Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

Blue Crystal Hotel.

David and Lilith walked out of the elevator, and after she tidied up her appearance, they walked toward the banquet hall on the second floor, talking and laughing softly.

in the banquet hall.

The waiter held up a tray and served a cocktail to each guest.

David walked into the venue, signaled to a waiter, and after getting two glasses of wine for himself and Lilith, the two walked to a corner by the door.

Lilith held the wine glass to her lips and introduced to David in a low voice some of the celebrities and tycoons she knew who arrived at the venue today~

But after Lilith introduced a few people, David quickly raised his hands and said with a wry smile in surrender: "I can't remember so many people in a short time."

"Hahaha~"

"There may be people in the world who have a photographic memory, but it's obvious that you are not one of those gifted people?"

"Yes~"

"It's okay~ I only remembered a rough idea at the beginning..."

"I can teach you a little method to help you remember each of them faster and more~"

"what way?"

"...a nickname!"

"Huh?~"

David looked at Lilith with a naughty expression, rolled his eyes, and whispered gossiping: "Do you still have this little quirk?"

With a smile on her lips, Lilith took a sip of her drink, blinked her big innocent eyes, and asked in a low voice: "What...is there?"

"Didn't anyone give you a nickname when you were in school?"

"Yes~ My nickname is Dumb!"

"Hahaha~ Who named you this? It's so vivid!"

David's facial features wrinkled into an embarrassed expression, and he changed the subject and said, "How do you give them nicknames?"

"Haha~ It's very simple, look for appearance characteristics!"

"Look at that thin old man with a red handkerchief in his breast pocket. Almost every time I see him, his red handkerchief appears..."

"So...you just call him Red Handkerchief?"

Lilith showed a surprised expression, then quickly covered her mouth and said with a smile: "What red handkerchief?"

"He's the Uncle Julie (Judith K. Morgan) of the family!"

"Hahaha~"

"uncle?"

David looked carefully at the short, thin middle-aged man in the distance, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Are he and old Mr. Morgan brothers?"

"That's right~ cousins ​​in the family."

"However, we all like Uncle Julie~ He is very kind to us~"

David looked at Julie for a few seconds, took note of his appearance, and said with a smile: "You'd better keep this little method of yours for yourself..."

"Let's go find Leslie, he's much more reliable than you!"

"Haha~ Okay, there he is!"

"Are you... so sure that he is more reliable than me?"

David took Lilith's little hand and made an expression that looked bad on both of you: "The most reliable person has to be Pine!"

Lilith smiled and whispered as she walked: "Don't go looking for Leslie yet, let me introduce Julie to you~"

"He is also going to attend our engagement ceremony... It will be good for you and me to get to know him earlier!"

"..ok!"

After the two people discussed it, they turned their feet in a different direction. David looked at Leslie and Livlin who were coming over and gave them a look.

Turning around and walking to Julie and others with a smile on her face, Lilith spoke first and said softly: "Uncle~"

"Oh~? Lilith!"

"Hahaha~ Come on, how long has it been since we last met?"

"Almost...nine months~"

"Where's Laura? Isn't she here?"

"She was studying at Yale. There were activities at school on the weekends, so she didn't come back~"

Julie stretched out her hand and patted Lilith's head gently, sighing as if she saw her daughter suddenly growing up and standing in front of her.

"It turns out you don't like wearing this kind of dress, let alone attending this kind of party~"

"It seems... you have grown up too! Haha~"

Lilith playfully ignored the gazes of the people around her. She tiptoed upwards, touched Julie's left hand above her head with her head, and laughed softly.

"When I was in fifth grade, you also said that I would never be taller than you~"

"How about now? I'm already taller than you!"

"Hahahaha~ Yes! He's taller than me!"

Julie laughed heartily, put her left hand directly around Lilith's shoulders, and kissed her gently on both sides of her cheeks. Her eyes were full of paternal pampering. .

As one of the important leaders of the American branch of the Morgan family, Julie has three unsatisfactory sons but no daughters. .

