Chapter 47 Respect Your Economic Strength

Locke didn't know what Tang Wei was thinking, in fact, he really felt that he didn't have anything to spend money on.

There is no such luxury estate that needs daily maintenance, annual property taxes, and no expenses for planes and yachts, and the amount of money spent in a month is not comparable to the average daily increase in investment.

In the previous life, they were just ordinary people, and if there were no accidents, after they really became rich, most of them would be busy buying mansions on the Upper East Side, villas with beaches by the sea, or spending tens of millions of dollars on an airplane as a big toy.

But after coming into contact with magic, the temptation of these things became dispensable on Locke's side, and the reason why he insisted on investing was mainly to be able to become one of the few people who had the resources in his hands.

If Tony Stark is not a super-rich man with connections in the government and military of the United States, how can he have the capital to directly declare himself to be Iron Man, and he is still under pressure not to hand over the steel suit and energy reactor technology.

If one day the fact that he is a magician is leaked, only people of the same class will think of sitting down and talking, instead of directly treating them violently.

Walking out of the boutique, Locke said: "When you go back, you can change into the clothes you bought today, and then you have to learn the walking posture and tone of voice of Wall Street white-collar women."

Now you look like a novice, didn't you say that you want to experience the working conditions of white-collar workers in advance, in this case, I will definitely help. ”

"I just don't think you're at ease." Tang Wei gave Locke a roll of his eyes.

"Who is not at ease, speak according to their conscience."

Locke said with a righteous face, but it was a pity in his heart that he didn't get a set of shorter skirts, just so that Tang Wei could wear them at home and try them out, maybe he could go to a private order for a few sets in a few days?

"Where next?"

Buying what she wants, Tang Wei feels that it is almost over, she has always been envious of those independent professional women, her original goal was to be a white bone spirit in a large company, even if there is Locke, she knows that she can't simply rely on him.

In order to achieve this goal, I am working extremely hard in my studies at this stage, but I am not as enthusiastic about dressing as other female students.

"I'm going to buy a car first, I'm going to be resident in New York in the future, the used car that I drove from Texas before is not suitable, I'm going to sell it and buy another one." Locke said.

Hearing this, Tang Wei said, "Wait a minute, since you don't drive that car, give it to me." ”

"yes, I forgot you don't have a car yet." Locke patted his forehead: "In that case, I'll buy you one by the way." ”

"No need to ......" Tang Wei wanted to excuse himself when he heard this, but he was pulled by Locke and hugged his waist, and gently kissed her on the mouth: "Okay, just do as I say." ”

When he came to the store, Locke first chose a more fashionable sports car for Tang Wei to drive for girls, and then bought himself a high-end business car under Mercedes-Benz, which cost a total of 146,000 US dollars.

In my previous life in Dongguo, I felt that people gradually began to become materialistic, but in this life living in the capitalist society of the United States, I know that the people of the United States are more material and pay more attention to the cards.

The United States is the world's largest consumer of luxury goods and luxury cars, and the people of the United States prefer to talk about cards, especially white-collar workers in many big cities, even if they have always relied on credit cards to get by, they still want to make themselves look rich.

As a transfer point between school and society, the vast majority of college students have begun to experience the sophistication of people in society.

As a Chinese, Tang Wei would have been ostracized, and at this time, he had to show his financial resources so that he could gain the respect of others.

As for the so-called respect for work ability, noble character, etc., most of the people around you are ordinary people, so it is easier for them to respect your economic strength.

After swiping the card to pay, the next car insurance, license plate and other procedures are in charge of special people, and the store has a special person to dock, and the next day you can arrange someone to deliver it to your doorstep.

Unlike Dongguo, the price of these luxury cars in the United States is not high, mainly because the tariffs are very low, but the next need for car maintenance costs is more, so Locke promised to give Tang only 1,000 dollars more every month for fuel and car maintenance expenses.

After buying the car, the two sat down at a Starbucks on Wall Street, and Locke ordered a cup of unsweetened Americano and turned his head to look at the street outside:

"Now you can observe more of these white-collar workers walking by on the road, learn from them, or you will become one of them soon."

"In other words, you're going to be one of those Wall Street bastards who would do anything to make money!" Tang Wei smiled: "Are you going to create a financial company?" ”

"To be exact, to acquire a suitable company, it must be the kind that has a financial license, and it takes a bit of a long time for a newly created company to get a financial license, and I am not willing to wait longer."

"Acquisitions? Such a company is not cheap. Tang Wei thought for a while and asked.

"If it is a normal financial company, it is indeed not cheap, but the fund I acquired does not need to be large, or even only a few employees, the only thing required is a financial license, and the company will not have hidden liabilities."

After coming into this world, after getting rid of the problem of survival, Locke thought about how to become a member of Wall Street.

Every day there are people who want to squeeze into Wall Street, and every day there are people who leave in frustration.

Those who can stay here more decently are securities traders, investment bank managers, risk control managers, financial analysts, and lawyers with extremely high financial acumen.

These people are deceived and deceived, and the only purpose of using all means is to make money, and a typical example is Martin Channing, whom Locke met at the writers' dinner a few days ago.

If he remembered correctly, it was Caroline Channing's father of the bankrupt sisters, who would be imprisoned seven or eight years later for an illegal Ponzi scheme.

Of course, he has already started this kind of business, and now he is just getting started.

Combined with the changes in the stock market, Locke guessed that the future Martin Channing most likely encountered the NASDAQ stock market crash, and investors recovered a large amount of money, and the loopholes could not be repaired, resulting in a mess.

If not, his scam may have lasted for many more years.

On Wall Street, anyone knows that more than 5% returns should be careful, and more than 10% returns are bound to come with a lot of risk, and it is impossible to make a profit without losing money.

Many people understand the truth, but there are still many people who can't resist the temptation to invest money in Martin Channing's fund, because of the high yield, and it is not easy to make money.

What Locke is going to do now is similar to Mr. Martin Johnning, but before thinking about how to design his own fund, getting a license, the so-called license, is the first thing to do.

If you want to directly acquire a legal company with complete procedures, you will have to pay more than its own assets, so it is better for the company itself to be close to bankruptcy in order to better reduce the price.

And, of course, to make sure that the company doesn't have any more problems.

For this reason, Locke had already contacted the middleman to find a suitable company.
