Chapter Eighty-Seven: I Don't Really Like Geng Zhi

After a brief chat, Deborah found that her usual invincible beauty didn't seem to have much effect on Locke, and the other party's attitude seemed to be very enthusiastic, but in fact implied distance.

This is not the same as the information she collected before, Rock Lee has never had beautiful women around him since high school, and now he has raised a few, and there are even future alternatives.

Such a person sees herself, but she has such an attitude, which makes her unwilling and has the urge to conquer the other party.

Fortunately, these thoughts did not make her forget her business, and after shifting the topic to Sky Fund, she suddenly said:

"Your fund company's wealth management projects seem to be very different from other fund companies, and I appreciate your investment approach. But if I were to be an investor, I would prefer dividends rather than fixed returns.

And I carefully read the information of your fund project, and there are no clear regulations in the investment contract on how your company will use the investor's funds and choose which investment direction. โ€

Hearing this, Locke could see that the other party was eyeing Sky Fund Company, or rather his ability to make money.

Fortunately, he had already prepared for a similar topic, and he had time to come up with a response rhetoric:

"The choice of fixed income is also for the sake of investors, you must know that apart from us, there is no foundation on Wall Street that has made a clear commitment to guarantee and fixed income.

Even our management fees are lower than the industry average, so we take a huge risk, which is our responsibility at Sky Fund, and even when the investment returns are too low, we need to fill it ourselves.

People in the industry know that the average return of the entire industry on Wall Street is lower than the fixed income we promised, and at the same time, there are always losses and gains in investment, and we can only guarantee that the overall return in the long term meets expectations.

If most of the dividends are given to investors when the returns are high, and even losses occur when the returns are low, we may even go bankrupt in order to ensure the guaranteed capital, and the investors will suffer losses.

So I think the guaranteed plus fixed income is the best choice for both parties.

As for the investment direction mentioned by Miss You Ying, it involves the issue of trade secrets, and the investment model of Sky Fund Company is carefully designed by me and has taken a lot of energy.

Therefore, I don't want to write a clear investment direction in the contract, which may lead to the possibility of leakage of the results of my hard work, which I believe can be understood by those who are willing to invest. โ€

This high-sounding remark sounded very well-reasoned, but Deborah did not agree, because she guessed that the person in front of her must have the confidence to use the investor's money to earn excess profits.

But this is just her speculation, Wall Street has been established for so many years, and it is not that there have been people who have seized the opportunity by chance and reaped several times the benefits.

However, such opportunities are often encountered only once in several years or even more than ten years, and cannot be used as a reference standard.

Under normal circumstances, it is indeed the same as what Locke said, even if it is a well-run fund company, the average rate of return is difficult to exceed the fixed income promised by Locke, let alone the guaranteed guarantee.

It's not that no one has made the same guess as Deborah, but when you think about it rationally, Locke's project is really a good deal.

But Deborah has a stubborn personality, and after collecting information about Locke, and coming into contact with Locke, she intuitively believes that Locke can get more out of it.

She wants a piece of the pie and proposes to share the dividends, but Locke will never agree to this condition, he wants to use other people's money to make money for himself, not to be a tool to help others make money.

So after a few more words, Locke simply confessed and pulled Peggy to continue the conversation with the others.

Sensing Deborah's last look, he decided that in the future, the funds of the Sky Fund Company would try not to go to the banks that were close to the You Ying family, and at the same time increase investment in the banking industry.

"You're not science at all, you don't know science at all, and the reason why you were invited here is only because you need your money."

A sudden high pitch made the banquet hall fall silent, and everyone looked at the person who had said it.

After little Sheldon finished speaking, he noticed that everyone was watching him, and he simply continued: "Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm telling the truth, what you just said ......"

As soon as he said this, little Sheldon's mouth was covered by the headmaster who rushed over, and with an embarrassed micro, the headmaster said:

"I'm sorry everyone, our little genius doesn't seem to be resting well, and he has some mental discomfort, so I'll take him back to rest first."

"Sure enough, you guessed it." Peggy whispered in Locke's ear, "I'm afraid Sheldon is going to be miserable." โ€

"It really doesn't disappoint."

Locke was not surprised that when Sheldon was doing the same thing at Caltech more than a decade later, he was reluctant to shake hands with the donor in disgust, and said confidently: "Take out your money." โ€

The principal asked little Sheldon to leave, explaining that he must not let little Sheldon speak again, and then walked up to the donor with some trepidation: "I'm sorry, Mr. Thal, Sheldon ...... him"

"It doesn't matter, I appreciate the straightforwardness of this little genius and am willing to donate twenty percent more to the school than last year."

The next moment, everyone applauded and praised the gentleman for his big heart.

This was an unexpected surprise for the school.

Peggy couldn't help but say, "Can he do this?" โ€

"Mr. Tal is willing to donate, and even increase the amount, because he is a smart man, and not because he really likes Sheldon's uprightness." Locke nodded, and gestured around.

Soon, Peggy figured out that as Mr. Tรกr, competing with Sheldon Jr., would fall into the inferior, and it was better to do so to gain prestige and honor.

After some twists and turns, the donor banquet returned to normal, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the scene just now and continued to talk and laugh.

As for what Mr. Taal would think in private, it was not for anyone else to guess.

To put it bluntly, little Sheldon also has an age advantage.

More than a decade later, Shelton, who works at Caltech, took the same bad attitude and said that getting those people to hand over their money was no different than it is now.

The Big Bang Theory did not explain the attitude of those donors, but the school banned him from participating in similar activities in the future, in fact, some clues can be seen.

That's not bad, but if any donor gets a grudge because of Sheldon's attitude and wants to deal with Sheldon, who can even chase after the chickens, it's not too simple.
