Manhattan Reborn 1978

new day~

new York.

The Queen.

A large expanse of white morning fog shrouded the streets, making the morning light appear much more "vivid" ~

Old Malkin's house.

Polly packed her things in the room, walked downstairs on high heels, kissed her father, mother and children, briefly said a few words to them Liao Ke, then hurriedly drank a glass of juice and walked out of the house. .

street.

Polly walked to the parked car and glanced at the house opposite - that was her sister Manqi's home.

She stood there hesitating for a few seconds, sighed slightly, walked across the street, and knocked on Manqi's door.

"Eh? Polly?!"

"Why didn't you go to work?" Manqi, wearing an apron and holding a spatula in her hand, let Polly into the house in confusion.

Polly walked into the restaurant silently, walked around, stared at her sister Manqi and asked: "Where is your husband Jon?"

"Um...he's still sleeping, what's wrong?"

Manqi glanced at the children sitting at the dining table, holding cutlery in their hands, with confusion and curiosity in their eyes, and walked into the kitchen.

"Come here...do you have anything to do with Jon?"

"...No~ I just came over to see you!"

Of course Manqi would not believe Polly's "lie". She smiled and turned off the fire, placed two fried eggs in front of the children, pulled Polly into the living room, and asked in a low voice seriously.

"What's the matter? Tell me~"

Polly raised her hand to help her sister smooth the broken hair around her ears, smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine~"

"..real?"

"real!"

Manqi's eyes showed more doubts and curiosity, but she did not continue to ask.

"Sister, I... am leaving~"

"Have you had your breakfast?"

"No~ I'm going to eat at the company!"

"BYE!"

"..."

. . .

Manqi stood at the door of her house, watching the car driven by Polly slowly disappear at the corner of the street, and then closed the door with her lips pursed.

She understands this sister’s character very well~

Polly would never come over early in the morning for no reason, just to. .Just take a look ~

Manqi sat at the dining table and coaxed the children to finish their breakfast. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to wait. .

Wait till tomorrow, if Polly hasn't said it yet. .Those words that she may feel unable to speak, she will get to the bottom of it!

----

Manhattan.

42nd Street, above Wildfire Bar.

David hugged Susan and kissed her, took the briefcase from Cui Yingying, and said with a smile: "Look at the dark circles under your eyes..."

"I can't hang out with that little bastard Laura anymore... Do you understand?"

"Oops~ Got it!"

"Go to work quickly~"

Susan pretended to be impatient and covered her ears, winked at Cui Yingying and said with a smile: "We definitely won't...right?"

"Hehe~"

David and Cui Yingying looked at each other and smiled helplessly~

Bedroom direction.

Lilith ran out in high heels and put on her coat while smiling at the three of them.

"I'm OK~"

"...Hahahaha~"

The three of them looked at the pair of dark circles on Lilith's face and couldn't help laughing~

. . .

on the way.

David took Lilith's little hand and asked, "What time did you come back last night? Why don't I know?"

"Hehe~"

"This time, we understand why Susan said you...snored very loudly~"

"what?"

"Did I snore last night?"

"Yes~"

Lilith's eyes widened with an exaggerated expression, and she whispered: "Laura and I covered our heads with pillows last night, so we couldn't hear your snoring."

"Not to mention Susan has to put up with you every night..."

"Forehead.."

David scratched his head with a confused look on his face and muttered in confusion: "That shouldn't be the case~ I don't snore when I sleep..."

"Hahahaha~"

Seeing David's "naiveness", Lilith couldn't help but put her arms around his neck, kissed him, and said with a smile: "I have a way to cure your snoring."

"Do you want to try?"

"Oh? In what way?"

"That's it...I won't tell you!"

"..cut~"

David curled his lips in disgust, stretched out his arms to pull Lilith into his arms, pointed at her forehead with his hand.

“You’ve also learned bad things from Laura!~”

"I don't have it~"

"You have!"

"I don't!"

"Hehe~"

"Um... no... my... lipstick!"

"Uh-huh!"

In the front driver's seat, Black Mike, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror a few times and couldn't help but smile. .

Lilith. .Ha~?

----

On the east side of New York, in the Gold Coast villa area in northern Long Island.

The car driven by Morgan Sr., Seamus and Julie slowly drove into a manor villa that occupied an extremely large area.

ten minutes later.

The three of them followed the housekeeper and walked into a conference living room on the second floor.

In the large living room, there were two distinct groups of people sitting. .

Thomas M. Mellon, who came earlier than them, stood up, shook hands with the three of them, and whispered a few words.

