Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

Near noon.

Wall Street, in front of the Stanley Building.

Neil Walker deliberately returned to the rented place, put on his only suit, and walked into the building with Giovanni in high spirits.

On the fourth floor, outside David's office door.

Gayden Milken, who had just joined David's company some time ago, declined the arrangement of his secretary Maggie, found himself a deserted place near the elevator, and silently followed the direction of David's office.

(Gayden Milken, the second male lead Gordon from the movie "Wall Street", played by Michael Douglas. He is a composite and fabricated plot with the real-life Wall Street junk bond king, Michael Milken figure.)

The reason why Gayden Milken chose such a remote corner for himself where no one paid attention was because he keenly discovered that within a few meters of David's office, there was no work except for the female secretary Maggie. Personnel approached actively. .

Milken has seen this strange scene in some large companies before.

but. .The bosses of those companies are nothing more than old perverts who stare at the necks of female employees all day long. .

David. .Is he that kind of boss too?

probably not. .Bar?

Emm. .

Forget it~

If Milken feels that he is not sure about something, he should act more cautiously and observe it silently first. .

. . .

After a while.

Giovanni led Neil Walker out of the elevator, pointed in the direction of David's office, said a few words, then turned around and took the elevator downstairs.

Neil Walker tightened his tie complacently, feeling the scrutinizing gaze of Gayden Milken not far away, nodded to his friendly smile, and walked towards David's office.

Gayden Milken quietly watched Neil Walker walk into the office, and was arranged to sit down and wait by his secretary Maggie, with a smile on his lips.

(Neil Walker, the male supporting actor in the movie "Joy". The heroine of the movie is the eldest cousin Jennifer Lawrence, and Neil Walker is played by Bradley Cooper. Cooper He also starred in the movie "Never Ending" as the male protagonist.)

He also saw the news this morning~

Neil Walker's performance in the news is very good, and the blind box sales on Halloween carnival night, this kind of commercial activity, show more genuine gifts to ordinary people in the news. .

It has to be said that Neil Walker's first screen image was widely praised by the TV media and audiences.

Blind box company is on fire!

Of course, nothing can be convinced by just a few simple words of deception.

The grand prize in the blind box made many lucky winners among the ordinary people who came here to participate in the Halloween Parade last night.

. . .

ten minutes later.

Gaydon Milken put out his third cigarette butt and finally saw a beautiful woman in professional attire walking out of David's office.

That is. .Lilith?

Milken gave a thumbs up for his caution.

. . .

After Lilith left.

The long-awaited Gayden Milken and Neil Walker entered David's office.

After David found out that the two completely unrelated people met by chance and came together, he decided to meet them together.

"Hey~ Gayden, let me say a few words to Neil first, okay?"

"Of course~"

Milken walked to the sofa and sat down, ready to wait and see.

Neil Walker was asked by David to sit across from the desk.

David smiled and said: "You did a great job last night, Neil!"

"I'm very happy that you chose to accept my invitation and join the company~"

"..Thank you~"

"Don't be so polite, man!"

“This blind box sales company is still in its infancy stage.”

"So, I want you to be the deputy general manager of the company, and I will temporarily hold the position of general manager."

"In the future, I will not interfere too much in the daily running of the company. We can also discuss development plans."

Neil Walker nodded with shining eyes and said with suppressed excitement.

"Okay, boss!"

"Haha~ This is the office. Our relationship is work-related. When we have time outside of work, you can call me David~"

"Yesterday, you should have met and gotten to know Leon, McFarlane, Yuri and others in the company."

"You follow Maggie later and get familiar with it first. Ask her to give you a copy of our meeting minutes. You read it carefully and then come to me to discuss it. We will check for any doubts and fill in the gaps."

"Ok!"

David stood up, extended his right hand to Neil and said, "Welcome to join, Neil!"

"That's it for today...?"

Neil Walker then stood up, shook hands with David and said, "Thank you, David!"

"Haha~ You're welcome!"

David sent Neil to the door, explained a few words to his secretary Maggie, looked at Neil's suit, thought for a while and said.

"I'll give you an address, and you can make some suits that fit you and put them on my account."

"Then you tell the old tailor and ask Shirley to come to the company to see me tomorrow. I have something to discuss with her~"

Neil was stunned for a few seconds, lowered his head and tugged on the hem of his suit with his hand, nodded without saying thank you again.

Good opportunities and good bosses were all given to him by luck~

There are too many words of thanks on your head, it is better to work harder~

. . .

