Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

Morgan Stanley conference room on the fourth floor.

David held his chin in his hands, looking at the folders on the table in front of him in a daze. Mr. Otis Parker, Sam Rogers and Yuri Orlov were all sitting quietly a little distance away from David, thinking. Things in their own minds. .

After ten minutes.

David leaned back, raised his head and looked at the three of them, let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Okay~ now we are the only ones left... to ourselves~"

"Let's have a little meeting!"

Mr. Parker tilted his head with a smile, stood up, walked over to David and sat down, and Sam and Yuri followed suit and sat down a little bit.

David's eyes swept across the three of them, and finally landed on Mr. Parker: "Before we met at Sapphire Crystal, I talked a lot with old Mr. Morgan!"

"Actually, the idea of ​​forming a team that is entirely my own was a decision I made the night before meeting Mr. Morgan Sr.!"

"You also heard the content of the meeting just now~ I plan to use the small building in the Wildfire Bar as a mortgage loan as the first source of funds for my personal company."

"Part of this money will be invested in the two research centers, and most of the rest will be invested in the futures market at the end of the year and next year."

"Mr. Parker, although I can't completely understand why you chose to come to me and join my team."

"But... I know that it's not money that makes you sit here now... right?"

Mr. Parker smiled expectantly and nodded: "That's right!"

David took a deep breath, thought for a moment, stood up, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "Then, my team welcomes you, Mr. Otis Parker!"

"Haha~" Mr. Parker did not move in his seat, but just raised his hand and shook David's hand.

"I'm not interested in money~ but I hope to see more interesting things from you~!"

"This, if you can't satisfy me, please forgive me, I will leave!"

David sat down, shrugged, leaned back and smiled: "Of course~! If there is someone in this world who has more legendary experiences than mine in the future, I wouldn't mind being friends with him~"

Mr. Parker smiled softly: "You are really a...confident boy?!"

"Hahaha~ There are always surprises in life~ Around me, excitement is everywhere!"

"Haha~ Okay~ I am indeed very satisfied with your experiences in recent days~ Now that I have joined the team, if you have anything to say, please say it directly!"

"okok~"

David put away his smile and made himself more serious: "I would like to ask you to help my team recruit more professional talents~"

"I have no specific requirements for these people, as long as they can greatly surpass ordinary people in a certain aspect."

Surprise flashed across Mr. Parker's face, and then he looked David up and down curiously: "Do you... want to set up a personal intelligence network... or do you want to create an... employment-based organization?"

"Um..." David started scratching his head. .After thinking for a while, he reluctantly spread his hands and said: "Of course I want an intelligence network that is entirely my own..."

"However... with my current financial strength, I can only slowly improve it~!"

"Haha~ Then combine them and form an organization with a slightly loose affiliation to build a comprehensive intelligence network platform for you~!"

When David heard about combining these two ideas, he frowned and thought for a moment: "Is this...will there be any problems?"

"Haha~ What's the problem? The existence of intelligence information is originally used for trading~ We can build a world-neutral intelligence information trading platform so that everyone in this industry can find what they want here!"

"And you, as the boss of the entire platform, can harvest the latest and most valuable intelligence information with the lowest effort."

“And you don’t need to invest too much money in the entire platform construction process~”

Mr. Parker smiled a little mysteriously. He didn't pay attention to Sam and Yuri beside him, and looked directly at the frowning David: "It will be like the medical research center you just mentioned, with an initial investment, and later it will be all on your own." Self-sufficient production!”

"All funds for its development in the future will be obtained from the income of the intelligence information network, making it self-sufficient~"

"We can stipulate that any person or group who wants to enter this neutral intelligence information platform needs to pay a fee!"

"If they want to obtain intelligence information on this platform, they can only rely on the communication and transaction system established by the platform!"

"The currency used on this platform network is not any currency that people recognize in the traditional sense. It will be... a brand new currency system that circulates within the platform..."

“It represents not only money, but also the platform rules and credibility hidden behind it~!”

