Manhattan Reborn 1978

New York, Queens.

Old Malkin stood at the door and saw off Mario Puzo and Francis Coppola~

Beside her, Sena held his arm and said, "Why don't you let them have dinner together tonight?"

Old Malkin shook his head and said: "Polly called. David wants to meet with the family tonight to talk about some things."

Sena frowned and pulled her husband back to the living room to sit down: "He...you..."

Old Malkin shook his head and waved his hands: "I don't know what that kid is going to do, but... it should be related to the message Ludy brought."

Sena nodded thoughtfully.

----

Time flies, and the sunset slowly sets in the sunset.

After dinner time, it started to drizzle again outside.

The living room on the first floor of Old Malkin's house was already full of people.

Eight core members of the Sidrich family came.

Plus Artaud, Lawrence, Andy, George. . .

and Malkin Sr., Ludy, Polly, Serna, Mankey, and. .A group of lovely children.

Among so many people, only George was called over by Ludit before dinner.

As for the reason. .

Old Malkin asked Polly about all her experiences today, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that having Boy George present at any time tonight would be helpful to what David wanted to say.

----

On the third floor, in Polly's bedroom.

David was gently awakened from his deep sleep.

He opened his eyes and found Polly sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him with a smile.

"How long have I slept?"

"More than four hours~!"

"Is everyone here?"

"Well... they're all downstairs~"

"Okay~ give me a few minutes~" David rubbed his dry eyes and started moving his neck back and forth. .

some. .Stiff~

Polly stood up and brought him a glass of water: "Don't worry, are you hungry? You can go downstairs and eat something first~"

"Ok~ But I still want to wash my hair first and wake up~"

"Wash your hair, let's take a shower~"

David rubbed his neck with his hands and thought for a while: "Forget it, it's too much trouble!"

----

Ten minutes later, David was sitting at the dining table on the first floor, eating dinner and listening to old Malkin's plan: real estate development and. .A plan to launder money in the form of renovations. .

After David heard this, his mouth was full of food. He looked at Old Malkin in surprise. After thinking for a while, he swallowed the food in his mouth: "How much money do you have that you can't see? You still need to use these methods?"

Old Malkin shrugged: "It must be more than what is in the bank account now~"

David was holding the juice cup, a little dazed. .

"Where did all this money come from...?"

"Underground casino ~ smuggling ~ protection fees, etc. ~"

Lu Di sat aside and continued with a smile: "I also know some channels that can clean them, but the fees they charge are too high!"

"How much do they want?"

"35%!"

"Uh..." David nodded speechlessly when he heard this ratio. .

Take out 100 million black money and get 65 clean money back. .

It’s not just ordinary black!

"Where's Andy? Have you asked him if he has any good ideas?"

"Of course, there should be someone on Wall Street who specializes in these businesses. Andy said he doesn't have the connections in this area, so..."

"Then... let me ask you a question?"

"Good~"

David wiped his mouth, glanced at the waiting people, and stood up: "Let's get started~!"

"ok~"

Old Malkin and Ludy nodded, and came to the living room with David, and sat down in a few specially reserved empty seats.

David saw George, Lawrence, and Artaud, nodded to them, and then looked around at the crowd. There were several familiar faces, and there were two people meeting for the first time. .

David gestured to Polly, asked for paper and pen, and said.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting~"

"Today, I called you here temporarily because of investment matters and also because of the real estate development plans in your hands. I have some news for you~"

"Let's talk about investment first."

"I don't know what old Malkin told everyone about the investment plan. If you don't understand anything, you can ask now and I can answer it for you~"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one raised their hand to ask a question. .

David looked a little cold, smiled and shook his head: "Then let me briefly re-explain the investment plan~"

"we will..."

ten minutes later.

David talked about his plan to invest in gold, oil, and silver. Under his explanation, everyone understood the essence of this investment and speculation. .No difference~

Someone raised their hands and said, "What about the risks? How do we control the risks when we invest our money? Will we lose everything?"

