Manhattan Reborn 1978

California.

Los Angeles International Airport.

Roland Perkins of Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and Peart, the butler of Bloomer's mansion, sat together and waited for the boarding announcement~

It was a coincidence that the two of them came together to go to New York. .

David once discussed investing in the movie "The Godfather" with Francis Coppola and Mario Puzo in front of Roland.

Roland Perkins, as an excellent Hollywood actor agent, his unique business sense made him greatly interested in the opportunity to adapt "The Godfather", the best-selling novel in the past few years, into a movie. Interest~

The style of seizing every available opportunity drove Roland Perkins to run towards Blumer's mansion for the past two days. .I became familiar with Butler Peart. .

Moreover, both Coppola and Mario once told David that Roland was also present when the budget of this film was not high. .

Later, after leaving Bloomer's mansion, Roland also bought the novel "The Godfather" and read it again. He found that there were dozens of characters with names, surnames and lines in the book, large and small. So many. .

This is an opportunity, a huge opportunity!

If the actors of CAA, where he works, can compete for an important role in "The Godfather", it will definitely improve the company's current situation, and it will also make those young people who are full of complaints but dare not speak out in front of the company's management Actors, have a chance to show themselves ~

In today's Hollywood, it seems like there are a lot of movies produced every year, but there are very few that can really give unknown actors a chance to get ahead~

This prompted him to learn that Coppola and Mario Puzo had negotiated a cooperation with Paramount and returned to New York, so he also went to New York to win roles~

. . .

As for why Butler Peart went to New York~

The reason is also very simple ~

Walton Sr. called and said that Bloomer would stay in New York for a long time in the future.

In the past few years, Bloomer went to college and lived on campus without anyone arranged by his family to follow him. .

Now, after graduating from Harvard, Bloomer has found what he wants to do and has made some friends that Wharton Sr. recognizes. If he wants to live in New York permanently, his family needs to send a reliable person to accompany him and accompany him. ~

This person, Butler Peart, is of course the perfect choice!

Moreover, Butler Peart was also very happy after receiving a call from Old Wharton and learning that he was going to New York to be with Blumer. .

His hometown is in a small town in Connecticut, not far north of New York~

His alma mater is Yale University. .

As a real northerner in the United States, he has been living in California for many years, and he has been somewhat uncomfortable. .

In addition, as Butler Peart grows older, he misses his hometown and relatives more and more. .

Therefore, on this trip to New York, Butler Peart brought all his belongings and favorite things.

After spending a few years with Master Bloomer in New York, he planned to resign and return to his hometown, live in his old house, sit by the fireplace that was engraved in his childhood memories, with a blanket on his legs and his ears Listening to old vinyl records playing on the gramophone. .

This scene made Butler Peart feel a little moved when he thought about it. .Mesmerized ~

He didn't know if it was because he heard what David once said about retirement that he had the idea of ​​going home~

but. .None of this matters anymore~

If he finds what he wants, he will work hard for it!

. . .

in the airport.

Butler Peart, well-dressed, sat in a chair with a smile on his face, looking at a mother not far away teasing her little daughter. .

The little girl's clear laughter and the happy smile on the mother's face made Peart enjoy watching them. .

It’s time for him to think about the other half of his future life~

Roland Perkins arranged the briefcase in his hand, raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and turned to Butler Peart.

"New York in October... It's already autumn, right?"

"I didn't bring any special warm clothes. Can I buy some here?"

Butler Peart shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "You shouldn't ask me this question. The airport security guard over there should be someone who knows the answer~"

"Um..Okay~"

"Our plane will take off in about 20 minutes, so I'll go for a walk first and get some thicker clothes~"

"Haha~ Go ahead!"

Roland Perkins, who was only wearing a coat and short-sleeved shirts, stood up and looked at the airport security guard who was approaching from a distance, then walked over.

new York.

Stanley fourth floor.

David and Bloomer were in their office. After joking for a while, the two walked out of the office together~

Outside the office, lawyer George and accountant Olina, who had not yet left, were chatting with Sam Rogers about establishing a new company.

When David saw this, he abandoned Bloomer and ran over to share some of his thoughts with a few people~

"Our fund company is still very small in scale, and the departmental organizational structure can be made simpler for the time being~"

"When we gradually develop and grow, we will follow George and Olena's ideas to implement indirect cross-controlling of all our subsidiaries and the parent company to complete a large-scale group corporate structure~"

George, Olina, and Sam looked at each other, and George smiled and asked: "What about the real estate development company?"

"The company structure plan given by Mr. Norton's team requires you to establish several new companies and participate together."

