"What if I suddenly find myself addicted?"

Sitting on a small plane flying from Los Angeles to the airport on the outskirts of Laeken, Alice said, "I suddenly want to build a secret base on the Tibetan Plateau!" ”

Oscar said happily on the sidelines: "Warm welcome, we want to carry forward the glorious tradition of Alice the Rabbit, dig deep holes around the world and accumulate food, and strive for the great goal of allowing people around the world to live underground before the arrival of 2050!" ”

"No, I'm serious. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Alice touched her brother's head, and the soft black hair felt very good: "We have to find something interesting for ourselves to do, what do you say is the most interesting thing now?" Playing games, going to parties, racing cars, and horse racing is indeed a thing; Like the rich second generation on the East Coast, they fly to Paris every weekend, go around the city, and have to drive a certain Bentley and play certain classical music...... It's not impossible. ”

"Well, that kind of pompous will be scolded to death by Dad."

"But what about corporate property? You can't just swap all your cash out and swim around in the pool, right? ”

Oscar squinted his eyes very uncooperatively: "I think it's a good idea, really sister, I haven't tried it yet!" ”

"Die, you ......"

Back on the plane back to Los Angeles from China, Alice was calculating the company's assets. In fact, when the famous movie star Audrey Hepburn reported that she was critically ill, the relevant anti-cancer drugs were not yet officially marketed, and they were just dead horses as live horse doctors. The result is good, with the absolute star effect and quality of the product guarantee, the market value of the umbrella is really too high.

Alice's market value growth potential of this precious company, of course, has no historical basis, but after she used HP-001 to repeatedly calculate the probability theory, she knows that if the umbrella continues to develop at the current level, it will not be a problem for the bear to hold a market value of more than 500 billion in 1999.

It's really scary, because it hasn't been around for a decade by then.

So no matter what to do with it, Alice definitely has the capital to play with the construction of underground bases - to be reasonable, even if all conventional means are used, the full cost of a building will be at most 80 billion US dollars? For example, when Apple was at the peak of its market capitalization, it had $200 billion in cash savings, which was enough to build three buildings!

But all these delusions in her mind will be a while later, and her entire consortium has just started a big project, that is, a series of investments throughout China, which is definitely short of money. If you really want to be willful, you have to wait for these investments to start creating value.

Alice began to sort out the accounts.

The rise in market value itself has nothing to do with the company's available capital, the annual profit is everything, but the rising market value represents the company's high development potential, which allows it to obtain high loans from banks. So, based on the Umbrella's current annual profits and skyrocketing market value, Alice could easily get a loan amount of up to $10 billion with just a series of phone calls.

As early as when she returned to Los Angeles, a series of orders were issued, and all the employees of the company involved were busy. This series of investment projects is so complex that even if all employees work overtime, they have to be busy for a long time.

At the very least, although Alice, with its geographical advantages, has indeed marked some specific locations suitable for building factories in China, this still requires someone to conduct on-site inspections. Even moving a vase at Lao Wang's house next door has to be visited by someone in person, like this kind of foreign investment and factory construction, how can there be no on-site supervision by people from the company's headquarters?

But there was no need for Alice to stay at the headquarters all the time, so after assigning the whole task, she flew to Laken City with her brother to play.

The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and the sand is low, this is the most common situation in the whole of Utah, but the Akere Mountains on the small town of Lakendi are quite beautiful.

Alice has already made a series of investments, starting with the acquisition of a number of municipal energy companies such as waterworks and power plants, and the construction of a heavy factory building in Delaken is also under construction. Considering that the city will be expanding, the factory is quite far away, and it is definitely located downwind and downstream of the river, and even the corresponding road construction has already begun.

At the same time, the land that was selected for digging the hive base has also been purchased, and the price is really cheap. Easily, at the foot of the Acre Mountains on the outskirts of the city, Alice bought a vast plot of land that could build an entire resort. Now everything is simple, since it is a private territory, even the oil and gold found belong to her, let alone just dig a hole to build a house?

The Ponbach plane landed at the small new airport, and Alice and her brother stepped off the plane, the Humvee with its shoulders and shoulders and its backs already waiting. The person in charge of the response was Brudy, who has been on site to supervise the work for half a month.

"Hey, buddy!"

Oscar happily patted Brudy on the shoulder: "What's so fun in this town?" Introducing, let's go out tonight and have fun? ”

Alice glanced at her and said, "I'm sorry man, there is no strip club in Laken, and you kid is not old at all, be honest with me!" ”

Brudy smiled lightly: "I believe that the construction side alone is enough to make you excited for a long time, come on." ”

The car soon drove into the city of Laken. It's a peaceful town, with a population of 3,000 that makes it impossible to be very lively, but it also makes it highly centralized and easy to navigate. Brudy drove the Hummer across the city, which made it easier to attract a high number of heads, and many people were happy to see it.

"Looks like we're really welcome." Oscar was very excited, because there was a beautiful high school girl among the repeat customers: "Now the water and electricity used by people in the whole city belong to us, right?" ”

"That's right, but it's not unusual." Alice looked at her brother's fuss and felt amused: "Don't forget that we are still shareholders of HK Electric, and the whole Hong Kong people use our electricity." ”

"I've only been to Hong Kong a few times, and this town can be seen at a glance!"

Also. The city is too big, and unless the achievement really breaks through the sky, no one will take you seriously. But if there are people in such a small circle, some people monopolize certain industries, and everyone goes out and doesn't look up, and the sense of accomplishment is indeed different.

