Manhattan Reborn 1978

Chapter 300 Chips

San Francisco.

David and Bloomer returned to the apartment, changed their clothes, had some simple dinner in the apartment, and then rushed back to the Union Square Hilton Hotel to prepare for the grand cocktail party held here tonight.

When the two of them arrived at the hotel door, Giles was already dressed in formal clothes and standing on the side of the hall, chatting happily with a few young people.

"Hey~David, Bloomer!"

Giles, who had been paying attention to the movement at the door, saw two friends coming, apologized to a few people, and greeted David and the others with a smile.

"You got it done so quickly?"

"Haha~ How am I like you two? I do everything as slowly as my grandma..."

"Hey~ you brat!"

Blumer rolled up his sleeves, pretending to teach him a lesson.

David acted like a peacemaker and stopped Bloomer: "Don't worry, man, we have plenty of time to deal with him!"

"...Yes! Haha~ I listen to you!"

Giles felt like he was speechless. .

It seems like there's something bad going on tonight. .

"Um...well...I apologize, I sincerely apologize!"

David and Bloomer looked at each other and leaned together with evil smiles: "Apologise? Is it too late?"

"How is that possible? Why is there such a thing as early or late in apologizing?"

"I.."

"Okay~ let's find a place and pull over to talk!"

David and Bloomer, one on each side, held Giles between them. The three of them glanced around and found a corner where there was no one for the time being. The three of them stood here and felt that the view was pretty good, so they started bickering and waiting. .

ten minutes later.

At the hotel's entrance, the flow of people walking in slowly began to increase.

Panaris, Grace, and Leslie followed the flow of people and walked in.

Giles had the best eyes and waved to his brother: "Here!"

When the three Panaris saw the three best friends, they walked over with a smile.

"You guys look great!" Grace looked back and forth at the three disabled friends and praised them with a smile.

Blumer said with a smile like this: "You guys go in first, I'll wait for my dad here!~"

"Good~"

Panaris nodded with Grace beside him, turned around and entered the venue first.

Leslie, who was left behind, thought for a moment and stood beside the three of them: "I'll also wait with you~"

Giles tilted his head slightly, glanced at Leslie, and touched David with his elbow.

David nodded slightly, smiled and said to Leslie: "In the evening, after the cocktail party is over, do you have any plans?"

"Me? No~"

"Then how about we go have fun together?"

Leslie smiled and shrugged: "Okay~"

"Haha~ ok! It's settled! Bloomer will arrange for us to have a happy night tonight!"

Bloomer was a little confused: "Why am I the one making the arrangements? Is it just because my family is..."

"Yes, what? What do you want to say?"

"Uh... Okay~ I'll take you to see some new and exciting things tonight~ Hehe!"

"Cut~"

Giles and David curled their lips and gave him a secret middle finger. .

Leslie smiled and shook his head, moving slightly closer to Giles.

. . .

Time slipped away quietly.

I have to say, the scene tonight is really spectacular!

In terms of arrangements for tonight's cocktail party, the hotel clearly learned from the lessons learned during the afternoon meeting and arranged two large banquet halls and four small banquet halls as the venue for this cocktail party.

After this arrangement, the needs of tonight's guests were barely met. .

Almost an hour later.

According to what David observed while standing at the door, more than 600 people attended tonight's cocktail party.

During this period, David's friends Giles, Blumer, and Leslie all introduced him to many celebrities and influential bankers who would come to the reception tonight.

In the direction of the door, Old Wharton came in chatting and laughing with a few people.

Bloomer saw a few people around his father and whispered to David: "The fat man with short hair and a short height is the junior finance minister in charge of domestic finance in the Ministry of Finance. He and my father are old friends~"

"The tall man with white hair is the head of the Savings Bureau under the Ministry of Finance and is in charge of the savings work of domestic banks."

"And that old man with a dark blue tie and extremely white teeth is the head of the Federal Savings Bank of San Francisco!"

"They can come to the reception tonight, maybe they want to give a speech at the meeting tomorrow~"

David listened silently to Blumer's introduction, his mind spinning rapidly, memorizing the appearances and identities of these people one by one.

. . .

When Old Wharton saw his son Blumer, he reached out and waved to him.

Bloomer smiled and nodded with his friends, followed his father Walton Sr., and walked into the venue.

Emm. .

Only then did David realize that it was. .Giles and Blumer pulled him to stand in the corner, just to let him have a clear understanding of tonight's guests at close range again.

The identities of these guests may not mean anything to the three children of the big family. .

But for David, he just had access to high-level people. .For little people, this kind of opportunity is something that can only be met but cannot be sought!

Not to mention that there are bad friends by his side to help and patiently introduce him.

