Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

The Queen.

Old Malkin and two old friends were sitting in a closed club, drinking and chatting.

after a little while.

Ludy, wearing a crisp suit, walked into the club and came to their table. After greeting a few people with a smile, he sat down politely and listened quietly to the three old men chatting.

ten minutes later.

The two old men stood up together and left with satisfied smiles.

Ludy watched them walk out of the door, relaxed slightly, and asked old Malkin.

"The last territory has also been taken action?"

"Um.."

"With the exception of the franchise area and Little Italy, all of our family's land in Manhattan has been sold."

Ludy stood up, walked to the bar, poured another glass of wine for the two of them, came back and sat down, unbuttoned his suit and said.

"Our personnel in Manhattan have become smaller and our control has become weaker. Will there be any trouble?"

Old Malkin narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head and said, "Then it's none of our business!"

“Two days ago, I contacted some old friends in Los Angeles and Miami~”

"They are all complaining to me that the current world has become increasingly difficult for them to understand~"

"In Los Angeles and Compton, there are many small gangs composed of black people. Because of the huge profits from the drug business, they have gathered together to form a relatively loose gang alliance - the Red Blood Gang!"

"And what prompted these small gangs, who were originally enemies and enemies, to unite was the rise of another black gang - the Crips!"

"Since 74, these two gangs have escalated the original street fighting directly into street gunfights."

"Last year alone, the death toll from the two gangs reported by the Los Angeles police and the media reached nearly a thousand!"

Old Malkin looked at the frowning Ludy, shook the wine glass in his hand, and sighed: "Although New York and Los Angeles are different, there are also many black gangs in Hamlin!"

"Our people have received news~"

"The Crips Gang and the Red Blood Gang in Los Angeles have both sent people to New York to try to establish a sales channel for leaf cigarettes and heroin~"

"California is too close to Mexico..."

"It's only a matter of time before the sales channels of drugs produced in Mexico expand to New York through gangs in Los Angeles!"

"We have never touched drugs, but you and I both know that selling drugs can allow a gang to gain huge profits and grow rapidly."

"The gangs in Los Angeles want to expand their strength. The gangs in New York can't resist the temptation of rising to the top in one step."

"So, when drugs become more rampant in New York, its impact on the rules our family has always followed will be far greater than we imagined!"

"The New York of the future will never be the New York we are familiar with!"

After Old Malkin finished speaking, he lowered his head and drank the wine in his glass silently~

Lu Di raised his hand and loosened his tie, and said with a helpless smile: "Someone asked me last night to enter the franchise area to sell drugs."

"There is also Pacio Herrera from the Cali Cartel. He has met with many gang bosses in the past two days and promised them a very low purchase price..."

"You're right! From now on, New York will only be made more chaotic by these greedy people~"

After finishing speaking, both of them fell silent. .

They all couldn't help but think of that boy David and the words he once said. .

What will become of the city they live in, New York?

After a while.

Old Malkin let out a long breath, put down his cup, and said another thing: "Alto, don't let him interfere in the family's real estate business in the future!"

"I will say hello to everyone~"

"Among the younger generation of the family, who do you think has the ability to take over Alto's position?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Lu Di's face, and then he thought for a while before saying, "Rosenlow, how are you?"

"...The kid who just dropped out of school?"

"Uh...yes!"

Old Malkin felt his head hurt. .

There is no successor!

It had been many years since the Sidrich family had a top student like Aalto who was admitted to New York University. .

But this kid can’t be reused!

His shortcomings such as soft ears, lack of control over his words, and too many small thoughts in his heart were destined to make Aalto unable to take over the position of the new generation of the family's leader.

Rosenlo Sidrich, three years younger than David, attended high school for three years and dropped out of school when he was about to graduate - or was expelled from school. .

When Lu Di saw that old Malkin did not immediately object, he knew in his heart that the family had reached a point where there was no new generation available. .

"That boy Rosenlow... Although he is a bit boring, he is not stupid and he should be able to train him!"

Old Malkin slapped his forehead with his hand and sighed: "Go ahead and talk to him. Let's see what that kid says!"

"If you think he can do it, let him come and see you!"

"ok~"

Ludy stood up, nodded slightly to Malkin, adjusted his clothes, and walked out of the club.

Philadelphia.

Drexel Investment Company, in front of the building.

Gayden Milken got out of his car, looked up at the building in front of him, tightened his tie, and took a deep breath.

After half an hour.

Feeling relaxed, Milken walked out of the company's door, got into his car, and prepared to rush back to New York.

After a night of thinking and struggling, he chose to resign!

The king of Wall Street’s junk bonds. . !

The pie that David drew for him was really too much for him to refuse~

Gayden Milken, I don’t know if this important decision he made is right or wrong~

But he knew that the underwriting bonds proposed by David would not make him a big shot comparable to JP Morgan~

That guy David must have other good ideas that he hasn't mentioned yet!

