Manhattan Reborn 1978

new day~

new York.

Manhattan, 42nd Street, upstairs at Wildfire Bar.

David handed the skipping rope to the housekeeper Acklade, wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked towards the bedroom with a smile, and asked.

"Did someone call just now?"

"No~"

"Oh.."

"It seems that they all slept well last night!"

"Haha~" Butler Acklade chuckled twice, stopped in the living room and watched David walk into the bedroom.

. . .

last night.

David, Giles, Bloomer, Pine and others chatted on the top floor until nearly midnight before leaving~

Although the butler Aclade did not appear in everyone's sight. .

But he has always been standing in the corridor, always paying attention to the service needs that people may have at any time~

Therefore, he also heard a lot from Pine's story about how troubled the entire Morgan family and the old Morgan couple were by the unexpected "romance" between Lilith and Laura. .

. . .

breakfast time.

David, Susan, and Cui Yingying were chatting in low voices while eating breakfast~

Lilith and Laura wore nightgowns of the same style and color and walked out of the bedroom hand in hand.

"Hi~ Good morning! Little lazy boy~"

"Humph~" Laura, with wet hair, sat at the dining table with her lips lowered and her head lowered without speaking~

David didn't understand the emotions of this "little tail", so he turned to Lilith and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"..."

Lilith explained with an apologetic smile on her face: "She's just... a little angry~"

"Oh~"

David deliberately made a long note, smiled and changed the subject and asked: "Grace said last night that you have friends coming over today?"

"Ok!"

Lilith picked up the tableware and explained with a smile to Susan and Cui Yingying: "Giles' fiancée Kylena Rockefeller and my good friend Almin Mellon will come over today~"

"Elmin? I haven't seen it, have I?"

"Yes~"

"She has been with her mentor for the past six months and went to Egypt for archaeology..."

"Egyptian Pyramids?"

"Ok!"

"Ah...oh~"

David thought about all the information related to the pyramids and Egypt in his mind, and suddenly thought of a person!

The second president of the Republic of Egypt, Nasser, known as the "Tiger of the Nile". . !

There is also Nasser's successor, the "Avenger" Sadat, who personally fired the first shot of the Fourth Middle East War!

If we say, Nasser is the most ruthless person in Egypt in the past century. .

Then his former political advisor and presidential successor Sadat was a more ruthless and smarter werewolf than him~

Because President Sadat, under the invitation and auspices of US President Warren White, signed the "Camp David Agreement" with the President of Israel a few months ago to peacefully resolve the Middle East issue in the future. .

Emm. .

Regardless of the cause and outcome of the war, just talking about Sadat's continuous operations in the past few years, David had to give him a thumbs up ~

Do weak and small countries have diplomacy?

There's a fart!

. . .

David held the tableware in his hand, pulled his thoughts back, and asked Lilith: "Is Almin majoring in archeology?"

"She participated in the archaeological activities of the pyramids?"

"Yes~"

Lilith put a peeled banana in Laura's plate, wiped her hands and said with a smile: "Elmin's father is one of the sponsors of this scientific expedition..."

"So, she can have the opportunity to follow her mentor up close and enter the pyramid?"

"No no no~"

"They can't enter the pyramid..."

"The Egyptian government won't let you in..."

"However, they seem to have found something in a place called the Valley of the Kings, and are applying to the Egyptian government for a scientific research excavation job~"

"Ah~"

David chewed the muscles in his mouth, turned to look at Susan and Cui Yingying, and asked, "Do you think the pyramids were made by aliens?"

"Uh... I don't know~" Susan and Cui Yingying shook their heads cooperatively.

"Hahahaha~"

David asked Laura again: "What about you? Do you think the pyramids were made by the Egyptians thousands of years ago?"

"I don't think so!" Laura took a bite of the banana and said with certainty.

"Oh? Why?"

