Manhattan Reborn 1978

Just when David was staring at the system and thinking about something.

Black Mike leads Lawrence, Andy and Red into the apartment.

David stepped forward and hugged Lawrence first, saying thank you for your hard work.

Say hello to Andy and Red.

Then he turned around and let a few people sit wherever they wanted.

He took the food and drink from Black Mike's hand and laid out everything: "Although we have never met, I believe you have gotten to know me a little through Lawrence these days."

"My name is David Coleman, and I now have a group company, and I am the honorary chairman... Barabara"

After David arranged for the two old men to sit down, he introduced himself and set out food and drinks on the coffee table.

The two old men sat on the sofa and watched David working.

After everyone had a beer in their hands, David raised the bottle and said, "I have been looking forward to our meeting since we talked on the phone last time. So today, here's to Andy and Rhett who have returned from afar!"

"Andy and Red!" Lawrence and Black Mike responded cheerfully.

The two old men also smiled.

Although it was the first time they met, David's relaxing way of getting along made them let go of some of their wariness.

The two also clinked bottles with everyone.

David put down the bottle.

He smiled and said to Lawrence and Black Mike: "Can we talk alone for a while?"

The two nodded and went downstairs to Black Mike's place.

David saw them off and relaxed even more.

He took out the sausage that Black Mike bought somewhere, took a bite, and drank his beer.

David looked at Rhett: "Hope is not a dangerous thing! Rhett! We all have to have hope, and life will be more exciting."

This sentence was left by Andy to Rhett in the small box under the big oak tree.

How did David know?

"How do you know these things?"

"It's a secret! Well... I just know it!"

"Okay, tell me what you want? We still have less than 30 dollars in hand, so we can give it to you."

Andy calmly discussed the terms.

"No, Andy. Your money will be put to good use. In a few days, the niece of the Chief Justice of Maine will be holding a charity auction here in Manhattan. You need to go there and take some of the designated items."

"You mean?" Andy's expression began to brighten.

"Yes, my lawyer George has contacted his classmate who works in the Maine Supreme Court. We need a more professional lawyer. We have found one now, with a cost of 5000 dollars."

“We also need to donate $3000 to the Supreme Court’s maintenance fund.”

"And after you buy the designated lot at the auction, Lawyer George will go to Maine to appeal on your behalf to find Elmer Blige, the real murderer of your wife, so that he can be punished. This way After following a set of procedures, in a month or less, you will be a free man Andy.

"You have to ask Lawyer George how much you will need at the auction. But I think your money should be enough."

"Whether you need to go to court, I don't know. Whether you go or not, these things have been arranged."

"It was just that no one was willing to help you before, but now you know it, it's really simple!"

The two old men were silent.

"As for Rhett, it's still as we said before. I will issue you a work certificate, and then let the lawyer take you to handle the follow-up matters."

"However, Rhett, you need to work for Da Company for a period of time in the future, just to show off. Of course, you can choose a job, whatever you want to do."

Rhett looked at David and nodded.

Andy looked at David: "Then I, you, work for ten years, plus all the money we have left."

David laughed, but the two old men still didn't let down their guard.

He motioned for the two of them to raise the wine bottles together and clink them.

"I don't need your money, Andy. To be honest, the condition of working for me for ten years is not important to me."

"I told you to work for me because at this stage of my company, I don't have anyone I can trust to take charge of the finances."

"If I find someone to replace you in the future, or you help me train one, then you will retire."

"As for money. I think you and Red should buy a small farm in New Jersey."

"One more thing, you should need money."

"What's going on?" The two of them were curious.

"I plan to help all your friends in prison get out and everyone can be reunited."

"I can help if you want."

The two old men were silent.

Friends who have been together day and night for decades, I don’t know how they are doing now.

If they have any relatives in this world, those old guys in prison should be included.

The two old men were silent for a while, looked at each other and nodded.

David drank his beer and opened another bottle for himself.

"To the friends we will meet soon!"

The two old men raised the bottles and clinked them.

"Respect, friend!"

At this time, there was a little smile on their faces.

"Andy, when you see George, give him a list of friends. Ask him to take it to Maine and let his friends over there see how it works to get them out as soon as possible."

Andy nodded, relaxed and leaned against the sofa.

He also figured out that David might have some plot against them, but they really had nothing except some money.

