Chapter 45 I should fire my stockbroker

After continuing to chat with them in Monica's apartment for a while, Locke left Monica's apartment with the breakfast he brought to Tang Wei.

From their conversation, Locke knew that Chandler's best friend roommate would be in place soon, but Rachel would probably have to wait a year or two.

In the past year, every time Locke came to New York, he would go to the bar to drink and chat with them.

But so far, no tasks have been triggered, which reminds Locke of the Fuzhong Building robbery and Prosperity Town, and the same is true.

Combining the tasks he had completed before, Locke had some vague guesses about the rules of how the system triggers tasks, but he still needed some attempts.

"I really didn't expect your customized dress to fit so well." Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Tang Wei looked at himself in the mirror and looked up and down.

The dress that Locke customized for her was very good, fully demonstrating her advantages. It was obvious that Locke knew her figure and size well, after all, he measured it carefully with both hands.

Tang Wei had been busy all day in preparation for attending the writers' dinner in the evening. The stylist arranged by Locke did not miss any detail. Even if she already felt it was perfect, she still continued to make subtle adjustments.

Even after being so busy, the tension in her heart dissipated a lot.

"So people who invested money in my projects in the past have received unimaginable benefits." The man chatting with Locke at the dinner said this.

Martin Channing in front of him was talking endlessly about his investments, letting Locke know that this Ponzi scheme leader seemed to be targeting him.

Of the US$640 million obtained from Fuzhong Building, excluding the necessary 'handling fees', more than US$400 million was converted into a family fund by Locke and successfully inherited it. He did not conduct any publicity about this matter.

Even now, he has successfully doubled his assets. Apart from his stockbroker, few people know that he already has hundreds of millions of assets.

But now Martin Channing's behavior has given Locke some speculation. It just so happens that he plans to stay in New York for the whole summer vacation, instead of choosing to travel during the vacation like other high school graduates, also to deal with some things.

The tax rate in the United States is very high, especially if you make profits from the stock market or financial investments, but you do not need to pay taxes on investment profits until you are ready to withdraw them for personal expenses.

Financial investment only has stamp duty and no other taxes, because financial investment is a very risky investment and most of the time it results in losses. If you make a profit, you have to pay nearly half of the tax. So when you make a loss on your investment, do you need a tax refund?

"I'm glad to talk to you about this. If I have time, I will learn more about your fund." Locke said with a smile.

"No problem, I will ask my assistant to send these materials to you."

"Ah, no problem." Locke ended the conversation with Martin Channing with a smile, and then he whispered in Tang Wei's ear: "I think I should fire my current stockbroker."

"Fire the stock broker? Why?" Tang Wei was surprised.

Locke smiled and did not explain, and continued to chat with the people he met at the banquet, talking about the economy with men, mocking the government, talking about fashion and art in front of women, in short, all kinds of bragging and spanking.

Unknowingly, time passed. At night, he and Tang Wei returned to their residence. After Tang Wei fell asleep, Locke came to Trinity Church again.

The entry this time was very smooth. Locke bought the equipment during the day and dropped directly to the bottom through the rope. He did not want to step on those wooden spiral stairs that had been corroded for two hundred years.

As for the pipe, he also thought of a way. It's not difficult actually. He only needs to know the shape and size of the pipe on the mechanism, and then it shouldn't be difficult to build one directly.

As for notifying the US government, at least wait until Locke has obtained all the gold, jewelry and other easily taken away items in the treasure before considering it. Of course, it is best to keep the secret.

Those individually large works of art may have sufficient value, but large quantities of works of art are not so easy to hide and sell.

Ordinary small works of art are fine, and can be sold by moving ants, but large works of art are a different matter. They need to find a suitable place to place them, and it is difficult to explain the source if they want to sell them.

Not to mention how much it can be sold for, the key point is that there are so many large-scale works of art. If you accidentally fail to explain clearly, you may face various difficulties.

Now Locke may have money, but the corresponding connections have not yet been established, and the troubles caused may make him in a hurry.

As for transporting things out, it is not as difficult as imagined. After all, Locke has storage space. Especially after discovering this treasure, Locke expanded the storage space to 5 cubic meters.

According to Locke's idea, it is best to leave these things that are inconvenient to take away here, saving a lot of possible trouble. Even if the treasure hunting expert finds this place in the future, it will be impossible to contact Locke.

Just thinking that the US government might be so cheap in the future still makes Locke feel uncomfortable.

With this thought in his mind, Locke came to the keyhole of the pipe, took out the prepared measuring instrument and started measuring. Then he drew the pipe bit by bit based on the keychain and the pictures in his memory.

After finally confirming that it was correct, he took out the prepared materials and tools and got busy.

After the production was completed, Locke put the pipe in, followed the action in the movie, first turned it half a turn clockwise, and then pressed it down.

The next moment, the sound of creaking and creaking mechanisms was heard in the stone wall, and a new passage appeared in front of Locke.

At this time, Locke did not light the oil next to the escalator as in the plot, but took out several high-power lighting rods.

As the treasure room lit up, one could see dozens of large and small bronze, gold or stone statues and gold utensils at a glance.

This is only a small part. What caught Locke's attention the most was the spot in the middle of the treasure room, where dozens of decayed and damaged wooden boxes reflected light.

This is gold, as well as the light reflected by diamonds and jewelry under the light. Locke walked over and saw at a glance more than a dozen white diamonds comparable to pigeon eggs, as well as thumb-sized red, pink, blue, and yellow diamonds. Diamonds or precious stones are piled in a pile.

In addition, there are a large number of gold coins piled up together. When Locke steps on them, he actually feels like he is lying on a mountain of gold.

These gold coins were basically minted in European countries in the 17th and 18th centuries. Because of their huge circulation, they are not too rare and have limited antique value.

However, the quantity was quite large. Locke glanced at it and estimated that there were at least seven or eight tons piled up. When Locke traveled through the time period, it was worth at least one billion US dollars.

When he came to the place where the gems were piled up, Locke picked up a red diamond. He looked at it and felt that it was larger than the largest known colored diamond, the 59.9-carat Pastel Star.

Moreover, the value of red diamonds is higher than that of pink diamonds. If they are auctioned in the future, they may even fetch hundreds of millions of dollars.

In addition, there are various rubies, topaz, and sapphires. After seeing these gems and looking at them carefully, Locke was even more excited when he saw those diamonds.

These gems are all good materials suitable for making the Lord of the Rings. Artificial gems cannot be used as alchemy materials. The gems here are many times better than the rubies I bought for six million dollars and used to make the Lord of the Rings.

With a wave of his hand, Locke quickly put these diamonds and gems into the storage space. He looked at the time and found that time was running out. He simply waved his hand again and filled the storage space with gold coins.

Next, Locke returned the same way, quickly returned to the entrance through the rope mechanism, and carefully left the church.

If nothing unexpected happens, Locke will need to go in and out at least ten times during the next period of time in New York before he can possibly remove the treasures that need to be moved.
