Manhattan Reborn 1978

a new day.

new York.

David opened his eyes drowsily and saw Susan beside him looking up at him with wide eyes.

"Well~ when did you come back?"

"When you were snoring the loudest last night~haha~"

"Am I snoring? Maybe I'm too tired~"

Susan smiled and touched the stubble on David's mouth with her hand: "Big Zach gave us gifts last night! Where is your gift?"

"Didn't you look for it yourself? They're all in the box!"

"Heh~ do you want me to look through your suitcase?"

David blinked, thought for a moment, and put his arm around Susan: "Of course~ you can look through all my things, except those diaries~"

"Wow~ Hahaha~ Then I really went!"

"Go and go~"

Susan jumped up from the bed wearing a little vest and shouted softly. .David asked in a voice he didn't understand, dragging the two boxes placed in the living room to the bedside in the bedroom.

David looked at Susan who was wearing a small vest, and waved to her with itch in his heart: "See you later!"

"Let's go first...hehehe~"

. . .

After a while.

Susan leaned into David's arms with a glowing face, and said with a chuckle: "Haha~ It seems that you have been very honest these days when you go to California~ Are there no beauties in California?"

"Of course not, there are beauties everywhere~"

"Then what do you...?"

David started doing it with a smile, lifted Susan's minibus with his hands, kissed her and said, "I'm not going to California this time just for fun!"

"Everyone's time and energy are limited. Now I don't have the leisure to have fun everywhere!"

Susan narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. .

David brushed his hands on Susan's neck, ears, and head, kissed her twice more, then got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.

"I'm going to take a shower first. I have a lot to do today and I might not come back until very late at night!"

"Well..." Susan lazily changed her posture, squinted her eyes, and buried her head into the pillow.

She knew in her heart that as David became more and more successful, he would come into contact with countless more outstanding women~

Perhaps, this happy time of eating alone may not last forever.

But now Susan is very dependent on and loves every moment around David~

. . .

After David took a shower.

While wiping his head, he walked back to the bedroom and found a notebook. He rummaged through it, picked up the phone, and made a call.

10 minute later.

David put down the phone, looked at the notebook in his hand, put it together with several others, and prepared to take them all with him today~

Another ten minutes later.

David walked out of the apartment dressed neatly.

In the corridor at the door of the apartment.

Black Mike, Giovanni, and Lavis were sitting against the wall next to the door, blowing smoke rings.

"Hey guys, why are you all here?"

The three bodyguards chuckled, and Ravis raised his eyebrows and said, "When we came here just now, we heard you were busy... so~hehe~"

"Then you eavesdropped at the door?"

"fxxx!"

"Are you perverted?"

The three bodyguards patted their butts and stood up. Black Mike continued: "You didn't notify us in advance when you came back. If Jin Ji hadn't gone back and told Giovanni last night, we wouldn't have known you were back!"

David patted Giovanni, shook his head and said with a smile: "The smog in Los Angeles made me change my schedule ~ I just didn't have breakfast, let's go together."

"Haha~ let's go! Marseille restaurant?"

"Haha ~ of course!"

----

Manhattan.

42th Street.

Alston's offices diagonally across from the Wildfire Bar.

Auston put his legs on the desk, holding coffee, reading the newspaper, and enjoying the relaxing moment in the morning~

"Clang clang clang~"

A knock on the door caught Auston's attention.

A young long-haired guy wearing a peaked cap pushed his head in and said loudly: "Hey guys, can someone come out to pick up the goods?"

"goods?"

A police officer who was also enjoying a moment of relaxation looked at Auston with a puzzled face.

Auston blinked his big black and white eyes, put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up, and said to the long-haired boy: "Do you have a list? Bring it to me~"

"Yes~ but you'd better come outside~"

"I can't go in, something will happen to the truck outside the door..."

Auston sneered, took the order from the long-haired guy, looked at it, walked out the door, looked at a dilapidated van, and frowned.

"Is this your truck? You... didn't say what was delivered on the list...?"

The long-haired boy smiled and glanced at the closed door. Under Auston's gaze, he slowly took out an envelope from his pocket and shrugged at Auston.

