Manhattan Reborn 1978

Southwest United States.

California.

Sunny morning ~

Club 39, North Bay, San Francisco.

Karnes's uncle, Schroeder F. Rothschild, followed one of the club's waiters into a lounge and sat down.

The waiter brought him a pot of tea and left.

Schrott poured himself a cup of tea with great interest, took a sip, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and smiled~

After about 10 minutes.

Karnes staggered in wearing a set of pajamas, sat down next to Schrott with a smile, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked.

"Didn't you rush to New York?"

"Hehe~"

"You also knew I was going to New York?"

"what!"

Kanes put down the tea cup without any image, leaned back on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I had a party too late~"

"So...hehe~"

Schroeder looked at Kanes's "playful smile" and showed no ambition, and sighed helplessly: "In the New Year, there will be a big party at home. Come back with me!"

"...Forget it~" Kanes hesitated slightly and shook his head.

"My appearance will make many people feel uncomfortable... Why bother?"

"..." Schroter was speechless.

He slowly put down the teacup, stood up, straightened his coat, and said, "You guys really want to invest in the gold market?"

Kanes's eyes flickered for a few times, and he nodded calmly: "Yes!"

"Then you haven't thought about... finding some helpers and agents?"

"Of course I've thought about it~ It's just... I don't have a particularly good candidate yet."

"people?"

"Hehe~"

Schroeter lowered his head slightly, looked at Karnes and smiled: "There is someone here in San Francisco you should consider!"

"..who?"

"Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud"

"Uh..." Kanes was a little confused when he heard the name.

Schroeter took out a piece of paper from his coat pocket, threw it to Kanes, and said with a smile: "Some things would be much easier if you had an agent to help you do it!"

"This tea tastes good. If you have any more, give it to me~"

"Okay!" Kanes put the note away with a smile, stood up and strode out of the room, called the waiter to explain a few words, turned to Schroter and smiled.

"Uncle, after you go to New York, will you come back?"

"What? Do you have something else to do?"

"No~"

"I just thought... David is going to Hawaii for vacation in a few days, and I also want to go and play together~"

"David? Hawaii?"

The David he met at the engagement ceremony appeared in front of Schroter's eyes, and he looked at Kanes strangely: "When did you start to be willing to approach strangers?"

"Stranger~?"

"Hahaha~ No, uncle!"

"We're friends!"

"..." Schroter paused for a few seconds with a hint of doubt in his eyes, then nodded slightly.

"Then go ahead~"

"But you must remember to call home on New Year's Eve!"

"There is someone... waiting for you!"

The expression on Kanes's face was a little stiff, and he took a breath and said, "I... will!"

"Ok!"

. . .

Sending Uncle Schroter off.

Kanes returned to his bedroom, lay down on the warm and soft bed again, stared at the ceiling, and was distracted~

In this way, he lay on the bed in a daze for more than half an hour, then slowly sat up, reached into his pocket and took out the small piece of paper, with a smirk on his lips.

"A down-and-out Saudi prince who lost his inheritance?"

"Hehe~"

"interesting!"

new York.

Lunch time~

Brooklyn, Brighton Beach.

Little Odessa, a bohemian restaurant.

Yuri Orlov drove his second-hand car, stopped on the street, and ran into the restaurant with fast strides.

in the restaurant.

Yuri Orlov, looking at the empty restaurant and his gloomy family, realized that they didn't seem to have said everything clearly on the phone just now. .

Yuri glanced at his dejected brother Vitaly, walked to his mother and sat down, took her hand and asked.

"What happened?"

Yuri's mother lowered her head, looked at her son's big hands, and said calmly: "It's all your father's fault...!"

"..??"

Yuri turned to look at his father who had a remorseful look on his face and asked, "What's going on?"

Yuri's father fiddled with the hat on the table and whispered: "I... went to the church a few days ago and bragged to people that you... found a very decent job on Wall Street, made a lot of money, and were lucky. I found Ava Fangtian as my girlfriend..."

"Forehead.."

Yuri suppressed laughter, scratched his forehead with his hand, and asked, "Is that all?"

"Ava, it's true that she can't get back until midnight today because of work~"

"So, she agreed to come over for dinner, so we can only postpone it for the time being~"

Yuri's father gently twirled the brim of his hat with his fingers, the look of self-blame on his face became more intense, and he whispered.

