The Goddess Shines on America

It's summer again in Los Angeles in late June, and this summer, the City of Angels has a day to celebrate. The super high-rise skyscraper "Alice Tower", which started construction last summer, has ushered in the inauguration ceremony to celebrate its completion in just one year under the high-intensity work of the investor at all costs!

Especially since this year, the "Los Angeles Times" has set up a special section to track the progress of the building's construction and related details. Therefore, events such as the inauguration ceremony, of course, will be reported in a large and lengthy manner. In fact, the background picture of this entire skyscraper, currently the tallest building in the world, was even published in the "Time" magazine in New York!

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

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. And whenever someone plans to build it, they just build it safely from the perspective of doing business, just like the owner of the construction party of this building, the private building owned by New York real estate tycoon ***, they are all looking for cost and practicality. balance point.

But the Alice Building is very different. Alice's approach of only seeking efficiency, not cost, really envied and hated countless people who were paying attention.

It is really feasible to build a skyscraper with a height of more than 600 meters in one year. As long as the cost is not considered, any individual or organization can certainly do it as long as they have sufficient funds.

But the problem is, no one would do that at all!

Such a tall skyscraper has a terrible need for funds. The government needs to seek the consent of the people, and private individuals will not waste money casually. However, Alice does not hesitate to spend a large sum of money on her "hard-earned" net worth. Dollars are spent here. There are three shifts of rest and full overtime pay. Thousands of construction workers are busy on the construction site every moment. This alone is enough to make people speechless, because it is at least equivalent to increasing the construction cost per unit time by three times. More than double!

So, how can you not make many builders wonder at her feat? So, how can you not make the entire Los Angeles citizen proud? So, how could the Los Angeles city government not be elated, and the mayor shout that he would definitely be re-elected?

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

Therefore, the inauguration ceremony was scheduled for July 9th. When this news was published in the "Los Angeles Times", how many people expressed their views on it.

Of course, the new tallest building in the world will definitely be reproduced in the "New York Times" and other media. And 1, as the construction party of this building, the New York real estate tycoon Donald *** who was somehow selected by Alice Wang was the first to write a comment on it.

"The sky-high cost of US$5 billion! The construction period of at least three years has been compressed to one year. Alice Wang has set a new record and made herself a huge debt! But I believe that the Silicon Valley girl will definitely not Take it seriously because Microsoft and Cisco are skyrocketing!"

There are all capital letters and exclamation points everywhere, and the style of *** is as distinctive as ever, and the girl's name is resoundingly spread throughout the country. It can be said that, as the senior editor of "Fortune" magazine Carol Rumes wrote, the completion of Alice Wang's self-named building can be said to have directly promoted herself as an indelible brand image to the world. world.

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

"They're really persistent."

The living room on the first floor opened the curtains, and Alice was immediately dazzled by the continuous flashing lights outside.

"Ten people are less. After all, today's focus is in the city center." In the restaurant, Sophie was frying bacon for breakfast. Oscar and Hannah went downstairs early, but they were not as rare as their sister. Instead, they all sat at the dining table in a proper manner and waited for dinner.

"This is the price of celebrity." James waited for breakfast, flipped through the newspaper, and looked at the headlines of the important news on the cover. Isn't it about the inauguration ceremony of the Alice Building. "But as long as it's been a while, it will be fine. There is a problem with the popularity of the news. Just like the current enthusiasm, didn't it start more than half a month ago?"

More than half a month ago, when the news that "the inauguration ceremony will be held on July 9" came out, Alice had already completed Eton's final exam ahead of schedule. But it is not enough to say that she always stays at home. After the completion of the new building, various companies under her will move in. She needs to travel all over the country, and she has only just returned for a few days.

"Ah~ don't care, don't care, I'll just wait for Brody to come over."

Alice was still lying on the window sill, looking outside through the curtains: "So many reporters are chasing and intercepting, it would be too cheap to drive your own garage step by step. Ah~Brudy~you haven't come here~"

"He should be here after you finish eating." Sophie put the bacon on the dining table with a smile. Even light makeup has already been painted. As soon as breakfast is over, I change into my suit and I can go out immediately.

