Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

Sunny morning.

A passenger plane from Texas landed smoothly at JFK International Airport.

Passenger exit.

Marat Poyezhnev, Yuri Orlov and Kihara Nobunari slowly walked out following the flow of people.

Mr. Gardener, who came specially to pick up the plane, waved to them after seeing the three people.

ten minutes later.

Mr. Gardener drove out of the airport parking lot and asked the three people with a smile.

"Did your trip to Texas go well?"

Marat rubbed his dry eyes, nodded and smiled: "It's not bad."

"What about cooperation? Is everything agreed upon?"

"Ok!"

Marat, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look at Yuri and Kihara Nobunari behind him, thought for a while, and explained to the gardener.

"The boss arranged for us to talk to Mr. Davis Leahy about continuing to deepen our cooperation."

"Mr. Leahy and his friends hope that we can act as a middleman, open the Nakhodka commercial port trade channel, and contact Vitol or traders who want to purchase crude oil spot to complete transactions on the high seas."

"In this way, we can avoid having an interest relationship with a certain force or a certain family in the island country."

The gardener couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said with a surprised smile: "Wada Toshiki of the Yasuda family is still waiting for your good news in our hotel..."

"You just abandoned him like this?"

"Haha~" Marat shrugged, with a sarcastic sneer on his lips.

"He was blinded by greed first!"

"We just don't want our partners to eventually become enemies competing for interests."

"Hahaha~" The gardener laughed and shook his head, but did not continue the topic.

"You go to Nakhodka Commercial Port and are you sure you can negotiate with them?"

"No~"

"Then how do you plan to complete the transaction on the high seas?"

Marat smiled confidently: "We are in a hurry to meet with the boss now to resolve this matter."

"oh..?"

Seeing that Marat refused to say more, the gardener simply changed the topic and smiled.

"Just in time~ I want you to go see him too."

"You...have something important?" Marat asked casually.

The gardener smiled to himself for a while, increased the speed of the car, and whispered: "It's Odis Parker."

"That bastard caused trouble in London again!"

"..." Marat recalled the "sick" Mr. Parker in his mind and nodded without surprise.

Mr. Gardener glanced at the two silent people in the rearview mirror, put a little force on his feet, and increased the speed of the car.

. . .

Manhattan.

Plaza Hotel, fifth floor.

Mr. Gardener, Marat, Yuri, and Nobunari Kihara just stepped out of the elevator and saw David, Sam Rogers, and Leon Hoffman standing in the corridor.

The gardener knew the intention of Sam and the others to come to find the boss, so he directly led the three people behind him to the deserted place on the other side.

David, who was wearing a classic tuxedo and facing the direction of the elevator, did not see the four of them arriving. Instead, he frowned and thought carefully for a moment before whispering.

"Since some people want to know the purpose of your going to Chicago, then put your plans to trade and invest in foreign exchange futures and silver futures on hold for now."

"Sam, you go find Bernard Madoff again and ask him if he is willing to be our investment agent."

"If he wants, you split the money into two parts, one for Parnaris's hedge fund and one for Madoff."

"But..." Sam showed some unwillingness and looked at David hesitantly.

David smiled and patted his shoulder, shook his head slightly and said: "At the moment, we are just planning ahead. There is no need to express strong wishes or reactions to anyone."

"Giving the money to them not only allows us to get some futures contracts from the market in advance as chips, but also diverts the attention of some people. It can also deepen our cooperation in the future and increase our understanding and understanding of each other. trust."

David turned to look at "Mr. Little Mare" Leon, raised his eyebrows at Sam, and smiled.

"Opportunities to make money don't come every day..."

"But I don't want to take too many risks and make you unable to work with peace of mind."

"You are my greatest wealth!"

David took a half-step forward with a sincere expression, put his hands on their shoulders, and said in a half-joking tone.

"We are all still young~"

"Even after the millennium, the 21st century is ushering in..."

"We have just entered the most mature stage of life!"

"I.."

Just when David was talking about the most "sensational" thing, the door of the suite was pushed open from the inside. Zina Osevia, holding a bright red bow tie in her hand, walked not far away from the three of them and said with a smile.

David smiled and opened his hands to Sam, took the initiative to walk to Zina, put his arms around her waist, and asked, "Mom, dad, are they ready?"

"Well..." Zina enjoyed being able to behave intimately in front of David's closest people.

She raised the tie in her hand and said with a charming chuckle: "You are the only one who needs the family photo!"

"I'll give you five more minutes at most."

"ok~"

David took the bow tie, kissed Zina, and watched her turn around and return to the room with light steps, throwing an "autumn spinach" before closing the door~

Sam and Leon pretended to turn a blind eye, and after a brief chat with David, walked down the stairs.

Mr. Gardener, seeing David standing there waving to the four of them, smiled and whispered a few words, and walked over first.

David saw Mr. Gardener coming over first, and asked curiously: "What? Is something wrong?"

