My days as a landlord in Gotham

(Jiu)

"I haven't smelled such clean air for a long time."

By the sulfur pools of Yellowstone Park, a terrifying abyss is opening its mouth, as if to swallow everything in the world.

The abyss is not dark, but countless magmas are churning below, and there are countless innocent souls screaming there.

A naked|naked strong Caucasian man stretched out his body, a body as perfect as an ancient Greek god.

If you didn't notice the horns on his head and the hooves on his feet, maybe you would think how could there be such a perfect body in this world?

Yes, he does not belong to this world.

He looked at the abyss in disgust, snapped his fingers, and then the abyss closed, as if it had never appeared before.

He walked across the sulfur pool slowly, and then looked at a pair of wild mandarin ducks beside the sulfur pool that were scared to death by him, he sneered, and then a ball of fire appeared in his hand, and he burned the bodies of the two people.

He put on the clothes the man had dragged and threw aside, and walked towards the pickup truck the man had left behind.

"I remember I used to learn how to drive a car."

The man fiddled with it, and the car was started.

"I heard that my good brother opened a very good bar in Gotham City, I should go to congratulate him.

After all, we brothers in hell haven't heard from him for a long time, so he should be very happy to see us, right? "

The incident at Yellowstone didn't seem to stir up too many people, other than to make some geologists nervous.

After all, below Yellowstone Park is one of the largest magma pockets in the world, and this magma pocket has become closer to the surface in recent years and has become active.

If this magma pocket erupts, Yellowstone Park will instantly become the world's largest super active volcano.

According to estimates by geologists, once the Yellowstone Park supervolcano erupts, the world will fall into a long winter of two to five years, and it is not impossible that the North American continent will be split into two or more landmass.

The violent and abnormal vibration just now made all geologists mistakenly think that the Yellowstone super volcano is about to erupt, but this vibration soon disappeared. What is even more surprising is that the activity of the magma pocket has also dropped a lot. Yellowstone Park The danger level of the super volcano dropped a lot in an instant.

Geologists don't know how to explain this phenomenon, they can only think of it as a "natural mystery"

The.

"Let's report a piece of news that sounds like good news."

Li Lei turned on the TV station, and the channel happened to be on the ABC TV network. At this time, the ace morning news program "Good Morning America" ​​broadcast on the official ABC TV network was different from the serious evening news programs. Most morning news programs in the United States are Relaxed, and most of the news broadcast is "soft news" that focuses on sports, entertainment and life and health

Mainly.

Even the live broadcast room of the morning news program should have more lighting, and the color tone should be more lively and relaxed; naturally, the hosts rarely use senior anchors like evening news programs, but most of them are young anchors with handsome men and beautiful women.

The handsome male anchor said in a very exaggerated tone, "Actually, at midnight last night, a very important event happened in Yellowstone Park, and our earth almost exploded.

According to the news received by our station, at around 0:11 in the morning, the Yellowstone National Institute of Geology suddenly detected a very violent geological change, which made the left-behind researchers mistakenly judge that the Yellowstone super volcano was about to erupt.

But this change disappeared after only 3 minutes, and what made the researchers even more puzzled was that with the disappearance of this change, the Yellowstone super volcano actually began to stabilize.

It can be said that the sword of Damocles hanging over the United States and the world will not harm us for the time being. "

"The breakfast prepared today is a bit simple, fried dough sticks, soy milk and steamed buns."

Seeing that Hamada Hiroshi and others had already gotten up, Li Lei said with a smile.

"It seems that our family hasn't prepared this very traditional Chinese breakfast for a long time, so I decided to change my appetite today.

In addition, today we also need to attend the press conference for the release of the first single of 'The Enchantress', and there will be a celebration party in the evening.

Jason and Adam can attend the press conference, but not the celebratory party.

At that time, I will let a simulated robot act as your nanny to accompany you at home.

Of course, you also know that I am here to cope with the inspections of neighbors and the police. As compensation, I can allow you to play games and watch videos online, but the Red Queen will monitor whether the content you browse exceeds the standard. "

"It's okay, I'm going home after the press conference, I'm not that interested in parties."

Hamada Hiroshi replied, "So the party at night can only be hard for you to deal with those weird people.

Heihu's performance this time is still satisfactory, right?

I think the energy system can be further improved. I think I should introduce an auxiliary energy system to ensure that the black tiger will not enter the automatic lock state after the energy is too low due to some people's reckless operation. "

"Well, I admit that I was really controlled by anger at the time. I promise that I will listen to the reminders of the artificial intelligence assistance system in the future."

Li Lei knew that Hamada Hiroshi had a problem with his excessive use of Black Tiger last time. After all, Black Tiger did not test many times, and many designs were not necessarily stable.

