Chapter 213 213 Do you want to get rich?

 “Oh my God!” The young man looked at a huge ten-story building in front of him, his face was full of shock, and he shouted uncontrollably.

He stood on the street and seemed to see the future. In his field of vision, next to the ten-story building that he had never seen before, a huge fifteen-story building was almost topping out.

 Magnificent five-story buildings line both sides of the street. On the huge side walls, there are spray-painted posters of a beautiful woman posing.

At the top of this poster, the slogan "Welcome to Bunas Street 9" is written in variant characters. As long as you stay in Bunas for two days, no one will know that Bunas Street 9 is the most famous street here. red light district.

To be honest, there are too many buildings here. In just half a year, the number of high-rise buildings in Bunas has risen, more than ten times the original number.

Within a few months, the record for the tallest building has been frequently refreshed. The building that currently holds this record is a landmark building invested and constructed by Datang Group: Bunas Hotel.

The level of luxury of this hotel is simply unimaginable. Celebrities from all walks of life can often be seen here. Many counts and marquises have their own rooms reserved here all year round.

 No way, this is a symbol of strength. If you don't even have a room in the Bunas Hotel, others will easily doubt your financial strength and won't have much confidence in your business.

Of course, the height record of this huge 17-story hotel can no longer be maintained, because now, among the real estate projects under construction in Bunas City, at least 20 projects have made it clear that their height will exceed 50 meters. .

Even among the three projects, the declared heights are all around 100 meters. This kind of height simply cannot exist in other places.

The streets were busy with traffic, and he even saw a novel vehicle that had never appeared elsewhere and could move without relying on horses.

 Such vehicles are so fast that pedestrians have to dodge left and right. The nobles sitting in such vehicles look proud, enjoying the unprecedented convenience brought by new technology.

Of course they will be proud, because only in Bunas can they buy this new means of transportation, but in other places, this thing cannot be bought at all!

 In addition to novelty cars, horse-drawn carriages are still the mainstream transportation choice. Carriages can be seen everywhere in the streets of Bunas, as well as some rickshaws and horses.

 In short, the traffic here is very busy and congested, and the span is large enough. You can even see "mounted policemen" riding tall horses lowering their heads to talk to drivers in cars.

After avoiding a carriage full of goods, he saw groups of children carrying schoolbags walking on the edge of the road.

These children passed by fire hydrants painted red. These fire hydrants were more than three meters high and were completely different from the fire-fighting equipment of later generations.

But being able to see such advanced things in the city is already a magical experience. You know, it's not easy to see this kind of device in other cities.

 Then the young man saw another unforgettable scenery in his panic: a group of confident and incomparably beautiful girls.

 It is not easy to see such groups of girls in other cities, and these girls are actually wearing gorgeous clothes that are rarely seen in other cities.

They talked and laughed, making sounds like silver bells. They all held their heads high, as if the whole world was waiting for them to conquer.

You don’t need to guess that they are students from Bunas Women’s University, which is also another modern university established by the Datang Group.

 Women are not appendages in Bunas. On the contrary, they are another force supporting the rapid development of Bunas.

Among them, some study architecture, some study fashion, some study art, some study mathematics and physics, some study medicine, and some study chemistry... Of course, many beauties in Datang Military Academy study communications. , intelligence, assassination combat and even military command majors.

 There are 170,000 female workers in Bunas, a number that is even more than the number of female skilled workers in the previous Kingdom of Leyte combined.

 Female workers here are responsible for spinning, leather making, chemical preparation and other high-risk, high-intensity and toxic work.

In addition, they are also responsible for childcare, child care, kindergarten, nursing, medical care and other work, which also makes their status in Bunas unprecedentedly high.

Tracy, the fat aunt who used to cook for Tang Mo, is now responsible for managing the women's organization in Bunas. Her job is to help women and help them maintain their rights.

 Under normal circumstances, no one would provoke these independent women. After all, their immediate boss was a ruthless man who cooked for Tang Mo from time to time.

