It's rare to go to a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown to eat so formally, and she chose a private room, so of course Alice won't order two steamed dumplings in a hurry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Tofu and chicken feet with shallots, followed by char siu in honey sauce and steamed grouper, Cantonese cuisine has become one of the most influential cuisines overseas, and its generally light and sweet taste has contributed to it. Of course, this restaurant is not only this kind of cuisine, but Alice did not forget to order some Sichuan and Hunan meat dishes.

It is not difficult to teach Monica how to use chopsticks, but practice makes perfect in the end, especially when dealing with groupers. As for the knife and fork spoon, no one would do that kind of thing that spoils the scenery.

"Unbeatable, really unmatched!" The only companion is also a girl, Monica has no need to resist the gluttonous image at all, honey barbecued pork and farmhouse stir-fried meat, Sichuan-flavored spicy chicken and fish-flavored eggplant pot, she can't put down chopsticks at all from the beginning.

"What was the Chinese food I used to eat? In the end, you still have to communicate with experts to ...... Not...... It can't be so delicious, how can it be so delicious? It's so delicious! ”

"Fish-flavored shredded pork, kung pao chicken, mushu meat, sweet and sour meat, all kinds of roast chicken, some of them belong to the fast food category......"

Seeing that Monica even shed tears, Alice really didn't want to cry or laugh. The British recipe is known all over the world for its monotonous and boring, and it is mainly light, Sichuan spicy chicken...... Monica, does it really matter if you're in such a hurry?

"Slow down, slow down, Chinese restaurants are originally particular about talking about things at the dinner table, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

In this way, by the time Monica had eaten and drunk, a lot of time had indeed passed, and the real purpose of this meeting was that the debriefing could begin.

"It's delicious...... Belch! ”

Monica patted her bulging chest, sat down next to Alice at the round table, flipped through the folders, and introduced her.

The most obvious basic advantage of commercial real estate companies is that they can directly locate the company in the industry to which they belong, that is, in the office buildings they build. Therefore, Monica is directly choosing the site for "Vanda Plaza, Manhattan, New York", and as for the temporary branch location, it is not important.

"Ignoring the north of Central Park, there is no development area in Manhattan, and several other places are even more nonsense." The basic principle can be established in an instant, Queens and Brooklyn are all predominantly low-rise squares during World War II, and the diversity of races and cultures may be a paradise for artists, but in essence they can only prove that they are residential areas for foreign populations. When you think about the huge New York City, Brooklyn has a central business district after Manhattan, and the truth is self-evident.

"Words from the lower town...... Wall Street, more than 500 meters in length, large bank headquarters, insurance companies, exchanges, investment companies, skyscrapers...... There is absolutely no room for us to interfere. ”

Even if she doesn't have to stand on top of the torch of the Statue of Liberty to look out, Alice knows what the southernmost point of Manhattan is. A little north of Battery Park, a small piece of Battery Park at the southernmost end, twenty or thirty skyscrapers are clustered there, like spikes on maces, and there is no place for a "square" to be contested.

Alice's positioning of Vanda Square is very clear, the center of the city, how can there be a reason to squeeze into another center?

Of course, she couldn't just say anything about making it another center of Manhattan, because the whole island was full of skyscrapers.

New York, is the CBO of the United States.

Manhattan is the CBD of New York.

As for Manhattan's CBD, there are two.

One is the southernmost financial district of the island, which is also home to many other companies, but is still Wall Street-oriented. Alice has no plans to set up an "Alice Financial Investment Company" or "Alice Bank", of course, there is no need to go there to join in the fun. What's more, the spikes on the mace are not too obvious, and the reason why the World Trade Center was hit was because it was the most top-notch high-rise building here?

The second is Midtown, which emerged later than Downtown, but has just rightly become the commercial center of the whole island after the financial district. It is headed by the nineteen buildings of Rockefeller Center, and includes the Radio City Music Hall, the Empire State Building, and important transportation hubs such as New York Grand Central Terminal, Pennsylvania Station, and New York Port Authority. If the lower town is a spike in a mace, it is the most crowded and prosperous area on the island, and has the highest density of skyscrapers in the world.