"Hehe~"

"Elmin once told me that each of the large square bricks on the pyramid weighs several tons... or even dozens of tons~"

"Thousands of years ago, those Pharaohs used tens of thousands of Egyptians and spent decades, but they couldn't create it, right?"

"This is completely impossible!"

"..." David smiled mysteriously and changed the subject.

"Today, I will prepare some things at home that may be used tomorrow~"

"Lilith, later I will ask Zina and my secretary Maggie to lead a few people to attend tomorrow's engagement ceremony with you."

"Okay!" Lilith answered very simply~

Because she never expected to be able to hold it again in this life. .It’s a wedding~

Being engaged to David, for her, means getting married to Laura next to her!

. . .

after breakfast.

David walked into the study alone, closed the door, lay down on the three-seat sofa, and began to lose his mind ~

When he mentioned aliens to a few people at the dinner table, his mind flashed back to the embarrassment he felt every day when he first came to this world a few months ago. .

Now, he is sure~

In this world, there is no Stark Industries, no Wayne family in Gotham City, no Umbrella Corporation (protective umbrella), no MNU Corporation (the villain company in the movie "District [-]"), no OPC Corporation (the movie "Robotic Warfare"). The villain company in "Police"). .

But now he is still not sure. .What exactly is in the pyramid?

In this world, there is Lavis in "Taxi Driver"; there is Andy and Red Sr. in "The Shawshank Redemption"; there is Forrest Gump, Jenny and Lieutenant Dan in "Forrest Gump". .

There will still be. .what?

Skynet?

Pacific Rim?

Comet hitting the earth?

2012?

independence Day?Vampire vs werewolf?

Transformers?

There is one inside the Egyptian pyramid. .An ancient sun-destroying machine?Or a mummy waiting for the "destined person"?

David suddenly felt very upset and slapped his forehead, trying hard to stop himself from thinking nonsense. .

If you scare yourself, you will die!

Emm. .

He got up from the sofa and found the guest list that Pine had left last night on the table, intending to study it first and change his mind. .

Last night~

The old money families in Boston mentioned by Pine, such as the Cobot family, the Forbes family, the Adams family, etc., are still in the east. .Even families with strong domestic and international power and influence will send people to attend the engagement ceremony tomorrow~

However, they are very different from the Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Morgan, Mellon, DuPont, McCormick, Carnegie and other wealthy families. .

As Pine said, they are all descendants of the Puritans who escaped from the European empires. .

They have accumulated a lot of wealth through generations of unremitting efforts in business~

The younger generation within these families began to imitate the ancient European nobility, marrying each other, investing in each other, silently delineating class stratification, separating themselves from the "ordinary poor people", forming a relatively A closed upper-class social circle in Boston to prevent outsiders from stealing wealth~

David put down the guest list in his hand, a smile appeared on his lips, and he speculated without any malice. .

If what Pine said was a movie or a plot in a novel~

This group of rich second and third generations living in a closed social circle will definitely have feuds with rich families competing for family property~

Or there are some unlearned guys who lose all their money at the gambling table and can only lose the family business without telling their family until they finally fall into madness and die in tears of regret. .

Or maybe some outsider, after seeing the hypocrisy and indifference of the so-called "upper class" circles in Boston, sneered at them in his heart, but kept the same hypocritical smile on his face. .

Later, he used his conspiracy and methods to cause an ancient family to fall apart, his wife and children were separated, and his family was destroyed. He had the last laugh. .

. . .

David looked embarrassed, pointed at the center of his eyebrows with his finger, and shook his head with a wry smile.

all these are. .A history that does not exist ~

He began to think wildly again. .

Because no country in the world hates the rich second generation as much as the Americans. .

The hatred of the rich among the poor in the United States is engraved in their bones. .

