Manhattan Reborn 1978

Los Angeles.

The mansion belonging to Bloomer.

David, Giles, and Leslie were arranged in several large rooms on the second floor.

They rested in their respective rooms for a while. David changed out of his suit, found a set of comfortable clothes, sat down and looked through the information given by Panaris again.

Speaking of which, these materials should actually be called the meeting minutes of Stanley's board of directors.

To put it simply, Nylent reached a consensus with the board of directors to investigate and invest in the venture capital projects that David had proposed.

But these investments will not be made in the name of the venture capital fund in which David holds shares.

Instead, the investment will be made in the name of Stanley’s newly established investment department~

When David first read this information, he sighed in his heart, what should come has finally come!

But what he didn't expect was that it would come in this way and at such a fast speed~

It’s still the old saying: Everything itself will have a value measurement standard in people’s eyes!

David understands~

When he chose to accept equity from media companies, insurance companies, and venture capital companies, all the thoughts and ideas he had previously had already been marked with a price tag and sold!

No matter who the bidder is, no matter what they do with these ideas, or how they do it~

None of them have anything to do with David anymore!

Business is business and just business.

David now understands the deeper meaning of this sentence~

No matter how deep his friendship with the Morgan family is, no matter how many ideas and ideas he has come up with before that can double the wealth of the Morgan family.

Basically, David is just a collaborator with the Morgan family~

Any cooperation is not as simple as what people say: joining forces to achieve win-win results!

Cooperation between the strong and the strong can at best be regarded as the result of mutual compromise after weighing one's own efforts and gains based on one's own actual situation.

Cooperation between the strong and the weak is true cooperation!

In David's cooperation with the Morgan family, David is the weak partner who can only control a very small part of the voice~

As a strong person, Morgan can easily break all previous promises at any time~

Let David have no harvest~

The weak man, David, before doing all these things, was already mentally prepared that all his plans would be eaten and he wouldn't even be able to drink the soup~

Pine, Giles, Lilith, and Laura all have good personal friendships with David and have given him all kinds of help in his career.

In David's opinion, these are already earned, extremely profitable!

As for being friends with rich generations like them and maintaining a close relationship to achieve a certain class jump?

hehe~

These are just beautiful looking bubbles!

If you want to be seen by others, gain attention, trust, and respect, you must first be yourself!

Therefore, David could sit down calmly, look at and analyze the information in his hand.

. . .

ten minutes later.

The maid knocked on the door and invited a few people downstairs for some afternoon tea and desserts.

David threw the information in his hand on the sofa next to him and walked out of the room~

"Uh... Giles? Why are you dressed like this?" David looked back at the stairs and saw Giles walking out of the room as well, and smiled.

Giles was wearing a slightly oversized casual long-sleeved shirt and walked up to David with a complicated expression on his face.

"Did I go too far with Bloomer just now?..."

"Haha~ He's such a stinky guy, you should teach him a lesson~ You did the right thing!"

"Huh? You think so too?"

"Hahaha~ That's right~"

"But he's our friend, a good friend, right?"

"Uh...yes!"

"Then we should just pretend that this never happened and just stay the same~"

Giles looked at David with one big eye and one with small eyes: "Did you say the same thing to Bloomer just now?"

"Yeah~ What's wrong?"

"Hey! You guys are really..."

David grabbed his arm and walked downstairs quickly: "Stop talking nonsense~ hurry up and leave!"

"We still need to discuss where to go to play at night!"

"Hey, hey~ slow down!"

David turned a deaf ear and pulled him all the way to the conference living room on the first floor following the maids' instructions~

On the sofa in the living room, Blumer and Leslie were holding coffee, eating small desserts, and chatting.

Seeing David and David arriving, Blumer stood up and said with a smile: "Aren't you still angry with me? I apologize~"

Like an angry child, Giles sat down under David's pull and said, "Big house~ A gift for getting admitted to Harvard~"

"Bloomer, if we didn't come to Los Angeles, would you have kept this in your stomach for the rest of your life?"

David picked up a small cookie and stuffed it into Giles' mouth: "There is so much nonsense! Eat it quickly!"

