Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

Stanley fourth floor.

Everyone in the conference room fell into silence after David finished speaking. .

Mr. Odis Parker, who had always remained a bystander, looked around at everyone, and tapped his hand on the table with a smile. .

"Dangdangdang~"

The sound of his knocks attracted the attention of the silent people.

"Guys, I think everyone is taking this too pessimistically~"

"Ms. Polly's father, old Mr. Malkin's response plan is not the only choice for us now~"

"On the contrary~ From my point of view, even if the Cali Group is a powder keg about to explode, we can make it explode according to our plan when necessary without causing any harm to us~"

David didn't understand what Mr. Parker meant and said curiously: "Please continue~Mr. Parker!"

"Hehe~"

"This female drug lord in Miami, Griselda Blanco, judging from her current performance, she should not seek death and cause us trouble~"

"So David, what you are worried about is why this Cali group would find someone to assassinate you!"

"Um...that's right~"

"Then can we... patiently wait for the news from the people in Miami after they have contacted the people in the Cali Group, and then make a judgment on the subsequent actions~?"

"Guys, any problem or problem has a solution, and there are many solutions!"

"We assume that the worst news has come from Miami. The people from the Cali Group are going to fight David to the death!"

"Then...our revenge plan can be done in many ways~!"

"For example, we can send a few capable personnel to Colombia, penetrate into their group's organization, obtain first-hand reliable intelligence, and then arrange personnel to carry out precise strikes against the main core members of the Cali Group~"

"Or we can simply offer various favorable conditions to bribe people with different intentions within the Cali Group, and let him provoke conflicts among the people within the Cali Group. We will take advantage of this opportunity to arrange for people to cooperate with him internally and externally, so as to Kill all the leaders~!"

As Mr. Parker spoke, his eyes were constantly observing everyone, and David was the one he needed to focus on right now.

"Of course, if everyone is not satisfied with the two methods I mentioned~"

"We can still...find the competitors and enemies of the Cali Group in Colombia, reach cooperation with them, and let them help us carry out operations against the Cali Group in Colombia~"

"I think this Blanco in Miami... she must have made a lot of enemies in Miami when she wanted to control the drug sales channels, right?"

"Then...Colombia, where the cocaine is produced, will also cause conflicts and frictions between the Cali Group and the Pablo Group you just mentioned because of this huge benefit!"

"We can definitely take advantage of this and reach cooperation with Pablo~"

"As far as I know, the price of cocaine on the market now is around 22-30 yuan per gram~"

"This means... Pablo can earn a Franklin by selling 3-4 grams of cocaine~"

"Haha~ Maybe everyone doesn't know that Franklin's transportation problem is the biggest problem that troubles drug lords!"

"Often, they transport one shipload of drugs to the United States, but need to transport two shiploads of Franklin back."

"If we guarantee cooperation with Pablo, we can help launder the Franklins he obtained from selling drugs in the United States, and then use some bank accounts opened in tax havens to steal them without anyone noticing. Give it back to Pablo~”

"Tell me...this Pablo, is he willing to help us?"

David heard Mr. Parker say this. .I feel like I have goosebumps all over my body. .

Working with Pablo to launder his money?In exchange for him fighting the Cali Cartel in Colombia?

This idea is so fucking awesome. .

It’s an eye-opener!

"No~Mr. Parker~I told you, I don't want to have anything to do with drugs~"

“Let’s not talk about working with Pablo anymore!”

Mr. Parker nodded slowly, changed his tone, and continued: "Then let's start with... the government's drug control level!"

"A few years ago, President Nixon gave a televised speech, clearly expressing his attitude towards curbing drug abuse and drug use~"

"What everyone was talking about just now... Borg Beru is the director of the newly established Federal Drug Enforcement Administration a few years ago, right?"

"Yes~"

Pine was very unfamiliar with Mr. Parker. When he heard him talking about Bog Beru, he nodded slightly.

"Then... we can go to the congressmen who belong to Florida and ask them to stand up and speak out and submit proposals to Congress to increase efforts to combat drug trafficking and smuggling!"

"These drug lords dumped drugs into the United States and made a lot of money. Now they want to get away with it and live a good life with money like water. This is impossible!"

"The United States must make a fierce response to the continuous outflow of rice dollars from the mainland and the continuous harm to American people through smuggled drugs!"

“Among them, we must focus on cracking down on the drug lords headed by the Colombian Cali Cartel!”

"At the same time, the U.S. Embassy in Colombia will also submit a drug lord extradition bill to the Colombian government!"

