Manhattan Reborn 1978

San Francisco.

Club 39, North Beach.

David and the others walked around the retro octagonal pavilion a few times. After satisfying their curiosity, they all sat down.

She had been silent just now, and following a few people, a tall and hot Hispanic beauty wearing a professional woman's single-button suit trousers walked up to them, stood still, nodded to Blumer, and said with a smile. .

"Hello, Mr. Wharton, it is an honor to serve you again!"

"Hi~Sandra~These are all my good friends, and they came here to have a look today~"

With a sincere smile on her face, Sandra nodded slightly and said: "Hello, gentlemen, welcome to our club~"

"If you need anything, just ask and I will serve you wholeheartedly!"

Giles and Leslie both smiled and nodded, looking at Bloomer.

Blumer looked at David with a smile on his face: "Tell me~"

David raised his eyebrows. Was he trying to make a fool of himself?

Sandra said nothing about the club, so what does that say to him?

"Um... Hi Sandra, what services do you provide here?"

"Hello sir, what service would you like?"

"Do you have what I want here? What services do you have here?"

"Sir, no matter what needs you have, we will find a way to meet your needs. If our club cannot meet your needs, I can also introduce you to a place that can meet your needs!"

hey~

This is an experienced driver~!

The car had just been put into gear and without releasing the handbrake, Sandra started to step on the accelerator. .

Bloomer and the others couldn't help laughing while listening to the conversation between David and Sandra. .

David raised his hand and touched his nose, his eyes swept over the faces of several bad friends, and asked, "Um... I saw many girls playing here in the hall? Who are they?"

Sandra tilted her head slightly, faced David and smiled: "They are all college students from several nearby universities. Our boss has set a rule that as long as any girls want to come to the club to play, they can enter for free. And enjoy the most favorable discounts on consumption~”

"And... when they leave the club, we can also provide them with a cheap, convenient and safe ride home!"

"Well.."

David couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and continued to ask: "...Your boss does this, can you tell me why?"

"I'm sorry, sir, I don't know why the boss did this. He never explained it to us!"

"Okay~ Then...if we want to invite a few people to have a drink and chat with us...can you help?"

Sandra smiled and spread her hands: "Of course~ I can convey your thoughts to the girls, but who is willing to accept your invitation? They need to make their own decision!"

"...Is this so? It's interesting~!"

David somewhat guessed what the club owner was thinking. .

man~

There will always be times when someone becomes blindly confident in their own charm, or is overly unconfident.

The owner of this club may have run the place like this just to capture the psychological needs of some people. .

David showed his hands to several bad friends: "Don't you say something?"

This kid Giles, even though he can talk and laugh when he is with David Bloomer, when they go out to play together, his mouth is like glue, and he shakes his head at David, indicating that he is fine. .

Leslie, seeing him shaking his head, shook his head with a smile and said: "I can't figure it out, what services do you provide here?... It's up to you to answer such a funny question~"

Bloomer laughed even more. .

"Yes, David~ What you think is what we think. Hahahaha~"

"you.."

David glanced at Sandra, who was standing there with a smile on her face, and chose to change the topic and asked: "I see the pavilion you have here? Are they all designed according to your boss's ideas?"

"Yes, sir, please see, the three pavilions you are here are all replicas of different garden pavilion styles in ancient China."

"Look over there, there are small leisure buildings that are replicas of ancient Greek style, ancient Roman style, Byzantine style, Renaissance style, Baroque style, etc."

"For these buildings, our boss invited many very professional historians and architects from various countries to design and build these buildings."

"So every building you see costs a lot of money and requires the most professional maintenance to prevent..."

Sandra smiled and gestured in the direction of the sea, and then said: "Gentlemen, you should know that the corrosive power of the sea wind is very strong. If maintenance work is not done properly, these buildings will have usage problems in a few years."

While listening to Sandra's story, several people looked into the distance where the lights were not bright. .

David just thought that the dozen or so here were all these retro Chinese pavilions, but he didn't expect them. .The buildings in the darkness in the distance here have different styles. They have styles from all eras~

"Hmm... I didn't expect you to have so many retro buildings here~ But when I look at it... why are there so few people here?"