"And only we have the sole right to issue this currency!"

"In this way, the seemingly loose intelligence department can use currency to define the level of intelligence information, and allow all people who join this neutral platform to get the money and status they want."

"As a neutral platform owner, we can create and improve certain rules to control these members to a certain extent!"

"Of course, they can also violate the relevant regulations of our platform and conduct some shady transactions privately."

"But this kind of secret transaction will not be protected by the rules of our platform. Instead, it will be severely punished by the rules of the platform!"

"Anyone who violates the rules of our platform will be punished!"

"We make the rules!"

"Rules must be followed by all members!"

"The rules are jointly maintained by all people who recognize this neutral intelligence information platform!"

"In terms of the initial framework of this platform, I... have actually almost built it~"

"David, if you think this plan is feasible, I can take out this intelligence information network platform that has just been built and give it to you!"

After listening to Mr. Parker's words, David felt his scalp numb~

Sure enough~

It's true that this Odis Parker can be noticed by old Morgan. .His xx is so surprising~!

"Mr. Parker..."

"Call me Otis!"

"Um...ok~Otis~this you mentioned...the platform and the framework have been built~then...why do you want to give it to me?"

"Uh~hahahaha~"

Mr. Parker seemed to be triggered by David's question. .Laughing loudly like a laughing hole~

His laughter made the three people next to him confused. .

Seeing him smiling so happily, David leaned back in his chair with a helpless expression, thinking about what Mr. Parker just said. .Intelligence network. .

This plan? . .No~Intelligence network platform plan, how does it sound? .Are there any familiar feelings?

Mr. Parker laughed for a while, then slowly stopped.

He looked at David greedily with eyes that looked at strange treasures, and there was interesting excitement in his voice.

"When we first met, I had a... premonition that I had never had before!"

"As long as we can become friends, you will definitely use this platform one day!"

"I got the inspiration for this platform after I learned about the US plan to withdraw its troops in Vietnam and some accidents happened~!"

"It...is an unexpected...interesting product!"

“The U.S. military’s main focus and energy in recent years has been placed on the Vietnam battlefield~”

"With the introduction of the U.S. troop withdrawal plan, Europe, the area that used to have the most frequent espionage activities in various countries, is no longer suitable for me to look for... I'm so happy~!"

"In the future, the United States, which is no longer troubled by war, will definitely set its sights on the chaotic land of Europe~"

"So, I established a small organization in London a few years ago, and then arranged for people to come back to New York and establish a... foothold here!"

"Originally, I wanted to use it as an absolutely neutral area to provide a safe haven for those who walk between light and darkness!"

"However, now it seems that it has a new mission in your plan!"

"I believe that this platform will perfectly complete your idea and turn it into a neutral intelligence platform organization all over the world!"

The more David listened, the more he felt that what Mr. Parker said was a bit mysterious. .

He pondered for a moment, frowned and whispered: "Have you... given it a name?"

"Haha~ Not yet~ The people in my organization and I will jokingly call it...the Gold Coin Hotel!"

"Everywhere we stay is a hotel!"

"Here, shelter services are provided to all members who voluntarily join. Anyone or any organization who wants to use violence in the hotel will be regarded by the hotel as a provocation to the rules, and will be counterattacked, punished, and wanted!"

"And the only common currency used in the hotel is what I just said...gold coins!"

"A kind of exquisite gold coin produced and issued in-house by the hotel and endorsed by the hotel's credit!"

“Gold Coin Hotel?!!”

Several confusing scenes suddenly appeared in David's memory. .

Emm. . .

After lowering his head and remembering carefully for a while.

David felt an inexplicable chill emanating from Mr. Odis Parker!

Once upon a time, David Jiang watched a movie starring Keanu Reeves, titled. .Can not remember. .

The plot of the movie is very simple and crude. .

Keanu Reeves plays a retired killer who used to work at the Continental Hotel. .Contracted employees.

Because he met true love and was tired of the life of a killer, he chose to complete the most difficult task in the hotel, and then lived a secluded life with his lover with his pension.