David crossed his arms and thought for a moment: "Since they have proposed this plan, think about it... This should be what Seamus meant~"

"Let's do this~"

"According to what we talked about before, completely isolate this fund company from the real estate development company and the new company that needs to be established~"

"Let them run as two parallel lines without any connection~"

"Do you think this method is feasible?"

Lawyer George nodded slightly and looked at Accountant Olina~

Olina thought about it seriously, shook her head slightly and said: "It's feasible... It's feasible~"

"However, from the perspective of a professional accountant, I still think it is best for you to first establish a parent company under your own name to participate in the real estate development company's equity participation."

"After all, this is a three-party cooperation business~"

"Although, as the fourth party, you only hold a small proportion of shares in it, your role cannot be ignored by the other three parties~"

"Only if you truly follow the suggestions we give you and establish a multiple, multi-level corporate structure system can you ensure that you can better protect your assets when you encounter certain unexpected situations in your cooperation with other three parties. Personal assets and interests~”

After listening, David sat silently on the chair that Sam brought for him, looked back at Bloomer who came over and asked.

"what is your opinion?"

"Haha~ What's there to consider?"

“Professional matters should be left to professionals!”

"If you give random orders here, you will only be the one who suffers in the end!"

David smacked his lips, smiled bitterly and said: "Tsk~Okay! Just go with your plan~ Just tell me what you need me to do in advance~"

Attorney George nodded to Blumer, expressed his gratitude, and continued: "These things are trivial on Wall Street~"

"All I need is that you take some time, run a few times with me, and sign a few names and that's it~"

Olina also took over: "Your mortgage loan for the Wildfire Bar is best transferred from this fund company first~"

"Wait until all companies are established, and then allocate it back in the name of investment~"

"By doing this, I will have more room to maneuver during next year's tax filing season to help you avoid taxes properly~"

"okok~Brummer is right! I listen to you~haha~"

"So...how do you plan your lunch? We happen to be going to Chinatown to have something to eat, so come together!"

"Haha~ No, we still have a lot of work to do~ Next time!"

"Um...Okay! Next time I invite everyone to go to the Blue Crystal Hotel, eat the best steak, and drink the California red wine brought by Bloomer~"

"Hahaha~ It's a deal!"

After several people laughed and chatted for a while, Riley led his cousin Bob back.

Seeing that there was no difference in their expressions, David smiled and said to Bob: "No matter what Leslie said to you, you can't resign, do you understand?"

Bob glanced at Bloomer, smiled and nodded, "Don't worry David, I won't give up this opportunity!"

"Haha~ok! Leslie, let's go?"

"Um.."

"Hey~ Bloomer, why don't you hurry up? Didn't you just complain that you were hungry?"

"fxxx! Here we come~"

Manhattan area.

66th Street, FBI headquarters, New York.

Director Harold Stone sat in his office and put down the phone.

He fell back in his chair, rubbing his forehead with his hands while cursing under his breath. .

"These fucking bitches!"

"The CIA is like shit. She always comes up with some dirty ideas and makes people suffer along with them."

Just now, an FBI deputy director from the Washington headquarters personally called Harold Stone and told Harold Stone about the secrecy and importance of this cooperation with the CIA. .

Logically speaking, the CIA's operation was classified as top secret and would not interact with the FBI department in New York at all. .

But in fact, these two U.S. government agencies, which have always been scornful in the eyes of outsiders, have cooperated secretly a lot~

Among them, the monitoring and surveillance work of various countries' embassies in the United States is completed by the cooperation of several domestic intelligence agencies. .

These departments include the CIA, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the National Security Agency (NSA), the FBI Directorate of Intelligence, and the Office of Intelligence and Analysis under the Department of Homeland Security. .

In the division of responsibilities of these intelligence agencies, the FBI needs to report to its immediate boss, the Attorney General of the United States, and the Central Security Bureau newly established by the Department of Defense this year.

As the FBI is in charge of domestic intelligence and law enforcement agencies, its scope can be divided into two aspects~

Judicial aspect: It must exercise legal powers in the United States, protect and enforce U.S. criminal laws, monitor the U.S. judicial system, handle various major criminal cases, participate in supervision, investigation, and cracking of cases, etc.

In terms of intelligence: It must protect the United States from various attacks, and it also has its own preventive responsibilities in preventing foreign espionage activities.

In addition, the FBI Headquarters Intelligence Division needs to monitor the list of dangerous persons listed in the government intelligence department all year round in the country~

And will also participate in some interrogations and investigations of so-called personnel with "high intelligence value". .

Therefore, in the work of the FBI, there is often a certain overlap and overlap with that of the CIA, and therefore some work conflicts in terms of responsibilities often occur. .

