Manhattan Reborn 1978

Houston, Texas.

night~

West of downtown, 19 Piney Point Village, Piney Point Village, Memorial District.

in the restaurant.

Elena Mesa told David, Professor Bartley, and Toby Olga in detail the entire process of her seeking medical treatment today.

After hearing this, David thought for a moment and decided to ask Mr. Tianniu to confirm whether there were any shortcomings in the properties at No. 86 and No. 89 Pine Forest Avenue that had been deliberately concealed by the broker~

If not, then just buy it.

When Professor Bartley heard that David had made such a "willful" decision, he did not stop to dissuade him.

David wanted to spend some money on his family, what could he say?

Elena was a little excited and took the initiative to ask. She and Toby wanted to visit the surrounding neighbors first and inquire about the previous owners of the two houses.

After the two of them left, David cleared the dining table and asked the instructor who was about to go upstairs to rest.

"Do you still remember...the two short programs I recorded?"

"programme?"

Professor Bartlet put his hands in his pockets and thought for a while, smiled and nodded: "Remember, they are very interesting."

"What? Do you want to record a new show again?"

"Yeah!" David smiled as he put the plate into the kitchen sink.

"After I came back from looking at the house in the afternoon, I asked the beetle to prepare it."

"Then when do you plan to record?"

"tomorrow morning."

"Okay~" Professor Bartley said with an expectant smile.

"This time, I can get a front row seat!"

"Hahaha~ That's right!" David gave a thumbs up to his instructor and said with a smile.

new York.

night~

Manhattan, upstairs at Wildfire Bar on 42nd Street.

Polly sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at "little brothers" Rosenlot and Alto, and asked with a slight frown.

"Joseph Aipa, is this all he said to you?"

"Yeah." Rosenlow nodded with a straight face, without saying a word. .

Alto reluctantly opened his hand to Polly, shook his head and smiled: "He doesn't seem to want to say anything more to us."

"However, he took the initiative to tell us that many New Yorkers have been to Chicago's financial center in the past month."

"These people don't belong to one company, but to many companies."

"so.."

Polly's eyes flickered a few times, then she nodded and said, "I understand."

"There must have been some news on Wall Street, and they all rushed to the Chicago Stock Exchange."

"As for the reason, the parties involved, Sam and Leon, know best!"

Alto fiddled with the lighter on his fingertips, tilted his head and looked at Polly who was lost in thought for a while, and asked.

"Can we both go back?"

"Oh... go ahead."

Polly glanced at Rosenlow and said, "I'm not worried about him."

"I'm only worried about you!"

"Have you forgotten your work lately?"

"How is that possible!" Alto refused to admit that he had delayed his work because he was looking for flowers and flowers, so he waved his hands and explained.

"I did that all for..."

"No need to explain."

Polly stared at him sideways and complained angrily: "Your explanation is just to cover up."

"Don't think I don't know why those girls come to you!"

"What about you?"

"When you see a young, beautiful and well-figured girl taking the initiative to embrace you, you can't control yourself?"

"Uh..." Alto smiled dryly, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Polly took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down the dissatisfaction in her heart, and spoke to the two of them with sincerity.

"I used to be a housewife at home, and I didn't realize how difficult it would be to start a business..."

"But now that I am allowed to manage the company independently, I really understand..."

“The most difficult thing about doing business is not to always seize market opportunities, not to find your own business model from fierce competition, not to be successful without experience, and not to remain calm in the face of huge risks.”

"But I have to force myself to study hard, practice, summarize, self-reflect, constantly adjust my work status and develop the company plan, and then enter a new round of study, practice, and summary..."

"Almost all the current senior management of da company were established by David with my help~"

"Vice President Ben Whitcott turned out to be his personal assistant..."

"Andy, the financial director, and Sally, the administrative director, he personally brought together as a couple, and they help me with many tasks in the company."

"There are also Ben Likert of Angel Investment Company, Alicia Nash, the head of the project research and development center, Page and Norris of the advertising agency, George Attorney of McAllen Law Firm, Pittman Olina Accounting Firm So Olena, Harvey Washman and Tangtang from the film and television company, etc.~"

"The big company formed by these people is the biggest motivation that allows me to maintain the situation and learn and start from scratch bit by bit!"

Polly looked at "Wooden Man" Rosenluo, her expression seemed to show some exhaustion intentionally, and she whispered.

