Chapter 46 It Doesn't Matter Whether You Can Win the Lawsuit

When Locke crossed in the previous life, many Wall Street companies had actually moved out of Wall Street, and the name had become a symbol.

These days, as long as it is a company located on Wall Street, it gives the impression that it is rich.

The United States seems to be full of rich people. In fact, even at the time when Locke crossed, according to the statistics of Forbes, there were only 600 people with a wealth of more than [-] million US dollars.

Of course, you also need to consider that some rich people use various methods to hide their assets, so this number may be multiplied by two.

In addition, he doesn't seem to have much assets under his name, but relying on invisible assets such as charitable trusts, antiques, and overseas wealth under his name, he is no less than a billionaire guy.

Overall, the total number of these rich people is about 2000 at most.

The current Locke is also one of these rich people. After the funds obtained in Fuzhong Building were 'legally' transferred to his own name, he found a stockbroker on Wall Street to manage them on his behalf.

This stockbroker has very little authority, and Locke needs to agree to any small transfer of funds, because what Locke needs is an executor who acts according to his orders, not a promoter who tells himself which stock to buy.

These professionals may have good professionalism, but it would be foolish to use a large sum of money to test their professionalism.

In order to avoid similar problems, when he was hired, Locke strictly restricted the authority of the other party, and checked him regularly.

When checking the account in the past few days, Locke did not find that his stockbroker had embezzled funds for investment without authorization, but Martin Channing's enthusiasm for him at the banquet that day still let Locke know that his information must have been leaked up.

After all, the income of the author on the surface is only a few hundred thousand dollars, which is not enough for Martin Channing, who has a capital threshold of one million dollars, to promote his own fund openly and secretly.

Locke didn't know what the stockbroker exchanged his information for, perhaps a good reward, or perhaps the friendship of Martin Channing, an investor who had become famous on Wall Street in the past two years.

He didn't have to figure it out, he just fired his stockbroker and hired a lawyer to pursue the lawsuit against him for leaking his information.

It doesn't really matter whether the evidence is sufficient or whether he can win the lawsuit. The key is to let the reputation of this guy who doesn't follow the rules be completely stink.

After all, no one wants to hire a guy who leaks his information as his stockbroker.

These Wall Street guys are greedy enough and have a flexible moral bottom line. Locke is just expressing his attitude now, so that those who work for him will feel a little more scruples in the future.

This may not completely avoid some problems, but at least it can reduce the frequency of problems.

In his previous life, Locke had changed his destiny through his continuous efforts, but he was just an ordinary person most of the time in his life, which made him more inclined to choose those discounted products when shopping.

It wasn't until the funds were gradually abundant that I gradually felt that the money was for spending. Instead of saving money, I began to think about how to make more money with the funds at hand.

Ordinary people don't have the capital and ability to try this way, so they can only carefully guard the few wealth they have, otherwise they will fall into bankruptcy if they encounter a sudden crisis.

The so-called money making money is basically only suitable for the rich, not for ordinary people. If you really follow the example, you will probably lose in a mess.

In this money game, from the last life until the end, Locke was just a novice who couldn't get started, but in this life, relying on the information of future development trends is enough to make Locke an investment genius in the eyes of others.

In one year, the capital of more than 4 million US dollars was doubled, and Locke took Tang Wei out for shopping without even thinking about the price tag when shopping.

The most indispensable thing on Fifth Avenue is a variety of high-end brand stores, which can be described as fierce competition.

The individual prices of these luxury goods can be bought by the average middle class, such as a set of Dior women's clothing, which generally sells for a few hundred to two thousand dollars, which is about a month's income of the middle class in the United States.

Tang Wei wore a pink skirt today, which didn't go well with the blue top, and the key was not a famous brand.

The clerk didn't have the slightest special look on his face. According to Locke's request, he recommended a suitable match to her very thoughtfully.

In a boutique like this, the focus is not just on the shopping experience of the women, but also on the men who accompany those women, who, after all, are the ones pulling out their wallets in most cases.

While waiting for Tang Wei to try on clothes, Locke sat on the sofa in the corner, drank the coffee brought by the clerk, and glanced at the leather bags on the shelf.

Coming out of the dressing room, Tang Wei was dressed in a white suit, black high-heeled shoes, and her long hair was coiled up. She had a completely different temperament. She had the shrewd and capable appearance of a white-collar woman.

Tang Wei, who was standing in front of the full-length mirror, posed a few poses, walked a few more steps, and then nodded in satisfaction: "The pair of high heels I tried before had a heel of seven centimeters. cm."

"It's okay, this is pretty good, let's just use this set." Locke nodded, and pointed to the shelf where the handbag was placed: "The next step is to choose a suitable bag."

Many men can't understand why women like bags, so a few pieces of broken leather and some zippers can easily sell at a high price, and in the end they can only feel that women's money is really good.

Locke couldn't understand it either, but it didn't prevent him from supporting women's choices at this time.

Seeing that Tang Wei had been choosing for a long time, and finally chose a black handbag, Locke said to the clerk: "Wrap these up first, and send them to the residence after trying them all."

Tang Wei is not the kind of girl who especially likes to shop when she has nothing to do. Except for the brief infatuation with Locke when she first met Locke, she has been very restrained in the face of these luxuries most of the time since then.

In the past year, in addition to tuition fees, Locke gave Tang Wei two thousand dollars a month, but she was able to save half of it, and she never bought expensive luxury goods.

Most of her more expensive clothes and jewelry are bought for her by Locke on his own initiative, as if buying some formal clothes for Tang Wei this time is also to prepare for the next thing.

To be honest, Locke's image is also different from Tang Weiyi's initial imagination.

She thought that Locke was a rich second generation, but it was not until later that she found out that he was actually an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. She didn't know where he got so much money, but spending it was like running water.

When I paid myself tuition fees, I put [-] dollars in a leather bag, and threw it to myself, as if it was just paper.