David nodded: "Any investment has risks~ This investment plan itself is a speculation plan with certain risks that I came up with based on analysis!"

"I know everyone doesn't know much about this."

"So in order to reduce risks, I will buy gold spot and oil spot."

"They are physical commodities that we can see, not futures contracts that will make you bankrupt~"

Someone then raised their hands and said: "Then... how much profit can we get if we invest all the money?"

David smiled and shook his head: "In my opinion, these are two questions."

"Let me answer the question of income first."

"According to my estimation, the investment income will at least double this time, which will take about 18 months."

"Double?"

"In one and a half years, 10 turned into 20?"

"This... doesn't seem to be very attractive~"

"Hey~ are you stupid? The investment David mentioned makes you clean money!"

"Um...that's right, but this money...has to be taxed, right?"

Everyone started talking nonsense, and David showed his hands to old Malkin helplessly.

"Ahem, be quiet! You are not here to argue! If you have any questions, ask them after David has finished speaking!"

David stood up, asked everyone to keep quiet, and said, "Let me talk about another question just now."

"Some people have said that all the money should be invested in this investment. I don't agree with this."

"Everyone knows that if you want the money in your hands to not depreciate, depositing it in the bank is the safest choice."

"My investment plan this time is based on the analysis that banks will raise interest rates and absorb more deposits to curb inflation."

"As bank interest rates rise, we can get more interest on our money, ensuring that everyone can get stable income."

"I won't go into details about the analysis of the economy and policy in general. If I were to finish all of this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to finish it in three days, and I won't be able to explain it clearly..."

"So, I made an investment plan for everyone, combining this investment with the real estate development business, so that everyone can quickly double their wealth with a relatively stable investment method!"

"This plan will divide everyone's money into five parts: savings, stock futures, insurance, collecting art, and using the funds in hand for real estate development!"

"Their distribution ratio needs to be decided by everyone based on their own actual situation, whether it is more radical or more conservative!"

"Savings and insurance, I won't tell you more here. The risk is the lowest and the return is the lowest. Everyone should know about them!"

“Let’s talk about buying stocks and funds first.”

"You can go find some traders you know and ask them to help you buy a stock you are optimistic about."

"Or buy some funds with very stable income growth and let them help you earn money back from the stock market."

"I believe everyone understands the difference between these two points~"

"What you don't understand is that neither stock traders nor fund managers will tell you the risks and returns in the stock market!"

"This is similar to the investment plan I made!"

"If any gentleman slaps the table and swears to you that if you put your money with him, he will definitely double your money!"

"Then... you have to be careful!"

"That person is either a liar or a lunatic!"

"Hahaha~" Everyone laughed in agreement.

David continued with a smile: "If you want to win in investing, most of the time it depends on preparation, data, analysis, and judgment. A small part of it depends on...luck!"

"My luck has always been very good ~ I believe everyone has heard of this!"

"Haha~ Lucky boy~ I know!"

"Haha~ It's good if everyone knows~"

"Then... let me continue talking about the remaining two!"

"Collect art!"

"I don't know what everyone thinks about this... Does anyone know anything about it?"

Old Malkin looked around at the brothers in the family, shook his head with certainty and said: "You continue~ none of them understand!"

"Um..Okay~"

"Actually, it's very simple to say ~ The current art market has not yet reached a period of explosive growth in value, and many people are not aware of it... What price will it sell for in the future ~"

"I won't say these words about predicting the future here today~"

"If you choose conservative investment, you can go to some reputable large galleries, select some abstract paintings that you like, and buy them back as collections~"

"Believe me, they will definitely surprise you~!"

"Abstraction~That's...what?"

"I don't know~"

David smiled and waved his hand: "Let me tell you another value of these collections of paintings~"

"Old Malkin just told me that you all have some money in your hands, which is not suitable for investment~~"

"Then... you can use these art collections and transactions to make this money... clean!"