That. . What about cia?

CIA is the only completely independent intelligence agency among more than a dozen intelligence agencies in the United States!

Its main responsibility is to collect, analyze, and evaluate intelligence collected from foreign countries through various channels, and to use it to assist high-level government officials in making certain decisions related to national security. .

When they discover certain threats from foreign countries ~

They will use various means to find and collect solutions to problems~

Of course, one of the usual methods used by the CIA in its work is to use spies to obtain various confidential information, and the direction of its work is mainly towards foreign countries. .

Within its scope of authority, it will come up with all kinds of staggering, speechless, contemptuous, and horrifying action plans to carry out espionage activities to obtain intelligence. .

In this era of bipolar opposition in the world, the main work content of the CIA, in addition to the collection of confidential intelligence, is more inclined to disrupt, subvert, assassinate, alienate, monitor and monitor other work contents. .

So. .Why did the CIA specifically inform the FBI about some top-secret action plans?

That's because according to the scope of their powers, FBI agents can reasonably and lawfully arrest CIA members in the United States. .

In the past few years, as long as there were some reasonable excuses and evidence, the FBI would never show mercy when arresting the CIA. .

However, these overt and covert conflicts between the two major intelligence agencies gradually stopped reappearing after the mysterious death of the FBI Director Hoover. .

. . .

Harold Stone put down the arm that was rubbing his temples, frowned, and looked at the phone number left by CIA director Ezra Cremo.

Although he personally is extremely unwilling to have anything to do with these bullshit actions and plans of CIA. .

But he has a job and cannot push these matters to others to participate in the management. .

When the deputy director called just now, he made it very clear~

Harold Stone must not only turn a blind eye to the CIA's actions in New York this time, but also provide certain cooperation to ensure the smooth progress of this plan~

And we also need to ensure that the calm and safe situation in New York will not evolve into a larger and uncontrollable chaos due to some random actions of the CIA. .

Emm. . .

Will CIA act randomly?

this. .Do you still need to ask?

Harold Stone, as the director of the FBI in New York, whether he personally wanted it or not, in a sense, when CIA director Ezra Cremo appeared in front of him, he had already been exposed to this secret. The action plan is tied together. .

The action plan was successful, and he didn't get much credit. .

The action plan failed, and as one of the main supporting characters, he was the one taking the blame. .He can't escape the ashes at the bottom of the pot no matter what!

This was the most important reason that made him feel sick and angry!

Harold Stone feels like he needs to think about it!

He must not allow those guys from CIA who have no bottom line to take advantage of him and then be thrown out to take the blame. .

After a while.

Mr. Stone's brows slowly relaxed~

He looked at the phone number on the table, reached out and opened the second drawer on the right, threw it in, and let out a sigh of relief.

In New York, he doesn't know many people who can help him~

Maybe. .Tonight would be a perfect opportunity to get him out of a bad situation!

Manhattan, Chinatown.

Xincheng Restaurant.

When David walked into the restaurant with Bloomer and Leslie, he saw Giles sitting with the restaurant owner Zhang, drinking tea and chatting. .

The three of them looked at each other, narrowed their eyes in an instant, and surrounded Giles with evil smiles. .

Giles stared at the three people left and right with vigilance, and threatened: "This is..."

"Hahaha~ What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up!" Blumer was the first to move his wrists and stretched out his sinful hands towards Giles, who still had some innocent fantasies. .

"Ah~ fxxx!"

"You bastards~! Hahaha~"

"Let go...hahaha~"

"Let me go...hahaha~"

Bloomer was responsible for controlling Giles' hands, while Leslie bent over and controlled Giles' body. .

David grabbed Giles by the collar, pressed him down on the table, and used his first trick in life. .The magic trick of tickling made Giles spit, laugh and curse directly on the table. .

Boss Zhang of the restaurant happily ducked aside and winked at his nephews Zhang Wenbiao and Brother Biao who came out of the kitchen. .

After they received David's ordering call, they directly rejected all the guests who wanted to dine at noon~

Boss Zhang and Brother Biao were both very grateful to David for his willingness to bring his rich second-generation friends to this Xincheng restaurant, which was not very prominent in Chinatown. .

Money is earned endless!

But David gave them this opportunity to get in touch with more important people. How could they be so stupid that they didn't know how to seize it?

Obviously not!

. . .

ten minutes later.

David and his three friends sat down around a clean table. Brother Biao, wearing a brand new, white chef uniform, served everyone some appetizers for this lunch. .

David looked at Brother Biao with a smile and joked: "I heard Polly say, how many great sauces have you developed for the breakfast bags in the budget store?"

