Manhattan Reborn 1978

When the three Davids were laughing happily because of their success in spoofing Black Mike.

Also this afternoon.

On the other side, on the fifth floor of Da Company, Lu Di's new office welcomed the first batch of guests.

Ludy sat behind the big desk, chatting with the two people opposite him with a relaxed expression.

Opposite are Tom and Vince.

Vince, whose full name is Vincent Martino, is Ludy's very effective money-making tool.

An Italian who grew up in Brooklyn.

A few years ago, he was accidentally discovered by Ludy by chance.

At that time, he was working in a Korean restaurant in Brooklyn and wanted to persuade the owner to turn the restaurant into a bar open at night.

Because the restaurant only has a few tables of customers and a few take-out orders these days, it is almost unstoppable.

The owner of the Korean restaurant, Jin, said, "Either get out or stay here, I'll be happy if the restaurant loses money."

No choice, Vince left Brooklyn and came to work as a bartender in a bar on 33rd Street in Manhattan.

When Lu Di went to collect money once, he saw that this guy could chat with every drinker, and his communication and communication skills were fully equipped.

So I became interested in him and wanted to test it out with a small investment.

Ludy helped him open a bar called Hit-Hot on 45th Street.

When Vince went to collect the money every week, he didn't miss a penny.

Ludy said that apart from Wildfire, Vince is the guy with the cleanest hands and feet among his tools.

They even reduced the weekly dividends of some hit-hot bars to give some profits to Vince.

Ludy told him: "I'm not greedy. As long as you work hard, you can make more money, the kind that can be deposited in the bank and spent on writing checks."

Today was because Ludy had quit the gang and made it clear to Vince that he had to be taken away.

Tom brought Vince who looked confused.

Ludy spat at the two of them and said, "Tom, after I quit, will you take my place?"

Tom smiled happily: "Yes Ludy, I really want to thank you!"

Ludy waved his hand and said: "No! Actually, I want to thank you! Tom, I have found what I want to do and what I like to do."

"Sr. Malkin has notified all the gang bosses and leaders in New York City and is preparing for everyone to sit down for a meeting with Chief Commissioner Hardman of the city police department."

Tom suppressed his smile and looked a little weird: "Yes, I heard about it too. Is this thing caused by the DA security company's preparation to cooperate with the police?!"

Ludi sat up straight and propped up his upper body with his elbows: "da Security has already discussed some business cooperation with Hardman. You will know the specific details at the meeting."

"Tom, how long have we known each other?"

"About ten years?"

"It's nine years and seven months! Tom, what I want to say now is because I have quit and you are still in the gang. No matter what other gangs decide in this meeting, its outcome is already determined."

"Gangs are slowly being eliminated by the world and society."

"Tom, if you understand what I'm saying, stop touching those drugs and stop contacting those gangs in Brooklyn."

Tom's smile began to stiffen and he sat up straighter: "You know?"

"Yes, I've always known it. I've known it since last year, when you and brother Vince started making little moves together."

He stopped Tom from explaining.

"No, Tom, you don't need to say anything more to me now. These things have nothing to do with me. I just want to tell you that if this meeting is over, the whole of New York will face a big reshuffle. I don't want you to be one of them. A victim!”

Tom was silent. He had never talked like this with Ludy.

He has followed Ludy through Manhattan since he was a teenager, and has killed more than a dozen people.

If a bad guy had a performance review, he would definitely be in the blood-stained, evil-doing category.

Of course, Ludy wasn't much better.

But now that he has quit, it is said that Ludy is already looking for ways to clean up the police department's files.

By then he will be a thoroughly clean man.

Ludy's words made Tom, a nervous guy, understand that this was the last time they had such a candid conversation.

Meeting each other in the future can only be by chance.

Ludy stood up, came to Tom, and hugged him.

The two of them went out and went downstairs.

Vince was invisible throughout the whole process, smoking quietly and watching.

By the time Ludy came back, Vince figured it out.

This is his only chance to escape the gang's control.

Ludy was the one who pulled him ashore, and he had to catch him.

It is very difficult for gang members to quit, just like Ludy. Without the help of old Malkin, there is no way to even think about it!

A tool man like Vince has no option to quit.

Unless you spend most of your income to buy your life, it depends on the specific situation.

Ludy looked at Vince: "You heard everything just now, have you thought clearly?"

"I'll quit hit-hot and come to you to help!"

"Hahaha~ Very good! My friend, I believe you will be happy with the right choice today!"

Ludy smiled and shook hands with Vince, who had a wry smile on his face.

The two sat down again.

Ludy talked about his new business, a nightclub.

Including all the details that David had told him.

Vince listened quietly and asked some small questions. After getting the answers, he thought about the feasibility.

"Da Security will be fully responsible for the safety of this store. The security at the entrance and inside the store are their people and are managed by you. Things outside the door are handled by DA Security and the police."

"If you nod now, you will be the manager of the first da nightclub."

"Of course Ludy, as long as those trivial shit issues don't happen, I can guarantee that this store will become your hottest playground in Manhattan."

Lu Di laughed happily: "Okay! Let's go check out the venue later. It's already being renovated. The waitresses in the store will come from the service company. Their salary service company will settle the accounts with you on a weekly basis."

"In the past few days, the soda factory will send samples of fruit and vegetable juices. You can find someone to study the recipe of the new cocktail. We need to control the cost of free wine."

Ludy also told Vince some of David's good business ideas, such as alcohol-free nights, band carnival nights, etc.

The two chatted for a long time before Vince said goodbye and left.

Ludy sat down, rubbing his head and thinking.

Vince was relieved to leave the nightclub to him.

Now all that remains is the choice of club manager.

This person is hard to find!

Let’s not talk about Ludy who has a headache.

On David's side, the trio arrived at his apartment upstairs.

Susan was still lying in bed, and David closed the bedroom door.

In the living room, he told Lavis in detail about the company and the security company.

Lavis said he wanted to work in a security company first to get used to it.

After all, there are many veterans there who have also retired, so we can find some topics to talk about, and hopefully we can all become friends.

David left him the phone numbers of his company and apartment, and Lavis also knew where Black Mike lived.

Tell him to come to Black Mike when he's ready.

Before leaving, he asked White Mike to find Black Mike and tell him that this was a prank and not to scare that idiot out of New York again.

Then everyone laughed and dispersed, each going back to his home.

David picked up the phone and called Polly.