"You have received the letter, the truck, and the keys now ~ my mission is completed!"

"Let's go, buddy~"

Auston held an envelope and car keys in his hands, looked at the long-haired guy with a puzzled expression, turned around and quickly disappeared into the distance. .He shook his head helplessly.

He walked to the street, walked around the van, tore open the envelope in his hand, took out a piece of paper with a few lines on it, and read it.

"I'm sorry to have to contact you in this way~"

"The goods in the car are a gift from Miami!"

"I hope they can bring some comfort to the families of the informants who died accidentally on the street~"

Bottom right corner: gb

. . .

Auston frowned and looked through the letter again. There were only these few incomprehensible words on it. .

This is. .What's the meaning?

Auston glanced at the car key in his hand, glanced around again, thought about it, put the letter in his pocket, and used the key to open the side door of the van.

The door of the van was opened, and there were more than a dozen large bags neatly stacked in the van. .

Auston opened one of the bags curiously and checked it out. .

result. .He immediately zipped up the bag again, took a few deep breaths, and his eyes were full of surprise~

money!

A whole bag of rice knives!

Auston looked nervously to the left and right, and after making sure that no pedestrians were passing by, he quickly opened a few more bags. .And immediately zipped them up. .

This is ****!

Could it be. .Are these bags rice knives?

"fxxx!"

Auston cursed under his breath, took out the piece of paper and read it several times, and found the key point from these sentences.

Miami, street informant who died accidentally, comfort. .

This is. .Money for the security company?

From Miami?

Auston's thoughts changed rapidly. He put the letter away, closed and locked the car door, and prepared to go back to the office to call Ludy first. .

and many more!

Auston stopped at the door and put down his hand to push the door open.

I'm looking for Ludy at this time. I don't know if I can find him right away~

van. .And the goods inside, should we just leave them alone?

Auston looked back at the van, lowered his head and thought for a while, then walked to the driver's side of the car, opened the door and got in, ready to drive to New Jersey~

This is something scarier than a bomb. .

Let’s leave the headache to the security company~

. . .

Just as Auston started the car and slowly drove away from 42nd Street.

The middle-aged man who had been observing everything in the dark in the distance put down the telescope in his hand and let out a long breath.

He nodded to the people following him.

The man smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "It's settled, I'll go back to Miami later~"

"Blanco will contact you again for follow-up arrangements in New York~"

"ok~"

finally. .Get rid of this big trouble!

----

Los Angeles.

In Bloomer's mansion.

Giles, Bloomer, and Leslie were saying goodbye to Butler Peart with a smile. They got into the car and were about to board the yacht that Leslie borrowed and go out to sea~

At the door of the big house, Butler Peart stood upright, watching the car drive away from the yard, then looked up at the clear sky for a while, shook his head and smiled.

David returned to New York yesterday, and the smog in Los Angeles has cleared today. .

Sure enough, just as he expected.

After reading the letter he left, the three of them sighed for a while, and then they high-fived each other, cheered loudly, and hugged happily. .

Butler Peart has always been a little confused as to why Lilith is here and puts so much pressure on the three of them. . ?

. . .

If you can’t figure it out and can’t get the answer, why bother thinking about it?

Butler Peart looked toward the northeast and murmured with a smile: "I hope good luck will always be with you, David!"

----

upstate New York.

Yonkers.

Laura sat in the car, looking towards Manhattan in the distance with excitement on her face.

Lilith, here I come!

----

Boston.

In the Morgan family's estate.

First floor, living room.

Old Morgan was sitting on the sofa, holding a microphone and talking to Seamus.

"You're in Washington?"

"Just arrived~"

"How about it?"

"Today, the bipartisan committee will have a meeting, and there may be a result at noon."

"Hmm...Who did you have an appointment with this morning?"

"I haven't made an appointment yet~ But... I want to go to Georgetown University and meet Henry Kissinger~"

Old Morgan frowned and pondered for a moment: "Where's David? Have you told him about it?"

"As I said, we met and talked when we went to New York~"

"How did he say?"

"Haha~ What do you think?"

"...Avoid talking about it?"

"Bingoo! That's right!"

