In late June, Los Angeles once again ushered in the height of summer, and this summer, the City of Angels has a day to celebrate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe Alice Tower, a super high-rise skyscraper that started construction last summer, celebrated its completion in just one year thanks to the high-intensity work of the investors at all costs!

Especially since the beginning of this year, the Los Angeles Times has set up a special section to track the progress of the building's construction and related details. It is a matter such as the inauguration ceremony, of course, it will not hesitate to report on a large scale. In fact, the background image of this entire skyscraper, which is currently the tallest building in the world, has even been published in Time magazine as far away as New York!

It's normal to be featured on the cover of the Los Angeles Times, but to be featured on the cover of Time is not an ordinary achievement.

There is no shortage of skyscrapers in the United States, but after all, it is not the thirties, and few people are willing to invest in such projects anymore. And if anyone wants to build, they will only build it from a purely business point of view, just like the private building of the owner of this building, New York real estate tycoon Donald Trump, all of them are seeking a balance between cost and practicality.

But the Alice Building is a different story. Alice's approach of seeking efficiency and not cost really makes many people who pay attention to it envious, jealous and hateful.

Building a skyscraper more than 600 meters high in a year is really feasible, as long as it is cost-effective, any individual or institution can certainly do it as long as the funds are sufficient.

But the problem is, no one would do that!

With such a tall skyscraper, the demand for funds is very terrifying, the government needs to ask for the consent of the people, and private individuals will not waste money casually, but Alice does not hesitate to spend her "hard-earned" net worth here. With three shifts and full overtime pay, there are thousands of construction workers busy on the construction site every moment, which alone is staggering enough, because it is at least equivalent to increasing the construction cost per unit of time by more than three times!

Yes, how can we not make many builders feel sorry for her bold deed? Yes, how can we not make the entire Los Angeles citizens proud? Yes, how can we not make the Los Angeles city government elated and the mayor shouting that he will definitely be re-elected?

So it's no surprise that the governor and mayor visited the site together, and a photo of them and Alice Wang was featured on the cover of the Los Angeles Times.

As a result, the inauguration was scheduled for July 9, and when the news was published in the Los Angeles Times, one can imagine how many people commented on it.

Of course, the world's new tallest building will definitely be reprinted in the New York Times and other media. And 1 As the construction party of this building, Donald Trump, a New York real estate tycoon who was somehow chosen by Alice Wang, was the first to write a comment on it.

"The sky-high cost of five billion dollars! At least the three-year construction period has been compressed to one year, Alice Wang has set a new record, and she has even saddled herself with huge debts! But I believe that the Silicon Valley girl will definitely not take it seriously, because the stock prices of Microsoft and Cisco are skyrocketing!"

Filled with all-caps letters and exclamation points, Mr. Trump's style is as distinct as ever, and the girl's name is loud and clear across the country. It can be said that, as Carol Rumes, senior editor of Fortune magazine, wrote, the completion of Alice Wang's self-named building can be said to have pushed itself as an indelible brand image directly to the world.

So, with endless reports from various magazines, newspapers and even TV news, the time soon came to July 9th.

"They're really persevering. ”

When the curtains were lifted in the living room on the first floor, Alice was immediately dazzled by the continuous flashing lights outside.

"Ten people is a small number, after all, today's focus is on the city center. In the dining room, Sophie was frying breakfast bacon, and Oscar and Hannah had gone downstairs early, but they were not as uncommon as their sisters, but they all sat at the table waiting for their meal.

"That's the price of celebrity. James waited for breakfast, flipped through the newspaper, and looked at the headline on the cover, wasn't it the inauguration of the Alice Building. "But as long as it's over for a while, it's fine, the news has a heat problem, just like the current excitement, didn't it just started more than half a month ago. ”

Half a month ago, when the news of the "July 9th Opening and Inauguration Ceremony" came out, Alice had already completed Eton's final exams ahead of schedule. But it's not enough to stay at home all the time, after the completion of the new building, it is the settlement of its various enterprises, but she needs to run all over the country, and she has just come back a few days ago.

