Chapter 423, Skyscrapers rise from the ground

In July of midsummer, it is time for girls to show off their figures in bikini. You can often see men and women dressed in swimsuits on the beachfront road in Santa Monica. The University Brotherhood will not be honest even after the holiday. People from the beach are crowded with girls. The fast food restaurants have completely requested the impact of the off-season. Every shop owner wishes to work part-time in all positions.

Pierce Wiggins was wandering on the beach. The handsome young man wore a pair of beautiful toad glasses and a single pair of beach pants showed his toned figure. He drank a sip of juice from time to time, and his eyes swam around the girls everywhere on the beach. The wheat-colored bikini girl played on beach volleyball. This picture was simply too beautiful. It was rare that he was on vacation today, so Pierce would never miss such an opportunity.

But soon, a blonde beauty attracted all his energy.

That was definitely a model, Pierce Wiggins thought for sure, and it was probably a top lingerie model for Victoria's Secret. Because Pierce clearly saw that her height was hard to see even at fashion weeks in Milan and Paris, but her well-proportioned and graceful figure was definitely not just a simple clothes rack.

The blonde was lying on the beach chair, the fiery red bikini might be expressing her desire for passion, and her enchanting long legs kept attracting the eyes of the male creatures. Pierce walked towards her and saw more clearly. The girl was wearing a pair of toad glasses, as if she was taking a nap. Although her skin was not the most perfect wheat color, her Eastern European-style face brought him an extraordinary desire to conquer.

“Hi, beautiful lady.”

Pierce walked up with his juice: "Is it a privilege to treat you to a drink?"

The girl probably opened her eyes immediately, because the toad lenses looked at Pierce with a glittering light.

"Oh, of course, thank you."

The English accent with a slightly Russian accent was indeed an Eastern European girl from Ukraine, and she might even be a Soviet. When she saw the other party's rosy lips, the smile raised and the deep grooves on her chest, a strong and fierce flame immediately made Pierce's whole body swell.

A drink was quickly delivered to the girl, with an umbrella even inserted into the cup.

"Can I ask your name?"

Pierce asked in an elegant tone, and there happened to be another beach chair next to him, and he sat on it without hesitation.

“Vipur Pushkin.”

The girl's voice was thick and powerful. She took off the mirror and locked her charming eyes on Pierce: "Who are you?"

"My name is Pierce, Pierce Wiggins." He said with a very good feeling of himself: "I am a construction engineer and I'm busy with a great project lately."

"Oh, right?" Vipur Pushkin looked at the pickup with interest while drinking the free juice. "It's amazing. It seems that you are very satisfied with your achievements?"

The other party must be interested in himself. Pierce thought so and said more proudly: "I specialize in architectural design in Rome. After returning to China, I worked at Haps-Wayne Architecture for three years. I just changed jobs and got one... Oh, I guess you don't know yet, right?"

Pierce gave a thumbs up behind him, facing the entire downtown Los Angeles: "There is another skyscraper in the city center, and the planned land is more than 100,000 square feet. Haven't you read the latest news?"

This sentence is indeed too low. Veple turned to look at the sky and said leisurely: "I'm so sorry. Look, I'm not an American. I've only been here for vacation in Los Angeles these days. There are new high-rise buildings in the city center. I'm sorry I really haven't learned about it."

The girl stopped looking at her. Pierce lowered her head awkwardly and quickly opened up the topic: "Ah~ My mistake, my mistake. In fact, in recent days, the Los Angeles Times has often reported this construction project. If you go to the newsstand to buy one now, you will definitely see the latest information."

This sentence saved the girl's interest again, and she looked at Pierce again: "What, is there anything special about this building?"

"Oh, it's so special to say it's special."

It is both within the scope of his profession and responsibilities, and it can arouse the interest of girls. Pierce couldn't help but feel at ease: "Because this office building...ah, of course it is an office building, but it was not built casually by a real estate tycoon, such as Trump in New York or something, but..."

With his style exaggeratedly provoking high notes, Pierce said mysteriously: "Guess?"

The girl looked at him, then turned her head back: "Guess, I won't."

A hammer hit Pierce's chest, but this will only make him more and more courageous: "Alice-Wang! Beautiful lady, I believe you should have heard of the talented Silicon Valley girl who has just become famous in the past two years? The boss of Cisco? The shareholder of Microsoft? The recent "Batman" filming in DreamWorks is also a script written by her."