As a result, as soon as I got started, I went straight to the big move, and all the bugs that needed to be repaired in the Black Tiger system broke out at once, which immediately increased the labor intensity of Hamada Hiroshi.

After breakfast, the public relations specialists, makeup artists, costume artists, hair stylists and styling consultants hired by Li Lei's assistant all came to the door one after another, along with them came the clothing, shoes and accessories provided by the public relations of various brands.

Knowing that Horizon Technology Group will have a major press conference and celebration party today, brand public relations are of course happy to expose their own brand.

The fashion industry should be the most realistic and snobbish place in the entire entertainment industry. There are not enough cafes, let alone borrowing big-name clothes, and they are not even willing to rent them to you; Yes, want to change the size?

no problem!

Want to change accessories?

no problem!

Want an exclusive first wear?

no problem!

Although Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi are not superstars in the entertainment industry, they are wealthy upstarts and technology giants!

And people want to be tall and tall, and they want to have good looks.

"Variety Show", "People", "Vanity Fair" and other front-line entertainment publications are very keen to choose the two as their covers.

And this press conference is definitely going to grab the headlines. It would be foolish for major brands to take this opportunity to expose together.

So when Li Lei's assistant wanted to choose clothes, the marketing directors of each brand had packed all the products that hadn't been released in the current season and stuffed them in one go.

Now these have been carefully selected by Li Lei's styling consultants, but Li Lei's already quite spacious living room is still slowly stuffed.

After three hours of waiting, Li Lei and others appeared at the press conference with radiant faces.

For the "Demon Girl" launched by Horizon Technology Group

Combination, the current market feedback is pretty good, but it has not yet become a hit.

Li Lei was somewhat dissatisfied with this. In Li Lei's view, with the support of such black technology, if Horizon's products are only acceptable, it would be an insult to these technological products.

However, Li Lei also listened to the opinions of the marketing department. There may still be a certain market for Chinese antiques in China, Japan and South Korea, but in the European and American markets, they are almost only a niche favorite.

Therefore, the marketing department hoped that the Yaoji group could launch more fashionable works that fit the taste of modern fashion, so Li Lei temporarily decided to replace Yaoji's first single with an electronic dance song. The physical record of the single will also come with a A slow love song in the rhythm and blues style.

In addition to the CD, the single also comes with derivative products such as posters and screensavers.

Since the Enchantress group is a virtual idol, their MV can completely let the imagination of the director and production team fly.

The production of the two MVs really surprised Li Lei. The dance music MV is hot and sexy enough, and the love song MV is pure and cute enough. I believe there will always be a version that people will like.

The press conference mainly introduced Horizon Technology Group's packaging plan for the enchantress, and the subsequent MV release was also quite special, because Horizon Technology built a temporary stage in the center of the venue, and the stage was empty, only the ground and top. Something that looks like a few projectors.

The host of the press conference reminded everyone that for better viewing, the lights need to be turned off.

After the lights were turned off, the lights on the stage were gradually turned on, and various equipment appeared through holographic image technology.

Originally, everyone thought that the single of the Enchantress would be so-called classical music, but they didn't expect it to be a music with a strong nightclub style.

But this kind of music is popular, so what can be done.

Immediately afterwards, the three girls slowly rose up from the ground, as if they were attending a concert.

The three girls hold a rose in their hands, Daji's is a red rose, Xixi's is a white rose, and Baosi's is a green rose.

The three girls threw the roses towards the crowd. To the surprise of those present, the roses actually flew towards them, and when they hit someone, the roses turned into petals and slowly fell.

There are many skilled people at the scene or watching the live broadcast. They know how difficult it is to throw the rose, especially the rose can hit people and break, which means that the Horizon Technology Group has also mastered the holographic interaction technology.

If the above conjectures are true, then the computer that gestures to the air in science fiction movies is not a fantasy.

The two songs released by the Enchantress are available for download in major music source markets around the world. Of course, there are also physical records for die-hard fans to buy.

Since the people who will buy are basically hardcore fans, the price of the regular version and the limited version of the physical single are not cheap, but the gifts that come with it are not ambiguous at all.

All the reporters at the scene naturally received a limited edition physical single.

The celebration party of the Horizon Group would not enter the venue until after [-] pm, so Li Lei asked someone to arrange for Su Daji to rest in the hotel room, while Hamada Hiroshi drove Jason, Adam and others home.

Li Lei went to the technology research and development department to supervise the development of the Magic Detector series. The Magic Detector will be divided into three versions for military use, police use and civilian use.

The civilian version is relatively simple, as long as people with magic approach the detector at a distance of about 5 meters, the detector will trigger the alarm system; the military and police versions have the functions of actively detecting the number, distance and magic strength of magic people. And military use will be more sensitive than police use.

The Horizon Technology Group has developed a civilian version, but the progress of the police version and military version is not good, so Li Lei came to the R&D department to supervise the battle.

