Manhattan Reborn 1978

The top floor of the Blue Crystal Hotel.

David was almost lying on the sofa in the most relaxed posture, watching Giles happily playing the video game console, and from time to time he would laugh at him for acting like a fool and falling twice in the same pit.

During the time he met, contacted, and interacted with Giles, David felt that he had really found a good friend!

Giles's character does not have the delicate air of the rich second generation. He is a bit cautious, very sincere in his actions, and his thinking is also very clear and novel.

The most important thing is that, like David, he cherishes the sudden friendship between the two and does not want it to change for anything.

What David can give Giles will be slowly proven to him over time.

And what Giles gave him was now visible and tangible, just like Leslie who was restless and left in a hurry without saying a few words just now!

Giles had just told David about Leslie.

Leslie Rockefeller, the brother of Giles' girlfriend Kylena, is now the second son of the Rockefeller family, one of the people Pine once said he would introduce to David.

The friendship between Giles and Leslie, strictly speaking, has nothing to do with Kylena.

This story also begins between Leslie and Lilith.

Um. .

Giles was like the most abominable storyteller in this story. It was severely out of context. As long as it involved private events that had happened between the two of them, he was not willing to continue telling it at all.

His actual words were: "If you want to know, ask Lilith yourself. You are his boyfriend now!"

"Shit boyfriend! She's staying with your sister right now, okay!"

"Hahaha~"

"By the way David, when I went to the reception, a man gave me a business card and wanted to meet and chat with you. I'll look for him later."

Giles put down the game controller and found Bernard Madoff's business card in his suit pocket.

"Look, this is the person. Pine helped to find out. He is a securities market maker, and he also has a private fund under his name. It is said that the income of his fund is very stable and the interest rate is also very high."

David took the business card, frowned and thought carefully about the name that should be familiar: "He is looking for me? What can we talk about?"

"I don't know, maybe I just want to use this excuse to have a relationship with you?!"

"Hey, Giles, he doesn't know that we are going to be long in crude oil futures at the end of the year, right?"

Giles was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it seriously: "Well... probably not. Now some people on Wall Street are slowly starting to focus on crude oil futures. These people were all involved in the last oil crisis. Speculators who invest, speculate, and gain benefits.”

"I also heard Elder say this morning that some people have been paying attention to our recent actions to purchase crude oil spot. They are also looking for and contacting some funds, and want to focus on the international crude oil market in the future, looking for speculation. Opportunity."

"Actually, no matter what covert means we use when doing this, those who are interested will find some clues, so Elder and Panaris have contacted the managers of Shell Group in New York and want to use it in their company's hands. Buy a batch of spot crude oil."

"Shell Company?... Well, I don't know much about these things, so after the loan from Da Company is obtained, I'll leave it to professionals to handle it."

Giles smiled and nodded.

In this secret purchase of crude oil spot, the Morgan family has invested billions of working capital in New York and London.

With these spot stocks in hand, as long as the Pahlavi dynasty is really overthrown, Iran stops crude oil exports, and OPEC member countries no longer increase exports to take advantage of the situation, crude oil will become the most sought-after commodity in the international market for industrial development needs. Currency, flowing black gold.

David has been recalling the name Bernard Madoff in his mind for a long time, but to no avail.

Forget it, let's make an appointment to meet and have a chat. Maybe we can remember who this guy is.

He glanced at his watch. It was nine forty in the evening, and Lilith and Laura hadn't shown up yet.

"Giles, I'd better go back first, Laura and the others..."

"No, you must not leave!" Giles was a little anxious. He scratched his head and pulled David as he stood up to go home.

"If you leave, I will be in trouble if they come to me for help later!"

"Then... how about you call their room?"

"Um... I'll do the fighting, and you do the talking, how about it?"

"fxxx! Is there any brother like you? You bastard!"

"Hehe, now you have more say in front of them than me~!"

Giles picked up the phone with a smile and dialed Lilith's room.

The phone was connected, and Laura’s voice came from the other side: “What’s the matter?”

David took the receiver and rolled his eyes at Giles: "Have you two forgotten me? It's been more than an hour since I finished dinner! I'm very tired today. If you don't come out, I'll go back now Home!”

Giles gave David two thumbs up from the side, that's it. .Very awesome!

Laura didn't speak on the other side of the phone, and Lilith took the phone: "Are you at Giles' place? Just wait for us, just a few minutes!"

"Okay, 10 minutes. If you don't come, I'll leave first!"

Putting down the phone, Giles said with a smile: "You don't know, the last time I talked to them in this tone was when I was in seventh grade! Brother, you are really... Haha~"

David rolled his eyes helplessly at Giles, who was smiling like a fool: "If you hadn't dug a hole for me, I might not be as good as you when I talk to them now!"

"Haha~ Look, from this point of view, you still have to thank me!"

"Shit!~ I think you deserve a beating!"