"David is very shrewd. It's almost impossible to get some positive answers from him!"

"So... what are you going to talk to Kissinger about? Can he be used by us?"

"No~ Everything is possible! Isn't it? Haha~"

"...Okay~ Let's call again at 09:30 in the evening, I will wait for you!"

"Ok ~ See you tonight!"

. . .

After putting down the phone, Old Morgan rubbed his temples with his hands and began to think.

The increasingly bad situation in Iran was really explained by David!

King Pahlavi, who is somewhat unclear-minded, changed the members of the government cabinet in August this year and announced the imposition of military control on 12 major cities including the capital Tehran.

In the past two months, the political situation in Iran has been completely out of control. Factories have stopped production on a large scale, most transportation has been interrupted, students have gone on strike, and businessmen have closed their shops and taken to the streets, following the crowd to demonstrate against the government. .

Nearly [-] more demonstrators were killed by military police on the streets. .

The dissatisfaction and resentment of the people are accumulating and rising as the conflict intensifies!

Judging from the information coming back from there now, it should only be a matter of time before the final explosion of public sentiment!

The oil industry, as Iran's main source of export revenue, is about to fall into a complete shutdown due to the deteriorating situation.

The second oil crisis!

It's really coming!

. . .

Old Morgan stood up, poured himself another cup of hot coffee, took a sip, and remembered the call he received in the morning, with a smile on his lips.

The oil crisis may, in David's view, be an opportunity to speculate and make a lot of money.

But for old Morgan, who still has many ideas and plans that have not been realized, it is a huge opportunity!

Ever since Morgan Sr. first received a call from Pine, learned about David's prediction, and met and talked with David for the first time.

In the following nearly half a month, Old Morgan used all his connections and resources to implement the boldest, most adventurous, and possibly the most rewarding plan in his life~

This plan is a big gamble for old Morgan!

First, he realized and raised a large amount of funds in a short period of time through mortgage, replacement, borrowing, bond issuance, financing and other financial means, and quietly purchased nearly 3000 million barrels of oil spot from the international oil market. .

He then mortgaged part of his oil spot and invested the funds in Panaris' newly established hedge fund.

Prepare to establish long-term long positions in the international gold futures market, oil futures market, precious metal futures market and other markets.

Moreover, he also united with some family insiders, allies, and partner families to establish a large number of futures investment accounts in Chicago, London, Tokyo and other places, preparing to disperse the funds into several major financial markets in the world. Invest, buy, and go long.

In this way, this huge amount of funds that enter the market in a low-key manner can complete the layout, investment and establishment of positions in all futures markets before the end of the year.

Get more leverage from the international oil prices that will continue to rise due to the greed of OPEC members.

The United States, as the world's largest oil consumer, is also one of the largest oil importers.

Its dependence on oil is staggering!

Old Morgan can now predict what kind of bargaining chip the oil spot he can control will be in the next two years.

. . .

Old Morgan, who had just drank half a cup of coffee, suddenly remembered JP Morgan whom he had talked about when he met David in New York!

JP Morgan, his first big bet was coffee beans~

He made his first pot of gold from the unsalable coffee beans in New Orleans.

And how is his experience different from the old Morgan's plan today?

Perhaps the biggest difference. .

It’s just old Morgan who has David’s predictions and reminders~

J.P. Morgan, who was still very young at the time, relied on his amazing business talent and keen market sense to grit his teeth and make a huge gamble.

Today's old Morgan, after learning David's reminder, has much more connections and resources to utilize than the young JP Morgan~

but. .

JP Morgan earned his first pot of gold in that big gamble.

What Morgan Sr. earned from this big gamble was the future of the entire family~

----

new York.

Morgan Stanley.

David entered the building with three bodyguards.

Black Mike waved his hands to several people and winked: "When you leave, do you know where to find me?"

David couldn't help it, he went up and gave him a kick, laughing and scolding: "Get out! Don't let me see you again!"

"Hahaha~"

Black Mike patted his butt, gave David a middle finger, and happily went to find his girlfriend who was a clerk working here. .

Elevator entrance.

