Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

Manhattan, fourth floor, Stanley.

After Erwin from the finance department and Leon from the risk control department reported their recent work to David, the secretary Maggie sent David all the expense receipts for the London trip.

Sam looked at his boss David and frowned. .I can't help but look up at the ceiling and hold back my laughter~

"Hush~huh~"

"Maggie, Sam~"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes... To be honest, I haven't been able to position myself as a rich man~"

"..Hahaha~"

"Ha ha.."

Maggie lowered her head and covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled. Sam stopped pretending, patted his thigh a few times, laughed and shook his head.

"Boss, what you gained from this trip is much more than what you spent, right?"

"That's true~"

"Hey! That's right!"

"How many people are there in our company?"

"Not counting you, 77!"

David opened his mouth in surprise: "Oh~ Not bad!"

"We're not a small company anymore, are we?"

Sam suppressed some of his smile and nodded seriously: "This number is not the final number."

"Among these people, there are still more than 10 people who are in the probation period. Who can stay depends on their performance."

David looked down at the various documents in his hand, sighed, signed the last page of the document, and handed it to Maggie.

"Call Bob and Yuri Orlov in for me."

"ok~"

"Maggie, you will come with me later."

"..good!"

. . .

Sam turned his head and watched Maggie leave, stood up, looked at David curiously and asked.

"Do you need me to go out?"

"No! You sit down first. I have a few more words to say to you alone."

"..good!"

David pondered for a few seconds and introduced how he met Gerald, Carnes, and Little Peter in London.

He also briefly stated that the four of them had a plan to jointly invest in the international gold market in New York, Hong Kong, and London.

Sam frowned, sat up straight, and looked at David worriedly: "Grosvenor, Rothschild, Wallenberg!?"

"Are you sure!?"

"Hehe~"

David shrugged and sat back in his chair: "I know what you're worried about ~ pricing power, right?"

"..Um!"

"Tsk~hiss~"

"I have had concerns about this before, but gold, as the safe-haven commodity most recognized by investors in the international market, cannot be controlled by just one or two banks."

"Following the trend will be beneficial to everyone~"

"Going against the trend?! They won't do such stupid things~"

"Hehe~"

Sam nodded slightly: "Then...how much should we invest in gold?"

“What about crude oil futures and silver?”

“How to allocate the proportion of funds in investments such as stock markets, bonds, and commodity futures?”

David picked up the company accounts sent by Erwin, looked at the final balance, and thought for a while.

"The money in the company is still used according to the original plan."

"It's about proportion..."

David glanced at the three figures outside the door, approaching from far away, and whispered.

"Take out 2000 million as working capital for my subsequent plans."

"Withdraw another 2000 million and you will be responsible for continuing to invest in stocks, bonds and other markets for short-term and long-term investment stocks. I will make a list for you later and you can buy them."

"The remaining funds will be kept on the books for the time being. We will enter the market again after price fluctuations occur in the gold market~"

"ok~"

. . .

"Sam, you go and notify everyone in the company first. After we finish chatting later, I will go and have a few words with the employees of the company to refresh my face..."

"Hahaha~ok!" Sam nodded to the three people who walked in, and quickly went to work~

"Bob, Yuri, sit down!"

"Good boss."

"Maggie, take notes!"

"Ok!"

David piled the documents in front of him aside, picked out the high-fructose syrup folder, held it in his hand, and asked Bob and Yuri with a smile.

"How do you feel while I'm away?"

"It's okay~"

"Ok!"

"Hehe~"

"Bob, I happen to have a new plan in hand, and I want to leave it to you to follow it."

"Please take a look at this document first~"

"ok~"

Bob took the folder and flipped through it quickly.

David turned to Yuri and smiled: "What about you? Find what you want to do most..."

"Yes!"

"Oh? What is it?"

Yuri smiled with bright eyes: "Venture investment!"

"Hahaha~ Not bad!"

David smiled and took the paper and pen and said as he wrote: "Venture investment, as the name suggests, is an investment method in which risks and returns coexist."

“Every small amount of investment may witness a miracle~”

"The sense of accomplishment and frustration...are you sure you're mentally prepared?"

Yuri nodded confidently and said loudly: "I understand, boss!"

"Ok!"

"You go find Ben Richter~"

"The venture capital company he chairs should now have some prototypes. You can learn a lot from him."

"But, Yuri~"

"I want to remind you again!"

"Venture investment is a game between rationality and irrationality. The requirements for investors' vision, vision, professionalism and psychological quality are very high!"

"If you want to make a name for yourself in this industry, you need to learn a lot~"

"Bob's grandfather, Louis Rockefeller ~ is known as the father of venture capital."

