Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

Manhattan.

The weather is sunny in the afternoon.

Many people who work at night get out of bed one after another ~

Ludy Sidrich led Alto and Rosenlow out of a five-story building on East 26th and stood on the street and said.

"Alto, are you sure of the information you got?"

"Ok!"

Alto took out cigarettes from his pocket, distributed them to the two of them and said, "These days, I have contacted my college classmates in California many times~"

"They all said that in San Francisco and Los Angeles, many people with a lot of money have bought the latest video recorders and a lot of video tapes."

"Especially the business of the newly opened small video rental and sales stores has become very prosperous~"

Alto handed the lighter in his hand to Rosenlow, blew out a cloud of smoke, and said with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"With the addition of video recorders and videotapes, they have even changed the format of weekend and holiday parties..."

"A few videotapes + a few friends + pizza, coke, beer + a few small packets of cocaine or leaf cigarettes..."

"They can stay at home and play for a whole day...or even a few days~"

"Hehe~"

"Times are really changing ~ Ludy!"

Lu Di put one hand in his pocket and looked up at the small building where the three of them had just come out. "Sometimes... I don't understand what the judgments in David's brain plan are based on~"

"However, this time...it seems that he was right again!"

"Yes~"

Alto shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay~ Do you have anything else to do?"

"I have to catch a plane later!"

"Um.."

Ludi glanced at "Wooden Man" Rosenlow, shook his head helplessly and said: "This time you go to Naples, Italy, to talk to David Romano about cooperation, remember not to talk nonsense~"

"Listen more, think more, talk less! Got it?"

"I know~"

"Where's the list the old tailor gave you? Have you brought it with you?"

"Well~ At home, my mother has already packed it into my suitcase for me~"

"..ok~"

"Five days!"

"No matter what you talk about over there, you have to come back before David gets engaged!"

"ok, ok!"

Alto raised his hands to Ludy and said with a smile: "You know what? My mother is not even bothered by you..."

"fxxx!"

"Go away!"

"Hahahaha~"

. . .

Alto is gone.

Ludy and Rosenlow also drove toward downtown.

on the way.

When the two people's car stopped at an intersection and waited for a red light, Rosenlow suddenly pointed to a few people on the street in front of him and said to Lu Di.

"look!"

Ludy looked along Rosenlow's finger~

I saw a short and stocky black guy on the street in the distance, violently kicking several black guys who were lying on the ground with their heads in their hands. .

"Ha~ What a coincidence!"

"His...what's his name?"

"Mike Tyson!"

"Oh...yes, yes!"

"He's the one who loves to raise pigeons..."

"Hehe~"

"Shall we go and have a look?"

"What are you looking at him for?"

Lu Di glanced at the traffic light, waved his hand and said, "Let's go~"

"..Um!"

Rosenlow rolled down some of the windows, put the car into gear, and let the car slowly pass by Mike Tyson, as if he wanted to hear what the black guy who was kicking someone was saying. .

"@#￥……"

"fxxxyou!"

"@#￥＠#%..."

"..."

Ludy tilted his head and glanced at Mike Tyson, who was spouting all kinds of curse words, and joked to Rosenlow: "This kid always looks gloomy~"

"I didn't expect that he has the talent to curse others?"

"Hahahaha~"

Rosenlow, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at the rearview mirror on the right, slowly put pressure on his feet, and accelerated forward.

evening.

Manhattan.

40th Street, Da Company’s small building.

Five floors.

Polly sat behind the desk, rubbing her forehead vigorously, trying to relieve the pain~

The construction company's internal auditing and personnel rectification work has finally come to an end today.

Nearly half of middle managers were laid off, and nearly one in three workers were laid off. .

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a strain on one’s muscles and bones~

. . .

at the door.

Andy and Sally, who came over to work overtime with Polly today, opened the door and walked in together~

The rosy-faced Sally Albaugh walked up behind Polly and helped her massage her head while smiling.

"The work is never done..."

"Do you want to be a workaholic?"

"Haha~" Polly smiled bitterly but said nothing.

Andy smiled and sat down opposite Polly and put down two folders.

"The heads of DA advertising agency, Paige Olson and Rendry Norris, both called today~"

"what did they say?"

Andy pointed to the folder and replied: "Christmas is next weekend~"

"They want to announce next Monday, which is No. 18... who is the winner!"

"Oh?"

Polly half-opened her eyes and asked curiously: "Among them...who won?"

"Lendry Norris!"

"The team he led has created a profit of more than 77 yuan for da advertising company in recent months."

"The team led by Paiqi Olson had slightly worse results, with a profit of less than 68 yuan."

Andy smiled with admiration: "The advertising industry is really profitable!"

"In less than half a year, the two of them earned more than 140 million yuan in profits for the company."

"Hehe~"

Polly raised her hand and held Sally. After thanking her with a smile, she took a deep breath and shook her head: "If David hadn't helped bring in the advertisement for Tiffany Jewelry + Coke Company, and the phrase "Shit Happens" Advertising stickers..."

"The two of them can't make so much money just based on their working ability!"

