Manhattan Reborn 1978

The father and son chatted for a while and then took a rest. Old David agreed to go back and contact Polly, and first put thirty thousand dollars into his account to fund the initial start-up of the security company.

When David's movie money arrives, go directly to Polly's.

The next morning, old David left, and Ludy found someone to take him back.

In fact, it only takes more than 40 minutes to drive home from Manhattan, but it’s just inconvenient for David to drive.

Every time he comes, he follows the delivery truck, or asks someone from the factory to drive him there.

David waited for Black Mike to return in the apartment. He found all the phone numbers of his comrades he could contact last night and called them one by one.

The results were mixed, the bad news being that four people died, committing suicide.

Some left home and were never heard from again.

The good news is that nine people have agreed to come to New York, including Black Mike's lieutenant Stick Don Lawrence.

He is an officer that Black Mike highly respects. On the battlefield, he can understand every soldier under his command and work hard to help them survive that war.

Black Mike is one of them.

David welcomes this!The more such capable people the better.

He contacted Polly and confirmed the formation of the company.

She said she would start filing the declaration today and had already contacted reliable accountants and lawyers. It seemed that the old Malkin family's network had begun to take action.

So Black Mike was asked to rest first, and he went to the library to continue searching for information.

I went to a nearby store to buy some notebooks and manuscript paper, and then came to the library again.

This time, he did not look through old newspapers first, but went to the modern and contemporary economic books section.

There are some books that impress me, take them out and read the introduction.

I haven’t read some of them, so I’ll write them down so I can read them more when I have time.

Then he went to the area of ​​historical county records to find some basic information about states and counties in this world. After all, he wanted to be a lobbyist.

The other party doesn't know any information about some places and it's shameful.

After finding the ones for New York and Pennsylvania, sit down and look through them carefully.

Take out a small notebook and write down what you find useful.

When he felt hungry, he looked at his watch and saw that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Pack up the information, mark it, take the notebook and go to Marseille to fill your stomach.

Then he came back and continued. He didn't come out until the library was closed in the evening, with the notebook in his hand filled with information.

It’s been a productive day, back to the apartment.

Take the manuscript paper and extract some information from your notes that will be used when meeting Mayor Lynch.

Seeing that no one was in the apartment, Black Mike should go to the bar, so he ate something by himself and went to bed.

Mental work is also tiring!

After a few days, several of David's notebooks were almost full.

What pleased David the most was that he found some news and two familiar people.

September 1974, "Washington Post."

News from this newspaper: Hurricane Carmen intensified again on September 9. The storm continued to accelerate northward and entered the Gulf Coast of the United States, causing a devastating blow to the region.

Almost everything it went was razed to the ground, and small towns in other areas also suffered varying degrees of damage. The shrimp fishing industry in Rabat Bay became the biggest victim of Hurricane Carmen.

The fishing port was completely in ruins, and fishing boats were blown onto the road and raced against cars.

Our reporter learned from local officials that only one ship that did not disembark survived, Forrest Gump's Jenny.

In 1975, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company became the largest shrimp fishing company in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.The company owns 22 shrimp fishing boats with an annual catch volume. .Barabara. .

In 1977, Bubba Forrest Shrimp Company became the largest shrimp fishing company in the southeastern states of the United States. The company owned 72 shrimp boats, 34 fishing boats, and 21 crab boats.

Company founder Forrest Gunn became a multi-millionaire, the lucky man who was the captain of one of the few remaining ships in the entire southern Gulf of Mexico after Hurricane Carmen passed through three years ago. Now the company's general manager Dan Taylor is The first mate of that ship.

Manager Dan Taylor was interviewed by this newspaper. . . .Barabara. . . .

After seeing the news about Forrest Gump, David almost spilled the Coke on the ceiling with his hand.

He really found a familiar person.

I read the information about Forrest Gump several times.

I also looked up the glorious deeds of Forrest Gump in the past to pay my respects. He appeared in almost several historical events in the past 20 years.

This Forrest Gump is definitely the one with the aura of the protagonist in the novels I read before.

He should be a rich man now!

That Lieutenant Dan Taylor's family has been serving the country for generations, but he met Forrest Gump and survived, lost his legs, and is now a multi-millionaire.

If you don’t look to them for investment, who should you look to?

Where are they now?

It seems like someone needs to investigate.

After several days of retreat in the library, David woke up this morning and saw the note left by Black Mike in the apartment.

Ask David to find him in the small office building he has booked after seeing it.

So he came to the small building at 40th Street and No. 12th Avenue, which was already rented by Ludy.

The annual rent is 200 dollars, and the rental contract is for 20 years once signed. This is no different from a robbery.

People from Polly's construction company are already busy working here, and the demolition work was completed a few days ago.

Incoming materials and decoration have now begun.

Black Mike stood at the gate wearing a safety helmet and watched the workers carrying the goods.

Next to a car on the street, Ludy and Polly were lying on the hood of the car, looking at the drawings, listening to what a man wearing a safety helmet said next to them.

"Hi! What are you looking at?" David approached the two of them.

