Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

It was approaching midnight.

Manhattan.

Central Park East, 875th floor, 15 Fifth Avenue, home of Mag Ludwig and Janet Patrick.

"Bell bell~"

"Bell bell~"

A continuous ringing of the phone made the two people who had just fallen asleep frown.

Mag cursed a few words in his mind, gently let go of Janet in his arms, picked up the nightgown, put it on, and walked out of the bedroom quickly.

in the study.

Mag picked up the phone and said with a hint of impatience: "Hello~"

"Mag?"

"it's me.."

"Hey~ man, we are having a party!"

"You're not asleep yet, are you? Come over and play together!"

"..."

Ma Ge held the table with one hand, his eyes immediately became clearer, and he pretended to be even more impatient and replied: "Did you... drink too much and take drugs again?"

"I'm not going~"

"Hey hey hey~" The person on the other side of the phone said with a "slow" and "crazy" smile in his voice.

"Okay~"

"Anyway, we don't plan to sleep tonight..."

"When did you change your mind? When did you call me~"

"..."

Mag Ludwig put down the phone in silence, walked to the window with a frown, looked at the dark Central Park under the night, and recalled quickly in his mind. .

After ten minutes.

Mag, who had changed into an ordinary going out outfit, walked into the bedroom quietly and kissed Janet who was sleeping.

"Huh...?" Janet, who was in a dazed state, moved her body and asked in a low voice.

"What...are you going out?"

"Hmm~"

"When are you coming back?"

"Tomorrow~ I'm going to Washington!"

Janet opened her eyes, blinked a few times, and asked with confusion: "What happened?"

"No~"

"You mustn't lie to me!"

Mag was amused and laughed, shook his head and said: "It's just an old friend who I haven't seen for many years and wants to catch up with me."

"Old friend?"

"Do you have any old friends that I don't recognize...?"

Janet obviously didn't want to believe his lame excuse and wanted to sit up and "cross-examine" him carefully.

Seeing that she was about to get up, Ma Ge quickly held her shoulders and explained with a smile: "When you left New York a few days ago, I contacted some old friends to prepare for your agreement to join Wood's campaign advisory team~ "

"The phone call just now was part of the agreement between him and me."

"For him to call so late, something must have happened in Washington..."

"Washington? What could happen?"

"Um...I don't know anything yet~"

Janet tilted her head, looked at Mag for a few seconds, stroked his cheek with her hand and said, "You know... I'm pregnant these days..."

"I understand!" Mag kissed Janet deeply twice more, comforted her and lay down again, stayed with her for a while, and then slowly exited the bedroom with her even breathing.

Manhattan, upstairs at Wildfire Bar on 42nd Street.

in the living room.

Susan hammered her shoulders a few times with her hand, shook her head and smiled at her best friend, Sweet Dimple Martha.

"I'll ask Aclade to bring some temporary maids to the bar tomorrow to do a general cleaning!"

"You, Erica and Madonna, get up in the afternoon and hang up the Christmas decorations we bought today..."

"Okay~ You've already told me this several times, aren't you annoying~!?"

"..."

Sweet-dimple Martha put her arm around Susan's shoulders, glanced at Cui Yingying who was preparing tomorrow's breakfast in the kitchen, and asked in a low voice.

"Where's our boss?"

"Why didn't you see him?"

"He~ locked himself in the study after dinner, and he hasn't come out yet..."

"oh..?"

Martha turned her head and glanced at the closed study door, and joked with some regret: "Hey, since you became his girlfriend, he is no longer interested in even looking at me..."

"Hehe~"

"you.."

Just as Susan was about to "get mad" and teach this "evil-minded" best friend a lesson, there was a sound of opening the door from the direction of the bedroom.

Lilith was wearing a pink nightgown, a large towel around her head, and a dark yellow unknown skin care product on her face. She held a folder in her hand and walked towards the kitchen while waving to Susan and the two. , said with a smile.

"Hi~Martha!"

"Um...Hi, Lilith!"