Therefore, he needs professionals like Gaydon Milken to complete the plan!

----

new York.

Stanley fourth floor.

David called back the company staff who had just taken a break and held a brief meeting.

At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions on the president’s speech~

To sum up, it’s nothing more than the items David recorded in his notebook~

However, newcomer Bob Rockefeller also raised his hand to express his thoughts after everyone had finished speaking.

After everyone listened, they also expressed their goodwill towards this new colleague from a rich family. .

ten minutes later.

After the meeting ended, David explained a few words to Sam, and then entered the elevator with Mr. Otis Parker and went down to the first floor.

street.

Mr. Parker looked around and whispered to David: "The one-eyed Andres who is following you and his team members are fine~"

"For those soldiers who will come to New York later, I still need more time to do some investigation work~"

"ok~"

David turned his head and looked at Andres and the others sitting in the car across the street, and said with a smile: "Mr. Parker, will you also go to the Blue Crystal for a cocktail party tonight?"

"Uh... no! I didn't receive the invitation~"

"Okay~"

"Goodbye, Mr. Parker!"

"Goodbye~"

Mr. Parker left. David looked at his back and suddenly felt an inexplicable touch~

He got into the car, said to Giovanni who was driving that he would go home, and looked out the window blankly.

Today, when Mr. Parker asked and answered questions, both of them understood what the other meant.

They are all people outside the walls of the Morgan family~

Today, David is growing rapidly like a vine clinging to the big tree of the Morgan family.

And Mr. Parker has always had his own ideas and a certain degree of freedom~

He doesn't want to and won't follow David's example and attach himself to Morgan~

But he saw a glimmer of possibility of success in David!

So, he chose to help David~

. . .

When the car stopped, David was still in a daze with the window open.

The driver Giovanni looked at the rear seat in the rearview mirror, then turned to look at Black Mike in the passenger seat.

Black Mike shook his head slowly, rolled down the car window, and looked outside quietly.

ten minutes later.

David came to his senses and said, "Are we here?"

"...Yes~"

"Oh...Sorry, I was distracted!"

"Guys, we are going to attend a meeting tonight, so why don't you go back and change into a suit~"

"Hahaha~ok!"

----

Manhattan.

42nd Street, Wildfire Bar.

Zina carried her small bag and walked into the bar with a smile on her face, saying hello to Old Rhett and Jin Ji behind the bar.

Susan, who was not busy at this time, saw Zina, walked forward with a smile, took her arm, walked to the bar, and said with a smile.

"Why are you here? Are you not busy? Do you want a drink?"

Zina looked at the enthusiastic Susan, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm not here to drink..."

"Where I live on 53rd Street, something happened last night..."

Susan, Old Rhett, and Jin Ji couldn't help but take a breath after listening to Zina's story.

"They are your neighbors... In other words, you were lucky enough not to be selected as a target by the serial killer?"

"...Yes~"

Susan held Zina's arm tightly and said eagerly: "Then you move quickly!"

"Move here with us!"

"There are still many empty apartments upstairs~ If you come here to live, we can also take care of you!"

Giovanni's wife Jin Ji also added: "Yes~ The bar is very lively at night. That kind of serial killer will definitely not choose a place with many people to appear!"

Old Rhett didn't speak, just looked at Xina silently and nodded in agreement.

Zina looked at the three of them and smiled, pulled Susan to the side, and whispered that Miranla would also come with them. .

After Susan heard this, she was just stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head and said, "David told me about Miranla~"

"If he and her could be together, it would have happened long ago~ wouldn't it?"

There was a trace of relief in Zina's eyes, and she joked teasingly: "Aren't you afraid that David can't help but have sex with Milan one day..."

"Not afraid!"

"His cowardly and stupid look can be dealt with by Miranla... Then I can only say that it is God's arrangement..."

"Besides, we are just boyfriend and girlfriend, and I am not his wife..."

"If he really wants to do something with some women behind my back, I can't help it... can I?"

"Hahaha~"

Zina gave Susan a thumbs up for her clarity of mind~

In this city where men turn bad when they get rich, it's hard to find a silly boy like David who doesn't have a good idea when it comes to women. .

Susan smiled and grabbed Zina, said hello to Old Rhett and the others, and walked outside.

"Let's go, take me to see Miranla~"

"I'm also curious about what David's little girl with a headache will look like!"

"Haha~ let's go!"

----

New Jersey.

At the security company training base, the person in charge, Lawrence, was wearing a hard hat. He and the two middle-aged engineers who looked like him were lying on a wooden pile and looking at the construction drawings.

Not far away from the three of them, the roar of more than a dozen large construction machinery could be heard. On the construction site for building a new house, workers were busy going back and forth.

ten minutes later.

