Manhattan Reborn 1978

New York state.

Cornell University, a spacious conference room.

The main author of the "Anti-Fraud and Corruption Group Crime Law", Professor Robert from the Law School, stood up in front of everyone, took off his glasses, and spoke to the people participating in the seminar in a serious voice.

"The law gives you the law enforcement power to maintain citizen safety and social stability!"

"This "Anti-Fraud and Corruption Group Crimes Law" can help everyone to control the entrenched..."

New York FBI director Harold Stone was sitting in his seat, listening to Professor Robert's impassioned speech with a serious expression on his face along with everyone else, but he thought of a past event in his heart.

. . .

On November 1963, 11, at 22:12 noon, President John F. Kennedy (jfk) was assassinated in Dallas.

Therefore, according to American law, Lyndon Johnson, then Vice President of the United States, became the 2th President of the United States just 36 hours after Kennedy's death.

President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in aboard Air Force One at Dallas Airport. .

This is the first time in the history of the United States that a presidential oath-taking ceremony has been held on an airplane, and it is also the most hasty and crude (missing) one. .

At that time, President Kennedy's younger brother, Robert Kennedy (rfk), was serving as Attorney General in the President's Cabinet.

After President Kennedy was assassinated, he remained in office until 1964, during the term of President Lyndon Johnson.

On March 1968, 3, Robert F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for the Donkey Party's presidential nomination.

January 1968, 6, morning.

After rfk delivered a victory speech to his supporters in the lobby of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, when he left through the kitchen foyer, he was killed on the spot by a killer who had been waiting for a long time. .

"Assassinations have never changed the course of history," Robert F. Kennedy once said after his brother was assassinated in Dallas.

But this is not true.

His brother's death, and his own, changed the course of history.

Maybe it's fate~

Perhaps, after the Kennedy brothers came to power, they forgot too many people who had helped them, failed to keep their promises, and suffered retaliation. .

Less than five years later, the two brothers were reunited at Arlington Cemetery. .

. . .

Harold Stone, who had worked under FBI Director Hoover for many years, knew in his heart that Professor Robert had been a legal practitioner for a long time in the team of Robert Kennedy (RFK), the younger brother of the Kennedy brothers. consultant. .

And RFK is the attorney general who has dealt the strongest blow to the American gangs in the history of the United States~

As for rfk's death, it has nothing to do with the gangs who hated him so much that they gritted their teeth. .

Harold didn't believe this nonsense.

But Harold thought it was unlikely that the gang sent someone to kill RFK.

But now, these. .It’s no longer important~

Professor Robert, with his own actions, perfectly explained a sentence: It is never too late for professor to take revenge in ten years!

. . .

After a while.

Professor Robert announced to everyone: "This seminar is over. We have said everything that should be said and what should not be said~"

"Today is Friday, I wish everyone a happy weekend~"

"Then...goodbye everyone!"

"The meeting is over~"

Lynde Vercello, sitting next to Harold Stone, gave Professor Robert his own round of applause.

Harold only applauded a few times symbolically, then stood up and prepared to pack up and leave.

Linde smiled and said: "We are going to have lunch together later, and then we will go our separate ways~"

"Look, that guy is the new director who will be sent to Las Vegas~"

Harold looked in the direction of Lind's finger, prayed in his heart for the unlucky guy, and shrugged.

"You go eat with them, I want to get back to New York as soon as possible~!"

"...Okay~"

Lind nodded regretfully, patted Harold, and followed everyone out of the conference room.

new York.

Brooklyn, Spearfish Club.

Gang leader Paul and a few of his men moved a few chairs and sat in a sunny alley at the back door of the club.

He also saw the report in today's newspaper and was ready to enjoy the warm autumn afternoon sunshine one last time before the cold wave hit New York.

After a while.

A few people who were chatting together suddenly heard a burst of continuous gunshots coming from the distance.

Boss Paul frowned, looked at his subordinate Tommy and asked: "In that direction... is it the bank at the corner of the street?"

Tommy jumped up with excitement and said with a smile: "That's right~ I'll go take a look!"

Boss Paul nodded silently and said to his subordinate Henry: "You go with Tommy, be careful!"

