Chapter 2335 Gotham Music Festival (Sixty-Seven)
Chapter 2328 Gotham Music Festival (sixty-seven)
Beibei spent the night reading emails from Schiller.
In fact, the content of the email is not long, and there is no long speech that is difficult to understand. However, some design drawings and mind maps are attached, and each part of the information on these drawings contains a huge amount of information, which led Beibat to build it himself. A document, written a lot of things.
The sky has just dawned. This always gloomy city can only see some sunshine at sunrise and sunset. The fourth cup of coffee placed on the table is slightly cold. The handsome young man finally raised his head and stretched. , yawned.
Ding ding, the phone that was thrown aside rang. Beibao picked it up and said sleepily: "Hello, this is Bruce Wayne."
"Bruce, are you free now?" The voice of Beiba's good friend Rachel came from the other side, revealing obvious fatigue. There seemed to be someone in the background, but it was unclear what he was saying.
"I just finished my work. If you have anything, come to my office and see me. You know the password."
Less than 20 minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Beiba put the plan he had just compiled aside and walked over to open the door. Rachel's tired face appeared outside the door.
What was surprising was that Harvey was following her behind her. Beibao obviously didn't expect Harvey to come. He smiled and hugged Harvey and said, "Why does our busy lawyer have time to come here at this time?"
"He was called here by me." Rachel's voice was a little hoarse as she said, "Regarding the bank robbery that occurred on Central Street, my desk was filled with information from the deceased's family members."
"Dead? I heard that except for the two tellers, weren't all the robbers who died? They seemed to be fighting among themselves..." Beibao closed the door with some confusion.
"That's exactly the problem." Rachel sighed deeply and said, "On human rights issues, even criminals in this country should have their lives protected before they receive a fair trial."
"Usually we turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, and the family members of the deceased don't care too much, but this time it's different. Someone is instigating it behind the scenes."
"For what?" Beibat asked.
"In order to cover up other illegal and criminal activities." Rachel walked over, put a folder on the table and said: "We were making full preparations to prosecute Feconi, and we collected a lot of information about his large-scale drug transactions. Evidence, a case like this suddenly pops up at this time, who do you think is responsible? "
"But family members should go to the police station to protest. Why go to the District Attorney's Office? You are a litigation department, not a law enforcement department. It will be your turn to do the work after the murderer is caught."
"Don't you know?" Rachel looked at Beiba with some confusion and said, "The murderer has been caught."
Bei Bat was stunned. He had indeed just come back and hadn't watched the news, but the previous arguments said that the murderer was the leader of a large criminal organization. How could he be caught so easily?
At this time, Harvey stepped forward to explain the situation. He said: "The previous information was wrong. This guy actually has no organization at all. He just recruited a group of rabble, led them to rob the bank, and told the group to survive. The fewer people there are, the more money they have to share, causing them to fight among themselves and run away.”
"But this guy is not very smart, because the impact of the case was too great. The police department mobilized with all their strength and quickly caught him inside the abandoned factory."
Bei Bat frowned. He felt that the matter was not that simple. He looked at Harvey and said, "Who is the murderer?"
"He calls himself a clown."
Beibao's heart skipped a beat.
"That's a lunatic." Rachel said angrily: "He used chemicals to stain his face, and cut the corners of his mouth. He just laughs crazily no matter what he asks. We all have a headache."
Beibao felt something. He looked at Rachel and said, "There's no way to convict him, right? Because he's a mental patient."
Rachel was a little surprised and said, "How do you know? This is where the pressure we are facing comes from. Some people encouraged the family members of the deceased in the Central Street bank robbery to protest, saying that it should not be so easy to conclude that this guy was a mental patient, and asked him to be responsible for the bank robbery. Responsible for all the deceased.”
"But you will definitely conclude that he is a mental patient." Bei Bat said: "Because the few psychiatrists we have with qualifications have all been bribed."
Rachel and Harvey's expressions were not very good. Beibao made his words very clear, and in fact, the three of them knew who the person who bribed the psychiatrist was.
"This will cause the reputation of the District Attorney's Office to fall again and again." Rachel lowered her arms and said, "This is Feconi's purpose, to make us completely lose credibility, so that no one will believe anything we say."
"When the day comes when we prosecute him, he can get away with this trick. If we want to pursue it, he can use public opinion to fight back. Then we will be the ones slandering good people."
Beibao also lamented that people who have no moral bottom line are full of tricks when doing bad things, and will use all means to attack their opponents. On the contrary, they who follow justice are always bound by rules.
Even if he knew that the results of the mental examination were incorrect and unfair, and that they were completely a weapon used by criminals to get away with their crimes, they could still only follow the process and watch the criminals escape.
What Bei Bat feels now is not anger, but weakness. His emotional receptors are ringing the alarm at this moment. If this continues, one day he will feel numb to it, and then the city will It's really hopeless.
