Manhattan Reborn 1978

Blue Crystal Hotel, top floor living room.

Laura drank too many cocktails during the Q&A session and was now in a dizzy state.

Lilith sat next to her and supported her, not wanting her to continue drinking.

Laura smiled and waved to her, hugged her face and gave her a big kiss: “I always have to get drunk once, don’t I?”

Lilith looked at her and did not answer her question.

David continued to be busy at the bar, mixing ice cubes, vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice with a little celery juice, a little chili juice, salt and black pepper.

Another round of alternative cocktails for everyone, Bloody Mary!

"Its bright red appearance looks a lot like blood. It is very popular in bars and is often called by drinkers: tomato juice that makes you drunk!"

“It’s full of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, please taste it!”

David made a gesture to everyone, asking him to taste it.

Several people picked up the Bloody Mary, looked at it carefully, and then drank it in one gulp.

The person who couldn't adapt to its taste the most was Lilith. She had never drunk a cocktail with such a complex taste, and her small face was so stimulated that her facial features were a little off track. .

Because of the alcohol, Laura, who was a little confused after drinking it, felt that it was very exciting and the taste was very smooth~

Giles shook his head and knocked on the bar, signaling to David: "Pick something fresh and try it again!"

David smiled and nodded, asking everyone to wait.

Pine, Panaris, and Elder looked at each other.

Elder nodded, smiled and said to David: "David, I had a chat with Panaris today. We are planning to invest in Da Group and Da Security Company."

"what do you think?"

"Oh?"

David did not pause in his hand, he shook the cocktail shaker and said with a smile: "Welcome! I have no problem! You can talk to Polly about these things, and she can represent me and the company~"

"Okay!" Elder turned around and was about to talk to Polly when David continued.

"Oh, right! Over at the security company, I sent people to Miami and Colombia today to find those drug lords who always give us trouble and talk to them. I still have to tell everyone about this. One sound."

"Talk to them? What to talk about?"

After hearing this, David repeated what he said to Ludy and Cohen in the company today to several people.

Giles looked at David thoughtfully, his face a little ugly: "Are you going to make peace with them?"

David had already thought about this and said: "Our country, the United States, is the largest drug consumer country in the world, no one else!"

"Let's not talk about other places, just Manhattan."

"During the three years when I worked as a bartender at Wildfire Bar, more than half of the ten people I met were high on fans and drugs."

"This is no longer a question of whether or not I want to take revenge."

"Drug lords, in our country and in this world, cannot be defeated or killed."

"If there is a consumer market, there will be supply of goods. The greater the market demand, the more drug lords will be there!"

“Kill one group, and another group will appear in a few days.

As long as people who are high on fans and taking drugs do not disappear, it is impossible for New York and the United States to make drug traffickers disappear. "

David spread his hands when he said this: "This is a terminal disease that is impossible to cure for the US government. Why should I step forward and be the pioneer of justice running at the forefront?"

"I sent people to look for them to tell them that if we don't provoke each other, things will be peaceful. Hello, I'm okay, everyone!"

"I don't want to be kidnapped by a child bribed by a drug lord one day in the future. They are really too rich!"

"I don't want my relatives and friends around me to be harmed in any way because of this incident."

Everyone was silent.

Including Laura, who had already passed out from drinking. When she was in high school, some of her classmates were deliberately attracted by drug friends because they were novel and competitive. They tried high-end powder and drugs, and became addicted to drugs. In the end, they were persuaded by the school to Examples of withdrawal occur.

They have penetrated into the bone marrow of people in this country. Now just relying on a few people to run and fight for them is completely useless and risking their lives!

David filled the cocktails he had prepared in his hand for everyone in turn.

"The future mission of DA Security Company is to be self-sufficient in helping more retired soldiers so that they can live a normal life."

David said, filling himself up with a glass and draining it.

"Unless there is a crisis that threatens the safety of my family and friends."

"Those soldiers in the security company, I don't want to use the lives they picked up on the battlefield to risk and fight for some of the problems I encountered personally."

Giles looked at David, who looked calm and pretentious, and then looked sideways at his brothers Panaris and Elder.

Elder nodded slightly and said to David: "Then we will not participate in this matter for now. We will still invest in the security company."

Panaris raised his voice and said, "If we encounter similar problems in the future."