"This morning, someone called and claimed that 1 yuan must be prepared tomorrow..."

"Otherwise... we will attack you and Ava Fangtian..."

"what?"

Yuri frowned, sat closer to his father, and continued to ask: "Didn't you only mention it to people in church?"

"Why would someone call and blackmail me?"

Yuri's father lowered his head deeply and explained in a hoarse voice: "I thought at first... it was just a prank~"

"Later your mother reminded me that it would be better to ask around~"

"So I called a few old friends and asked around before I found out..."

"It is said... that one of the people who was in the church that day has a nephew who works in the Caribbean Club..."

"So that phone call should be... They found out that our family made a little fortune and wanted to..."

"Hi~"

Yurimeng took a deep breath and felt as sick as if he wanted to eat xx. .

. . .

Caribbean Club, this name has spread almost throughout Brighton Beach in the past two years~

Because in the club, they are all "Jewish elite talents" who immigrated from polar bear country in the past few years~

(The polar bear country will be changed to the big bear country from now on. Its little brother is called the second bear country. It is vivid and easy to remember.)

This group of "elites" used some unknown method to successfully obtain immigration approval from Xiong Daguo's prison and came to New York. .

Brighton Beach, which was relatively peaceful before, has become the "private place" of this group of "elites". .

And the behavior of this gang composed of "elites" is completely different from other gangs in New York!

They come to collect protection fees every day and have no concept of time~

Collect one at the beginning of the month, one in the middle of the month, and come back when you feel better at the end of the month to collect another. .

And their method of squandering the entire lake will certainly arouse the extreme dissatisfaction of many small businesses in Brighton Beach~

So, in the dead of night, they showed another "trump card"~

Destroy the door!

The whole family of the small shop owner who was the first to stand up against the evil deeds of the "elites" died in crazy revenge. .

Even his pet dog was not spared. .

This extremely cruel method of revenge has "immediate" results. .

Since then, no one has dared to openly criticize and criticize the evil deeds of this group of "elites"~

. . .

Inside the restaurant.

Yuri's mother, looking at her eldest son Yuri's frown, the sad look on her face slowly turned a little "determined"~

She gritted her teeth and looked around, then sighed in a low voice as if she was discouraged: "Let's leave New York today!"

"what?"

Yuri didn't hear what his mother said clearly, so he tilted his head and asked.

Yuri's mother supported the table with her hands, stood up, and said with all her strength: "Those people...are just inhuman vampires!"

"Even if we try our best to raise 1 yuan, they won't stop there."

The small fire in Yuri's chest suddenly burned into a ball of flame~

He stood up, put his hands on his mother's shoulders, and said as calmly as possible: "It's okay! We... will be okay!"

"You all stay home and don't go anywhere!"

"I'll go...find a way!"

Yuri's father looked at his son, opened and closed his mouth several times, but couldn't say anything.

Next to him, Vitaly, who had been lowering his head, seemed to remember something, and quickly asked his brother Yuri: "Do you want to go... to ask your boss for help?"

"boss?"

"Hehe~"

Yuri was reminded by his brother, and his mind, which was almost blinded by anger, quickly calmed down.

He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh and said: "My boss is very timid..."

"If you ask him to deal with this kind of thing, the most likely result is..."

When Yuri said this, he suddenly stopped~

He frowned and thought about it seriously, shook his head slightly and said, "There is no need to ask the boss for help on this matter."

"His bodyguards can help us solve this little trouble~"

"bodyguard?"

"Correct!"

Yuri nodded to his mother with sparkling eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry!"

"Restaurant, please let it open as usual first!"

"I'm going to find someone for help!"

"Vitaly, take care of mom and dad for me! Do you understand?"

"Oh.."

. . .

Yuri, let’s go~

Yuri's mother stood at the gate, looking at the shadow of the car in the distance. The jealousy and worry in her heart suddenly eased a lot.

The eldest son Yuri Orlov has grown up!

----

The Queen.

Malkin Sr.'s home.

The hostess Sena, along with her eldest daughter Manqi and her second daughter Polly, served an extremely sumptuous meal to the family of five consisting of old David, Sera, David, and Naike sisters.

in the restaurant.

After everyone took their seats, Old Malkin, as the man of the house, raised his wine glass to Old David and Sera and said with a smile.

"Christmas Eve is already over~"

"Tonight is Christmas Eve."

"So, I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance~"

"Happy New Year!"