"Speaking of that Brody..." James was not in a hurry to eat, after all he didn't have to go there as a university teacher to show his face: "Alice, you are also seventeen years old now, don't you plan to find a boyfriend?"

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

"Ah hello!?"

At the dining table, the second and third children all burst into laughter. Alice sat back at the dining table with a long face, and fiercely forked the middle strip of bacon.

"Seventeen! It's only seventeen! I said Dad, our family is half Chinese, okay, so is it really okay to be anxious about falling in love?"

In fact, when it comes to the growth rate of the third son of the Wang family, it's almost the same. The seventeen-year-old eldest daughter is slim and graceful, barely considered a model but not exaggeratedly tall, with long legs and long hair, plus a well-proportioned mixed-race face, especially coupled with her fast-paced mobility, she can be called a black, long, straight and energetic girl. It couldn't be more appropriate. However, the current Japan does not seem to have such a setting~

Compared with her elder sister, Hannah inherited much more elements from her mother, especially her grandparents' dark red wavy hair. So despite the fact that she is only fifteen years old this year, in terms of physical maturity, she is really not much worse than Alice. What is remarkable is that she is a little shorter in height, but her sweet and beautiful temperament is also more like Xiaojiabiyu's demeanor.

As for Oscar... Well, a sixteen-year-old high school student, who avoided the thin physique of ordinary Asian teenagers, and the young man was quite energetic when he grew up.

"Okay, don't worry if you're not in a hurry." Sophie was not in a hurry at all, she sat down with a smile and said, "But your father and I are also aware of it, Alice, your relationship with that soldier named Brody It’s not bad. Uncle Akaman sent so many mercenaries to us and you ignored him, but he recruited a receptionist from Exeter, how can we not make us think about it?”

"Uh..." So, facing another round of laughter from the crowd, Alice could only roll her eyes.

Of course she wanted to recruit Brody, after all, they were buddies who went through that chase together...

"But I'm still thinking about the impact." James said while eating breakfast, "Blackwater is a mercenary company after all. Although you only plan to set up an office in Alice Building, aren't you being too crazy?"

"The market, it's the market." Alice drank half a bowl of milk in one gulp, "The trainees we Blackwater train are not ordinary security guards, and those who can find them are either rich or expensive. This is a great way to increase our overall influence. Don't worry." Forget about dad, most people just want a retired military bodyguard, not a gang to go to the battlefield. Then you think, the bodyguards of those who are either rich or noble are my people, which will help me expand my network How much help?"

Parents of course understand this truth, but James studies history, and he didn’t invent his wise sayings when reading history: “I still suggest you learn more from Li Ka-shing, regardless of the speed at which the elder develops his career. Not as good as you, but he has been safe and sound for so many years, and he has no sense of being a human being, but he can't support it. Although you are bigger than him now, our family is still in the category of nouveau riche."

In this regard, Alice really has nothing to say. Who says it's not? In five years, a person who earns billions of dollars by hand, although the efficiency of making money is high, can't fully match his lifestyle with his worth so quickly. Both Zuckerberg and Buffett are rare creatures, and some idiots who just won the lottery and lost all their money in the next second are even rarer. Although the Wang family didn't change their luxury house now, they didn't live an extremely stingy life. In fact, they already had a peaceful mind.

The life style of The Wolf of Wall Street, the Wang family collectively said, is not their own style of painting.

"Well, so I really need to slow down other things."

In this way, Alice slammed the last few meals: "Anyway, the residence on the top three floors of the building has been renovated, and we will move in two days! Well, Mom, I think Brody should be here soon, change clothes quickly Leave~!"

This sentence was said to Sophie, because Alice had already rushed upstairs in a hurry. At the same time, the sound of a car parked outside the house really came.

"Look, I just said that they have a good understanding." Sophie happily lifted the curtains, and there was a flash of reporters, as well as the stretched Rolls-Royce driving from the Alice Building.

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