"Ok!"

Mr. Gardener glanced at the door of the room behind David and whispered: "I just received some news that has not been confirmed yet."

"OPEC member states will hold a plenary meeting within a week."

"The main topic of the meeting is to condemn the ambiguous relationship between Iran and the United States."

"And the person who passed this information to me also said..."

"OPEC member states have reached an agreement in private. Even if Iran's domestic crude oil exports can resume on time, they will not let this opportunity pass by."

"Oh?"

"Haha~" David scratched his chin with his hand, put his arm around Mr. Gardener's shoulders, and whispered.

"Who have you told this news?"

"Only you." Of course the gardener understood its importance and answered decisively.

"How much did it cost?" David asked with a pained expression of a "money addict".

"Uh...one hundred thousand!"

"Miyuan?"

"EUR.."

"Hey, it's worth it!" David took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

"Find a way to tell the person who provided the information. If there is any similar first-hand information, the price is negotiable!"

"As long as he has the first-time exclusive information and the accuracy is very high, then we can get as much as we want!"

"...Okay!" The gardener tilted his head and looked at David for a few seconds, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"If you want exclusive information like this... it will be very expensive!"

"Ha~"

David showed a "Grandet" expression, gritted his teeth, stared, and whispered: "No matter how expensive it is, I will buy it!"

"With this information in our hands, we can take more initiative!"

"With information asymmetry, huge benefits can be obtained..."

"Hehe~"

Mr. Gardener nodded silently, thought for a moment, raised his finger to the three Marat people behind him, and briefly told them the latest progress they had brought back.

After hearing this, David lost the smile on his face. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he let go of the gardener, turned around and walked to the Marat trio. He pondered for a few more seconds and asked.

"Davis Leahy, I told you in person... that you don't want the island country's forces or families to participate in this cooperation?"

"Yes!" Marat looked at Yuri and Kihara Nobunari beside him and nodded.

"Did he say these words... or did his friends say them?"

"He... said it to us personally in front of that friend."

"Oh~"

"and after?"

"Have you seen him alone or looked for him?"

"No~" Marat seemed to understand David's thoughts and asked with a frown.

"How about... I fly to Texas again and find Davis Leahy alone to have a chat?"

"Ok!"

David stepped to the window behind the Marat trio, tapped his forehead with his fingers, thought for a moment, and whispered.

"I have a metaphor here that is not very appropriate. Please help me analyze it."

"Yuri!"

"If you were put in Davis Leahy's shoes, acting as agent for the interests of me and my friends, in charge of many businesses and assets that it is not convenient for us to manage..."

"And you happened to meet... Marat while on vacation. You guys had a great time chatting with each other. I feel like the other person should be a good friend~"

"So, Marat tells you about the business opportunity that he is very optimistic about and invites you to join in."

"And you.."

"After listening to Marat's introduction, I found someone to investigate the matter carefully. I also felt that it was a good deal, so I decided to join."

"But!!"

"The people or interest groups involved behind this deal don't want to see you join forces with Marat to make money and live alone."

"So they secretly used some tricks to get you to come to them~"

"Just in time!"

"I heard about it and told my friends about the business and the huge benefits it could bring."

"My friends and I are excited!"

"We will find you, Yuri~ Let you contact Marat directly without worrying about anyone or any force."

When David said this, he looked at the three of them with a slightly complicated expression, gave them a few seconds to think, and then said.

"I did not find Yuri directly, but asked... Kihara Nobunari to accompany Yuri to see Marat on my behalf."

"Yuri, what can we do?"

"What will happen?"

"What should I do?"

"Hehe~"

"Knowing everything, he could only say these words in front of Marat that he didn't want to say out of his own mouth."

"Then, a new problem has arisen!"

"Can't he just opt ​​out, or say no?"

"Maybe, yes!"

"But he knows very well that if he refuses or wants to quit, the consequences will be..."

David's eyes swept across the three of them, and finally landed on Mr. Gardener's face: "Go back and find someone to contact Davis Leahy secretly."

"If it's true as I guessed just now, he was forced to..."

"Then I have to talk to him in person and alone!"

"Okay~" Mr. Gardener shrugged, turned and walked towards the elevator, ready to leave.

David took two steps forward, patted the shoulders of the three of them one by one, and said with a smile: "The interests involved in this matter are too complicated."

"But we also just want to be a middleman, so that both buyers and sellers can benefit from it, and earn some hard-earned money at the same time."

"So, don't feel too much pressure."

"Today is Valentine's Day!"

"Don't think about anything, just go back and celebrate the festival."

"Work is never done..."

"I don't want to be described by your wives and lovers as a capitalist who only ruthlessly exploits you..."

"Hahaha~ok!" Marat was the first to laugh and nod, pulling Yuri Orlov who was hesitant to speak, and said with a smile.

"Then we'll go back first."