"Haha~ That's right sir. Our old customers here all like to come here during the day, choose a favorite courtyard, blow the sea breeze, and enjoy a moment of relaxation~"

"In the evening, our old customers here like to go to the private room upstairs to meet up with old friends for drinks and chat~"

As she spoke, Sandra waved her hand and gestured towards the main building of the club behind her~

When David heard what she said, he asked a few of his friends, "What about us? Let's go up and have a look too?"

"Okay~ let's go!" Giles was the first to make the decision and stood up directly.

Leslie also stood up with a smile and said to Sandra: "Please go and ask which girls are willing to drink and chat with us~"

"No problem! I'll find someone to take you to the room upstairs first~!"

Blumer stood up carelessly: "Hey~ we can go up by ourselves~ just follow the old way and serve us fruits and snacks~"

"Okay, Mr. Wharton!"

----

Blumer led the way and led several people along the stairs to a room on the third floor of the club.

This is a large room of nearly 200 square meters. In the middle is a conference living room and several groups of leather sofas. On the left is a professional bar with wine racks filled with various famous wines. On the far right is a table where you can play cards. , independent open small room for meetings.

"Hmm...~The design here is really interesting~"

Leslie walked around the room and praised with satisfaction.

When David saw the bar, he walked over with itchy hands and picked up various famous wines one by one. He looked at them and admired them in his heart. .

This is ****!

In his last life, David and his boss went to what is known as the most luxurious private club in a big eastern city~

The design and taste inside are just the scene in front of you~

But you know, that was more than 20 years later. .

Bloomer couldn't help but laugh when he saw David walking into the bar and checking the bottles one by one.

"What? Are your hands itchy? Hahaha~ Give us some of your best cocktails!"

"okay!"

David tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded readily and agreed~

Speaking of bartending, David’s hands are really itchy after not doing it for a long time~

Leslie and Giles also came over to join in and sit on the high stools at the bar with Bloomer.

David took off his jacket and tie, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and checked the bartending tools and glasses~

"Bloomer, you brought us here today not just to see those girls and those retro buildings, right?"

"Haha~ Of course!"

Bloomer explained to the three of them after motioning to David to get him a rainbow cocktail.

"You have all seen the club. The boss here is the person I want to introduce to you and get to know you!"

"The boss here, his surname is Rothschild!"

"Oh?"

Blumer's words aroused the interest of the three people.

Giles frowned slightly and asked, "Are you talking about...Carnes?"

"Haha, yes! It's him!"

"Well... since when did he have this club in San Francisco?"

"Ha~ you don't know yet?"

Blumer glanced at Leslie, who shrugged and said, "I don't know any Karnes~ If you know something, just tell me~"

"it is good!"

Bloomer pretended to clear his throat: "I won't say more about Rothschild. As for Carnes, I met him when Giles and I went to Europe~"

"Giles would always disappear inexplicably in London at that time... Hehe~ I went to the cocktail party arranged in advance by myself. At the cocktail party, I met Carnes."

"Actually speaking, Carnes is about the same age as us~ He studied at Oxford University~"

"When I was chatting with him, I felt that it was very interesting, so I made an appointment to contact him after he comes to the United States~"

"A few days ago, I returned to California from New York. He contacted me at that time. We met here twice more and had a great chat."

Bloomer took the rainbow cocktail from David, admired its psychedelic colors, took a sip, nodded in admiration, and continued.

"Giles, you have heard of Carnes' name, but you haven't met him yet, right?"

"Yeah~ I didn't go to see... Kylena at that time~" Giles glanced at Leslie with a guilty look and muttered in a low voice. .

After hearing this, Leslie joked: "Oh~ Kylena went to London, you can't wait, right? Haha~"

"Hahaha~" Everyone smiled and looked at Giles, who was blushing and embarrassed. .

David smiled, handed the cocktail he had mixed in his hand to Leslie, and said, "Bloomer, what next? Did you talk about anything interesting here?"

"Haha~ Yes~ Karnes told me about his experience of getting rich!"

"Get rich? Are you kidding me? As a member of the Rothschild family, do you still need money?"

Leslie, Bloomer, and Giles couldn't help but do this to David. .He was careless and rolled his eyes.

"Nonsense~ Who would dislike having a lot of money? Just because the family is rich doesn't mean that all the descendants of the family are rich!"

"Besides, the Rothschild family treats its young children and will only provide job opportunities to a small number of them who pass the examination."

