The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1623 No Time to Die ([-])
For a long time since he met Bruce, Schiller thought that Bruce wanted to be Batman because he saw bats flying through the dark attic on the night of his parents' death, and the remnants of his heart remained in his heart at that time. Fear makes him think that bats are fear personified, and when he becomes a bat, he is able to bring fear to the criminals of Gotham.

But after Bruce graduated, Schiller discovered that there were actually not so many twists and turns, and it wasn't because bats had any special connotations—Bruce just liked bats.

It was also after that that Schiller knew that Bruce had always wanted to raise bats in Wayne Manor, but Aff disagreed. In addition to the fact that this thing might carry germs, it was also because their excrement was too difficult to clean. This is one of the few things Aver would say no to Bruce.

After having the Underworld, Bruce finally realized his dream of raising bats. After all, the buildings here are made of magic and have self-cleaning functions, and no one here is afraid of bat germs.

And because magicians often have to boil potions and draw magic circles, bats can be regarded as traditional breeding animals in the magic world. They have quite mature artificial breeding species, as well as very stable breeding methods and practitioners, so Bruce He funded the reconstruction of the Forgotten Bar, and the Night Master helped him find a group of night elves from the magical world of Maya to help him raise bats.

Perhaps because of some special disturbances, all the naturally occurring urban animals in Gotham understand magic at all, and understand it a little too thoroughly.

After creating a two-story-tall magical spider spirit, a demonized stray cat with eight tails, a stray dog ​​that will turn into a werewolf king on a full moon night, and a demonized sparrow demon with a wingspan of 22 meters. Finally, Schiller and other magicians agreed that Batman's act of raising bats was quite forward-looking and practical.

Of course, bats in ordinary people’s cognition can’t send letters. On the one hand, it’s because they really can’t be trained to gain a sense of space and distance like carrier pigeons. On the other hand, their size is not suitable for carrying heavy objects, let alone pigeons. Such endurance, but these shortcomings are not a problem in front of magic.

Although the bats bred in the magic world were used to extract alchemy and alchemy materials, as long as the wingspan and bone structure are slightly adjusted, they can carry out the work of sending letters, but in order to make the admission notice less monotonous and rigid , Bruce, the world's largest sponsor, brought a lot of private goods in it.

First of all, the bat pattern is printed on the letter paper. The envelope is a variant of the classic bat logo. The wax pattern used to seal the envelope is a combination of the bat and the Wayne family crest. A keychain-sized bat doll is attached to the letter. Made of fur, soft and fluffy.

Bruce made about four versions of bat dolls before. In order to observe the effect of the seal seal, he also customized some badges with the same pattern as the seal. In addition, there are bat stickers, bat flashlights, bat spray guns, bat cookies, bat candies, and even It is bat oil barrels, bat gas tanks and other chemical products.

In short, Bruce tried all the production lines of the Wayne Group and produced a lot of bat accessories. Thomas was very confused by this but had no choice. After all, playing with bat accessories is better than being a bat accessory himself, right?

But soon, Thomas discovered that the positive impact of this incident was more than that. Suddenly one day, Mayor Roy found him and hoped that Wayne Group could establish a special cultural and entertainment industry department to connect with the city government. Commercialize all bat merch, especially for upcoming music festivals.

As we all know, the city of Gotham appeared in the public eye with a positive image for the first time. It is not surprising that people naturally associate Gotham with bats because the photos of Batman taken by Clark became popular.

And because Gordon borrowed Batman's first-generation bat light as the traffic light of the central turntable before, and these policemen obviously don't have the technical ability to change the pattern of the bat light, so so far, the traffic light of the central turntable will still turn to the traffic light when it is turned on. A red or green bat pattern is projected in the sky.

The vast majority of tourists who come to Gotham will pass the central turntable no matter which attractions they want to go to. Regarding the magical bat pattern, the first person they see is doubt, the second person they see is curiosity, and the third person is punching in I took a photo, and when the tenth and first ones were made, dozens of bizarre story versions of this magical bat pattern were compiled, and it became one of the must-visit classic attractions in Gotham.

Although the Internet media is not very developed in this era, various webpages have been developed relatively well, coupled with the word of mouth of tourists who come here, bats have gradually become the representative animals of Gotham, and even the image of the city sign.

Ordinary people in Gotham have no opinion on this. Gotham does have a lot of bats that fly past the windows at night. Usually, few people pay attention to these animals, but since those outlanders like them, it’s not impossible. become an attraction.