Just like what was shown in Hollywood movies after movies became popular mass entertainment, the poor suddenly awakened to the true meaning of life after going through several ups and downs, regained their composure and earned a lot of wealth. .Or marry the goddess in your heart ~

But those are all stories made up by screenwriters, just see the effect~

The real descendants of old money families are restrained by their families with very strict traditional tutoring + generally have received higher education + the surrounding environment is relatively closed + they live a conservative, rigid and sophisticated lifestyle. .

Among the new generation of young people, there are few prodigal sons like those shown in the movies. .

At least among the old money families in Boston, Pine didn't say which family had a "once-in-a-hundred-year" "genius" ~

In particular, Pine mentioned the Lowells, Cobots, Adamses and Forbes!

In 1812, Francis F. Lowell, who was visiting relatives in England, was the first businessman to bring textile machines to the United States.

Among the descendants of the Lowell family, businessman Percival Lowell served as an interpreter for national diplomatic missions, traveled to many countries in the world, and finally devoted himself to the study of astronomy. .

In 1894, he funded the establishment of the Lowell Observatory, the earliest observatory in the United States~

His tombstone is erected not far from the observatory~

To this day, many people who visit the observatory pass by him every year ~

In 1930, 14 years after Percival's death, Clyde Temple, who was working at the observatory, discovered Pluto here and established the system of nine planets in the solar system. .

Also, Amy Lowell was one of the most outstanding female poets in the United States in the early 19th century and one of the representatives of the Imaginationist school. .

In 1926, her love poems for female lovers won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry ~

Cobot family~

Hugh Cobot is considered one of the founders of modern urology.

James Elliot Cobot is a famous American philosopher, poet and writer ~

James's son, Richard Clark Cobot, was a famous hematologist and medical educator. .

The business heir to both families, Godfrey Lowell Cobot, is world-famous for his generous funding of optoelectronics research at MIT. .

The investment of these funds has allowed MIT to be at the forefront of scientific research in the world in the study of photochemistry and electrothermal effects~

Forbes family~

This goes without saying. .

Almost most Americans have heard of or read Forbes magazine~

The Addams Family, not to mention~

John Adams’ name is still on the Declaration of Independence!

From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, these old money families in Boston produced a large number of scientists, artists, philosophers, writers, medical scientists, etc. ~

The Cobot, Lowell, Forbes and other families are still major funders of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston Symphony Orchestra No. [-], and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston~

Moreover, they did not display their family names in public like the Rockefeller, Mellon, Carnegie and other families. .

But if someone looks through the board of directors lists of these institutions, they will find these surnames that have been forgotten by most people~

. . .

"Hush~huh~"

David picked up the guest list again and gained some new understanding of the old money families written down above through Pine's patient introduction and explanation~

The Boston Consortium is the oldest consortium in the United States, and it was also the most financially powerful consortium in the United States, bar none!

But with the development of the times, except for Forbes and Cobot, who are occasionally mentioned by people, the remaining old money families have slowly disappeared from the sight of ordinary people~

They are university professors, scientists, doctors, archaeologists, artists, and more. .

Because the existing generations of these families have all lived a "dream" life of a lot of time + countless wealth since childhood~

Growing up in such a family, they have rich knowledge and broad horizons. .

How to find their own value and how to freely control their lives is what they are most concerned about~

Therefore, most of them choose to devote themselves to art, science, etc., which can be their lifelong career~

I have to say, reincarnation. .It is also a profound knowledge!

In addition to reincarnation, life-changing opportunities are available to ordinary people. .There are only a handful of them!

Once you encounter it and catch it, you will soar to the sky~

If you ignore or miss it, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life!

But who can guarantee that when the opportunity is in front of them? .Are you sure you can make the right choice?

hehe~

. . .

With a slightly self-deprecating smile on his face, David stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the small snowflakes flying outside the window and let out a sigh of relief~

He has always been a little timid, not just because this is a movie world with an "unknown future"~

And because there is almost no difference between this place and the real world he lived in!

Father David Sr., Mother Sierra, Malkin Sr., Polly, Ludy, Susan, and Yingying Cui. .

