Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

Stanley fourth floor.

After David proposed the idea of ​​establishing a commercial investigation company to Mr. Otis Parker in his office, Mr. Parker considered it and agreed.

"Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say~"

"However, I know how to set up an intelligence network..."

David played with the pen in his hand and waved his hand: "The new commercial investigation company we want to establish will not have any intersection with our intelligence network!"

"Even... when the commercial investigation company encountered some information that was not easy to obtain during its work and needed help, it had some intersections, transactions, and cooperation with our intelligence network~"

"Then it's just an unconventional means used by commercial investigation companies to fulfill customers' needs~"

Mr. Parker smiled and nodded: "Intelligence network, you can find a dedicated person to be responsible for the management and daily operation~"

"I will be responsible for setting up the commercial investigation company and soliciting business for the company~"

"No~ Mr. Parker, I have some work on hand that needs to be investigated. It can be a great gift for the opening of our new company!"

"Oh? What is it?"

David lowered his head and rummaged around on his desk and in his bag. He found that he might have forgotten it at home, so he could only spread his hands.

"Okay, maybe I forgot~"

"A few days ago, I promised to work out a plan for Seamus on the investment and transformation of their family's industry~"

"Grace helped me find some information I needed in the early stage, but it was far from enough~"

"I think you are professional in this area and can help me conduct a survey on the current operating status of the existing air transportation and shipping companies."

"And after experiencing the last oil crisis, whether these companies have adequate preparations and response strategies to experience another oil crisis."

When David said this, he smiled and spread his hands: "As you can see, I only have a few people here. To complete such a large amount of investigation work, the oil crisis may be over."

Mr. Parker smiled and shrugged: "Collect the operating status and some information of these companies, and my people can give you a result very quickly~"

"But... the analysis behind this information can only be done by yourself~"

"Okay! You don't have to worry about the subsequent analysis work~"

David took out his checkbook from his pocket, wrote a check for one hundred thousand dollars, and handed it to Mr. Parker: "It is the cost of this investigation~"

"Okay ~ I will give you the cost list together with the investigation report."

"Then... let me move on to the next topic~"

"Mr. Parker, you should understand that business investigations are often unpleasant jobs."

"So, I want this commercial investigation company to reach a cooperative relationship with the security company!"

"Every time investigators need to go to some more dangerous places or deal with more dangerous situations, the soldiers of the security company can help your men solve problems and protect them~"

"Hahaha~ David, I can guess what's going on behind your back!"

"Having soldiers serve as bodyguards for my investigators... How did you come up with this?"

"Haha~ There are specialties in the art~"

"The soldiers are responsible for security and the investigators are responsible for information collection. What a combination!"

"Don't tell me that your investigators are retired elites from CIA and other intelligence agencies~"

Mr. Parker shook his head and said: "Those bastards in CIA are not as good as my old friends!"

"Haha~ So... you agree?"

Mr. Parker put away his smile and leaned back in a relaxed manner: "I need to go and see these professionals from the security company in person~"

"No problem, Polly will introduce you to Lieutenant Lawrence, the person in charge of the training base~"

"I believe those guys from the security company, you will be satisfied!"

"Hehe~"

Mr. Parker turned his head and extended his right hand to Polly: "It's an honor to cooperate with you~ Can we meet at a certain time?"

Polly had a calm expression on her face: "Thank you! ~ I will wait for you in the office with Lawrence ~ You know my office phone number, right?"

"Yes, I will call you tomorrow morning after you go to work~"

"Ok~"

David watched the polite conversation between the two and couldn't help but close his eyes and cover his forehead. .

"Parker, do you know why you can't mess with women?"

Mr. Parker smiled, shook his head, and said nothing.

Polly raised her head grandly on the side: "What? You still want to..."

"No! I didn't~"

"Haha~ Let's have dinner together later."

"After dinner, how about we go to a concert...?"

Polly rolled her eyes and closed her mouth.

Lilith smiled and continued: "Do you need me to book tickets in advance?"

"Of course it is!"

"ok~"

Lilith reached out and picked up the phone to contact him about booking tickets.

David winked at Mr. Parker: "Dinner..."

"There won't be dinner today, let's go together tomorrow night~"

"if you do not have.."

"No, let's go! I'll see you off!"

Mr. Parker stood up, nodded to Lilith and Polly with gentle bows, and walked out of the office with David.

. . .

The two of them left the office. David took Mr. Parker and did not go to the elevator. Instead, he found an empty stairwell and stopped.