"If there is an opportunity, I can take you to ask him for advice on investment experience, which will also give you a better learning opportunity."

Yuri glanced at Bob beside him, pursed his lips and nodded: "Okay!"

"Hehe~"

"Maggie, from now on Yuri will come to the company every day when he goes to work~ You can contact Ben Likert first to arrange this later."

"Ok!"

Yuri took a deep breath, nodded to David with stern eyes and said, "Thank you!"

"Hahaha~"

"How's it going with you and Ava Fangtian?"

"Um...very good~"

"Has she been in New York lately?"

"exist!"

"Oh~"

David turned to look at Maggie and asked, "Tomorrow night, I'm going to invite Lilith, Livlin, Toby, and Tilda to have dinner together."

"Please help me contact them and ask them for their opinions."

"ok~"

"Well~ Yuri, can you invite Ava Fangtian for me to have dinner with us tomorrow night?"

"it is good!"

Yuri couldn't help but grasp the pants on his thighs with both hands, feeling extremely grateful to David for the dinner invitation he arranged~

(Yuri Orlov and Ava Fonda, both from the movie "Lord of War".)

Ava Fangtian, although she is very famous in the modeling industry~

But after spending this period of time interacting with her, Yuri slowly understood what she had to bear behind her back. .

It is no exaggeration to say that without David's invitation, it would be impossible for young ladies from wealthy families like Lilith and Livlin to take the initiative to invite a girl like Ava Fangtian, who is a model, to have dinner with her. ~

. . .

David glanced at Bob who was still reading the information, looked at Yuri, thought for a while, took out his checkbook, and said to Maggie.

"Thanksgiving is coming soon, tell Sam and Erwin to give everyone a holiday bonus in advance!"

"The specific amount is based on 50% of each person's monthly salary~"

"Okay!" Maggie lowered her head and recorded the incident.

David put down the pen in his hand, tore off a check, handed it to Yuri, and smiled.

"Man, chasing girls is also a risky investment!"

"However, the risk of this kind of investment is not only on the girl, but also on yourself."

"Be sincere, be bold, and when it's time to take action, don't be stingy!"

"Take it~"

"It's the holidays, go buy some gifts for your family and the girl you want to pursue~"

Yuri Orlov took the check, stood up, bowed slightly to David and said: "Thank you! I will~"

"Haha~"

"Maggie, help me write it down. I didn't give this money to him... He has to pay it back!"

"..OK!"

"Yuri~ Remember to pick up your girl Ava Fangtian tomorrow night!"

Yuri smiled and waved the check in his hand a few times, nodded and said: "I am ready to face risks and challenges~"

"Hahaha~"

"Go~"

"Yeah..." Yuri smiled and nodded at Maggie and walked out of the office.

. . .

Yuri left, and David arranged for Maggie to go out to inform Sam and others.

Bob put down the document in his hand, quickly organized his thoughts, and asked, "Do you want..."

"Invest in the entire industrial chain and become the largest supplier in China!"

"...I understand~"

Bob asked with shining eyes: "What can I do?"

"How about you take charge?"

"..all?"

"all!"

David smiled and took the document, flipping through it quickly and saying, "The production of fructose syrup was put into industrial production only ten years ago~"

"Innovative technology has only been available in the past two years, which has greatly reduced production costs and realized the attributes of commodity value~"

"Bob, have you ever tried this sweetener made from corn starch?"

"Um...I don't know either~"

"Hahaha~ Then go know, go understand, and find more and better experts to identify high fructose syrup!"

"Has the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) assigned a safety level to fructose syrup?"

"How is it different from the traditional cane sugar we eat?"

"What's the caloric value? And how much sugar does it have?"

"How low is its production cost?"

"It has many advantages, but what are the disadvantages? What are they?"

"The downside, how risky is it for our investment plan?"

"And, what will be our final investment income? How much will it be??"

David took paper and pen, found some answers in this information, and marked them.

But there are more questions, and there are no answers in this information ~

David handed the folder back to Bob and said with a smile, "Man, this is a very rare opportunity!"

"If you have any questions, you need to find the answers yourself~"

"The help I can give you is very little~"

"Gayden Milken has accumulated a lot of experience in the stock and bond markets, and can also help you in corporate acquisitions and mergers and acquisitions~"

"Odis Parker, I will greet you and ask him to send someone to help you collect information and find the hidden information~"

"So... man, would you like to take this next?"

Bob looked at some of the "answers" drawn by David in the documents, frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay! Let me try~"

"No!"

"Every investment, there is no such answer!"

"Be confident! Man~"

“This experience of starting everything from scratch will help you throughout your life!”

