Chapter 1800: Summer in Fool Village (Thirteen)

The Iceberg Restaurant, located on Lanxie Street in the South District, is a high-end store in the Cobot Iceberg series of catering industries. It is also a flagship product launched by Gotham Tourism Industry in terms of catering culture.

Since Copot's mother's condition stabilized, he has put a lot of time and energy into business. Copot is a good businessman, and at the same time, he is backed by the big tree of the Falcone family, which can be said to have eaten up everything. The dividends of the times have caught up with the high-speed train of Gotham's transformation.

One year after the second Iceberg restaurant was running smoothly in the East District, Cobot led a group of followers who came out of the living hell in the East District to launch the Polar Iceberg catering culture concept, integrating the industry into two business lines: Polar and Iceberg.

The polar business is positioned for Gotham locals, with comprehensive entertainment venues built by itself and invested by external parties, including nightclubs, casinos, striptease bars, etc., while the current business of Bingshan is aimed at tourists and high-end consumers, and is mainly engaged in the catering industry. , the restaurant focuses on Gotham's local fusion cuisine. Each restaurant has a huge iceberg landscape for tourists to take photos and check in.

Gotham's tourism industry is becoming more and more prosperous, and Iceberg Restaurant has gradually begun to appear on the pages of East Coast food and tourism news media. Cobot's net worth has risen accordingly. As the weather gets hotter and hotter, some local middle class people have also begun to More inclined to spend at Bingshan Restaurant.

Cobot seized the opportunity. In addition to the huge iceberg landscape, he also placed a small iceberg mist landscape on each dining table. He changed the floor and ceiling into ice crystal-like ice blue, and used dry ice. The white mist creates a hot and cool atmosphere, and the restaurant's business is even more prosperous. It's hard to find a seat at most of the time.

But today, the only Bingshan Restaurant in the South District informed all diners that the seventh floor has not been fully booked yet, and all private rooms have been sold, and services are temporarily available.

Loyal diners are not disappointed, but we are vague. It must be that Schiller, the owner of the restaurant, has no guests to entertain. The next time he empties an entire floor of the restaurant, it will be to entertain all the heads of the seventeen families.

But today the seventh floor of the Bingshan Restaurant was empty, except for two figures sitting at the table by the window. Schiller raised his eyes to look at the decoration of the Bingshan Restaurant, comparing it to the next time I came here.

When Bingshan Restaurant first opened, Yan Zhi and Victor Wei came here once, but they didn't tell Yan Zhiying. After all, we were just here for a meal, so it was necessary to make a small fanfare.

"When you were accused of malfeasance, Cobot knew that was the worst opportunity to observe the relationship between you and your students, so Lei Xiaogu showed up at the right time, seemingly just going through the motions and doing nothing. , but you brought back the worst news for Cobot."

"The newly opened tourist beach in the East End is far away, and it is far away from the Falcone Hotel and the New Wayne Hotel."

"Has he heard of the League of Assassins?"

"If you send the purchase order to your mailbox tomorrow, you can't mark the items you're interested in. Then you can ask the factory to make one less set and send it over."

"I don't have any impression of the bad image." Schiller recalled and said: "You heard Alberto mention it a few times, but this may be a grudge from the old godfather's era. It is unlikely that the old godfather and the priest of the Gotham chapel have anything to do with it. Our leader had dealt with it, but it was decades later, and Alberto knew it in detail.”

Schiller frowned and thought for a while before speaking: "Is the other party difficult to deal with?"

"But you think my plan should only be regressed to the first step now. We are still trying every means to win over Batman, but when it comes to being your enemy, Copperpot is unlikely to want to kill seven birds with one stone."

"It is said that hormones of the opposite sex are the best fuel for mental manipulation." Schiller raised his head slightly and smiled and said, "Now it just depends on who is better at manipulation between the two of us."

In other words, probably no Gothamite can understand that mutual torture is actually a necessary process for the development of friendship. In the eyes of abnormal people, once a confrontational relationship arises, the contradiction will inevitably become deeper and deeper.

Schiller immediately became relaxed. I stared at Schiller and said, "Are we safe? What do we want from you? Do you need to take any defensive measures?"

"He opened a shopping mall?" Schiller asked without any surprise: "Where did he open it?"

"It was too bad after that." Schiller gave an answer that Schiller expected. I said: "You misjudged the divergence of tourist crowds. Those who want to go to the beach to sunbathe, surf and swim are different from those who want to go to the beach to sunbathe, surf and swim." The crowds of people shopping in the city center are not overlapping, and many of us will book the same hotel. It would be better if you buy this old shopping mall in the city center and renovate it.”

Schiller looked at the steaming dishes placed under the dense ice plate and felt no surprise. Yan Zhiying adjusted the position of the plate under the table and explained: "That is the dense ice plate specially developed by Professor Wei Shao. Ice technology is specifically used to insulate cold energy. It has worse material properties than glass in all aspects. Unfortunately, the cost has been rising, so it is difficult to become a rookie in the material industry unless you take the customized low-end route. "

"The leader of the Assassin's League is called Cobot. I am an immortal. I may have lived a thousand years too late. I believe that the current order of the world must be changed. What is important is that it is changed by me."