David raised his hand to stop what everyone was about to say, and then said: "I can help you find out how to operate it, how much it costs, etc.~"

"Today, I just want to tell you that Chicago gang leader Al Capone, such an awesome figure, was arrested by the IRS and sentenced to 11 years. I don't want everyone to be targeted by these hyenas. Up~"

"If the IRS (Federal Tax Service) determines that you are evading taxes, you don't even have the right to remain silent."

"Not only can the IRS arrest you, but they also have their own courts and prisons. They can freeze bank accounts and property directly without applying for a public trial or having a public trial."

"So, in a sense, no one can completely avoid taxes!"

"No one wants to have one-third of the wealth they have accumulated over the years be taken away by money launderers, let alone be targeted by the IRS!"

"If we don't take these hidden dangers into consideration today, it will inevitably be taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions in the future!"

"I received a message that someone has been eyeing the property rights of your houses in the franchise area!"

"My guess is that some greedy real estate developers have seen the property rights in your hands and want to get some of them."

"What? Which damn bastard is it?"

"Who are you talking about? Have you... heard the name?"

"fxxx!"

"Has the Sidrich family been forgotten by people in recent years?"

"Uh..." David looked at old Malkin again. .

Old Malkin slapped his forehead, stood up and said: "Shut up! If anyone talks more, get out!"

"fxxx!"

"David, go on!"

"Good~"

David saw that everyone had shut up with unkind expressions, and continued, somewhat dumbfounded: "Don't worry, everyone~ As long as we can deal with some of our own hidden dangers in advance, we won't be afraid of these people coming to cause trouble~"

"After all, no one really wants to mess with the Sidrich family!"

“These properties are in Manhattan, in concession areas!”

"If they want to successfully develop these properties, without the Sidrich family's nod... it's simply impossible!"

"Hahaha~Yes~Boy David, you better explain it clearly!"

Old Malkin glared at the speaker and motioned for David to continue.

"Haha~ The idea of ​​real estate development I want to talk about is just because of the news I got!"

“I don’t quite understand the specific process of developing these buildings and what details need to be done, and everyone... probably doesn’t understand either.”

"However, we can roughly calculate the cost account here first!"

“First is the loan!”

"I just said that as interest rates continue to increase, all banks will take back part of the loans and reduce the amount of loans they extend based on the actual situation!"

"If we don't have the right connections to help us get a large loan, then this real estate development project will only be on paper~"

"There are also time costs, sales costs, and ultimately benefits!"

"To build a building, even if it has only a dozen floors, the construction period will take at least one and a half years!"

"Not to mention, you may not want to build only a dozen floors... so few~"

"Then... its time cost will continue to increase significantly as the construction period extends!"

"Inside this expense, workers, machinery, loans, interest, etc. all require continuous capital investment!"

"The final income will also be affected by various reasons and will not achieve everyone's ideal results."

"I believe that people don't want to invest money in two or three years to solve a lot of troubles. In the end, the money earned back is not as much as the growth in the bank."

Everyone in the Sidrich family nodded.

"And then there's the cost of sales I just mentioned."

"I said before that when our building is completed and sold, banks may still be cautious in granting loans."

“So, in terms of sales time, the cost of time must also be included.”

"In addition, don't you all know... how much tax do you have to pay after selling real estate and making profits?"

Everyone shook their heads~

"Haha~ That's the number you least want to hear~"

"I have an idea that can help everyone reduce this tax rate to the lowest!"

"Today, I verbally reached a cooperation intention with a gentleman~"

"He can help us solve all issues such as tax rates, loans, and real estate development approvals~"

"He will also make an investment to participate in real estate development projects~"

David paused, glanced at Polly, and then said: "My idea is that the Sidrich family will negotiate a cooperation terms that can guarantee everyone's interests, and send a representative to negotiate with the collaborator~"

"Of course, if there are any unresolved problems here, I can help you talk to these gentlemen!"

"And this representative, I think... Aalto is a suitable candidate!"

David looked at Alto who looked surprised. .

Unexpectedly, this kid went to the New Jersey training base for a few days, became darker, lost weight, and looked more energetic. .