Brother Biao smiled and rubbed his hands: "Hahaha~ That's right!"

"I am contacting large-scale purchasing channels for raw materials, and strive to make sauces that can fully supply the sales volume of breakfast bags in affordable stores within a week~"

David nodded and asked another matter: "Have you signed a contract with Polly?"

"Signed!"

"Poly helped us fund the investment, and I found a friend to register a company, Zhang Ji Food Co., Ltd.!"

"Wow~ It seems that I will call you Boss Zhang from now on? Haha~"

"Haha~ It's all thanks to your help that I have the opportunity to take this step!"

"My family and I have already discussed it~"

"This Zhangji Food Co., Ltd. will join the Da Group Company!"

"Provide more and better food ingredient improvement services for the affordable stores under da company!"

David looked around at the silent third friend and raised his eyebrows: "Have you... made a decision?"

"Yes!"

"ok~hahaha~"

"I'll go back and mention it to Polly~ The central kitchen plan we talked about before can also be slowly prepared~"

"It will definitely bring more and greater help to affordable stores and your sauce production!"

"Okay, okay~ Don't worry, I will definitely put all my energy into the research and development and improvement of sauce!"

"Yes, at the same time, your Zhangji Food Company will gradually become bigger and stronger!"

"Hahaha~"

David extended his right hand to Brother Biao, and the two held their hands tightly. A win-win cooperation was achieved!

Boss Zhang of the restaurant, watching his nephew Biao Ge shaking hands with David, couldn't help but nod his head and sighed in his heart.

This guy Wenbiao. .

Who would have thought that he could really step out of the kitchen and become the boss of a company?

hehe~

new York.

Kennedy International Airport.

A private jet slowly drove out of the corner runway. After it stopped, the door opened. Livlin G. Cherov walked out of the cabin, looked around, and turned back to the people around him.

"Send all my luggage to Gramercy Hotel~"

"Tell the people at Changdao Villa that I will be staying there in a few days and let them prepare for the party~"

"Okay, miss!"

Livlin walked down the ladder and looked at the Lincoln limousine not far away. She frowned and turned around and asked, "What kind of shabby car is this?"

The entourage opened his mouth slowly but said nothing. .

Livlin sighed, tightened the collar of her coat, and whispered to the driver who opened the door for her: "Send me there...Morgan Stanley!"

"Okay, miss!"

Saks Fifth Avenue, 661 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan.

Mr. Odis Parker, accompanied by the two heroines who met Mr. Harold Stone at dinner tonight, Brotney Mejia and Herris Schultz, selected the latest models of their choice. apparel. .

Mr. Parker had a very gentlemanly smile on his face, and gave his very pertinent opinions on every outfit Mecia and Herlis chose~

After half an hour.

The three Mr. Parkers, all carrying large and small shopping bags in their hands, walked out of the store and got into the car.

on the car.

Mecia held Helis' forearm, looked at Mr. Parker who was sitting in the driver's seat, and asked softly: "You mean... your boss will also appear in that restaurant tonight?"

"What? Do you want... to find a new job?"

"Haha~ tell me, what are you planning?"

Mr. Parker looked at the left and right rearview mirrors, drove the car, patted the steering wheel, and said with a smile: "New York is more suitable for your retirement life than Bordeaux!"

"what do you mean?"

Mr. Parker looked at Mexia in the rearview mirror, shook his head and said, "You asked me to...guess it right? Haha~"

Mexia closed her mouth, tilted her head, and looked outside through the car window. .

She and Helis had discussed that after retirement, they wanted to move to Bordeaux, France~

Can. .How did this annoying Odis Parker guess?

Harris, who had been silent just now, withdrew her gaze and stared at Mr. Parker in the rearview mirror and asked.

"Did you listen in on our conversation?"

"Monitoring you? Hahaha~ It's not necessary!"

"I know you better than you think!"

“It’s not difficult to guess where you want to live your retirement life!”

Helis closed her mouth with a cold expression, leaned back again, held Mecia's little hand tightly, and looked out the window.

Mr. Parker, who was driving, glanced at the two women in the back seat and wisely did not continue talking. He drove the car silently and took them back to the house they had arranged in advance in Queens.

Mr. Parker stood at the door of the house and watched the two women come in carrying bags.

After they closed the door, they got into the car, staring at the door and shaking their heads slightly.

Who would have thought that the two cardinals who once roamed the business circles of several European countries would now want to grow grapes in the countryside of Bordeaux incognito. .

hehe~

Destiny, sometimes, seems to be in your own hands~

but. .That's just people's illusion!
