Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

Morgan Stanley conference room on the fourth floor.

Mr. Otis Parker left, and David sat back down.

Looking at Sam Rogers and Yuri Orlov, I temporarily suppressed the unnecessary thoughts in my heart.

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

"Sam, speaking of my team, you were the first to join!"

"Of course, Mr. Parker is also a member of our team, but he... I think is more like a partner~"

"You also heard and saw it just now~ If my future development... cannot satisfy Mr. Parker, he will choose to leave~!"

Sam nodded with a very serious expression, thought for a moment, and said, "Mr. Parker...it can't really be...a mental problem, right?"

This sentence is. .Testing is also a reminder!

Of course David understood what he meant, shook his head and replied with a smile: "Even if he is a madman~ he is still a rich and powerful madman with his own unique ideas~!"

Both Sam and Yuri couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths, making their mouths sore. .Controlled not laughing.

"Sam, the company under my personal name has not been established yet. I will find someone to help with this matter~"

"Your recent job is to build a small financial investment team with you as the leader and center."

"This team needs various professionals from Wall Street."

David stopped smiling and continued seriously: "When you are recruiting people, business ability, communication skills, etc. are not the focus. The most important thing is to recruit professional talents with good character and tight-lipped words!"

Sam nodded silently, indicating that he understood.

In fact, when he was on the top floor of the Blue Crystal, after hearing David asking everyone about positioning, when he got home, he had already figured out his position in the team.

Sam, who has worked at Goldman Sachs for four years, just listens to the big plans that David and Nylent talk about, and if he really wants to get involved, it's okay. .

Haha~ Stop making trouble~ Sam himself felt that there was nothing wrong with it. .possible!

David now asked him to form his own financial team, which made Sam think for a moment. Even if David had Morgan Stanley behind him, he had no intention of relying entirely on Stanley~

Does David want the small team formed by Sam to make some more secretive investments for himself, his family, and the company?

When David saw Sam nodding, he seemed to have figured out something and didn't explain any more.

"Wait a minute, you go directly to Mr. Nelent Ramon and tell him that I want to rent a big office in Stanley to serve as the office location for your small team~"

"Sam, most of your working time will probably be at Morgan Stanley in the future. I need you to help me observe Morgan Stanley's changes after completing the work assigned by me. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Okay~ Our team is a start-up, and we can only let you do this for the time being... now we are the big housekeeper~"

"When you recruit people, you can pay them more generously!"

"At the same time, you... help me find a secretary or assistant at work."

David pointed to the pile of folders on the table and said with a smile: "If I didn't have help, I wouldn't be able to handle them in a short time~"

Sam smiled and nodded in agreement. .

"Okay~ Yuri will follow you for the time being. You can teach him the basic knowledge of Wall Street~"

"Yuri, Wall Street, as a New Yorker, you may have heard about it since you were a kid~"

"This is the arena where elite talents from all over the United States have always been..."

"When Sam is looking for new members of the small team, you should follow them and listen carefully. If you encounter something you don't understand, you can write it down first and find time to ask Sam for advice!"

"When this small team is fully established, you can choose to join Sam's team, or... I will arrange for you to try other jobs..."

"Okay boss!" Yuri looked full of energy, which made David couldn't help but nod and smile.

"Sam, try to keep the number of your small team within ten people. After you complete the team formation, I will tell you the follow-up work~"

"Okay~ Let's do this for today~"

David pointed at a pile of folders and joked with a smile: "As a boss who doesn't have his own business yet, I need to start working hard!"

"Yuri, please help me find Giovanni and ask him to bring me some lunch~"

"ok~!"

Sam and Yuri both stood up with a smile, shook hands with David and said goodbye~

After they left, the conference room fell completely silent.

David found a Stanley staff member at the door and asked for help to get a large pot of coffee. .

Morgan Stanley coffee. .

David picked it up and took a sip, feeling the taste in his mouth. .

Emmm. . .

Nothing special~

Looking at the folders on the table, David took the paper and pen and stretched his waist: "Start working~"

----

new York.

A high-rise apartment not far from Central Park.

Barbra Streisand, Xena, and Madonna were chatting happily in the living room when there was a knock on the door.

Barbara and Zina both got up and came to the door. When they opened the door, their old friend Mary Tyler Moore came~

After being introduced by Zina, Mary shook hands with Madonna and greeted her with a smile, and praised her youth and beauty~

In the living room, Barbara brought the small desserts, cookies, and coffee specially prepared in the morning, and asked everyone to help themselves with a smile. .