"David came back two days ago and mentioned something during our chat."

"Our generation will live in a new era where the overall social pattern will undergo tremendous changes!"

"When we look back on ourselves in 20 years, we may realize that~"

"It turns out that the biggest driving force that has always supported me to move forward and achieve success is people!"

"In the 21st century, the most important thing is talent!"

"If there are no talents who can shoulder important responsibilities in various positions, will I be the only one to manage the company?"

Polly sighed softly, looked at Alto again, and said, "How many brothers and sisters do we have in our generation?"

"Why are there only three of us sitting here today?"

"As the best-educated college student in the family, everyone has high hopes for you to take over the family business."

"But you spent the whole day..."

"Stop!" Alto quickly raised his hands and shouted as he felt a headache.

"From tomorrow on, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

"You can let me accompany you to work every day!"

"Don't say that again!"

"You always remind me of a nagging person..."

"Huh? Nagging?!" Polly stared at Alto with a "murderous" look on her face, and said something through her teeth.

"This is what you said yourself, I didn't force you!"

"Uh..." Alto blinked with dull eyes, feeling as if he had done something stupid again. .

"Wooden man" Rosenluo twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, stood up and said to Polly.

"I'm going to the Fulton Fish Market tomorrow morning."

"Well~ you all go back."

"Alto, you must wait for me downstairs on time tomorrow morning."

"..." Alto shook his head dejectedly a few times and followed Rosenlow to the door, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Polly looked at the two of them leaving, smiled bitterly for a while, then picked up the phone and dialed.

----

Manhattan.

Gold Coin Hotel, fourth floor.

Mr. Gardener opened the door and invited Marat, Yuri Orlov and Kihara Nobunari to the living room. He smiled after everyone sat down.

"After the boss returned to Houston, he had another conversation with Mr. Davis Leahy."

"Mr. Tianniu sent me a message and asked me to inform you of the latest plan."

The gardener poured coffee for the three of them, picked up his own coffee, and asked Marat.

"Do you still remember what the boss said at the Plaza Hotel?"

"Remember!" Marat immediately figured out why Mr. Gardener asked this question and asked in response.

"The Boss and Davis..."

"Ok!"

The gardener stopped beating around the bush and said directly.

"Wada Toshiki of the Yasuda family has taken this afternoon's flight back to Toyama Prefecture, the island country."

"He will finalize the cooperation with Fuji Bank before Marat arrives."

The gardener raised his left hand to the three of them and explained: "In this renegotiated cooperation, our Marat will go to Nakhodka Commercial Port with a deposit of 200 million yuan to finalize the relevant cooperation in crude oil spot trading. matters."

"Yuri, you are responsible for communicating with Todd Covian of Vitol Company and Mark Rich of Mark Rich Trading Company to sell crude oil spot."

"Kihara Nobunari, you are mainly responsible for contacting Fuji Bank and ensuring that every loan can be delivered to Marat in time and the payment is settled."

After the gardener finished speaking, he deliberately paused for a few seconds and then continued.

"If Marat's trip to Nakhodka Commercial Port goes very smoothly, the three parties involved in this cooperation will immediately get into gear to ensure that it runs perfectly."

"First, Marat will appear as a trader and pay a 20% transaction deposit to the Nakhodka Commercial Port."

"When the goods are transported to the high seas or to the oil port in Toyama Prefecture for unloading, Kihara Nobunari will take the remaining 80% of the cash payment given by Fuji Bank to complete the transaction settlement."

"Then, it was Yuri's turn to negotiate with Vitol and other traders to sell the crude oil spot and return the funds to Fuji Bank's account."

"Therefore, throughout the entire transaction process, we and the traders who purchase our goods must abide by the principle of payment first and delivery later to ensure that everyone's interests are not damaged."

"And the only thing that might break the contract is..." Mr. Gardener looked at Marat and said with a smile.

Marat understood what he meant, nodded and said solemnly: "If someone wants to destroy this rare opportunity because of his own selfish desires, according to what I know, he will definitely not show up again!"

"Um.."

Mr. Gardener glanced at Yuri Orlov, whose face flashed with surprise, and smiled.

"Actually, Marat's trip to Nakhodka to discuss cooperation this time is not as dangerous as you think."

"I traveled around Europe for many years."

"Based on what I know about the internal situation of Xiong Daguo, those people who hold great power in the Far East will never easily let go of our offer of an olive branch~"

"The key to success or failure is just how much benefit they can get from the transaction!"