David silently kept this in mind. Words of gratitude were not suitable to be spoken to two bad friends now. From now on, he could only take some actions to express his gratitude!

. . .

After Old Wharton and others entered the venue, more than [-]% of the guests tonight were already here~

Giles and Leslie walked in front, leading David into the main venue of the reception.

After entering the venue, David took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray, stood on tiptoe, and looked up. In this venue where most of the people were men, he quickly found Grace and the handkerchief beside him. Naris.

On one side of the venue, near the wall, there was a slightly higher platform.

The hotel arranged a small band on top and placed two upright microphones.

When David looked around, a middle-aged man with a slightly older face walked up to the stage with a smile and tapped the microphone twice. A slight noise came from the speakers that had been installed around the venue. .

Ten seconds later, the middle-aged man probably saw the staff's signal and said with a smile.

“Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is welcome to come to this cocktail party tonight~”

"Please allow me to introduce to you some important guests tonight~"

"they are.."

As he spoke, David saw several high-level government officials introduced by Blumer just now, as well as the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, walking onto the stage, smiling and waving to everyone. .

Leslie next to her, seeing this scene, shook her head in amusement and complained: "I bet, each of them can talk for a few minutes, and it will attract countless applause. The last one to speak will definitely be the one. .Pudgy junior minister of finance!”

Giles blinked, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Leslie and said, "Bet, ten knives!"

David glanced at the two of them speechlessly: "What's the point of gambling?"

"Haha~ you don't understand~!"

"That's right~ Only when you experience this kind of thing more in the future will it become interesting!"

"Okay~ As long as you are happy~ Haha!"

David shrugged, saying that he had little experience and did not understand the brain circuits of you people~

Leslie smiled and raised his glass to him, not even noticing that someone was already speaking on the stage. .

"David, when you come to California this time, besides attending meetings, do you have any other plans?"

"Well... not yet. I want to visit Silicon Valley, and then go to Hollywood in Los Angeles to see what it's like~ and then go to the beach for a day? That's about it~"

"Oh? These are all things you thought up now, right?"

"Haha~ Yes~ This is my first time leaving New York and my first time coming to the West~"

"Hahaha~ Then you have to leave a day for me. Let's go out on the yacht and have fun on the Pacific Ocean. How about that?"

"Okay!"

"Haha~ Okay, we are committed!"

How could David refuse such an invitation?

Yachts and stuff. .He hasn’t seen it yet!

Giles was on the side, looking at the stage, the smile on his lips getting bigger and bigger.

new York.

Manhattan, in an apartment building on 76th Street.

Shinny, a gang leader in the Bronx, and his loyal subordinate Carew, sat at a table and listened to the tape given to him by Ludy. .

Inside the apartment.

Several voices that were extremely familiar to Xinni and Karu came from the recorder.

Twenty minutes later.

The two of them listened to the contents of the tape for the second time before pressing the stop button.

Karu looked at Xinni with worry and handed him a pipe: "If this tape is real, we don't have much time left~"

"Ok!"

Xinni responded in a low voice.

The expression on his face was hidden in the large smoke, making it difficult for Karu to see clearly~

After a while.

Xinni put out the cigarette butts with the soles of his shoes, stood up, walked into the bedroom, rummaged a few times, took out two boxes, placed them in front of Carew, and opened them.

"Tonight, you go find some reliable people and take care of this matter!"

"it is good!"

Karu glanced at the cash in the box and answered unusually simply.

"Take them with you and go first~"

"I'm going to find a way to get my family out of New York. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, you go to the old place and wait for my call!"

"Ok~"

Karu quickly picked up the two boxes, nodded to Xinni, and left~

Xinni watched Karu leave, followed him and closed the door. He stood at the door and lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned around, walked to the phone, picked up the phone and dialed.

new York.

The Queen.

Ludy sat on the sofa in the living room of Malkin Sr.'s house and told Malkin Sr. and Polly about today's meeting with Austin Parker.

What Ludy didn't expect was that Old Malkin and Polly didn't show any concern after listening. .

"You...aren't you worried about this Otis Parker at all?"

Old Malkin smiled and shook his head: "Worry! So what can we do? Kill him?"

Polly patted her father and said, "I know this Odis Parker. I met him when I first met old Mr. Morgan~"

"At that time... he behaved quite normally. I didn't expect that he would do such... interesting things~"

"Interesting?" Ludy started to scratch his hair~

"Are you sure you understand what I just said? He is going to report to the FBI director!"

"Hey~ Ludy, calm down!"

"I understand, and I probably guessed Mr. Parker's intention~"

"It's just... that it's a little too direct for him to do this~"

Polly raised her hand, interrupting what Lu Di wanted to say, and then said: "Let's start with the fire case in the police station~"

"This fire has destroyed the family's criminal record. Hardman has fulfilled his promise!"