"Susan, aren't you done yet? I've already finished taking a shower~ Come quickly too!"

"Ok!"

. . .

Sweet-dimple Martha stared intently at Lilith as she walked into the kitchen, and then watched as she returned to the bedroom with a glass of water in her hand. .

She took Susan's arm and asked in a low voice: "What does she mean??"

"Um..?"

"what happened?"

"She...is telling you to go to bed?"

"Yup!"

"Then... you two sleep together... where is David?"

Susan curled her lips with vigilance and disgust on her face: "Is it time for you to go to work?"

"fxxxyou!" Sweet Dimple Martha raised two middle fingers to her best friend. .

Susan folded her arms and smiled indifferently: "Haha~!"

"..."

. . .

Sweet Dimple Martha, gone~

in the kitchen.

After finishing all the preparations, Cui Yingying washed her hands, turned off the light, and when she walked out of the kitchen, she saw Susan still standing in the living room with her arms folded, like a sculpture. .

She stepped forward out of curiosity and asked, "Why don't you go and rest?"

Susan lowered her eyes, rubbed her belly with her hands, nodded and said, "Right away!"

"Well... you should go to bed early~"

"Okay!" Cui Yingying tilted her head and looked at Susan for a few seconds. After feeling that she was fine, she turned and walked towards her bedroom.

Susan looked at her back, bit her lip hard, and called out to her: "Yingying!"

"Um..?"

"David may not have any plans to take a break yet, I don't know when."

"How about you go to bed later and stay with him?"

"I..." Cui Yingying pointed to her nose in surprise.

Susan stepped forward, put her hands on her shoulders, nodded firmly and said, "Help me, can you?"

"...Okay!" Cui Yingying felt like she saw something in Susan's eyes. .I nodded and agreed~

Susan opened her arms, hugged Cui Yingying, and said in her ear: "We have a lot of things to do tomorrow... Don't sleep too late~"

Cui Yingying's body stiffened for a moment, and she opened her arms and said in Susan's ear with a smile: "I never thought about it..."

"I know!"

"Okay! I'm going to find Lilith~"

"Good night! Yingying~"

"..Good night!"

. . .

in the study.

David held his hands on the table, his eyes slowly swept over a dozen notebooks, and he let out a deep breath with a frown on his face.

In the afternoon, when Leslie came over, although he didn't say anything, his behavior and attitude had already made it clear to David. .A clear signal~

He, or Rockefeller, clearly knew that someone was going to short oil company stocks.

So. .This matter started to become more interesting and complicated~

David quickly found a short record in his notebook, and quickly read it for a while, then stood up straight and fell into deep thought. .

The words he said to Leslie were actually expressing his attitude and stance~

He wasn't trying to take advantage of the situation. .Or it means to step in and watch. .

Instead, I hope to take a multi-party stance and help Rockefeller stabilize the stock prices of related oil companies ~

But~

Leslie said: "I thought you wanted to play hedging between the long side and the short side~"

Emm. .

Hedge! ?

Maybe Leslie knew that David had arranged for Sam to start buying stocks of major domestic oil companies because he wanted to keep the stocks in his own hands~

Then, change hands and lend them out, using other people's hands to help short-selling? ?

. .wrong!

If combined with the news from Bernard Madoff, it seems that Saudi Prince Difar and the group of people standing behind him have no intention of concealing their intentions. .

this is a. .What game is it?

David found paper and pen from the table, walked to the sofa in the study and sat down. While writing down all the clues he got, he sorted out every possible connection from the beginning. .

Soon he filled up a piece of paper.

ten minutes later.

He wrote seven full sheets of paper~

David arranged them one by one in chronological order, and marked some key symbols and numerical numbers based on his own analysis and judgment.

Gradually, David stopped rubbing his chin with his fingers, stared at a clue, and felt a flash of inspiration in his mind~

Could it be that. .It was Rockefeller and. .Reached some private cooperation, supporting the stock price with one hand and holding the short side with the other?