"Parker, Cohen from Da Security Company, you know everything they did in Miami, right?"

"Hmm. ~ Do you want me to investigate the soldiers who are coming to New York? Or do you want to ask me what to do with Griselda Blanco?"

David was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You have guessed it all!"

Mr. Parker walked to the stairs, looked up and down, shook his head and smiled: "Those soldiers who are coming to New York... Is this why you arranged for me to cooperate with Polly?"

David couldn't help but sigh: "If we were in a movie, you would definitely be the smartest character!"

"Parker, Cohen brought back too many people this time!"

"We need to find out whether all of these people are trustworthy~ The security company must not cause big troubles because of some individual reasons!"

"As for Blanco... I want to contact her!"

"After all, she spent the [-] million dollars. As the boss of the security company, I benefited the most. If I didn't say a word..."

Mr. Parker shook his head slightly: "You don't have to come forward in this matter. Keep it mysterious... Only then can she feel that the investment is worth it~"

"I will find someone to ask her to come to New York and meet and talk with her in person~"

"Ok!"

"There are two more things I want to ask you for help~"

"Hahaha~ It seems that you had planned our meeting today?"

"Well... not really, it's just that I've encountered too many things recently and I don't have the right people to help investigate~"

"Hmm... tell me~"

"I want to know who is there who has been thinking about the Sidrich family property!"

"Oh? Are you afraid that something unexpected will happen to your family's cooperation with Seamus?"

"Yes~"

"Haha~ It seems that you are really confident about the future prospects of Manhattan's real estate~"

"Of course! You don't think I'm just using it as an excuse to deceive the Sidrich family, do you?"

"Okay... is this the only one?"

"Also, I need to investigate the president of Princeton University, Guy Luther!"

"Him? Why do you want to..."

"Because ever since I met him, Principal Luther, in San Francisco... I always felt that something was not right about him!"

"..Feel?"

"Yes, it's just a feeling~"

"Principal Luther once told me that this year's fundraising work for the school was not going well~"

"When Panaris and I were in San Francisco, we visited Louis Rockefeller, who was an alumnus of Princeton University~"

"That's why I wonder, would Principal Luther ignore a super rich man like Lewis?"

Mr. Parker opened his mouth and smiled helplessly: "Is that why?"

"Yes~"

"Haha~ Do you have a misunderstanding about Luther's fundraising work?"

“For a job like his to solicit donations for schools, it’s rare to receive more than $10 in donations~”

"As a member of the Rockefeller family, Lewis can only donate up to $10 to the university as a rule~"

David then suddenly realized: "Oh~ So that's it~"

"Then... I misunderstood Principal Luther~! Hahaha~"

"Okay! It's really okay this time. Let's see you tomorrow night?"

"Haha~ Okay!" Mr. Parker nodded in agreement, but reached out and grabbed David who was about to leave.

"David, you can invest Bernard Madoff's money with peace of mind. I will keep an eye on him in the future."

"...Well, thank you! I will talk to him tomorrow."

"Also, the fact that I am a Freemason..."

"Don't worry, I understand!"

"Even though I can't stand some Freemasons who only do stupid things without thinking~"

"But Parker, you are a smart person, and I think you can be trusted~"

"so.."

"No, David! Sometimes, only the smartest people do things that seem stupid to ordinary people~"

"I did the same stupid things when I was young!"

"In this regard, God is fair~"

David looked at Mr. Parker in surprise: "I... It's hard to imagine what you were like when you did stupid things before~"

"But... you're right~"

"Ever since I was a kid, I always thought I was smart and did stupid things, hahaha~"

"Okay, let's go, Parker~"

"I don't want to wait a while and have to look down upon them both~"

David walked Mr. Parker to the elevator door.

Mr. Parker hesitated for a moment, smiled and shook his head: "I'm curious, how did you let Polly, Susan, Lilith, Miranla and others... live in peace?"

David rolled his eyes angrily: "It's very simple! Give them more space and freedom~"

“Let them do what they really want to do and live the life they really want~”

"And give them more respect, patiently listen to all their voices, and give them more advice and support~"

"that's all?"

"Yeah~ Women, in many cases, it's that simple!"

"Then...is there no exception? Or..."

"Wow~ Mr. Parker, you're not falling in love with some lucky lady, are you?"

"Ahem~ Well...the elevator is here. Let's see you tomorrow, David!"

Mr. Parker is gone.

David stood at the elevator entrance, watching the door slowly close, and finally resisted his urge to get to the bottom of it. .

