Chapter 47 Respect your financial strength

Locke didn't know what Tang Wei was thinking. In fact, he really felt that he had nothing to spend money on.

There is no kind of luxury manor that requires daily maintenance, annual property taxes, and no expenses for airplanes and yachts. The money spent in a month is not as good as the average daily growth of investment.

In my previous life, I was just an ordinary person. If there were no accidents, after I became truly rich, I would probably be busy buying mansions on the Upper East Side, villas on the beach, or spending tens of millions of dollars to buy a plane as a big toy. of.

But after coming into contact with magic, the temptation of these things became dispensable for Locke. The reason why he insisted on investing was mainly to become one of the few people who control the resources.

If Tony Stark was not a super rich man and had connections in the U.S. government and military, how could he have the capital to directly declare that he was Iron Man, and resist the pressure not to hand over the technology of the Iron suit and energy reactor?

If one day it is revealed that he is a magician, only people of the same class will want to sit down and talk, rather than directly violently deal with it.

After walking out of the boutique, Locke said: "When you get back, put on the clothes you bought today, and then learn the walking posture and tone of voice of white-collar women on Wall Street.

Now you look like a novice. Didn't you say that you want to experience the working conditions of white-collar workers in advance? In this case, I will definitely help. "

"I just feel that you have no good intentions." Tang Wei gave Locke a roll of his eyes.

"Whoever has a bad heart should speak with conscience."

Locke said with an upright face, but in his heart it was a pity that he did not get a shorter skirt, just right for Tang Wei to try on at home. Maybe after a few days, he can order a few privately?

"Where to go next?"

After buying what she wanted, Tang Wei felt that it was almost done. She had always envied those independent professional women. Her original goal was to be a white-bones woman in a big company. Even with Locke, she knew she couldn't just rely on him.

To achieve this goal, I am currently working very hard on my studies, but I am not as enthusiastic about dressing up as other female classmates.

"Buy a car first. I will be based in New York in the future. The second-hand car I drove from Texas is not suitable. I am going to sell it and buy another one." Locke said.

After hearing this, Tang Wei said: "Wait a minute, since you don't want to drive the car, just give it to me."

"Yeah, I forgot you don't have a car yet." Locke patted his forehead: "In that case, I'll buy you one by the way."

"No need..." After hearing this, Tang Wei wanted to refuse, but Locke pulled her around the waist and kissed her gently on the mouth: "Okay, just do as I say."

When he came to the store, Locke first chose a relatively fashionable sports car suitable for girls for Tang Wei, and then bought himself a high-end commercial vehicle from Mercedes-Benz, spending a total of 146,000 US dollars.

In my previous life in the Eastern Kingdom, I felt that people were gradually becoming materialistic. However, in this life living in the capitalist society of the United States, I know that American people are more materialistic and pay more attention to cards.

The United States is the world's largest consumer of luxury goods and luxury cars, and Americans prefer to talk about cards, especially white-collar workers in many big cities. Even though they have always relied on credit cards to survive, they still want to look rich.

Universities serve as the transition point between schools and society, and most college students have begun to understand the world of society.

As a Chinese, Tang Wei would have been ostracized. At this time, it was even more important to show financial strength in order to gain the respect of others.

As for the so-called respect for work ability, noble character, etc., most of the people around you are ordinary people, so it is easier to let them respect your financial strength.

After paying by swiping the card, dedicated people will be responsible for the subsequent procedures such as car insurance, license plates, etc. The store will have dedicated personnel to handle the matter and can arrange for it to be delivered to your doorstep the next day.

Unlike Dongguo, the prices of these luxury cars in the United States are not high, mainly because the tariffs are extremely low. However, the cost of maintaining the car will be higher. For this reason, Locke promised to give Tang Weiyi an extra thousand dollars every month. Gas and car maintenance costs.

After buying the car, the two of them sat down at a Starbucks on Wall Street. Locke ordered an Americano without sugar and turned to look at the street outside:

"Now you can observe more of these white-collar workers passing by on the road and learn from them. It won't be long before you become one of them."

"In other words, you will soon become one of those bastards on Wall Street who dare to do anything to make money!" Tang Wei said with a smile: "Are you going to create a financial company?"

"To be precise, it is to acquire a suitable company. It must be one with a financial license. It takes a long time for a newly created company to obtain a financial license. I am not willing to wait any longer."

"Acquisition? Such a company is not cheap, isn't it?" Tang Wei thought for a while and asked.

"It is indeed not cheap if it is a normal financial company, but the fund I acquire does not need to be large in scale, or even has only a few employees. The only thing required is a financial license, and the company will not have hidden liabilities."

After coming into this world and getting rid of the problem of survival, Locke considered how to become a member of Wall Street.

Every day there are people who want to squeeze into Wall Street, and there are also people who leave frustrated every day.

Those who can stay here with dignity are securities traders, investment bank managers, risk control managers, financial analysts, lawyers, etc. who have extremely high financial acumen.

These people deceive and kidnap, and the only purpose of using all means is to make money. A typical example of these people is Martin Channing, whom Locke met at a writer's dinner a few days ago.

If his memory serves him correctly, this is the father of Caroline Channing in the Broke Sisters, who would go to jail seven or eight years later for an illegal Ponzi scheme.

Of course, he has already started to engage in this kind of business, and it is just starting now.

Combined with the changes in the stock market, Locke guessed that Martin Channing in the future would probably encounter the Nasdaq stock market crash. Investors withdrew large sums of funds, and the loopholes could not be made up, leading to a mess.

If not, his scam might have lasted for many more years.

On Wall Street, everyone knows that you should be careful if your returns exceed 5%. Returns of more than 10% are bound to be accompanied by a lot of risks, and it is impossible to make a profit without losing money.

Many people understand the truth, but there are still many people who cannot resist the temptation and invest money in Martin Channing's funds just because of the high returns, but making money is not easy.

What Locke is going to do now is somewhat similar to that of Mr. Martin Channing, but before considering how to design his own fund, the first thing to do is to obtain the professional qualification certificate, which is the so-called license.

If you want to directly acquire a legal company with complete procedures, you must pay a price that exceeds its own assets. Therefore, it is best for the company itself to be close to bankruptcy, so as to better reduce the price.

Of course, we also need to ensure that the company does not have any more problems.

For this reason, Locke has already contacted the middleman, trying to find a suitable company.
