Chapter 118: Little Sheldon's Nightmare

Back in New York after Christmas, Locke took the initiative to fire the deputy finance officer of Sky Fund and hire some new employees, most of whom were responsible for attracting investments across the United States.

This deputy financial officer is very capable and arrogant.

Seeing that Sky Fund is becoming more and more successful, they also got a generous bonus at the end of the year, but it is not worth mentioning at all compared to the bonus dividends that Locke gave him.

Under the red eye, I felt that since Locke, a kid who had not yet graduated from college, could succeed, he could also do it with his own ability.

Therefore, he began to win over clients in private, and was even ready to persuade Ms. Mora, as a manager, to join him and start a fund company together.

The two contacted several times in private, and Ms. Mora also had some interest, but finally refused due to some family reasons.

But the deputy financial officer did not give up, and planned to ask others to start a business together, but Locke noticed it.

After being dismissed, the other party quickly found a partner and began to prepare for the establishment of the company.

Locke doesn't care too much about this, there is no shortage of guys in this world who think they are the children of destiny.

After his dismissal, he quickly promoted a suitable person, and Wall Street had no shortage of elites.

Such a small person, Locke is too lazy to spend energy to slap his face, watching others do it and doing it himself are two different things, after all, not everyone has a perspective on the future.

Some of the antiques in Trinity Church's treasures, plus her own stakes in some companies, helped Deborah get a total of $410 million in loans.

With this money, Rock acquired an 8.6% stake in Wells Fargo from Warren Buffett, and the rest was used to continue investing in promising companies.

Such a loan made Locke's asset-liability ratio in the United States climb to an extremely high level.

He had to make a detailed plan for his assets in the United States, lest the money in the United States be insufficient to pay the interest before the money from the pound crisis arrived.

By the time these things are done, there are only a few days left before the start of school, and I still have to prepare for going to London.

After completing Dr. Gate's math problems, Locke, Peggy, and Sheldon Jr. were all qualified to follow Dr. Gate's team to London and Cambridge for academic exchanges.

There were a total of eight people in the group, all sitting together, and Locke didn't do anything special, he had to upgrade business class to first class.

After spending more than ten hours on the plane, it was still 7 a.m. London time when they arrived at London Heathrow, and the group quickly met the reception staff of Cambridge University and led them to the hotel they had booked.

This academic exchange will last for more than half a month, and the exchange group is not dominated by the three of Locke, so there will be more free time.

He felt that it would be better to take the opportunity to walk around the UK, and it should be a tourist.

Since you have to play everywhere, you naturally have to have a car first, and it can't be too bad.

Go out to buy a car, this year I don't know if there is a four-S store, fortunately, this kind of trivial matter directly instructs the hotel, many high-end hotels have their own channels.

After the order, Locke went back to his room to rest on his jet lag, and when it was noon, he and Peggy came to the dining room.

He ordered a Spanish seafood meal, and as for the legendary dark cuisine of England, just think about it.

As soon as I got back to my room, the hotel service staff came and knocked on the door: "Sir, there happens to be a store in Aston Martin that you want that sells it, and the price is around 7,000 pounds, do you want to check it out now?" ”

Locke nodded: "Help me ask the other party if they accept the check from UBS, I am willing to pay the dollar according to the exchange rate." ”

Several offshore companies overseas have some business cooperation with UBS, and he also has some spare money in his private account with UBS, which is enough to buy a car for consumption.

"This should be fine" As soon as he heard that it was a US dollar check from UBS, the waiter knew that there would be no problem, and immediately bowed and bowed to leave.

About 40 minutes later, the front desk of the hotel called to say that someone from the sales store had come with a car.

When Locke came to the hotel lobby, he saw the car salesman, who introduced the car, and was willing to help complete various procedures, only need to pay a little more service fee.

I tried the car, and I felt that there was no problem, so I settled on the spot.

In order to welcome Dr. Gate's party, the University of Cambridge would have a dinner party in the evening, but it was still early, so Locke simply took out the tourist information provided by the hotel and the news of some recent entertainment.

As a result, when he flipped through the promotional photos of a fashion show, Locke was slightly stunned: "Isn't this the long-legged Vanessa who came to Europe to be a model for a fashion show in the New York robbery." ”

After looking at the date of this fashion show, just a few days later, Rock contacted the hotel and said that he wanted a ticket for the fashion show, and the other party said that there was no problem.

Originally, it was the cooperation between the event party and the hotel that would put the promotion of the fashion show in the hotel to attract qualified customers, so in less than an hour, a waiter delivered the tickets, or in the VIP area.

Locke is actually not very interested in activities such as fashion shows, but since he has seen acquaintances, he also wants to find out whether this is Vanessa.

Dr. Gate's reputation in the mathematics community is very good, otherwise he would not have been invited by the University of Cambridge for academic exchanges, and the welcome dinner for Dr. Gate's was also held very grandly.

In addition to the senior executives and professors of the University of Cambridge, there were also many local elites in London who attended.

Because of the large number of people, the dinner was still held in the form of a buffet, and the president of the University of Cambridge gave a speech and invited Dr. Gatet to speak, introducing the team members, and the dinner officially began.

Locke is now familiar with such dinners, and pulls Peggy to talk to the guests here.

Peggy's genius at this age also attracts some people's curiosity, but fortunately, she is also used to it, and she behaves very appropriately around Locke.

Unexpectedly, it was Sheldon, who taunted a couple for a Ph.D. in archaeology while chatting with them, and then received a panda eye.

Of course, it couldn't be the couple, but the twelve-year-old daughter of the couple, because she couldn't stand little Sheldon's insulting words to her parents, she punched him directly.

When Locke heard the movement and rushed over, little Sheldon covered his eyes, looked at the girl opposite, and unconsciously began to recall in his mind that when he was nine years old and in high school, he was chased by a little girl who was three years younger than him.

In order to avoid the little girl in the neighborhood, Sheldon Jr. once wanted to help the school bus driver file his taxes as a condition that the school bus driver would be closer to his door when he parked.

This can effectively reduce the chance that girls who are always playing nearby will find themselves and be able to hide in their own houses faster.

It's a pity that the school bus driver didn't have a big interest in little Sheldon, who had been talking in his ear that he should maintain school bus discipline, and refused Sheldon Jr.'s request on the grounds of school regulations.

Therefore, every time little Sheldon gets out of the car, he needs to carefully scout the surrounding environment, hiding like a thief, for fear of being blocked by a possible little girl.

It can be said that the figure of the six-year-old girl has always been a nightmare hidden deep in the heart of little Sheldon.

At this moment, the figure of the little girl in the memory has not disappeared from the remaining anger in front of her, and the figure of the girl staring at her coincides, so frightened that little Sheldon does not dare to breathe, and no longer has the righteousness of the husband and wife who ridiculed the doctor of archaeology in front of him just now.

When Locke arrived, he saw the same doctor couple who persuaded their daughter:

"Laura, using violence is not what a lady should do, you should apologize to the other party quickly."
