Chapter 150 Heights

"Okay, Evan…cough…"

Gillard cleared his throat, and he felt a little uncomfortable at this moment when he said all morning.

"From my observations, about half of the dealers expressed some interest in the 'magic building blocks', of which there were about twenty of them who had been confirmed to place orders. Among the remaining dealers, about 10% of those who clearly stated that they would not place orders, and the rest were still under consideration."

"If I observe the statistics without a particularly large deviation, the order quantity of 'magic building blocks' is expected to be between 8 and 12 tons."

"This quantity is smaller than the original estimate made by the marketing department, so it is possible that the factory needs to make corresponding adjustments to the production capacity."

Evan nodded when he heard this and said, "I will decide until the actual order quantity is released."

"What about the card situation?"

Gillard laughed, "The cards are getting much better."

"You may see this Evan better than me."

"In general, the orders may be about 20% higher than we estimate."

"In addition, there are many people who are interested in our joint venture to establish a brand store. Therefore, I think the investment in brand store can be appropriately increased."

"Okay, you can do this!"

Evan has no objection to this.

After Gillard finished reporting, other employees reported the reactions of each media in turn.

After listening to it, Evan made a statistics in his mind, and it was possible that the number of media reported by the game was about 30%.

Compared with the benefits sent, Evan thinks this data has made some profits.

Thinking of this, Evan showed a smile on his face, then he clapped his palms and said, "Okay, I'll drive here. Everyone hurry up and go for dinner, don't relax in the afternoon."

...

Although there was no competition at noon, there were quite a few people visiting the booth area, so the staff in the booth area could only take turns to rest.

After lunch, the Warren family also came to the booth area.

The twins had a lot of fun playing in the magic building block area, because their appearance attracted a lot of people to watch.

The game restarted at 1:00 pm.

The afternoon competition event is blind twisting, because it is more difficult, and the time required for each group of competitions is much more than that for a quick twisting.

At 3:40 pm, the blind twisting competition ended, and the championship belonged to a young man from Georgia.

Jerry from Chicago ranked fourth by one second and failed to get on the podium.

However, Jerry didn't feel regretful at all. He was already very happy that he had achieved this result.

After all the competitions are over, the award ceremony begins at about four o'clock.

The Magic Seven Company invited the members of the parliament and federal officials who attended the morning to serve as award presenters.

After the award ceremony, the organizer did not announce the end of the event, but instead organized a group of people to hold a small card competition.

These people are all newbies who have only learned card rules today. Therefore, the competition situation is frequent and jokes are constantly occurring.

At 6:30 pm, when the sky started to dark, the organizer finally announced the end of the event and the venue began to clear people out.

Of course, at this time, Evan and others had already left.

At 7 p.m., the restaurant of the Albert Hotel.

The Evans and Orville and Rick had dinner together.

Nina was very happy that Evan could meet new friends at school. However, when Nina learned that they had set up a strange club at school, she almost laughed out loud.

The next day, Rick and Orville went out together. Evan didn't know where they went.

In the morning, Evan went to the office. Starting today, Magic Seven Company began to accept orders for two new products: building blocks and cards. At the office, Evan could understand how the order performed as soon as possible.

Evan only stayed in the office for a long time before leaving.

He looked relaxed when he left, which shows that the performance of these two products made Evan very satisfied.

Unable to withstand the repeated riots of the twins (mainly Dora), the Warren family began their journey to visit Manhattan skyscrapers.

The first stop is the Empire State Building.

The "Empire State" in the name of the Empire State Building actually refers to New York, which is the nickname of New York.

By the way, there is another tall building in Manhattan, also called "Empire Building". The difference between the two is whether there is a "state".

The former was the tallest building in the world at this time, located on the west side of Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, between 33rd and 34th Streets. Its building is 381 meters high and was built in 1931. Its owner, EmpireState, Inc, is a group of wealthy investors, including Louis Kaufman, John Raskob, and Pierre duPont. These people have one thing in common, that is, they all worked at General Motors.

The latter is located at 71 Broadway Street, Manhattan Financial District. It is a 21-story (about 69 meters high) steel-frame curtain wall building. It was built in 1898 and has been the headquarters of the American Steel Company since 1901.

The two are very different in size and height.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Warren family of five followed Bob and a few bodyguards to the open-air observation deck on the 86th floor of the Empire State Building.

Tickets are one dollar per person.

Since its completion, it has become a very popular attraction in New York. In the first year (1931), its observation deck's income exceeded one million US dollars, and has increased year by year since then. These incomes greatly alleviated the loss scale of the building.

Standing on the observation deck, visitors can overlook the entire Manhattan as if they were in the air.

With the help of a telescope, you can clearly see Central Park from the north of the observation deck. The nearby Rockefeller Building is very conspicuous; the Hudson River and Jersey City opposite can be seen to the west of the observation deck. There is also no shortage of skyscrapers to the south, such as the tallest building of the New York Metropolitan Life Insurance Building, which was once the tallest building. Of course, the future World Trade Center is still flat at this time; the most conspicuous to the east is the tallest building before the Empire State Building, which is 318.9 meters high and has only become the world's number one for 11 months.

At the top of a tall building, Robert and his two sisters were so excited. If it weren't for the rudeness that they would have kept watching.

Nina took a look and stopped approaching the edge of the observation deck.

The same goes for Evan.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological factor, but when Evan glanced at the ground without using a telescope, he felt cold hands and feet, his heartbeats accelerated, and he was so panicked.

After subconsciously taking a step back, this feeling disappeared.

Evan thinks this may be a fear of heights.

Looking at the three Robert brothers who were not at all abnormal, Evan and Nina looked at each other, and smiled bitterly while wondering.