It was great, Pierce immediately thanked God for Alice's help, because the topic finally aroused the girl's interest completely.

"Oh~ Alice-King~"

She even sat up directly instead of lying lazily on the bench as before: "I recognize her."

"Hi...hee?" This shocked Pierce: "Do you know Alice-Wang? That sixteen-year-old billionaire?"

"Ah, yes." Weipur put on sunglasses again, and the increasing mystery further strengthened her endless charm: "I am an employee of Drakken Drilling Company. A few days ago, Alice Wang had just reached a series of cooperative relationships with us. This business was a preliminary agreement that I personally came to the door."

Pierce couldn't help but want to shout - God, how many times have you kissed me?

Let’s not talk about why I found a common topic with this beauty so easily. The problem is Draken Company. Pierce knows this German century-old drilling company very well. How much God likes him, so that he successfully met such a beautiful woman with an excellent figure, a very beautiful appearance, and a higher vocational career in a multinational company?

"Tell me, look at your project," Weipo said with a smile: "What a big building? Alice-Wang's personal investment?"

This was when he could make himself talk endlessly, Pierce quickly took a sip of juice to moisten his throat.

"I believe you know what it looks like in downtown Los Angeles. Only the most core area is lined with skyscrapers, and other places are relatively short, even three or five-story ordinary buildings. So, Alice-Wang can buy a large piece of land for a very small amount of money, and the demolition of old houses is very convenient. The entire project has only been half a month now, and we have already started laying the foundation."

"Oh, it's only half a month since." Weipur nodded and said, "No wonder you said it has been in newspapers recently, and what about its name?"

"Oh, this is a long story."

It would be good to be able to chat in front of a beautiful woman for one more minute. Pierce said: "I believe you have a lot of knowledge about Alice Wang. Her career is developing too fast. So this building was built for her own use, and the name is very simple and easy to understand, it is the Alice Building."

"Ah~ Alice Building." Weipur's eyes turned after sunglasses and asked meaningfully: "It is normal to name the building by its name, but shouldn't she be the king? Why should she take the first name?"

Pierce shrugged simply and said, "It's a question of pronunciation, Wang Daxia, do you think it sounds good?"

the-wong-building?

Weipur pondered: "There are some truths, especially girls are particularly obsessed with beauty. Chinese surnames are often pronounced monosyllables, so in many cases, they are not suitable for naming buildings or companies..."

"Oh, this is mainly about context." After all, he is also a person who has studied in Italy, and Pierce can still find common ground with girls on this topic.

"I have also learned a little Chinese. It seems that according to their habits, if you really want to name something with a surname, you will add a single word "天" to the back of that surname. For example, Wang's Dasha, Wang's family bamboo, Wang's arts and so on?"

"Oh, Pierce, you are such a linguistic master." Weipur looked at the young man with a smile, his sunglasses were taken off again, and his bright eyes seemed to contain endless charm.

“Where…”

"So, how high is this building to be built, and when will it be completed?"

Pierce said excitedly: "According to the blueprint provided by Ms. Wang, the building is planned to be seven underground floors, one hundred and eight floors above the ground, with a total construction area of ​​more than 4.6 million square feet and a height of more than 1,700 feet. It can accommodate about 12,000 people to work together!"

"Oh... what the hell." Weipur's slender back was straight, and his eyes were even brighter: "A super building that was to be listed in the world's skyscraper rankings, no wonder you said that the Los Angeles Daily was going to report it repeatedly. One thousand seven hundred feet, more than one hundred floors, right? Wait..."

She was stunned, and he knew exactly why she was stunned, so he waited quietly.

"One thousand seven hundred, thirty-two feet, five hundred twenty-eight meters!?"

Weipur said in a loud voice: "If it is really built, wouldn't it be the tallest building!?"

"That's how it is, beautiful lady!"

Pierce laughed and said, "Although we have to admit that it is no longer an era when skyscrapers represent everything, a skyscraper that is more than 500 meters high will become the world's number one skyscraper after completion, which is definitely a record-breaking innovation!"

The man had a reason for him to laugh. From the perspective of a construction engineer, he participated in the construction of this "Alice Building" and was definitely the most important thing in his career!

Vipur Pushkin also stared at the direction of the sea, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
