Chapter 65: Weight

Early the next morning, in order to determine the condition of the four long legs, after the run, he went to the warehouse where they settled again.

Sneaking into the warehouse, I first checked the situation of the four long legs, and saw that two of them were watching TV, one was reading the newspaper, and the other was taking a bath, and the sound of water and the aroma of shower gel lingered.

Relying on stealth, Locke swaggered to the side of the car containing the money, and found that the entire car was covered by a plastic sheet.

The plastic sheet made a sound when it moved, which was easy to attract attention, so he simply did not continue to check.

At this moment, there was a noise from the side of the small room, accompanied by the voice of a woman, and then I saw the small window of the room being opened, and at the same time, three long legs that were still resting ran towards this side.

They walked around the car containing the money, especially checked whether the car had been touched, and confirmed that the plastic sheet was still the same as before, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

Vanessa, who was in the lead, also walked down at this time, wearing only a bath towel, barely covering her back, and also began to check around the car.

Seeing this scene, Locke subconsciously tightened his breathing, watching her turn back and forth a few times, the perfect body that was almost unrestrained shook in front of his eyes like that, and water droplets continued to drip from his hair that had not yet been dried, passing over his body.

The scene in front of him is as exciting as some shower gel advertisements, and Locke finally settled down, recorded the exciting picture, and locked it into the memory deep in his mind.

Vanessa confirmed that there was no problem, and then said, "It's okay, it seems that I was too nervous." ”

The other three didn't complain, after all, it was money that they had taken a huge risk to get, and they couldn't be too careful.

The four men returned to their resting rooms and closed the door, the television turned up, and the sound of conversation could be heard.

Locke came to the lounge and listened to their conversation.

They still use Portuguese when they talk, but Locke also has a bad complement to Portuguese these days, and some key words are still understood.

I roughly understood that they were discussing the action according to the plan tomorrow, and there were some details of the action.

After listening to this for a while, the long-legged men ended their conversation and began to eat, and Locke quietly slipped out of the warehouse.

In the evening, Locke took Ashley, who had changed into a dress, to a business reception at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Most of the people attending this reception were senior executives of banks and securities companies, as well as some wealthy people in New York.

Somewhere in the banquet hall, a white man about forty years old suddenly gestured with his eyes: "Look, over there, the new Wall Street genius is here." ”

The three men who were chatting with him also looked over to that side, and these were all important people in banks or investment banks.

One of them, a man in his 60s with gray hair, said: "I heard that it has been more than a month since he acquired Sky Fund, and this is the first time I have participated in such a reception. ”

"Speaking of which, you've all heard about the new fund project launched by Sky Fund, right?"

"The principal is guaranteed and the annual dividend is guaranteed to be 6%, which is indeed very attractive, and it seems that he is very confident."

"After all, he also has the ability to be confident, not everyone can more than double more than $400 million in a year, much more powerful than Martin Channing."

"It's a powerful person, if it weren't for his stockbroker greed, I'm afraid we wouldn't know about his existence now, why don't you go and talk to him? John, he's a client of your Citi family. ”

"I'm just a senior executive." John frowned: "There are quite a few people who are eyeing him this time, but judging by his actions, he is more inclined to absorb investment and operate it himself, rather than handing over the money to others." ”

"I feel the same way, I heard that he has just set up his own asset management office, put a lot of money into several companies, including Time Warner, and is planning a seat on the board of directors.

Coupled with the fact that Sky Fund is still continuing to absorb investment, it seems that he is not ready to continue to take risks with his own money, after all, no one can guarantee eternal success, so he made a smart choice. ”

"The principal guarantee is not smart enough, and if there is a problem, he will have to fill it with his own funds."

"Who knows what he thinks, but it is said that his fund company has attracted $40 million so far, but more people are waiting to see if he can continue to succeed."

On the other hand, Locke, who walked into the banquet hall holding Ashley's hand, also felt the curiosity, surprise, scrutiny, and other eyes containing various emotions coming from all around.

He is not surprised that his identity has not yet been revealed to the public, but at this time, in the eyes of these people who have resources, it is no longer a secret, and they are also carefully examining Locke, the 'little guy' who suddenly appeared.

"Hi Rock Lee, I'm glad you accepted my invitation." Charlie, an executive at Merrill Lynch, was the host of the reception, and with his arrival, more people turned their attention to this side.

"Hello, Mr. Charlie, Sky Fund." Locke shook hands with the other man.

Soon, John, the president of Citibank, and the vice president of Lehman Brothers also walked in front of him, and Locke greeted them one by one with a smile and introduced himself.

Since you can't hide your identity, and you will have to eat on Wall Street in the future, you always have to contact these Wall Street bigwigs, or the heads of local consortia in New York, and by the way, you can also establish contacts.

The two sides had some meaning of affection and affection, and soon the conversation was very smooth, and Locke also promoted his fund project.

"He's really popular, and it looks like everybody likes him."

"Even William has passed." The middle-aged man who was watching the movement from a distance whispered to the young woman next to him:

"In the end, he can make money, and it is said that this red neck from Texas has more than doubled hundreds of millions of dollars in just one year."

"My God, that's a great fortune."

"So now everyone wants to get close to him, and at the same time test whether he is lucky for a while, or really capable." Man says:

"As long as he can continue to prove his skills, someone will soon pull out the money to work with him."

Ashley stood beside Locke and listened to him chatting with the people around him.

She couldn't understand what Locke and these people were talking about, such as energy industry trends and foreign exchange quotes, but from the titles of these people, she knew that they were all big names who couldn't be contacted before.

She knew that Locke was a billionaire, but she didn't have a particularly intuitive feeling except that she didn't look at the price when she bought something.

But at this moment, seeing Locke talking and laughing with these people, he finally realized the weight of the identity of a billionaire.