One day, under the arrangement of the screenwriter, the idiot son of a New York gang boss found Keanu Reeves' secluded home, stole his car, and killed his dog. .

result. .The God of Death took up the weapon again and began a series of explosive killings to avenge dogs and cars. .Story~

This is ****. .

Isn't this gold coin hotel that Odis mentioned the same hotel that provides missions, benefits, and shelter for killers?

wrong. .That hotel should be called the Continental Hotel, right?

Could it be that if David hadn't appeared, hadn't met Mr. Otis Parker, and wouldn't have talked about the intelligence organization's plan today? .Gold coin hotel club. .Was it renamed the Continental Hotel?

fxxx!

David, who was a little confused, began to rub his forehead and asked Mr. Parker: "Otis, you have opened this hotel in New York?"

"where is it?"

“It’s right in Manhattan!”

"Where's the person in charge of it? Is it you?"

"Me? Haha~ No, I'm not interested in managing it!"

"The person in charge of the hotel is the general manager. His name is Winston, a very funny little man!"

"You gave it to me?"

"Haha~ That's right David~ The entire hotel is part of my personal property~ Of course I can give it to you!"

In David's memory, the whole name Winston is very unfamiliar. Today is the first time he heard it~

"Then...do you already have members in the hotel?"

Mr. Parker nodded with a smile: "Yes! In fact, Elena Mesa is one of the members in the hotel and one of the few people who knows my identity!"

"Elena? What does she...originally do? Spy?"

"Haha~ It's sort of... a commercial espionage~"

"The Elena you see now is not what she looked like in Europe~!"

"When she decided to retire, by chance, I had the idea of ​​​​the hotel, so I told her this plan, and she chose to join the hotel and became a... senior member!"

"Senior member? Have you classified the members into different levels? Where are the rules? Have they been finalized?"

"Yeah...mostly yes~ I also leave room for subsequent rectification in terms of rules~"

"It's yours now ~ if you want to change the rules..."

Mr. Parker spread his hands and said, "Just go ahead and do it~ I'm looking forward to your performance!"

"No, Otis!"

David thought for a moment, organized his words, and continued: "It's still yours! I just want you to be able to provide me with powerful help in obtaining intelligence~"

"I have no interest in this hotel!"

"you sure?"

"It is..."

"Yes, I'm pretty sure!"

A smile appeared on David's face: "Otis, I have no intention of exploring your past!"

"We are friends now ~ partners!"

"You were introduced to my team by old Mr. Morgan~ We have been a family from now on!"

"No matter what you want from me, you can tell me directly. As long as I can do it and it doesn't violate my bottom line principles, I can help!"

"Ausdie! If our team can be compared to a big ship, I hope you can become a qualified lookout and give me the most reasonable and accurate suggestions and opinions for every decision I make!"

"This big ship of ours will sail thousands of miles and see all the wonders and beautiful scenery in the world~"

Mr. Parker tilted his head and said with a smile: "You... are really a cautious boy... Haha~"

"Okay~ I will leave the specific management of the hotel to Winston in the future."

"It will become what you plan and want to see the most!"

"Ok~Thank you, Otis!"

"I need to thank you for saving me a lot of investment! Haha~"

With that said, Mr. Parker stood up, nodded to Sam and Yuri, took out two business cards from his pocket and handed them to them: "We've finished talking about work~ I'll take my leave now~"

"Just in time, I can go find Winston and talk about the future development of the hotel!"

David stood up with a smile, took Mr. Parker's hand, and the two walked to the door. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Otis, you have to be careful! Those people who have been walking in the gray area for a long time... I'm afraid of some people." People will because..."

Mr. Parker nodded slightly: "I am more cautious than you about this, boy!"

"I will live well and watch you slowly grow up and become the person you say you are...haha~"

"That's right~haha~"

"I will be here these days. If you need anything, you can come to me directly!"

"Ok~ You can go back..."

