Manhattan Reborn 1978

Manhattan area.

Lincoln Center for the Arts.

During the entire symphony concert, which lasted more than two hours, David didn't pay much attention to Lilith, who was sitting next to him and was a little restless, except when he went to the toilet.

He concentrated on enjoying the novel experience this concert brought him.

How to say this feeling?

it. .It was like the dead musical cells in David's brain were resurrected, singing happily together about all the beauty in the world. .

Um. .

To put it in layman’s terms, he just got high for no apparent reason~

The kind that soars inside the skull!

at last.

Lilith pursed her lips and bit her little white teeth, watching the conductor and musicians on the stage stand up for the curtain call. She also stood up with David and gave her own applause for this wonderful performance.

"We...it's time to go!"

David felt that this feast of music and art was very delicious and full of energy.

While applauding, he glanced at Lilith: "What's the rush?!"

Lilith scratched the ground with her toes, put her little hand directly on David's arm, took a few deep breaths, calmed her mood, and did not continue to urge him.

Asking people to lower her noble head, asking people to bend her straight waist.

This, she understands.

She was just worried that Laura would be impatient waiting outside.

David stood there, clapping, thinking back to that feeling.

It is so wonderful~!

When the song ends, people will disperse.

David took small, satisfying steps and was pulled out of the Philharmonic Hall by Lilith.

On the small square of Lincoln Center.

Laura was sitting on the steps, supporting her chin with her hands, looking at the vehicles and pedestrians on the street, in a daze.

After Lilith saw her, she pulled David and quickly walked to her side.

David glanced around.

Not far away, Mike, the second brother and the third brother were looking up in Laura's direction, nodding to David who was looking over.

They haven't left since Laura arrived here, silently paying attention to this little girl who seemed to have been hit by something.

Lilith gently pulled Laura up and asked with concern: "We came out late, are you anxious?"

"Are you hungry? Let's go have dinner now!"

"Let's talk about it over dinner later!"

Laura listened to Lilith's caring words, looked at her little face, got into her arms and hugged Lilith tightly, as if she was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.

David looked at the affectionate young ladies and waved to the bodyguards in the distance.

Mike Bai nodded to him, asked his second brother to drive, and prepared to leave.

Somewhere farther away.

Karu has been paying attention to the bodyguards of the Morgan family who are standing in the outer circle like him.

I have to say that in Karu’s opinion, these people are more professional than Mike Bai and the others!

Mike Bai was still driving, David was sitting in the passenger seat, and the young couple Laura and Lilith were sitting in the back seat.

"Let's go get something to eat. What do you want to eat?"

Lilith looked at Laura in her arms.

The little girl shook her head slightly to show that she had no objection.

Lilith thought for a moment and said, "Go back to Blue Crystal. We need a relaxing environment to chat."

"Blue crystal?" David turned back to Lilith and confirmed.

"Any questions?"

"Uh... No, Mike Bai, you heard me!"

Mike Bai rarely said much, just nodded to express his understanding, and the car drove towards Blue Crystal.

Along the way, because Laura was depressed, Lilith kept hugging her tightly in silence, and David was unwilling to say anything.

After arriving at the Blue Crystal Hotel.

Lilith took Laura and walked to the elevator first. The lobby manager looked at the two sisters and did not come forward to ask. He just stood a little far away and bowed to them and nodded.

After Lilith saw him, she remembered David and the others. She stopped and turned back to David, who had followed him in. "You go to the restaurant on the second floor and wait for us. We'll be there in a while."

She paused, then said, "Thank you!"

David smiled and shrugged, looking at the lobby manager.

The manager smiled, nodded with Lilith and the others to express understanding, and walked towards David: "Welcome, Mr. Coleman! The large private room on the second floor happens to be empty. Please come with me."

David, who had been here many times, smiled and greeted the four bodyguards who were also familiar with the manager.

"No need to go to so much trouble, just find someone to take us there."

The manager smiled and nodded in agreement, and the waiter next to him took the initiative to come up to guide them and lead them up to the second floor.

The lobby manager watched David and the others walking up the stairs. He turned around and went to the service desk, picked up the phone and dialed.

Second floor of Blue Crystal Hotel.

The waiter brought David and the others to the dressing room where the girls had their last David show.

This was originally a small banquet hall that could accommodate dozens of people for gatherings.

Now, there are three small tables and one large long table.

David asked several people to sit down at the long table together. After sitting down, he looked around and thought for a while, then said to Mike: "It's better to invite Carew and the others to come up and eat together. They are always following us. It's impossible." It makes them hungry, doesn’t it?”

"Okay, then I'll go find them."

David turned to the waiter and said: "Choose dishes that are served quickly and bring us more."

"Okay sir, please wait."

After the waiter left, the rest of them relaxed and asked David how the concert was.

Black Mike, Lavis, and Giovanni had never been to Lincoln Center, and they were very curious about what it was like inside.

David smiled and talked to them about his feelings when he was listening to the symphony in the Philharmonic Hall just now.

After a while, Mike Bai walked in with Karu and three of his men.

David invited them to sit down together and started chatting animatedly with everyone.

The waiter served the food very quickly.

In less than 10 minutes, the entire long table was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes.

David raised the table wine and toasted with everyone, chatting and laughing while enjoying the sumptuous dinner.

Carew and several of his men, who were a little reserved at first, gradually relaxed after Mike Bai took the initiative to tease and Ravis made jokes.

While Karu was eating, he silently observed David and the others.

This atmosphere of everyone being together and getting along like friends made him feel that Xinni might really get something different from this boy David.

soon.