"Yes~"

Andy smiled and took out a yellow round sticker from his pocket, put it in front of Polly and said with a smile: "You forgot! There is also this!"

"...Hahahaha~"

Polly picked up the yellow round sticker, looked at the smiling face on it, and couldn't help laughing and said: "That's right!"

"We have obtained the trademark rights for this thing~"

"Next summer, there will be all kinds of clothes with smiley faces on the streets of New York!"

"Hahaha~"

Sally took Eddie's arm, and the two laughed together with Polly~

. . .

After half an hour.

Polly walked out of the company building with a tired face, waved to Mike Bai who drove over to pick her up, and smiled.

"Are you back?"

"Ok!"

"Have you met Miranla's family?"

"seen!"

"How are they...?"

"Haha~ It's just an ordinary family, nothing special!"

Polly sat in the back seat, looked at Mike Bai in the driver's seat in the rearview mirror, and joked.

"Where are her two sisters?"

"Like Mirala... Are you smart and beautiful?"

"Hehe~"

Mike Bai held the steering wheel, looked forward, and said with a smile: "If the three sisters were as smart and beautiful as Miranla...that kid David would definitely be shocked!"

"Hahaha~"

"...!!?" Polly narrowed her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Mike Bai quickly glanced at the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "They are not beautiful~ but they are all smart!"

"..Um!"

"You...really want to sponsor them to study in college?"

"..."

"Do you want to tell David about this?"

"..."

"I think... it's better to tell him! What do you think?"

Polly turned to look out the window and whispered: "You can say that... I'm very happy~"

"At least you haven't forgotten who your boss is!"

"Hey hey hey~"

Mike Bai smiled proudly: "You are the boss's wife!"

"Boss...don't I have to listen to you?"

"..Haha~"

Polly showed a smile and raised her middle finger to Mike Bai. .

Mike Bai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the smile on his face became stronger: "Hey~"

"Look... the festival is coming soon~"

"Is it... also giving us some holiday bonuses?"

"..Um?"

Polly snorted.

Mike Bai saw that she showed no signs of losing her temper. .Then he smiled and tried: "I...hehe~"

"I saw in the bar... Erica, she has no plans to go home for the holidays..."

"so.."

"You have a crush on Erica?"

"..ah~"

Polly crossed her arms in front of her chest, glanced sideways at the driver's seat, and said with a smile, "Okay!"

"As long as you announce this to everyone in the bar, I will give you a big red envelope!"

"real!?"

"..."

"fxxx!"

"Hahahaha~"

"I... will go talk to her later!"

"..."

Mike Bai excitedly turned on the radio and found a music station that was playing a song. He twisted back and forth happily to the rhythm of the song. .

Polly felt a little unable to see his "ugly" way of celebrating. She turned her head and looked at the night outside the window, with a smile on her lips.

----

Queens, Flushing.

Tom Hanks, who came to New York from California and temporarily worked in a nightclub, asked his old friend in the bedroom while washing up in the bathroom.

"Hey~ are you going home for the holidays next week?"

"Uh...no!" Hanks' old friend buried his head in the pillow and muttered like he was dreaming.

Tom Hanks stopped moving his hands and asked curiously: "Then why are you staying in New York?"

"...Of course it's to make money!"

"Oh.."

"On Christmas and New Year's Day, the nightclub where I work is also short of people..."

"But I miss the kids and Samantha~"

"So, I'm going to take the flight back to California on Tuesday!"

"...Oh~"

Tom Hanks wiped his cheeks dry with a towel, walked to the bedroom door, and said to his old friend: "After the New Year, I plan to... bring Samantha and the children to New York..."

"what do you think?"

"...What?"

"You want to bring them over to live with me?"

"Um...no..."

"I want to rent a small apartment in a neighborhood in Queens close to Manhattan~"

"rent?"

"You want to move away from me?"

"...Yes~"

Tom Hanks watched his old friend roll over and sit up in bed, and smiled: "Thank you, man!"

"Without your shelter and help, I might not be in New York..."

"You...won't be angry with me, right?"

"fxxx!"

"Why should I be angry?!"

"Hahahaha~"

"When your wife comes to New York, I have another place where I can make a living~ It's not too late for me to be happy!"

"Uh..." Tom Hanks was speechless.

The old friend burst out laughing and jumped up from the bed, hugged him and kissed him a few times, and said with a smile: "You are always bragging these days... Samantha's cooking skills are great ~ she made apple pie..."

"fxxx!"

"Tom! I can't wait!"

"How about... you just take them over and let's spend the holidays together in New York?"

"How about it?"

"..." Tom Hanks twitched the corners of his mouth a few times and forced a smile.

"Well... we also plan to spend Christmas with Samantha's family..."

"I have a stable job and income here in New York, and I haven't had time to share this good news with them..."

"so.."

"Oh..." My old friend seemed to have been drenched by a basin of cold water, and he instantly withered~

"Okay~"

"Tom, you're right!"

"Christmas is originally a holiday for family reunions..."

"..."

Seeing his old friend's disappointed look, Tom Hanks opened his mouth to say something. .But I don’t know how to comfort him~

Tom Hanks, who valued the friendship between the two very much, felt regretful for a while. .