Mr. Parker glanced at Sam and Yuri: "Sam, I had a brief chat with him. As for Yuri... what do you think?"

"Yuri? I will observe him slowly~"

"Well... you just have to know what's going on~ I'm leaving!"

David stood at the door of the conference room, watching the leaving figure of Mr. Otis Parker. Some of the thoughts that had just popped into his mind were completely wiped out by him!

Gold Coin Hotel, Continental Hotel?

it. .This is not something that David can play around with!

I don’t know how many monsters and monsters are hiding in it. .

David's dream is just to be a rich man who enjoys life~

I have no interest in these people walking on the edge of darkness~

Of course, David also needs to make sure that these people will not cause any trouble~

Otherwise, the Gold Coin Hotel will really become the Continental Hotel in my memory. This is fun. .But it’s big!

David, who stood at the door for a short while, returned to the conference room, closed the door, sorted out his expression and mood, sat down and looked at Sam and said.

"Guys, let's talk about your jobs!"

----

Manhattan.

In a high-rise apartment building not far from Central Park, Zina walked out of the elevator with a newly dressed Madonna.

In the morning, Zina took Madonna around the department store and bought some of the latest women's products such as clothes, shoes, bags, cosmetics, etc.

With a new hairstyle, Madonna looks youthful, and her original dark brown hair has been dyed blonde.

Zina walked to the apartment door first and knocked on the door. Barbra Streisand's voice came from the apartment.

"Is it Xina?"

"It's me~Barbara!"

The door of the apartment was wide open. Barbara looked at Zina up and down with a smile, then strode forward and hugged her: "My dear, we haven't seen each other for almost a year, right?"

Zina teased softly: "That's because you're too busy~ I've been waiting for you here in New York!"

"Ok~ It's my fault~"

The two separated, and Barbara smiled and said: "I will spend Christmas in New York this time ~ If you don't have a date ~ let's go together ~!"

"Okay~"

Zina responded with a smile, stretched out her hand to hold Barbara, and introduced Madonna to her~

After hearing the introduction, Barbara politely shook hands with Madonna, a young fan, and asked Qina in surprise: "Have you changed jobs now?"

"Where can I find it~! I didn't have any fixed job before~ Now I just want to settle down~ It happened that a friend needed help, so I joined this newly established agency!"

"That's right~"

“Come on, please come in, I was just here to chat~”

"Please come in and sit wherever you like~I'll pour you some coffee~!"

Zina naturally took the lead to sit down on the sofa in the living room and smiled at Madonna: "How is it? Big stars are just like ordinary people in private~!"

Madonna's eyes widened, looking at the layout of the apartment, and then added absentmindedly: "Yeah~ It would be great if I could have such an apartment here!"

Zina looked at Barbara's busy figure in the kitchen with a smile, and said softly: "It will happen, everything will happen!"

----

Miami.

Cohen, Jackal, and Rambo were sitting or standing at the table, looking at Blanco who was also sitting at the table, waiting for her to finish the call.

Blanco, still wearing a black hood, reported in English to his subordinates on the other side of the phone that they were safe, and then put down the phone.

Cohen took the microphone, put it away, and said with some surprise: "Thank you very much for your cooperation, Ms. Blanco!"

Blanco's head was covered and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.

Almost all of her men were killed, their hands were cuffed, their heads were hooded, and a group of murderous thugs sat around them. .Can you not cooperate?

"You...when did you let me go?"

"Haha~ Don't worry~ Someone will pick you up later!"

"who is it?"

Cohen and others were silent and did not answer.

Blanco lowered his head slightly, and after listening for a while, he put his hands on the table and said in a very steady voice: "I can get 200 million yuan from you, how about that?"

"200?"

Cohen glanced at Jackal and Rambo, shook his head with a silent smile and said, "It seems that you paid a low price for your life!"

Blanco was silent for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "No, I made a mistake just now! 2000 million meters!"

"This price may satisfy you!"

"Haha~ In just two sentences, your price increased tenfold?"