Since the opening of the management office, attacks on ordinary people by magic races have shown an upward trend. However, humans still have no way to warn, so the pressure is all on Li Lei's management office.

"About the virtual idol group 'Yao Ji' launched by Horizon Technology Group?

Of course I know. "

Just when Li Lei was participating in the R&D discussion in the R&D department, a reporter from Gotham City TV actually interviewed Oswald Cobblepot.

He is sitting in his favorite iceberg club at this time, tasting veal blanc sauce while accepting interviews with reporters.

"I know that many of you in the media think that I have conflicts with him, because you think that 'one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers', but whoever I have to say, my dream with Ray is to lead the city of Gotham back to its glory days. moment.

So everything I do in the Diamond District and the Fashion District, everything Ray does in the Financial District, and even everything Mr. Bruce Wayne does in Rouge Point is for this ideal.

Of course, Mr. Wayne and I are not that familiar yet, because many media believe that I was the maker or connivance of the tragedy that year.

But today, all the information about the tragedy of that year has been made public, so should I continue to be blamed?

Although I don't think Mr. Wayne and I can be friends, it is a fact that Ray and I are friends.

In order to support my cause, he also ordered a full 1000 cases of red wine from me, and said that he will order red wine from me next year, the year after, and many years to come.

Although I believe that my red wine conquered him, maybe our friendship is also in it?

Italians pay attention to the kindness of friends, so I will support him here.

I have asked my company to purchase 10000 copies of Enchantress' singles, which will be distributed to those who like them for free in our major entertainment venues, and all venues under my name will play Enchantress' songs in public. "

Li Lei turned off the TV in the office, with a thoughtful expression on his face, what made the famous Penguin show his favor to him?

As Batman's official opponent, Penguin's combat effectiveness and survival ability in the Batman series are very strong.

Not to mention Batman, even Batman's partners, and even those who had conflicts with the Penguin because they wanted to fight for Gotham's underground world, failed to kill the Penguin.

On the contrary, Penguin is not only the former godfather of the underground world of Gotham, but also the spiritual symbol of the underground world of Gotham.

But now, such a hero compromised with himself?

Be funny!

Before Li Lei had time to think about Penguin's actions, his assistant reminded him that it was time for makeup.

It's time for the Horizon Technology Group's celebration party soon, and the party will be held in the golden ballroom of the Horizon Hotel in the Horizon Building.

The host of the party is Lux Entertainment Group, which has recently emerged on the East Coast. It has five top nightclubs in New York and has also started "Lux Gotham" in Gotham City.

and "Gotham 13"

Two nightclubs, of which "Gotham 13"

Located in the financial district, it is known as the hotel that urban men and women must visit every night.

Li Lei thought it was the Luthor Group when he heard the name at first, but finally found out that it was the Lux Group, and the company names were not the same.

And it is said that the boss of Lux Entertainment Group is a handsome Spanish man, while their public relations director is a sexy and hot Caribbean woman.

As the host of the party, Li Lei was naturally the first to appear at the party.

When Li Lei arrived, the site was still doing final adjustments.

At this time, Lux, the owner of Lux Entertainment Group, appeared beside Li Lei, and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, I didn't expect that we would meet again here.

So, is there anything we need to adjust to our setup? "

"Would it be funny if I said I've hardly ever been to a club, so I don't have any aesthetic idea of ​​how a party should look?"

Li Lei didn't lie, neither he nor himself seemed to be completely insulated from the nightclub.

"I don't feel like it, I just think you're Asian.

Sorry, I know it's a bit too stereotypical to judge, but my Asian friends seem to be very resistant to nightclubs. "

Lux smiled and said, "They may appear in some quieter jazz bars or country bars, but they rarely appear in electronic music bars or rock bars.

But don't worry, although our party is also the theme of electronic music, the music we choose is mostly slow rock, which won't let your style down here.

The layout style is also futuristic, after all, you are a technology group. "

Li Lei looked at the scene, and found that the main tone was gray metallic, with occasional black and gold embellishments, so it didn't look very vulgar.

And the few songs that the DJ tested on the console were also the kind of songs that are suitable for slow dancing instead of frantic jumping, so Li Lei nodded and said: "I still prefer such occasions.

By the way, the AfterParty can be a little crazy later.

I won't be there, but the staff and their friends will continue to be here.

There will be unlimited supply of wine and snacks at that time, and I can also pay for the overtime expenses of the DJs, dancers and service staff you hired. "

"Wow, Mr. Li is really a considerate boss."

Lux clutched his chest exaggeratedly.

This kind of company-style party is usually held from [-] to [-] o'clock, and the overall style will be relatively dull. To put it bluntly, it is mainly for socializing.

And this real nightclub party usually doesn't start until 11 o'clock, and then lasts until three or four in the morning.

