After sending Peggy home, Locke, Ashley, and Tang Wei rested in the hotel for a night, and then Locke sent Ashley back to Prosperity Town alone.

Because of the plague of spiders, the town of Prosperity has been devastated, and its population has plummeted by nearly half, and if it weren't for the re-mining of the gold mines, I am afraid that the town would have been completely abandoned.

But compared to the beginning, Prosperity Town is still a little sluggish.

Samantha and Chris were in discussions about buying a house in Dallas, and after more than a decade, the new veins were mined and they settled in Dallas.

When Locke returned to the hotel, he met an uninvited guest.

"I heard that you went back to Texas, why don't you tell your old friends." Deborah, who was uninvited, picked a nice bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet in her room and poured herself a glass.

Romani Conti more than ten years ago, Locke was no stranger, but in addition to being expensive, he really didn't have any special taste to drink.

Recently, the investment performance of Sky Fund Company is very bright, and she can't find the funds invested in the fund by Locke, but the income of the capital preservation project and the like must be announced to customers on a regular basis.

With Deborah's energy, although the announced income has been shrunk as much as possible, combined with the flow of some funds, it is still known that Sky Fund has made a lot of money.

Although the funding channels chosen by Locke have avoided the You Ying family's estate, some news will be revealed to some extent.

Bank leaks are not uncommon in the United States.

Locke, who had long expected this, would take out a part of it and increase the acquisition of shares in major banks after making money, in addition to steadily collecting loose shares in the stock market, and actively contacting the shareholders of those banks.

If you want to buy shares, you can't just take money, the stock market has a limited number of loose shares, and if you want to buy more shares, you also need those shareholders who are willing to make a move.

This process is inevitably at a premium, and even because most of the bank shares have stable returns, they are regarded by many as heirlooms, and they are reluctant to sell even if they are at a premium.

Locke could only tell the people in the asset management office to collect more information and wait for an opportunity.

There will always be times when money is needed, and investments, personal pleasures, debts, and even bankruptcy will give Locke the opportunity to acquire these shares.

Deborah came to visit, mainly to invite Locke to the You Ying family's manor to play.

She is a very determined person.

Seeing that Locke was unwilling to play with him, and was only willing to sell the financial product project with guaranteed capital and fixed income, he changed his strategy and no longer forced it, but committed to establishing a friendship with Locke.

There was no contradiction between the two people, the business situation is changing, and there will always be times when they can use each other, and Locke naturally can't give each other a look.

The You Ying family has been passed down for five generations, which has also made the family huge, and Deborah's generation alone has hundreds of members.

The vast majority of them are unable to inherit the core part of the family business, and can only get a sum of money every month through the trust fund set up by their ancestors.

But this money is enough for them to live better than ordinary people without doing anything.

The You Ying family's estate covers an area of 3,400 acres, which seems to be about the same size as the farm that Locke acquired.

But unlike a farm, which is only used to farm land and raise cattle, this manor is a complex of buildings that is comparable to a town.

has been inherited for so many generations, and there are a lot of rice worms and strange things in the You Ying family, but there are also elites, and Deborah is one of them, and she is also a strong contender for the inheritance of the family industry.

His great-grandfather, who was in his eighties, claimed to have more than a billion dollars of private wealth, but in fact there were still a lot of fixed assets and works of art that were not counted.

Not to mention the value of the various assets under its control.

Some time ago, Deborah turned twenty years old, and her great-grandfather gave her $10 million as her start-up capital, and she set her sights on Locke by collecting information.

She invited Locke to the manor, and Locke agreed, but only after a few days.

Tang Wei could also feel that Deborah was different from ordinary rich girls.

Ordinary rich girls, such as Jenny, whom Tang Wei knows, think about either handsome guys every day, or new leather bags, clothes, cosmetics and the like launched by luxury stores.

After the incident of the trafficker that day, it is even more conclusive that there must be a strong, handsome, and dedicated man who is silently guarding her.

When she is in danger, save her from the jaws of the tiger, but leave no name, a thousand times better than Locke, a playboy.

Every time he heard this, Tang Wei laughed secretly in his heart, and privately joked with Locke about this matter.

And Deborah gave her a completely different feeling.

Not only can she talk about culture, language, art, food, etc., but she also has a deep understanding of the international situation, industry changes, economic changes, etc., which makes her feel that she has learned a lot.

The day after Deborah left, Rock and Don went to visit Shelton's house, only to meet George Jr. who wanted to invest in Talar.

Locke had some surprises at this.

When he crossed over in his previous life, the plot of Little Sheldon was not over, and he only saw that Little George and the former weather forecaster lady had a child, but they were entangled and not married.

The other party's house is a tire shop.

Combined with the fact that George Jr. will become the tire king of Texas in the future, Locke guesses that George Jr. will start in the future, and it is likely to use the help of the former weather forecaster's mother's family.

But he didn't expect that little George would have this idea at this time.

But it was clear that as a newbie, George Jr. was just talking about his ideas and didn't even have a good business plan.

Looking at little George opposite, Locke couldn't help but sigh:

"So you don't even have a good plan, and you want me to invest in your idea?"

"My idea is very promising, you invest the money in me, and then I will open a store, and we will split the account when I earn the money." Little George said, "Do you need the plan you said for something so easy to understand?" ”

"Then if you have money, and someone comes to you and says something like this, will you give him the money?" Locke said with a sigh.

"If I have money, I'll open my own store." Little George said.

Obviously, little George has a flexible mind and is very wealthy, but now he is still too young to participate in the business, and it is difficult to understand a lot of knowledge in it.

Locke could only say: "If you want me to take out the money, you must always let me know where you are going to spend it, such as the cost of the venue, how many employees are hired, the salaries of the employees, and the channels for purchasing goods."

There is also how to meet the needs of customers, whether there are competitors nearby, what advantages you have over each other, etc., all of which need to be investigated in advance.

Then you need to let me know that you have enough capacity to run the store, manage the staff well, beat the possible competitors, and make a profit.

If you don't think about these in advance, what if you lose money, you pat your ass and leave, I will lose a real amount of money! ”

Successfully bewildered by Locke's words, little George had never considered these issues before.

Mihi, who came over with little George to join in the fun, couldn't help but be stunned.

"That's why many people need to go to school, because you can only learn about these professions at university." Locke thought for a moment and said:

"But depending on your situation, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get into the right university.

So my advice to you is, if you want to start a tire business, then first find a tire shop and work part-time.

Usually watch more and learn more, see how people run the store, where to buy, how to promote and market, and what needs customers have, how to better meet them, so that they are willing to come to your store to consume, etc.

Wait until you've learned almost, and then think about starting your own business. ”

"Then are you willing to invest in Little George then?" Mihi said at this time.

"If the feasibility of the plan is high." Locke said: "After all, we have a relationship, and of course you can try to find other investors." ”

"Then it's decided." Mihi said with great emotional intelligence: "When the time comes, you must invest in us." ”

"Okay." Locke smiled, not paying attention to the careful thinking in Mihi's words.

He is not short of these hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he has no preference for tires and other businesses, if he really succeeds, of course, it is good, and it doesn't matter if he fails.

Maybe in the future, little George, when his grandmother Connie makes a fortune from the small business of the underground casino, she will change her mind and let Connie invest.