After seeing Neil Walker off, David turned back to the office, sat down behind the desk, and smiled.

"Okay buddy, you're here...to give me good news, right?"

"Haha~ Of course!"

Milken took out a large folder from his briefcase, placed it in front of David, and introduced it.

"The junk bond market, as the domestic economic environment becomes increasingly difficult, has begun to expand geometrically in scale."

"Like... we most often mention that companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange have begun to put their plans to survive the crisis through the issuance of bonds on the board of directors' agenda."

"What I pay more attention to now is not the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, but the companies listed on the MiX."

"In addition to the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange (Amex) is the second largest stock exchange in the country and on Wall Street."

"The general business model of the MiX is almost exactly the same as that of the New York Stock Exchange."

"But the difference is that the listing requirements on the MiX are lower than those of the New York Stock Exchange and higher than those of Nasdaq."

"Companies listed on the MiX are mostly small and medium-sized enterprises, so their stock prices are lower, trading volume is smaller, and liquidity is slightly lower."

"For small and medium-sized enterprises and emerging companies, before there was Nasdaq, the MiX was a better choice for companies to go public to raise funds for rapid financing and expansion~"

"After they slowly grow into large companies like General Motors on the MiX, they can then be listed on the New York Stock Exchange."

“Therefore, the market’s recognition of the stocks of companies listed on the MiX is much higher than those of Nasdaq. Many new star stocks that can be called new stocks on the New York Stock Exchange are from the MiX. What has grown up.”

"However, although the relatively relaxed listing conditions of the Mi Stock Exchange have spawned many small and medium-sized listed companies, their capital chains are in a very tight state in response to the financial crisis that has affected all domestic companies."

David looked through the information Milken brought, which contained some small and medium-sized companies that he had never heard of, and nodded.

"So, do you think that instead of digging for gold in the sand of the Nasdaq market, we should first find our first customer for underwriting bonds among companies listed on the MiX Stock Exchange?"

"That's right!"

Milken pointed at the information in David's hand and said with a smile: "I have listed a few companies that urgently need to issue bonds to save the company's financial difficulties. I am going to contact them and understand their company's specific situation and needs. Come here Let’s make our first business beautiful!”

David shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I have no objection~"

"I can ask Mr. Otis Parker to help you with this kind of professional business investigation~"

"He...may be able to help you collect some powerful bargaining chips that you can't find, which will give you more help when negotiating with these companies."

Gayden Milken nodded with a surprised expression and said with a smile: "Thank you, boss~"

"Hahaha~"

"By the way, where is your team? Has it been formed?"

"Basically, it's almost done~"

"I want you to send a financial person over first to set up the company's accounts."

David handed the information in his hand to Milken and said with a smile: "Secretary Maggie will help you introduce the company's financial officer Erwin, and he will send someone to work at your place."

"She will also give you Mr. Parker's contact information. You can tell him the details yourself."

"Ok~"

Milken took the folder, put it in his briefcase, stood up, glanced at his watch, and invited.

"At noon... do you want to have lunch together?"

"No~"

"I still have some work to do, maybe next time!"

"Ok!"

. . .

Gaydon Milken is gone.

David walked to the window and did some stretching exercises. After moving for a while, his mind slowly smoothed out his thoughts.

Before he left New York and went to London, he wanted to find a time to meet David Rockefeller!

He is in charge of the Rockefeller family's industry, Chase Manhattan Bank, and is now the spokesperson of the Rockefeller family in New York.

Perhaps a more accurate answer to some of the questions David had in mind could be obtained from him.

----

The Queen.

Belmont Racecourse.

These days.Saudi Prince Difar, who has been visiting various social places in New York, has a preliminary understanding of New York~

In those kinds of cocktail parties and gatherings where all the so-called "elites" gather, everyone talks about friendship, but in their hearts they are thinking about business that is beneficial to them.

This kind of social gathering, which seemed to Diffal to be particularly real and hypocritical, slowly made him feel bored.

In addition, he received another "bad news" this morning, which made his mood even worse.

Emm. .

What should I do if I feel bad?

In this strange city, he had no one he could completely chat with, so he thought of coming to the racecourse to relax and have some fun.

. . .

Jewish businessman Mikhail Friedliman brought his beloved horse to the racecourse again today to participate in the race.

However, his mood at the moment was completely different from Defar's.

His favorite horse once again ran No. 2 today.

This put a smile on Mikhail's face that never stopped~

. . .