"Ah~ No matter what, I'll wait for when Brudy can come over. ”

Alice was still lying on the windowsill, looking out through the cracks in the curtains: "With so many reporters chasing and intercepting them, it would be too cheap to drive your own garage to travel step by step." Ah~Brudy~You kid can't come yet~"

"He's supposed to come after you've eaten. Sophie smiled and brought the bacon to the table, and since she was going to show up today, her blonde hair was already coiled at the back of her head, and the high-end range hood had smoked all the smoke, so she had even painted light makeup. As soon as breakfast is over, I will change into a suit and I will be able to go out immediately.

"Speaking of that Brudy...... James didn't rush to eat, after all, he didn't have to be a college teacher to show his head there: "Alice, you're seventeen years old now, and you don't plan to find a boyfriend?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a very cooperative bang, and someone almost fell.

"Ahh

At the dinner table, the second and third children all laughed. Alice sat back down at the table with a long face and slashed the bacon with a fork.

"Seventeen! It's just seventeen! I said Dad, our family is half of the Chinese family, is it okay, so it really doesn't matter if you're in a hurry to fall in love?"

In fact, when it comes to the growth of the three sons of the Wang family, it is really about the same. The seventeen-year-old eldest daughter is slim, barely a model but not exaggerated height, long legs and long hair are concave and convex, plus that just right mixed-race face, especially with that hot action, it is very appropriate to call her a black and straight girl. It's just that there doesn't seem to be such a setting in Japan at present~

Compared to her sister, Hannah inherited a lot more elements from her mother, especially the crimson wavy hair of her ancestors. So don't look at her only fifteen years old this year, if you really want to talk about physical maturity, it's really not much worse than Alice, it's great that she is a little shorter, but her sweet and sweet temperament is also more like a small jasper.

As for the Oscars...... Hawkers, a sixteen-year-old high school student, avoids the slightly thin physique of ordinary Asian teenagers, and the young man is quite energetic after growing up.

"Okay, if you're not in a hurry, you're not in a hurry. Sophie was not in a hurry at all, and sat down with a smile, "But I and your father are also in the eyes, Alice, you have a good relationship with that soldier named Brudy." Uncle Akman sent so many mercenaries to us, and you ignored it, but he just recruited a front desk in Exeter, how can you not make us think about it?"

"Uh......" So, in the face of another round of laughter, Alice could only roll her eyes.

Of course she's going to bring Brudy over, after all, it's the buddies who went through that chase together......

"But I'm still thinking about the implications. James ate breakfast and said, "Blackwater is a mercenary company after all, although you only plan to arrange an office in Alice Mansion, but isn't it too arrogant?"

"The market, the market. Alice drank most of the bowl of milk in one gulp: "The people we train in Blackwater are not ordinary security guards, and those who can be found are either rich or expensive, which is a great way to increase our comprehensive influence." Don't forget Dad, most people just want a retired soldier-level bodyguard, not a gang to go to the battlefield. Then you think, those bodyguards who are not rich or noble are all my people, how much will it help me to expand my network?"

Of course, parents understand this truth, but James is a student of history, and the wise quote from reading history is not his own invention: "I still suggest that you learn more from Li Ka-shing, don't look at the old man's career development speed is not as fast as you, but he has been safe and quiet for so many years, and he can't hold it without a little reason to behave." Although you are now larger than him, our family is still in the category of nouveau riche. ”

Alice really didn't have anything to say about it. Who's to say no, in five years, people who have made billions of dollars by hand, although they make money efficiently, can't match their lifestyle and worth so quickly. Zuckerberg and Warren Buffett are rare oddities, and some idiots who just won the lottery and lost all their money in the next second are even rarer. Although the Wang family has not changed their mansion now, they have not been stingy in life, in fact, they are already peaceful.

The kind of life model of the wolf of Wall Street, the Wang family collectively said, it is not their own style of painting.

"Well, so I really need to slow down for something else. ”

In this way, Alice took the last few bites of food in two bites: "Anyway, the residence on the top three floors of the building has also been renovated, let's move in two days! Hmm, Mom, I think Brudy should be almost there, hurry up and change clothes and leave~!"

That's what she said to Sophie, because Alice had already jumped upstairs in a hurry. At the same time, the sound of cars parking could be heard outside the house.

"Look, I'll just say they're a little bit smart. Sophie happily lifted the curtains, and there was a flash of reporters, and the extended Rolls-Royce from Alice Tower.

"Husband, Oscar Hannah, you eat slowly, and I also went upstairs to change clothes~"