The two looked back to see David and Black Mike, and Ludy had an expression like "Why are you such a slacker?"

David feels that now Ludy's facial muscles seem to be working together more tacitly, and his expressions are quite accurate.

Polly smiled and said: "The applications of several companies have been approved. We are going to simply renovate the office building here. We will finish the office space first and it will be ready for use in a few days.

We are arranging various corporate office floors.Come and see where your security company's office is going to be located? "

David glanced at the drawings. Polly was so efficient!

He declined the cigarette offered by the helmet and said with a smile: "We definitely need the first floor and the basement. The basement can be converted into a small training room. Normally, the company's security employees do not come to work here. There are only a few clerical workers. Lou happens to be working as a doorman."

Polly objected: “The first floor can be given to you, but you don’t need it so much, so use half of it as a small living room.

The construction company has some tools that need to be stored in the basement, which is divided in half and shared by both companies. "

David shrugged and agreed.

Lu Di lit a cigarette next to him and said hesitantly: "It doesn't matter where you choose, but I have found a few suitable places for nightclubs. Come with me to have a look later and give me some advice. Mike Bai is also looking for it. A few people, do you want to meet them?"

"No problem, let's go to the place to take a look together later, and then let Mike Bai go to Wildfire and we can meet there."

David knew that these days were the busiest time for the company to start up, but he found reasons to retreat and be lazy.

This time, no matter what happened, I couldn't escape.

After answering some of Polly's questions about the company, she remembered her father's words and said to David: "My father contacted a friend and arranged for you to meet Lynch the day after tomorrow, and there will be a dinner in the banquet hall of the Blue Crystal Hotel.

I will send you an invitation tomorrow, as well as some information about important people. Remember to prepare it.Lucky boy! "

"What lucky boy?" David complained.

Ludy laughed loudly: "She thinks that you suddenly became smart because of the blessing of the god of luck."

Polly laughed too. She really loved David as much as she did her brother.

Although I have rarely seen each other after getting married in recent years, David is like a relative to their family.

At least that's what her mother Sena thinks.

After chatting with them for a while, Black Mike saw David and walked over.

When they met in the evenings these days, he learned that Black Mike's comrades were arriving in New York one after another.

David took out the prepared check from his pocket and gave it to Black Mike: "Your comrades have arrived in the past few days. Use the money to arrange their accommodation first, and you can find a good place for them.

You can tell them that the company has been established, these days are considered paid vacations, and they will not be able to have any vacations this year.

When this place and the nightclubs and shops are decorated in a few days, there will be no time to play. "

Black Mike took the check, looked at the 3000 dollars, put it in his pocket and said, "Do you need to meet them? They are still very curious about you as the boss."

David glanced at Lu Di and said: "We are going to Wildfire to find Mike Bai in a moment and meet the people he has recruited. If there is no problem with you, then let's meet together.

From now on, we will all be from the security company, so it would be better to get to know them earlier. "

Black Mike said no problem, took off his helmet, and went to find his comrades living nearby.

Before he left, Ludy stopped him and asked him to inform Bai Mike to also take people to Wildfire.

Polly and Hard Hat finalized their arrangements, and she said goodbye to them both and went about other things.

David and Ludy walked around a lot and looked at five venues. There was one venue that David thought was great.

He told Ludy about the concept of the clubhouse, which would be a completely separate building with separate entrances to the first floor and basement, making them two stores.

This is a four-story venue with a basement. Each floor has nearly 800 square meters. The basement has a high ceiling and is suitable for large nightclubs.

If someone likes to play with friends, they can come to the clubhouse on the first floor. The large private room upstairs with luxurious decoration and complete facilities is perfect for partying with friends.

There is a bar on the first floor of the club. Its bar counter is next to the window on the side of the door. Change the window to the largest floor-to-ceiling window. Find some beautiful ladies in fashionable clothes and various styles to sit at the bar and drink and chat every day.

They are natural magnets and scenery, attracting the attention of the men around them. Even if they don't come in to spend money, they will find opportunities to take a circle here to see the scenery and beauties.

Ludy thinks it's feasible. After all, this is near Wall Street. Many elites like to find places to hold parties when they make money together. If it opens here, it will be very popular.

He followed David upstairs and downstairs and asked some detailed questions.

David actually knew little about these, thinking about the luxurious club in his memory, and talked nonsense to Ludy.

What kind of window glass can be hung with large curtains to protect privacy?

Why should every private room be equipped with two bathrooms for men and women?

Why two?

David didn't know, so he could only make it up.

As a result, when David left here, he felt like he had spitted out more than two liters of saliva.

Ludy looked like he had gained a lot, and looked at David with a strange look.

David grew up watching him work in Manhattan. Where did these messy insights come from?

Ludy expressed confusion.

On the way to Wildfire, Ludy asked David to go to the tailor shop tomorrow morning to try on clothes.

There is still time before the dinner. If the one-size-fits-all clothes don’t fit, you can ask an experienced tailor to help you change them.

After all, David is now representing the company. They are members of the same boat. If they are embarrassed, they will be embarrassed together.
