Manhattan Reborn 1978

Texas.

Northwest of Houston, eastern suburbs of the small city of Hempstead.

Elder drove the car into the farm yard at the end of a lane and stood beside the car to introduce David and his family.

"This is your vacation home."

"Ok~"

David asked curiously as he looked at the three-story brick-wood mixed structure house in front of him.

"How many years have you lived here?"

"Six or seven years, maybe."

"From the time I first learned to walk until my second year of school, I lived and played here."

"Later, because the place was hit by hurricanes for several months in a row and needed a large-scale renovation, Panaris and I moved back to Boston and never came back~"

"Come on, I'll show you around."

"You're going to love it here."

"Ah."

David turned back and waved to the family members not far behind him, and followed Elder towards the big house.

----

On the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii.

Honolulu Island, next to the inland river on the south side of Waikiki Beach.

The twelfth floor of a hotel.

Marat Poyezhnev, Yuri Orlov, and Nobunari Kihara followed Donald Klein into the room.

But what the three of them didn't expect was that in addition to Davis Leahy, whom they were coming to visit today, there was also Toshiki Wada in the room. . ? !

Kihara Nobunari and Marat's first reaction when seeing Toshiki Wada was surprise!

If Toshiki Wada came to Davis first and negotiated cooperation in speculating on crude oil spot. .

So what's the point of having the three of them here?

"Haha~ Good morning!"

"Mr. Leahy, Mr. Toshiki Wada." Marat did not stand there in a daze like the two of them. .

He walked up to Davis and said hello while maintaining a smile, and then started chatting familiarly with Tian Junshu.

Kihara Nobunari quickly glanced around and found that only Donald Klein was accompanying him with a smile, and there was no Kaguichiro Yasuda. . !

He touched Yuri with his elbow, and the two of them walked to Marat and sat down, listening to their chat.

Emm. .

Yuri sat next to Marat and listened for a while as several people chatted about the weather, beautiful women, hotels, cigars and wine. .

It wasn't until nearly half an hour later that Marat noticed a hint of impatience in Davis's expression.

He smiled and turned to look at Toshiki Wada and asked, "Have you told Mr. Leahy about our cooperation?"

"No~ you misunderstood."

Toshiki Wada smiled gently: "I'm just here to visit an old friend!"

"Oh~"

Marat deliberately made a long note, his eyes crossed Davis's face, landed on the gift box next to Donald Klein, and smiled.

"Does Mr. Leahy like tea too?"

"I haven't tasted this kind of tea yet. How does it taste?"

"Oh?"

"Hehe~"

Davis Leahy glanced at the gift box with a smile and asked with curiosity in his eyes.

"You came here specifically to talk to me about cooperation?"

"Yes!"

"Cooperation for what?"

"Crude oil spot!"

"You...?!" Davis looked at Toshiki Wada with a surprised look on his face, pointed at Marat, and asked him.

"Haha~ That's right!"

Toshiki Wada, seeing that Marat only said the beginning, shut up and could only explain for his old friend Davis.

"Mr. Marat, there is an uncle who does business in the Nakhodka commercial port."

"He can help us get a batch of spot crude oil that is outside the customs export plan."

"So, after discussion, we would like to invite you to join this investment."

. . .

After a few minutes.

After Davis understood the plan that Marat and the others had discussed, he looked at his old friend Donald in silence and began to think seriously. .

The so-called plan is actually very simple.

Marat used his connections at the Nakhodka commercial port in the bear country to clear the joints and get as much crude oil spot as possible.

Toshiki Wada is responsible for liaising with Fuji Bank to establish related transaction accounts; establishing a crude oil transportation fleet; doing storage work at multiple crude oil storage points in Toyama Prefecture + coordinating Marubeni Company to meet the requests for goods that Mr. Popov may propose barter conditions, etc.

but!

There is no formal bilateral trade relationship between the Big Bear Country and the island country.

If these oil tankers encounter the island country's maritime inspection patrol team or the US maritime patrol boat when entering and leaving the island country's waters, various problems will inevitably arise even if all relevant procedures are complete.

At this time, Davis Leahy is needed to come forward and find people and connections to solve these problems~

Because in the surrounding waters of the island country and some high seas areas, the US Navy is the real "master"!

Emm. .

Davis did not immediately agree to the cooperation conditions proposed by Toshiki Wada, but looked at the three Marat people and asked.

"This plan that David came up with?"

"Ok!"

"What about others? Have they left?"

"Uh...yeah."

Marat turned to look at Klein and explained.

"It has been almost a month since he and Miss Lilith were engaged on vacation on the island."

"The day before yesterday, Miss Laura secretly left home because she missed Miss Lilith so much..."

"Laura?"

"Hahahaha~"

Although Davis had not seen Laura for a long time, he had a very deep impression of that little girl. .

"Ok."

After laughing, Davis glanced at his old friend Klein's face, turned to Toshiki Wada and said.

"I agree to this cooperation."

"But~"

"If Mr. Popov agrees to the barter transaction, and Marubeni cannot meet the conditions he proposed on the mainland of the island country..."

"I have some friends who can help!"

"..."

Toshiki Wada thought for two seconds, nodded and said, "ok."

"Hehe~"

"What about you? What do you think?"

Marat relaxed, spread his hands and said with a smile, "Of course it's no problem!"

"Before the boss left, he specifically talked to us~"

"As long as we can balance everyone's interests, meet everyone's needs, and complete resource integration in all aspects, this plan is very feasible!"

"He spent at least [-] million yuan to formulate this plan, not to make money, but to make friends!"

"You can never make enough money..."

"The more friends you have, the more money you can make!"

"So, even if he doesn't make money from this investment, he still thinks he has made a lot of money!"

"..." Davis stared at Marat for a while, nodded and said nothing.

Klein suddenly felt very interesting and smiled: "Did he regard this plan as venture capital?"

"Hahaha~"

Marat shook his head with a smile, looked at Toshiki Wada and Davis, spread his hands and said with a smile: "There are risks at any time."

"The biggest risk in this plan still falls on me."

"But please don't worry!"

"Even if I go to Nakhodka and fail to negotiate this business, we can change our thinking and use the exchange rate difference between the ruble, the rice dollar and the Japanese yen to do some import and export trade!"

"Oh?"

Klein glanced at Toshiki Wada, who looked thoughtful, and asked curiously.

“Has the ruble’s international exchange rate risen rapidly in recent years?!”

"Yes, very fast!"

"The current public foreign exchange exchange rate of banks in Xiong Daguo is: 1 ruble is exchanged for 2 meters; 1 ruble is exchanged for 400 yuan."

"The current international exchange rate market quotation is about 1-180 yen per meter."

"Oh.."

Klein tilted his head and thought for a moment, rubbed his fingers and said, "No wonder!"