The boundaries of Midtown are blurred, and the most representative way is to divide them with a one-mile length of 40th Street to the north to the south of Central Park, and 3rd through 9th Streets to the east and west, which happens to paint Rockefeller Center in the center.

"South of Midtown, North of Lower City......"

In this way, Alice's fingers locked on a general area: "In the middle, the area north of Washington Park, there is a large area, and the height of the buildings is very average. Monica...... You say we ......"

With her fingers swiping back and forth across the map, her heart pounding, Alice took a deep breath: "How about another Rockefeller Center!?" ”

Monica's eyes widened instantly: "Vanda Plaza in the nineteenth building!?" ”

Absolutely appalling behavior, Manhattan, where every inch of land is valuable, isn't that building tens of millions or billions counted? Even as early as the thirties, it was the Rockefeller family who funded the construction of this level of building complex, even if Alice has developed at an astonishing speed in recent years, how can there be such capital!?

"Take it easy, I didn't say I'm going to achieve my goal right away, do I?" At least looking at Monica's stunned look, Alice's words were not in vain: "Besides, the housing prices in that place are still relatively cheap, isn't our development strategy to choose underdeveloped areas and then lead the development?" Forgot? ”

Monica's professionalism was superb, so she came back to her senses after a moment of shock, but she also had to take a deep breath before she could finally recover.

"Tell me about your plans, Alice, if you're going to build a complex of this size, we're going to have to deal with the people of the Upper East Side, and that's the first step."

Admittedly, how could the construction of a new Rockefeller Center be done without regard for the wealthy class of New York? Similarly, the mayor of New York and relevant dignitaries from the Ministry of Land and Resources will inevitably have serious contact. Even if a nouveau riche with no roots and no low capital has a lot of money, if he wants to win a project of such a level, it is definitely a fool's dream.

"The office building itself does not occupy a large area, and the important thing is the connection between multiple buildings, which is where the real money is involved, but it is also the best way to show the strength of a consortium. Since our industry has been turned into a square, it must be connected, if not erased from the asphalt road. So Monica, our main concern is the price of the land. ”

Saying these words, Alice was also flipping through the information compiled by Monica, and thanks to the fact that she had called the corresponding real estate company on the plane as early as possible, she sorted out the current prices of most of the skyscrapers in Manhattan in just one morning.

"What you said is reasonable, if you choose that underdeveloped area, hehe, it is indeed the price of land that is more important." Monica was also amused by this description, and then she took out another folder from her purse, isn't it a collection of real estate information on the whole island marked by land price?

"Money isn't an issue, and we're not in a hurry to get up and running in three or two years, and like you said, it's enough trouble to get along with those guys on the Upper East Side." Alice flipped through the information and said, although Monica was nervous, of course she had a plan in mind.

You know, it's already the fall of 1989, and the nineties mark is about to begin. Even if you only consider the golden period of the Internet, how much revenue can it bring? In 1999, Microsoft, Cisco, and Intel firmly occupied the top three positions in the global company's market capitalization, all of which were 500 billion US dollars.

It is true that John D. Rockefeller's wealth at his peak is equivalent to $400 billion now, especially in the 21st century. If you count it by one-fifth, Alice is still only half of him, but if it is only to build a "second Rockefeller Center", it is obvious that it is not necessary to really reach his level.

What's more, this is still estimated from the lowest limit.

"Monica, never underestimate the economic future of humanity, especially since this is Manhattan."

As Alice said these words, Monica asked herself, completely unsure of what kind of development plans her boss had. As an employee, she knew the girl one of the deepest, and just now she could imagine an unimaginable conclusion, let alone reality, just now.

"I'm sure you'll do it."

The boss and the secretary, it seems that the dialogue between the preface and the afterword is exactly the heart of the two full of subtext. Alice then chuckled softly, and then suddenly threw out a seemingly unrelated topic.

"Monica, you haven't been eating less high-calorie food in the past few days, why don't we get a needle?"

Monica raised an eyebrow: "That's not good, the testing hasn't been completed yet, I don't want to use a product that hasn't been approved for marketing yet." ”

So, Alice flipped her palm and made a gesture of please: "Then hurry up and let the drug testing department pass, I believe that with the Windsor royal family as a guarantee, we can still simplify the procedures to the greatest extent, right?" ”
