In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 849: Savage’s bad luck (Part 2)

"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"

As autumn gradually entered, the temperature in Gotham began to drop, and it was extremely cold in the morning, but the meeting room on the top floor of the Wayne Building was full of gang bosses in suits and leather shoes.

Bruce stood at the front and said: "I'm sorry, but Wayne Group only accepts cash investment..."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, and Lawrence immediately stood up and said, "Wayne! Are you kidding us? How can city and transportation construction only accept cash investment? Don't you need raw materials and transportation costs?" ?”

Bruce cleared his throat and looked down at the document in his hand. In fact, nothing was written on the document, and the technical information was all in his mind, but he still pretended to be facing the staff team I read the same speech as I wrote:

"Don't be impatient, everyone. I only accept cash investment for a good reason. The reason is that the construction level of the Wayne Group has reached a technical fault. The raw materials and transportation costs you can provide, In our opinion, it is not worth mentioning."

"You can take a look at the TV screen, which shows the raw materials used by our company in the first phase and second phase of the project. All the parts marked with the Mold Lake logo involve technical secrets..."

There are a lot of professional and technical terms on the screen that the leaders of the twelve families can't understand at all. Unfamiliar English words can only be guessed by root affixes, and the words, roots and affixes of most professional nouns are also difficult to understand. It's relatively uncommon, if you don't know it at all, you can't even guess it.

Bruce raised his voice and said: "As you can see, the materials I used to build the house are not ordinary concrete and steel bars. The structure of the whole house is integrated, which is earthquake-resistant, fire-resistant, and even tsunami-proof. "

"The raw materials you can buy in the market, the workers you can hire, and the engineers you can recruit can't participate in this kind of construction, because their technical level is not enough, and it is much worse."

"Now. Only Wayne Group's production line can produce similar buildings, and those defense systems can only be used on such buildings, otherwise. A laser cannon hit the past, and a big hole was punched in the floor. The building has collapsed, so why should I build it?"

Bruce spoke very confidently, and pointed directly at the core. He didn't worry about the amount of investment, but said directly that you don't understand my technology, so you don't even have to think about investing in technology or production line materials. The only way to get involved is to invest money.

Originally, the leaders of the twelve families were not short of money, especially the sum of the twelve families, the funds injected could give the whole project a shot in the arm, but unfortunately, they just spent a lot.

Although the price of those rare collections sold by Savage is very low, it is also based on its market price. It doesn’t matter how much the original works of the Renaissance, Van Gogh, and Monet in their heyday can be worth. On the basis of this price, even a discount of 10% is very expensive.

Besides, Savage doesn't just sell one or two pieces. From oil paintings to sculptures, from antiques to rare and precious stones, his collections are all in scale.

He was in a hurry to cash in, and the discounts were very ruthless, and the amount was very large, so the Twelve Families took them all away. As a result, after this wave, the liquidity in their hands bottomed out.

Everyone is hoarding collections, intending to buy at low prices and sell at high prices. Some people still want to collect for themselves, and the liquidity in their hands can only be maintained at a safe line.

At this moment, they realized that the construction plan that Bruce made threatened their fundamentals, and at the same time realized that as long as they could participate, the rewards in the future must be amazing.

But Bruce only wants cash, and now the leaders of the twelve families are a little uncomfortable, should they protect their heads or their buttocks? This is an eternal question.

After the meeting, the heads of the various families squeezed each other and filed out of the conference room, all talking in low voices.

"I just got an authentic painting of Van Gogh two days ago. The appraiser of the auction house I know told me that as long as the auction process is completed, the minimum amount is at least this amount, but if it is sold privately, it will be difficult to save money... ..."

"Who isn't? Didn't I also buy two sculptures? The appraiser also said it was true after the appraisal, but if you don't go through the auction process, you won't be able to sell at all..."

"Even for an expedited sale, the price has to be lowered. If they lower the price by 10%, it will cost millions of dollars. Who would be willing?"

"But this **** Bruce just wants cash, you think his project probably didn't cover the whole city so quickly?"

Lawrence coughed and said, "If I want to see it, we'll just delay it and make trouble for him from time to time, and talk to him when we have money in hand."

"I think so too. The art market is pretty good recently. As long as I can go to the auction house, it will only take a year at most, and I will have money again."

"Yes, everyone is the same. Since everyone has no money, there is no need to worry about them taking the first step and leaving others behind. We will unite and drag him until we have money?"

The leaders of the twelve families exchanged opinions, and they all felt that there was nothing wrong with this method.

This is also very common in the business field. If you don't have enough liquidity in your hand, but you want to win this project, it is nothing more than a word of "delay", if there is a competitor. Just make a little trouble, wait until you have enough money, and then make a capital investment.

But Bruce, who walked out of the meeting room, knew that he had won this battle.

Actually, the biggest difficulty of the Gotham renovation plan is that once the core interests of gangsters are touched, they will be united. Violent resistance, and once the gangs start fighting, it will endanger a lot of people.

