Chapter 53 Investment and Resettlement

It's okay when you don't have a lot of money to manage, but as your money under management grows, so does the amount of money you need to pay.

But now they are still on the phone, and none of these people have said what is in their hearts.

Spily on the other end of the phone also paused for a moment, and then asked: "Guaranteed principal, and six percent dividends per year, are you sure?" ”

"Of course, we are very sure that we have designed the most stable financial investment model, as long as it is a year, someone will contact you, and you can choose to withdraw with interest or continue to invest.

However, if we continue to invest, the dividend may not be so high, and at present, we are trying to make a name for ourselves, and the dividend after that is about 5% to 5.5%.

Because you are an old customer, you can enjoy the current discount. ”

Hedge funds are not so popular now, and Locke has already prepared relevant instructions, and people in the industry can understand the rationale, which sounds very high-end to the layman.

What I just said is to create an image of the company's strength, and then impress the other party with the conditions of guaranteed principal and fixed income. ”

Mr. Spitt was already moved at this time, but he still asked vigilantly: "Why haven't I heard of this product before?" ”

Locke didn't want to answer: "The company has changed owners, and Mr. Andrew's family has problems and has no intention of running the company, so it was sold to a new owner."

If you want to recoup your investment, you have received a total of $20 million in investment from investors who are interested in our investment model and will increase the size of their investment in the future......

Do you want to recoup your investment first? No problem, it's coming in next week at the latest, you know, these banks aren't very efficient. ”

Locke didn't care about recovering his investment, because he could feel that the other party was already extremely excited.

Sure enough, before he could continue to say anything, the other party's words paused, and then I heard him say: "Your name is Locke, right, you definitely don't lose money, and you pay six percent of the dividends every year?" ”

"Yes, our new boss promises that if he doesn't meet the requirements, he is willing to pay for it himself."

"Well, I'll think about it, I'll get back to you tomorrow, and up to half a million dollars per person? Can't there be more? ”

Hearing this, Locke raised his eyebrows:

"I'm sorry Mr. Speart, for ordinary investors, the maximum limit for personal investment is $500,000, if you think about it, we will tell you about our investment model in detail......"

After continuing to talk for a few words, Locke hung up the phone, looked at the eyes of several people in the room, and said with a smile: "What, are you afraid of encountering a Ponzi scheme?"

I myself invested $120 million in the company's account, and even if it was all used to pay dividends, you don't have to worry. ”

Hearing this, these people calculated a little, 120 million US dollars, unless the funds raised reach 2 billion, there is no need to worry about not being able to pay the first installment of dividends.

In a short period of time, it is impossible to get the company to get so much investment, or even a tenth.

As for Locke himself playing too much and losing money, they don't care too much, and now Locke's image here is still a rich second generation who wants to start a business.

Locke didn't plan to dwell too much on this: "Okay, next I will give you some information about new projects and hedge fund ideas, you all have to be familiar with it, and then use relevant information to attract investment."

In addition, the main investment of the project is divided into two parts, the main part is the stocks of some companies, and the futures and foreign exchange market ......"

Locke began to arrange the task, Tang Wei listened quietly beside him, watching him tell with ease, answer questions, and look full of confidence, for no reason I felt that Locke might really succeed.

So for the next half a month, Locke took Tang Wei to be busy in the Sky Fund Company during the day, and at night he would sneak into the Trinity Church to carry the treasure.

The new company needs to be audited, and the system needs to be improved, except for the expansion of the storage space, the treasure is placed in a rented warehouse in the suburbs.

In addition to gold coins and jewelry, the more numerous and more valuable of these treasures are the archaeologically and historically valuable parchment scrolls and materials, as well as numerous bronze, stone, and gold statues and works of art.

Most of these things would be removed by Locke, except for a few large pieces of art, which Locke thought would be better left there.

I will definitely find a way to transfer what I got in the future, but it is not a big problem to transfer it in a short time.

After these treasures are in his hands, Locke seems to be a little empty, mainly because once there is too much of anything, people will lose interest in it.

At this time, Locke's wealth had made him the man at the top of the pyramid, not to mention the large number of works of art that were difficult to value, and the sale of white and pink diamonds on hand was enough to increase the funds on hand a lot.

As for the gems, of course, they are kept, and when the magic level is enough, they can be used to craft magic items.

Not only the Lord of the Rings, but many magic items, if used with good gems, will greatly increase their power.

Artificial gemstones are not at all comparable to natural gemstones in this regard.

With these gems, after the alchemy technology is improved, you can build all kinds of equipment for yourself, so Locke may sell the diamonds in the treasure or art, gold, etc., but these natural gems are not for sale.

As for the Sky Fund, Locke hired a new employee, returned a small number of investors who withdrew their funds, and transferred the promised $120 million to the company's account to operate.

The process of attracting new investment has also begun, and the amount of funds for new project management has now reached more than 9 million.

The amount is not much, but Locke believes that as the fame spreads, there will definitely be more and more people willing to invest in the future.

With such a company, there are a few more elites under his hands, and he can create some overseas accounts separately when he is free, so that Locke can more easily hide his rapidly growing assets, and the assets on the bright side can be displayed as needed in the future.

Tang Wei also joined the company as Locke's assistant, and the salary was not high, with a weekly salary of $150 during the internship period and $350 per week for formal employment.

However, Locke's promise of $2,000 in living expenses has not been canceled, and he will be able to receive dividends like other employees at the end of the year.

Tang Wei's usual job is to help Locke deliver some documents or other chores, and Locke arranged for her to study with Miss Mora in her free time, so she was still very satisfied with Locke's arrangement for him.

The company bought it, and Locke also needed to get a place to settle down in New York, and Tang Wei's apartment was still too small.

Didn't want to buy a big house in New York, just rented a hotel apartment a few hundred meters away from the company as a place to stay when needed.

The new apartment has a total area of about 130 square meters, a total of two rooms, and the decoration style is more European, with a large living room area and dark red floors with dark blue curtains.

The furnishings are all new, the coffee table, dining table, and cabinets are all made of gold camphor wood, and standing by the living room window, you can see the bank across the road, and next to Wall Street.

As for schools, supermarkets and anything, you don't have to think about it, because it's not very practical for Locke.

The new apartment is not as close to Columbia as the original, and Tang Wei usually lives in the original apartment, and only depends on where he lives when Locke returns to New York.

Didn't consider buying a house in New York City, after all, he was going to college in Princeton for the next few years, not living in New York.

The house he bought in the nearby town of Wisteria County was not a mansion like a manor, but a common single-family house in the suburbs, and most of the people living around him were middle-class and better-off, but his house was slightly larger than that of his neighbors.

The town is only a half-hour drive from the school, making it easy for the Swansons to get to school and find a temporary guardian for the Swansons.

As for Monica's being Peggy's temporary guardian, Barry refused, because Monica usually lives in New York, and it is not convenient to rush to school if there is anything urgent.