"After they come out, let them all come to New York, where everyone can get together, and my company needs a lot of manpower."

"Wait until they can adapt to life outside, and then let them choose their own future life."

"They can retire on your small farm in New Jersey. After I find someone to replace you, Andy, you can also travel around the country together, or go to foreign countries."

Rhett picked up the bottle and clinked it with David: "Thank you! David. Maybe I can do something for you."

"Haha, okay Red, how about you go to the company to help Andy, or go to the bar I'm about to buy?"

Rhett became interested: "You want to buy a bar?"

"Yes, it's called Wildfire Bar. It's the bar where I've been working for the past three years..."

David talked candidly about his past few years and what he is doing now.

Andy and Rhett listened with rapt attention. They didn't expect that the young man sitting across from them was only 21 years old!

It only took him less than a month to establish the group company?

Andy himself was sensitive to numbers, and he expressed concerns about many of the investments in David's plan.

David smiled and said: "That's why I need you! Andy, if you help manage the company's financial affairs, then I can safely continue to grow the company and make more money, that's it." Help more people like Lawrence and others!”

Andy nodded, leaned back on the sofa, and asked in detail about the current financial situation of the company. .

David could only repeat what Polly had told him.

Andy thought for a while and then said: "I'm not particularly good at the oil futures investment you mentioned, but your current use and allocation of other funds in the group company can be made more detailed and reasonable, which can greatly alleviate the problem." You currently have a problem with insufficient funds.”

"For example, let the advertising company achieve profitability first, let the clothing company start full operation, ensure that the nightclub can open as soon as possible, etc."

"I still need to talk to the Polly you mentioned and check the company's information so that I can make more accurate judgments and plans."

David laughed: "Okay Andy! Thanks for joining us!"

"Ting!"

The three of them clinked their bottles together and smiled at each other.

Andy and Red are about to gain true freedom.

David gained an old and trusted financial expert.

He glanced at the system prompts that the opportunity mission had been completed.

Points: 44

Andy and the others allowed David to gain +20 points.

Haha!

Get it!

He looked at the two old men opposite, these are two treasures!

Needs serious development!

He probed the two old men.

Andy: Favorability is 69. Your frankness has won his trust.

Red: Favorability is 72. He thinks you are a fairly reliable guy.

Hey!

you can!

In this way, they finally got it done!

Ok.

And Lavis and Forrest Gump's wool-bashing plan will also be scheduled.

Why not let Lawrence go home and ask him to find Jenny too?

Ok. . .

To write it down.

The two old men looked at David in a daze, unaware that he was distracted again. .

They looked at each other and began to relax and enjoy the cold beer after the problem was solved.

David got up and found a small notebook to record his thoughts.

Then turn around and go downstairs to find Lawrence and Black Mike.

He took the two of them upstairs and introduced Black Mike to Andy and Red.

He asked Black Mike to send the two old men back to their residence first, and told White Mike to go to the company tomorrow and take the two old men for a walk and look around.

Turning back to them, he said: "I will arrange for Lawyer George to wait for you at the company tomorrow. You can meet and discuss the specific matters. In the past few days, you can go look at houses or small farms, choose a suitable place, and wait for friends to gather again. !”

Andy smiled and agreed, and Rhett stepped forward: "If your bar is still short of manpower, I can be an old bartender to help!"

David nodded in agreement: "Okay, Red! After you settle in, I'll negotiate the purchase, and you can come to work at the Wildfire Bar!"

After a few people said goodbye, Black Mike sent the two old men back.

David pulled Lawrence back and sat down.

"Lawrence, how was your trip back this time? Did you encounter any trouble?"

Lawrence took the beer from David and said with a smile: "It's no trouble. It's just that they are not used to such a long car trip. We spent a long time in the hotel to rest in the middle."

David also laughed. Indeed, it was an unpleasant trip for these two old men to travel through more than half of the states and counties in the United States, a total distance of more than 4000 kilometers.

Lawrence then recounted the general story of their journey home.

After crossing the border from Mexico, they came to Lawrence's hometown, Arizona.

There, local snake Lawrence helped them prepare two forged documents.

He borrowed a car from a friend and drove all the way back.

On the way, he encountered several inquiries from patrolmen, and Lawrence cleverly helped conceal their identities.

Overall it went very smoothly.