"They must be arrested, extradited back to the United States, and tried and sanctioned by American law!"

"Of course, our plan does not naively expect the Colombian government to take a harsh attitude to crack down on these drug lords~"

"So, we can arrange for people to secretly recruit some desperadoes from the border between the United States and Mexico~such as Mexicans, Brazilians, Peruvians, etc.~"

"Arm them, promise generous rewards, and let them enter Colombia to cause trouble for the Cali group!"

"In this way, whether officially or secretly, the Cali Group will be overwhelmed with troubles. All kinds of conflicts and troubles will continue to escalate. They will no longer have any energy to pay attention to New York!"

After listening to Mr. Parker's narration, everyone felt that this idea was a good one. .The most reliable way so far~

David did not feel that Mr. Parker's idea was the best way for him to deal with the Cali Group's problems now. .

"Okay~Thank you Mr. Parker~!"

"Let's just wait for the news from Miami~ I will contact Cohen and tell him not to be impulsive~!"

"Guys, is there anything else? If not, let's break up!"

Everyone looked at each other, and David looked at Pine. .

Pine lowered his head and glanced at the notepad: "There are two more things~"

"Mayor Lynch and Commissioner Hardman's...campaign team has been formed~"

"As their supporters, we should make a donation to support their campaign!"

"Are you running for election~? Let's pay... how much is appropriate?"

Pine turned the pen in his hand, shook his head with a smile and said: "Usually it's a few thousand dollars, the highest is no more than 2 dollars!"

"Then... you can help me pay for this first. After my loan goes into the company account, Lilith, please help me pay it back to Pine!"

"Haha~ OK!"

"Pine, what's one more thing?"

"Also, you should get ready and leave for San Francisco~"

"Uh..." David completely forgot about it. .

He looked at Pine, raised his hand and scratched his head and said, "Us? Aren't you going to come with us?"

"No~ Giles and Bloomer will go with you this time. I have a lot of work to do in New York!"

"Then... Lilith, are you going?"

"No, Panaris will go with you..."

Lilith said and looked at Grace next to her. .

Grace smiled and continued: "I will go to California together, just in time for Blumer and Leslie to introduce the TV station they hold stocks in, whether it is suitable for our media group to acquire!"

"When are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow afternoon or evening~"

"The party officially starts at ten o'clock the day after tomorrow!"

Lilith continued: "You need to prepare more clothes for the party. I will accompany you to buy some later!"

amount. .

Yes, or not?

David touched his nose with his hand, glanced at Polly, Ludy and the others, thought for a moment and said, "If we leave tomorrow, I still have a lot of things to do before leaving~"

"I have an old tailor I know well about clothes and stuff. I'll give him a call later and he'll help me with it!"

As he spoke, he looked at Pine. .

Pine responded quickly. .Smiling and nodding, he continued: "Is it the old tailor who attended the company's shareholders meeting here last time?"

"I talked to him~"

Lilith glanced at Pine, who stood up to speak for David, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly: "Okay~ Then I won't care about these things~"

"Okay~ So guys, the meeting is over~ Haha~"

After saying that, David jumped up from the chair and ran outside. .

When everyone saw him patting his ass and running away, they all started to pack their things with different expressions, said goodbye to each other, and were ready to leave. .

----

David walked around the fourth floor and found Sam and others.

A few of them were chatting about something in a large, slightly empty office.

"Hey, guys, is this the office of Fuller Fund Company?"

"Yes, this room and the one next to it belong to our Fuller Company!

"We are discussing the layout. Do you have any ideas on how you would like your office to be arranged?"

"I don't care about that~ As long as you have basic office supplies, it will be ok!"

David walked around this room, then walked around the one next to him, and came back and said to Sam: "I see there is a single room in that room. Please help me decorate it. From now on, that will be my office." ~"

"I'm leaving New York tomorrow and going to California for a few days. You wait until the funds arrive and decorate this place~"

"Leon, you need to keep those documents in the conference room today..."

David explained the work to Sam, Leon, Yuri, and Erwin in detail, and prepared to go back to the conference room to pack things and go to the old tailor. .Let’s settle the clothing issue first~

Lilith is right~ People depend on their clothes!

David's suits are the ones he bought from old tailors. .Bargain~

When I go to California this time, I really need some high-end goods that can decorate the appearance~!

----

By the time David finished his lunch and rushed to the old tailor's place, it was already afternoon.