Seamus, who was walking in front of the three of them, walked past Thomas and found a seat to sit down. He looked at the participants who had specially come from the island country not far away, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. .

After Thomas whispered, Old Morgan looked in the direction of the visitors from the island country, but did not show any emotion on his face. .

Julie glanced at Bloomer's father, Walton, who came over from California this morning, and nodded to him with a smile.

. . .

About 10 minutes later again.

At the entrance of the living room, Livlin's father, Old Cherov, followed the housekeeper and walked into the living room.

Everyone's eyes turned to him. .

Old Morgan tilted his head and glanced at David Rockefeller, the host of today's meeting, stood up and extended a hand of "friendship" to old Cherov~

Old Cherov walked steadily, exuding strong confidence, and walked up to Old Morgan. He smiled and said, "Sorry~ There was a little accident, I'm late!"

"Hehe~"

“Come sit with us!”

"Ok!"

Old Cherov sat next to Julie, his eyes quickly scanning the faces of everyone present, pausing from time to time and sending out a kind smile.

Julie crossed her legs, took out a notebook and pen from her pocket, handed them to old Cherov, and whispered.

"Here~ This is for you...!"

"...Thank you~ Hahaha~" Old Cherov was stunned for two seconds, then laughed and took the notebook~

But his eyes swept over the visitors from the island country and whispered.

"The opportunity to see them at a gathering like this... isn't too much, right?"

Julie smiled gloatingly: "After a husband and wife have been together for a long time, conflicts will continue to break out over daily trivial matters~"

"Not to mention...it's them!"

Old Cherov tilted his head and looked at Julie with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You..."

"I...became more humorous, right?"

"...Haha~" Old Cherov waved his notebook gently and smiled~

"Hahaha~" Julie, who looked at him, also laughed heartily. .

Everyone in the living room who was whispering turned their eyes over~

David Rockefeller looked down at his watch, stood up and smiled at everyone.

"ok~"

"Welcome everyone today..."

"I won't talk nonsense and get straight to the point..."

. . .

Old Cherov held a pen in his hand and opened his notebook. While listening to Old David's story, he kept recording the key points of the meeting~

Old Cherov did not attend many private gatherings of this size today. .

Because he is not what people say he is. .Old money!

However, the reason why he is sitting here today is not due to the relationship between his daughter Livlin and Leslie Rockefeller. .

But old Cherov holds something that many people here don't have. .Huge cash flow ~

Crisis is coming, cash is king!

No matter who doesn’t have cash or high-quality assets with high liquidity and strong risk resistance, they can only watch others eat meat and drink soup themselves. .

In fact, you may not even be able to drink the soup!

So, old Cherov is here~

----

Manhattan.

Wall Street, Stanley [-]th Floor.

David sat in his office and welcomed his first visitor of the day.

Old friend, Andrew Devereign (Andy)!

. . .

Secretary Maggie and Toby Olga brought in a pot of coffee and a large plate of cut fresh fruit, and then went out with a smile.

David flipped through the financial statements brought by Andy, tilted his head and thought about it, frowned and asked, "I still won't read these..."

"Tell me about it!"

"it is good!"

Andy smiled and took the small piece of watermelon handed by David and said: "You also know...Polly, she is a workaholic!"

"Under her management, da company has gone through the most chaotic early days of its establishment very smoothly~"

"Da cheap stores, nightclubs, beverage factories, trading companies, advertising companies, transportation companies, service training companies, film and television companies, Shirley clothing studios, etc. are all on the right track~"

"The club and publishing company that Ludi is responsible for are about to enter normal operation under Polly's constant supervision."

"But after the construction company's incident was exposed, the entire company's capital chain system..."

David picked up two slices of apple and threw them into his mouth, leaning back: "I probably understand~"

"Is there a big funding gap? How much money is needed?"

"...200 million yuan!"

"so much?"

Andy put down the watermelon rind in his hand, picked up another piece of peach, and said: "Of all the companies, only advertising companies, nightclubs, trading companies, and beverage factories make money..."

"Other companies can only rely on the company's continuous capital investment to develop healthily."

"Forehead.."

David pouted and nodded: "Then, can these 200 million... solve the problem?"

"of course can!"

Andy smiled very confidently: "This money is mainly used to give holiday + New Year bonuses to employees."

"After the New Year, nightclubs, beverage factories and trading companies will bring a lot of income to the company~"

"By then, the company's capital chain will also enter a virtuous cycle, and there will be no more..."

"Hi~ok!"

David reached out and picked up the phone: "Please withdraw this money from my personal account~"

"I'll ask Erwin, the company's treasurer, to transfer the money."

"Hello~ Erwin?"