So in order to take care of those who really love to play, there will be an AfterParty of one to two hours after this kind of PR party.

The purpose is to make everyone's emotions high, and then they will not lose their emotions when they go to other nightclubs to renew their stalls.

And Li Lei not only agreed to hold the AfterParty, but also willing to pay extra to delay the AfterParty and provide unlimited drinks.

This hit the minds of all fun-loving people. The top nightclubs are not only expensive tickets, but the drinks inside can make a middle-class drink so much that they need to pay the bill for three consecutive months.

"Don't worry, I promise to make your employees fall in love with you completely.

By the way, Mr. Li, do you have time to come to my shop?

Don't worry, it's not a noisy nightclub, but my first private club in Gotham City.

Piano, fine wine and beautiful women, Mr. Li can come and play billiards with us.

Besides snooker, we also have foosball and darts.

By the way, my club is called 'Zen', and the decoration style is built according to your oriental style. "

"I can probably guess what your style is."

Li Lei said with a smile.

It is difficult for Westerners to distinguish Eastern culture. They will attribute Japanese culture and Vietnamese culture to China. Therefore, when someone wears a hat and kimono and says that he is a Chinese in cosplay, he is really in his heart in cosplay. Chinese people.

Especially the "Zen culture" exported by the Japanese

There is a great market in Europe and the United States, and there are really a few art masters in Japan in the "Zen culture"

It has made a lot of achievements, so the "Zen culture" in Europe and the United States

It is basically Japanese Zen culture, and it is always the dry landscape, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, etc., which is actually quite different from the real Chinese Zen culture.

Especially for Chinese people who go deep into it, they still feel awkward.

"I think you seem to have a great desire to complain about my clubhouse style?"

Lux looked at Li Lei suspiciously.

But he still handed the VIP card of the club to Li Lei, "Whether you complain or not, I still welcome you very warmly."

After chatting with Lux for a while, it's party time.

As the host, Li Lei naturally had to bring his hostess to welcome the guests. Since Li Lei was unmarried, Li Lei's rumored girlfriend Su Daji became the hostess of the party.

Even though Su Daji was the imperial concubine 4000 years ago, her social skills are still very good.

Not long after, many ladies gathered around her.

Li Lei was chatting with the male guests, or talking about the recent economic market performance, or chatting about the social situation at home and abroad.

"Mr. Wayne, welcome to our group party."

Li Lei suddenly found out that Bruce had also appeared, and wondered if Batman would help justice tonight?

But he walked over enthusiastically and greeted with a very pleasant tone.

"Ray, I think we need somewhere to talk."

Bruce said, and then he talked about letting his girlfriend walk around.

Although Li Lei felt it was rude to do so, Li Lei still took Bruce to a nearby lounge.

The people at the venue were not surprised that Li Lei and Bruce had left, because the Horizon Group and the Wayne family had cooperated a lot, and maybe the two had something to discuss in secret.

After arriving in the room, Bruce asked very angrily: "Why did you choose to cooperate with Penguin?

Don't you know that the Copperpot family is the actual controller of Gotham City's underground world? "

"I don't have any deep personal friendship with Mr. Copperpot, and the cooperation with him is only limited to business.

I am not interested in whether he is the boss of the gangster family, I just need to ensure that the money I earn from him is clean. "

Li Lei replied calmly, "Actually, I thought you had already learned to live with the light.

After all, among the top ten private shareholders of your Wayne Group, there are also the Copperpot family, the Falcone family, the Sullivan family, the Moxon family, the Ibanescu family and the Dimitrov family.

Mr. Wayne, you should know the families behind these families, right?

So where are you accusing me of standing?

At least I didn't give them the money I made to do bad things, and what about you and your Wayne Group?

Mr. Bruce Wayne, I hope that the next time you criticize me, you'd better think of yourself first.

Like why did I leave Justice League?

Like why did I choose to work with the government instead of your Justice League?

Do you find the answer difficult?

Simply put, it's nothing more than that we don't agree with each other's ideas.

We used to be able to compromise with each other, but after you find a group of like-minded friends, of course you don’t need to compromise with me anymore.

But you have to know that the two most difficult things in the world are giving me the money in your pocket and giving you the thoughts in my head.

Well, Mr. Wayne, grow up!

You're still Batman anyway. "

After speaking, Li Lei came out of the room.

At the party, Li Lei met many new partners.

What Li Lei needs to ensure is that even after the Wayne Group completely leaves the Horizon Group, the Horizon Group can continue to operate normally.

Although Li Lei felt that the Wayne Group's board of directors would not allow Bruce to go crazy, who could guarantee it?

After all, the thoughts of the rich second generation are beyond the comprehension of a grassroots class like Li Lei.

Just when Li Lei was making new partners at the party, Lux received a call, which made Lux's face change drastically.