After a few minutes.

When Lilith and Laura walked in, David was competing with Giles in a ground grapple. .

David bent one of Giles' thighs completely over his back, and Giles held David's ankle and played in a 360-degree circle.

"Laura and the others are here, let go!"

"Let go first! You damn bastard! My thigh~ah!"

"Hahaha~ Don't let go, right? Look at my trick!

! ”

"Ah~! You! Let go! fxxx!

I can do it too!watch out! "

"Oh~ fxxx! You are so fucking cruel, you!

You bastard, I'll fight you! "

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts~ Okay, I'll let go! Let go of your hands quickly! shxx!"

Laura was still in a low mood, but after seeing the shameless and obscene fight between the two, she suddenly felt inexplicably better.

"fxxx! Giles, are you serious! Hiss~"

"You weren't the one who made the first move, playing dirty tricks! If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself!"

While rubbing the sore spot, David looked at Laura and the two of them. They were both wearing pajamas now, probably because they had taken a shower. Laura's eyes were a little red and swollen. Lilith looked fine and was hugging her with a smile. Laura goes to the theater.

David stood up suddenly, kicked Giles who was pretending to be dead on the ground, and walked to Lilith who were standing by the sofa: "Have you figured it out?"

Laura looked at David for a while with her swollen eyes like small walnuts, and nodded slightly: "Yeah!"

David squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand with a smile, grabbed Lilith's arm and pulled her down into his arms, hugged her, and tightened his arms, signaling that Lilith would not make any more unnecessary struggles. .

He took a big step forward and stood by the sofa, looking down at Laura who looked nervous, surprised, and wanted to explode.

"Then, Laura, Lilith will be my girlfriend from now on. Before you are able to protect her, please control your emotions and don't let this matter get worse. You understand me. What do you mean?"

Laura's small breasts kept rising and falling. She was dressed in rough clothing, her little walnut eyes were rounded, she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "Let go of Lilith!"

"Let go? It seems you still don't understand!"

With that said, David ignored Lilith's resistance and kissed her hard on the small mouth domineeringly.

"She is my girlfriend. I can do whatever I want. It has nothing to do with you, Laura!"

"No, let her go, you bastard~"

He smiled and stretched out his hand, interrupting Laura's outburst: "Let's get acquainted again. My name is David Coleman, the owner of DA Group and the business partner of the Morgan family. I started from scratch to realize the American dream. I am the most outstanding person." One of the representative figures.”

"What about you? I don't know your name and identity yet! Please introduce yourself!"

Laura's eyes were red and she was dressed roughly. She gritted her teeth and stared at David fiercely: "My name is Laura Norton Morgan. I...I am a student at Yale University..."

"Hmm... gone?"

"Haha~ That's it?

Do you still want to steal Lilith from me?It's time to wake up from your dream!Laura~! "

Laura's brain was running at overclocking. In her own emotions, she instinctively wanted to beat David, the bastard.

However, her reason allowed her to understand why David said and did what he did.

She, Laura, has nothing but a smart head.

identity? . .

Deposit in the bank?

Those were all given by her family and earned by Lilith, and they had nothing to do with Laura.

If she hadn't been born into the Morgan family, she wouldn't have become such a well-protected young lady, let alone fall into this unacceptable situation because of her love with Lilith. .

David looked at the silent Laura and decided not to irritate this little girl anymore.

He glanced at Lilith in his arms with approval: "It seems that the conversation you two just had has some results. Your chances of success are a little higher. Congratulations!"

With that said, he let go of his arm around Lilith, walked to Laura, hugged her, and the three of them sat on the sofa together.

"Laura, if you can't learn to control your emotions, I won't choose to help you. Do you understand this?"

Laura twisted the fingers of her hands tightly together and hummed one word between her teeth: "Yeah."

David let out a breath, relaxed his arms around their shoulders, and brought them closer: "Lilith once said that you are very smart, and I know you can figure these things out."

"The difference between you and ordinary people like me is that you are the child of a super-rich family!"

"Everything I have now is obtained through my own hard work, hands and mind."

"Similarly, you also know better that everything that belongs to you now is what you deserve, but they are not obtained through your own hands and hard work."

"These are given to you by your family and family. Strictly speaking, they have nothing to do with yourself."

"So do you want to prove yourself to your family, earn the wealth you have earned through your own efforts, and achieve freedom?"

"I can help you on this matter!"

Laura turned her head to look at the water in Lilith's eyes, lowered her head and was silent for a while, then said to David: "Please, help us!"

David smiled and patted Laura on the shoulder, glancing at Giles who was still lying on the ground with his ears pricked up.

"Then let us discuss the first and most difficult problem on your and Lilith's road to a happy life."

"Laura, you must first graduate from Yale University as soon as possible, and then rely on your own mind and hands to achieve true financial freedom."

"Do you have your own plan on how to start a business?"

