Manhattan Reborn 1978

The company's small building.

Several people walked out of the building.

Just now.

While Ludy and David were telling what happened today, Giles' invitation came.

Laura, you're leaving New York tomorrow.

He wanted David to go to the party to see off his little sister.

David used the excuse that it was not easy to walk on the street yet, and told Giles to go there later.

Giles said he understood. He had heard about what happened today, and he would discuss the details after David went there and the two met.

just now.

Ludy shook his head and rejected the idea of ​​David asking him to tag along.

"You and Polly go together, just in time to meet their eldest brother, Panaris Norton Morgan."

"Oh? Do you know Panaris?"

"Nonsense! I know all those children in the Morgan family!"

David scratched his head. He only found out the name of Giles' brother today. It seemed like he should have done all his work in advance.

"Then I'll go with Polly. You've been busy all day too. Go back and get some rest early in the evening."

Lu Di waved his hand impatiently: "Get out of here! Why are you more verbose than my wife~!"

Polly curled her lips and said, "Don't make trouble with your wife next time. She is a good wife and mother. How many have you raised outside..."

Ludy quickly stopped the little aunt's words: "Okay! Pretend I didn't say it! You guys have fun tonight, let Mike Bai and others go with you, just take Cohen's jeep, I'll give these soldiers Let’s arrange accommodation, and the car will be for you tonight!”

After finishing his explanation, Lu Di held up his pants and ran to another jeep not far away, preparing to leave. .

Why are you holding up your pants?

Because the streets are full of mud and water!

Why are you running so fast?

Because he raised it. . .Polly didn't know how many lovers she had. .

Um. .Polly guessed that Ludy must have at least three or four lovers. .

David looked at Lu Di's retreating back in amusement: "Let's go, don't go too late, let Giles and the others wait~"

Polly glanced at the sidewalk, not in a pretty mood.

When she came out of the house today, she could not have imagined that she would go to a party in the evening.

The trousers she is wearing now will definitely be stained with dirt later.

How could she go to Giles' party wearing such dirty pants? .

David watched Polly staring at the ground hesitantly, tilted his head, looked Polly up and down, then strode back to her and spread his hands.

"Come on, I'll carry you over."

Polly's face felt hot, but her movements were honest. She raised her legs to David and jumped lightly. David held her in his arms and strode onto the jeep.

The car started, and Mike Bai, who was driving, glanced at the two of them in the rearview mirror with a smile, and then pretended to continue driving, with his ears pointed back.

Both David and David were sitting in the back row, and Polly wanted to find a topic to talk about to relieve some of her nervousness.

"You said that when Giles called just now, he knew that you were being followed today. What happened next? Did he say anything?"

David shook his head indifferently: "What he said is not important, what he will do is important."

"We'll see him later, and what do you think he'll do?"

Polly moved her thigh next to David slightly and thought for a moment: "He will either express his feelings about the things that happened around you today..."

"No, I don't think he means anything, Polly."

Polly, who was interrupted, was a little dazed: "You are...what do you mean?"

David shrugged and looked at the street and the pedestrians who reappeared on the street: "I mean, what do you think he and Pine will do for me and for what happened today?"

Polly was dumbfounded: "Maybe they won't do anything."

"Hehe~"

"Yeah, it's also possible that Giles will find some people to help Cohen for me."

"Polly, Giles and I are friends, good friends."

"I don't want him to do anything for me because of these things."

"Not at all!"

Polly said in confusion: "But you said you are friends~"

David leaned back and let himself sit in the back seat: "Yes! If Giles takes the initiative to help me with these things today, give me ideas, find connections to deal with these things, and help me If so, it’s because he is my friend, a good friend!”

"But if I beg him, take the initiative to ask him for help, and let him use the energy and connections in the family to help me, then our future relationship will only be acquaintances at best, and we will never be friends. Two words."