This makes Julie, who likes her daughter very much, always dote on the two smart girls Grace and Lilith in the old Morgan family~

This also gave the two girls in the Morgan family, in addition to the old Morgan family, another loved one who loved them and relied on them. .

Some time ago, Julie received calls from two women~

The content of Grace’s phone call is very simple ~

Her marriage to Elder was not happy~

It's a mistake!

But Grace didn't want to. .She didn't dare to tell the old Morgan and his wife Neria directly about this matter. She could only express her heart to Julie, the elder who loved her. .

Julie was on the phone, listening to the feeling in her heart after Grace cried for a while, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. .

After that, old man Julie chose a time that he felt was most suitable and told old Morgan about it~

The result~

Grace and Elder divorced~

Although their marriage ended, the two people who grew up together did not break up because of this and could still continue to be friends~

The positive role played by Julie cannot be ignored~

And the call from Lilith surprised Julie~!

He had long seen that there was something wrong with the relationship between Laura and Lilith. .normal?Too intimate! ?

However, after leaving home and arriving in New York, Lilith called and said that she would be engaged to a boy named David at the end of the year. .

this. .What's going on?

Julie couldn't control Laura and Lilith's relationship, let alone say anything. .

After all, this is old Morgan's family matter. .

That. .Where is this boy David?

he. .Where did it come from again?

Because of this matter, Julie directly found Pine. After learning that Old Morgan arranged for people to investigate David's details, she also helped Pine behind.

It can be said that Lilith didn't know David as well as Julie did from a few months ago. .

in the banquet hall.

Julie was holding a wine glass in one hand and holding her girlfriend with the other hand. After chatting softly for a few words with Lilith, who was half leaning in his arms.

He turned to look at David, his eyes looking as scrutinizing as an old father-in-law's, and whispered meaningfully.

"Are you David boy?"

"Yes~Uncle!"

"Ha~ you kid..."

"Uncle Julie!" Lilith's sweet and coquettish voice with five plus numbers instantly made Julie's expression become as happy as if she had won a jackpot. .

Ahem~ Julie is definitely not short of the first prize money. .

What makes him happy is that Lilith hasn't acted coquettishly towards him like this for many years. .

. . .

(Let me explain here~ Old fathers who dote on girls have never been imaginary magical creatures in movies, TV series, novels and other works~ They are real in our lives!

Just like a good friend of mine, he and his sister are treated completely differently at home!

years ago.

His sister told her father that she wanted to change her mobile phone. His father didn't ask anything, just transferred a super big red envelope and typed: Buy whatever you want. .

When my old friend tried to tell his dad that he wanted to change his mobile phone, his dad gave him a big mouthful and cursed loudly: "Change it! Get out of here!" . .

In the end, my old friend could only pouted and replaced his old sister's cell phone with one that had been discarded. .

This is the difference between Chi Guoguo in the real world!Haha~)

. . .

Book back to text.

in the banquet hall.

Julie's expression changed, and she acted like a little girl like Lilith, which made David and the people around him have different expressions. .

These people all know that Julie dotes on the two girls in the old Morgan family, but they have never seen it with their own eyes~

Today, they have learned a lot. .

As for David, looking at Julie and Lilith, he heard the slightly noisy conversations of people around him and the sound of music in the distance, and he felt like he was here in a daze. .It's like being at Julie's or Lilith's house.

Julie’s doting and true love are revealed~

Lilith's coquettishness is even more wanton~

They don’t need to care about anyone’s eyes and opinions~

They didn't regard this place as a public place. .

Do they need to care about the occasion?Are you concerned about being rude?

Do you care about the opinions of irrelevant people around you?

No need!

So, whatever you want to say, just say it~

If you want to do something, just do it!

Julie and Lilith did this~

David also realized it!

He thought of those reminders he had said to Bernard Madoff. .

In fact, those words are really not that important!

David and Madoff, from the perspective of the guests here tonight, have the same identity~

Both of them were people who entered today's cocktail party by virtue of their glorified status as collaborators and wanted to forcibly integrate into this circle.

