Since the elder brother wants a skyscraper even if he doesn't hesitate to pat himself on the back, Alice, who is an older sister, will certainly not be stingy in satisfying her wishes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The Info Institute's project was huge, the underground space was still a long time before it was built, and the hackers were still working on ternary computers, so she flew towards Los Angeles on a flight that night.

"Hello and welcome to British Airways flight CA4369, our destination ......"

Alice sat in a daze by the window of business class, a few meters behind the curtain of the door separated a more spacious space, and hundreds of economy class passengers were dragging large and small suitcases around. As for this space, the total number of seats is only twelve, and all the seats are not full.

"Hello sir, thank you for your trust, we will definitely present you with the best design. ”

A middle-aged man who has just finished his last call and can walk around with a portable device of such a large size is either a madman or a busy businessman. So since he is now a purchased business class seat, the answer is naturally clear, so when the man sat on Alice's side, the girl couldn't help but cast a glance at him.

"Oh," said the girl, in astonishment, "you are not Mr. Remus-Burton." ”

The man was busy putting the phone in his bag, and was stunned when he heard this: "Remus Byrne, may I ask who you are...... Ahh

Alice smiled dumbly: "It's a surprise to meet you here." Mr. Bourne, thank you very much for your support in designing the blueprint for my research institute in Exeter, the finished product is so beautiful. ”

The senior designer of the UK's top Foster Architects, the designer of the architectural blueprint of Alice's Computer Research Center, the cost and design results are so amazing. It's really strange, Alice looked at her watch and said, "It's the middle of the night, and you're in such a hurry to get to Los Angeles?"

"It's not Los Angeles, it's New York. Politely pointing out the end of the transatlantic airliner, Remus-Burton laughed: "The Strange Appliance Building wanted to maintain the interior, but they weren't sure what to do with the materials for the floor tiles and wallpaper, so they placed an order with our office." ”

"Oh, whoa, the Kiwi Building. Alice pouted and exclaimed, "Nineteen skyscrapers at Rockefeller Center, but the pride of Manhattan and the whole of America." ”

"yes, how else would we have welcomed the relocation of NBC headquarters and General Electric. When it comes to professionalism, there is always something to talk about, and Bourne immediately couldn't hold his mouth: "And you know, the shape of the Strange Electrical Building is also very prominent." Eight hundred and fifty feet high, with seventy floors above the ground, rising from the ground like a square torch, this is a building from the thirties!"

"The Rockefeller Mansion is truly a gem. Alice said slowly, "So Mr. Byrne, I'm afraid I have not very good news for you. ”

Byrne looked serious: "What's the matter?"

"You and I both know that Japan is now doing the rapid development of rockets. I also have some investment in Ginza, and according to some internal intelligence, it seems that there are Japanese chaebols who want to buy our landmarks and national pride......"

In fact, these words are a bit biased, Remus-Byrne is a native of England, and it should be too late for all kinds of schadenfreude that will occur in the United States. Of course, unless his IQ is really fed to the dog, it is impossible to say that.

"Then this will definitely cause a sensation," he said without saltiness, he looked to his side, and said with an idea: "By the way, Miss Wang, since you have real estate investment in Ginza, then here in Rockefeller Center, don't you have any ideas?"

At this point, the plane is gliding and ready to take off. Alice looked out the window and glanced at the terminal in the night, which had been foggy for a hundred years.

"American real estate and Japan are two different things, what am I going to do with that bubble and throw my money in New York?"

You actually want to provide yourself with a great performance!?

"Oh my god, absolutely no problem. Of course, Bourne agreed in one breath, but then added, "But I still need to complete the mission of the Kiwi Appliance Building first, do you think we can make an appointment?"

No one spoke, because the plane had just finished accelerating into the sky, and for a moment, the entire cabin fell into complete silence, and there were only the various expressions of the passengers who were posing to bear the acceleration. Of course, the quality of the Boeing airliner was excellent, so it only took a moment for an old man in the southeast corner to read the newspaper again, as Alice had seen.