Bruce's biggest goal is to eliminate violent conflicts as much as possible, so as not to turn into a city-wide war.

Before, the anesthetics given to the gangsters were relatively easy to use, but in the end, the Twelve Families would definitely react, and at this time, they needed to use the knowledge of psychology and behavior.

When people make investments, they all hope to maximize their income, and the lower the buying price, the better. Therefore, when Savage began to sell his collection at a low price, Bruce handed the olive branch to the head of the twelve families , they naturally picked up.

At present, there is no sign of a collapse in the art market. The experts they invited came to the same conclusion after analysis. As long as those precious collections can be obtained from Savage at a low price, it is equivalent to Add value to their family assets.

However. Assets and working capital are different. What they pay now is working capital, and what they add is estimated assets in the future.

At that time, they made the right decision, because at that time, they did not need so much liquidity.

But Bruce just asked them to pay more working capital at this point, and turned this matter into an investment.

If you don't have money, you can't invest. This is a fact that everyone recognizes. If you don't have money, you can't blame me for not taking you. Bruce stands firm from the perspective of axiom.

The members of the Twelve Family will adopt the procrastination strategy, which is also based on the fact that Bruce is a businessman who wants to recover costs and earn profits. In their view, Bruce cannot invest unrestrainedly. Since you want their investment, you can naturally be held back.

But this is exactly what Bruce wants. What he wants is this one-year buffer period. The Twelve Family can rely on this year to make money, and so can he.

The reason why he was anxious to use the money before was that he planned to build everything in one go before the gangsters reacted, so as to prevent them from reacting halfway and violently counterattacking.

But since they plan to procrastinate, Bruce will procrastinate with them. It will also be a year. Batman's money-making speed is not at the same level as others. Bruce is sure that he can earn more than half of Gotham in one breath. Funding for renovations.

After a year, the Twelve Families who have regained their working capital will find that what they are facing may be a half-terminator, Batman with full firepower, and it is only a matter of time before he buys the earth.

It can be said that this injection of anesthetic was not given to them by Bruce, but by them themselves.

The leaders of the Twelve Families want both. They want to increase the value of their collections and make money lying down, and they also want to participate in Bruce's investment and completely control everyone in Gotham.

So, they failed to be that decisive, the gecko cut off its tail, broke the boat, sold the collection urgently, took out funds to enter the market, and played a game with Bruce.

In the final analysis, interests still touch people's hearts.

"That's what I said, we can use their lack of long-term vision to make a game..." In the office, Schiller smiled and said: "The price they got for those collections is too low, so the profit margin Too big, this is very sure that they can get the money in hand, and they will not be willing to give up."

"But at the same time, they were reluctant to bear the future you mentioned, and failed to see your fundamental purpose, so they made the choice you wanted most, that is, not to raise their guns to resist, not to violent conflict, Instead, it has been peacefully dragged on for a year, with both sides taking all."

Bruce rubbed his fingers lightly and said, "One year..."

He shook his head and sighed softly. Alberto turned his head and looked at him. He knew that Bruce had learned almost all the knowledge in this world in just 20 years. An unbelievably long time.

"Don't forget our agreement." Alberto said: "The Twelve Family is just a dog raised by my father, maybe he will have a few words of emotion, but I am different, I just want to move forward in the new era .”

"Aren't you afraid that he will average you?" Schiller asked.

"I don't intend to just stay in Gotham, that's not the end of the Falcone family." Alberto looked down at the watch on his hand and said: "My father wants to go back to Italy to retire~IndoMTL.com ~Maybe one day, Wayne really rules the world..." Alberto glanced at Bruce and said, "Then maybe we can go further afield, you don't mind, right?"

Bruce turned to look at him and said, "Your father spent forty years establishing the order of Gotham. If you want to surpass him, Gotham is indeed not your end..."

Alberto stood up, looked at Bruce and said, "Actually, I don't care at all whether the people here are doing well, I don't care what the end of the Twelve Family is, and I don't care when the gang will perish. The same is true of the godfather..."

"In that era, he tried his best, and it didn't matter whether he succeeded in the end, because he knew earlier than you that the road is not won by those who reach the end."

Before Alberto left, he turned his back to Bruce and said, "He also asked me to tell you that he doesn't like this sentence, because it sounds like an excuse that a coward came up with to give up running to the finish line."

"Bruce Wayne, the godfather says you're not a coward...you better not be."

Bruce sat silent for a long time, and then he asked Schiller: "Do you think I will change?"

"People change." Schiller paused and replied.

Then he said, "You might as well ask your housekeeper about that."

Bruce leaves in silence while Schiller looks out the window.

The rich greenery is fading, and the most luxuriant vitality in summer is gradually fading along with the autumn wind. The red color of maple leaves is like the blood of the earth, telling everyone in the midst of great changes that autumn in Gotham is coming.
