Manhattan Reborn 1978

In the small garden.

The interview is over.

Martin clapped his hands to signal the students to disperse, and went back to wait for further work notifications.

He recorded the names and majors of these people and gave them to Alicia.

When Giles and Bloomer saw that they could no longer hide it, they pulled Laura directly towards David who was resting aside and looking at his notebook.

David also looked up at this time and saw Giles and the others.

He packed up the small notebooks he had just taken out, put them in his backpack, walked up to several people and said hello with a smile.

"Hey~ Giles, Bloomer, why are you here?"

Giles raised his head to signal David, then smiled and hugged David, and said softly: "We brought my sister here. Didn't you promise to give her a gift when she came to New York last time? !Help man!”

amount. .

David hugged Giles and complained softly: "You came all the way here asking for a gift?"

"Can't you inform me in advance? You bastard!"

David's eyes found Laura, who was already standing aside with a smile.

Is she the female student I just questioned?

Laura was dressed very casually, a blue and white striped long skirt, her brown-black hair was styled into a ponytail, her supple face was tinged with a touch of pink, and her big eyes were very clear. She laughed. , and there are two shallow dimples on his face.

David felt that Laura looked like a beautiful actress he remembered, but he couldn't remember who it was for the moment.

Giles flashed to David: "This is my sister, Laura, and this is David, my good friend."

"Hello! David."

"Hello! Laura."

Laura generously stretched out her hand and shook David's hand, then let go and sat down.

Professor Martin and Professor Nash were also present. Even though Laura was now full of curiosity about David's deeds, she had to endure it first.

David also smiled and pulled Bloomer and Giles down to him, and introduced them, Laura, Martin and the Nash couple to each other.

After a little chat.

They all sit down.

Giles finally couldn't help but asked about the data science research center that David just mentioned.

David took the water from Alicia, looked at the two friends next to him, and told them the reason for the establishment of the Data Science Research Center, the plan for its establishment, and the preliminary cooperation intention he had just reached with the principal.

After listening to this, Giles and Bloomer were very excited.

They know the book "Jianming Survey of Computer Methods" and even know its author, Peter Noll.

Professor Armstrong Bartley, the mentor of Giles and Blumer, found Professor Noll after reading this book and humbly asked for some definitions and arguments in data science in the book.

He also lamented that if he had known Professor Noel a few years earlier, his paper that won the Nobel Prize in Economics could have been completed more smoothly and in less time.

Since 1925, Professor Armstrong Bartley has published more than ten research papers, reports, and books on economics, on the study of population development trends and population structure, and on the relationship between economic growth and income distribution.

Among these research papers and reports are "Gross National Product since 1869", "National Income and Its Composition", "Six Speeches on Economic Growth", "Capital in the American Economy", "Current Economic Growth", " "Economic Growth in Various Countries" has aroused great interest among experts in the field of economics and has been recognized and appreciated by most people.

Professor Bartlet's article "Population, Capital and Growth" published in 1973 completely conquered the judges of the Nobel Prize in Economics, and awarded this year's award to Professor Armstrong Bartlet from Harvard University .

At the award ceremony, Professor Bartley thanked the friends who attended the meeting and talked about the many difficulties he encountered when writing this paper. The most troublesome one was the collection of various specific data.

These data are constantly increasing and changing with the development of the times and society.

He spent countless time and energy collecting them.

Professor Bartley mentioned these things more than once to his students, Giles and Bloomer.

just now.

Professor Bartlet, who is 74 years old, is preparing his last research paper "Growth, Population and Income Distribution".

The first draft of this paper has been completed, and some details about specific data on various aspects of development in recent years have not yet been collected and completed.

David's data science research center can bring great help to Professor Bartley's paper.

Giles introduced all this to everyone and hoped that David could speed up the plan to establish the center and start this matter in advance.

Both he and Blumer hoped that Professor Bartlet, who was not in good health, could obtain these data earlier, improve the paper, and fulfill his wish for the last journey of his life.

Giles looked at David sincerely: "Professor Bartlet's body can no longer support him for a few years. We have advised him to shelve and give up his plans to continue research, go to the hospital to recuperate, and then go out and travel to various places. Have a good trip and take a round."

"But the professor said that his research was the source of his happiness and the greatest motivation for him to live. He supported his body and wanted to publish this final paper in its entirety. This was his last and biggest achievement. desire, and he enjoyed it.”

Everyone looked at each other in silence.

Both Martin and the Nash couple knew Professor Armstrong Bartley. He was a respectable scholar and an excellent mentor.

David looked at Giles and Bloomer, and then at the other people next to him.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said to Giles: "How much time do we have?"

