Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

Afternoon~

In a small building at the intersection of Twelfth Avenue and 40th Street in Manhattan.

On the fifth floor, in Polly's office.

Rosenlo Sidric, who had already come once in the morning, came again with his cousin Alto Sidric.

The two of them sat on the sofa, watching quietly as Polly put the last piece of the sandwich into her mouth and swallowed it. .

"Well... tell me~"

"What's the matter?" Polly asked casually after finishing the work meal, her eyes still not leaving the documents in front of her.

Rosenlow took out several folders from the briefcase he brought, picked one out, walked to Polly, put it down, and said.

"Bob Rockefeller from David's Company came to our Manhattan International Bank yesterday afternoon with an application for revolving mortgage financing cooperation."

"Bob?" Polly looked up at Rosenlow in surprise, took the information, looked through it a few times, and waved her hand.

"Go on."

Rosenlow took a closer look at Polly, who had lost a lot of weight recently, then returned to his seat and continued.

“A few months ago, when we met Bob in David’s company, he received a task to conduct a survey on the production technology, sales, market feedback, income and expenditure of domestic high-fructose syrup manufacturers, etc. conducted a more comprehensive investigation.”

"A few days ago, after he followed David to San Francisco and came back, he formed a new company and prepared to fully acquire more than a dozen fructose syrup companies that he had personally inspected."

"Well..." Polly quickly looked through the information in her hand, occasionally writing down some important information with a pen.

After getting Polly's response, Rosenlow deliberately glanced at his somewhat distracted cousin Alto and said.

"When we met in the morning, you said that such a very professional matter should be consulted by a professional..."

“So through the introduction of our bank manager, I went to see the most expensive M&A lawyer on Wall Street and got a pretty good answer from him.”

"Since about six years ago, the number of domestic business mergers and acquisitions has been rapidly growing at a rate of doubling every two years."

"What Bob proposed... using a small amount of original capital + high-leverage bank financing as the starting point for a series of business mergers and acquisitions plans is rare, but it is not too unusual."

"For example, last year there was a burger restaurant that entered New York. It adopted this strategy of high-leverage financing + rapid M&A expansion and quickly opened more than 100 stores in the New York area."

"Wait!"

"What's the name of this burger restaurant you're talking about?"

"START big burger!"

"...Never heard of it!" Polly simply recalled it for a few seconds, then shook her head and gave up.

Alto, who had been "distracted" just now, suddenly said: "On the street near da nightclub, a START burger restaurant opened at the end of last month."

"It is said that the burger set it sells has a very average taste. In addition to being cheap and filling, it also comes with a cup of Coca-Cola."

"Well...Rosenlow, you continue." Polly tapped her fingertips on the desk and said after thinking for a few seconds.

Rosenlow subconsciously licked his lips, raised his hand and pointed at the document in Polly's hand: "It's gone..."

"What's missing?"

"What I wanted to say is gone."

"What?" Polly looked at Rosenlow in disbelief and asked.

"When you consult a lawyer, just listen to what he tells... about the story of START Big Burger opening a store in New York?"

"Yes!"

"Then what? He didn't give you any professional advice..."

"Uh-huh~ Forget it!~" Polly looked at Rosenlow's expression and already knew that she seemed to have made a common-sense mistake.

She rubbed her forehead with her hands, stared down at the important information recorded on the paper, and said.

"When David and I were chatting, he once mentioned it to me~"

"According to the current domestic economic development trend, there will only be more and more commercial mergers and acquisitions within various industries and strategic large-scale commercial mergers and acquisitions across industries as the economy declines and hits the bottom."

"The high deposit interest rates implemented by the Federal Reserve will directly affect the financing difficulty of some companies with troubled capital chains, causing them to have to seek social financing channels with lower thresholds, or simply sell the company to seek self-protection."

"That's why he asked Bob, who had just graduated from college, to personally preside over and participate in this seemingly extremely difficult... large-scale merger and acquisition plan in the fructose syrup production industry."

"As for the reason~"

Polly tilted her head and looked at Alto and Rosenlot, showed an unknown smile, and said.

"David has already told me his development plan for the company in the next five years."

"It also includes the fructose syrup merger and acquisition plan, the future development plan of our family bank, and part of his own long-term investment plan on Wall Street, etc."

“The Rockefeller family owns the number one bank in New York, Chase Manhattan Bank!”

"I guess~"

"Bob was able to find our bank to submit this loan application because of David's tip..."

"And Bob certainly wasn't going to submit this application to just two banks."

"Because this kind of large-scale business merger and acquisition plan is almost impossible to hide on Wall Street~"

"It's just that the presence and value of the domestic fructose syrup industry are too low, and it's difficult to attract the interest of those greedy vampires."

Rosenlow's eyebrows knitted together, trying to "digest" the "nutrition" in Polly's words, and asked tentatively.

"Then do we want to get involved?"

"Haha~"

Polly smiled and shook her head feeling a little "tired", looked at Alto and asked: "What about you? Don't you have any personal opinions?"

"I.."

"I think you can try it!"

"Oh?"

"Tell me the details."

"Ok!"

Alto looked like a "poisonous insect" who was very excited after just sucking the leaves. He puffed up his chest and looked at Polly and said seriously.

"David Coleman once said~"

“Business, it’s business, it’s just business!”

“A successful business, if it contains human feelings, will not only allow us to gain huge profits, but also gain friendship and related human resources.”

"But if there is only favor in a business, it is not a business, but a transaction!"

"Bob Rockefeller is an employee of David Company."

"The purpose of David teaching him his plan is actually not the most important issue for us to consider!"

"All we need to consider is... can he succeed? Can he complete David's plan? Can he help our bank quickly expand its popularity and influence?"

"And, can he become our friend after getting financing from our bank!"