. . .

ten minutes later.

Tom Hanks stood neatly dressed in the living room and shouted in the direction of the bedroom.

"I'm going to work!"

"...Oh~"

"What would you like to eat tomorrow morning?"

"Whatever~"

"Ok!"

. . .

Downstairs, on the street.

Hanks turned his head and looked at the lights coming on upstairs, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Tom Hanks, formerly known as Thomas Hanks.

He became obsessed with acting in college and learned some basic and elementary acting-related knowledge.

After graduation, he married his female classmate Samantha Lewis, gave birth to two children, and became a father early.

But in real life, he was forced to make a living and came to New York to try his luck with his old friend. .

Now, he had a very stable income, and when he wanted to reunite and share it with his family, he hit something that his old friend had never mentioned. .Scar~

----

Manhattan.

Gold Coin Hotel, fourth floor.

Odis Parker placed the two checks he had written in front of the three people nicknamed Longhorn, Dragonfly and Gardener, and said with a smile.

"I have already arranged where your family will go~"

"They will go to London, England first. My friends in MI[-] will help them solve the nationality issue."

"Then next year, let them come to the United States to solve the problem of permanent residency."

"As for where you want to place your family... I don't care, you can do whatever you want~"

"There's just one thing I need to remind you of!"

"This is the United States!"

"Understand?"

The middle-aged beetles and dragonflies nodded slowly and picked up the check in front of them.

Dragonfly held the check in her hand, turned her head and glanced at the gardener beside her, and asked in a gentle voice unique to women.

"I want them to go to California, is that okay?"

"Of course ~ this is your freedom!"

"..Thanks!"

"Hehe~"

Otis Parker picked up a cut cigar, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, looked at the gardener and the beetle, and asked.

"What about you? Have you thought about it?"

"..Not yet~"

"ok~"

"This matter is not urgent ~ let me know at any time when you have thought about it."

The middle-aged man Longniu nodded silently and put away the check in his hand.

The gardener, who was only sixty years old, put the check on the table with a smile and pushed it back to Odis Parker: "Please save it for me~"

"I won't be able to use it yet..."

"it is good!"

Odis Parker rubbed the cigar in his hand and motioned to the dragonfly and beetle.

After the two left, he asked the gardener: "Your family...?"

"Ok!"

"As long as I bring my grandson to New York~"

"Other people...I never want to see them again~"

"Haha~ Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

Otis Parker nodded slowly, picked up the match, lit the cigar, and said quietly.

"Elena Mesa is also going to London, England."

"I want you to go...hold her steady!"

"stable?"

"What's up with her?"

"You want to know?"

The gardener was dumbfounded for a few seconds, smiled and shook his head: "No! I don't want to know~"

"Ok!"

"David wants to see her in London~"

"Your mission is to keep her in London!"

"Uh.. Got it!"

"Any thing else?"

"No more~"

"When do I leave?"

"The sooner the better!"

"Then... I'll take the flight tonight!?"

"Yes! Contact us anytime!"

. . .

The gardener is gone too.

Otis Parker stood up, walked slowly to a globe, and turned it around with his fingertips.

"Bell bell~"

The phone rang~

Odis turned around and picked up the microphone, listened for a few seconds, and then said.

"Hello~"

"Yeah~ I know!"

"We already told you the last time we talked on the phone that the boss wants to see you."

"Where are you?"

"..impossible!"

"He's not going there!"

"Um.."

"You... hurt your nose?!"

"...Okay~"

"I'll arrange the time and place, and let you know when I've chosen it!"

"ok~"

. . .

Putting down the phone, Odis Parker had an interesting smile on his face.

This Kalu, who has been troubled by Shen Fei for many years, has become even more serious now. .Are you timid?

Could it be that. .Was he also infected by David?

"Hehe~"

Odis Parker took a puff of his cigar, walked behind the table and sat down, and began to think about it in his mind.

----

a new day.

new York.

JFK International Airport, Queens.

In the morning light, a large private plane flying from the island nation of Tokyo slowly parked on the tarmac.

Everyone who had been waiting for a long time walked up to the front of the hanging staircase and bowed to the people who were walking down slowly.

ten minutes later.

A convoy of six cars left JFK International Airport.

on the way.

Hoichiro Yasuda of the Yasuda family asked his friend Toshiki Wada who was sitting next to him.

"What time do we have an appointment with Kihara Nobunari?"

"Nine-thirty a.m.!"

"Um.."

"You can go see him for me later~ I won't see him today."

Toshiki Wada glanced at the driver in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Mitsubishi Bank sent people over in a hurry this time... they must have gotten more accurate information!"

"Should we also go home immediately...?"

There was a hint of worry on Yasuda Fengichiro's face, and he nodded: "Yes~"

"Another crisis... is coming!"

Wada Toshiki saw that he was only half-sentence and stopped talking. .I can only choose to shut up and remain silent~

Toshiki Wada thinks he has fulfilled his duties as a staff member~

As for the decisions and choices of the Yasuda family, it is not something that a small person like him can influence. .