Giles and Bloomer looked at each other and lowered their heads in silence, they didn't know.

In a hurry, I wanted to start up this data science research center that was still being planned.

There are too many problems they have to face and the difficulties are too great.

However, when it is slowly established, will Professor Bartley still be there?

The scene fell silent.

David thought for a moment, took a few deep breaths, and looked at the people around him: "If we want to help Professor Bartlet complete the thesis in the shortest possible time, we need to do a lot of work, and there will be many difficulties and problems. .”

Several people nodded silently.

Laura, the audience member, sat nearby and looked at David with a smile on her lips.

David found his blank notebook, tore out a few pages and distributed them to several people.

Nash found several pens from his briefcase and distributed them to everyone.

After seeing that several people were ready, everyone started discussing the matter.

David spoke first: "The problem we are facing now is, first of all..."

After some time, the sun had set and the street lights came on.

The discussion between several people continued.

David spoke less and less.

Black Mike, who was sitting not far away, waiting boredly, kept paying attention to David.

This kid has slowly lowered his head and stopped talking since just now. I don't know what he is thinking about.

－－－－－－－

Manhattan, New York.

In the nightclub.

Vince and Bobby are getting ready for tonight's opening.

Abby took a small notebook and said from the warehouse behind the bar: "Vince, we have all the fruit juices and vegetable juices today, and the beer has been restocked from a different store today. Those disgusting brewers yesterday, You should never contact them again."

"okok, I promise!" Vince held a cigarette in his mouth and prepared the ingredients for making a cocktail.

After Bobby finished his work at the bar, he got out, sat on a stool at the bar, lit a cigarette, and started puffing.

"You heard..."

"Hey!~ Guys! How have you been these past two days?"

As soon as Bobby started speaking, before he could finish his sentence, the voice of Vince's brother, Franky, came from the direction of the door.

Several people next to the bar looked in the direction of the sound.

After Abby saw Franky, she turned to Vince and said, "Your bastard brother is here again. Why can we see him everywhere? He is more annoying than a fly!"

After saying that, she shook her head and walked to the warehouse behind.

Vince looked at Abby's back and said nothing.

He frowned and turned around, and said to Franky, who was sitting at the bar with a smile: "fxxx! Oil! Your debt with Tom was just paid off a while ago, and someone came here to see me yesterday. You want to pay, what the fuck did you do!? Come here and let me see if you have any money in your pocket!"

Franky Martino, Vince's twin brother, was born only 9 minutes earlier than his younger brother Vince.

This also shaped their lives. . .Unfortunate brotherhood!

In the past two days, the nightclub's business has been in a hot state with queues at the door, full inside, and no one willing to leave.

As a result, Ludy had to ask Cohen for a few more security guards to maintain order at the door waiting for people.

Vince didn’t know how the security guard at the door let Franky in.

Franky didn't care what Vince said at all. He reached into the bar with his familiar hand, took out a bottle of beer, opened it with his teeth, raised it and drank half of the bottle, and then let out a big burp.

"Vince, I came today to receive a message that I want to tell you. Do you want to know?"

"Where did you hear the inside information again? Fxxx! Come on! Don't tell me this, drink this bottle of beer and leave quickly. We will open for business soon!"

Franky curled his lips and shook his head. He looked at his brother-in-law Bobby who had been silent next to him: "Did you switch from a small bar to this nightclub, and your eyes started to look up to the sky? Bobby, this is mine News, do you want to hear it?"

Bobby fiddled with his Mediterranean hairstyle: "It doesn't matter, I'll just listen to you. Anyway, I'm resting now."

Vince said nothing, he knew Franky too well.

When he was showing off like he was now and wanted Vince to ask, the more he asked, the less he would say anything.

On the contrary, if you ignore him, he will tell you everything after a while.

When Franky saw that the two of them were ignoring him, he took another sip of beer and said, "Okay, I said it! Cough! I received a message that the two informants who were killed by the DA security company were with Ha The guys walking in the woods over there have something to do with it.”

"what?"

"Are you sure? Where did you get the news?"

"fxxx! Don't make such a joke! The whole of New York was almost searched by them today. Where did you get this news?"

Seeing that his brother and brother-in-law didn't believe him, Frankie became a little anxious: "I was in Queens this morning and accidentally met a boy I met a few years ago. He used to be a policeman on the street, but he ended up in After an accident, he joined dea.

The news I mentioned was given to me by him. He was following those guys who were chasing fans yesterday. fxxx!What I said is absolutely true! "

"Dea?"

"What is that?"

Vince frowned and asked him: "What if what you said is true? Then we call Ludy now and you come and tell him!"

"You go ahead and fight, I'll tell him! fxxx! Fight quickly!~"
