Manhattan Reborn 1978

In front of the Wildfire Bar, next to the cars on the street.

David was chatting with Auston.

"What!? How come I don't know about this?"

"As far as I know, when this incident started, Ludi just informed a few gang bosses who signed the Bonini Agreement and asked them to come to a party to have fun."

"Then it spread like wildfire, and all the gangs knew about it, so they all wanted to come to the opening party tomorrow night!"

David still didn’t understand: “We are just opening a nightclub, so we don’t expect everyone to come to the party, right?”

Auston was really helpless.

He looked at David, the boss of Da Group: "You took the lead in creating the Bonini Agreement, right?"

amount.

David nodded stiffly.

"You know the franchise area in the Bonini Agreement, right?"

"Of course!"

"Then do you know that only those who sign this agreement can enter the area to operate?"

"Uh... I know!"

"Then don't you understand the purpose of these people attending the party?"

David suddenly realized: "Are they coming to the party to share the cake?!!!"

"Of course! This is a huge cake! In this area, only street informants as auxiliary police will often appear, and the police will not wander around in the future. Do you think this area is very tempting?"

"But the Bonini Agreement has been signed. What do these small gangs want to talk about? Cooperation?"

"Of course it's cooperation! They are small gangs, some of which only have a dozen people. How can they compete with the big guys who sign autographs?"

"When we talk about cooperation, the boss eats meat and they drink soup, which can also make them earn a lot of money."

David was silent. He felt that this matter must be related to the inexplicable rapid increase in points in the past few days.

It seems that the long-term follow-up effects of the Bonini Agreement have just begun!

Auston shook the beer bottle: "I heard some interesting news this morning. I will definitely be interested."

"What is it? Tell me!"

"There was a businessman who negotiated a deal with the autograph bosses."

"He owns some real estate in the franchise area. He uses these as bargaining chips to ask the big guys for a few monopoly businesses in the area. What do you think they are?"

So where did David go?

"You bastard, hurry up and say it."

"Haha, okay! He wants to monopolize the beer, umbrella and laundry businesses!"

"Ohshxx! This guy is a genius!" David sighed.

Auston also lamented: "Yes, this guy owns a brewery and runs some laundries. I don't know how he came up with the umbrella business."

"Isn't that thing prepared for your police street cleaning operation?" David sneered.

Auston spread his hands: "With the Bonini Agreement, Lynch's street cleaning operation has become dispensable. So he will also attend the opening party tomorrow night."

"By the way, who is the Karl you just mentioned? Someone from Lynch?"

"Yeah, Carl Weisbrady, he is the director of the downtown enforcement project group appointed by Lynch, that is, the person in charge of the implementation of Operation Street Cleanup, and Hardman's collaborator. I went to see him in the afternoon because Ming I had a chat with him at the party that night.”

"You're not going to laugh at Karl, he's about to lose his job, are you?" David teased in a wicked way.

"Shit! We are talking about how to deal with those street girls who cannot enter the concession area."

David stopped laughing.

These women, call them pitiful, they are really pitiful. Almost all women on the street have a family that they hate and hate.

There is also the childhood that scares and scares them and they always want to forget.

To say they are hateful, they really don't live up to expectations.

Maybe it’s because it’s faster to make money on the streets?The reason why you can’t live without stimulant drugs?

Why don't you know how to survive if you leave here?

Many women had left Manhattan and later returned.

They were talking to themselves, they were used to it and couldn't go back. .

In this way, they are here, year after year, living in confusion.

Until one day, most of them left this world due to disease, medicine, murder, etc.

A small number of people, due to despair, loneliness, excessive mental stress, and excessive drug use, have done something wrong on their own.

In some undiscovered corner, in some dirty and shabby little hotel room.

This is how they left this world.

David knew the final fate of these women, but he could not save them all.

These women may not want David to appear and save them.

David shook his head.

Taking a deep breath, he changed the subject.

"Auston, help me check someone out."

"Tell me, who is it?"

"I don't know his name, but he seems to be Frank. He must be in his 30s, blond, and his mother lives in New York. He was sentenced to prison for check fraud a few years ago. I don't know if he has come out. without."

Auston thought for a moment and asked with some uncertainty: "Are you talking about Frank Abagnale?"

"Yes, it should be the name!"

"Um...you want to find this guy?" Auston was a little surprised.

"Yes what's the matter?"

"He lives in New York, over in Queens. Man, he's a celebrity, a criminal genius who gives the FBI a headache!"

David became interested: "How do you know him?"

"His news appeared frequently in the past few years. Wherever I go, there is news about him on TV and in newspapers."

"What is this Frank Abagnale in the news for?"

Auston looked at young David and understood.

"You were in kindergarten, David, while Abagnale was waving checks all over America."

"At that time, he was a check fraudster wanted by the FBI across the United States. Later, after he was caught, he became the FBI's most famous check fraud agent. What the hell!"

David was delighted, yes, it was Frank!

"I said he was in the news because he was released from prison in 1972. The check anti-counterfeiting and identification technology he invented was used by most banks in the United States. He went from a criminal to a detective to a well-known He was not yet 30 when he became a millionaire. What the hell!"

Auston repeated: Damn it!

Well, this Frank Abagnale experience does make people cry God.

"Do you know where he lives or works?"

"I only know where he lives, and he doesn't always live there. He owns many properties. It seems that he also bought a house in Miami because the winter in New York is too cold and he doesn't like it... Damn rich people, Damn it Frank!”

Why does this buddy Alston have so much resentment towards Frank?

Is this jealousy?

He patted Auston on the shoulder.

Next to them, Mike and Lavis were chatting with Ben.

Bursts of laughter came.

David looked at Ben and thought about adding the top.

He asked Auston what to do about this matter.

How did Auston know these things, but he introduced a man to David, Carl Weisbrady!

"This guy Carl was originally the mayor's assistant in the city hall. He was later promoted and became the director."

"If you want to build a house, you must need approval from the city hall. Let Carl help. You can tell Lynch again and make sure that all the procedures can be completed within a week."

David nodded: "Thanks, Auston!"