"Yuri!"

"I will always assist you to resolve the various additional conditions they have put forward to ensure that this trade channel can remain open for a long time."

"Kihara Nobunari, your responsibilities in Toyama County are also very heavy!"

"Because according to the boss's wishes, if Marat can finalize a long-term cooperation plan with Nakhodka, some of the remaining crude oil spot may be temporarily stored in Toyama County, waiting for its new buyer."

The gardener raised his eyebrows at Marat and said with a smile: "The boss said~ As long as they dare to sell and the price is reasonable, we will accept the order no matter how much!"

"Leave all financial issues to Fuji Bank."

"Security issues are all in the hands of Davis Leahy's agent in the island country, Galid!"

"You three just need to do your part, and don't ask or talk about the rest~"

"So... do you still have any questions?"

Marat, Yuri Orlov and Kihara Nobunari looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they were fine.

The gardener stood up with a smile, took out three suitcases from the study, handed them to the three of them, and explained.

"Here are all the documents and procedures for a trading company registered in your name."

"From now on, you are three international traders."

"Oh!"

"That's right~"

"Inside the box, there is also bank account information opened in your personal names at Fuji Bank and Citibank."

"The boss said that every personal commission and company income you handle will go into these accounts."

"The company's money belongs to the boss."

"The money in your personal account belongs to you."

“Public and private matters must be distinguished, and no mistakes can be made!”

"Understand?"

"Okay~" The three of them nodded to express their understanding.

The gardener took out three more business cards from his pocket, handed them to the three of them and smiled.

"His name is Erebus."

"In case you encounter an emergency and are unable to contact me, or I cannot solve it for the time being."

"You can try to contact this person."

"Erebus?"

"I think I've heard this name somewhere?" Marat looked at the clean business card in his hand and tried to remember.

The gardener returned to his seat and sat down, smiling: "Erebus is the god of darkness in Greek mythology."

"There are also Aether, Hemera, Hypnos, Thanatos, Moirai, Geras, Charon, etc., and the gods in some myths and legends are all his subordinates."

"However, a few years ago, Geras and Charon betrayed Erebus and betrayed their true identities, which almost caused them to be hunted to death by their enemies."

"But that cruel old guy from Erebus is still alive."

"He is extremely vengeful, and it will be difficult for Geras and Charon to escape his pursuit."

"Chasing...hunting?" Yuri repeated the word, feeling a little cold on his back.

Mr. Gardener smiled and waved his hands: "These past events have nothing to do with us."

"All you need to know is that Erebus is very short of money right now..."

"With enough money, he can help you solve most of your problems."

Marat stared at the business card in his hand, memorizing the only phone number on it, then threw the business card on the table, carrying the suitcase and saying.

"I will fly to the island country tomorrow and transfer to Nakhodka."

The gardener smiled and continued: "Wada Toshiki will arrange a boat to take you there."

"ok~"

"goodbye!"

"Hahaha ~ Goodbye!"

When Yuri Orlov and Kihara Nobunari saw Marat leaving in a "fashionable" manner, they quickly memorized the phone number on the business card and prepared to stand up and leave.

But when the two of them walked to the door of the room and were about to leave, the gardener suddenly called out to Kihara Nobunari and asked him to wait before leaving.

Yuri glanced back, pursed his lips to resist the urge to talk, and strode towards Marat.

Kihara Nobunari slowly closed the door with a calm expression, walked to Mr. Gardener and sat down, without asking or saying anything.

Mr. Gardener took a sip from the coffee cup and was silent for more than ten minutes before speaking.

"Otis Parker once suggested that I find a way to get you out early."

"But I didn't agree!"

"Do you know why?"

"..." Kihara Nobunari nodded silently.

"Haha~" The gardener looked at him and smiled with a look that seemed to "see through" Kihara Nobunari.

"You hide your ambition very well."

"But let Otis Parker see it..."

"I don't have much personal opinion of you, though."

"Because I have ambitions too!"

"It's just that my ambition is slightly different from yours."

The gardener tapped the coffee cup twice with his hand. Seeing that Kihara Nobunari remained silent, he waved his hand and said.

"You go back first."

"..." Kihara Nobunari walked away silently.

Mr. Gardener watched him turn around and bow to express his gratitude before leaving, and couldn't help but feel speechless for this man.
