Chapter 418 The Problem of Building a Wonder on Manhattan Island

"...He looks really happy."

Banquet hall of Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Manhattan, New York.

In the corner of the hall, on the sofa in the rest area.

The mayor of New York, and the chairman of Smith Capital.

The two were surrounded by several bodyguards, sitting in a sofa booth and talking softly.

The speaker is Mr. Mayor.

Bloomberg's eyes were looking at Ted Lerner, who was beaming in the distance and talking loudly with many people.

He smiled and said the above sentence to Abel.

Opposite Bloomberg, Abel held a wine glass filled with Pinewood Chenin Blanc Viognier white wine produced in the Napa Valley region of California.

If it hadn't been for a good father, Ted Lerner might have been one of the many homeless people on the streets of New York.

Abel opened his mouth silently, not knowing what to say.

Even if he is not a real estate businessman, Bloomberg knows this.

This is too embarrassing and unladylike.

Maybe even better.

European luxury goods seem to be more high-end than American ones, and are more popular among wealthy people.

Raising salaries and benefits is very common in the United States, because every few years, trade unions in various industries will come out to cause trouble and demand increased compensation.

I just can’t bear to make less money.

Especially Abel, to build a spectacle in Manhattan.

The wine grapes produced in certain places, coupled with the rich flavor technology, can also produce wines with quality that is not inferior to that of old Europe.

It's just that my daughter has become someone else's mistress. There's nothing to be arrogant about.

What should we do? A salary cut?

no.

Abel smiled slightly and said: "I know there is a country. They have always been very attached to the US dollar. They attach great importance to Americans' opinions of them. As long as we make good use of this, maybe we can let them make a lot less money.

Willing to work for us."

"I have an idea that is not very mature. If I use this idea, I may be able to keep the cost to a minimum."

Because apart from the project itself.

But even though the New York government pushed hard, it took almost three years to barely succeed.

Looking at Abel with a helpless expression.

"I'm just giving it a try. It's not necessarily true if it doesn't work." Abel smiled.

This is true for things like wine, just like luxury goods.

Abel knew that Bloomberg was talking about the Hudson Bay City Plaza in Manhattan.

Bloomberg took back what he was about to say.

"Forehead……"

Just like those luxury goods.

The entire Hudson Yards will also have surrounding supporting facilities, subway line reconstruction and other key municipal projects.

Abel said softly: "It is impossible for Lerner Real Estate Group to undertake such a large project. Some of the small projects within it can be left to him."

The land in Hudson Bay involves hundreds of owners, large and small.

Before Abel could speak, Bloomberg beside him said with a smile:

So much so that it cannot be sold at a reasonable price, and even its own people do not recognize it.

This is just the value and investment of the project itself.

This was followed by Hawaii at $56,240, Massachusetts at $53,230, New Jersey at $52,220 and Alaska at $50,450.

"You mean... to use those 20% of high-paid American workers to deal with the dissatisfaction that may arise from other construction workers in the United States?"

The New York City government is responsible for about half of it, mainly those municipal facilities.

"I have learned about it." Abel said softly: "A large-scale real estate project. In terms of construction materials and tools, while quality is required, the cost is almost fixed and the fluctuation is relatively small."

Abel felt that it tasted much better than Romanee-Conti and 82 Lafite.

A real estate project with a construction cost of US$2.1 billion.

Abel chuckled in response to Bloomberg.

Added together, the total investment may reach hundreds of billions of dollars.

Abel said: "My idea is to replace 80% of the tens of thousands of workers who need to be used with cheap foreign workers. Then the remaining 20% ​​of American workers' compensation will be increased to the original salary."

An increase of 20% on the basis.”

“So in terms of cost, we must ensure quality while keeping costs at the lowest possible level.”

"There are still several months. This matter is really important and needs to be considered in the long term. Moreover, maybe we can save more money while ensuring quality."

Bloomberg smiled.

Capitalists can tolerate anything.

Bloomberg is not a fool, he can achieve what he has achieved now.

Capitalists are not afraid of them, but Bloomberg is not just a capitalist.

3% also has $2.1 billion.

In areas such as Arkansas, which is the least developed, the numbers will be lower.

"I think we can now start discussing who will complete the construction work of this project. This is a super lucrative deal, which is enough to attract any real estate company."

The construction workers in New York do get quite a lot.

There is no doubt that Mr. Mayor will also invest in it.

Let alone 5% of the entire project.

Annual salary exceeds $70,000.

The gorgeous blond girl greeted Abel with a bright smile through the bodyguards.

It's so hard work, so it's normal to get a little more.

"It should be something to be happy about." He took a sip of white wine.

Mr. Mayor smiled and looked at Abel with interest.

But not many businessmen are willing to develop it.

"In his own field, Ted has indeed done quite well. This is something he should be happy about."

"Workers' compensation?" Bloomberg frowned. "You want to operate on this?"

"This is really a good thing." Abel said with a smile.

"Then what are your thoughts? Who will be responsible for it? Or in other words, which real estate construction companies will be responsible for the construction. One or two real estate companies will never be able to handle such a large project. Like Mr. Lerner, he is the most

That means we can only afford about 3% to 5% share.”

There are also some poor people who are currently receiving relief.

He is particularly attentive to this aspect.

Of course it is impossible for capitalists to increase their wages.

If others try to get involved in the project, they are taking advantage of Bloomberg.

But in New York...based on the average, this number increases by at least 50%.

The construction took a long time.

Thinking this in his heart, William Hearst smiled and said:

"When children grow up, who knows what they think? We elders naturally find it difficult to control this. Ikana is so good, I think Ted, you should also have such troubles."

Among these owners are super giants such as Morgan and Rockefeller.

"You don't want to take a pay cut on this, do you?"

Since wages cannot be lowered, capitalists will directly choose to lay off workers...or simply go bankrupt.

Seeing Abel's calm smile, Bloomberg also laughed.

Bloomberg pondered for a while, then nodded slightly:

From this naming method, we know that the Hearst family is also a pure Ansa.
