Watching Director Johnson and little Michael’s mother leave, the prison guard turned his gaze away from the car driving off into the distance. As he closed the prison gate, he joked with his colleagues, "Did you see that? This is the privilege of the rich. He was barely inside before he was released, and his wife is so young, younger than his possible daughter..."
The colleague next to him chuckled and shook his head, not saying anything further. People like them can witness scenes that many ordinary people will never see.
So people enter prison with one foot and leave with the other; this has almost beco a norm.
So people enter with such pomp that it doesn’t even feel like they’re going to jail, but rather to receive admiration, which they indeed achieve.
When these people leave, it is equally grand; the convoy coming to greet them outside the prison consists of at least a dozen or even dozens of cars.
Here, you can sotis see local celebrities being beaten by people they look down on outside, being beaten while calling them "dad".
You can also see people who are convicted, freely entering and exiting the prison director’s room and the prison itself.
Sotis, even these prison guards and staff will sneak in so won, turning the prison into a hotel for so people.
After seeing so much, nothing seems surprising anymore. Is it excessive for old n in their fifties or sixties to marry won in their thirties and have teenage sons?
No, not excessive at all. There are things in the prison even more bizarre.
On the other side, after Lynch finished breakfast, he headed to City Hall with Ferrari, taking over the next sports club to revive Sabin City’s sports spirit. If it were just for using the city stadium, Lynch would absolutely not take on this responsibility.
He knows well how difficult it is to operate professional sports and how big the investnt is. Even slightly poorer corporate groups may not afford it, let alone he doesn’t have such capability.
But the rich have their ways to play and so do the poor. Lynch chooses the way of the poor, and his aim is not entirely focused on the usage rights of the stadium, but on acquiring land.
He painted a grand picture for the mayor, so naturally, the mayor and City Hall need baskets big enough to hold these grand pictures.
Just like painting a picture for people like Richard, the first thing needed is the capability to see the picture he painted; without the capability, there’s naturally no chance of seeing it.
Painting a picture seems like a one-sided deceptive language skill, but actually, it is a form of transaction — selling dreams.
Purchasing dreams requires paying a price, which could be simple physical effort or possibly a piece of land.
Not long after arriving at City Hall, Lynch briefly t with the mayor before he hurried off; he’s been very busy lately with never-ending tasks.
Then, Lynch and Ferrari went into the mayor’s office. With the mayor’s greeting and Ferrari being an acquaintance, no one dared to stop them.
Finally, Lynch stood before a huge map. This is a developnt planning map; so parts have been built, so are under construction, and so are in planning.
This map is filled with various large blocks of colors and lines. If you’re not familiar with these things, ordinary people might not even find where their ho is.
Standing in front of the map, Lynch looked at it for a while and then pointed to a piece of vacant land adjacent to the city’s southeast direction, "How about here?"
Ferrari shook his head, "We currently have no future plans to develop towards the Southeast Region; actually, Southwest would be a bit better."
Sabin City is located towards the southern area of the Bail Federation Central South, with a population of eighty thousand, making it the fourth largest city in the state.
City developnt planning often follows several principles: local specialty economy, tourism economy, light and heavy industry economy, labor export economy...
Generally, it focuses around a core for developnt. Sabin City’s core developnt revolves around light industry, and as for why, that’s an issue for the state governnt.
Developing heavy industry requires a comprehensive supporting industry, which eighty thousand people in Sabin City cannot support, lacking the soil to start from scratch. Developing light industry can actually be seen as a decent choice.
Thus naturally, the local city developnt trend and direction must provide services for local pillar industries, essentially aning city developnt mainly aims to serve local pillar enterprises.
Not long ago, about two years ago, Sabin City Hall issued a renovation notice.
To prevent the impact of train arrivals and departures on city residents’ lives and respond to so complaints, Sabin City Hall moved the train station from the urban area to the southwestern direction outside the city.
It seems like this was considered for the sake of the citizens, but actually earlier, companies led by Ristone had already acquired large land pieces in Sabin City’s southwestern direction for basic construction.
The relocation of the train station essentially serves these pillar industries, making it easier for them to transport goods out faster or directly bring in goods from outside without needing transit, right into their warehouses.
Ferrari suggests Lynch to acquire land for his club in the southwestern direction, since the location doesn’t really matter, why not build in places with future prospects?
Even if Lynch wants to sell off later, the land beneath the club alone will be worth considerable money.
Ferrari’s honesty and consideration for Lynch stem from his identity as Lynch’s policy advisor. Since he’s on Lynch’s payroll, it’s natural to consider Lynch’s interests.
Secondly, he hopes in the future, if there’s a chance, Lynch could beco his support.
Ferrari’s words sowhat moved Lynch. After considering a bit, he couldn’t help but ask, "If I build the club in the Southwest, how large an area can I get?"
Ferrari estimated, "About thirty-five acres to forty-five acres; more than that wouldn’t be feasible."
Once the industrial area integrates densely, subsequent factories continue expanding around this high-density industrial sector to save costs, forming an advantageous complentary industrial module.
Products from one factory might not even need to be loaded onto trucks; workers can push carts and deliver them directly to the next factory’s workshop, saving unimaginable amounts of money.
Thus, acquiring land here is not so easy, but now Lynch and the mayor are in a honeymoon phase; if Lynch asks, the mayor is likely not to refuse.
Lynch pursed his lips and refocused on the southeast direction, "What if I take land here, how much can I get?"
Ferrari responded without thinking, "There are no restrictions..."
A region not included in developnt plans for the next five to ten years is seen like a trash heap by current governors.
Five, ten, or more years later, they won’t govern here anymore. Even if there are issues, they beco historical problems. Successors with abilities can solve them happily.
If successors lack abilities, they have enough excuses to placate the public, allowing Ferrari to boast unlimitedly and respond to Lynch.
Looking at the almost endless land outside the small city, people might not have realized a crucial problem: with the war’s departure, a population explosion is imminent soon.
Even though the Bail Federation didn’t participate in the war, it will still face a new population explosion due to peace and financial disasters.
At that ti, this city’s small planning surely won’t constrain Sabin City’s developnt; its expansion will always conflict with the vacant land outside the current city circle.
Then, how will people address themselves?
Lynch couldn’t help but laugh. Ferrari didn’t understand why he laughed, but only Lynch knew.
Because by then, soone might call him "Lynch Half-City".
It sounds simple, but it’s hardcore!