Bloomer smiled and scratched his head, sat down and said, "Man, I really didn't want to show off anything~ I just wanted to give you a surprise~"

Leslie inserted the knife into him unceremoniously and said: "Yes, surprise! A surprise worth nearly ten million dollars! Haha~"

"Hey~ you just said you had forgiven me!" Blumer muttered with a red face.

David was slightly surprised: "Ten million dollars? This house?"

Leslie hummed slightly teasingly: "With nearly 1000 square meters of land, plus this big house, the price of [-] million dollars is not high anymore~"

"Thirty thousand?" David quickly calculated in his mind.

The simplest rectangular area calculation formula: 100 meters x 300 meters = 3 square meters. .

"Hiss~ Is this place so big?"

"Haha~ What do you think? Didn't you see the courtyard wall in the distance and the size of the backyard?"

David choked on his words. .

Giles gave Bloomer a sour kick: "Your father just gave you such a big house?"

Bloomer pouted: "This is just a consolation prize!"

"We talked once before I went to Harvard. He gave me this house and promised me some reasonable help in starting a business~"

"From now on, my family business will have nothing to do with me~"

"If I fail to start my business or lose all my house, I can only live on the pocket money allocated to me from the family trust every year~"

Bloomer spoke quickly.

David couldn't help but gritted his teeth: "Haha~ In fact, if you don't work hard and study hard, you can still live your life~"

"Although you can't live the life like your father and your brother, it's not difficult to live happily, right?"

Giles, Leslie silently.

Blumer gritted his teeth: "I know, but I don't want to live like that!"

David spread his hands to several people and said with a smile: "So~"

"We are all people who are not content with the status quo and want to change our lives~"

"Although, we may often complain and complain in our mouths and hearts~"

"But in our own hearts, we are still secretly competing with ourselves~"

"We all want to live a better life and be happier~"

"We all want our families to see that we have worked hard and achieved success~"

"We all know what we really want in our hearts~"

"We are also making various efforts towards this, right?"

David was talking to Sanshouyou, but he was also pouring chicken soup to himself in his heart. .

Seeing that the three of them were silent, he stood up with a smile, faced them, and spoke with a louder voice.

"When I first came to New York and worked at the Wildfire Bar, I was just an unconfident young man from a small town~"

"Wildfire, there are bits and pieces of my growth in the past few years~ It also allowed me to find the goal that I am striving for~"

"I went from being an introvert who didn't dare to speak loudly when meeting strangers, to what you see now~"

"I also learned a lot of things that I couldn't learn in school from these guests who came to the bar to drink~"

"Giles, Bloomer, you have both been to the old Wildfire Bar which has not been renovated before~"

"Behind that long bar, I saw too many people indulging in short-term enjoyment!"

"Some people come to Yehuo, drinking strong drinks in big sips, shouting drunken words, and complaining about how unlucky and unsatisfactory their lives are~"

"Some people come to Yehuo and chat about all kinds of beautiful, pretty, sexy, and developed girls, but they forget who they slept in the same bed with in the past few days..."

"Some people make money by controlling the girls on the street, living a squandered life every day, without even thinking about where they will be next week and what they will do~"

"Some people are addicted to drugs for various reasons, but they forget that drugs themselves are things that harm people's body and spirit~"

"They are addicted to it and will only make their lives worse and worse until they reach the point of no return and fall into the abyss!"

"Not to mention those girls who are being controlled on the streets~"

"In my opinion, they are all pitiful and hateful people!"

"The moment they acquiesced that they were being controlled, they had already lost most of their ability to think for themselves!"

"They have completely lost their personal lives and goals, let alone realizing the ignorant dreams they had when they came to New York~"

"Candy!"

"Do you know why I chose to help her?"

"That's because she is the only street girl I know who has always wanted to find a new way out of her bumpy and bad life and change her destiny!"

"So, just after Tangtang told me that the movie I invested in her was a huge success~"

"That night, I was lying in bed, and in my head it was like... a nuclear bomb had gone off!"

"Tangtang can use her own efforts and never give up to change her already terrible life. Why can't I?"

"Compared with Tangtang, what are my advantages?"

"I have a family who loves me, but Tangtang can't compare to me!"

