Many companies on Wall Street have businesses similar to middlemen, such as the well-known consulting firm McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, PricewaterhouseCoopers, etc.

Locke went to PricewaterhouseCoopers, and after stating his requirements, they quickly selected seven or eight companies that met Locke's requirements for him to choose from.

These companies all have complete financial licenses and their liabilities are within one million US dollars.

Quickly looking through the information provided by the middle-aged salesman in front of him, Locke said casually:

"There cannot be any omissions in the information you provided. I want you to review it again to make sure there are no problems, especially no discovered liabilities or lawsuits.

By the way, I won't pay even one cent. How much money you want to make from this business depends on your ability and how much you can get from the other party's commission. "

As intermediaries, these consulting companies are similar in nature to the black intermediaries legendary on the Dongguo Internet in his previous life. Both sides make money. Based on the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of others, he made this request.

Tang Wei didn't expect Locke to make such a request, and he didn't even give him any money. This was outrageous.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged salesman Robert smiled after being stunned for a while:

"Sir, I can agree to your request. I guarantee that I can have the bosses of these companies standing in front of you within two hours. The price will definitely be right, but I also need some cooperation from you..."

This reaction left Tang Wei a little stunned. The other party actually agreed to what she considered to be some outrageous conditions.

As for the other request, it is not difficult, which is to express that the reason why Locke chose to buy it was because of Robert's strong recommendation.

Locke is planning to buy companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy. Those whose investments have failed and even owe debts are eager for someone to invest or even sell the company directly without having to bear the pressure of running the company.

At this time, these consulting companies, as intermediaries, will naturally charge commission fees.

Tang Wei was surprised at this time just because he didn't understand the rules.

To be honest, Tang Wei still doesn't understand why Locke insisted on buying a financial company that was about to go bankrupt instead of choosing a financial company that was operating normally and well.

As for the fees of middlemen.

Who wants to transfer their debt to someone else and get some money back with a company that is no longer valuable?

Wall Street is full of various financial companies. There is never a shortage of those who are about to go bankrupt, but what is lacking is people who are willing to take over.

So even if the salesman asks for double the fee, as long as he can get rid of hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, the bosses of these companies will hold their noses and admit it.

Originally, Robert looked at Locke's young and immature look, so he guessed that he was a rich second generation who didn't know about that family and was planning to start a business. He also thought that if he didn't know the rules, he could cheat him and make more money.

But now that Locke is acting like a knowledgeable person, he can only turn his attention to these guys who are eager to sell the company.

The most wasteful thing in the world is the rich second generation starting their own businesses. Almost everyone wants to make a fortune from these rich second generations.

Locke actually did this to save time. If he joined himself to start a new company, it would take a lot of time and energy just to apply for various types of licenses.

If you don’t have enough connections, you’ll need to spend a lot of money if you want to get a license quickly.

Sometimes the amount of money required even exceeds the cost of purchasing a ready-made financial company with complete procedures on the condition of assuming debt.

In Locke's view, as long as he can quickly win a shell company that can raise funds, even if he invests more, the time saved will allow him to earn more returns.

After negotiating with the salesperson from the consulting company, Locke nodded: "Very good, Assistant Alice, leave me your contact information and call me when you find a suitable company."

After a conversation, Locke showed off the air of a wealthy man, and his own dressing temperament was enough to make people believe this.

Tang Wei nodded, showed a professional smile, and handed over the prepared business card.

This is who she is now, and this is what she does as an intern during the summer.

After leaving the consulting company, Tang Wei endured the pain of wearing high heels for a long time and returned to the car with Locke. After fastening his seat belt, he reached out and rubbed his sore heels and asked:

"What happened just now? How could they agree to your conditions, and you actually said that you can bear debts of less than one million US dollars."

“This is all for investment needs. After all, it is not that easy to obtain a registered investment adviser license approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and there are many procedures to go through.

Being able to acquire a company directly allows me to provide investment advisory services directly to investors.

In other words, it can legitimately absorb people's funds for investment, and it is cost-effective to bear a limited amount of debt for this purpose. "

"Well, it seems that you have made up your mind to be a vampire on Wall Street." Tang Wei studied finance, so he naturally knew what Locke wanted to do.

"Of course, and I believe that those who are willing to invest money in my company in the future will be satisfied because I can help them make money." Locke said with great confidence.

"Aha, that's a good idea, but if anyone could make money by investing, there wouldn't be so many poor people in the world."

Because he has a certain understanding of the financial profession, Tang Wei knows that it is not easy to make money through finance, and it is more like becoming a skeleton on the road to success.

Of course Locke knew that it was difficult to do the investment and financial management industry, otherwise Mr. Martin Channing would not have started a Ponzi scheme.

But after so many years of rebirth, Locke has determined that the overall financial trends in this world are the same as in his previous life. In other words, he can know which companies have development potential and what investments can make money.

"Okay, you don't have to worry. When the company is acquired, you can be my assistant with peace of mind." Locke was in a good mood and said in a relaxed tone:

"At that time, you just need to send me some information and convey orders. When you graduate, I can give you a 2% option and make you a millionaire just by relying on the dividends."

"Millionaire?!" Tang Wei gave Locke a roll of his eyes: "I just want to pray that the company will not go bankrupt and liquidate by then. It is better to give me more salary."

"You really don't think about it more?"

After Locke said this, he saw Tang Wei shaking his head without hesitation.

He didn't care, shrugged and said: "No problem, I hope you won't regret it in the future. You may not know what you missed."

"Thank you, but no need." Tang Wei said without hesitation.

"Then as previously agreed, the six-month internship period will be followed by a basic salary of US$150 per week. After the internship period, the basic salary will be US$350. In addition, bonuses will be paid according to industry regulations." Locke said.

"No problem, that's it." Tang Wei saw that Locke hadn't made any move yet, so he said, "Let's go have lunch now. I just ate a piece of bread in the morning. I'm so hungry."

What else could Locke say? He started the car and drove skillfully into the traffic flow, setting his sights on a delicious Sichuan restaurant.