"Please come to my office!"

"Well...I'll wait for you!"

. . .

Andy watched David put down the phone, pursed his lips and pondered for a few seconds: "I'm coming over today... Polly doesn't know yet~"

"you.."

"I see!"

David winked at Andy and said with a smile: "She is in trouble, can you help me?"

"My woman, if I don't feel sorry for you, who will?"

"Hehe~"

Andy smiled and slowly put away the financial statements on the table, changed the topic, and asked.

"Your and Lilith's engagement ceremony..."

"Oh~ yes, yes, yes!"

When David was reminded by Andy, he immediately slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Sorry! Sorry~"

"Pine sent the invitation letter yesterday...but I forgot about it!"

David took out a stack of invitations from the drawer and handed them to Andy: "This is an invitation for you~ Please take it back for me~"

After Andy took it, he put it in his briefcase and said with a smile: "It seems that Sally and I want to invite you to our house for dinner on Christmas or New Year. Are you going to change the plan?"

"Oh?"

David's eyes sparkled with gossip and he smiled: "No need to change it!"

"Let's... be in advance, okay?"

"We got engaged on the 22nd, and today is only the 18th..."

"I haven't made any plans for these nights!"

Andy suppressed a smile and raised his eyebrows: "Okay~ I'll go back and discuss it with Sally later."

"How about tomorrow night?"

"can!"

"Should I call Old Rhett and Heywood together again?"

"ok~"

"Hahaha~"

. . .

Andy, let’s go~

Erwin Barnetta, the company's financial director, sat across from David and placed several bank private account statements on the table.

"This is the account information and balance you asked me to check. Can you take a look?"

"it is good!"

David looked through his personal bank account information, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt. .Surprise~

He pointed to these in his hand. .Asked Erwin: "I...how do I have so much money?"

Erwin smiled and pointed to the last page: "Mr. Pine helped you open personal accounts at Chase Bank, Morgan Bank, Mellon Bank, Citibank, Wells Fargo and Bank of America."

"In the past week or so, these accounts have received multiple amounts of money one after another."

"I have sorted out their notes and put them on the last page~"

"..."

David looked at the note list in his hand and his smile turned bitter.

Panaris and Elder, a total of 100 million yuan; Cheryl and Grace, a total of 100 million yuan; Giles and Pine, 100 million; Leslie and Livlyn, 100 million. .

These David's bad friends and Lilith's brothers and sisters all gave generous gifts. .

It was very low-key and only left a bank transfer note. .Gift money!

"Hi~"

David took a deep breath and continued to look down~

谢默思舅舅200万；老切罗夫200万；老沃顿200万；老戴维200万；老托马斯·m·梅隆200万。。

Also, Gerald, Carnes and Little Peter, 50 each. .

What little Peter transferred was not rice dollars, but 50 pounds. .

. . .

David covered his forehead with his hands, leaned back in his chair, and sighed: "Just say it~"

"Total... how much is it?"

Seeing David's "depressed" look, Erwin felt a little puzzled and smiled in his heart: "If you add the 200 million pounds transferred from London this morning, and then deduct the 200 pounds that were just taken away from Andy, Ten thousand yuan~”

"The current available balance in your personal account is: 29518647 meters."

"2950 million...?"

David took a few deep breaths and asked, "What's the note on the money in London?"

"Uh... program sponsorship fee!"

"fxxx!"

"That bastard old man... wants to trick me again!"

"..."

"Sorry, man~"

"I...have a headache. Can you let me be alone for a while?"

"Ok!"

. . .

Erwin, let’s go~

David got up and walked to the window, opened it, and let the cold wind blow on his already hot forehead. .

The money he earned after months of hard work was not as much as the gift he received for his engagement with Lilith. .

Is this a good thing?still. .

No wonder, those female celebrities all want to marry into rich families. .

No wonder, in his previous life, he always heard someone shouting all day long: Marry Bai Fumei and reach the pinnacle of life. .

What the hell. .

Do you still need to keep working hard?

"Hehe~"

He stood by the window, smiled bitterly and shook his head. .

It’s no use thinking too much!

Wisler's transfer note + the phone call last night forced him to move on. .Running wildly~

stop?

possible. .Will he die?

. . .

David stood by the window like this, thinking wildly for a while, before slowly calming down the weird and complicated emotions in his heart, and allowing his reason to take over the high ground again. .

Reason and reason. .

Emm. .

David felt like he had found what he wanted to talk about in the next episode. .Best material!

----

District of Columbia.

Langley, inside CIA headquarters.