"If no one died in this fire, then this matter can basically be digested within the New York Police Department~"

"Ludy, can you understand this?"

"Oh~ I understand!"

"Then the question is: Why did our partner, Mr. Hardman, let this fire happen even though he knew police officers were going to die?"

"Ludy, have you ever thought about this question?"

"..No~"

"Haha~ I guess this is one of the reasons why Mr. Parker took the initiative to chat with the new FBI supervisor~"

"One? Are there others?"

"Of course~ Another important purpose of Mr. Parker is to let us and the supervisor know that the net in his hands has been laid in New York~"

"This network is intelligence and secret surveillance. It is also a deterrent and a manifestation of ability and strength!"

Polly adjusted her sitting position, and the smile on her lips grew thicker: "When I first met Mr. Parker, he was already identified by David and joined the team."

"So, this matter should be the result of some kind of tacit understanding or agreement between David and old Mr. Morgan!"

"Ludy, you just said that Odis Parker has always emphasized to you that he works for David, right?"

"Uh...yes!"

"He said the same thing to the FBI director, right?"

"..Yes!"

"Haha~ This is the end~!"

"End? End of what?" Lu Di became more and more confused as he listened. .

"Polly, I understand what you said~ But this doesn't mean that Odis Parker is truly on our side, right?"

"Yes Rudy~ Mr. Parker said he works for David~ Of course he can work for other people too!"

"But, for us, we don't need Mr. Parker to stand with us~"

"We just need to confirm the authenticity of the information he provided, and... make sure he is not on the opponent's side, and that's it!"

With a smile of relief and appreciation on his face, old Malkin raised his hand and touched his beard.

"Polly's right!"

"Otis Parker, if it's really like what you said, there must be a reason for him to do this that we can't guess now!"

"Ludy, you can't be completely certain about anything!"

"Before, when we faced cooperation, whether he was reliable was the most important thing to us~"

"But this cannot be applied to Otis Parker~"

"We are not old Mr. Morgan, we don't have the same control over Odis Parker~"

"So, we just need to make sure, like Polly said, that the information he provided is true and that he has not become the enemy's helper ~ that's enough!"

"After all, people like Austin Parker will not put all their chips on us!"

Ludy nodded slightly silently, knowing that he might have fallen into a certain misunderstanding after meeting Otis Parker. .

Polly's eyes flickered a few times, and she looked at her father and said, "I think it's better to tell David about this matter and let him handle it~"

"Well...should tell him!!"

"Okay~ I'll go find Lilith tomorrow!"

"Haha~ Let's go and rest now~ It's already very late!"

"Okay dad~"

Polly jumped up from the sofa quickly and hurried upstairs. .

Lu Di looked at Polly leaving, opened his mouth, thought about it a few more times, and finally chose to change the topic.

"I'm going to find Pine tomorrow. He's already prepared the 4000 million dollars in bonds that Miami Blanc needs!"

"Oh? Haha~ This is a good thing~"

"Before you go to Pine tomorrow morning, call Junior Soprano in New Jersey and tell him!"

"Ok~ Then I'll go back first!"

"Go~"

Old Malkin sent Ludy to the door, watched him get into the car and go away, took a deep breath, closed the door, walked to the sofa and sat down, looked at the phone, and began to be in a daze. .

After a few minutes.

He raised his head, glanced at the clock, pondered for a moment, picked up the phone, and dialed~

----

San Francisco.

Union Square Hilton Hotel.

Tonight's cocktail party officially reached its climax after the speeches of several people on the stage~

The guests formed countless small circles in twos and threes, chatting with new and old friends about work, current affairs, each other's lives, etc.

Giles and Leslie, who were in the corner of the venue, also apologized to David and started tonight's entertainment. .

David found a quiet corner for himself alone, drank the champagne in his hand, and looked around at the guests passing through the crowd. However, his mind was thinking about the afternoon meeting, Bank of America CEO Hammoy Chidney. Pu, that wonderful speech delivered by the credit card department manager of Citibank ~

credit card!

This payment method, which does not seem to be popular now, will gradually replace the payment status of personal account checks with the continuous development of technology.

It will become the most popular, favorite, most convenient and fastest payment method in the world, bar none!

Because David remembers very clearly that in the future, people in the United States will only have credit cards, cash, change, photos of relatives, etc. in their wallets.

With the gradual popularization of credit cards, they are flexible, convenient, safe, and have unparalleled advantages in global circulation.

Visa, this alliance organization that has just been established a few years ago, will also become a world-class electronic payment network group~

So. .Can David now make some arrangements in this regard and lay out plans in advance?

Um. .

Perhaps, this will be a big bargaining chip that allows David to obtain more resources!