David squinted, stared at Lavis, and said jokingly: "I changed the itinerary temporarily. Will it delay your rest time? Where is your single mother?"

Lavis smiled proudly and said: "She is busy decorating and choosing furniture!"

"Renovation? Are you going to live together?"

"Of course~ I have already chosen an apartment above the Wildfire Bar~ I'm going to move in when I'm done with my busy days these days!"

"Oh? Those apartments... are they habitable?"

"Haha~ In fact, it has been habitable for a long time~"

"The decoration team arranged by Polly only renovated the water, electricity, heating and other basic facilities in all rooms."

"I just repainted all the walls and replaced the floors with new ones - it's very simple!"

After hearing this, David looked back at Giovanni.

Giovanni smiled and pulled David into the open elevator, and continued: "Jin Ji and I also chose a room and plan to move in tomorrow or the day after tomorrow~"

"Then...where are the others?"

"That guy Mike Bai has been everywhere these days, and we haven't even seen him~"

“When we were chatting just now, Black Mike said that he wanted to ask his girlfriend’s opinion before deciding whether to move~”

"Um...what about the people in the bar?"

The second brother Lavis and the third brother Giovanni rolled their eyes in unison at the same time: "Ask yourself, you bastard!"

"We are bodyguards, bodyguards! Do you understand?"

"Yes, we are not your secretaries!"

David tilted his head, opened his mouth, pointed at the two confident people with his hand, held it in for a long time, and then said something when the elevator door opened. .

"I don't care about the others, the rent for both of you will be doubled! Hehe~"

"what?"

"fxxx!"

"Hey~ What are you doing? This is... Wow~ Don't move anywhere!"

"Quick, cover his mouth~"

"Hahaha, look at my move!"

. . .

Stanley fourth floor.

Because David was temporarily stupid and bad-mouthed, his second brother and third brother teamed up to fix him up. .

After finishing repairing David, the two of them walked up to the elevator with refreshed expressions and left. .

David, who kept slapping himself in the mouth and secretly cursing others, walked towards his first company alone with his head drooped.

Fuller Fund Company.

. . .

When David pushed the door open and walked into the company.

Sam Rogers was sitting behind his desk, relaxingly drinking a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper.

Leon Hoffman was writing and drawing with his head down, not knowing what he was busy with. .

Yuri Orlov was sitting by the window holding a folder in his hand, looking at the documents as if he was half asleep. .

Tsk. .

David sighed in his heart, these are his management employees~. .

Sam and others looked at the door when they heard the sound of the doorkeeper.

Leon, who reacted the fastest, stood up excitedly and said loudly: "Boss, good morning!"

"When did you come back?"

David, who was startled by Leon's voice, raised his hand and loosened his tie, waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just came back last night, what are you busy with? Keep busy~"

He turned around and said to Sam who was coming towards him with a smile: "Hi Sam!"

"How do I see our finances, Erwin?"

"Erwin was called by Mr. Pine~ He should be back soon~"

"Oh...how is the company lately?"

"Everything is on track, your office has been sorted~ Shall we go take a look now?"

David smiled and nodded, followed Sam, walked into his office, and looked around. It was a very simple and practical layout. .

"Hmm...very good~"

Sam smiled and said: "The flower stand in the window is the gift we prepared for you!"

"Haha~ Thanks man!"

"Come on, sit down quickly and tell me what's going on in the company these days."

"In the company..."

At the door, a somewhat nervous Yuri poked his head in, saw David and Sam chatting, and pulled his head back.

Leon, who was holding coffee in his hand, was about to send it in. When he saw Yuri's appearance, he laughed softly: "You will send them in?"

"Uh..Okay! Thank you man!"

Leon handed over the coffee pot, waved his hand, turned and left.

Yuri lowered his head and checked his clothes, took two deep breaths, and walked into David's office. .

David saw the somewhat cautious Yuri walking in, put down his coffee, and joked with him with a smile.

"Books and materials on economics and finance are boring, right?"

"When I read these things, I became sleepier and sleepier~"

"But later, after I found fun in this knowledge, I never felt sleepy again~hahaha~"

Yuri glanced at the smiling Sam and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have been reading the information Sam prepared for me these past two days~"

“They are not boring like financial books~”

David smiled and looked at Sam: "Do you have any friends in the exchange?"