After that, the three old friends reunited after a long absence and started talking completely ~

Barbara talked about the music album "Streis and Superman" she released last year in collaboration with Barry Gibb, and this year she released her second personal music selection album "Greatest Hits. Vol. 2".

These two albums have brought many surprises to her singing career, and for the next album that Barbara is preparing, she has already reached an agreement with BeeGees member Barry Gibb, who will tailor several songs for Barbara!

Mary Tyler Moore also talked about some of her recent thoughts and troubles~

My sister Elizabeth died of a drug overdose~

The marriage between her and her second husband Tinker also began to show frequent red lights~

"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" ended last year, and her portrayal of Mary was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. .Now Moore is finding it difficult to shake off the screen image of Mary Richards that has left a lasting impression on audiences. .

Perhaps this is the biggest trouble in the profession of actors~

After being solidified in a certain role, it is difficult to change the audience's positioning of the actor~

So Mary plans to look for more TV series, variety shows and special programs again, trying to slowly get rid of the impressive image of Mary Richards, and find a new breakthrough point for her acting career!

Madonna sat and listened to Barbara and Mary talking about her experiences and plans, and her heartbeat began to accelerate!

These two most famous female singers and actresses in the United States are now sitting in front of her!

While Madonna was excited in her heart, she looked at Zina sitting between Barbara and Mary!

After coming to New York, Madonna met all kinds of people and experienced various bizarre encounters. She was able to meet Xina and become a... .Valued by David. .The little singer is the most lucky to have lived to such an old age!

In the living room, the three old friends seemed to have completely forgotten Madonna's existence. They all used their most relaxed postures, sitting or lying down, to talk about their past and thoughts with their old friends.

After listening to Mary's idea, Zina smiled and said: "Mary, my current company boss plans to invest in a TV series. If you are interested, I can... introduce it to you!"

"Oh? Yes...what's the subject? Where was it filmed?"

"New York, with a bar on 42nd Street in Manhattan as the background, tells some interesting stories about the daily operation of the bar and the interactions between the drinkers~ It can be regarded as... a comedy of life~"

Mary frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. Her last TV series was an urban life comedy~

If she wants to get rid of the constraints imposed by the image in the drama on her future performances, she needs to find a different TV series and play a role. .A much different character, to escape the shadow that Mary Richards had loomed over her. .Shadow~!

Barbara and Zina looked at each other, both knowing what Mary was thinking~

Barbara smiled and said: "Mary, I think this TV series Zina mentioned is very suitable for you!"

"The character you played in the last "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" used Mary Richards's experience and perspective to show how she discovered her true inner thoughts and loved herself in the bizarre metropolis. story~"

"It tells all female viewers how to solve, express themselves, and vent when they face various problems and difficulties!"

A flash of light flashed in Zina's eyes, and she added: "If friendship is the best support and destination that women can hope for in New York, then men... are just the layer of cream and icing on a delicious and beautiful cake. That’s it!”

Barbara, Mary, Madonna to Xina. .Metaphorically, I deeply feel that Zina's perspective on her own life has reached a level that none of them could have imagined. .height ~

Mary looked at her old friend Zina curiously: "Have you had any new ideas recently?"

Zina smiled brightly and flipped up her loose hair: "A few days ago, if someone hadn't saved me, I might have left New York and gone to Los Angeles!"

"what?"

None of the three knew about Zina's experience, and they were waiting for her follow-up explanation with curiosity in their eyes.

And Xina. .But he had no intention of saying anything further. .

She smiled and changed the subject: "Mary, one of the creative staff of this TV series I'm talking about is a street girl who once lived in Manhattan!"

"Her life experiences are things that none of us have ever been exposed to!"

"And the main scene of this TV series takes place in an ordinary bar that can be found everywhere in Manhattan~"

"It welcomes all kinds of people every day, experiencing and witnessing various joys, helplessness, sadness, or cruel realities~"

Zina said with a hint of longing on her face: "I... I don't know how people will view it after it is filmed~"

"I have talked with the main creators~ Their idea is... to restore New York and Manhattan to the greatest extent, and restore the real life experienced by the people here~!"

"Mary Richards is a classic TV character~"

"But she has always had the screenwriter and director in her body, as well as some of the ideals and expectations you gave her, Mary~"

"She seemed to me a great female character, but she wasn't real!"

"Real life is always inseparable from dullness and cruelty!"

"The former street girl, now the main creative staff of this TV series, Tangtang, in my opinion, she is closer to our lives than the Mary Richards you played~!"

"So Mary, I can ask Tangtang to meet and chat with you, talk about her experiences, and talk about this comedy that reflects the lives of people in the real world. Can you find a transformational role for yourself in it?"

