"Sheldon recently told me about an interesting idea to build a database of research grants." Peggy said to Locke:

"In most cases, donors donate at will, which leads to many people who need research funding not knowing that they can apply for this donation, resulting in projects being delayed or even abandoned due to lack of funds.

If a database of research funding can be established, then the funds can be used to the maximum. ”

"It seems that Sheldon is still a little unwilling." Locke said with a smile.

"That's it." Peggy said: "So when he told me this idea, he said that he was taking me to make money, but I thought it was just a reward that he owed me, what do you think?" ”

"It's a very simple internet application." "There's some value there's there, and if you're interested, you can invest in it, and I can lend it to you my team of lawyers and managers," Locke said. ”

"Even if we cooperate and invest, how much do you think we ask for? 50%？ Peggy asked with a grin.

"It seems that you are far from becoming a black-hearted capitalist." "If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be surprising to ask for 90 percent or even just kick Sheldon out of the way," Locke said. ”

"You're right, the principal gave Sheldon a condition that the school occupy 90 percent." "I don't really care about how much I make, so I don't have to go too far," Peggy said. ”

"It's not difficult to understand that the school is also bullying Sheldon is a child." Locke shrugged his shoulders: "Even the hired professor can get 25%. ”

In the highly commercialized United States, universities are also a business.

Not only do universities use their reputation as scientists to receive large donations, but when they sign contracts with scientists and professors, it is also clear that 75% of any ideas during the tenure of employment belong to the university!

When Locke saw it on The Big Bang Theory, his first feeling was that this was really a superlord clause.

"But no matter how you don't care about money, at least you have to ensure the holding, so it's good to occupy 60% in the early stage, and then look at the investment." Locke says:

"Internet-related companies don't want to make a profit."

Locke doesn't care about a small database business, and Peggy just thinks it's fun, and it is estimated that when the project is completed, she will probably not be interested in dumping it to Locke.

In Locke's view, it is absolutely impossible for any commercial project to give Sheldon Jr. any business-related rights, and once he is allowed to take control, he can't help but point fingers, which is definitely a disaster, so he will ask for 60%.

"Let's do it." Locke concluded, "I'll arrange for someone to contact you to sign a contract with Sheldon's parents. ”

"Aren't you going to show up in person?" Peggy asked.

"I'm going to Europe in two days, and that's big business." Locke said.

"I thought I could partner with you." Peggy had some disappointment.

"There will be opportunities in the future." Locke smiled and said, "And you don't have to worry about these things, it's the right thing to do more scientific research." ”

Four days later, Locke flew to England, this time on the Eagle family's private jet, with Deborah Eagle with him.

At this time, Deborah, who was sitting on the plane, was obviously in a good mood:

"Everyone knows the news from Europe, when you took out a loan before, this is the big business you talked about, and this kind of blatant robbery of a certain country is not so easy to encounter.

It seems that the money I invested in you will end up earning more than I imagined, how the hell did you do it, so early on was sure that things would happen. ”

"No one knows it's going to happen, I just read through all kinds of information about something and bet on it, it's as simple as that." Locke said lightly: "Just simply bet on the future." ”

"Looks like you won in the end."

"We won together." Locke raised his glass and gestured to Deborah.

"Then celebrate the victory!"

The two of them touched their glasses and drank the wine happily together.

"So what are you going to invest in next?" Deborah put the glass down and asked, "I don't know the exact number, but I'm sure you've made a lot of money that would be the envy of my grandfather." ”

"It's never been a secret what I'm investing in." Locke shrugged his shoulders: "Banks, high-tech and media, with this money, it is natural to expand investment in this area, and the previous loan can also be paid off first." ”

"I don't think the bank will mind if you take out a little more time." Deborah said.

"It is true that you should take risks when you should take risks, but in normal times, I still don't want to use capital to the extreme." "Because that means there's no room for manoeuvre when there's a problem," Locke said. ”

"You're a smart man." Deborah Youying nodded, "Then do you have any suggestions?" Or when I get my money, I'll buy all the shares in Wells Fargo? ”

Hearing that Deborah actually wanted a stake in Stud Wells Fargo, Locke wondered if she was planning to rely on herself.

Even without its own influence, this investment will bring a lot of income in the future, and it is indeed a very good investment, and Locke has no reason to stop it.

If Deborah can recognize her position, it's okay, the key is that the beauty in front of her is obviously not a safe master, and she can represent more than just the tens of millions of dollars she invested.

"If you want to cooperate...... Locke thought about it for a moment and said, "You can invest more in Disney shares, it just so happens that I am constantly acquiring shares in Time Warner, and we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

"Are you sure it's a partner, not a competitor." Deborah You Ying said with a smile: "And tens of millions of dollars, you can't get much equity in Disney." ”

"This is a long-term cooperation, and I can't control a large media group like Time Warner in a short period of time." Locke says:

"If you can help me get more shares in Wells Fargo, at least 5 percent, I can accept an investment of $8 million, which is the one that I control at Sky Fund, but I don't ask where the investment is."

"For $20 million, I can help you get an 8% stake in Wells Fargo." Deborah Youying said.

"That's too much, up to 12 million dollars, and the few shareholders I've already contacted can't be counted."

……

After some haggling, the two finally came to an agreement, Deborah helped Locke buy an 8% stake in Wells Fargo, and Locke would give her an investment of $15 million.

After that, Locke calculated in his heart that if he really succeeded, at most by the end of the year, he would be able to get more than 38% of the equity of Wells Fargo, and he could already achieve relative control.

This will be of great benefit to Locke's future capital turnover in the United States and even the world, and how much Deborah's money will gain when it falls into his pocket is not up to him.