Therefore, for David and Madoff, before they get recognition, their unexpected appearance today can only be regarded as a face-saving moment in this circle. .

Another hidden attribute of the circle: the chain of contempt ~

It has always existed in the subconscious of the so-called top celebrities.

Perhaps, no one will put "I despise you" on their face, write it on their forehead, or say it directly. .

But they will let you know in another way. .

That is, another hidden attribute of the circle: silent tacit understanding.

People will see through many things without telling them~

When people in a small circle reach a certain degree of tacit understanding, they will choose to express their thoughts and attitudes through consistent actions.

For example. .

A few people around David now.

They all looked at each other in tacit understanding, nodded politely to David, turned and left, leaving this small space to Julie, Lilith, and David.

David kept a polite smile on his face and nodded slightly to the leaving people.

Julie and Lilith only glanced at each other and began to communicate softly after a long separation. .

In the past few minutes, David only said one sentence with a smile: Yes, uncle. .

However, David has a big heart~

From the first time he was taught by the social expert Xina, he understood one of the most powerful passive skills among social skills.

That is: as long as you don't feel embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. .

How can one get along in society without a face thicker than the city wall?

. . .

After several people left.

David blocked out almost all the noise in his ears, with a smile on his face, and patiently and quietly watched Lilith and Julie having an intimate conversation. .

His eyes, looking at Lilith's face, were full of concentration!

In his head, he was constantly thinking and absorbing what he had just learned~

In David's senses, a few seconds seemed to pass, and then a few ten minutes seemed to pass.

Lilith, who was having an intimate conversation with Julie, suddenly stopped, winked at Julie, and said with a sweet smile: "You said you wanted to see David~ Now you have seen him!"

"What do you think of him?"

Julie suppressed the smile on her face slightly, turned her head and looked at David up and down again with a scrutinizing gaze, patted Lilith's shoulder with her left hand, raised her wine glass and said.

"Boy David, don't do anything to Lilith that you will regret... Do you understand?"

"Um...Okay uncle, I understand!"

"Humph~"

Julie ignored Lilith who was shaking his arm, touched David's glass with the wine glass, and continued.

"I received a message~"

"On the New York Mercantile Exchange (nymex), a new category of refined oil products, heating oil, was originally scheduled to be listed on November 11."

"It will be officially listed on NYMEX starting next Monday!"

After Julie felt Lilith in her arms, she stopped abusing his arms. .

A smile appeared on his face, and he said to the curious David boy: "Heating oil, which is No. 2 fuel oil~"

(No. 2 fuel oil belongs to the category of distillate fuel oil and is suitable for use in small household and industrial fuel heaters.)

"Heating oil futures contract, the trading unit is 42000 gallons (1000 barrels) per lot, and the delivery place is New York Port."

"At the same time, NYMEX will also launch options trading for heating oil, option spread trading, refining gross profit period trading and jet fuel hedging tools, etc."

"And their delivery method is stipulated to be cash delivery!"

"These...are all strategic changes made because of you ~ Boy David!"

David stopped his smile, frowned, and asked softly: "Because I... changed the launch date?"

"Humph~"

"In the family, people in London all think that the old Morgan... must be crazy~"

"He collected a large amount of refined oil and crude oil in the commodity markets of various countries regardless of price."

"The heating oil that will be listed on the market next Monday is the last piece of the puzzle in his crazy acquisition plan."

Julie stared at David sharply, and her voice became deeper and she said: "Those things you predicted... I heard about it~"

"But have you thought about it?"

"If they hadn't happened... what would have happened to you?"

David's frown deepened. .

He looked directly at Julie, shook his head, and said with certainty: "A few months ago, I was just a bartender..."

"I am not God!"

"Not even a magic stick or a prophet who can figure out the future~"

"None of us can stop what is going to happen..."

"I can't, you can't, it's not as strong as the US government...it can't either!"