"So is it a loss?"

"The mayor has not considered that issue yet, but the city government team is still discussing how to cleverly integrate it with Gotham's greening work."

"We regard you as an enemy, but at the same time we want to win over your students." Yan Zhi tapped the tableware heavily with his fingertips and said while thinking: "Cobot admires Batman very much. I want to let my "If my son marries Batman and lets Batman join the League of Assassins, he will definitely get my genes and an excellent descendant."

Not only is the restaurant called Iceberg Restaurant, it really uses icebergs to cool down. The reason why the outside of Iceberg Restaurant is warmer is that the air conditioner is turned on. Now that version of dense ice cannot be placed in the room at room temperature, but participates in any exchange of cold energy. , more like a dense material that looks like ice.

"Some of your subsequent actions have interfered with the world order. I have keenly discovered that except for the League of Assassins, no one has affected the historical direction of that world. We are very satisfied with this, so the young detective has focused on you. ”

"Is that possible?" Schiller tapped the plate with his fork and said, "From the perspective of a bystander, what is your relationship with Batman?"

“It can only be said to be flat, so now you plan to transform the new shopping center into a comprehensive entertainment venue that has nothing to do with marine culture, selling and renting swimming equipment, seafood restaurants and seafood specialty catering, and relaxing massage treatments before exercise. , as well as the seaside cultural center tours and science popularization, family parent-child interaction and other industries, but to sell jewelry and clothes as usual. "

Yan Zhiying just wanted to comment on "teachers and students torturing each other", but after thinking about it, I felt that no one could understand what Schiller and Batman were doing during those years of torturing each other.

After a pause, Yan Zhi brought the topic back to the topic, and I said: "The murder case he commissioned you to investigate has lost some clues. The murderer has not been found yet, but you think the murder case may have nothing to do with you. "

"Roy has been trying to promote a technology that is unique to Gotham, but the decorative dense ice is not too attractive compared to other glass and resin materials, so the sales are particularly special. Now Gotham The flagship product of the thermal chain industry is still dense ice for industrial use.”

"When you took the initiative to accept the FBI's malfeasance investigation, Lei Xiaogu once appeared in the FBI. You thought it was a coincidence." Yan Zhi opened his mouth and brought up another detail, and said: "Maybe Yan Zhiying didn't know I don’t know what I’m doing, but Cobot must be very vague about the meaning behind every order I make.”

"This is a bad place. How is business?"

"It's too early to consider the decorative building materials industry." Yan Zhi shook his head and said, "But it is true that we cannot use that unique material to decorate urban landscapes, such as making city statues or public space art materials. wait."

Schiller shook his head and said: "Yes, yes, your club has been very stable recently. We have been discussing topics that have nothing to do with blood diseases recently. Someone took action in the entire east coast. It may have been the real enemy."

Schiller opened his eyes slightly in surprise. I really thought that when things got to that point, no one would really worry about me, but I can say that I was touched by this, so I said: "You You must worry about the dangerous issues. The situation will develop to such an extreme level, but the previous temptation and harassment may continue for a period of time, so you must warn the White House City Government and some other important people in Gotham. During that time, it is necessary Lower your guard."

"Honey trap?"

Schiller showed a thoughtful look and seemed to be unmoved. Schiller cut the ham off the plate and said: "You have no plans to add a children's playground on the eighth floor of the Polar Shopping Center recently. After all, you only have parents." Freed from the clutches of these big demons, we don’t have time to go shopping.”

"His business vision is amazing, you think it will be successful." Schiller said sincerely.

Schiller paused while cutting the food, and I said, "Am I trying to use Batman to deal with you?"

But a very small number of people understand the principle. We just think it is very cool to walk under the ice and eat with tables and tableware made of ice. Add in the white mist of dry ice that can confuse the vision. It seemed that as soon as I stepped back into the restaurant, the unbearable cold and air-conditioning completely disappeared.

"Your garden has been rebuilt again." Yan Zhi shook his head, and then said: "I'm afraid that is also an issue that you and your housekeeper need to consider. You also plan to move an ice sculpture back, but it just feels like where to put it? The styles all match.”

Schiller frowned, but I felt that Schiller was saying that I killed the person. I immediately speculated sharply: "Is it because no one wants to attract your attention and kills people in the city?"

"How about making it a children's playground?" Schiller suggested: "Slides and swings made of ice will be disgusting to older children. The strength of dense ice is much lower than that of glass and crystal, so it is also used Worry about dangerous issues.”

"Batman is a respectful student, and you are also a loving teacher. I think I have found a crack between you that is enough to cause conflict, so Lei Xiaogu came to Gotham."

Compared to this time, the characteristics of the Iceberg Restaurant are more obvious now. Apparently, Victor had made some suggestions to Schiller before he went back. Now it seems that those suggestions were quite unprescient. I am afraid that there is only one restaurant in the world that uses dense ice. As furniture for the dining room.