"Haha, okay~"

Tommy and Henry ran out of the alley quickly amid the gunshots that kept coming from the distance.

on the street.

Pedestrians were so frightened by the continuous gunfire that they bent over and fled quickly away from the gunfire.

Henry pulled out his pistol from his waist and wanted to step forward to see the situation.

Tommy rolled his eyes and stopped Henry, letting him hide the gun he was holding in his arms to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.

Just like that, the two of them held pistols in their right hands, imitating pedestrians' avoidance, and trotted towards the bank at the corner of the street in the distance.

Crossroads in the distance.

Two police cars coming from different directions parked crookedly in the middle of the intersection not far from the bank gate.

Behind the police car, while dodging bullets, several police officers blindly fired back at the robbers at the bank entrance with their police pistols. .

When Henry and Tommy arrived, they were less than 70 meters away from the intersection.

The two of them hid behind a car on the street and stuck their heads out to look into the distance.

What the two of them didn't expect was a shop door just in front of them and about ten meters to their right.

The two guys with silver auxiliary police badges hanging on their buttocks, like them, were holding guns in their hands and looking toward the intersection.

Henry nudged Tommy with his elbow and asked, "Who are they?"

Tommy chuckled and said, "The auxiliary police officers and street informants~you don't know them?"

"Nonsense! I know why I'm asking you?"

"As long as they are here, we shouldn't go any further. We can just hide here and watch the fun!"

Henry changed his angle and looked at the two guys whose heads touched each other and were mumbling from the side of the car's taillights.

"What...are they going to do?"

"Haha~ Let's take the credit."

"Didn't you notice? We haven't heard the police sirens for reinforcements until now~"

Henry blinked suddenly, retracted his head and looked at Tommy: "Yeah, why?"

"fxxx!"

"Didn't I just say it?"

"When these auxiliary police officers see cases similar to bank robberies, they are like sharks smelling blood. Wherever there are bank robberies, they will appear."

"Don't worry, you can see their performance later!"

Henry let go of his right hand holding the gun, scratched his head, and looked confused. .

It was hard for him to imagine that if the police didn't come to reinforce him, would it be possible to rely on a few auxiliary police officers and a few police officers who were beaten by the robbers and could only hide behind the police car to arrest people?

Tommy didn't have time to pay attention to his friend Henry. He found himself the best observation point and watched patiently as if he had bought the best tickets.

In the end, it was exactly as Tommy said~

After less than 1 minute.

A [-]%-new Ford sedan sped up from behind where Tommy and Henry were hiding~

Henry looked over at the three people who jumped out of the Ford car. After quickly finding a hiding place for himself, he waved to the two people hiding at the door of the store.

Two waves of five auxiliary police officers gathered together. After communicating and making a simple division of labor, they were directly divided into three teams and ran quickly towards the intersection with their waists bent.

Tommy looked at their backs and explained to Henry: "Look...that bastard in the black jacket!"

"I saw him in the casino a few days ago~"

"He lost all 1400 dollars in less than an hour!"

"After that bastard lost all his money, he still yelled like a showoff that he only earned the money in two days..."

"Two days...?"

"Just... helping the police catch bank robbers?"

"How do you know about my ****?"

"His wallet is always bulging anyway..."

Tommy stared at the black jacket with some disgust, muttering to himself: The bullet needs to have eyes ~ Kill that dazzling bastard!

However, the reality in front of him disappointed Tommy.

Just see it in the distance~

When the three reinforcements composed of five people approached the intersection, the robbers at the bank gate immediately noticed their rapid approach and wanted to turn around and return to the bank to continue their resistance.

But what they didn't expect was that the policemen who had just hid their heads like ostriches suddenly popped up one after another, as if they had eaten several tons of cocaine, and launched a fierce counterattack against them.

When the auxiliary police saw the police starting to fight back, they also launched attacks on the robbers from all angles.

Just 2 minutes later.

The robber at the entrance of the bank was shot dead by the police and auxiliary police officers who appeared on both sides. .

At this time, Tommy and Henry stood up and slowly came closer to find out.

It turned out that not only were the auxiliary police reinforcements coming to their side, but there were also three auxiliary policemen on the opposite street blocking the robbers' retreat.

This. .

Henry looked at the three robbers lying in a pool of blood and asked his friend: "Why don't they go back to the bank?"