"I'm willing to give it to you with confidence, but you still don't have confidence in yourself?"

"Hahaha~"

Bob also laughed and nodded: "Okay! I'll go right away..."

"Hmm~"

"You make a copy of this document and take it back with you to have a good look~"

"Anytime you need help in the company, you can go to Sam and Erwin."

"All investment plans, industry analysis, company qualification inspections, etc., these preliminary work must ensure that the data is true and reliable, and the probability of successful execution must be achieved."

. . .

Bob is gone.

David sat back relaxedly in his chair and couldn't help but laugh~

Fructose syrup, as one of people’s favorite sweeteners, is almost as important as sodium glutamate (MSG) in condiments~

In later generations, fructose syrup occupies an important position as a sweetener in the ingredient lists of many condiments, drinks, snacks and other foods.

Giving this project to Bob, David felt it was a perfect match~

You know, the most famous giant trust group in the world was created by the Rockefeller family~

. . .

Quietly in the office, after resting for a while.

David walked out of the office, and the company stood at the edge of the large office area, waving to Sam, who had been waiting for him.

Sam smiled and nodded, raising his hands.

"Clap clap clap~"

"Hey~ everyone, be quiet!"

"..ok!"

"This is Mr. David Coleman, our boss!"

"Papa papa ~"

People stood next to each other, forming a large group of company employees in front of David. They all had their feet on their feet, looked at David, and gave their own applause.

David smiled and waved his hands, and after everyone's applause stopped, he said loudly.

"Welcome everyone to join our new company!"

"Some people may not have seen me before, but this time you can see me in person~"

"Hahaha~"

"Clap clap clap~"

David smiled and continued: "I have always believed that what you put in will be rewarded!"

"Every effort and every contribution I make has been rewarded beyond expectations~"

"So, our company will also implement this system!"

"No matter who you are, as long as you work hard for the company, you will get the rewards you deserve, even...rewards that exceed expectations!"

"Sorry, Sam!"

"Just now, I forgot to tell you first~"

"The company's current management rules and regulations still continue some old traditional management models~"

"Today, here, I want to solicit opinions from everyone, brainstorm and formulate a company management system of our own."

"There are many people who have worked in other companies~"

"Whatever problems you have encountered or what unreasonable treatment you have encountered, you can bravely raise them and write them into our company's rules and regulations!"

David looked at the quiet crowd, pulled a chair from the side, stood on it, looked down at the crowd, and continued speaking loudly.

"My friends in the back, can you see me~?"

"Hahaha~ ok!"

"ok~"

"No need to guess, I am 21 years old this year!"

"I am the same age as many college students or recent graduates."

"Then why can I stand here, become the boss of this company, and talk to everyone?"

"The reason is simple!"

"I made a detailed plan, took that step bravely, and won the approval of my friends~"

"Some people may ask, I also have a plan and I have the same courage as you, why can't I succeed?"

"Hehe~"

"My answer is, when you have an idea or plan that is very sure to succeed, don't rush to risk it. Come to me and tell me. I will give you a very pertinent answer and exchange some experiences or opinions. .”

"As for... some issues that you may be worried about."

"I can also be here and give you a promise."

"As long as I, David Coleman, can help, I will!"

"I will keep everything secret that I need to keep secret!"

"As long as you are willing to trust me, I will never let anyone down!"

"Clap clap clap~"

Sam, Yuri, Leon, Erwin and others gave David support with their own applause.

David smiled and nodded to them: "The daily management and operation of the company require clear and clear rules and regulations, and it also requires everyone's initiative and consciousness."

"So, all our company's short-term and medium-term goals, as long as they are not top-secret investment plans..."

"Sam, you must make public announcements and communicate with various departments on a regular basis, and provide detailed introductions and interpretations!"

"Ok!"

"Guys, no matter who you are in this company, you need to establish and divide yourself one or more small goals that can be achieved through hard work according to our short-term and medium-term plans~"

"Don't ignore...small goals!"

"When all the small goals are achieved, our plan will achieve a staged victory!"

"cough~"

"This is one of the secrets of my success!"

"Maggie, remember to ask everyone to sign a confidentiality agreement, so you can't spread it out casually!"

"Ok!"

"Hahaha~"

. . .

David, who was standing on the chair, looked around the crowd and discovered the direction of the elevator outside the crowd. Lilith, Giles, Bloomer, and Leslie were watching his "performance" with great interest~

David smiled and shrugged, and continued to everyone: "Now that it's all said and done, I'll tell you about my little goal~"

"One year!"

“My next small goal is to become a billionaire in one year!”

"what about you?"

