Chapter 357 Autumn in Gordon City
Autumn in Gordon City came earlier than in previous years. The green trees on both sides of the street were unusually tall, and their yellowed leaves rustled in the autumn wind, adding a bit of bleakness to the depressed scene of Gordon City.

This is Gordon City, the former pride of the American-Canada Alliance, the once-prosperous city of steel, the once-vibrant city of automobiles, and the once-full of hope. Now, this former bustling metropolis, But in just ten years, it fell off a cliff and fell into the dilapidated scene it is today.

As early as three years ago, the Gordon City Government declared bankruptcy due to its inability to make ends meet, high debts, and inability to repay the interest expenses of municipal bonds. This is certainly not the first case in human history that a government has declared bankruptcy, but it is a sign of national strength. The first city in the United States and Canada to declare bankruptcy!

And this city, more than ten years ago, was the jewel in the crown of the entire American-Canada Alliance!
Bruce Wayne stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall of the penthouse of the Wayne Building, overlooking the bleak Gordon City in the autumn wind, holding a deep glass filled with ginger juice in his hand, feeling like Gordon City at this moment is full of desolation.

During this period of time, he has been staying in New York, busy with Mr. Melly's funeral and funeral. This is the only place he thinks he can help Meitna Melly, and he is willing to do so, even if So he had to be away from his home in Gordon for more than a week, which he could bear.

But when he returned to his home in Gordon City, he was alone in the spacious penthouse, which made him feel extremely at ease and comfortable, but the troubles that belonged to this place immediately swept across Gordon City like the autumn wind , wrapped him tightly, leaving him nowhere to hide.

Difficulty Is there really only one road in front of me for the future of Gordon City?Otherwise, it can only continue to sink like this?Go dilapidated?
Gordon City Hall, City Council, Capitol Hill, and the newly-elected Mr. President are all seriously considering such a proposal related to the future of Gordon City, which is to lease the public affairs of Gordon City The management right is entrusted to a consortium of enterprises. The alliance government will gradually reduce the appropriation on the basis of the current budget appropriation within 5 years until the consortium of enterprises solves the problem of the cost budget of the entire Gordon City by itself. .

This is an extremely bold attempt in the history of mankind. The management power of a local government is handed over to a consortium of enterprises, and the local government is managed and operated as a private enterprise!
That being the case, the local enterprises in Gordon City represented by the Wayne Group are of course the best choice to do their part, but Bruce Wayne has always had doubts about this and has not been able to make up his mind for a long time.

As a person who deeply loves this city, Bruce Wayne naturally does not want to see Gordon City go down and sink. The ascetic monk lived a life of extreme poverty and self-discipline. After the night fell, he turned into Batman and tried his best to fight all kinds of crimes. People's confidence and belief will change the investment environment of Gordon City, attract new investment and save Gordon City.

But now, he was already feeling a bit physically and mentally exhausted. No matter how hard he tried, Gordon City's vicious crime rate was still at the top of the entire American-Canada League, and it was increasing year by year, showing no sign of turning around.

If Gordon City is really managed and operated by a consortium of enterprises, he may be able to break through some of the current practices, such as strengthening the monitoring of the whole city, purchasing intelligent steel warriors from the Stark Group, and patrolling the streets 24 hours a day, Fight violent crime.

Doing so should be able to reverse the current decline.

Bruce Wayne picked up the glass and took a sip of ginger juice. Although the ginger juice specially made for him looked no different from red wine, in fact, it tasted very bad, even for him, every time With strong willpower, he can finish a glass of ginger juice in one gulp.

Behind him, the sound of the elevator door opening slowly sounded, and the voice of the old butler Alfred Pennyworth sounded somewhat vicissitudes: "Master, Mr. Lei Rui and Mr. Stark have arrived."

"Bruce, I finally discovered that the two of us still have one thing in common, that is, we both like to be alone, don't we?" Tony Stark yelled carelessly as soon as he walked out of the elevator, sweeping around.

The entire penthouse is neat, clean, and spacious. The reception hall in front of you alone has an area of ​​hundreds of square meters. Obviously, the entire apartment cannot be just such a hall. At the other end of the hall , and apparently more room.

Bruce Wayne smiled faintly, did not speak, but turned to the old butler Alfred Pennyworth, and said, "Alfred, would you please serve two drinks for our distinguished guest?"

Tony Stark followed his words, turned to the old butler Alfred Pennyworth, held out his hand to hold him, and said, "Alfred Pennyworth, right! I've heard Having said that, without Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce, the eldest son of the Wayne family, would be a billionaire who starved to death in a mansion, because he not only couldn't take care of himself, but also refused to provide for himself. Find a few more service personnel to increase the GDP of Gordon City!"

This is of course a very bad joke. Alfred just smiled politely, without saying a word, turned and walked into the elevator. Bruce Wayne took a sip of ginger juice and said to Tony Stark: "This Not funny, Tony!"

"I know!" Tony Stark replied very self-aware.

Bruce Wayne called Lei Rui and Tony Stark to sit down, and said to Lei Rui: "Captain, this should be our second meeting."

When he said that, it was equivalent to saying that the meeting at Melly's funeral didn't count at all.

Of course, these words contain a lot of meaning. Tony Stark was a little bit apologetic for Lei Rui, and said first: "Please, Bruce, you don't have to be so repulsive!"

Lei Rui smiled lightly and said, "Tony, it's okay, I know Mr. Wayne will not be the kind of person who is easily persuaded. I thought you were in Wayne Manor, but I didn't expect to see you here, Wei Mister En."

"Wayne Manor is in the outskirts, and it is already in a semi-abandoned state, and there are only some old friends entertained there," Bruce Wayne said in a deep voice, "I thought it was Tony who came alone, so I had to temporarily change to the urban area. It was rushed in this apartment, and I'm sorry to inconvenience you two!"

Before the words fell, even Tony Stark, who has always been careless, changed his face at this time. On the contrary, Lei Rui, who was on the side, was looking at Bruce Wayne with a faint smile. After a while, he Then he said: "Mr. Wayne, to be honest, you have a problem with me, and I don't like your gloomy and depressed style. Wayne Manor is not attractive to me, so I just like Wayne I'm just interested in the Batcave under the manor, where all your secrets are hidden, right! Mr. Wayne, or should I call you Mr. Batman?"

Tony Stark opened his mouth and froze for a moment. Even the old butler Alfred Pennyworth, who had just walked out of the elevator door, trembled all over and froze there while holding the tray. Don't move your feet.

"Wait, Ray!" Tony Stark yelled in shock, "What did you just say? This guy, is that Batman in a clown-like costume?"

The old butler, Alfred Pennyworth, was shocked and filled with emotion. How could this Captain Thunder know so much? !How did he know? !

Only Bruce Wayne didn't seem to change his face, took a sip of ginger juice, stared closely at Lei Rui's eyes, and said: "Captain, this statement is not new, I have heard it a lot, But I never respond, because there is no need. I appreciate Batman's ideas and efforts, but I am not him, Captain!"

"There's no need to act, Mr. Wayne," Lei Rui said lightly, "You and I both know this well!"