"David, we'll help!"

Polly was at the far end, holding the wine glass in her hand tightly, raising her head slightly, looking at the various famous wines placed on the wine cabinet.

Laura leaned forward, half-lying on the bar: "Count me in! Just with your gift today, I will help you!"

David smiled and shook his head, looking at Laura's drunken look: "Forget it, don't talk about me, talk about you!"

"Have you ever thought about what you will do after graduating from college?"

"After graduation? I haven't gone to college yet!"

Laura pulled one of Lilith's arms over, held it in her arms for support, and leaned against the bar, her face flushed and her eyes squinted.

"I don't know what's going to happen in the future."

"Maybe I'll do something I like to do."

"Oh? What about? What do you like to do?"

David was next to him, pulled up a bar stool and sat down, then continued gossiping.

Laura picked up a cocktail on the bar and took a sip: "For example: travel around the world with Lilith and see the customs and customs of various places~"

"For example: Go try skydiving~"

"Kaileena and I both want to go on a trip, and we will definitely find it exciting, but Lilith doesn't want me to take the risk. She is more worried about the safety of skydiving."

Lilith was next to her, looking at Laura with pursed lips.

Among everyone today, Lilith drank the least.

She leaned over and whispered in Laura’s ear: “If you really want to go, after you graduate, I will accompany you and Kylena.”

Laura's eyes suddenly lit up with joy, and she gave Lilith's little mouth a hard pop.

"We're a promise!"

Giles said sourly from the side: "My Kylena may not go with you..."

"You can't say that, Giles! Haha~"

David picked up his wine glass, took a sip, tilted his head and muttered: "Traveling around the world and skydiving? Maybe I can give it a try too."

Laura waved her hands encouragingly: “No problem! Count you in when the time comes~ Let’s go together!”

"Then...Laura, before you graduate, I will buy a private jet. Then we can go wherever we want!"

Giles slapped the bar angrily and said, "What about me? Aren't you going to take me with you? My Kylena, too..."

"Hey~? That's not right!"

"When you make money, shouldn't you pay it back first? You still owe me a lot of money! You bastard~"

David waved his hands indifferently: "Money! After next year, we will all have money. Then we can buy whatever we want!"

Listening to David's words, Pine remembered the oil futures business at the end of the year: "You mean the oil at the end of the year..."

"Yes! It should be around December. You should have started preparing now, right?"

Elder and Panaris looked at Pine: "Are you saying that you bought spot oil a while ago because of what will happen at the end of the year?"

"Ah."

"Both our family and the Rockefeller family have saved some oil spot and are preparing to sell it next year!"

"Can you talk?"

Pine glanced at David: "Of course, that's the case..."

While Pine was telling the story to the two, David then asked Laura: "Then, is there anything else you want to do?"

"After all, traveling and having fun are not your own career. You have to do something after all."

Laura, who was held by Lilith, thought for a moment with her confused little mind: "I might choose to go into the clothing business or do something related to girls."

"I have liked all kinds of beautiful clothes since I was a child, and I like all kinds of girls who are beautifully dressed and fashionable ~ Haha~"

David smacked his lips, Laura was rushing to expand her team of girls behind her. .

Um. .

Three seconds of silence for Lilith beside her!

"Since you want to do the clothing business, our da group company has a dedicated clothing design studio. When the time comes, you can come and work with us to make it bigger and stronger!"

"Also, I'm talking to Columbia University about a biological and medical research center."

"It was established to make girls more beautiful and perfect!"

"I plan to start more in-depth and comprehensive development and research on the medical beauty industry and various beauty, cosmetics, and skin care products after the center is established."

While David was talking, Laura slowly lay down on the bar, drunk, confused and stopped answering. .

Lilith next to her looked at David with bright eyes: "Medical beauty? Are you the kind of surgery that the stars in Hollywood have done?"

"Don't they all say they are dangerous surgeries?"

David winked at her mischievously: "We don't need to do those dangerous surgeries. We don't have to follow the example of Marilyn Monroe and other stars to remove their own ribs, or add some unknown objects to their bodies."

"If you are not satisfied with your eyes, we can do double eyelid surgery or eyeliner for you."

“If you are not satisfied with the shape of your nose, we can help you design it into a taller, more perfect shape.”