Old Malkin frowned and looked at his daughter Polly. She didn't say who David had reached a verbal agreement on real estate development with today. .

David smiled and looked at Andy: "Please and George help us design a table to collect statistics on everyone's data assessment of investment risk acceptance."

"Don't worry, everyone! This assessment is just to determine everyone's acceptance of risks and does not involve any other content."

"Okay~" Andy and George took out paper and pen and began to study the details of the evaluation problem.

David walked up to old Malkin, bent down and said a few words in his ear.

The knot on old Malkin's brow slowly untied. .

The Norton family, Seamus Norton!

Polly once said that this family was a married family of Morgans.

If he is allowed to participate in real estate development. .It can indeed solve some difficult problems, and the Sidrich family no longer needs to be thugs. .

But. .Regarding the conditions of cooperation. .Will it be difficult to talk about it?

David guessed what he was thinking, straightened up and said: "The terms can be negotiated slowly~ Now we have to decide whether to cooperate with him first!"

Old Malkin glanced at Polly and the brothers of the Sidrich family, and nodded slowly.

"Cooperate! I will tell you the specific details as soon as possible!"

"Good~"

David nodded, looked at Lawrence, and waved to him.

"Man~ There's something not right about your performance today. Is there something you want to tell me?"

Lawrence looked around at everyone, pulled Ludy along, walked to the kitchen with David, and whispered: "Cohen and the others came up with an action plan after meeting with Baugh Bellu in Miami~"

"Cohen? Are they still in Miami? Did something dangerous happen?" David asked, somewhat unclearly.

Lawrence shook his head slightly: "He only said that he would start taking action tonight. I can only tell you the specific plan~"

"Then... do you have his contact information now?"

"There is a number...but I tried it just now and no one answered the phone."

"Okay~"

David touched his nose, lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Then you start right away and try calling every few minutes. It's best if you can contact Cohen and know his situation so that I can find a way to help him!"

"Good~"

Lawrence nodded, glanced at Ludy, and walked out of the kitchen to find the phone.

----

The southern end of Queens.

Not far from Sam Rogers' home, in a nice-looking restaurant.

Mr. Otis Parker was drinking red wine with Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, listening to the melodious music and chatting.

"Sam, what do you think of the plan David mentioned today, it...?"

Sam's movements began to slow down, he put down the tableware, picked up the wine glass, touched it with Mr. Parker, and thought about it.

"If... I gave this plan to Goldman Sachs... I might become a new partner!"

"Oh??"

"Then David... he just got the title of a consultant at Morgan Stanley today!"

Sam picked up the tableware again and shook his head: "I am very satisfied with the new job that Boss David gave me. As for what he can get from this plan, he won't tell me, and I won't ask!"

Mr. Parker squinted his eyes and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems... that you can be selected is enough to prove that you are excellent!"

"Haha, thank you~"

"But have you found your niche? Do you have any ideas?"

Sam looked at Mr. Parker with some surprise: "As long as David can continue to be successful, instead of letting me find my own position, I might as well just follow his arrangements and work~"

Mr. Parker nodded with more satisfaction.

He picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth gently: "Sam, I will also participate in this investment."

"Have you ever thought about investing some money in it?"

Sam glanced at his wife, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I have no money to invest~"

"I have it, I can lend it to you!"

"Uh... why? It's just the first day we met... right?"

Mr. Parker shrugged: "I have already said it. The amount of money is not important to me. What is important is that I can enjoy the whole process of David's success."

Sam looked at him speechlessly. .He touched his wife lightly with his foot and told her not to pay attention with his eyes. .

Mr. Parker's attention was obviously not on the couple and he continued: "No one should be able to impress me with money, Sam."

"I hope you can be like this~"

"So, you want to lend me money and make this investment with David?"

"Haha~ That's right!"

"Um...can I go home and think about it?"

"Of course ~ this is your freedom! But, I hope to hear the good news from you as soon as possible!"

"No problem, I will give you the answer when we meet Stanley tomorrow!"

"Haha~ok! Come, cheers to our friendship!"

"Cheers~"
