The Goddess Shines on America

It was rare to eat at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown so formally, and also chose a private room. Of course, Alice would not order two buns and dumplings hastily. Tofu mixed with shallots and chicken feet are served first, followed by char siew in honey sauce and steamed grouper. Cantonese cuisine has become one of the most influential cuisines overseas, thanks to its generally light and sweet taste. Of course, this restaurant has more than this kind of cuisine, so Alice did not forget to order some Sichuan and Hunan meat dishes to enjoy.

It is not difficult to teach Monica to use chopsticks, but practice makes perfect after all, it still takes time, especially when dealing with grouper, in the end it was really impossible, and Alice used the serving chopsticks to hold her to eat. As for knives, forks and spoons, no one would do that kind of thing that spoils the scenery.

"Incomparable, really incomparable!" The only companion is also a girl, Monica has no need to hold back the image of gluttony, honey sauce pork and farmhouse fried pork, Sichuan spicy chicken and fish-flavored eggplant stew, she has loved it from the very beginning I can't put down my chopsticks at all.

"What is the name of the Chinese food I ate before! After all, I still have to go with an expert to get it... Well...it can't be this delicious, how can it be so delicious? It's so delicious!"

"Fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, wood shu meat, sweet and sour meat, all kinds of roast chicken, some of them belong to the fast food category..."

Seeing that Monica even shed tears, Alice really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. The recipes of the British are known to be monotonous and bland, and they are mainly light. Sichuan Spicy Chicken... Monica, is it really okay for you to eat in such a hurry?

"Slow down, slow down, Chinese restaurants always pay attention to talking about things at the dinner table, eat slowly, don't worry."

In this way, after Monica was full of wine and food, a lot of time had indeed passed, and the real purpose of this meeting, the report work, could start.

"It's so delicious... hiccup!"

Monica patted her swollen chest, sat next to Alice at the round table, flipped through the documents in the folder, and introduced them to her.

The most obvious basic advantage of commercial real estate companies is that they can directly set up their companies in the established industries, that is, in the office buildings they build. So Monica is directly choosing a location for "Vanda Plaza, Manhattan, New York". As for the temporary branch location, it is not important.

"Ignore the north of Central Park. There are no development zones in Manhattan, and the other places are even more nonsense." The basic principles can be established in an instant. Queens and Brooklyn are all low-rise squares during World War II. Race and culture may be a paradise for artists, but in essence they can only prove that they are residential areas for foreign populations. Thinking about the size of New York City, Brooklyn has a central business district after Manhattan, and the truth is self-evident.

"In the downtown area...Wall Street, with a length of more than 500 meters, large bank headquarters, insurance companies, exchanges, investment companies, skyscrapers... There is absolutely no room for us to intervene."

Even without standing on top of the torch of the Statue of Liberty, Alice knows what the southernmost tip of Manhattan is. A small piece of Battery Park at the southernmost end is a little north, where twenty or thirty skyscrapers are clustered together, like the sharp thorns on a mace, with a clear sense of existence, an absolute battle for every inch of land, and there is no room for one "Plaza" exists.

Alice's positioning of Vanda Square is very clear, the center of the city, how can there be any reason to be crowded with another center?

Of course, she can't just say big things like making it another center of Manhattan, after all, the entire island is full of skyscrapers.

New York is the CBO of the United States.

Manhattan is the CBD of New York.

As for the CBD in Manhattan, there are two.

One is the financial district in the southernmost part of the island, which is Wall Street oriented although it is also home to many other companies. Does Alice plan to set up an "Alice Financial Investment Company" or "Alice Bank"? Of course, there is no need to go there to join in the fun. What's more, the spikes on the mace should not be too obvious. Isn't the reason why the World Trade Center was hit because it is the most outstanding tall building here?

The second one is Midtown, which started later than the downtown, but just rightly became the commercial center of the whole island after the financial district. It is headed by the 19 buildings of the Rockefeller Center, and includes the Radio City Music Hall, the Empire State Building, and important transportation hubs such as New York Central Station, Pennsylvania Station, and the New Airport Port Authority. If downtown is the thorn in the mace, then this is the most crowded and bustling area on the island, and it is also the area with the highest density of skyscrapers in the world.

