Manhattan Reborn 1978

In the nightclub.

After David finished speaking, a memory suddenly flashed in his mind.

He suddenly fell into memories.

He was a sophomore in high school when the global financial crisis hit in 2008.

In 2015, the movie "The Big Short" was released.

At that time, he had already graduated.

He watched this film after being recommended by his former college roommate Qianqianchi.

As a result, he watched the movie four times before he fully understood what happened in the 08 crisis.

A character in the movie left a deep impression on him.

Ben Likert is a retired banker who worked at Cornwall Capital before retiring.

He is an investor with precise vision and sophistication.

He anticipated the financial crisis before it hit and realized that the world's economy might collapse.

He took ultra-high risks, shorted subprime mortgages, and put all his chips in a desperate move.

In the end, he became one of the few big winners.

This is the world of film and television where David is, so Ben Richter had retired in 08.

It's 1978 now, and he should still be in his prime, in his 30s, in his prime!

David couldn't sit still when he thought of this.

He stood up directly and pulled Pine aside: "Do me a favor, find someone and let us meet!"

"Who?"

"Ben Likert! Yes, that's the name! I want him to be an angel investment fund manager!"

Pine was a little confused about David's whim: "Man, I will help you find him tomorrow, but why are you looking for him?"

“There are many very good managers at Stanley who would be qualified for this position!”

"I know, Pine, please, I will tell you the answer after we meet and talk! Please!"

"Ok!"

Pine thought for a moment.

Now that I have agreed, there will be no further delay.

Actionists are so invincible!

Pine went straight to the phone, and the calls started flying.

David returned behind the desk and sat down.

The audience on the opposite side looked at him in confusion and gradually became quiet.

"Ahem, everyone can take a rest first. Let's continue after Pine finishes the call!"

When everyone heard this, they started talking buzzingly again.

Giles and Bloomer couldn't sit still anymore and stepped forward: "David, what's wrong? What are you going to do again?"

"Nothing, just looking for someone."

"Looking for someone? Is this what Pine is calling now?"

"Yes, find our angel investment fund manager!"

"Um. There are many managers like Stanley..." Before Giles could finish speaking, Blumer next to him pulled him.

Doesn’t Pine know these things?

Why did he call anyway?

Blumer asked a crucial question: "Are you going to separate angel investing from venture capital?"

David looked at Blumer with admiration: "Of course, man, their investment directions are completely different, so they must be separated."

“What are your thoughts on these two investment funds?”

"Man, I'll talk about this when Pine gets off the phone."

This time it was Giles' turn to grab Bloomer: "Let's go back and wait, this guy will tell you."

no way.

David, who is pretending to be sexy, is showing off.

He crossed his legs, picked up his pen, and thought about the next highlight.

after a while.

After making the call to Pine, he returned to David: "The person has been found. He should be here within half an hour."

"Wow~ so fast? Then let's wait for him!"

David is very much looking forward to meeting Ben Likert.

He is played by Brad Pitt.

You know, when he was young, he was one of the most famous young men in Hollywood!

Later, he transformed into a tough guy style, which also fascinated many movie fans.

The acting is really good.

yy completed.

David called Vince and asked him to wait for Likert at the door. (In order to distinguish the two books, we will call him Likert from now on)

Looking back, he took advantage of this time to explain to everyone some of the details of venture capital that he just talked about.

Including the direction of venture capital, investment evaluation steps, how to determine the expected profit period, and how to plan investments in some emerging industries in the future.

Giles and Pine nodded secretly.

David's explanation was completely devoid of water.

If these words are heard by Stanley's experts, they will jump up and shout: "Teacher, you must give more classes, we will not be absent."

But now.

The two of them turned around, looked at the gang bosses and small businessmen, and curled their lips.

Playing the piano to a cow?

Well, that's about the same meaning.

What the two of them didn't know was that there was a person in the crowd whose eyes sparkled after hearing David's explanation.

Stare at David like a pair of searchlights finding their target.

He secretly made up his mind: "We must hold on to this golden thigh and achieve great success, it's just around the corner!"

He was the one who wanted to monopolize the beer supply, laundry room, and umbrella business in the concession area.

I have to say that people with vision can always seize the fleeting opportunity and achieve a career!

time flies.

Just when David had nothing to say and was about to spit out his saliva, Vince came in with someone from outside.

David stood up and faced the other party.