"The remaining young children can only live a life without worries about food and clothing with the allocation of the family trust fund~"

"Kanes is a guy who takes his annual pocket money, but is unwilling to do so. He wants to do something big and prove himself~"

Blumer was talking about Karnes with a self-deprecating smile on his face. .

For a moment, Giles and Leslie next to them also fell into silence~

Are the three of them not the same as Kanes?

David was holding a golden rum with ice in his hand, looking at the expressions of the three of them, shaking his head slightly and saying: "Hey, Bloomer, you are off topic!"

"What did this Kanes tell you?"

"Oh... Haha~ He just entered Oxford University a few years ago, during the last oil crisis~"

"He saw the news on TV, and after analysis, he knew it was a good investment opportunity, so he borrowed 3000 million pounds from his family and bought gold and oil futures~"

"As a result...in less than two years, his investment nearly quadrupled!"

Bloomer looked like this guy had stepped on shit, and spread his hands: "So... you can almost guess what happens next~"

"Kanes also took out all the loans. After graduating from Oxford University, he purchased real estate, yachts, and private jets all over the world. He completely realized his original dream of proving his dream to his family~!"

"Guys, that guy from Canes once said to me that this club was a little dream he had when he was studying history. Now that he has money, he has made it come true. Haha~"

David understood the jealousy in Bloomer's words. .I asked feeling funny.

"...Is that why you thought of borrowing money from your father to participate in this investment?"

"Yes ~ Kanes succeeded ~ I believe we will also succeed!"

"Ha~ okay~ thank you for trusting me buddy!"

David suddenly felt a lot of pressure on his shoulders. .

He raised his wine glass and touched Blumer's glass lightly~

"Where's Carnes? Is he in San Francisco? Can you contact him so we can meet and get to know each other?"

"He~ haha~ he is vacationing in the Aegean Seaside villa in Athens~ When he comes to the United States, I will introduce him to everyone!"

Leslie and Giles, one stared at Bloomer and the other stared at David, but neither of them spoke~

The four people had different thoughts in their hearts, thinking about their own things.

door of the room.

After Sandra knocked on the door gently, she walked in with several young and beautiful girls.

"Gentlemen~Excuse me!"

"These beautiful ladies want to get acquainted with you! Do you think so?"

Bloomer, as the host tonight, put down his cup with a smile and walked towards the girls.

"Welcome~ We are very happy to have you join us~ If you have any needs, you can ask Sandra~"

At this time, Leslie also relaxed a little and said with a smile: "Yes~ We have a handsome bartender David from New York~"

"You will definitely like the various cocktails he makes! Haha~"

Giles was on the side, his little eyes darting back and forth, listening to Leslie's words, and nodding along. .

David put down his glass with a look of helplessness and complained to Leslie: "Hey~ I'm here to have fun~ I'm not here to mix drinks for you!"

"Haha~ Is there any difference? Don't you like bartending?"

"I like it, but you can't..."

"Hey~ stop talking!"

"Come on, come on, everyone can sit wherever you want, and you can tell David whatever you want to drink~haha~"

"Tsk~ You guys forget your friends when you see a girl!"

David watched Bloomer lead the girls to sit on the sofa. Leslie and Giles also brought their own glasses of wine and leaned over, unable to help but laugh and curse. .

Among the several bad friends, Giles, who seemed the most kind, sat on the sofa, approached a girl, signaled to David, and shouted: "Hey David, give the girls a few cups of rainbow, what do you think?" Sample?"

"shxx! Okay~wait!"

new York.

42nd Street, Wildfire Bar.

It's past midnight, but the number of pedestrians walking on the street shows no sign of decreasing~

Carew parked the car on the street, slowly got out of the car, stood on the street and looked around, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and stopped at the door of Alston's office.

Tonight, Carew arranged a total of three groups and seven people to accomplish eight goals!

The difficulty is not reliable manpower, but finding the real-time locations of these eight targets and getting rid of the people around them ~

Kalu did everything Xinni told him, everything he could and should do.

All that's left is waiting.

However, waiting also needs to be in the right place!

A place where you can keep yourself safe without leaving any evidence or arousing people’s suspicion~

Inspector Allston, Street Informant Office!

It was only after Karu thought about it for a long time that he came up with the best place to show up!

. . .

Karu glanced back at the Wildfire Bar.

The bar is crowded and business is very good~

He thought about it, threw away the cigarette butt, stamped it out, and walked into the bar~

A few minutes later, holding a dozen beers in his hand, he walked to Alston's office across the street~

new York.