"Time is no problem, as for my phone ...... This is the pager number. When she wrote down this series of numbers, Alice was indeed quite emotional in her heart. Rao has invested in the construction of several industries under his own, but if you really want to leave a standard "office phone", you really can't do it now.

"Thank you, Miss Wang. There was silence outside the window, the plane was gradually climbing towards the stratosphere, and the whole journey was still long, so Bourne then asked, "What are the specific requirements for your new building?"

This is where the preliminary work of the designer begins, and as for Alice, the idea of a super headquarters building is of course constantly echoing in her mind, and there are so many examples of skyscrapers in the future, of course, she can open her mouth.

"You know, I'm from Los Angeles, and the city of Los Angeles, and even the whole Silicon Valley as far north, doesn't have any high-rise buildings. She said happily: "So there is no suspense in terms of site selection at all, only the palm-sized piece of land in the entire Los Angeles city is a concentration of skyscrapers, and my building must be there to join in the fun." ”

This is to be expected, and unlike Manhattan Island, which is a vast area of Greater Los Angeles County, there are not many companies that would be stupid enough to build any high-rise buildings. If you want to say which urban agglomeration in the United States can best hide the wealth from the people, I am afraid that it is Los Angeles.

Who would have thought that a three- or two-story low-rise building in West Hollywood would be the headquarters of a well-known film company?

Not to mention Silicon Valley and Seattle, where companies are all good at land occupation and suffer from high-rise aversion syndrome.

Alice's current Cisco headquarters is based on the plan of later generations, more than a dozen buildings with a maximum of five floors but the size of a middle school teaching building, plus a high-level staff dormitory, a whole science and technology park can take up space compared to a large stadium. As for Seattle, no one can expect how high the land price in Redmond is, and how many buildings of Microsoft, which once exceeded $500 billion at its peak, have more than five floors?

As for Apple's later spaceship headquarters...... The cost is really high, and the area occupied is even more amazing, but it is also far from a skyscraper.

Remus-Byrne knows what Alice's main business is, not to mention that all those messy industries are distributed all over the world, even if the newly listed Cisco has the largest number of people, it is steadily staying in San Jose, and is even planning to build another headquarters building. Leng Buding wants to build a skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles, this situation is ......

"Are you renting it out, or are you going to use it for yourself?"

Alice laughed and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, my brother fell in love with Iron Man's Stark Building, and he forced me to build one too." ”

I see, Remus-Byrne laughed. Of course, he didn't know what Alice's younger brother was, but since his sister was just sixteen years old, it was naturally not surprising that his younger brother wanted to be Iron Man.

"Oops...... If I had a sister like you, I would be so happy. ”

Full of envy and hatred, Bourne said: "It's a pity that my sister Maggie is a fat woman with a short temper, and she always likes to live with her leprosy dogs. I also have an older brother who lives in Surrey, and he adopted a nephew when his sister-in-law died a few days ago. Maggie likes to trouble that little boy the most, she's ......."

Alice wasn't interested in listening to these short conversations, and sensing that the plane had stabilized in the stratosphere, she immediately found a topic and said, "By the way, Mr. Bourne, let me ask you an interesting question, how does your company handle those closed orders? I mean, since you designed the blueprint for the institute for me, where is the backup of the drawings placed?"

"Oh, we have a dedicated archive for safekeeping. Byrne proudly said, "We have a separate room for ...... Hmmm......"

Suddenly, this engineering designer, who may not have much emotional intelligence, suddenly flashed an expression called "something is wrong" on his face.

Alice raised her eyebrows, although the final answer was uncertain, how could she not guess the truth of this momentary panic: "Mr. Bourne, you are not going to tell me that your archives are on fire, are you?"

"No, no, of course there was no misfire. Byrne was a little flustered, looking at Alice's straight eyes, he couldn't help but have a thought called "want to escape". But this is a plane, where can he escape?

"The ......"

"Just tell me, Mr. Bourne, am I the one who will leak secrets to your boss?"

Alice realizes that something seems to be happening, and that it has something to do with her. Otherwise, how could this designer not even dare to look directly at his own eyes? )
