Manhattan Reborn 1978

Chapter 879

new York.

Afternoon~

In a restaurant near Madison Avenue on the east side of Central Park in Manhattan.

Mag Ludwig, who had just returned from Washington, stood at the door of the restaurant and quickly found Mr. Odis Parker in formal clothes.

He walked to the dining table, asked the waiter for a lunch, sat down and looked at Mr. Parker, who looked calm, and said.

"Ezra Cremo and I went to Langley this morning and met Abbott Gall."

"What did he say?" Mr. Parker asked, picking up the coffee cup.

There was a sneer on Ma Ge's lips: "I have said everything that needs to be said..."

"Ok!"

"I also made an appointment with Devonius, he should be here soon."

"Oh?"

"He...you...?" Mag asked after thinking for a moment with some uncertainty.

"Are you going to ask his opinion?"

"Yes." Mr. Parker said frankly.

"When I left New York for London, I had no friends and no one wanted to support me..."

"Until I met Devoncius by chance, and it was he who made me see another side of the world!"

Mr. Parker saw the puzzled expression on Mag's face, smiled slightly, and whispered.

"His external performance is all a disguise for self-protection."

"Publicly stating that he likes men was also a helpless move that made him decide to get out of that quagmire."

"what?"

"Doesn't he still have a wife and children?"

"He doesn't even want his family anymore?" Mag asked with surprise in his eyes.

"child.."

Mr. Parker shook his head with a weird smile and said, "He has no ability to have children at all!"

"Do you think he will still care about that child?"

"Uh..." Mag was speechless.

"Haha~" Mr. Parker put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked at the door of the restaurant with a smile on his lips and said in a very low voice.

"He doesn't like hearing about family and children the most."

"Don't forget it!"

"Ah."

Mag had already anticipated that the "rightful owner" was coming from behind, so he responded, stood up and looked at Mr. Devenceus von Spencer, and said hello with a "sunny" smile.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen."

Devenceus von Spencer, who had a mustache and looked very "refined" as a whole, smiled at Mr. Mag and Parker.

The three of them briefly exchanged greetings and sat down~

Mr. Parker motioned to the waiter to wait a moment before coming over, told Devincius about Director Abbott Garr, and asked Mager to make some additions.

Devensius' eyes moved around the two people's faces, he smiled and sat back in the chair, crossed his legs, and asked slowly.

"I haven't even met your boss yet and I'm already starting work?"

"Yes!" Mr. Parker replied matter-of-factly without any nonsense.

"..." Mag turned his head to the side in silence, picked up the napkin and studied why it was so white and clean.

Devoncius seemed to think it was interesting and said.

"I don't know much about Mr. Abbott Gall."

"However, I know that the International Funds Settlement System (SWIFT) managed by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication can help cross-border transfers between banks in various countries achieve instant settlement."

“The International Fund Clearing System (SWIFT) is backed by the Bank for International Settlements.”

"It is an international financial institution cooperating with central banks of various countries. Its main role is to assist the international monetary and financial institutions within the United Nations system in currency conversion and withdrawal."

"It is free for each member state to deposit gold reserves at the Bank for International Settlements, and they can also use these gold reserves as collateral to obtain a spot loan of 80% of the gold value from the Bank for International Settlements."

“At the same time, the Bank for International Settlements also handles gold purchase and sale business on behalf of central banks of various countries and is responsible for confidentiality.”

"That's why it's very popular among central banks in member countries."

"Nothing~" Mr. Devensius changed the subject and looked at Mr. Parker.

"After World War II, the essence of the establishment of the Bank for International Settlements was that the United States would use this institution as a means to control Germany's finances and put the issue of European debtor countries' repayment of U.S. debts under its own supervision."

"In 1944, according to the resolution of the Bretton Woods Conference, the mission of the Bank for International Settlements had been completed and should be disbanded. However, the United States still insisted on retaining it as a subsidiary institution of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank."

“So since the 50s, the Bank for International Settlements has successively become the financial business agent of international institutions such as the European Economic Cooperation Organization, the European Payment Union, the European Coal and Steel Pool, the Gold Pool, and the European Monetary Cooperation Fund, and is responsible for a large number of international settlement businesses. ”

“And, its business also includes accepting gold or currency deposits from the central banks of member countries, buying and selling gold and currencies, buying and selling securities available for listing, lending or depositing money to the central banks of member countries, and also conducting similar transactions with commercial banks and international institutions. business, but shall not provide loans to the government or open current accounts in its name, etc.”

"..." When Mag heard Devoncius talking endlessly about these "nonsense nonsense" to Mr. Parker, he slowly began to have some guesses in his mind.

He waved to the waiter standing far away and ordered one of the chef's best set meals and a bottle of champagne for Devoncius.

Devoncius didn't react at all, just looked at Mr. Parker quietly.

Seeing the two of them "looking at each other affectionately" like a pair of sculptures, Mag couldn't help coughing twice and asked Devensius.

"The boss will be back the day after tomorrow, and we want to give him a solution when we meet with him."

"Do you... have any good suggestions?"

"Yes~"

Devensius put his right hand on the table, tapped his index finger on the table, turned to look at Mag and said with a smile.

"If you want Mr. Abbotgal to realize his mistake and give up these stupid ideas, it's actually very simple~"

"Although, I don't know his personality or the way he handles things."

"But I am sure that he will not be able to accept the continuous bombardment of all kinds of bad news within 24 hours!"

"For example, you find his competitor and openly and clearly express your support for him!"

"For example, you used the resources and conveniences at your disposal to cut off his financial path in Manila, Philippines."

"For example, you find someone who knows him well, use various coercion and inducement methods to bribe him/her, and inform Mr. Garr about this."

"For another example, you can directly take advantage of the curiosity of the media and quietly spread some unfavorable news about Mr. Gal, putting him in a situation where he has no time to take care of himself."

"..." Mag looked at Mr. Devence's smiling face, made a disappointed expression with high and low eyes, shrugged and said nothing.