After the stock price drops to a certain price, they will release the news of buying back the stock at the original price to increase their control over the company~?

Emm. .

David stood up quickly, walked to the desk, and rummaged through his notebook, but did not find the record he wanted. .

Standard Oil was broken up by antitrust laws. . !

Exxon in New Jersey, Mobil in New York, Chevron in California, as well as Gulf Oil and Texaco. . ?

Several leading companies in the U.S. domestic petroleum industry have all been labeled as Standard Oil~

It is only as time goes by that the shareholder composition of these companies becomes extremely complicated, causing many people to forget the original owners of these companies. . ?

"Hi~"

"wrong!!"

Suppose Rockefeller wanted to use another method to integrate the equity interests of these oil companies. .

The second oil crisis must be a God-sent opportunity!

But~

The United States today is not what it was a few decades ago when Old John was still alive~

They wanted to "revitalize" Standard Oil within the confines of "legality." .It's almost a joke~

Because they don’t know what will happen to the world in the next few years. .

"...!!!"

David quickly denied his "crazy" guess~

He quickly walked to the sofa and lay down, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. After calming down for a while, he slowly allowed himself to focus again~

A certain person or group cannot be controlled. .

Unless they have reached a tacit understanding in some aspects and are working together towards something that everyone is willing to see. .

So. .What about yourself?

I am a little shrimp, do you want to be "brave" and jump in?

Emm. .

Don't be impatient!

hold on!

There are still several important events that will affect the future international trend, which are coming~

. . .

David was lying on the sofa in the study room. He was in a daze and didn't know how much time had passed before he slowly sat up.

He changed for a while, stood up, locked all the notebooks and information in the safe, and then walked out of the study sleepily.

in the living room.

Cui Yingying, wearing a nightgown, is sitting next to a lamp reading a book~

When she saw David coming out of the study, she quickly put down the book in her hand, walked over quickly and asked softly: "What do you want to eat? What do you want to drink? Or do you want to go to bed?"

"No~"

David rubbed his dry eyes and asked curiously: "Are you still awake?"

"Um.."

"Susan asked me... to wait for you~"

"Susan?"

"She..." David pursed his lips and looked towards Lilith's room.

Cui Yingying held back her laughter and nodded: "Yes~"

"...Hey~"

"I don't know who I am looking for as my girlfriend..."

"..Haha~"

David looked at Cui Yingying who had "sympathy" in her smile, put his arms around her waist, kissed her quickly before she could react, and said with a smile.

"What about you? You can't bear to leave me alone, can you?"

"..." Cui Yingying's face turned red, she lowered her head slightly and stopped talking~

"Hahaha~"

David raised his eyebrows proudly: "Let's go~ I'll brush my teeth first! You go to the bedroom and wait for me~"

"..."

. . .

in the bedroom.

David quickly finished washing up, yawned, and closed the curtains. He walked to the bed and turned off the bedside lamp, took off his clothes, and got into bed. .

in the dark.

Cui Yingying was lying on her side stiffly, and suddenly she felt a pair of arms reaching out from behind~

David muttered: "Come closer~"

"..."

Cui Yingying silently adjusted her posture so that she could be held in David's arms.

David chuckled and kissed the back of his neck: "Go to sleep~ It's very late!"

"..Um!"

"uh-huh.."

David found a very comfortable position for himself, hugged Cui Yingying, his breathing slowly became steady and long, and he really fell asleep. .

Cui Yingying's body, which had been tense, relaxed with his breathing.

She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth coming from behind with her body, and a "charming" curve appeared at the corner of her mouth~

----

a new day.

Washington.

A glimmer of dawn from the east illuminated the buildings standing in the cold wind.

At the entrance of an apartment building near the National Botanical Garden, Mag Ludwig walked out with red eyes, stood on the street, looked around, and found his car.

30 yuan!

Two pieces of news!

This is all his efforts and gains last night~

PS:

I have to go to the hospital tomorrow morning to do some blood tests, so there will be less updates.

sorry~

I will have more to say later.
