The fat man frowned and sat in the car, "Li Shang, the air in New York is really bad, it smells so bad!"

Li Shang smiled and didn't speak, if you let the fat man go to Yanjing, I'm afraid the weather here will be heaven. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the car started, a high-rise building towering into the clouds in the shape of a pen appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

In the thirties of the 20th century, the American economy was in the midst of the Great Depression, and the people lived more difficult, while the bosses of Wall Street were enthusiastic about the race to build skyscrapers. In order to show his wealth, millionaire Rascob decided to build the world's tallest building. He called the famous architect William Ram and asked him how high the building could be, and Ram pondered for a moment and replied, "1,050 feet."

Lascob was unhappy with the height, which was only 4 feet taller than the newly built Chrysler Building in New York at the time. So, the architects managed to add a 200-foot-tall round tower, bringing the Empire State Building to a height of 1,250 feet. The skyscraper was built in just 410 days and is considered a marvel in the history of architecture.

The Empire State Building was built by the wealthy Lascob. The original plan was to build a low, sturdy-looking 34-storey building, but it took 16 revisions before adopting the "pencil-shaped" scheme of the wealthy Lasscob. It is also said that the final 102-storey building plan is a masterpiece of the world's sky wheel corridor. The result was a solid building.

The name of the building is derived from the nickname of New York State, the Empire State, so its English name originally meant New York State Building or Empire State Building, but the translation of the Empire State Building has been agreed upon and used.

William F. Rambo, a designer from Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Architects, was responsible for the main design of the building. Based on the designs of his predecessors, it took him only two weeks to create the architectural drawings.

The Empire State Building was originally 381 meters in total, but the antennas installed in the 50s of the 20th century raised its height to 443.7 meters. According to estimates, about 330,000 tons of materials were used to build the Empire State Building. With a total of 6,500 windows, 73 elevators, and 1,860 steps from the ground floor to the top floor, the building has a total floor area of 204385 square meters.

This is the origin of the Empire State Building, Li Shang looked at the building in front of him, and his heart was shocked, even the fat man looked at the building in front of him with stunned eyes.

The manager sitting in the front seat stretched out his hand and introduced himself to Li Shang, "Sir, I am the Asian manager of Sotheby's auction house, my name is Wang Li, and I will be in charge of your reception work in the next few days."

Li Shang stretched out his hand to hold it and introduced, "I won't introduce myself, this is my best friend, good classmate, Wang Hai"

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

The two shook hands and greeted each other.

The fat man looked at the car and asked Wang Li in front of him, "Where are we going?"

"Since the auction will start in two days, we will go to the hotel first, and I will pick you up when the auction starts," Wang Li explained to the two of them.

The fat man asked excitedly, "Where is the auction held?"

Wang Li said proudly, "It was held on the top floor of the Empire State Building, and the people who participated in the auction were all top rich people, after all, this diamond is so attractive!"

The fat man also nodded deeply, agreeing with what Wang Li said.

The fat man leaned on the window, looking at the Empire State Building not far away, with nostalgia in his eyes.

Wang Li took Li Shang and the fat man to live in the hotel, and he could see that the security guards next to the hotel had increased a lot, after all, the people who lived in this five-star hotel were either rich or expensive, especially the people who participated in the auction in the past few days, they were even richer.

On the top floor of the Empire State Building, the security personnel in charge of the diamond were preoccupied, after all, if the diamond was lost, it would not be enough for these people combined.

The person in charge of this auction is arranging every detail, and even the general manager of the auction has come to this place and carefully inspected every place to ensure that it is meticulous.

The general manager told the person in charge, "This auction must be prepared, this time our auction house will definitely become the most famous auction house in the world with this opportunity!"

He has great ambitions, in order for this diamond to be auctioned at Sotheby's, he has paid too much, the more diamonds are auctioned this time, the more taxes he pays, not to mention that he also sold Li Shang at the transaction price, which requires that after taxes, these taxes are paid by himself, this time he is ambitious, and strive to be perfect.

Inspections, changes, and changes are constantly being made at the request of the general manager.

No one was allowed to enter the room, not even security personnel had to be fully inspected to enter.

The fat man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the night in front of him, and exclaimed, "What a beauty!"

Li Shang smiled and said, "Okay, fat man, you kid is really excited, I don't know, I think the diamond is yours!"

The fat man looked at the night, didn't even turn his head, and said, "You kid is hypocritical, if this diamond is mine, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night!"

Li Shang was amused, and thought to himself, 'If I hadn't gotten this space, without these diamonds, I'm afraid I would be like you kid, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night!'

"Okay fat man, hurry back to your room and sleep!" Li Shang hurried to the fat man.

"Got it, got it, let me see it a little longer"

The fat man thought that the diamond would be auctioned in two days, so he turned his head to Li Shang and asked, "Li Shang, what are you going to do tomorrow, can't you stay in the hotel for two days!"

Li Shang stretched his waist and said, "I have to talk about things tomorrow, now hurry back to your room and sleep!"

"Alright, alright, got it," said the fat man reluctantly.

"The world's largest diamond is about to go up!"

"The luckiest of the people! the most unearned people!"

"The Empire State Building, the world's most coveted auction!"

"Who owns the largest diamond in the world?!"

"The most brilliant diamond, the luckiest Li Shang!"

"The most high-profile auction in the world!"

・・・・・・

In the far East, newspapers were printed and news broadcasts made this auction a big hit.

In the Li business, Li's father and Li's mother looked at the report on TV and suddenly realized, "I said, why did this kid tell me that he was going out for more than a month, it turned out that the diamond was going to be auctioned!"

Dad Li snorted and said, "What's the matter with him, it's just shit luck"

"That's my son too, which means that my son has a good eye!" Li's mother immediately retorted.

"Okay, okay, my son has a good eye!"

"That's it!"

・・1・・・・

Two days passed in a flash, and Li Shang and the fat man got into the special car prepared by Wang Li and drove towards the auction.

It was a day of worldwide attention, and all kinds of media gathered at the door to find out who was attending the auction.

"Coming, coming, someone coming"

An extended Rolls-Royce slowly approached, and the media waited and waited.

"It's him, how is it!"

"Oh my God!

When the media saw the one who got out of the car, they exclaimed, and the magnesium lights in their hands clicked chaotically.