"Just like the October War (the Fourth Middle East War) that occurred in 1973, who would have thought that Egypt and Syria, which invested more than 100 million troops and a large number of advanced weapons, would suddenly reverse the situation after gaining the upper hand in the first two days. Woolen cloth?"

"Who could have thought in advance that although Israel won that war, the real winners were all Arab countries?"

"Uncle, now do you think... will there be a fifth, sixth, or more war in the Middle East?"

"I can tell you very clearly, it will definitely be!"

"The Middle East is a powder keg floating on oil!"

"When will it explode and how will it explode? I can't give you an accurate answer~"

"but.."

When David said this, he paused briefly before continuing to lower his voice and said: "Three years at the least, five years at the latest!"

"The Middle East will usher in a larger-scale war!"

"Israel, this small country of Jews, will definitely be involved in war again!"

After David finished speaking, he felt like he was deflated, his whole body was limp and he was sweating. .

He once again overdrawn the future in his memory. .

In David's memory, in 1982, Israel invaded its northern neighbor, Lebanon, and started the fifth Middle East War.

This is a real historical event that happened before David was reborn. .

Will it happen again?

Judging from the information David learned after his rebirth, it is highly likely that it will happen!

Before 1974, all the war history in the Middle East was exactly the same as in David's vague memory!

By this year, in September 1978, the leaders of Egypt and Israel, the participating countries in the Fourth Middle East War, were invited by US President Warren White to come to the United States.

After 13 days of calm discussions at Camp David, President White's retreat, they signed the historic "Outline for Achieving Peace in the Middle East" and the "Outline for Signing a Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel."

They are called the "Camp David Accords" by the media.

It is this agreement that gives David more confidence in the prediction he is making now!

Because David knows that this agreement between Egypt and Israel to shake hands and make peace will never satisfy other countries in the Middle East that have blood feuds with Israel!

We have been fighting and killing each other for decades for land and beliefs. Who does not have the blood debt of the people of the other country?

Shake hands and make peace? ! !

Stop daydreaming!

hehe~

Unless the great gods of Christianity and Judaism really come to the world, show miracles, and eliminate the hatred accumulated in people's hearts. .

Otherwise, the Middle East will continue to be in chaos due to historical wars. .

. . .

After David finished speaking, he lowered his head listlessly, which made Lilith feel a little distressed. .

She rolled her eyes at Julie with a hint of complaint, walked up to David, hugged his arm tightly, wiped the fine sweat on his head with her gloves, and whispered.

"Do you feel... uncomfortable there?"

"I'll take you upstairs to have a rest~"

"No need~ I'll just find a place and sit for a while."

"Ok~ Let's go sit with Leslie and the others for a while~"

"Uncle Julie, let's go first~"

Julie's eyes were quite appetizing, and she hummed helplessly: "...Go ahead~"

David twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled and nodded to Julie, and turned and left with Lilith. .

. . .

Julie stood there, squinting her eyes, looking at David and Lilith, walked to sit down next to Leslie, and then withdrew her gaze.

He carefully thought about every word David just said~

Will Israel be involved in a new war again?

If this is really the case, will the Jews in the United States sit idly by and ignore it?

Obviously, no!

Today, the American Jewish community, as the most financially powerful group of Jews in the world, has penetrated into every industry and every corner of the United States. .

Their unity and influence have reached a level that no American can ignore!

This can be seen from the fact that private universities in the United States have begun to restrict the proportion of Jewish freshmen admitted. .

Julie, as one of the leaders of the Morgan family, certainly understands this very well.

The history of the Jews is a history of business and war~

War~

Every time an accident occurs, it will bring a huge opportunity~

Old Morgan did it because of David's prediction and seeing this. .So crazy?

Julie frowned, gently rubbed the wine glass with her fingers, and walked outside the venue.

No!

He felt that more information was needed to first verify David's prediction about the situation in Iran, or rather. .Guess~

If this boy really persuaded old Morgan because of this~

Julie should also be able to find clues from the existing intelligence information and piece together a complete puzzle of opportunities!