Who hasn’t ordered a silly love story yet?

hehe~

Manhattan area.

66th Street, FBI headquarters.

Harold Stone was sitting behind his desk, looking at several letters on the table, gritting his teeth. .

The phone rang suddenly.

"Hello~"

"Hi Mr. Stone?"

"I am~"

"Hello, I'm Ezra Claymore~!"

"...Have you been transferred to New York?"

"Yes, we met in Langley the year before last~"

"Haha~ Did you get a promotion when you came to New York?"

"Yes, I will be in charge of all CIA affairs in New York in the near future!"

"Everything? Haha~ Claymo, you called me just to tell me that you are here?"

"No~Mr. Stone, I want to meet you sometime!"

"Meeting... for what? We seem to have just met and heard about each other, right?"

"Haha~ This phone is a secure phone, so... we don't need to go around in circles~ Okay, Mr. Stone!"

"Oh ~ safe phone ~ tell me when we can meet!"

"...How about tomorrow night?"

"No, tomorrow morning! I'll wait for you in the office!"

"..ok~I'll be there on time tomorrow morning!"

"that is it!"

After putting down the phone, the two people who just called couldn't help but curse: fxxx!

----

New Jersey.

The training base of the security company.

The big man Zach, who had just been assigned by David to follow him for training, was looking depressed at the soldiers not far away doing their daily physical recovery training.

Beside him, the jackal spit out the cigarette butt from his mouth with a wicked smile and patted it. .Big Zach's elbow, laughed.

"As long as there is no news from New York, you can just practice here with peace of mind~"

"Boy, this is a good thing!"

"Look at the entire training base. How many people do David know and know by name?"

"How many more people did he arrange to come in and join in the training?"

"You must be fucking lucky, kid!"

The big man Zach looked towards the lower right corner, squinted at the little jackal who was gloating about his misfortune, and said in a dull voice.

"Here...is the cafeteria full?"

"Uh...hahahaha~"

"I fucking xxxx! Hahaha~"

Jackal finally understood why Cohen was smiling so much after answering the phone. .So cheap!

This big guy Zach is definitely a unique kid~

"Haha~cough cough~fxxx!"

"You kid, stop talking~ I'm almost laughing to death~ Hahaha~"

The big man Zach lowered his head and patted his big belly with his hand rather reluctantly. .

I also remembered the expressions on the faces of several of Bloomer's bodyguards watching me eat when I was having a BBQ on Santa Monica Beach in Los Angeles that night. .

"Jackal, where do I have to go to get their clothes?"

"Ahem~ Haha~ There is no size you can wear here~"

"Wait...wait for Lawrence and the others to buy it for you!"

"Oh.."

Big Zach doesn't think it's a good thing that he comes here to participate in training!

But he understood what the jackal said~

He was lucky enough to find a stable job at the Wildfire Bar through Giovanni~

I was even more lucky to meet David and follow him on a trip to California.

That's right~

David's trip to California, in the eyes of big man Zach, is travel. .

new York.

The Queen.

Old Malkin sat in his study, pondered for a while, then picked up the phone and made a call.

"Hello~"

"Hey ~ is it Meyer? It's me, old Malkin!"

"Oh...haha~ Man, why did you remember to call me? Is it possible that you want to come to Florida to see me?"

"Haha~ You old guy, what can I see? I want to find out some information from you~"

"Situation? Miami?"

"Nonsense! Do I need to ask you if you're from New York?"

"Wow wow wow~ Why are you so old and still have such a hot temper? Haha~"

"...Is it convenient for you to talk?"

"Of course... it's inconvenient! Someone here has already found a bug in the phone~ What do you think!?"

"...Okay~ When you go find a phone outside, we can continue chatting. Just call this number at my home~"

"Uh... That's it~Teleki, do you remember?"

"That...your big hand?"

"Yes, that's him! He's in New Jersey, not far from you. If you have any questions, you can ask him!"

"...Okay! Just ask him to call me at this number~"

"Okay~ It's dead!"

"and many more!"

"Are you going to stay in that ungrateful place in Florida forever?"

"Haha~ Isn't it annoying that you ask this question every time you call me?"

"Why am I fucking asking, don't you fucking know?"

"..."

"Okay~ Remember to ask Teraiji to call me quickly, I'll be waiting!"

Old Malkin put down the microphone heavily, leaned back, and leaned back in his chair.

Meyer Lansky.

He was once Malkin's best friend, just like David Sr.