"I have friends I can trust. Tangtang is no better than me!"

"I still have a head full of fantastic ideas, and I can use them to create countless wealth. Tangtang can't compare to me in this!"

"If Tangtang can succeed through hard work, so can I!"

David took a deep breath, and the things he had thought about when he was reading the information upstairs flashed through his mind, and he continued.

"You have become good friends with me, and now you are sitting here, listening to what I say~"

"Actually, it has been proven that your inner thoughts are close to mine, or even the same!"

"There are people like Tangtang around you!"

"You are also filled with thoughts in your heart, or asking yourself, why can't I do it?"

When David said this, he laughed heartily: "You may not know what I was thinking when I got the list of investment amounts in the conference room on the fourth floor of Stanley, right?"

"I was thinking at that time that Bloomer, Giles, and Leslie all affirmed my trust and ability!"

"I will definitely not let their investment go to waste~"

"I must give them once, and give myself once, the success of earning the first pot of gold!"

"We need to understand what we really want in our hearts!"

"We must work tirelessly for it!"

"Guys~ I hope you can be like me!"

"On this road full of ups and downs and difficulties, with you, I am not alone~"

"So, you will move forward with me and face endless challenges and successes, right?"

Bloomer was the first to jump up and shouted with a smile: "Yes~ you bastard! How could I let you stand out alone? Hahaha~"

Giles also stood up and said with inexplicable excitement on his face: "David, what are you... Hey~ Haha~ Let's go together!"

Leslie is the most mature and calm one among them.

But after he finished drinking David's chicken soup, he stood up and said with a smile: "Well... okay! Count me in too~"

"Hahaha~ok~let's go together!"

"Work hard, fight hard, and succeed~haha~"

. .

David's somewhat inexplicable outpouring and encouragement won him unprecedented support from his friends~

They were all more or less touched by David's words, a knot deep in their hearts that they had never mentioned to anyone~

Candy!

Giles, Bloomer, and Leslie all had people who had similar experiences to her!

Therefore, the three of them can resonate with David's idea of ​​a nuclear bomb explosion~

They are all people who are not willing to live the ordinary rich n generation life.

Even if they are not the best people in the family, they are not the ones who take over the family business.

But they are all young, and they all want to prove themselves, and they all want their family and friends to know: I am not a fool who only eats, drinks, sleeps, and spends money randomly!

new York.

Morgan Stanley.

Pine sat behind his desk, looking at Lilith opposite him with a headache, and explained: "I didn't agree to this!"

"But I think David can understand, even though Nyrent did not do this kindly~"

"But this is the best choice for everyone at the moment~ Do you understand?"

Lilith had a sullen face and said coldly: "I understand~ David has no money to invest in venture capital, but Nylent has a lot of money and can't find a suitable project to invest in~"

"What you said is the same as Nylent!"

"Don't you all understand why I'm so angry?"

Pine smacked his lips, pushed the freshly poured hot coffee to Lilith, leaned forward, put his elbows on the table, and said seriously.

"we all know!"

"I understand you better!"

“When David first founded this venture capital fund, he put these investment projects in my hands~”

"I have conducted preliminary inspections on these projects. They all have investment value and development potential. They may all become large companies listed on Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange in the future!"

"But as you just said, venture capital focuses on the potential of these project companies, before it fully explodes!"

"David has invested all his funds in the futures market at the end of the year. He has no way and no remaining funds to seize important development nodes of these companies and help them invest while obtaining the maximum return on investment value. ~"

"Lilith, you also know that if we miss this best opportunity to enter the market, the return on investment will plummet, and we will eventually become someone else's wedding dress."

"enough!"

"Investment, funding, project company, time point, return, you have mentioned all these."

"But did you forget to mention that David should be involved in this matter?"

"Have you forgotten that David just split his shares with Da Company, established his own new company, and left New York?"

"What's the difference between you confirming this matter after he left and confirming it in person with him when he was here? Don't you know in your heart?"

Pine was silent.

This is the point of what he just said, Nelent Ramon, was somewhat unkind.

In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with Lilith being angry because of this!

Pine was silent for a while, and seeing that Lilith still had a cold face, he said helplessly: "Okay~ What do you want me to do?"