Under the guidance of the locals, many tourists have found an excellent place to watch bat colonies. At night, a large number of wild bats will fly all the way from the outskirts of the West District to the North District. On the way, they will pass Gotham Cathedral. The gothic atmosphere created by the night, the ancient church, and the swarms of flying bats is fascinating, no matter which angle it is shot from, it is very good.

Mayor Roy is more accepting of this situation than ordinary people, and is even very happy about it. The tourism signs of many cities often take ten years or even decades to build. They are always scolded as ugly, such as the most classic big characters "Hollywood" standing on the hillside.

Surprisingly, people's acceptance of bats as a symbol of Gotham is very high. Roy hurriedly made a few fake bat lights and put them in the center of the turntable. The light show attracts a group of tourists to watch it on the roof of the nearby building.

Immediately afterwards, he teamed up with Gotham University's animal science major to come up with a bat bait, which can allow wild bats outside the city to perform flight performances according to the route he planned, and then set up different viewing points in the city to divert tourists.

Then add the image of the bat to the final publicity of the music festival to deepen people's understanding of the bat representing Gotham.

After this, there is only the last step left, which is how to drive all industries to transform the virtual fame of the bat image into a real bat economy, and the simplest and easiest step is to sell bat peripherals.

Whether it is the small stalls on the streets near the central turntable, or the rooftops of buildings around various viewing spots and scenic spots, Gotham citizens have long set up stalls, but Gotham has never done tourism business before, and many people don’t even know What to sell is more profitable.

Either the things they sell are weird and no one buys them at all. For example, there are gangsters setting up stalls selling guns on the spot. It’s not that tourists don’t want to buy them. They are not small pistols, but large firearms. People are here to travel and they are not kidnapped. How can they buy a submachine gun with such a high budget?

Those who do not sell such dangerous goods mostly sell food and drink, but there are only a few ways to make local snacks. There are no more than three ways to make a stall on a street. Most of them, whoever opens the front will earn more. Money, the same snacks in the back, tourists don't need to eat a second time.

Now Gotham's street stall economy is in a state of being busy, chaotic, and not making money. If this continues, it will easily dampen the enthusiasm of the local people and gangsters for the tourism industry. The city government must find a shot in the arm to make everyone aware It is possible to make money in the tourism industry, and it is more profitable than before.

Roy would think about the matter around the bat, thanks to Gordon, and Gordon thanks to Jack the Clown. As I said before, Bruce made several prototypes in order to create a bat doll with the right image and size. Version.

After the final version was finalized, the previous proofed version was useless, so he sent one to each of his friends, and Jack the Clown got the largest bat doll, with a wingspan of two meters, which can be called magnificent.

When Gordon went to Jack's house once, he saw this big doll at a glance. He thought it was very interesting, so he took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it to Roy. Roy was overjoyed and asked Gordon whose general it was. , and finally found out that this thing was produced by the Wayne Group.

When Roy found Thomas, he held his hand with tears in his eyes, and praised him for his foresight and business acumen. It took Thomas a long time to figure out that the mess that Bruce had piled up in the warehouse could be It's for sale, and what's even more amazing is that someone actually bought it.

But the fact is that not only people buy it, but also sell very well. After all, the expected price of such things around is different from that of food and drink. Some people may think it expensive to buy a snack for ten yuan, but you can buy an exquisite one for ten yuan. Bringing city souvenirs home, everyone will feel that it is too valuable.

After obtaining the authorization from Bruce, the Twelve Family's factory continued to produce bat refrigerator magnets, bat T-shirts, batmobile stickers, bat ornaments, and even bat doll bouquets, and then distributed them to various attractions for sale.

Then, all the gangsters were surprised to find that this thing makes more money than selling fans. Almost all plastic or metal products have very low peripheral costs, and the more they are produced, the lower the cost. It does not take up space in the warehouse and will not be damaged, and it will be sold as it is next year.

Printed products require a little more work, but the price is also high. An ordinary white shirt costs a few dollars, which is very expensive even in Gotham's prices, but as long as you print a slightly more complicated one The special pattern has become a tourist souvenir in the city, and can be sold for a high price of more than ten dollars.

In the early 90s, the American economy was on the rise, employment was quite full, and there were many holidays. Everyone had spare money and was willing to spend money when traveling. All tourist cities that became popular in this era made a lot of money, and Gotham was no exception. .

Therefore, the music festival has not yet started, and tourists who arrive here in advance and want to travel around Gotham have already brought a lot of income to all walks of life in Gotham.

This made the people of all walks of life in Gotham, especially the gang of the twelve families, fully realize that in what age are they still working hard to engage in traditional robbery?Isn't it faster to rob tourists' money by selling tourism around than robbing banks?