The boundaries of Midtown are blurred. The most representative method is to divide the south from Fortieth Street to the north by one mile to the south of Central Park, plus the east-west Third to Ninth Streets. It also put Rockefeller Center in the central area.

"South of Midtown, north of Downtown..."

In this way, Alice's fingers locked on a general area: "The middle position, the area north of Washington Park, is a huge area, and the height of the buildings is all average. Monica... you say we..."

Flicking back and forth on the map with her finger, her heart was pounding, Alice took a deep breath: "How about building another Rockefeller Center!?"

Monica's eyes widened in an instant: "Vanda Square in the nineteenth building!?"

Absolutely appalling behavior, in Manhattan, where every inch of land is expensive, isn't that building counted by tens of millions? Even as early as the 1930s, it was the Rockefeller family who invested in building this level of buildings. Even if Alice has developed at an amazing speed in the past few years, how can there be such capital! ?

"Relax, I didn't say that the goal will be achieved soon, did I?" At least seeing Monica's astonished look, Alice didn't say this in vain: "Besides, the housing prices in that area are still relatively cheap. Isn’t our development strategy to choose underdeveloped areas to lead the development? Forgot?”

Monica's professionalism is superb, so she recovered after a moment of astonishment, but she had to take a deep breath before finally recovering.

"Tell me about your plan, Alice. If you really want to build a building complex of this scale, we must deal with the people in the Upper East Side. This is the first step."

Admittedly, how could a new Rockefeller Center be built without ignoring New York's wealthy class? Similarly, the mayor of New York and the relevant dignitaries of the Ministry of Land and Resources will inevitably have to contact them seriously. Even if a nouveau riche with no roots and no background has a lot of money, it is definitely a dream to win such a level of project.

"The office building itself does not occupy a large area. The most important thing is the connecting belt between multiple buildings. The asphalt road cannot be erased, and it must be connected. So Monica, our main concern is the land price."

While saying these words, Alice was also flipping through the information Monica had sorted out. Fortunately, she had already called the corresponding real estate company on the plane, and in just one morning, she sorted out most of the documents in Manhattan. Current prices for skyscrapers.

"You are right. If you choose the underdeveloped area, hehe, the land price is indeed more important." Monica was also amused by this description, and she immediately took out another folder from her purse. Is there an island-wide real estate data set marked by land price?

"Money is not a problem, and we are not in a hurry to start work in three or two years. Like you said, just getting along with those people in the Upper East Side is enough trouble." Alice flipped through the documents and said , although Monica was nervous, but of course she had a complete plan in mind.

You know, it is already the autumn of 1989, and the mark of the 1990s is about to start. Even if you only consider the golden period of the Internet, how much profit can you bring? In 1999, Microsoft, Cisco, and Intel firmly occupied the top three positions in the market capitalization of global companies, all of which were worth 500 billion US dollars. As long as she, Alice, holds one-fifth of the shares, it is equivalent to A worth of 200 billion US dollars!

It is true that the wealth of John Rockefeller at his peak is now, especially in the 21st century, fully equal to 400 billion US dollars. If calculated by one-fifth, Alice is still only half of his level, but if it is just to build the "second Rockefeller Center", obviously it does not need to reach his level.

What's more, this is still estimated from the lowest limit.

"Monica, never underestimate the economic prospects of mankind, especially here in Manhattan."

When Alice said these words, Monica asked herself, she couldn't think of what kind of development plan the boss had. As an employee, she has one of the deepest understandings of this girl. How terrifying the potential economic benefits of the Exeter Research Center are. Just now, she can imagine an unimaginable conclusion, not to mention the actual Woolen cloth?

"I believe you will."

The seemingly incoherent dialogue between the boss and the secretary is precisely the tacit understanding between the two people full of subtext. Alice smiled softly, and then suddenly brought up a seemingly irrelevant topic.

"Monica, you haven't eaten high-calorie food in the past few days, why don't we get an injection?"

Monica raised her eyebrows: "That's impossible, the tests haven't been completed yet, I don't want to use products that haven't been approved for marketing."

So, Alice flipped her palm and made a gesture of asking: "Then let the drug inspection department pass quickly. I believe that with the guarantee from the Windsor royal family, we can still simplify the procedures to the greatest extent, right?"