After a while, Brudy drove the car to its destination, the construction site was of course not the first target, the first to arrive was the "Hive Investment Company". For example, the recently acquired Laken City Water Supply Company and others are all funded from it, and of course, the huge hive base will also be turned into its investment industry.

The company doesn't need to be too high, and the person in charge of the reception is an executive sent directly from the Alice Building, named Ryan Blond, who Sophie carefully searched through the Harvard alumni directory, and is definitely worthy of a new appointment.

"Alice, and Oscar, take a look at our drawings."

Brown beckoned the two to sit down, and took out the large stack of documents with great hospitality and cheerfulness: "According to the research of our loyal architects day and night, a total of three construction plans have been designed, all based on quality and efficiency, but with slight differences in cost. ”

Oscar is now a college student, and the undergraduate level of the College of Arts and Sciences teaches purely academic knowledge, and in just one year, he has really matured a lot. He was already able to do business entertainment, as well as browsing industrial construction drawings, and Alice was very satisfied to see that he finally did not pretend to understand, but was very humble to consult with the technical director who was called.

Of course, she was also involved, and there were details that she needed to emphasize repeatedly.

"The whole tram tunnel is five miles long, it has to be steep enough, and it has to be absolutely safe. The 'high-speed rail' technology I have given you is indeed unique in the market, and even the Japanese Shinkansen is different from it, so you must ensure that it is formed once and tested repeatedly, and I don't want to build it repeatedly." ”

"The station is marble, and the walls are made of super-high-grade reinforced concrete. If the ground is broken, you can fix it casually, but if the entrance to the laboratory, which is guarded by a steel gate, is still there, but the wall next to it is open to people, isn't that a joke? ”

"I will ship a batch of high-quality air purification equipment from Japan, so you don't need to purchase this, just wait for the order. In addition, give me the information on the security design, and I will show you how to place the probe. ”

This small meeting was held for a while, even if the Wang family sisters and brothers got up early today, and when they flew to Laken and walked into the company, it was noon. Lunch came quickly, and we talked until two o'clock in the afternoon, until many, many work instructions had been completed, and Alice proposed to go to the site to have a look.

"You're too thoughtful, sis." Oscar was amused: "You still plan to build a small power station at the bottom?" If you still want to design it to be fully automatic, is it necessary for us to spend so much money on this design? ”

"It only takes one accident to destroy everything, our hive is a place to study viruses, do you want a leak to happen?"

"That's why you need a multi-layer nanoscale air filtration device...... But what does this have to do with captive power stations? Could it be that the power went out in the laboratory...... Refrigerated viruses can die, but this is not usually the case, right? ”

"So I'm afraid of what if, and I'm designing a seamless connection between power outage and power supply, which is not a simple technology. The software part is easy to say, but the hardware part used for execution also has to be built by the industrial sector. ”

"Demand is produced long ago, and then when the technology matures, it can be brought to market for the benefit of mankind. Oh, sister, you're not bad at that. ”

"I'm finally smart, do you want my sister to kiss you~?"

"Fuck off!"

The Humvee traveled all the way and soon arrived at the construction site. It was a vast plain at the foot of the mountain, and the perimeter had been fenced off by the employees of the hive to prevent uninterested people from entering. The initial excavation has already begun, and a large number of trucks, excavators, etc., are ready in an open field that can host the Super Bowl, but this is only part of the deep pit that needs to be excavated.

"Look, man, this is the live version of the blueprint."

The cold wind was blowing in the suburbs, and Alice had to find a hard hat to protect her hair: "That's where we're going to build a holiday villa, a big summer resort, and from there, take the elevator into the underground tram stop, and then follow the ...... Dangdang, this is the construction site. ”

Oscar stood next to the construction site and looked out towards the bottom of the mountain. It's not a simple distance, but just think about the tram route being three miles, and you know how far you have to go on the surface. So when you think about it, this design really feels obscene, because all you can see on the ground is the manor at the foot of the mountain, and who would have imagined that the real target was actually in the open space many miles away?

"Can we build something here?" Oscar rolled his eyes and said, "If someone investigates, they will definitely know that this piece of land belongs to you, do you want to cover it up here?" ”

Oscar is not stupid, and he thinks about it when he stares at the current vacant land. Alice nodded with satisfaction: "It makes sense, although many people like to keep a hunting ground or something, but we have put the construction on the bright side, and there is nothing to talk about." So Oscar, can you help me think about it, what should we do to cover it up? ”

It didn't take much thought to know that Oscar actually had a bad idea.

Because isn't this typical place where there are no three hundred taels of silver?

The design depth of the hive base is there, and even the ground-penetrating bomb has to be aimed at and throw three or two rounds, how can ordinary people have the ability to do something? This predetermined holiday manor can be placed on the hillside, since it is its own property, how can there be a reason to build a messy building under the nose of the holiday manor?

"So, nature is the best barrier." Alice said, "This is the blind spot. When people drive and see a holiday estate in the distance, they naturally think that it is the location of all their secrets. As long as they don't have the ability to actually find the entrance to the house, then who can imagine that in fact, there is a real secret buried in the ground on the way they came? ”

Oscar nodded like a chicken, because he finally understood why Alice had drawn such a complicated drawing when designing the resort estate.

Seriously, the manor wasn't very tech-high, and there were no other electronic mechanisms other than a predetermined combination lock at the doorway. But just like a mysterious castle in a Gothic story, those mechanisms designed by the most primitive means are often the most numbing to the scalp.