"Hahaha~"

Everyone raised their wine glasses in the air, laughed and clinked them a few times, and the atmosphere became more relaxed and joyful.

After hearing the news about the visit of old David and his family today, Lu Di, who came here specially to "have a meal", put down his cup with a smile, glanced at Polly, who was sitting opposite David and was busy taking care of the children to eat, and said to old Malkin smiled.

"You just said it wrong!"

"Tonight is not Christmas Eve, it's carnival night!"

"In da nightclub, we have specially prepared a big lottery for the carnival night tonight~"

"The final grand prize is one thousand dollars in cash!"

"Lottery? Haha~"

Old Malkin held a fork in his hand, glanced at David with a tilted head, and said with a smile: "Who came up with the idea this time?"

"Uh...it's not me!" David mumbled while chewing food and shaking his head.

His sister Loisa, who was sitting next to him, asked curiously amidst the laughter of everyone.

"Why do you...ask brother David?"

"Hahahaha~"

Old Malkin was amused and laughed, narrowed his eyes and asked: "Don't you think he is very smart?"

"Oh~ Is that so?" Loisa nodded as if in a sudden realization, and asked again with a smile.

"Brother David, do you have any other evil ideas that you haven't said yet?"

"Forehead.."

David looked at the "innocent" Loisa, thought for a while and replied: "Of course!"

"I'm going to take you all to Hawaii Island for vacation in a few days~"

“There are warm sunshine + sandy beaches + all kinds of lush plants growing in the tropics. It’s very beautiful!”

"Hawaii?" Loisa's eyes widened in surprise with her small mouth, and she said calmly.

"I saw it on TV...that one?"

"Correct!"

David put his hand on her little head, turned to the old Malkin couple and said, "You should also prepare at home these two days. We will fly to Hawaii before the New Year."

"Oh?" Sena glanced at her husband Malkin Sr., then at Sr. David and his wife and their daughters, and asked with a smile.

"Are we together too?"

"Yes~"

"As a family, of course we must stay together!"

"it is good!"

Sena waved her hand very happily, directly representing the opinions of the whole family, and nodded with a smile: "I have long said that I would go to the south to find a warmer place to spend the winter in the winter~"

"But they ignored me..."

“Hawaii?!”

"I've wanted to play there for a long time! Hahaha~"

Old Malkin closed his mouth, chewed the food, smiled and said nothing, which was considered acquiescence~

Polly's sister Manqi tilted her head and glanced at her sister and David. She put down the tableware with some embarrassment and said with a smile: "I... won't go~ I still want it at home."

"Go! Why don't you go!?" Sena interrupted her daughter loudly, turned to look at Ludy, and asked.

"What about you? Come with us too!"

"Uh... ok!"

"Haha~" Lu Di smiled happily and replied cheerfully.

"..." Manqi's eyes glanced around the dining table at the happy people, and finally landed on David. After thinking for a while, she asked.

"How many days are we going to go?"

David smiled and shrugged: "Half a month or a month is fine~"

"Then you... don't have to go to work?"

"Haha~ Regardless of whether I stay in New York or not, I don't need to handle the company's affairs personally."

"Sam, Odis, and the others can handle it!"

"..." Manqi was speechless.

Polly, who had been smiling and taking care of the two children, glanced at her sister Manqi with deep meaning, and then looked at Ludy who was joking with her family.

Lu Di felt Polly's gaze, and there was still a smile on his lips. He nodded slightly, making Polly immediately figure out what was wrong with his sister~

Sure enough, it still is. .Coming? !

. . .

After lunch~

Old Malkin led the men to the study on the second floor.

Old David staggered to the sofa next to the wall and sat down, preparing to quietly be a wooden man.

Seeing that he had found an "audience seat" for himself, Lu Di also smiled and walked over and sat down side by side.

David felt a little weird and tilted his head. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Old Malkin laugh.

"David, come over here and sit down!"

"Ah~oh..."

"Okay!" David walked to the opposite side of old Malkin and sat down.

Old Malkin smiled and took out a cigar from the drawer, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and said.

"Hawaii... you go, I won't go~"

"Um...what's wrong? Do you still have something to deal with?"

"Hehe~"

Malkin Sr. rolled his cigar with his fingers, glanced at David Sr. and Ludy, and said, "Didn't David Romano tell Cohen and the others what I wanted to deal with?"