“Does anyone want to be a hundred thousandaire or a millionaire?”

"..think!"

"Hahaha~"

"Then work hard and make it happen~"

"Ok!"

"Clap clap clap~"

Amid the applause of the crowd, David smiled and waved, ending the "meeting"~

. . .

10 minute later.

in the office.

David stared at the door warily. .Sanshouyou, who was approaching him in an encirclement formation, raised the corners of his mouth and sneered.

"You three bastards... are you itchy again? Ha~?"

"Haha~" Giles smiled naively, took off his coat, threw away his tie, bared his big white teeth, rolled up his sleeves, and cautiously stepped forward.

Bloomer took off his clothes much faster than Giles. .

He grinned with a mean smile on his face and said, "It's because you, bastard, are itchy, right?"

"Haha~ That's right!" Leslie agreed with eyes shining.

David knew the situation was urgent. .He quickly untied his tie, threw off his jacket, and sneered as he assumed a posture of "generous sacrifice" and "resistance to the death."

"Come on, you guys..."

"Ha~ Come on!"

"..fxxx!"

"Hmm...grab his hand!"

"Legs, legs, just hug his legs!"

"fxxx! Giles! Try harder!"

"Hahaha~ Three soft-footed shrimps! Look at my move!!"

"Oh~hehe..."

"Hahaha~"

. . .

at the door.

Lilith walked in behind, watching the wonderful performance of "Three Lost Friends vs. David" in the office, she smiled with satisfaction and closed the door~

ten minutes later.

David and the third friend were both lying on the floor as if they had lost all strength, breathing heavily~

Lilith moved lightly, sat on the sofa, shook her head at David and smiled: "It seems that Polly and Susan need to work harder!"

"what?"

David's eyes suddenly widened, he climbed up with a shudder, trotted to sit next to Lilith, put his arm around her shoulders, and whispered.

"do not!"

"I'm... very good at dealing with them..."

"Don't let them... I really can't bear it anymore!"

Lilith looked at David sideways and tilted her head, and sneered: "Can't stand it? Haha~"

"Where's Elena? Where's Cui Yingying? Where's Mirella? Where's Madonna?"

"Don't think I don't know about your fancy thoughts!"

"Of these women...which one have you not missed?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

David raised his hand and pointed at the lamp, and said solemnly: "I have only touched three women in my life."

"Polly, Susan and Ruby, right?" Lilith teased.

"Um...you know everything?"

"nonsense!"

"Look, I didn't lie, did I?! I definitely don't have any bad intentions towards them!"

"Hehe~"

"No bad intentions? Well... where is Tilda? What's going on with her?"

"Noble lady...huh?"

"You went to London and even the taste changed...huh?"

"Hahaha~" The three friends who were lying on the ground "gloating at the misfortune" let out a hearty laugh at the right time.

David plucked his hair with his hands and sighed with an aggrieved face: "Oh, I was just confused for a moment!"

"I really didn't mean to treat her..."

"Besides, she's so ugly... I don't like her either~"

"Hehe~"

Lilith used her delicate fingers to twist David's ears and said with a smile: "She is the daughter of an earl who was admitted to Cambridge University with straight A's!"

"You used those weird words to fool her all the way on the plane... When she got off the plane, she was in a trance..."

"You said you don't have any bad intentions towards her?"

"Who would believe it!?"

David's mouth felt as if there was a bitter melon stuffed in his mouth, and he said harshly: "It was her who chased me and kept asking me all kinds of questions."

"I...all I was thinking about was you, Polly, and Susan..."

"I was just talking randomly~"

"I really didn't think she would..."

Lilith narrowed her eyes, let go of her hand, and said with a disdainful smile: "Can you still think of me?? Impossible!"

"No!!"

"I have proof!"

"I've actually been thinking about you!"

"I can prove it!"

"..oh??"

David let go of Lilith's shoulders, quickly straightened his "appearance", looked directly into Lilith's eyes "affectionately", and said softly.

"When I miss you enough, I will arrive in your dreams!"

"Lilith, have you ever dreamed of me these nights?"

"Uh...??" The little heads of the three losers turned to Lilith uniformly.

Lilith blinked in surprise and quickly shook her head: "No!"

"Um.."

David tilted his head, with a smile on his lips, and continued: "You won't believe it. Even if you don't wear any perfume, the breath on your body seems to exude some kind of magic. It guides me and allows me to escape from the unknown." I found you in the sea of ​​people!"

"It proves that I choose you!"

"...!?" Lilith couldn't help but twitch the tip of her nose twice, as if smelling the fragrance emanating from her body. .

"Hehe~"

With a smile on his face, David said more confidently: "How long do you think a minute is? And how short is it?"