Polly pointed her lower lip with her finger, not turning the corner slightly: "Do you have any... misunderstanding about the definition of a friend?"

David didn't explain anything and remained silent.

He needs to calmly sort out these things today and think about them again!

Mike Bai glanced in the rearview mirror at David who was slumped in the back seat, staring blankly out of the car window with his eyes half closed.

The people around David and those who care about him are all like what David said just now. They will silently do anything that is beneficial to David without him having to say anything.

Just like Polly asking questions in the back seat, Ludy who had just declined the invitation, Black Mike, Lavis, etc. who were sitting at the door of the restaurant staring out with weapons in hand.

David, the qualities in him that make Mike Bai feel more and more attractive, have been silently affecting all the people who are active and appear around him.

Among them, Mr. and Mrs. Nash and Likert, who had dinner with David today, were also included.

Um. .

That little girl Susan. .

Judging from her behavior in the restaurant this afternoon, she must be inseparable from David. .

Among these people, the longer they stay with David, the more they feel that life is not so interesting without David. . .

This made Mike Bai scratch his head and couldn't explain clearly.

Just like a few days ago, when he and Giovanni were taking a break and chatting at the New Jersey training base, the silly boy suddenly sighed: "I miss David~ I wonder what he is doing now?"

At that time, Mike Bai looked at Giovanni strangely: "You're going to get married and have a child! Stop messing around! Go play David's idea~"

Giovanni glanced at Mike Bai with disdain: "Besides shit, what else is on your mind?"

Mike Bai was furious and wanted to teach this stupid boy a lesson.

Giovanni clapped his fingers and moved his neck: "It seems you still don't respect my fist enough~ Come on! Let's try it again!"

Mike Bai was a little scared due to toothache. .

Fighting with a stupid boy, if you win, there is nothing to brag about. If you lose, you will lose face, and your face will hurt for several days. .

Don't ask him how he knows.

He had been educated by Giovanni more than once. .

In the car, the quiet atmosphere lasted until the end.

The jeep stopped at the entrance of the Blue Crystal Hotel.

Black Mike and Ravis, who were behind, quickly jumped out of the car, turned around in a big circle, looked at it again, and then signaled to White Mike, "It's safe!"

Polly looked outside the car quietly. After Mike Bai opened the car door, she pulled David, who was still in a daze and about to fall asleep.

After David regained consciousness, he looked around, rubbed his face, and got out of the car with Polly. He stretched out his hand to signal Polly to carry her into the hotel.

Polly glanced at the ground, hit the brat angrily, got out of the car and strode towards the door.

David tilted his head and looked at Mike Bai who tilted his head and snickered: "Um...what's wrong with her?"

Black Mike stepped forward with a smile on his face and gave him a kick on the butt: "Come in quickly!"

David rubbed his butt innocently and pointed at the big black guy with his hand: "You dare to kick my ass? You're done! You..."

Black Mike raised his leg to give David another kick.

David slipped away and chased Polly: "Black Mike, you damn bastard, just wait for me!"

"Haha~ I'll wait!"

Black Mike grinned widely, showing sixteen teeth. He dragged Lavis and followed David into the hotel.

Mike Bai threw the car keys to the waiter at the door, shaking his head and walking at the back.

Look, this is David's inexplicable quality that always makes people want to beat him, laugh and play with him, and see what interesting things he has done recently. . .

Think shit!

Why did these bastards take the elevator upstairs without waiting for him?

sxxt!

----

The top floor of the Blue Crystal Hotel.

When David and others stepped out of the elevator, Giles and Pine were standing at the elevator door with smiles, waiting for them.

David smiled and walked out of the elevator with Polly, hugging the two of them.

Giles patted him hard on the shoulder, turned sideways and invited the two of them to enter: "Boy, you must have a few more drinks tonight."

"Okay, let's see who of us falls first tonight!" David was quite confident about the provocation of the rookie Giles.