"Tomorrow, I will go find Mr. Gardener and wait for your follow-up arrangements?"

"No~"

When David saw the three of them wanting to leave, he smiled and waved his hands and said, "You three, please rest peacefully for two days."

"It doesn't matter whether Davis Leahy and I can reach a consensus on cooperation in the end~"

"You all have to follow the plan we made before, recruit some reliable people, and build your own small team."

"As for the initial funding to build the team, I'll have Mr. Gardener write you a check."

David stepped in front of the three of them, pressed the elevator button, and smiled at the younger Yuri and Kihara Nobunari.

"But these are not the tasks you have to complete today!"

"Today, you have to spend a romantic Valentine's Day with your lover first~"

"This is the most important thing in the world!"

"Haha~" Yuri and Kihara Nobunari both smiled and nodded.

Marat took out a jewelry box from his arms and spoke to the two "rookies" in an experienced tone.

"did you see it?"

"This is an important lesson that married men must learn..."

"No matter what time it is, there are a few days every year that you must not forget, let alone buy gifts!"

"Even if you just bought a small gift on the street during your busy schedule..."

David looked at the "gift" waving in Marat's hand, shook his head and joked: "I didn't expect that your tutor is very strict!"

"Hahahaha~" Marat chuckled and shrugged.

Yuri, Kihara Nobunari and Mr. Gardener were all made to laugh.

"Ding~" At this time, the elevator came.

Amid laughter, the gardener, Marat and others entered the elevator.

David stood outside the elevator, making a phone call gesture, and watched the elevator close.

After a while.

Silence returned to the corridor.

David walked slowly to the door of the suite, took a few deep breaths, and quickly "reviewed" all the decisions he had just made. After feeling that there was no problem, he opened the door to the room and laughed loudly.

"I'm here~"

----

Manhattan.

40th Street, Building 105.

Inside the CIA's New York branch office.

The person in charge, Ezra Cremo, looked at the downcast and frustrated beauty subordinate Pamela Randy, spread her hands helplessly, and explained.

"I called you just to tell you..."

"As your supervisor, I don't want you to continue to participate in the investigation of this case."

"Because since you started investigating this case with great fanfare, I have received more than a dozen calls in a row..."

"Some people say that I am allowing my subordinates to cause destruction everywhere."

"Some people say that I want to use this human trafficking case to bring an unrelated person to court."

"Some people say that I am just using the clues you found to pour dirty water on someone and make false accusations out of nothing."

"Haha~ It's so shameless!"

Ezra Cremo walked up to Pamela and sneered: "But for them... I don't know who they are, they are bastards who want to cover up."

"What can I say?"

"I have to give a clear attitude, right?!"

The expression on Pamela's face changed from gloomy to clear, she blinked and tried to ask.

"Do you want me to continue investigating?"

"nonsense!"

"If I didn't want you to investigate, would I still tell you this?"

Claymore sighed earnestly, shook his head and said, "How could they, a bunch of clowns, dare to point fingers at our CIA a few years ago?"

"but.."

"If you want to investigate this case clearly, I think you should learn from the DEA (Federal Drug Enforcement Administration)'s approach!"

"Dea?" Pamela asked with a puzzled expression.

"They...many of them are our former colleagues, right?"

"That's right~"

Claymore sat back in his chair and smiled: "Whether it's drugs or those abducted girls..."

"They and they are all commodities for human consumption in the United States!"

"Hey~ don't be impatient!"

"Although what I said is a bit excessive~"

"But this is true..."

"look!"

"In response to the epidemic of drugs in the country, the DEA, established during President Nixon's time, has been working hard to combat smuggling and trafficking over the years, but with little success."

"Recently, my friends at the DEA headquarters told me that they are planning to send a large number of agents abroad to fight against drugs and curb their increasing prevalence from the source of drug production and smuggling."

Claymore pointed his temple with his index finger: "You can also follow this idea and first turn your attention from New York and domestic to foreign countries. Give it a try!"

"..." Pamela lowered her head and thought seriously, then pursed her lips and whispered.

"I also want to follow the clues found and go abroad to investigate~"

"But I have no money..."

"My own money has been spent on buying information these days."

"If you support me with some funds for handling the case..."

"Forehead.."

Ezra Claymore was speechless when he heard the word "money."

Pamela tilted her head and saw his embarrassed look, stood up even more depressed, walked to the door, and turned around and said.

"You don't have to worry about money."

"I'll go find..."

"Looking for? Who are you looking for?"

"Of course it's David!"

"Tell me, who else can I turn to?"

"Um..." Ezra Cremo suddenly looked at Pamela Randy up and down with a very strange look in his eyes, nodded and smiled.

"Come on, don't be impatient!"

"I'll teach you... what to say to get money after you meet him!"

"...?!"

A big question mark appeared on Pamela's face, and she suddenly felt that her boss's "morality value" seemed to have dropped to a negative number. .
