Chapter four hundred and eighty-fifth, breakfast before the inauguration ceremony
In late June, Los Angeles ushered in midsummer again, and this summer, this Angel City ushered in a day worth celebrating. The super high-rise skyscraper "Alice Building", which started construction last summer, welcomed the completion ceremony to celebrate the completion of the investment company with high-intensity operations at all costs and took only one year!
Especially since this year, the Los Angeles Times has specially opened a section to track the construction progress and related details of the building throughout the process. For matters like the inauguration ceremony, of course, they will report them in large quantities. In fact, the background image of this entire skyscraper, which is currently the tallest building in the world, has even been published in Times Magazine far away in New York!
It is normal to be published on the cover of the Los Angeles Times, but it is not an ordinary achievement to be published on the cover of the times.
There is no shortage of skyscrapers in the United States, but after all, it is not the 1930s, and few people are willing to invest in such projects anymore. Whenever someone intends to build it, they are just steadily built from the perspective of doing business. Just like the construction owner of this building, the private building of New York real estate tycoon Trump, all seeking a balance between cost and practicality.
But Alice's Building is completely different. Alice's approach of seeking efficiency and not cost is really envious and jealous of many people who are paying attention to it.
It is really feasible to build a skyscraper more than 600 meters high a year. As long as the cost is not included, any individual or institution can do it as long as it has enough funds.
But the problem is that no one will do this!
Such a tall skyscraper has a very terrifying demand for funds. The government needs to seek the consent of the people, and the private sector will not waste money casually. However, Alice is not hesitant to her "hard-earned" wealth and spends a large amount of US dollars here. Three-line rest and full overtime pay, thousands of construction workers are busy at the construction site at every moment. This alone is already shocking, because it is at least equivalent to increasing the construction cost per unit time by more than three times!
Therefore, how can many builders not be asked to test her for her heroic behavior? Therefore, how can the entire Los Angeles citizens not be proud? Therefore, how can the Luocheng Municipal Government not be cheerful and the mayor shouted that he would definitely be re-elected?
Therefore, it is no surprise that the governor and the mayor visited the site together, and the photo of the two and King Alice was on the cover of the Los Angeles Times.
Therefore, the inauguration ceremony was scheduled for July 9th. When this news was released in the Los Angeles Times, I imagine how many people expressed their opinions on it.
Of course, the world's new tallest building will definitely be reproduced in the New York Times and other media. As the construction party of this building, Donald Trump, the New York real estate tycoon selected by Alice, was the first to write a comment on it.
"A sky-high cost of 5 billion US dollars! The construction cycle of at least three years has been compressed to one year. Alice has set a new record and has brought herself huge debts! But I believe that Silicon Valley girls will definitely not take it seriously, because the stock prices of Microsoft and Cisco are soaring!"
There are all capital letters and exclamation marks everywhere. Trump's style is as distinct as ever, and it spreads the girl's name across the country. It can be said that as Carol Rumes, senior editor of Fortune Magazine, wrote an article, the completion of this self-named building by King Alice can be said to have directly promoted itself as an indelible brand image to the whole world.
Therefore, with endless reports of various magazines, newspapers and even television news, it was soon July 9th.
"They are so persistent."
When the curtains were lifted in the living room on the first floor, Alice was immediately dazzled by the flash lights that lit up outside.
"All ten people are missing, after all, the focus today is in the city center." In the restaurant, Sophie was frying breakfast bacon, Oscar and Hannah went downstairs early, but it was not as rare as their sisters. Instead, they sat at the dining table and waited for dinner.
"This is the price of celebrities." James was waiting for breakfast, flipping through the newspaper, and looking at the title of the cover news. Isn't it just about the completion ceremony of Alice Building? "But it will be fine after this time. The news has a hot topic, just like the current lively atmosphere, it just started half a month ago."
Half a month ago, when the news of the "July 9th Ending the Final Ceremony" was released, Alice had already completed Eton's final exam in advance. But it wouldn't be like staying at home. After the new building was completed, it would be the entry of its various companies. She had to travel around the country, and she had just returned for a few days.
"Ah, no matter what, I'll wait for when Brody will come."
Alice was still lying in front of the windowsill, looking outside through the curtains: "So many reporters are chasing each other, if they drive their own garage step by step, it will be too expensive. Oh, Brody, you can't come."