After the three people finished their discussion, Lawrence looked at the backs of the engineers who were leaving and showed a cheerful smile.

Cohen, wearing an old military uniform, silently walked up behind Lawrence, coughed slightly, and said.

"How did your discussion go?"

Lawrence looked back at Cohen and shook his head: "We are very lucky~Polly expanded the scale of the construction company for the real estate development project~"

"These newly purchased construction machinery and newly recruited workers will help us build some emergency winter houses before the demolition plan is finalized in Manhattan~"

"Guys we will come later, you don't need to live in cabins or tents now..."

Cohen took a step forward, looked side by side at the construction site in the distance with Lawrence, and said in a low voice: "I... didn't expect that we would have a new home so soon!"

Lawrence didn't reply and looked at the construction site quietly.

After a while.

Then he said: "I'm going to find Polly later~"

"This winter, we need to discuss the specific details with her regarding the logistical supply issues at the training base."

"Go find the Sheriff here and say hello~"

"After all, there will be hundreds of people here in the next few days, and the Sheriff will also need to explain and appease the residents of the surrounding towns."

"ok~"

Cohen nodded and agreed, thinking about how to persuade the somewhat difficult guy the Sheriff would be when he met him later. .

----

new York.

Bronx.

Sinni, the former gang leader who announced his retirement, was sitting in a bar, holding a wine glass, touching it with the new gang leader Karu, and said with a smile.

"Tell me~ What do you want from me?"

Carew, who was wearing a neat suit, loosened his tie and said, "It's still a matter over there in Hamlin~"

"The guy who sold the land you sold last time came to me again..."

"Oh?"

"There is no way I can return the money to him!"

"Once sold, there are no refunds!"

"Hahaha~"

Kalu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "He... didn't come to me to ask for a refund~"

"He wants to sell drugs on our property!"

Xinni slowly put away his smile, frowned and asked, "You agreed?"

"Not yet~"

"But you also know that if we don't do it, someone will still do it~"

"In the past two days, drug wholesalers from Los Angeles and Miami have all arrived in New York."

"Pazio Herrera of the Cali Cartel has met all the gang bosses~"

"In addition, our people in the police anti-narcotics team have received news~"

"The police received some verbal orders from above, and cocaine is no longer included in the key targets..."

"Invisibly, the police and officials tacitly helped Pazio and others in selling cocaine... I really can't understand it~"

"fxxx! Is there such a thing?"

"Haha~Yes!"

Xinni was speechless. .

A few years ago, when Nixon was in power, the newly established DEA, the New York Police Narcotics Team and the FBI were still very aggressive against drug dealers in New York. .

Why this. .Just say it has changed?

Xinni also felt that he could not understand New York more and more. .And the world has changed. .

After a long silence, Xinni said: "What are you going to do? Join in?"

"No!"

Carew simply shook his head and said in denial: "The drug sales market in New York has more wolves and less meat~"

"Heroin, cocaine and other drugs are not widely used, but they are trafficked by many people."

"Rather than joining the drug market and grabbing business, we should be able to do our business in underground casinos, smuggling, and lending with peace of mind."

"Gangs in New York, the more people join the drug business, the better our business will become~"

Xinni nodded with appreciation in his eyes and smiled: "I have always believed that greed is not a bad thing!"

"It was only through greed that I reached the position of gang leader~"

"But I know very well what things can be touched and what things cannot be touched!"

"Only those who can control their greedy desires are likely to live to the end and retire."

Karu nodded silently.

After a few minutes.

Xinni looked at Karu's leaving figure and let out a long breath.

He was thinking in his mind, should he go to David and talk about the record company?

----

In autumn, sunset is getting earlier and earlier.

The sun was in the west and slowly disappeared on the horizon.

David was in the apartment and saw that the car had come back, so he arranged his clothes, checked his belongings, and walked downstairs.

street.

David walked towards the open car door, waved to the one-eyed Andres across the street, and got into the car.

In the back seat, Polly, who was wearing an evening dress and exquisite makeup, smiled and hugged David's arm, joking.

"Don't you have to pick up Lilith?"

"She lives in Blue Crystal, and the reception is also in Blue Crystal. Why should I pick her up?"

"This cocktail party is organized by Panaris to support Mayor Lynch's gubernatorial campaign~"

"Many famous people in New York will participate~"

"This kind of gathering is very helpful to you~"

"Wait a minute, I'm going to find Pine for help, let him take you, get to know more people at the reception, and expand your network~"

A flash of excitement flashed in Polly's eyes, she hugged her arms tighter and smiled.

"I listen to you!"

David tilted his head, and after meeting Polly's eyes for a few seconds, he shook his head and smiled: "After today, after you enter this circle, this type of drinking party, whether you want to participate or not, will come to you. .”

"are you ready?"

"Haha~ What's the point? It's more fun than me working all day, right?"

"..."

David felt speechless. .