After listening to this, Mary picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then nodded slowly and said, "Okay~"

"Maybe what you said is right~"

"There is a huge contrast between Mary Richards' ideal experience for all women and the real life experience of women in New York in this show. Maybe it will bring about some changes in the eyes of the audience for me!"

"Haha~ ok~ Then should I contact this Tangtang now?"

Barbara smiled and pulled Zina up: "The phone is over there~ Now you have piqued my interest and I want to meet this Tangtang!"

Zina went to make a phone call~

Barbara returned to her seat, looked at her old friend Mary, thought for a moment, and softly analyzed: "This TV series has a bar as the main scene. There are so many characters and performance angles that you can choose from. ~"

"You can be a bar girl who has worked hard and struggled in New York for many years, and finally chose to accept the reality and work in a bar~"

"Or... be a single mother with several children... continue to experience life with your own persistence and dreams... being abandoned by a scumbag after taking advantage of him... life~"

"Or...you can be more daring! Be a...street girl?? Go and act out on the streets of Manhattan..."

As Barbara spoke, all kinds of strange ideas in her mind were constantly explored. .Almost seven or eight characters were told that were suitable for Mary’s current transformation. .

Mary opened her mouth in surprise, somewhat aroused by Barbara's suggestions. .Shocked!

She repeated in a low voice the characters that Barbara said: "The bar girl who was tortured by metropolitan life and chose to accept the reality; the single parent who had several children but was still optimistic and never gave up on his desire for happiness. Mom, she came to Manhattan when she was young and worked as a street girl to make ends meet... Even in middle age she is still... a poor woman?"

"The former full-time housewife, after being abandoned by her husband, left the cage-like home and searched for herself in New York...life?"

"An out-of-school college student who wants to settle down in New York after more than ten years of wandering, running around, and living a decadent life?"

"A man who dreams of being an actor or a singer in New York is hit and ravaged by reality again and again, and finally chooses... to be manipulated by those so-called powerful and wealthy men?"

"Or... can you create an alternative new female character who keeps fighting back from the bottom?"

"No~ Her success may allow the audience to superimpose her and Mary Richards' experiences on top of each other~"

"It's so difficult for an ordinary woman to succeed in a big city like New York. There's even a one-in-[-] chance of success!"

Mary sat on the couch, lost in something. .A state of obsession. .

She didn't realize that the three people around her were all following what she said, lowering their heads and thinking silently. .Check it with yourself!

ten minutes later.

Mary finally came out of this state. She took a long breath, picked up the coffee, drank it, looked at Zina with a wry smile and said, "Sorry~"

"I... have been troubled by the character of Mary Richards for almost two years~ It's really..."

Zina waved her hand and said: "It doesn't matter~ As long as I can help you~ I can do anything you want! Haha~"

Barbara smiled and continued: "The Tangtang you mentioned, will she come?"

"Of course~ I also asked her to bring us some delicious lunch~"

"Barbara~ Do you have a wine bar here? I think everyone can sit down and have a drink together~"

"Yes~ there must be!"

"I came back from Los Angeles with two full boxes of red wine produced last year. It tastes very good. Let's each have one bottle today. We won't go home until we're drunk!"

Zina raised her eyebrows and looked at Barbara in surprise, knowing that there was going to be another good show today~

This old friend is a bad drinker. .He always yelled that he would not come back until he was drunk. .

This is at her house. .I got drunk after a few sips. .Of course, you won’t come home until you’re drunk!

new York.

Manhattan.

It's already lunch time.

At the door of Bonini's restaurant, there was a sign saying it was temporarily closed.

In the restaurant, Ludy, Mike Bai and Matthews sat together.

At some dining tables around the three of them, there were scattered gang bosses who had signed the Bonini Agreement!

"Ding~ring~ring~"

In the direction of the door of Bonini's restaurant, the last gang leader who attended the meeting opened the door and walked in.

He glanced around the quiet restaurant, greeted everyone with a smile, and found a seat for himself to sit down.

Matthews motioned to Ludy.

Lu Di nodded, stood up, walked to the middle, and said loudly: "Thank you everyone for coming~"

“I’ve prepared a sumptuous Italian-style lunch for everyone~”

"Everyone can listen to me while eating~"

As he said that, in the back kitchen, several people who didn't look like waiters were carrying large dinner plates and serving food to the gang bosses present. .

Shinny, a gang leader in the Bronx, glanced at Alto Sidric who was serving food in a funny way.

"What...are you doing?"