Tommy looked at Henry as if he were a fool: "Hmph~ Didn't you watch the live broadcast of the bank robbery a few years ago?"

"fxxx! I was in jail at the time!"

"Ah~! Oh..Sorry man, I forgot~"

Tommy patted his forehead, comforted Henry with a smile, and explained: "In that bank robbery, the robbers were trapped in the bank by the police and took more than ten hostages."

"As a result, after a long confrontation and negotiation, the police lost face and the robbers failed to escape. One died and the other was caught."

"So, from then on, as long as the robbers wanted to rob the bank, they would almost never choose to hide back in the bank, but just rush out."

"The only way to survive is to escape before the police surround them~"

"Trapped in a bank, holding hostages to die... Haha~ No future, let alone escape!"

Henry nodded with understanding. It seemed that he had missed a lot of interesting things in the past few years in prison!

In the distance, a deafening siren sounded on the street, and police reinforcements arrived. .

new York.

Queens, angel investment project research and development center.

The person in charge here, Alicia Nash, is excitedly looking at a dozen small disposable lighters with the researchers.

(Alicia Nash, appearing in Chapter 129, the heroine in the movie "A Beautiful Mind", the wife of Professor Nash, and a top student who graduated from Harvard School of Physics.)

After a while.

These lighters were rotated in everyone's hands, and finally fell into Alicia's hands.

She picked out the best ones, returned to her office happily, and picked up the phone.

"Hey~ I'm looking for David!"

"Oh...where did he go?"

"Public library? Haha~"

"I know, thank you, Maggie!"

Alicia put down the phone, thought about it for a few seconds, picked up the phone again, and dialed.

"Hello~ Ben Likert?"

"Yes, it's me~"

"Our disposable lighter sample..."

"Well... we have tested it and there is no problem with the safety, but the overall production cost is a bit high."

"Okay, let's meet in front of the public library on Fifth Avenue~"

"David is there, we just want to go look for him together~"

"Okay ~ I'll see you later!"

After putting down the phone, Alicia picked up a lighter and her small bag.

As she walked downstairs, she inexplicably remembered the first time she met David in the Flintstone Library of Princeton University.

new York.

Saks Fifth Avenue, 661 Fifth Avenue.

Zina led Miranla and was trying on the latest autumn skirt in the store.

They had to prepare several sets of beautiful clothes for their first meeting with the head of Tiffany's jewelry advertising department.

In a separate fitting room in the store.

After Zina watched Miranla try on most of the autumn dresses in the store, she ordered a few that looked most satisfactory and asked Miranla to put them on again and look at them again.

After a few minutes.

When Miranla came out wearing a V-neck, close-fitting white dress, Zina couldn't help but stand up, pulled Miranla to the full-length mirror, looked around and said.

"Looking at it, this outfit is the most suitable for your current temperament~ What do you think?"

Miranla naturally hung her hands by her side, looked at herself in the mirror, bit her lips and whispered.

"I think too...this one looks great~"

"Haha~ok!"

"Come and try on this separate professional skirt."

"Good~"

Miranla obediently took another set of clothes from the clerk and entered the changing room.

Zina sat back in her original position and looked at the clerk on the side. After looking up and down, she confirmed the results of her observation just now.

Miranla’s height is over 1 meters~

When she stands naturally, the wrist line of her hands is lower than the hip line, which means that her thighs look longer and slender than those of ordinary girls!

(The body proportions of most women are as follows: the palm of the hand is at the same level as the lower hip line, which is a standard figure.)

(In other words, the difference in length is often only a few centimeters, which can make the legs of long-legged girls look more slender visually.)

This also makes Miranla's heads appear more slender compared with other girls when wearing short skirts~

Zina couldn't help but think of the night she and Susan were drunk at the Blue Crystal Hotel. Susan had said that David liked girls with long legs the most. .

This. .

Miranla is not only smart, sensible, and precocious, but also has a perfect figure that makes people envious and jealous.

Zina didn't even know what it was about David that made Miranla willing to wait for him so wholeheartedly. .

Manhattan.

Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, New York Public Library.

After David and Black Mike went to a nearby restaurant for lunch, they contacted Sam first and learned that the trading performance of the heating oil futures contract was very stable today. .