Little Odessa, Brooklyn.

Yuri Orlov was lying on the bed in his small bedroom, looking out at the starry sky from the window, feeling a little sleepless~

Tonight, he had a fourth phone call with the goddess of his dreams, Ava Fangtian. .

The two of them talked on the phone for nearly an hour~

Yuri told Ava Fangtian about his current work and life, half bragging and half truth~

He also learned about Ava’s recent situation from his chat with her~

Ava Fangtian, who had a similar childhood to Yuri, is a great beauty among the descendants of immigrants from the Crimean Peninsula~

And in the city of New York, she is working as a model, but her life is not as glamorous and carefree as people see~

So the two of them have a lot of common language and childhood experiences that they can talk to each other about~

It was precisely because the two gradually deepened their understanding of each other that Yuri gradually understood some of Ava's thoughts and expectations about her own life and her future partner.

Judging from the information Yuri already knows, Ava does not have excessive requirements for money and material aspects of her future life.

She just wants a husband who truly loves her and a warm, harmonious, happy family with lovely children~

Love?

Yuri is very confident about this!

Available for families. .Yuri didn't know if he could give Ava what she wanted. .That kind of happy life~

In New York, Yuri wants to start a happy family with Ava but has no money. .Don’t even think about it!

So, make money!

This is the issue he needs to consider most now!

Yuri felt a little cold, turned over, covered himself with a thin quilt, and inadvertently saw a large pile of folders not far from the bedside~

These folders are all study materials that Sam has given him in recent days~

Yuri Orlov was a scumbag when he was in school. .

When he saw the pile of folders Sam gave him, he felt extremely reluctant to look at them. .

But~

After listening to the introduction, Yuri knew that the information Sam gave him was completely different from what was in the school textbooks~

It contains basic financial knowledge that Sam and Leon helped collect and organize, as well as many very practical classic operation case analysis and experience summaries~

. . .

Yuri raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows and temples. He sat up holding the quilt and stared blankly at the pile of folders.

The information was given to me.

I wonder if you can learn useful knowledge from this. It depends on Yuri’s own efforts~

Yuri's mind echoed with the soft words she confided to him during the phone call with Ava, and he felt a pressure and motivation welling up from his heart at the same time~

Yuri's scalp felt numb~

He raised his hand and rubbed his cheek, trying to wake himself up~

He threw away the quilt, went to the floor, took out a few folders from the pile of folders, returned to the bed, took a few deep breaths by the bedside lamp, and looked attentively and seriously.

I want to successfully marry Ava Fangtian as my wife and give her a happy and warm home~

You have to work hard and make more money!

----

new York.

53rd Street, Manhattan.

Zina carried the small bag, got out of the car, walked to the door, waved to Harvey who sent her back, and watched Harvey's car disappear at the far corner of the street.

Today, when Zina was working on the script with everyone at Da Film and Television Company, she unexpectedly welcomed two visitors, Terri Shields and her daughter Brooke Shields.

I don’t know where Terry Shields, the mother of Brooke Shields, New York’s most popular child star in the past two years, learned that Mary Tyler Moore would participate in a TV series. .

However, Zina doesn't have any good feelings from the bottom of her heart towards Terry Shields, who uses her daughter to realize her dream of becoming a star. .

Brooke Shields, a 14-year-old girl, was assigned by her mother Terry Shields to play a role in a feature film when she was 12 years old. .

This arrangement of Terry Shields made Brooke Shields become the focus of fierce debate in various media!

But Terry Shields didn't take it seriously. Instead, she was proud of it. She felt that her daughter Brooke Shields was born to be a big star~

What she is doing is just to speed up the process and let more people know about her daughter and like her~

. . .

After Zina understood the purpose of Terri Shields' visit through chatting, she tactfully told the other party about the progress of the TV series production and the crew's funding. She was not interested in the guest role of Brooke Shields. Fund planning. .

After hearing these excuses from Zina, Terri Shields smiled and made it clear that her daughter wanted to participate in this TV series just to take advantage of Mary Tyler Moore's high popularity and popularity. She had no requirements for remuneration. !

Zina. .What more can be said?

Should you go and tell her: Your daughter Brooke Shields is too controversial?