"..Yes~"

"Then find some time and take Yuri there a few more times!"

"Yuri, many of the traders in the exchange do not have a high degree of education, let alone much education~"

"But they can rely on their rich trading experience to complete the orders placed by their customers ~ Do you understand?"

"Do I want... to learn to be a trader?"

"Hahaha~ No, Yuri!"

“You need to know what traders do and what role they play in the market.”

"These will be of great help to your future work!"

"Um...Boss, I would like to ask, what kind of work do you plan to arrange for me in the future?"

David spread his hands and said, "Do what you think you are best at!"

"This is Wall Street!"

"Stocks, futures, bonds, trading, analysis, management and more."

"There must be a job that suits you, it's just that you haven't discovered it yet~"

Yuri nodded with gain, muttering in his mind what David said. .

Sam smiled and joked: "Yuri, you learn things very quickly, but you're just a little impatient~"

"Is it...are you bragging to your girlfriend again? Haha~"

"...No~ I just..."

"Girlfriend?...Ava Fangtian?"

"Um...yes~"

"Wow~ You are already in a relationship?"

"Forget it... right~" Yuri shrugged, with a general expression on his face. .It's such an expression. .

David thought about it with great interest and said, "Let's do this. After our company's funds are in place, we will take out some for you to practice with."

"As long as you can use them to make the first profit for the company, I will give you a promotion and a salary increase!"

"At that time, you can truly confess your love to Ava Fangtian~"

Sam raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Yuri with some jealousy.

Yuri's eyes widened in surprise: "Are you... not joking?"

"Hahaha~ Is this a joke?"

"However, I have to remind you to be careful!"

“On Wall Street, few people can make money on their first investment~”

"So, if you lose money...the loss will be deducted from your future salary."

"How about it, Yuri? Do you want to do it or not?"

Yuri lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded fiercely: "Do it!"

"it is good!"

"Sam's here too, so it's settled!"

Yuri was so nervous and excited that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he smiled and said: "Then I... will look for investment projects now!"

"Go~"

Yuri left in a rage.

Sam opened his mouth but held back and said nothing.

David put the bag he brought on the desk and said to Sam, "We all work so hard for something~"

"Yuri is pursuing Ava Fangda."

"You want to give your family a better life~"

"As for me...in order to complete my plan and gain a place on Wall Street~"

"So, we all need to keep running forward, right?"

Sam tilted his head and agreed: "That's true~"

"Then...are we going to run for a while today?"

"Haha~ Not for now, I need to sort out my plans first~"

David took out the notebook he used to record the meeting in the San Francisco hotel from his notebook, thought about it and said.

"Can you contact Otis Parker?"

"...It should be okay~"

"Then go find him. I want to meet and talk with him~"

"Okay~ I'll go right away!"

Sam stood up and as he walked to the door, he slapped his forehead and thought of the other person.

"David, that... Bernard Madoff came to the company to see you, I almost forgot!"

"Oh...I know~Did he leave his contact information?"

"I kept it. I have a business card."

David rubbed his chin with his fingers, pondered for a moment and said, "Then please ask him to come over at noon, if possible~"

"Ok!"

Sam responded and walked out of the office.

David thought in his mind that he could probably guess some of Madoff's intentions for his visit.

I just don’t know what kind of decision he can make~

Will he give up on that Ponzi scheme?

----

Manhattan.

The Metropolitan Club at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and East 60th Street.

Panaris was sitting in the independent living room on the second floor, chatting with the invited guest, the famous American mathematician James Hitmons.

This mathematician, James Hitmons, who had just decided to cross over and join Wall Street to establish a fund company, was scratching his head and puzzled for a while after receiving the invitation from Panaris. .

He didn't understand, how could the Morgan family notice him, a newcomer on Wall Street?

Is it. .

Before accepting the invitation to come here, Hitmons imagined various possibilities ~

But he never expected that. .Panaris took the initiative to offer him a job offer~

Chief Investment Advisor of the newly established Northern Hedge Fund Corporation (nrn)!