"I think? Haha~"

Lilith put her hands on the table, stood up, leaned forward, and stared at Pine.

"My boss is David now. I stand up for him. I want to ask about the reason for this matter. Is it okay?"

"..Yes!"

"If David doesn't have any objections to this matter, I won't have any objections either!"

"That's what I thought!"

Lilith straightened up, stood up straight, looked down at Pine, and continued: "However, I understand the work issue, I understand, I understand, it's just one aspect!"

"From a personal emotional point of view, I will not forgive you and Nylent!"

"You all put interests in your eyes, talk about it, and put it most important in your heart!"

"But it blinded me to the most important point!"

Pine pursed his lips and raised his head slightly: "I..."

"You don't have to say any more!"

"I'm sorry for interrupting your precious working time, Mr. Pine!"

"Thank you for your patience in explaining this to me~"

"In my future work, I would like you to give me more valuable opinions!"

"Then...I won't disturb you anymore! Goodbye!"

Lilith's little mouth was like a knife. .Never leave Pine's face. .

He only left a silhouette of him turning around and leaving.

Jean couldn't help but cover his forehead and began to regret it. .

----

ten minutes later.

Nelent Ramon, who also stabbed Lilith more than a dozen times in the office, made the same move as Pine. .

Cover your forehead~

Headache. .

That really hurt. .

People outside may not know~

In fact, in the Morgan family and old Morgan's family, the most troublesome people have never been the men. .

Old Morgan's wife Neria, eldest daughters Cheryl and Grace, and second daughters Laura and Lilith are the real ones in this family. .Front row figures!

Nylent has known about Lilith's saber-like mouth for a long time, and today he learned it again~

What she said to Nyrent was much more exciting than what she said to Pine!

He once said in this office that he had asked old Morgan for instructions on this matter!

But Lilith seemed not to remember at all. .

----

Stanley fourth floor.

David's new Fuller Fund Company.

Sam Rogers, Leon Hoffman, and Yuri Orlov were listening to Ben Likert talk about this matter. .

10 minute later.

The four silent people in the office looked at each other.

Sam thought for a moment and was the first to speak: "Since the matter is settled and the boss David is not at home... we should do what we should do~"

Leon Hoffman hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low voice: "Do you think we will stay here?"

"Are we... going to move out of Stanley?"

"Haha~ This issue is not something you should consider! Leon~" Sam stood up and refilled Ben Likert's cup of coffee.

"Ben, how's your angel fund going?"

"Fortunately, the development is going very smoothly~ Alicia from the R&D Center said that when David returns to New York, the center will be able to produce samples of the car anti-theft alarm!"

"Oh...this is good news! They are very efficient~"

Ben Likert drank coffee, smiled, shook his head and said: "But the disposable lighter project has encountered great difficulties."

"Injection molding technology for one-time molding is difficult, Alicia and the others are still looking for a better way~"

Sam didn't quite understand this and said with relief: "There will always be a way ~ man!"

"Every project has a difficult process from R&D, to taking out samples, to realizing mass production~"

"Haha~ok~"

"I've finished talking about it!"

"The rest, let's talk about it when David comes back~"

"You guys are busy, I'm leaving!"

"Okay, bye buddy!"

Ben Richter is gone.

The three of them, Sam, were left staring at each other.

Yuri suddenly raised his hand and said: "Do we still have a financial manager... Erwin is not here?"

Sam smiled and nodded: "He went to help us solve the funding problem~ He won't come here often!"

"Then... can we get off work first?" Yuri rolled his eyes a few times and continued.

"What? You have a date?"

"Uh.. Haha~ Yes!"

Sam shrugged: "Then I declare that you can get off work~hehe~"

"Okay~ I'll go first then! Thank you man~"

"Go, remember to bring your beloved girl and treat us to dinner!"

"No problem~haha~ let's go!"

Sam and Leon watched Yuri walk away with brisk steps. .

Leon scratched his head: "I..."

"You go too!"

"Go back and have a good rest~ When David comes back, you should get busy again~"

"...Okay~ What about you?"

"Me? Haha~"

Sam shook his head and didn't answer.

He drank the coffee in his hand and his mind turned to another thing.