The dinner came to an end under the sweep of these pot-bellied men.

David patted his belly with satisfaction.

He had been hungry since noon, but he was very satisfied with this meal.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Everyone looked at the door. Giles opened the door with a strange young man, walked in with a smile, and greeted everyone.

Carew and the four bodyguards all stood up and nodded to Giles, looked at each other again, and wisely chose to leave first and wait outside.

David was not surprised by Giles' arrival.

He now understood why Lilith chose to have this dinner at the Blue Crystal Hotel.

Giles walked up to David in a suit and ties, pulled the young man behind him down to his side, and introduced the two of them: "Leslie, he is David."

"David, this is Leslie Rockefeller, Kylena's brother."

Leslie smiled at David with a stiff expression: "Hello, David!"

"Hello, Leslie."

David glanced at the long table full of leftovers, and led the two of them to sit down at a small table next to it.

He looked at Giles and asked curiously: "Which cocktail party did you just attend?"

Giles smiled and untied his tie, took it off, stood up, took off his coat, and rolled up his sleeves.

"David, you don't know that Pine and I have received countless party invitations in the past two days."

"This time just now, Leslie and I participated in one, and Pine himself participated in one and went to socialize separately."

"Guess why we suddenly became a hot commodity on Wall Street!"

amount. .

"How can we guess this? Did they find out that you and Pine are both extremely handsome men and are greedy for your bodies?"

"Haha~cough!~"

David rolled his eyes and made this sharp comment to Giles, which made Leslie, who was still a little uneasy when she sat down just now, suddenly be so amused that she held her chest and coughed. .

Giles looked at David dumbfounded: "Man, are we so bad?"

"Why can't someone just fall in love with us all of a sudden!?"

"Okay, stop dreaming! The prince who likes you may not necessarily be riding a white horse. Maybe he is just a frog lying in the mud!"

"Hahaha~"

Leslie laughed so hard that he covered his stomach and bent over, as if he was about to lose his breath.

David looked at him like this and raised his eyebrows at Giles: Is he okay?

Giles shrugged helplessly at David: That's just him~!

"Okay, then I..."

"Wait, is this how you usually chat?" Leslie interrupted Giles' voice by suppressing laughter.

Giles curled his lips: "We have more fun when we are drunk, why don't you go crazy with us?"

"what?"

Leslie looked at the two of them with the eyes of discovering a new world, and continued to smile: "nono~! Just have fun! I won't participate~!"

"Cut~!"

David and Giles gave him a tacit understanding of rolling their eyes and gesturing with their middle fingers.

Leslie's face turned red and she looked silly, not caring about their contempt.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Giles said to David somewhat boredly: "Those people who invited us to the cocktail party all want to learn about MBS from us."

"Pine has already discussed this matter with Elder and Panaris."

"Morgan Bank will first suspend the previously formulated layoff plan and establish a separate department. Its task is to improve the details of the RMBS project document you once mentioned."

"Lewis is still talking about letting you have time to discuss the specific details of rmbs with him."

David leaned back relaxedly, looking at Giles who was still the same, with a smile on his lips.

“I still won’t go to Lewis’s place.”

"In terms of these specific businesses, he is more professional and authoritative than me. After all, this MBS project is what he has been doing."

"As for rmbs, it is actually a derivative and upgraded version of mbs."

"Lewis can definitely find some of the details in your Stanley data room for reference."

"What you need to do now is to do your best to contact all the banks that issue loans across the United States and sign business agency agreements with them."

"As you said just now, people on Wall Street are aware of the trouble. If you don't act quickly, this opportunity will be lost in vain."

Giles rubbed his chin with his index finger, nodded in agreement: "Understood!"

“There are only a limited number of high-quality housing mortgage loan contracts in the United States. If we can enter the market first and obtain the highest quality and best loan contracts, we will be able to occupy a greater say in the future market. "

"However, David, you know, these contracts require a lot of capital, and Morgan Bank's current liquidity is not enough to eat this big cake."

Giles said and looked at Leslie: "So, we invited Rockefeller to join us, pooling the funds and resources of both companies to jointly make this cake bigger and open up this new market."

David glanced at Leslie. The guy didn't answer, so he smiled and nodded to David. . .

Then. .

Gone?

What do you want to say? ~!

What's the point of just giggling there? !

For a moment, the three of them looked at each other in silence.

Giles clasped his chin and kicked his uncle: "It's your turn! You should talk to David about your family's plan!"

"Ah~? Ah! Oh...Okay!"

"Um...what should I say?"

Leslie stared blankly and asked, as if he had been too distracted to hear what they were saying.

David and Giles looked at each other, covering their foreheads in tacit understanding, feeling that Leslie was completely stupid.

David had no idea what was going on with him.

Giles knew why Leslie was like this.

He patted Leslie with some resentment: "You can finish speaking quickly before Laura and the others come down."

"After that, just leave~ What are you afraid of?"

"Yeah. Okay, okay! What did you say?"

"Say..." Giles said helplessly what he just said again.

Leslie listened with a serious expression, then continued what Giles said: "Yes. We will use the best resources to complete this cooperation."

Then, he looked at the two of them and nodded: "Then you talk first, and I'll leave first!"

After saying that, he really got up and left.

Giles looked at Leslie's back speechlessly and waved to David: "Well, it seems I made a mistake by bringing him here today."

"Come upstairs with me to wait for Lilith and the others!"

David stood up. He thought for a moment, then walked to Giles and said to him: "Thank you~!"

Giles stood there stunned for a moment, then put his arm around his shoulders and shook his head with a smile: "No, David, it's me who wants to thank you!"