"Jingle bell~"

A string of bells hanging at the door of the old tailor shop kept ringing as David came in~

Black Mike, who came with David, smiled and found a seat for himself, poured a cup of coffee, and watched David and the old tailor hug each other and say hello.

The old tailor looked at David with some surprise: "Why do you have time to see me?"

"I am...going to California tomorrow and need to buy new clothes to attend some parties~"

"Hahaha~ I knew you, little bastard, would never come to my place if nothing happened!"

"Haha~ You know, I'm just busy here!"

The old tailor squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand and pressed David's shoulder: "Those who are busy at work are doing business. How can there be such a thing as working in vain?"

"You kid~ are about to become the big boss now!"

Speaking of this, David felt like he was filled with bitterness and couldn't vomit it out: "Don't laugh at me~ I came to you to buy clothes today, and it may take a few days for the money to be delivered to you! I’m not a big boss!”

"Haha~ I can give you money and stuff when you have it~"

"Come on, come on, sit down and tell me, what kind of party are you going to attend in California this time? I have many different styles here for you to choose from~"

David sat down, glanced at the unscrupulous Black Mike who was about to read the joke, shook his head and said: "I only heard that it was hosted by Wells Fargo Bank... a gathering of bankers. More specific... I don't know either. "

"Oh... banker!"

"Yeah... I understand~ Just wait a minute!"

The old tailor made a self-contained gesture to David and the other two, and walked towards the studio behind the counter.

After a few minutes.

He smiled and held up several dark-colored, well-made, two-button suits with wide open collars, and gestured to David: "Decades ago, people on Wall Street liked single-row, three-button suits, thinking that wearing them would make them look more handsome. The whole person looks more professional and rigorous..."

"A few years ago, people on Wall Street began to like this kind of single-breasted, two-button suit, thinking that wearing it can bring out a person's spirit and sophistication~"

"But now people working on Wall Street have begun to change their tastes again. They like suits with only one button and one row. They think that when they wear them to work, they can relax more when they sit down and appear less...restrictive~"

David took several suits from the old tailor, gestured with one of them on his body and said, "Is there so much elegance in this?"

"Haha~ What's the point~"

"The materials used in today's suits are all similar. Except for those specially customized materials, the material differences are not too big~"

"The idea of ​​dressing well... has always been people's subjective cognition and opinion~"

"If the president wears a suit worth ten thousand dollars and receives foreign guests, it expresses the importance he attaches to the foreign guests. It is an act of paying attention to etiquette~"

"But to those bankers... it doesn't matter how expensive a suit you wear~"

"What they value is you - whether you can bring benefits to them and help them obtain more and greater benefits!"

"Any person or thing, if we look at it from different angles, we will see different results~"

David slowed down while trying on the suit, thought carefully about the old tailor's words, nodded in agreement and said thank you: "Thank you~!"

"Haha~ Thank you for what?!"

"You have a smart mind, and you won't choose to live an ordinary life like your father and I."

"Your future may be beyond our reach!"

"So, boy David, you must remember!"

"Behind any huge benefit, there may be huge danger hidden!"

"When you make some important decisions, the price you have to pay has already been marked by others!"

David took off his suit and nodded silently.

"I remember what you said!"

"Okay~ Just don't mind my nagging~ Hahaha!"

"No, how could it be? Haha~"

"Okay then, try this one again and see where you need to change it."

----

more than an hour later.

With a few suits in hand, David and Black Mike hugged the old tailor goodbye. .

On the way to Da Film and Television Company.

David looked at the street scene and pedestrians outside the car window. .Lost in thought!

Today, at the meeting led by Pine and Polly, the shareholding relationship between Da Company and David was split, and all the equity interests in Fuller Fund Company and his personal name were separated, and their own team was initially established. .

Plus the amount is terrifying. .Futures investment list, specific arrangements for subsequent work, and. .This meeting mentioned that Blanco sent people to New York to inquire about the handling of the Cali Group's problems, etc. .

So many things~

These things brought a lot of pressure and motivation to David!

Benefits and dangers.

Decisions and costs.

The old tailor was right, they were all problems that David had ignored before!

Mr. Parker once asked David how to introduce himself to people when he went to California~

Advisor to Morgan Stanley?

A business partner of the Morgan family?

Lilith's fiancé?

Emm. . .

For David, it would be more impressive to directly introduce his name~

Simple and direct~

Fuller Fund owner, David Coleman.

A newcomer who has just entered Wall Street and started a business ~

The investment record is zero for the time being!

But after next year, the name David Coleman will blind the eyes of all those who look down upon it!