Ezra Cremo, head of the New York branch, followed the crowd out of the conference room with a folder in his hand~

While chatting with his colleagues, he observed Deputy Director Heidi Corlendon, who was presiding over the meeting today. .

When there was no one around Director Corendon and he was about to leave, Ezra Claymore said sorry to the people around him and took long steps to catch up.

"Chief Correnden!"

"Oh~Ezra!?"

"What's with you?"

"Yes!"

"I...have something I want to report to you..."

Deputy Director Haidu Corendon, who had a Mediterranean hairstyle and was over fifty years old, looked down at his watch and thought for a while.

"Let's go~ Let's go outside and have a cigarette?"

"Okay!" Ezra Cremo nodded with a smile.

. . .

Outside the office building.

The two found a place where the wind caught the wind and stopped.

Ezra Claymore took out the cigarette he had prepared, lit it for Director Corendon, and smiled.

"I know you are very busy~"

"So, I'll cut this short...?"

"Yeah!" Chief Corendon exhaled a cloud of smoke and looked like he was listening.

Ezra Cremo ignored the few strands of hair flying in the wind on his head, pondered for a moment, and said seriously.

"I have a way to solve... the problem of financial constraints in some bureaus!"

"Oh?"

"What do you want to do?"

"invest!"

"..Haha~"

Director Corenden smiled unexpectedly and turned to look around: "You know it, right~"

"We are already close to San Francisco and Los Angeles..."

"I know~"

"Then what you're talking about is...?"

"Wall Street!"

"..."

Director Corenden slowly put away his smile, a few undetectable lights flashed in his eyes, and whispered.

"Everyone knows Wall Street is a great place to make money!"

"But.."

"I have friends who can help us!"

"Who?"

"...Sorry~ I can't say!"

"That's it..."

Director Corenden exhaled another puff of smoke, thought about it very calmly, and asked, "How much do you want?"

“How much return can we get?”

Ezra Cremo raised his index finger and said in a low voice: "Not a cent!"

“100% return!”

"You are joking?"

"No~I'm serious!"

Director Corenden held a cigarette in his hand, stared into Ezra Claymore's eyes for a while, and shook his head slowly.

"time?"

"The longest is one year, the shortest is...three months!"

“The shorter the time, the greater the risk!”

"Um.."

"What do you need me to do?"

Ezra Cremo smiled slightly and threw away the cigarette butt: "A few normal personnel transfer orders in the bureau + some conveniences for me to mobilize the bureau's manpower and information resources in New York~"

"that's it?"

"Yes!"

"Hush~huh~"

Director Corenden took a puff of his cigarette, dropped the butt, and walked slowly towards the office building.

"Claymo, I hope you won't let me back the goods!"

"must!"

. . .

Ezra Cremo, standing there, watching Director Heidi Corenden leave, also let out a sigh of relief~

He and Mr. Deputy Director are both betting!

Bet on yourself a future~

It also adds a choice that now seems dispensable to Heidi Corlendon~

Suppose, Ezra Claymore loses the bet. .

For Director Corenden, it was nothing more than throwing Claymore out to take the blame, and there would be no greater loss. .

But what if the bet wins?

That is. .Win-win!

----

Manhattan.

42nd Street, in front of Wildfire Bar.

It was already lunch time, so David canceled some of the work that had been arranged for the day and decided to rush back on the spur of the moment. .

in the bar.

Harvey, the head of Da Film and Television Company, is leading the TV series filming crew and is busy nervously ~

Tangtang, who plays the role of producer in the crew, saw David walking in from outside, smiled and hurried forward to greet him.

"Hi~"

"I have good news for you~"

David raised his eyebrows with a smile and asked her teasingly: "What's wrong?"

"Could it be that...you have figured it out and want to move in with me?"

"..." Tangtang suppressed a smile and raised her middle finger to David with a pretended look of disdain.

"Hahaha~"

David put his arm around Tangtang's shoulders, found a table in an unoccupied corner, sat down, and asked, "Tell me~ What's the good news?"

"I got your share of the investment back!"

"Oh?"

"Is it the share of the Little Red Riding Hood movie?"

"That's right!"

Tangtang happily flexed her fingers to David and said, "After all the box office share, your total share is: 34623 yuan."

"In addition, the sales share after the video copyright is sold..."

"The reward this movie gives you has exceeded 200%!"

"Wow~"

David reached out and grabbed Tangtang's hand, pressed down the rest of the fingers, leaving only the middle finger, and smiled.

"Then shall we...celebrate?"

"fxxxyou! Asshole!" Tangtang laughed and broke away from David's hand, and counterattacked his "tease" with a strong middle finger. .

"Hahahaha~"