What a familiar face!

"Hello! I'm David Coleman, DA Group of Companies..."

David introduced himself and told why Pine came to him.

Ben Likert, opposite, looked at David with confusion on his face.

Just now, he was at home with his wife, drinking red wine and watching old movies, which was very comfortable.

Finally, a phone call interrupted their romance~!

Pine, this name, no matter how ignorant he is, he has heard of it.

What do the Morgan family want him to do?

He came to the nightclub full of doubts.

As a result, as soon as he drove around the corner, he saw a row of military vehicles parked on the side of the road.

On the side of the road, the soldiers, armed to the teeth, all focused their attention.

amount.

He eased off the accelerator and slowly applied the brakes.

Looking at the rearview mirror, the soldier behind stepped forward and stood behind the car.

There's no going back!

Vince, who was standing at the gate in the distance, saw a car turning and stopped.

He walked to the middle of the road and waved to the car.

Ben Likert had no choice but to drive towards the other party, stop and get out of the car.

Vince introduced himself and led him into the nightclub.

When he entered the dance floor, he saw a group of people sitting around on the sofa, as if listening to some speech?

The man who was giving the speech came up to him and introduced himself.

David Coleman?

Never heard of it!

A group company?

What the hell is it!

David, opposite him, looked at the confused Likert and smiled, inviting him to sit in the front row.

He took a cocktail from Abby and handed it to Likert.

"I am taking the liberty to invite you here because I want you to join our investment company. I know this matter is very sudden. Please sit down for a while and listen to me finish this matter. If you still have questions, we can chat privately. !”

Liket nodded. Since the master David is so polite, let's listen.

After taking care of him, David returned to his seat, picked up the cocktail and drank it.

The more you drink this thing, the thirstier you get!

Ask Abby to serve him some more sodas.

He continued to talk about angel investment just now.

"Just now, I gave you an example of angel investment."

"Now that new friends have joined, I will introduce it from the beginning..."

"Here, let me give you another example, a new business. Everyone should remember that it is also a project invented by me!"

"Ok!"

"Speak quickly!"

“Well, the project I’m talking about is a car alarm!”

“I believe everyone has their own car and faces the same troubles, how to prevent it from being stolen!”

"A car alarm can help you solve this problem."

“I’m going to go to Boston and get those nerds at MIT to design it.”

At this point, everyone burst into laughter.

The idiot from Massachusetts and the fool from Yale are famous and known to everyone in New York.

"Its main working principle requires those nerds to complete my design. Let me talk about its function first."

"It's divided into alarm and remote control."

"The alarm is installed in the car. After you leave the vehicle, you press the remote control and it starts working."

"While you are away, if someone tries to knock, hit or move the car, the alarm will send a signal to the built-in controller to issue a warning or sound a full alarm to deter the thief and notify the car owner."

"For example, my car is parked under the window of my apartment. If someone comes in the middle of the night and intends to steal the car, it will sound the alarm to remind me, and I can go to the window, take out my pistol, and deal with those bastards! "

"Of course, if someone spits or pees on my car, the alarm won't go off. I haven't designed this function for it yet."

Everyone clapped and laughed!

Likert also found it interesting when he heard it. If it is true as David said, this car alarm will definitely sell very well!

If angel investment can find this type of project investment, it will become the new darling of Wall Street, and funds will flow in crazily and intensively.

David felt that the heat was almost there and began to make concluding remarks.

“Everyone knows about venture capital and angel investing.”

"Then these two businesses, because their investment target groups are different, I will do them separately."

"Let's talk about venture capital first. It will rely on Stanley as the main body."

"Because Stanley has sufficient resources to complete the investigation and analysis of these small companies, it can more comprehensively evaluate the future prospects of these small companies and ensure that investment risks are minimized."

"This venture capital company will be named in the da group and under the da investment company."

"It will sign an enterprise-level cooperation agreement with Stanley. Stanley will complete the preliminary investigation and analysis, and Da Investment will confirm the investment after completing the final risk assessment."

"As for the issue of shares between the two parties, we will discuss it privately later."

When everyone heard this, they thought, OK!

No one has a share in this business, Stanley and Da are married!

“Let’s talk about angel investing again.”

“I plan to use this company as an intermediate platform between investors and invested projects.”

"In other words, everyone here can become an investor in da Angel Investment Fund!"

"Oh, SHXX! Is this true?"