Saudi Prince Difar walked into the private room where he had been. After looking around the racecourse with a telescope, he accidentally spotted one not far away. .friend?

He put down the telescope, thought for a while, and decided to go up and say hello.

After a few minutes.

When Mikhail saw Saudi Prince Difar who came to say hello, his expression showed surprise and he smiled.

"It's great that we can meet again."

Defal nodded politely: "You can call me Defal~"

"Hahaha~Okay!"

"I know your names are all long, and mine is not short either."

"My friends all call me El~"

"Okay, El!"

"Are you bringing a horse to the race today too?"

"Yeah ~ look..."

The two of them chatted slowly and got to know each other better through their common hobby of horse racing.

The older Mikhail could keenly sense from Difar that this young Saudi prince still lacked social experience. .Hina~

His experience coming to New York will be interesting~

Thinking of this, Mikhail cleverly turned the topic between the two to Defar's experience after arriving in New York.

Defar obviously didn't want to hide anything~ he briefly talked about some drinking parties he had attended, some new friends he had met, and. .Their inconsistent attitudes.

After Mikhail listened happily, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Bernard Madoff, who was with me last time, you attended the party at the Blue Crystal Hotel together?"

"Yes~"

"Then you should have met David Coleman too?"

"Hmm..Yes~"

"What do you think of him?"

Defal blinked his big eyes a few times, not quite understanding Mikhail's intentions. He looked at the racecourse, thought for a moment, and then said.

"We didn't have much contact, we just chatted about him..."

Defal briefly talked about their meeting experience. Mikhail nodded slightly, turned around and found a seat, asked Defal to sit down as well, and said.

"Did you know about the Halloween Parade in Manhattan last night?"

"I heard~"

"We worked together yesterday~"

"Cooperation? Are you together...?"

"Haha~ didn't you watch the TV news this morning?"

"No~ I missed it this morning..."

Defal asked with curiosity: "What is said in the news? Is it your cooperation?"

"Yes~"

"Last night's parade..."

Mikhail, who knew almost all the blind box sales plans, told Difar what happened last night.

The more Defar listened, the more surprised and interesting he became. .

"Well~ David's plan is really... creative~"

"interesting!"

Mikhail saw the change in Difar's meaning from his expression, and continued with a smile on his lips.

"I'm going to hold a cocktail party at home in a few days. Can you come to it?"

"Okay~"

After the two agreed to meet again, Defal happily walked out of the private room.

Mikhail walked back to his old position, stroking the telescope with his fingers, and a new plan slowly emerged in his mind.

----

New Jersey.

da security company.

After going to New York last night to relax and have fun, the soldiers in the entire base were in a good mood ~

The four people gathered in the office, Lawrence, Cohen, Jackal, and Rambo, were not feeling relaxed at this moment.

Lawrence raised his hand to shake the cigarette and said first: "Last night, we were lucky that the two bombings did not happen."

“We won’t say what the police will do for now~”

"If they did explode on the streets of Manhattan, we had absolutely no emergency plan in place!"

"Guys, this kind of luck will not always fall on us!"

"Let's think about it first, how to formulate some action plans for us to deal with accidents and emergencies~"

Among the four, Cohen, who once held the highest official position in the army, nodded in agreement.

"you're right!"

“However, we don’t have the experience or expertise in this field~”

"This... emergency plan should be from the FBI, New York Police, or... the National Guard is more professional, right?"

Cohen said, looking at Jackal and Rambo.

Rambo smiled crookedly, spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me, I can't!"

The jackal also chuckled and said, "Like him, I am very good at killing~"

"This kind of thing, it turns out that in the army, it's all the work of the combat staff, right?"

"Nonsense! Do we have a staff here?"

"Besides, why do we have a general staff? Occupy New York?"

"Hahaha~ ok~"

"You two have a headache, let's go watch those lazy bad boys training~"

The jackal pulled Rambo, and the two ran away without taking away any trouble~

Cohen and Lawrence were left staring at each other for a while. Lawrence scratched his head and said, "Hey~ let's go to New York."

"This matter must be settled today~"

"Otherwise we will encounter similar accidents in the future and be caught off guard, which will inevitably cause casualties."

Cohen stopped smiling and nodded seriously: "Go ahead, I support you!"

"But... I want to see the mercenary team's training first, so I won't go to New York~"

Lawrence pondered for a moment and sighed: "Well... Then I'll have lunch first and then go~"

"Haha~ok!"
