Chapter 368 Enclosure (Third update, please subscribe)

For the whole world, the outbreak of the Berlin crisis even meant the beginning of a war, and a war was about to break out.

Those men who had just thrown away their military boots and returned home to deal with their wives were all sighing and rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find the discarded boots. The women were also full of complaints, complaining that their husbands were reckless in dealing with them - —It seems that they want to pay all the public rations for the next few years at once.

Of course, there are also some women who are looking forward to their husbands leaving. After they leave, they can indulge in bar dances and all kinds of men every day as they did in the past.

But everyone knows it anyway. The war is about to break out, and Ansheng's life is about to end...

In the days that followed, the world watched Berlin and the crisis.

Newspaper headlines were also occupied by the Berlin crisis, such as Allied Commander Clay ordering the army to use force to open ground passages, and news about the outbreak of war again.

True and false news fills the front pages of newspapers. Especially when Truman delivered the "We Remain in Berlin" speech and ordered the use of air transportation to break the blockade, the risk of war did not decrease, and even increased.

It is simply a joke to use air transport to ensure the daily needs of nearly 2.5 million Berliners. War with the Soviet Union is the only option.

At this time, the troops who were retiring began to postpone their retirement, and both the United States and Britain were preparing for the final situation.

"B29 bombers loaded with atomic bombs have also arrived in the UK. Once the Russians launch an attack, President Truman will immediately order the dropping of atomic bombs on 70 Russian cities and industrial centers to destroy its war potential..."

Reading the news in the newspaper loudly, Grace looked at Paige who was a little distracted and said.

"Oh my God, there's going to be a war! Do you think so?"

"Ah, what did you say?"

Paige wondered, obviously not paying attention to what her sister was saying.

"I mean, sister, you need... to start a new life!"

Grace glanced at her sister and said.

"You have been divorced for four years. Now, you need to start a new life, not alone."

My sister got divorced four years ago and moved to New York.

"I……"

Paige thought for a moment and said.

"You're not alone. I have Jason's."

Jason is her son, now four years old.

When she mentioned her son, Paige had a bright smile on her face. As she chuckled, her eyes fell on the newspaper nearby. There was a big photo on the second page of the newspaper. What was the title of the news? , she didn’t notice that in those eyes, only the person in the photo remained.

That guy is actually a king!

Thinking of the chance encounter in Havana and on the train, the corners of her mouth raised 66.6 degrees while holding the coffee cup.

I actually "femalely vote" for a king.

Grace said after noticing the change in her sister's expression.

"Paige, are you...in love...no, no."

Grace shook her head and said.

"No, you are not in love, you are... my god, you won't meet that damn guy again!"

Standing up suddenly, Grace said excitedly.

"I tell you, Paige, you must not be fooled by a guy like that, okay? He didn't come forward even when you were pregnant. My God, I really don't know what you fell in love with that guy. Yes, he is a coward, a coward. If he really loves you, how could he let you bear everything alone..."

Looking at her somewhat excited sister, Paige just looked at her innocently and waited until she finished speaking before speaking.

"Grace, I said, he doesn't know. Besides, it's enough for me to have Jason!"

Yes, just having Jason is enough.

As for that king... she doesn't care about it at all, but only God knows. Every time in the dead of night, she always thinks about the experience on the train, the powerful impact and the unforgettable peak moment, like It was burned into her body like a branding iron, and into her soul.

It only left a deep mark on her soul. And he also gave her a gift - a child!

Even though her children were one of the reasons for her divorce, she never regretted it.

Seeing her sister biting her lips and looking blurred, Grace couldn't help complaining. "Peggy, my dear sister, I really don't know how you could fall in love with such a coward?"

But she was really curious, who was the coward?

……

"Ah!"

The inexplicable sneeze made Li Yian couldn't help but rub his nose and muttered to himself.

"Did the wind blow last night?"

The reason he said this was because Elizabeth came. She flew from Los Angeles to New York, and then moved into Li Yian's home. In New York, Li Yian still has a home. It is not big, but it is very warm and full of memories.

You should never doubt how crazy a little girl who knows how to eat marrow and taste can be. Being able to fly to New York is enough to see how crazy she is.

"This little girl..."

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Li Yian chuckled. The car had already reached East River Avenue. No, it should be called Franklin D. Roosevelt Avenue now. People may be a little unfamiliar with it, but soon a building under construction came into view. In sight - the United Nations Building.

That building was a free gift from Rockefeller and was worth $850 million!

The land for the United Nations headquarters is in East Manhattan—a run-down place. There are many slaughterhouses, a railroad towing barge terminal, and a light industrial area. It is precisely because of Rockefeller's donation that East Manhattan developed rapidly in the following decades. Land prices here have also skyrocketed.

Well, many people think this is Rockefeller's investment. Li Yian doesn't know whether he invested, but three years ago, Li Yian bought a large piece of land here, and now its land price is rapidly increasing in value.

But this is not worth mentioning among Li Yian's many investments. It is just a small investment. Where is the real investment?

On the banks of the Hudson River, two cars were parked on the shore. Under umbrellas, Li Yian looked at the United Nations Building in the distance and said.

"Carl, do you see that building?"

"United Nations."

Carl said with a smile.

"When you asked me to buy this land, I never thought that one day there would be a United Nations building nearby. Your Majesty, maybe you can really predict the future. Otherwise, how would you know that Rockefeller would give away that land? What about the United Nations?”

"That's not important, what's important is..."

Li Yian, who was sitting on a folding chair, looked back at the land behind him and said.

"This land will be the beginning of our entry into the real estate market."

"real estate market?"

Karl couldn't help but be surprised.

"Your Majesty, haven't we already entered the real estate market?"

The reason why he has such questions is because he is now the general manager of a real estate company.

Of course we have to get into real estate again...this is a bit confusing.

Li Yian shook his head and said.

"It's not me, it's you."

Looking at Karl, Li Yian smiled.

"The real estate market I need you to enter is different from the past. It starts here, but what we want to build is not just houses, but buildings, and of course houses."

"Residence? You mean apartment?"

You can only build high-rise apartments in this place. Otherwise, the cost will definitely not be recovered. After all, the land here is very expensive now.

"Yes, it's residential. In the future, the United Nations will have tens of thousands of staff working there. They are all senior officials from all over the world. They will definitely not live in the shabby houses where workers live in East Manhattan. They need senior officials. Apartments, high-end housing, this is our opportunity, right here..."

Li Yian smiled.

"We will provide the best living environment for those bureaucrats, and their arrival will turn this place into an extremely prosperous business district. By then, the land prices here will definitely skyrocket."

Then he pointed his hand elsewhere and said.

"Not just here, but also other surrounding land. The value of these lands will double in the future. All we need is to make these lands ours!"