"Blanco, it seems that the cocaine business you are doing in Miami... is really fucking profitable!"

"Fortunately, all the gangs in Miami have been wiped out by my men. I am the only one who owns this market. Of course, I will make more money!"

"4000 million dollars! This... is all I can come up with! I need a week!"

Cohen stopped smiling, tapped his fingers on the table, and thought seriously: "Money is very important to us now... and it's not important either!"

“It can’t bring us a better life, but it can make us live more peacefully and happily~!”

Cohen turned to look at Rambo and asked jokingly: "We still lack a few armed helicopters and a few armored vehicles that are not equipped~ Look...this..."

Rambo glared at Cohen angrily, constantly weighing the matter in his mind. .

Boss David wanted him to use Blanco to lure drug lords from Colombia to Miami to put an end to the matter. .

Now it seems that Blanco wants to use money to buy an insurance policy for his life.

She didn't know that Rambo had never wanted to kill her. .

Thus. . .

No ~!

Rambo's mouth crooked and he spoke for the first time: "Blanco, are we too polite to you?"

"Are you testing us?"

Blanco shook his head vigorously and denied: "You can pull the trigger at any time and take my life~"

"I just want to use money to buy my own life!"

Rambo looked at Cohen and Jackal.

They both paused, looked at each other, and nodded silently.

Cohen said: "In one week, 4000 million bearer stocks or bonds!"

"No way! I only have cash!"

"Haha~Blanco, you can do it!"

"Besides these, we have other conditions!"

Blanco clasped his hands together, then slowly loosened them and said, "Tell me, what else is there!"

"We want your help in contacting..."

The more Blanco listened, the more something was wrong. She suddenly realized that these people were attracted by Pablo and Londono! ?

Cohen ignored Blanco's little thoughts: "How is it?"

Blanco was silent for a long time this time, then nodded and said, "No problem! I'll invite them all to Miami within a week!"

"When the time comes...how can I contact you?"

"We will contact you!"

Blanco paused, as if he took a breath, and then said: "Who is coming to pick me up later?"

"Your future partner!"

The smile on Cohen's lips made him look very funny. .

"Did you...sell me?"

"Sell? No, no, no! If we follow the original plan, you will be beaten to death and all your money will be drained before we can discuss cooperation with you~"

"fxxx! 4000 million is all I have! What else do you want?"

"Haha~ Your collaborators will help you make more money. This 4000 million may only be your monthly income in the future~~"

"So, it will be very pleasant for you to cooperate!~!"

Blanco didn't believe Cohen's nonsense at all, and now she was thinking about how to get out of danger. .

As long as you can give her freedom and time. .

No matter who the other party is, she will make the other party pay for this!

Cohen seemed to have guessed what Blanco was thinking, and said in a faint voice: "I have just said that money is a good thing for us, but it cannot change our lives, but it may bring us more of...problems and troubles!”

“We didn’t come to Miami just for the money~”

"We are a group of people who come together voluntarily to help each other and rely on each other!"

"Life is precious to us~"

"At the same time, life is also the last...the only thing between us~"

"There are hundreds of thousands or millions of comrades who need us to save~"

"No matter where they are, no matter what they encounter, as long as we can find them, we will lend a helping hand to them!"

Cohen paused, looked at Blanco's shoulder, shook slightly, and said with a smile: "Do you know what our original plan was?"

"We plan to go to...Colombia~Kill all the drug lords there~"

"Haha~ This idea sounds... interesting, doesn't it?"

Blanco seemed to be gritting his teeth, and a few words popped out of his mouth: "You won't go, because... you can't come back!"

"Yeah~ we might... all die there~"

"But behind us, there are more comrades who will go to the jungle of Colombia one after another!"

"They will take revenge on us~ They will use the blood and heads of drug lords to present the best gift to our tombstone!"

"It's a wonderful gift~ isn't it? Hahahaha~"

"fxxxyou!"

Blanco understands~

There must be something wrong with this man talking! ! !

His xx!

This is a lunatic!