Old Morgan, old David, old Norton, old Cherov. .

Forrest, Jenny, Lavis, Andy, Old Red, Lieutenant Dan. .

These people are all very real living around us~

Therefore, every move David takes to change the history in his memory may cause a butterfly effect with unknown consequences!

When you don’t have it, you long to have it~

When you have it, you are afraid of losing it~

Human nature is so "greedy"!

David felt that of course he could not be "exempt from vulgarity". .

But at tomorrow's engagement ceremony, how can we please guests from all walks of life. .Do you all feel "brightened"?

This is a big problem that is “difficult to agree upon”!

----

Washington, District of Columbia.

President Warren White was sitting in a lounge, silently waiting for the TV broadcast. .

After a few minutes.

The screen on the TV changed, and the host introduced the latest news that had just been received.

"The diplomatic spokesman of Iran's King Pahlavi II officially announced it at a press conference held at 16:30 this afternoon, Tehran time~"

"Iran will completely stop oil trade exports on the 26th of this month."

"By then, there will be a demand gap of more than 500 million barrels in the international crude oil market!"

“This number accounts for about 5% of the world’s total daily oil demand~”

"The last oil crisis is still fresh in my mind..."

"This time, if Iran stops oil exports... will it trigger another crisis sweeping the world?"

"Let's hear it..."

. . .

"fxxx!"

President Warren White, who was alone in the room, couldn't help but whisper a curse word. .

The situation he least expected to see finally broke out~

Is this Murphy's Law?

When things get bad, there are bound to be worse problems to come! ?

Emm. .

President White pressed the remote control in his hand and turned off the TV.

He got up and walked to a small table. He stared at the phone and thought about it for a while, but couldn't make a call~

Who should I call at this time?say what?What kind of answer are you going to get?

He needs to think carefully!

If you make a mistake once, there may be a chance to make amends ~

If you make the same mistake again and again, how can you fix it?

----

Washington.

On the east side of Farragut Square, in a separate room of a private club.

Mag Ludwig and Janet Patrick quietly read all the news reports and looked at each other silently. They could no longer restrain their excitement and excitement, and laughed and hugged each other~

"Hahahaha~"

"King Pahlavi, you did a great job!!"

"Hahahaha~"

Mag's mouth was full of "nonsense" and he "praised" the king who was thousands of miles away ~

Janet saw him jumping all over the floor with excitement like a "little boy", and she couldn't help but feel happy for her lover from the bottom of her heart!

While gently rubbing her lower abdomen with her hand, she said to Mag, who was screaming strangely: "This time, they..."

"No!"

“It was boss David’s prediction that made us win the bet!”

"Hahahaha~ That's right!"

Mager waved his fist in the air continuously, as if he was beating someone's "hateful face", and laughed.

"Not only did we win the bet... but we also prepared a big gift for the boss's engagement ceremony tomorrow!"

"Oh?"

"What gift is it?" Janet asked curiously.

Mag waved his hands in a mysterious manner and said with a smile: "You will know tomorrow!"

"I... I'll go out for a while. Can you take care of lunch yourself?"

"Okay~ Where's dinner? You too..."

"No! I'll be back with you for dinner, and then we'll go back to New York together!"

Mag exuded strong confidence and momentum. He shook his sleeves casually, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Family, God, boss..."

"No!"

"My family and my boss will be my whole life from now on!"

"God... let him go to hell!"

"Hahaha~"

. . .

The "high-spirited" Ma Ge is gone~

Janet smiled and shook her head slightly, picked up the TV remote control again to amplify the sound, and slowly regained her composure after reading what the host and the invited expert said in the news.

Can this news change? .What about history?

Janet felt that she didn’t know either~

But its explosiveness and negative influence did not make Janet suspicious at all~

However, whose plans or goals will be fulfilled by the crisis that may break out again this time?

David Coleman, definitely one to count!
