Chapter Forty-Eight: The Tower of Babel
"Boss, where are you going?"
"Babel!"
It is the tallest building and man-made structure in the entire federation and even the world, it is located on the shore of Tianhu Lake, 1,228 meters high, with a total of 212 floors, and a cost of 23 billion federal coins, which is jointly invested and built by three giant enterprises.
It was originally called the Tower of Hamenita, but because of its height reaching into the sky and its cone-like shape, everyone habitually called it the Tower of Babel.
The facilities of the Tower of Babel include luxury hotels, private clubhouses, luxury apartments, top-of-the-line office buildings, upscale nightclubs, and a viewing platform on the 200th floor overlooking the entire city of Harmony.
And the world's most famous fashion designer Bordman Goodman, also built the first Goodman Hotel in the building, becoming the flagship store of the global chain of Goodman hotels, all the interior decoration, furniture design all follow the style of Goodman brand, from the inside to the outside are high-end atmosphere, poor luxury, of course, the price is naturally expensive no friends.
The reason why these big companies will spend such a large sum of money on the city of Harmoni is mainly because of its unique economic position and natural environment.
As the capital of Harmoni State, Harmoni City is not only the economic center of the state, but also the economic center of the whole federation.
As for the Shenhai Special Zone, the capital of the Federation, it is just the seat of the Congress, thinking that back then, in order to minimize the impact of the Congress on the economic field, the major enterprises specially selected a small fishing village with little economic potential as the federal capital, so that the Shenhai Special Zone has been developing so far, and the economic strength in the whole Federation can only be regarded as the middle stream.
Then there is the natural environment of Harmoni City, which is also second to none in the whole federation, all year round such as spring, the temperature difference is very small, although the temperature in autumn and winter is slightly lower, but it is also frost and no snow, the climate is very pleasant, plus it has the sea in the east, the river in the south, the lake in the west, and the mountains in the north, it is completely a collection of various livable elements in one, so there is no suspense to occupy the top of the list of livable cities in the region for a long time.
Moreover, in a natural crescent-shaped harbor more than ten kilometers northeast of the city, there is a full ten kilometers long, snow-white and soft sandy beach, coupled with the gorgeous and charming sea water like sapphire in the bay, it is simply a blessed place for leisure and vacation.
However, like most of the good things in the world, such a perfect gem bay will naturally not be something that ordinary people can enjoy at will.
The 10-star hotels of various brands in the world are lined up in the bay, and all the land that can be circled inside is clean, and all the beaches have become the private beaches of the hotel, and even an inch of public beach has not been left for the people, which is really too decadent and degenerate!
But having said that, this corrupt and unusually loose political and economic environment is also the main factor why District 27 has been able to successfully attract foreign investment from all regions under extremely unfavorable circumstances such as lack of natural resources and small territory.
Moreover, it is precisely because of these foreign investments from all over the world that District 27 has been able to maintain sustainable economic development, market prosperity and stability, and steady growth of national strength all year round, and then develop into the most international area among the 40 protected areas in the world.
Therefore, its economic center, the city of Harmini, has naturally become the most famous cosmopolitan city in the world.
And Li Ruixian's destination, the World Mall under the Tower of Babel, is the best epitome of this cosmopolitan city.
Rolling down the window, Li Rui let the howling wind blow on his face, and only in this way could he cool down his excited mood at this moment.
It is said that he used to go to roadside stalls and small commodity markets, and he had never entered a department store to buy anything, so he went to such a high-end shopping center to be corrupt, and he was the first time that he was a big girl in a sedan chair.
It is said that the Internet science popularization said that there are 70 football fields in the world shopping center, even if the woman with the strongest combat power enters, she has to go shopping for five days and five nights to barely finish, if the person with a bad sense of direction enters, maybe you will get lost!
Moreover, the mall also brings together the flagship stores of all the world's first-line brands, and the food court has more delicacies from all over the world, not to mention various mainstream cuisines from District 1 to District 40, and even the strange meals of some large black tribes in District 14 can be found in the original.
In addition, the mall also has a variety of attractions such as an indoor giant aquarium, a real ice skating rink, a large supermarket, a movie theater, and an outdoor laser music fountain and the world's tallest tower, the Tower of Babel, so it attracts tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world every day to shop and play.
What's even more outrageous is that the city of Harmoni has set up a test area within four kilometers of the Tower of Babel, in which it is completely legal to operate casinos and a certain special industry, as long as you pay taxes on time, there is no problem, so it is conceivable that the number of these two types of establishments is really a sea.
So, this Babel Tower is not only the tallest building in the world, but also represents a world's top depraved paradise, as long as you have money, you can satisfy any of your desires in it, beautiful food and beauty is not a thing, even if you like, eagle cute girls, Thai specialties and other kinds of hunting tastes, it is also everywhere, you can choose.
However, Li Rui didn't have that kind of heavy taste idea when he came this time, because it was only six o'clock now, and it was still far from the hunting time, so he just wanted to come and buy a few clothes, and by the way, experience what it was like to experience Fallen Heaven.
After all, it is claimed that it is tens of thousands to buy and buy casually, thousands to eat a meal, and tens of millions are not enough to spend, since he already has millions, wouldn't he make so much money in vain if he didn't give it a try?
You must know that in three months, he will go to the battlefield and face all kinds of unknown monsters, if he accidentally hangs up at that time, and the millions in his hand have not been spent, wouldn't it be too sad?
"Hehe, buddy, is he rich? Ready to go chic? As soon as the elder brother saw Li Rui's appearance, he knew that this was another nouveau riche.
"Almost, so-so." Li Rui laughed and poured a mouthful of wind.
Seeing that the guest was not interested in talking nonsense with him, his brother didn't say anything, just continued to drag the car with all his heart, anyway, there are no cars on the road now, and the faster you run, the next job can be pulled quickly, isn't it?
It didn't take long for the taxi to soar all the way to the destination, and then Li Rui directly threw down a 100-yuan blue ticket, and under the surprised gaze of his brother, he swaggered out of the car, and shook his head without looking back.
"No need to look for it!"