Are you a mother who is too eager for quick success?

hehe~

Finally, after seeking the opinions of Da Film and Television Company and the TV series production team, Zina told Terri Shields that Brooke Shields could play a guest role in this drama.

The crew will customize the setting of this character according to her age and controversial nature!

This answer made Terry Xiaosi very satisfied. She took her daughter, thanked the crew in person, and left happily~

After she left, Zina thought for a moment and told the crew about Brooke Shields, the child star's past, in detail.

At that time, everyone who listened to Zina's introduction felt that their world view was somewhat different. .It broke apart~

Are there still such mothers in the world?

Using his underage daughter, relying on the child's angelic beautiful face and immature body, to realize the illusory dream of stardom?

This is Terri Shields. .Really her xx. .What a weird thing!

After listening to everyone's exclamations and complaints, Xina smiled and shook her head: "Brooke Shields is such a beautiful child!"

"If she were my daughter, I would definitely let her receive a better education and make her a real star and a real winner!"

Zina's hypothesis aroused a resonance among everyone~

But, this is just what if~

Zina is not Brooke Shields' mother, and she can't control the child's fate~

. . .

53rd Street, in front of the apartment.

Zina put back her somewhat chaotic thoughts, took out the key, opened the door, and turned on the lights on the first floor.

Miranla, the girl staying at Zina's house, heard the door open downstairs, walked out of her room, went downstairs, and smiled when she saw Zina.

"came back?"

"Yeah~ Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Yes ~ I... have something that I would like to ask for your opinion on!"

"Oh? What's the matter? Come sit down and talk!"

Zina put away her small bag, smiled and took Milanla's hand, and sat on the sofa.

Miranla's little hands were a little cold. She lowered her head slightly and whispered with a slight hesitation in her voice: "My father, mother, and sister knew that I went to Columbia University to study, and they wanted to come to New York to see me~"

"Haha~ This is a good thing! I believe they will be very happy to see your current study life!"

"..Um!"

Miranla nodded slightly, hummed a word from her nose, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Zina thought of something from her expression and asked tentatively: "Are you afraid they will know something? Or are you planning to tell them something?"

Miranla bit her lip, raised her head, the confusion on her face flashed away, and she whispered firmly: "I want to tell them that you funded my study at Columbia University, and there will be no mention of the university. Wei’s matter.”

"Because I'm an adult, this is my own choice in life~"

Zina looked at Miranla with a serious face and thought of Brooke Shields' beautiful face. She couldn't help but raise her hand and stroke her head and said with a smile.

"Okay~ When they come to New York, I can come out and meet them with you~"

"As for what you want to say to your family, it's your own choice. I have no objection!"

"Thank you! Thank you, Xena!"

Miranla opened her arms and hugged Zina tightly.

Zina had a smile on her lips and patted her back gently with her hand~

Miranla is 19 years old this year, if Zina. .If she had had the baby earlier, she might have been as old as Miranla~

Therefore, to Zina, Miranla, the girl she has been getting along with day and night recently, is like half her own child~

Miranla slowly let go of Zina, gently nestled her head in her arms and said.

"I want... to get graduation credits for three subjects this semester!"

"Oh? Three? How many credits do you need to graduate from Columbia University?"

"I asked the professor, I need credits from sixteen subjects~"

"So I plan to get all the credits within two years and graduate early!"

"Two years? Are you too anxious?"

Miranla sat up straight and said slowly and confidently: "No problem, Zina, I can definitely do it!"

"I'm not doubting you... Uh... Okay~ Just don't push yourself too hard~"

"No~Thank you, Zina! Haha~"

Zina shook her head, looking at the smile on Miranla's face, she couldn't help but stroke her hair again, sighing in her heart. .

I wonder what kind of life that silly boy David can give her~

. . .

Madonna, who had returned a little earlier than Zina, was leaning against the staircase wall on the first floor, hiding her figure, and listened to the chat between Zina and Zina.

She listened to Miranla's firm words and her happy laughter later, turned around silently, walked up the stairs quietly, returned to her room, walked to the bed and sat down with her arms around her bent knees. , looking at the ground, starting to be in a daze.

When Madonna stayed here for the night, she learned how hard Miranla worked for college and study~

I also know why Miranla can go to Columbia University to study. .

spell? ! !

Madonna asked herself silently.

What does she want to fight for, and what goals do she have to fight for?

This is an important choice for her, and she needs to think about it seriously!