Alto smiled and served several dishes to Xinni and said: "I'm just a temporary guest, just to help~!"

"Oh? Haha~ What is Ludy doing today?"

Alto smiled and shook his head: "You will know soon!"

"Um..Okay~"

Xinni glanced at the big guys around him, shook his head, picked up the tableware, looked at the dishes on the table in front of him, and prepared to feast.

Lu Di stood quietly and waited until the dishes were all served before he continued: "I know, everyone is very curious."

"I stand here today, not on behalf of the Sidrich family, but... on behalf of the DA Security Company!"

"Everyone knows about the heavy rain a while ago!"

"On a day when it rained heavily, Chep Santacruz Londono, the drug lord of the Cali Cartel in Colombia, found a killer to follow David Coleman."

"Fortunately, because of the heavy rain that day, the killer did not find a suitable opportunity to attack David."

"We discovered the killer in time when he followed David."

"After we called the police, we were arrested by the police!"

"After subsequent investigation, we found that this Rondono is in Colombia, but the Cali Group is in New York and has many subordinates and partners!"

Lu Di stared at everyone with sharp eyes and said solemnly: "We are not interested in knowing who their collaborators are!"

"I asked you to come here today because I want to get some information from you!"

"Anyone related to the Cali Cartel, in New York City... ALL THE INFORMATION!"

"The soldiers from the security company have been fully armed and assembled!"

"The police will also send a large number of police personnel to participate in this operation."

Lu Di's voice gradually became louder: "We must clear out all the Cali Group's people in New York before sunset today!"

"Anyone who dares to use weapons will be killed on the spot!"

"Guys, please help tell us the information you know!"

"After today, before we deal with the Rondono matter, we will carry out a comprehensive stranglehold on the Cali Group in New York!"

"Everyone has some lunch time to think about it~"

"We are all collaborators - there is absolutely no need to have conflicts over those Colombian drug lords!"

"I promise that as long as this matter can be resolved perfectly, you can still do business with the Cali Group in the future!"

"We will never hold everyone accountable for this matter!"

"After all, Londono cannot represent the entire Cali group!"

“Everyone, in the end we have to do business!”

Lu Di stopped talking and waited quietly for a moment. Seeing that no one spoke first among the people in the restaurant, he shrugged.

"Don't waste food, everyone! This meal is paid for by me personally!"

"Haha~ Alright~ Let's talk after dinner!"

After saying that, Ludy walked back to his seat, glanced at Matthews, signaled to him, picked up the tableware, and started eating the dishes. .

Mike Bai, who was sitting at the same table with him and had just started eating, swallowed the food in the air, looked around at the big guys in the restaurant, and said to Lu Di.

"Won't you tell David about this?"

Lu Di glanced sideways at Mike Bai, stuffed a small piece of fish meat into his mouth and said, "What are you telling him to do? Are you going to scare him to death?"

"Uh...hahaha~ That's right!"

Mike Bai remembered that David was a coward and couldn't help laughing.

Matthews silently picked up the tableware, watched Mike Bai laugh, and watched Ludy devour the food.

He felt it himself. .No appetite at all!

His xxx!

I was fooled!

----

Miami.

Outside the house where Cohen and the others were, there was a sound of brakes.

He had been standing by the window, observing the jackals outside, and turned back and nodded to Cohen and Rambo.

It's Bog Beru here!

There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs.

Baoge Beru asked the two people he brought to wait at the door, and he opened the door of the room himself.

In the room, there was a man wearing a black hood. .woman?Sitting at the table.

Cohen, Rambo, and Jackal all looked at him silently and nodded to him.

Bog Beru stepped forward and wanted to take off Blanco's headgear.

Cohen took a big step, shook his head to stop: "She... belongs to you! Let your people take her away, I have something to say!"

Bog Beru stared at Cohen, not knowing what he was thinking.

He reached out and pulled Blanco, asked her to stand up, and handed her to the two men at the door.

Before Blanco went out, he turned back and shouted: "One week!"

Cohen sneered and didn't answer.

Bog Beru patiently listened to the retreating footsteps on the stairs, walked to the window, watched his men take Blanco into the car, then closed the window and frowned.

"What do you... want to do? Why didn't you follow the previous plan?"

Cohen put a warm smile on his face, winked at the jackal, and gestured for Bog Beru to sit down.

"We contacted the boss~ He has no interest in your plan~"

"So... we chose to take action in advance!"

Bog Beru's brows knitted into a knot. .

He had no expectation that Cohen would act according to the plan. What he said just now was just a test.

