It is rare to have a meal at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown so formally, and I chose a private room. Of course, Alice would not order two buns and dumplings. Spicy green onions and tofu and chicken feet first, then honey char siu and steamed grouper. Cantonese cuisine can become one of the most influential dishes overseas, and its generally light and sweet taste is of great significance. Of course, this restaurant is more than this one, so Alice has not forgotten to order some Sichuan and Hunan meat dishes to enjoy.

It is not difficult to teach Monica to use chopsticks, but it takes time to practice to make perfect. Especially when dealing with grouper, it is really not possible in the end. Alice only uses public chopsticks to feed her. As for the knife and fork, no one can do such a big shame.

"Incomparable, really unparalleled!" The only companion was also a girl. Monica could not resist the need for the image of Taotie. She had no choice but to put down her chopsticks from the beginning.

"What are the Chinese foods I used to be called! After all, you still have to pass through with experts... Well... it cannot be so delicious, how can it be so delicious? It's so delicious!"

"Fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, Mushu meat, sweet and sour meat, various roasted chickens, some of them belong to the fast food category..."

Seeing Monica even shed tears, Alice really should cry or laugh. The British recipes are the monotonous and boring that are famous all over the world, and they are mainly light. Sichuan-flavored spicy chicken... Monica, you really don't matter if you eat so urgently?

"Slow down, slow down, Chinese restaurants are always concerned about talking about things at the dinner table. Eat slowly, and don't worry."

In this way, after Monica had enough wine and meals, time had indeed passed a lot, and the real purpose of this meeting was to report work just started.

“It’s so delicious… hiccup!”

Monica patted her bloated chest and sat next to Alice on the round table, flipping through the information in the folder and introducing it to her.

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

"Ignore directly to the north of the Central Park. There is no development zone in Manhattan, and the other places are even more nonsense." The basic principles can be established instantly. Queens and Brooklyn are all mainly low-level squares during World War II. The diverse races and culture may be paradise for artists, but in essence they can only prove that they are residential areas for foreign populations. Think about the huge New York City, which is not only the central business district after Brooklyn has a central business district, so the truth is self-evident.

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

Even if you don't have to stand on the torch of the Statue of Liberty and look at it, Alice knows what kind of virtue is the southernmost end of Manhattan Island. A small piece of Battery Park at the southernmost end is slightly north, and twenty or thirty skyscrapers are gathered there, like a sharp thorn on a mace. It is an absolute place to fight for inches of land and can't stand the existence of a "plaza".

Alice's positioning of vanda Square is very clear. The center of the city, how can it be squeezed together with another center?

Of course, she couldn't just say such big talk as making it another center in Manhattan, after all, there were skyscrapers everywhere in the entire island.

New York is the American C-wave.

Manhattan is a new york cbd.

As for the CBD in Manhattan, there are two.

One is the southernmost financial district of the island. Although it also has many other companies, it is still oriented towards Wall Street. Does Alice plan to set up an "Alice Financial Investment Company" or "Alice Bank"? Of course, there is no need to join in the fun. Moreover, 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 is the Midtown area, which rose later than the Lower City area, but it became the commercial center of the entire island after the Financial District. It was headed by the nineteen buildings in the Rockefeller Center, and included the Radio City Music Hall, Empire State Building, New York Central Station, Pennsylvania Station, New New South Way Port and other important transportation hubs. If the Lower City area is a spike on the mace, then this is the most crowded, prosperous and the area with the highest density of skyscrapers in the world.

The boundaries of Midtown are blurred. The most representative method is to divide them from the length of 40th Street in the south to the south of Central Park. In addition, the east-west Third to Ninth Streets just paint the Rockefeller Center in the central area.

"South of the Central City, north of the Lower City..."

In this way, Alice's finger locked a general area: "The middle position, the area north of Washington Park, is a very large area, and the building height is very average. Monica...you say we..."

As her fingers slashed back and forth on the map, her heart pounding, Alice took a deep breath: "How about building another Rockefeller Center!?"

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

An absolutely terrifying behavior, Manhattan, where every inch of land is worth every inch, isn't that building counted in billions? Even in the 1930s, it was the Rockefeller family who invested in building a building complex of this level. Even if Alice has developed at an astonishing pace in recent years, how could she have such capital?

"Let's relax, I didn't say I'm going to achieve my goal soon, right?" At least looking at Monica's shocked look, Alice's words were not in vain: "Besides, the housing prices in that area are relatively cheap. Isn't our development strategy just to choose underdeveloped areas before leading the development? Forgot?"

Monica's professionalism is superb, so she came back to her senses after a moment of shock, but she had to take a deep breath before she finally recovered.

"Tell me your plan, Alice, if you really want to build a complex of such a size, we must also handle relationships with the people in the Upper East Side. This is the first step."

Indeed, how could a new Rockefeller Center be built without ignoring the wealthy class in New York? Similarly, the mayor of New York and the relevant politicians of the Ministry of Land and Resources are inevitably involved in serious contact. Even if the rootless nouveau riche is rich, it is absolutely a dream to win such a level of project.

"The office building itself does not cover a large area. What is important is the connection between multiple buildings. That is the real money-intensive place, but it can best demonstrate the strength of a consortium. Since our industry has been made into a square, even if the asphalt road cannot be erased, it must be connected together. So Monica, we are mainly concerned about land prices."

As she said these words, Alice was also flipping through the information compiled by Monica. Fortunately, she had called the corresponding real estate company on the plane. In just one morning, she sorted out the current prices of most skyscrapers in Manhattan.

"You are right. If you choose that underdeveloped area, haha, the land price is indeed more important." Monica was also amused by this description. She then took out another folder from her bag. Isn't it just a collection of real estate information for the entire island marked by the land price?

"Money is not a problem, and we are not in a hurry to start work in three or two years. As you said, it is troublesome to just get along with the people in the Upper East Side." Alice looked through the information and said, although Monica was nervous, she certainly had a complete plan in her mind.

You know, it is the fall of 1989, and the 1990s mark is about to open. Even if you only consider the golden period of the Internet, how much profit can you bring? In 1999, Microsoft, Cisco, and Intel firmly dominated the top three global companies' market value, all of which are 500 billion US dollars in terms of the 500 billion US dollars. As long as Alice accounts for one fifth of the shares, it is equivalent to a net worth of 200 billion US dollars!

It is true that John Rockefeller's wealth at his peak is now, especially in the 21st century, which is equivalent to 400 billion US dollars. If calculated as one-fifth, Alice is only half of his, but if it only builds the "second Rockefeller Center", it is obviously not necessary to really reach his level.

Besides, this is estimated from the lowest limit.

"Monica, you never have to underestimate the economic prospects of mankind, especially this is Manhattan."

When Alice said these words, Monica asked herself, and she could not imagine what kind of development plans the boss had. As an employee, her understanding of this girl was one of the deepest. How terrible is the potential economic interests of the Exeter Research Center? Just now, she can imagine an unimaginable conclusion, let alone the reality?

"I believe you will do it."

The boss and secretary seemed to have a conversation that was inconsistent with the foreword, which was precisely the two of them who were full of subtext. Alice then smiled softly, and then suddenly threw out a seemingly irrelevant topic.

"Monica, you have eaten a lot of high-calorie foods in recent days, why don't we just give it a shot?"

Monica raised her eyebrows: "That's not possible. The test has not been completed yet. I don't want to use a product that has not been approved for the market."

So Alice flipped her palm and made an invitation: "Then let the drug inspection department pass it as soon as possible. I believe that with the Windsor Royal Family as a guarantee, we can simplify the procedures to the greatest extent, right?"
Chapter completed!