"It depends, who you're with!"

"From the moment you walk into this office, I know that every minute we spend here feels like a second."

"...?!" Lilith bit her lip lightly, and immediately understood why Tilda did this. .I'm in a daze ~

David wiped his cheek with his hand, making his smile brighter, and continued.

"Many people seem to be accustomed to leaving early and coming back late, a life of constant busyness and running around~"

"But in their hearts, they all have their own concerns more or less~"

"Family, elders, children, friends..."

"These people who have accompanied them through every stage of life have given them the courage, confidence, and selfless love to live~"

"Our acquaintance is God's arrangement!"

"You came into my life, and I care about you all the time~"

"My longing for you can no longer be expressed in words~"

David leaned forward a little, gently passed his fingertips through Lilith's hair, and brushed her white and tender cheeks. His eyes became a little blurred, and his voice became extremely pious and soft.

"It... is a piece of music that haunts me every time I hear it~"

"It... reminds me of your appearance every time I look up at the sky~"

"It... always makes me feel that the time without you is as long as ten thousand years~"

"It... makes me feel sad every time I miss you and want to go back to you right away~"

David slowly approached Lilith's face, his eyes full of "obsession" and he murmured.

"It... makes me believe that missing you is my belief!"

"It...let me appear in the ocean in your dreams every night~"

"It... gave me infinite expectations, but made me afraid to face... the final disappointment~"

"I miss you, give me your endless warmth and courageous strength!"

"Lilith, if I don't kiss you and hug you right now, I...will lose all the light to live~"

"I want you to know that my longing for you is an extremely strong belief!"

"It was it that brought you to me!"

"You have already become the lightning, sun, air, and ocean in my world~"

David gently touched the tip of Lilith's nose with the tip of his nose, and felt the warmth radiating from her beautiful face with his cheek.

After a brief pause of two seconds~

David kissed Lilith’s red lips~

"...!?"

The three friends who had been watching were all stunned by David's "shameless" and "brave"~

Bloomer blinked quickly, quietly leaned into Leslie's ear, and asked in a very low voice: "Livlin... is she okay?"

Leslie smacked his lips with a strange and complicated expression: "It should be...it's okay~"

"..oh!"

Bloomer scratched his chin, feeling like he had asked the stupidest question in the world. .

. . .

on the sofa.

Lilith, feeling the heat on her lips and cheeks, and the slightly strong manly breath on David's body, made her mind go blank at the moment, and she slowly closed her eyes. .

David kissed her very gently. .

It seems like I want every second to stay in this moment~

The two of them just kissed each other for several minutes.

David hugged Lilith with both hands, buried his head in her hair, took a deep breath, and whispered.

"Did you hear it?"

"...I'm hungry~"

"...!?"

"Hahahaha~" Blumer spit out a small ball of snot, lying on the floor laughing and slapping the floor wildly. .

"Ah~ Hahahaha~" Giles was stunned for a second, and then laughed along with Bloomer.

Leslie grinned, turned on the silent laughter mode, pointed at David, and didn't know what curse words should be used~

Lilith opened her eyes and tried to bring her "IQ" back to the high ground~

She had a rosy complexion, bit her lip complexly, and whispered crisply.

"What a bastard you are!"

David smiled calmly and kissed Lilith: "I know, I said some things that I shouldn't have said~"

"Yeah~" Kiss +2!

"But I also want you to know that even if I am far away, I can still hear your voice~"

"Yeah~" Kiss +3~

"It's my fault that I can't be with you all the time!"

"Yeah~" Kiss +4!

"But every piece of sunlight or moonlight should be hot when it shines on your face!"

"Because they are mixed into my eyes of my thoughts and beliefs about you~"

"Yeah~" Kiss +5!

"If I could choose, I would like to be a rainbow in my next life~ Whenever the rain comes and the sky clears, whenever you see it... you will know that I miss you~"

"Yeah~" Kiss +6!

. . .

David continued to "brainwash" like a chicken pecking at rice, causing the third friend to stop laughing briefly and stared blankly at Lilith, who was once again in a state of "leaving the soul".

Looking forward to her. .Be able to make some "rational" responses quickly~

Emm. .

The expectations of three bad friends. .Failed~

Although, Lilith's hands seemed to be "rejecting" David's "chicken pecking rice" ~

But~

Her whole body seemed to be under some kind of spell, her face was red, her neck was red, and there was a sweet smile on her lips. .

. . .

Bloomer, who had been lying on the ground and felt a little tired, leaned into Giles' ear and whispered.

"Laura...what should I do?"

"..roll!"

"Hey~"