Those who commanded military and political power in Bunas, including Tang Mo's personal bodyguard Weiss, production manager Parker, chief engineer Matthews, chief of staff Loew, army commander Tiger and Redman, who did not Have you ever experienced Aunt Trish’s ultimate secret, “The Trembling Rice Spoon”?

In the sky not far away, there are several hot air balloons floating in the sky. These equipment are used to test instruments - the workers above need to determine the accuracy of certain instruments under different atmospheric pressures. Groups of people passed by this young man from out of town. The young man could tell at a glance that one of them was an Elf.

This elf man was talking and laughing with the people around him, and he was holding a paper bag containing bread, carrots and other vegetables in his hand.

Everything that caught his eye was completely different from other places. Next to the bustling street, there were beautiful dresses on display in the crystal clear floor-to-ceiling windows.

On the top of this clothing store, there is a signature that looks very artistic. The owner of the clothing store is a very elegant old man with a measuring tape hanging around his neck and wearing thick glasses.

To be honest, he has never seen so many shops. There are shops everywhere in the streets and alleys. Some shops are even as big as a building, and they sell almost everything.

 In small shops, the owners are also very enthusiastic. They will promote the products they sell, including fine knives, fine wines and various drinks.

Huge nightclub signs are connected with wires one by one. Many places in Bunas have been electrified, which makes it look more modern and charming than other places.

This place is just like Shanghai in the 1930s. There are all kinds of people living in buildings of various styles. Everyone enjoys the convenience brought by technological progress, but also suffers from the limitations of the times and their lives are not good. life.

At night, the difference between Bunas and other areas will be immediately apparent. The place with electricity is more fascinating than other places.

 Compared to the Royal City or Wolf City, Bunas is simply a city that never sleeps. People here have not heard of the word curfew for a long time, and going out for entertainment at night has become the consensus of people living in this city.

 Cheap pubs provide workers with the cheapest drinks, and roadside stalls selling snacks can see workers who have drunk too much singing and dancing from time to time.

Successful people in suits and ties stood at the door of the splendid entertainment venue. There were more cars and horse-drawn carriages than during the day, parked under the shining neon lights.

Who would have thought that such a prosperous place in the world was still a small fishing port with only tens of thousands of people living there two years ago.

Who would have thought that even larger fleets would not dock here, and the annual cargo throughput was less than 100,000 tons.

 Now, the port terminal here can accommodate the world's largest cargo ships, and the terminal here can accommodate 30 large-scale ships to unload cargo at the same time.

 There are 11,000 people working at the port here. They are responsible for transporting steel transported from all over the world to earn high prices to the Bunas Railway Station built next to the port.

 And these people have to unload more than 50,000 tons of cargo every day. Without the support of shipping, there would even be a famine in Bunas now!

 Countless metals have been transported to Bunas from all over the world. In order to save time, most of the metals transported have been smelted into metal ingots!

In order to produce ammunition, other products, production equipment, wire needs, and strategic reserves, Tang Mo consumes at least 2,000 tons of pure copper every month.

This number does not sound like a lot, but considering the consumption of pure copper in other regions, it is obvious that Bunas's Datang Group is already the largest buyer of brass in the world.

In addition to brass, there is also steel. In order to build warships, produce cannons and other weapons, Tang Mo's steel consumption is exaggerated to a frightening level.

 In addition, in order to build cities, he also used a large amount of steel bars and concrete, which greatly increased the amount of steel he used.

  Today, half of the maritime transport capacity entering Bunas and at least one-third of the land transportation capacity are transporting metal ores. Bunas has already earned the nickname of a Steel City in other areas.

 And Bunas is indeed worthy of this nickname - it may be the first fully modern city in the world.

There are modern water supply plants, a complete sewer design that is constantly expanding, and an electric power system... These things are completely unmatched by other large cities.

 Tang Mo, who created all this with his own hands, has become a myth in many aspects, and his name has begun to spread in many countries.

There is a saying among businessmen: "Want to make a fortune? Go to Bunas! No matter you are a commoner or a noble, you can always make a fortune there. Want to make a big fortune? Go to Bunas! Take everything. Sell ​​it, exchange it for steel and transport it to Bunas! By the way...don't go to the casino!"