David quickly opened his eyes several times: "He said it was just for the representative's family affairs?!"

"Ok!"

"He is not a family representative, he is just the head of the branch we established."

"Do you remember...the department management model within General Electric that we talked about last time?"

"..Remember!"

"Correct!"

"We are imitating General Electric Company and establishing branches that are run and managed by professional managers. Or we can call it a super-division system!"

David opened and closed his mouth a few times, then spread his hands out in a funny way and asked, "Are you going to build a company with all the ideas I came up with, and are you going to learn from General Electric's management structure?"

Old Malkin nodded with a hint of pride in his smile and explained: "That's right!"

"It's not just a luxury goods business, it's also a business of issuing personal credit loans~"

"There are also real estate development companies, film companies that make small films, and art trading and auction companies, all of which will use this business model~"

"We will secretly hold the vast majority of shares in these companies + place some reliable people in key departments to ensure our interests."

"The rest of the work will be left to the professional managers who hold some bonus shares to handle it~"

After hearing this, David lowered his head and thought for a while, and realized that this mode of hiding himself in the dark was actually very "cunning", and he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"Who gave you this idea?"

"Isn't it you!"

"I?"

Old Malkin nodded "of course" and said with a smile: "If you don't want us to learn from General Electric, why waste time explaining them in detail?"

"Um...I..."

"I really didn't think so much at the time~"

"Hahahaha~"

Old Malkin laughed and put down the cigar in his hand, waved to Old David and said, "Look! This kid is pretending to be innocent again~"

"...Haha~" Old David smiled cooperatively, with a hint of pride flashing in his narrowed eyes.

David scratched his head with his hand, glanced at his father David Sr. and Ludy, who was "giggling", and asked with some doubts in his heart.

"Then when these professional managers went to Italy to meet David Romano, they said that they were representatives of Sidric, right...?"

Old Malkin raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Yes~ That boy is secretly using our name."

"Do you have any good ways to effectively restrain and warn them?"

"...Of course!"

David confidently crossed his legs, thought for a moment, and said, "There are many ways to solve such a small problem."

"The first thing I thought of was the most direct, effective and legal way, which is... divestment!"

"..Divest investment?!"

"Yes!"

"These companies you established are all intended to hold shares secretly, right?"

Old Malkin put away his smile, nodded slightly and said: "Yes!"

"That's easy~"

“Let’s use an art trading company as an example first~”

"You can first withdraw all the investments in the art trading company, and then let the company sign a loan contract with the investment company or bank you established~"

"The money then becomes a borrowing or loan on the company's balance sheet, rather than an investment to buy shares!"

"Even if this company faces very serious operating risks in the future and is on the verge of bankruptcy, it must first go through bankruptcy liquidation and repay the debts on the balance sheet."

"If you hold shares secretly, when the company is on the verge of bankruptcy, you may have to invest some more money in it to escape unscathed."

"Of course ~ This is the worst case scenario!"

"If the company operates well and has a strong profitability, then the money can be converted from debt to equity investment!"

"Let you regain the majority of the company's shares and become the largest shareholder, openly or secretly!"

"This is a compliant and legal way of financial manipulation using debt-for-equity swaps and equity-for-debt swaps!"

Old Malkin tapped his right hand on the table, thought seriously for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "What you said is related to the fact that in order to avoid risks, we used to issue high-interest loans to those who wanted to make money by opening underground casinos. .Is it a train of thought?"

"Oh~?"

"Have you done something similar before?"

"Not much...not much~"

David felt a little dumbfounded and shrugged, spreading his hands and saying: "To complete this kind of operation, you only need to find a good lawyer who is very familiar with the Company Law, and it will be done smoothly~"

"So, if you want to use this method to teach that person a lesson, you can establish more domestic and foreign branches and carry out complex cross-shareholdings, which can effectively avoid the trouble and problems of being investigated~"

"Ok!"

Old Malkin nodded in agreement and began to think about who would do it and how to do it. .

After David finished speaking, he suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his head!

He frowned slowly, trying hard to recall what just flashed through his mind. .Thought~

Professional managers! ?

Secretly holding shares! ?

Legal conversion of fund attributes! ?

To deal with good and bad, two outcomes. .Be prepared! !

"Hi!~!"

David felt like he had it figured out!

It turned out that he had been acting all along. .The role of professional managers?

What the hell. .This is no small trouble!

But big trouble!

Super, big trouble!