And, for what Cohen said. .The boss was not interested in his plan. .It was also within his expectation~

The DEA (Federal Drug Enforcement Administration), FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), and CIA (Federal Central Intelligence Agency), three domestic law enforcement agencies in the United States have joined forces. .Choose to cooperate with Griselda Blanco, a female drug lord, to rectify and manage the future security situation in Miami?

This is ****. .

The boss of the security company would only choose to get involved in this muddy water unless his brain was caught in the door!

"What are you going to do?"

Bog Beru looked at the hot coffee that Jackal poured for him, and asked with a relaxed expression.

"You can't reveal the information about our security company to anyone!"

"We will contact Blanco, and she will voluntarily donate money for us to purchase some of the latest weapons and equipment."

"Within a week, she will invite two drug lords in Colombia to come to Miami."

"After we get the money and meet people, we will leave Miami~"

"When the time comes, this place will completely belong to you! Man~haha!"

Bog Beru doesn’t believe Cohen’s nonsense~

He picked up the coffee, thought for a moment and said, "Where are the veterans who contacted you? Where will they go?"

"them.."

The expression on Cohen's face showed a look of thinking. .

"I will tell the boss that it would be best if these soldiers could come back to New York with us!"

"If... they don't want to go, or if the boss doesn't agree... I will give them a sum of money and let them... live in a place they like!"

"Give them...money?"

"How much?"

Cohen narrowed his eyes and his throat moved slightly: "Do you... want to sponsor some for us?"

Bog Beru would have to be crazy to give these veterans money. .

He laughed and said, "I want to say, if they are willing to stay in...Miami, maybe I can provide them with a job!"

"Haha~ I will tell them!"

There was a hint of danger in Cohen's eyes that made Bog Beru feel dangerous. .

He blew the hot coffee hard, took a small sip with a relaxed expression on his face and said, "ok~"

Cohen's eyes did not change, he licked his lips and said, "My boss has his own ideas~"

"He may not care too much about the information you accidentally revealed~"

"But... we don't want to hear any bad news about him!!"

"Miami is a beautiful city~ This time we came here on a mission and didn't have a good tour~"

"If necessary, we...will come again!"

Bog Beru's hand paused.

He adjusted his breathing, put down the coffee cup, and said with a smile: "Then, you must tell me ~ I will definitely arrange the best girls for you!"

Cohen looked at him, Jackal and Rambo took steps, their hands naturally dropped, and they leaned closer.

Baoge Beru could clearly feel a sense of oppression emanating from the three of them.

His mind was racing and he said quickly: "We will temporarily detain Blanco and find an opportunity to place some of our own people around her."

"And place bugs at her usual places to keep an eye on her movements."

"Also, we have complete control over the whereabouts of her sons..."

Cohen raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and interrupted Borg Beru: "Don't tell me this! We are not interested in knowing!"

"You have also been in New York and know how our security company was built from scratch!"

"So, don't do anything stupid! ~Dude!"

"ok~I understand!"

"When I came to Miami, I just wanted to make a steady pension, and then go to a certain corner of the world to enjoy life!"

"Haha~ Your idea is good~"

"When you are leaving, remember to tell us and let's have a party together!"

Bog Beru cursed in his heart: Tell you?Am I stupid?

"Okay, man~"

"Then... I'll leave first?"

Cohen tilted his head and glanced at Rambo and Jackal. Seeing that they had no objection, he nodded and said: "One week! In one week, we will all return to New York safely!"

Borg Belu extended his right hand to Cohen and said with a smile: "Definitely! I promise!"

"Hahaha~"

"Then we won't send you off!"

"Haha~ No, no, no, no~"

Bog Beru strode downstairs, got in the car, and disappeared around the corner. .

Cohen stood by the window, his brows slowly widening: "A week's time! ~ We need to make some preparations!"

Jackal walked to the edge of the chair and sat down, yawned and said, "Should we contact the boss and tell him the latest situation here?"

Rambo also sat down, thought for a while, and shook his head: "It's better to wait... until everything is settled, let's contact David again!"

Jackal squinted his eyes and said to Rambo: "Have you forgotten that our security company has another boss?"

Cohen returned to the table and sat down with a smile, flicking his fingers on the coffee cup that Bog Beru had just drank from.

"That's what I said to scare him..."

"The security company we work for is not only valued by David...hehe~"

"In the eyes of others, it may be just a... toy~!"

Jackal and Rambo were silent.

They have met both Giles and Pine of the Morgan family.

Let’s talk about these two people’s views on the security company. .

Maybe that's what Cohen said. .Yes!

David is the only one who values ​​these soldiers who cannot return home due to various reasons that people can tell!