Laura lowered her head, not looking at anyone, and shook her head gently: “No!”

David looked at Lilith on his left: "What about you? Do you have any suggestions?"

Lilith looked sideways at Laura and shook her head: "You better go on!"

"Okay, then...if I tell you, we can start with the project of Da Angel Investment Company."

"Laura, when you are in college, you can work with your classmates from Yale or other universities to come up with some good entrepreneurial ideas, and then you can make them into project documents and submit them to our angel investment project pool. I will arrange for people to carefully review them, find those with potential and development, and invest in them to realize your ideal of creating your own business."

"What do you think of my arrangement?"

Giles was on the ground, raised his hand and whispered softly: "As long as your project has potential and can make money, I can also invest."

Laura rolled her eyes at Giles fiercely: "Stop dreaming, bastard!"

She turned to look at David next to her: "I don't need to go to anyone to discuss it. I have thought of a project now, but... I don't have the plan, experience, or funds to create a company."

"Oh? What is it? Tell me!"

"Women's clothing! Women's clothing that is avant-garde, fashionable, trend-setting, and reflects women's individuality."

David nodded with a smile and touched Lilith with his shoulder: "From a professional perspective, what do you think of Laura's idea?"

Lilith bit her lip, tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Judging from the current sales situation in the clothing market, women's fashion clothing is indeed a promising market in the next few years. I think it can be done!"

"So... Laura, do you have a specific costume design concept sketch or a favorite costume designer?"

Laura lowered her head and twisted her fingers: “No.”

"Tsk...

Your current situation is as if you want to be a world-class Michelin chef, but you don't even know what dishes should be on your menu. . "

"I can't help you if you're like this!"

Lilith leaned against David and helped Laura try to think of what she could do.

Laura herself now knows very well that she does not have any experience or knowledge to support her in starting a successful business.

David retracted his arms, hugged them to his chest, frowned and thought for a while: "So what are your courses at Yale University? Can you arrange some time for yourself?"

Laura thought for a while and said: "Now Yale University's requirement is that we must choose to study professional courses in three fields and three skill courses, including a foreign language."

"As long as I get the corresponding credits for my elective courses before December, I can arrange some free time."

"Pa~" David snapped his fingers!

"Then you come to my da film and television company to help. Even if it is a part-time job, I can pay you according to the working hours, but you must ensure that you can complete the various tasks and tasks assigned to you."

"Part-time job? Go to your Da Film and Television Company? I don't know anything, what can I do?"

David smiled and rubbed his chin, feeling the feeling of the stubble rubbing against his fingers: "You are a college student. You can help us be a campus scout, looking for boys on the university campus who are interested in entering the film and television industry. Girls, introduce them to the film and television company.”

"Or you can participate part-time in the filming of our TV shows and TV series, so you can make more money."

David waved his hand and pressed Lilith who wanted to say something: "You can think of it this way, if you want to establish a women's clothing brand company, you need to get close contact, understand the current clothing market, and find more related industries. and obtain first-hand market information from them.”

"Among the industries that can be at the forefront of the market, the film and television industry is undoubtedly one of the best shortcuts for you to start now."

"As the most exposed film and television industry, just like those female stars in Hollywood, the clothes they wear represent the current clothing trend to a certain extent."

"If you can start from this aspect, understand and grasp the aesthetic needs of modern women, and then design your own brand of clothing based on these needs, then your entrepreneurial clothing company will be able to get our angel investment."

“You have to remember that when any new startup company raises funds for the first time, what investors want to see is whether your abilities, experience, plans, ideas, etc. are in line with their investment expectations. "

"If you don't even understand your own clothing company's design concept, target consumer groups, market development plans, prospects, etc., then your startup can only be a joke."

"So, you can use your spare time in college to participate part-time in filming for film and television companies, earn basic capital for starting a business, learn more professional knowledge, accumulate more work experience, and improve your own business plans and ideas."

"Also, you need to find a clothing designer who fits your company's development philosophy. He/she can help you complete and realize your design concepts and directions before your first round of financing, and come up with initial clothing works that can attract investment. .”

“And you need to do all this by yourself, we will only give you some suggestions and will not give you any direct help.

This is a challenge and a test!

Can you tell me directly now, can you complete it? "

Laura’s walnut eyes glowed with blue light. . .

She sat up straight and looked at Lilith: "I can, I can definitely do it!"

Several people laughed when they saw her fighting spirit and serious look.

Giles got up from the ground and sat down and said: "We will all help you, Laura!"

"Get lost! I don't need your help!"

"Haha~"

"Hehe~"

David patted Laura on the shoulder and praised her backbone.

Lilith was on the side, looking at Laura, and threw herself into David's arms with tears in her eyes.

Laura looked at Lilith's actions and was so angry that her little mouth stuck straight to the sky.

"Lilith, let go of David! You are mine!"

"Haha~"