"He's coming after you eat." Sophie smiled and brought the bacon to the dining table. Since she was going to come out today, her blonde hair had already been put on the back of her head, and the high-end range hood took out all the smoke and dust, so she had even put on light makeup. As soon as the breakfast was over, she changed her suit and was able to go out immediately.
"When it comes to that Brody," James was not in a hurry to have a meal. After all, he didn't have to show up there, a college teacher: "Alice, you are already seventeen years old now, don't plan to find a boyfriend?"
As soon as this said, someone almost fell down with a very cooperative bang.
"Ah hey!?"
At the dining table, the second and third brothers laughed. Alice pulled her long face and sat back to the dining table, and forked the middle bacon with a fork.
"Seventeen! It's just seventeen! I said dad, our family is at least half of the Chinese family, so it doesn't matter if you are so anxious to fall in love?"
In fact, when it comes to the growth of the three sons of the Wang family, it is almost the same. The seventeen-year-old girl is graceful and graceful. She is barely considered a model but not exaggeratedly tall. Her long legs and long hair are concave and convex. Plus her perfect mixed-blood face, especially her vigorous action power, which is called the black and long straight vital girl. However, it seems that this setting is not available in Japan at present.
Compared to her sister, Hannah has a lot more elements to inherit her mother, especially her grandparents' crimson wavy hair. So although she is only fifteen years old this year, if you really want to say that her physical maturity is not much worse than Alice. It's amazing that she is a little shorter in height, but her sweet and beautiful temperament also has a kind of jewellery style.
As for the Oscars, a sixteen-year-old high school student avoids the slightly thin physique of ordinary Asian teenagers. The young man is quite energetic when he grows up.
"Okay, don't worry if you don't worry." Sophie didn't worry at all, and sat down with a smile, "But your father and I both see it, Alice, you have a good relationship with the soldier named Brudy. Uncle Akaman sent so many mercenaries to us and you ignored it, but he recruited a front desk in Exeter. How could we not think too much?"
"Uh" So, facing another round of laughter from everyone, Alice could only roll her eyes.
Of course she wanted to recruit Brody, after all, she was a guy who had experienced that chase battle together.
"But I'm still thinking about the impact." James said while eating breakfast: "Hei Shui is a mercenary enterprise after all. Although you only plan to arrange an office in Alice Building, you are not too arrogant?"
"Market, market." Alice drank half a bowl of milk in one sip: "The ones we trained in Hei Shui are not ordinary security guards. The ones we can find are either rich or noble. This is a great way to increase our overall influence. Don't forget, Dad, most people only want a retired military-level bodyguard, not a gang to join the battlefield. Then do you think that those bodyguards who are either rich or noble are my people, how helpful will this be to expand my connections?"
Of course, parents understand this principle, but James is a study of history. He did not invent the famous sayings that read history wisely: "I would rather recommend that you learn more from Li Ka-shing. Although the elder is not as fast as you, he has been safe and sound for so many years, and he has no reason to be a human being. Although your scale is now greater than him, our family is actually a nouveau riche."
Alice has nothing to say about this. Who said that is not? In five years, people who have made billions of dollars in earning money have high efficiency, but they cannot match their lifestyle and value so quickly. Zuckerberg and Buffett are rare strange things. Some idiots who just won the lottery and lost all their money in the next second are even rare. Although the Wang family has not changed their mansions, they are not stingy with their extreme life. In fact, they are already considered calm.
The Wang family collectively said that the lifestyle of the Wolf of Wall Street is not his own style.
"Well, so we should slow down other things."
In this way, Alice clanged her to finish the last few meals: "Anyway, the residence on the third floor of the building has been renovated, so let's move in two days! Well, mom, I think Brody should be coming soon, so change her clothes and leave!"
This sentence was said to Sophie, because Alice had already rushed upstairs. At the same time, the sound of a car parked outside the house was really heard.
"Look, I just said they were a little sympathetic." Sophie happily lifted the curtains, a reporter's flash, and the extended Rolls-Royce driving from Alice Building.
"Husband, Oscar Hannah, you guys eat slowly, I'll go upstairs to change my clothes."
Chapter completed!
