Matt didn't answer right away, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. The small law firm fell silent.
After a long time, Matt raised his head and asked:
"You, how did you get Black Fist... no, how did you get the El Building into your own hands?
As far as I know, the bosses of the Black Boxing Gang are still alive and well, and they also occupied the bar on Mingde Street, which was the site of the Black Bear and the Poison Wolf. "
Leo didn't want to explain too much to Matt. After all, brainwashing is too scary to say. So, he said perfunctorily:
"You don't need to worry about how I got the El Building. You just need to help me register the company. Apart from the company name and address, do I need to provide other materials?"
"There are still more materials and proofs needed!"
Knowing that he was talking too much, Matt took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said,
"Mr. Erwin, I'm afraid I really can't help you register a company now. If you want to register a company, you need to provide a lease contract or a title deed certificate for the company's address.
But you also know that the so-called Eyre Building is ownerless..."
"Mr. Murdoch, the Eyre Building has an owner, and that's me."
Leo interrupted Matt and said firmly,
"Although legally there is no owner there, in fact I am the owner there now. I think, as a lawyer, you must have a way to legally obtain the title deed of the ownerless house from the state government?"
"Impossible. In a short period of time, it is impossible for me to obtain the title deed of that house through legal means."
"So that means, you can get the title deed of that house through illegal means in a short period of time?"
Matt does have a way to obtain the title deed through illegal means, and he is not a liar, so he said:
"Although lawyers can understand the loopholes in the law, I will not use this for personal gain, but should use this to help innocent people.
I'm sorry, Mr. Erwin, I won't do anything illegal for you. Please come back! "
In the small law firm, there was a sudden silence, and the atmosphere became solemn.
After a long time, Leo broke the silence and asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Murdoch, I want to ask, how long have you lived in Hell's Kitchen?"
Matt didn't know why Leo asked these questions, but he honestly replied:
"19 years and 2 months. Since I was born, I have never left."
"Very good, it seems that you really love this place very much and have a deep affection for it. However, 19 years later, do you think Hell's Kitchen has changed?
Is there still chaos here, innocent people still dying, vile and murderous people still at large? "
Matt didn't know why, so he wondered:
"What do you mean by these?"
"As you can see, I've only been here for less than a month. However, the Black Bear Gang and the Poison Wolf Gang have been destroyed by me, and the Black Fist Gang has now completely obeyed my command.
So, listen, Matt, I can change that, and change Hell's Kitchen completely! "
"Why do you dare to say that? With your powerful force, can you kill the gangsters one by one?"
This time Matt's reaction was fierce. He frowned, faced Leo, and asked sharply.
Hearing Matt's questioning, Leo was not angry.
Of course he knew why Matt reacted so fiercely. The words "incompetent and furious" are enough to explain his current psychology.
Leo smiled and explained patiently:
"Of course it's not by force. Force can save Hell's Kitchen for a while, but it can't save Hell's Kitchen for a lifetime.
Why is Hell's Kitchen so chaotic? After all, it is because of poverty here! Back here!
It's also in Manhattan, why isn't the place where you go to college chaotic? How come the neighborhoods around the Stark Industries building aren't cluttered?
Because those places are rich people who can pay their taxes on time. In order to protect their patrons, the New York City government has made great efforts to maintain stability there and promote development there. "
This time Matt bowed his head and kept silent. Because he knew that what Leo said was true, that poverty was indeed the source of the chaos in Hell's Kitchen.
Seeing that Matt didn't speak, Leo stopped himself, giving Matt some time to think. After a long time, Matt raised his head and "stared" Leo and asked:
"Why do you say that you can bring hope to Hell's Kitchen? How can you make this place rich?"
"Young man, don't speak so aggressively. Since I dare to say it, of course there is a feasible plan."
Leo first comforted Matt before he said,
"As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, you must build roads first! Cough... That's a bit of a stretch, New York City's road construction is already pretty good...
But the saying does not lie, building roads is indeed very important. But after building the road, how can we get rich? "
Matt shook his head blankly, because he hadn't even heard of that saying at all, and he didn't know what Leo wanted to express.
"After the road is repaired, of course, it will attract rich people! If you want to completely change the status quo of Hell's Kitchen and make Hell's Kitchen rich, you must attract rich people to Hell's Kitchen."
Leo said with the tone of teaching elementary school students,
"As for how to attract rich people, it has to do with the technology company I want to open.
Do you know what the technology company I want to start is going to do? Do chips, high-performance chips! Doing computing speed can throw off dozens of high-performance chips from Intel's latest chips!
You have studied in college, so you should have some knowledge about computers, right? Then you should understand that if the chip I described is really put into the market, it will bring much boost to the entire computer and Internet industries.
When my company starts up, it will be a big hit, and the chips will definitely be on sale!
At that time, my company can not only solve a large number of employment problems for Hell's Kitchen, but also attract a lot of rich people to invest in my company.
In this way, the rich will come, the surrounding economy will be boosted, and the residents of Hell's Kitchen will have more opportunities to make money.
By then, banks, shopping malls, schools, hospitals, these infrastructures will all spring up one by one.
Can you imagine that Hell's Kitchen will not be rich by then? "
Matt was stunned for a moment by Leo. But he did not blindly believe in Leo. After thinking for a long time, he asked a key question:
"I admit that everything you describe does have a certain rationality and possibility. However, the premise of all this is based on the fact that you can really build high-performance chips.
But your description of your so-called high-performance computing chip is so exaggerated that I can't believe it.
Can you really make this kind of chip? You're not lying to me, are you? "