“Also, things like hair removal surgery if someone wants to treat excessive body hair.

If you are not satisfied with the shape of your eyebrows, you can get eyebrow embroidery.

If you are not satisfied with your lips, you can outline your lips to create a more attractive lip line. "

"These are micro-plastic surgeries and cosmetic methods that are not dangerous."

"I believe that in the future, they will help more girls who are not confident and dissatisfied with their appearance to regain their confidence, puff up their chests, and make men fall for them!"

Lilith gently touched her little face with her hand. Listening to David's deception, she couldn't help but follow his words in her heart, imagining what she would look like after undergoing these micro-plastic surgeries in the future.

She has always been dissatisfied with the freckles and red eyes on her face.

Her body hair is also considered to be relatively prosperous. .

The shape of her lips was not particularly attractive. .

Also, hers. . .

At this moment, Lilith seemed to feel that God gave her many imperfections when he created her.

But now she is lucky enough to meet David, the man who can bring changes to her.

"Well... David, when will your research center start doing these... um... what about micro plastic surgery?"

hehe~

It seems that another one is on board~!

"I have discussed cooperation with Columbia's Vice President Ferry Cripps. He has not responded to me yet, but don't worry, even if we cannot cooperate with Columbia, I will still do this center. We just have to change it to our own company.”

"Then... can I invest in this center?"

"Oh, David, don't get me wrong, I just want to..."

David smiled and waved his hand to her: "It's okay Lilith, I understand!"

"After I go back, I will contact Cripps. If there are no problems with him, we will work together to invest in this research center!"

Lilith nodded happily and said, "Okay, if you have any problems over there, if I can help, just come to me!"

David raised his hand and touched his nose sheepishly: "There is really something I want to ask you to help me with!"

"what's up?"

"This is the research center. If we run it ourselves, it will need permission from many aspects, including..."

David and Lilith got closer and chatted about the various problems they would encounter when setting up a medical beauty center.

As for Pine, he has already discussed the year-end plans with Panaris and the others.

Elder twirled the wine glass in his hand, thinking about Pine's words.

"If David's prediction is accurate, then there will be more in the future of this business..."

Panaris nodded, knowing what Elder was going to say.

Oil, as the commodity with the largest energy demand in the world after World War I, has always been one of the focuses of economic, trade, and various interest games between various countries!

It is no exaggeration to say that with the rise and development of modern industry.

As the blood of industrial development, oil has an increasingly important role!

Just like the Rockefeller family's Standard Oil Company, they relied on oil extracted from the ground and deep processing and refining to become the world's top wealth family.

Those members of OPEC are in the midst of four wars and do not have resources to develop or utilize. It is also because they are rich in oil that they have entered the world stage and become an indispensable player. Missing main character.

The first oil crisis taught OPEC countries a lesson to the whole world.

In 1973, in just one year, the embargo and export cessation imposed by several of these countries caused the world oil price to soar from 3 US dollars per barrel to 13 US dollars per barrel.

The price has more than quadrupled!

If there is another oil crisis due to some reasons, will the oil price skyrocket again?

The answer. .

Everyone can understand it with their toes!

Elder drank all the wine in the glass in his hand, looked at Panaris and said: "We can also participate. There is still time for us to enter the game quietly!"

Elder and Panaris looked at David, who was having a heated chat with Lilith.

"Well! Then let's mobilize the funds as soon as possible and discuss the oil spot business with Mobil."

"Or we can go to some small oil companies, find some excuses, and buy all the stocks they have."

Elder and Pine nodded and began to consider which company to contact first to buy their oil stocks.

Panaris looked at Lilith's slightly red smiling face, and for some reason, a funny idea popped into his head.

He whispered: "You guys...talk about David and Lilith, what will happen if they get together?"

Pine looked at Laura's unscrupulous brother speechlessly, and said uncertainly: "Laura will definitely break your leg, and then throw David... out of the plane? Maybe~ "

Elder nodded with a smile: "Well, she can indeed do it!

Panaris, I think this matter should be handled according to what you just thought!I support you!Haha~"

"You two~!"

Panaris expressed his contempt for the two people's answers with silent eyes!

He can no longer complain to the two of them~

Polly beside them looked at David, not knowing what she was thinking, and the smile on her lips became even thicker~!
