Then she smiled and said: "The ones that are easiest to get and the ones with the largest single area have already been mentioned."

"This next piece of land. I think it may be the one that best meets your requirements."

Ikana pressed the button, and the picture projected on the curtain changed again.

She waved her baton and said, "Hudson Yards, this land is in Hudson Yards."

"In fact, there are many pieces of land in this area. They belong to multiple companies, and some are simply in the hands of the city government."

"There are 31 pieces of land in total. Their total area adds up to more than 10.5 hectares. This is the remaining land available in the entire Manhattan Island.

The largest piece of land developed!"

"The piece of land we are interested in is called [Hudson eb-5] among these sites, and it covers an area of ​​about 76,000 square feet."

"You have to remember that the Empire State Building only covers an area of ​​88,000 square feet..."

"It fully meets your requirements, dear."

"But it's worth a lot. Even though it's far away from Central Park, it overlooks the Hudson Bay."

"The current owner is New York City ***. If you want to get it, you can only go through the auction."

Hearing the last piece of land introduced by Ikana reminded Abel of something.

He remembered it as if he was in Manhattan, a future life in a parallel time and space.

Near Hudson Yards, there is a super-large Hudson Yards plan.

Abel remembered this project and surrounding supporting facilities, subway line reconstruction, etc.

It will even be included in a key municipal engineering project by the New York City Government, and it will be upgraded to a "national interest" priority level by the Department of Homeland Security.

The other Abels don't remember very clearly.

He only remembered that this project seemed to be one of the largest real estate projects in the history of the United States.

It involves the renovation of Hudson Park, Hudson Park and Boulevard, and the renovation of the JAVIS Convention Center.

There are also expansions of sky gardens and even the renovation of a station.

There is also the renovation and construction of a subway line.

But as of now in 2000, this project probably hasn't started yet.

Abel remembers that it was not proposed until after 2010.

Abel also raised this rumor with Ikana and his daughter.

After hearing this, Ted Lerner nodded, "The city government does have such a plan. But its construction cost is too high. The initial capital is at least two billion US dollars."

"No company can afford this alone."

"If the city government doesn't allocate funds, it will take at least ten years to turn this paper plan into a reality."

"It will probably take more than twenty years until it is completely completed."

According to Tedlena's intention, this piece of land pointed out by Ikana.

It is part of the plan that the city government is still planning.

Abel listened to the introduction by Ikana and her father.

To be honest, Abel was very excited about this piece of land.

But what moved him even more was the super plaza project that would appear in this parallel time and space more than ten years later.

In Abel's opinion.

This project has its scarcity——

The only large piece of land in Manhattan, although it is at the southern end and far away from Central Park, the Hudson Bay is right next to it, which gives it the best coastal view.

With this alone, the scarcity is directly filled.

Its only disadvantage is that the project is too large.

The total investment is estimated to be between 10 and 20 billion US dollars to make it complete.

Another reason for Abel's heart.

It's because in parallel time and space, Bloomberg will take office next year.

If the original history were to go by, Bloomberg could even serve in this position for two or three terms.

In about ten years, as long as there are enough funds, it can be built!

Thinking of this, Abel actually had no idea about this piece of land.

He had bigger ideas, he wanted the whole of Hudson Yards.

With this project in front of him, Abel immediately lost interest in other New York land.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

In Ted Lena's somewhat dissatisfied eyes.

Abel took Ikana and left Tedlena Building directly.

In the carriage, Ikana watched him take out the phone and dial.

"Michael? It's me, Abel."

"Yes. Are you free now? How about coming out for a cup of coffee?

"

"Okay, you make the arrangements."

After just one minute, Abel hung up the phone.

Ikana said curiously: "Do you want to find someone to talk to? Then let me go to ykm company."

Although she wanted to go, Ikana knew what it meant to retreat before advancing.

Just as she hoped, Abel smiled and said:

"It's okay, I want to talk to Bloomberg about something. It doesn't matter."

Half an hour later.

Midtown Manhattan, inside a coffee shop.

Abel met Bloomberg, whom he had not seen for more than a month.

The founder of Bloomberg is still the same.

What does it look like?

He looks like an elite old white man.

After a brief exchange of greetings, everyone sat down.

In front of Ikana, Abel asked softly:

"Michael, how are you? Are you ready?"

Michael Bloomberg certainly knows what Abel is talking about.

The founder of Bloomberg looked at Ikana, who smiled at him.

Michael could only smile back, thinking that since Abel could bring her, it should be fine.

It was in Bloomberg's heart that he felt pity for Anne Hearst, with whom he had a somewhat good relationship.

It was obvious that the young man in front of him had little interest in Anne's daughter.

Bloomberg felt that if Abel was really interested in Amanda.

Then it should be Amanda, not Tedlena's daughter, who is accompanying Abel at this moment.

"It's basically settled." After thinking about it, Michael Bloomberg said softly.

Same as Bloomberg.

Abel also knew that what Bloomberg was talking about was that he was about to switch from the Donkey Party to the Elephant Party.

What's more important is that after joining the Elephant Party, he can immediately represent the Elephant Party in the New York general election next November.

"So." Abel said softly, "Michael, are you interested in collaborating on a project with me?"

Bloomberg raised his gray eyebrows and asked, "What kind of project is it?"

Abel whispered, "Hudson Yards."

This word suddenly made Bloomberg frown.

The guy said tentatively: "Abel, what do you mean?"

"A six-block development on the west side of Manhattan."

"The underground is covered with busy railways and tunnels and consists of 11 hectares of land."

"Redevelopment according to residential, commercial and open public space uses."