Black Mike and Lavis stood in the elevator, waved and nodded with Giles, and followed the elevator downstairs.

The living room on the top floor is still the same.

David walked in with Giles talking and laughing.

Panaris and Elder, Laura and Lilith were in two places in the living room. When they heard their voices, they all turned to look at David and the others who had just entered.

Panaris, who was closer to the door, both stood up, shook hands with David, who was approaching, and greeted him politely.

Polly also took David's arm and said hello with a ladylike smile.

After some boring polite exchanges.

Pine smiled and pulled a few people to the sofa where everyone had a story meeting last time. He motioned for Laura and the two of them to come over too, and everyone sat around.

Giles pointed towards the bar not far away: "David, today is your home court, give me something strong!"

David looked at a few people and smiled and teased Laura, who was huddled with Lilith: "Would you like something alcoholic and strong tonight?"

Laura, who was not in a high mood at first, was intrigued by David's playful smile: "What? Didn't you think it was exciting enough last time?"

David raised his eyebrows: "Then I'll give you a cup of apple flavor today!"

"No problem! Go get David boy~"

Panaris and Elder looked back and forth between the two, knowing that there must be some story between them.

Pine smiled and told the two of them that they had gone to a nightclub a few days ago and they all had fun together.

Panaris nodded suddenly: "Is it the night David met Lewis?"

"Yes!"

Elder adjusted his sitting position and turned sideways to ask Pine: "Did David and Lewis come up with the idea about MBS that night?"

"Both Panaris and I have read the document submitted for review, with a 3a rating! It really opened our eyes!"

Pine turned his head and glanced at David, who was chatting with Giles and bartending: "Maybe, you can ask David again later. I always feel that there is something wrong with this kid when he is chatting with Lewis about MBS. He didn’t make it clear.”

Panaris straightened his body: "Oh? For example?"

Pine turned his head slightly and glanced at Polly, who was sitting quietly aside, and said thoughtfully: "This idea proposed by David and Lewis can turn precipitated assets into liquid assets and realize cash out. "

"This point has a positive effect whether we look at it from a micro or macro perspective."

"Yesterday, I also asked people to find some information. In 1970, the National Mortgage Association of the US Government issued for the first time mortgage-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, with mortgage loan portfolios as the underlying assets."

"The securitization of home loans, as David said, was not invented or created by himself."

Elder frowned, thinking.

Panaris couldn't help but ask: "Why hasn't anyone continued to do it in the past eight years?"

"Because since the 70s, the United States has experienced the most severe inflation since the 20th century. Especially in the past few years, all large companies have been busy laying off employees. All projects, research, and businesses have been affected by the general environment. Start slowing down, putting it on hold indefinitely, or even giving up.”

"I understand what you said, but..."

Elder waved his hand to interrupt Panaris' questioning: "Let us hear what Pine has to say."

Pine nodded to him. It seemed that Panaris was still a little impatient~!

"I asked people to go through all the information in the past ten years in Stanley's information room and the information archives of Morgan Bank, and found materials similar to the MBS project concept proposed by Lewis. It should be some of the people who have left the company now. People, discovered this business opportunity and sorted it out.”

“But they never appeared on our desks in the end. They were thrown into the data room and ate dust in an unnoticed corner!”

After just two paragraphs, both Panaris and Elder's faces turned a little dark, and their brows knitted into a knot.

Eight years ago, the two of them had not taken over these affairs of the company. At that time, Panaris was still in college and Elder was helping Panaris manage the properties under his name.

Although these things may not be their fault, however. . .

The sound of David laughing loudly with Giles at the bar echoed in the living room.

Polly's eyes were lowered. She was listening to the conversations and laughter of several people, and her eyes were staring blankly at the vase on the coffee table in front of her.

Laura and Lilith both looked back at David, who was using a cocktail shaker to perform fancy bartending.

It seems that what this boy brings to everyone may be far more than what he has now.