He had to do something. Regardless of whether it was beneficial to his long-term goals, he had to make some progress to express his long-term unwillingness and grievances, so that he would have the motivation to keep going.
Bei Bat turned around and saw the plan he had placed on the other side of his desk, and then looked at the helpless and sad expressions of his two friends. Bei Bat sighed softly in his heart and made a decision in his heart.
"I'm going to buy Arkham Asylum."
Rachel and Harvey, who were talking, both turned their heads and looked at Baybat blankly. Baybat lowered his eyes and said: "This lunatic asylum is too old and cannot meet the needs of Gotham people for treating mental illness. I am going to turn it into a mental hospital." Transforming it into a modern psychiatric hospital like Wayne Hospital may take some preparation time.”
"What?" Rachel asked in disbelief: "What are you going to do? Acquire Arkham Asylum, are you crazy?"
"It's just a business investment." Beiba did not waver at all. He said: "You should understand that my financial situation is not as good as many people think, especially my personal financial situation needs some improvement. I think it is good. investment."
"Are you serious?" Harvey came over and said, "You know that place is more than just a lunatic asylum."
"Yes, but I will turn it into the best mental hospital." Beiba took a breath, reviewed the design in his mind and said: "Advanced, safe, and the medicine will cure the disease."
With a click, the camera closest to Bei Bat recorded his resolute face, and his voice came out clearly and firmly from the microphone until it was relayed by countless screens and reached people's ears.
Major media outlets rushed to report on it. After all, Wayne Group's business strategy and future plans were closely related to the people's livelihood of this city and even the entire East Coast.
No one knows where the young Wayne family heir will lead this huge company. In his first press conference, he emphasized that Wayne Group will reinvest in philanthropy, especially in Canada. Huge investment in research and development in the pharmaceutical field, as well as strategies to improve people's livelihood and medical care.
Most people are not optimistic about this. Although Wayne Group's business covers all aspects, it has little reputation in the pharmaceutical field.
Wayne Group's hospitals are indeed good, but they have nothing to do with ordinary people. Even ordinary middle-class families cannot afford the medical insurance covering Wayne Hospital. It is a paradise for the rich.
However, some people believe that this is a signal that Wayne Group intends to open private hospitals for civilians, but they still have doubts about whether this investment direction can bring sufficient benefits to the group, and shareholders are no exception.
The shareholders meeting rarely lasted for 7 hours, and most of the time was spent discussing whether the new direction brought by Bruce Wayne to the group could stabilize earnings and even achieve development.
Beibat stood at the front of the shareholders' meeting and said to everyone: "I am very aware that you have doubts about the company's development strategy I have formulated. I understand this very well. This is a new attempt for us. "
"But I am not planning to suddenly turn the wheel in another direction without preparation. In fact, the initial investment will be made by me personally to test the market direction. If the model does not work, I will stop the loss in time and will never lose my money." The hard work of parents is thrown into the abyss.”
The debate below was a little quieter, and more people were speculating that this little Wayne would take this path even if he used private investment to explore it. Why on earth did he really see something that ordinary people couldn't see? business opportunities?
No matter what, Beibei still insisted on his strategy. After allocating almost all the liquidity available from his personal assets, the road to acquiring Arkham Asylum was clear.
On the one hand, Beibat does not have this type of assets in his hands and does not need to be investigated by antitrust agencies. On the other hand, some shareholders who support Wayne have also contributed to doing some dirty work that Beibat is not willing to do. Many joints.
After the cold rain stopped overnight, vigorous renovations began in Arkham Asylum. Buildings were renovated, defenses were erected, and staff were replaced. This old asylum, which had gone through many ups and downs in Gotham, finally inevitably embarked on the road to modernization. .
Bei Bat raised the hand that signed the acquisition document, his eyes fell on his signature, the curly English slowly twisted, and the other hand raised the pen. The doctor in a white coat pushed the document in his hand and explain.
"The appraisal reports are all here. There is no doubt that Mr. Feconi and this... er, Mr. Jock, both suffer from mental illness. They are both mentally ill. During the illness, they were unable to control their actions, resulting in symptoms. aggressive behavior.”
The psychiatrist pushed up his glasses, crossed his hands and said, "I'm sorry that the accident happened, but if possible, I'd like to talk about the scope of our medical system and people's understanding of psychology and psychiatry. Cognition.”
Rachel took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, doctor, I'm leaving first."
The doctor smiled and nodded to her. The moment Rachel turned around, her eyes turned cold. She clutched the appraisal report in her hand tightly, almost to the point of destroying the official document.
But God knows how much anger she suppressed to prevent her from actually destroying the official documents. She knew this would be the result. When Rachel walked into the elevator, she closed her eyes tightly.
And in the last few lines of the appraisal report held in her hand, it was written that "patients with hallucinations and confusion symptoms caused by sudden mental illness are often aggressive and uncontrollably aggressive. The treatment recommendation is hospitalization."
