Manhattan Reborn 1978

Island country.

The foothills of Mount Fuji are about 100 kilometers west of the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Fire rock hot spring hotel in the northwest suburb of Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture.

Kihara Nobunari, who was pulled by Iwasaki Naokami for a long chat last night, overslept for some reason. .

When he ate breakfast in a hurry and rushed to the door of David's room, he found that Peter Jr., Bill Guseland, Naokami Iwasaki and "Sleep God" Karnes were all there. .

In the room right now~

David, who just stood up and was about to walk into the bedroom, saw Kihara Nobunari standing outside the door a little at a loss, smiling and waving to him.

"Come on in and help me do something."

"Okay!" Kihara Nobunari walked into the living room of the room, bowed slightly to Peter and Iwasaki, and followed David into the bedroom.

After David walked into the bedroom, he found the small suitcase he had brought with him, took out a few stacks of rice-yuan cash and handed it to Kihara Nobunari, giving instructions.

"At four o'clock this afternoon, we are going to Xiangjiang."

"I just asked Iwasaki Naokami to help me urgently customize some gold handicrafts to give away when I go to Xiangjiang~"

"But he doesn't want to accept the money, so I can only let you stay and transfer the money to him."

"Okay, I understand." Kihara Nobunari lowered his head to check the cash in his hand and asked quickly.

"Then I'll leave for Tokyo now and buy some of the latest electronic watches and cameras to take with you, okay?"

"Okay~"

"There's something else I need you to help me with."

David put one hand in his pocket, looked at Kihara Nobunari who was slowly "enlightened", and smiled.

"Have you met Mag Ludwig's friend Jeffrey Rand?"

"I've seen it."

"He learned from Mag that I came to Tokyo and wanted to invite me to have dinner and chat."

"But.."

"While we were taking a break last night, the London gold market rose by about 4% after a brief price adjustment in recent days."

"The Zurich gold market has also risen by about 3.8%, and gold spot trading volume has also exceeded the highest value in the past decade."

"Little Peter, who came to Tokyo from London during this period, did not expect that the gold price would complete the adjustment and continue to rise so quickly, and the trading volume would suddenly increase sharply."

"So, we are going to rush to Xiangjiang, Asia's largest gold trading market, tonight to examine the market's reaction to the sharp rise in gold prices again."

"In a few days, after we have finalized our next plan in Hong Kong, I will return to Tokyo to have dinner with Jeffrey Rand."

"OK!" Kihara Nobunari put the cash into his pocket, took a half step back and bowed slightly to David, just about to leave to do something. .

David smiled and raised his hand to stop him, thought for a moment, and said, "If Marat can successfully establish more trade links with Nakhodka Commercial Port..."

"You and Yuri will start to be responsible for the transactions of coal, wood, non-ferrous metals and rare metals."

"Originally, I wanted Marubeni Corporation, controlled by the Yasuda Consortium, to be your trading partner."

"But now, we have a better choice, Mitsubishi General Trading Company!"

"You... got your passport in New York, or do you have island citizenship?"

"Yes." Kihara Nobunari couldn't help but his heart beat a few beats faster, and he replied softly with a scorching gaze.

"Then do you want to become a U.S. citizen and get a green card?"

"miss you!"

"ok~I understand."

"When I return to New York this time, I will ask Attorney George to help you prepare the application materials you need to submit."

"Thank you... boss!"

"I won't let you down!"

"Haha~" David felt a little funny that he had learned to use this little trick to win people's hearts, and shook his head slightly.

"I heard that you need to give yourself an English name on your immigration application materials..."

"Like Mike, Bill, David, Billy, John, etc., they are all ruined in the United States..."

"You must give yourself a name that is easy to remember and meaningful!"

"Okay, boss!"

Kihara Nobunari felt that "happiness" came a little too suddenly, and he replied feeling light all over.

. . .

After seeing off Kihara Nobunari, David returned to the living room and found that Peter Jr., Naokami Iwasaki, and Bill Guseland were all gone.

Only "Sleep God" Karnes was left lying on the sofa, covering his head with a coat and sleeping soundly. .

Seeing his appearance, David sneered and walked softly to the window, closed the open window again, and looked at the scenery outside the window quietly, feeling a little tired. .

Otis Parker!

"Psychosis" is really difficult to deal with!

This reminds David of some comments Mr. Tianniu made when he left Tokyo~

"Otis Parker is an extremely smart, extremely cautious, extremely narcissistic, and extremely difficult to control psychopath."

"Most of the time, he cares more about his own feelings, and will make some incomprehensible actions and decisions for this reason."

"So even though he was in the European intelligence community, which was known as the frontier of the Cold War, he gained recognition from countless people in just a few years."

"But those people all recognized his ability to do things, not his frequent illness... Parker!"

Emm. .

David put his hands on the window sill, recalling Mr. Tianniu's disgusted expression after saying these words, and laughed silently.

. . .

At noon. .

David and others said goodbye to Iwasaki Naokami and left in a car.

Brotney Mejia, whose presence has been very low these days, was specially called by David to ride in the same car with him.

on the way.

The two sat in the back row and communicated in Italian for a moment in a low voice.

David learned from Mecia some important events that have happened in the "outside world" in recent days, as well as the news from the former CIA field intelligence personnel she sent to various countries.

Among these intelligence messages, there are four that attracted David's special attention~

1. The British Prime Minister election has entered the final stage, many London media said~

Margaret Hilda Thatcher, who successfully became the leader of the Conservative Party in 75, has been recognized by the majority of MPs and the Queen, and the overall outcome of the election of prime minister has been decided. .

Mrs. Thatcher will be the first female Prime Minister in British history!

2. Iran’s former King Pahlavi II was strictly prohibited from entering the country by many European countries after he was forced to flee Iran.

In particular, a staff member of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs sneered after seeing his entry application and threw it into the trash can. .

Therefore, the once "famous" Shah of Iran could only temporarily change his plan to cross the Atlantic by boat and prepare to seek help from the US government. .

And according to the news received by Mexia, the former king's recent physical condition does not seem to be good. .
