule the world long ago?"

"So. You want money?" the older leader asked Bruce, looking at him.

"It's not that I want money." Bruce repeated, "It's you who want permission, so you can only get permission by investing in me."

"Otherwise, you can also try to use violence. As long as you can blow up the building, it will be fine. However, I have to remind you that the defense system is automatic and not controlled by me. Although it will not kill people, it will also kill people." Use radical means to subdue dangerous elements."

"As for energy and ammunition, you don't have to worry. All the weapons in the defense system use energy, there are no physical bullets, and the energy is provided by my newly developed reactor, which is almost unlimited."

"Bruce Wayne! You're such a bully!" Lawrence said, raising his voice.

"As I said, there is room for negotiation on this matter. This is only the first and second phases of the project, and there are dozens or even hundreds of phases to come. If you must intervene, then invest."

Bruce shrugged, remembering Schiller's explanation to him before, so he put on a very typical capitalist face, and he said: "I have said it all, I am a businessman, and my purpose is only one, and that is make money."

"I will choose to transform Gotham City just to make better money. For this reason, I have to control them first, so that they can help me make money, so I am willing to invest regardless of cost to improve buildings and transportation. "

"If you also want to earn this money, it is impossible not to invest a penny, so why should I share the money I earn with you?"

"What kind of investment do you accept?" the elder leader asked, obviously, he also saw the astonishing profit behind Bruce's transformation.

To put it bluntly, it is impossible for other people to know that Bruce really wants to benefit mankind, and they would not imagine that this playboy is such a great person.

They only think that Bruce has invested so much, and he will definitely get amazing returns, and then think about his plan...

It was easy to find out that Wayne planned to kidnap people in the whole city. As long as everyone lived in his house and used his road, they could only be at his mercy, and they had to pay as much as they asked.

How much money can the residents of Gotham City squeeze out?Just thinking about it, even the members of the Twelve Family, who are not short of money, feel burning in their hearts.

Gotham is much richer than some small countries, and as long as one can become a powerful leader in a small country, the wealth that can be exploited is unimaginable.

If you only regard this as an investment, should you invest in it?
The heads of all the families looked at each other, and Bruce scanned the whole field, and said in a timely manner:

"You can think about it, the Wayne Group is always looking forward to your presence."