Next to the marble pillar on the left side of the library door, Larry Allison and two partners saw David coming back and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"David~!"

"Um...Larry? Why are you here?"

Larry Allison smiled and introduced his two partners, Bob Miner and Edmond Os, to David first.

David smiled and shook hands with the two. After a few polite words, he looked at the three founders of Oracle in front of him and felt happy.

The investment thing is done~!

Sure enough, it was just as he expected.

Larry Allison didn't care that this was the entrance to the library and expressed his thoughts directly.

"We have discussed it and agreed to your investment in the company."

"However... we want to sell you 20% of the company's shares at a company valuation of $40."

"20?"

David smiled playfully on the faces of the three of them and looked at them one by one.

I found that Larry Allison had the calmest expression among the three, while Bob Miner and Edmund Oates both had unnatural smiles on their faces. .

It seems that his great deception talent has been fully awakened, and his cheeky passive skill is activated. .

David turned his attention to Larry again and replied with a bright smile: "Okay! Just 20 dollars!"

"make a deal!!"

Larry Allison's eyes were shining, and he quickly extended his right hand, wanting to shake David's hand and seal a deal.

What surprised him was that David waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I still have two conditions that I haven't mentioned yet. You might as well listen to them first before making a decision!"

"Um...Okay, please tell me!"

Larry took a deep breath, knowing that he had been too impatient just now and had lost his composure.

David shrugged, spread his hands and smiled: "Perhaps you know better than me how many companies there are in Silicon Valley that can be valued at $20."

"I am willing to accept the company valuation you gave, but it does not mean that I am a fool who has money but nowhere to spend it~"

"But, I am really optimistic about the abilities and strength of the three of you!"

"I hope you can understand this!"

Larry and the three looked at each other, and as the company's technical guru, Bob Miner said sincerely.

"Thank you, Mr. Coleman!"

"Hey~ we are all friends from now on, call me David!"

"...Okay, thank you David!"

"Hehe~"

David put his left hand into his trouser pocket, pointed at the three people with his right hand, and continued: "My conditions are very simple."

"First, as the company's major shareholder, I will attract more software development business to the company and put the company's development into a fast lane."

"Then, correspondingly, you must keep up with the company's development and ensure that you can continue to learn more professional knowledge and improve yourself, so as not to fall behind!"

"Guys, I'll say it first!"

"If any of you fall behind, I will propose to convene a board of directors and ask you to take half of your shares and sell them to the company's board of directors, and then use these shares to find people who can bring more help to the company!"

"I say this, do you agree?"

The three founders of Oracle looked at each other, and Larry pondered for a moment before speaking first.

"What about the second condition?"

David narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, and said, "The second condition is simpler."

"No matter how many times the company will raise funds in the future, I will have priority in financing to ensure that my shares will not be less than 35%!"

"Of course, I will spend exactly as much money as I need and invest it in the company to help it develop faster."

this condition. .

That made Larry Allison frown.

David's first condition is that whoever falls behind will quit the company's management and use the remaining half of the shares to retire~

Larry strongly agrees with this.

In today's large companies, there are too many incompetent people. They call me "xxx" but cannot continue to make decisions that are beneficial to the company. .

If the company wants to continue to develop healthily, if they don't leave, who will?

As for the second jump, David wants financing priority, which means that no matter how big or powerful the company becomes in the future, David will always hold more than 35% of the shares and will become the largest shareholder with the most say on the board of directors. .

Larry and the three of them are now the company RSI, and Larry is the major shareholder, accounting for 60% of the shares!

In his heart, he was very repelled by this condition~

However, he did not give his answer immediately.

"David, we need to go back and discuss these two conditions of yours~ Look, can you give us another two days?"

"Okay~"

"Well, tomorrow is the weekend, and next Tuesday is Halloween."

"How about you give me an answer before Tuesday?"

"..ok!"

Larry and the three left.

David looked at the three people's retreating figures, smiled and shook his head slightly.

20 million knives.

Only those who have been taken advantage of will invest in them based on such outrageous company valuations.

Therefore, David temporarily added the two slightly harsh additional conditions just now.

He was looking forward to what answer Larry Allison and the three would give after they went back to discuss it~
