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

I was just an ordinary person in my previous life. If there is no accident, when I become rich, I will probably be busy buying a mansion on the Upper East Side, a beach villa by the sea, or spending tens of millions of dollars on an airplane as a big toy. of.

But after getting in touch with magic, the temptation of these things became dispensable on Locke's side. The reason why he insisted on investing was mainly to become one of the few people who mastered resources.

If Tony Stark wasn't a super rich man with connections in the U.S. government and military, how could he have the capital to directly announce that he was Iron Man, and resisted the pressure not to hand over the steel suit and energy reactor technology.

In case the fact that he is a magician is revealed one day, and only people of the same class, those guys will want to sit down and have a talk instead of directly violent treatment.

Walking out of the boutique, Locke said: "When you go back, you can change into the clothes you bought today, and then you have to learn the walking posture and speaking tone of Wall Street white-collar women.

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

"I just think you have no good intentions." Tang Wei gave Locke a supercilious look.

"Who doesn't have a good heart, you have to speak up to your conscience."

Locke said with a righteous face, but he regretted that he didn't get a shorter skirt, which was just right for Tang Wei to try wearing at home. Maybe he could order a few sets in a few days?
"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 bone spirit in a big company. Even with Locke, she knew that she could not rely on him alone.

For this goal, at this stage, she is working extremely hard in her studies, but she is not as enthusiastic about dressing as other female students.

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

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

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

"No need..." Tang Wei wanted to decline after hearing this, but was pulled by Locke and put his arms around her waist, and kissed her gently on the lips: "Okay, just do as I said."

When he came to the specialty store, Locke first chose a fashionable sports car suitable for girls to drive for Tang Wei, and then bought himself a high-end commercial vehicle owned by Mercedes-Benz, which cost a total of 14 US dollars.

In my previous life in the East, I felt that people were gradually becoming materialistic, but living in the capitalist society of the United States in this life, 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 their faces, 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.

As a transition point between school and society, the vast majority of college students have begun to experience the sophistication of society.

As a Chinese, Tang Wei would have been ostracized. At this time, he had to show his financial resources so that he could 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 for them to respect your financial strength.

After swiping the card to pay, there are special people responsible for the car insurance, license plate and other procedures. The specialty store has a special person to connect, and the next day can arrange for someone to deliver it to the door.

Unlike Dongguo, the price of these luxury cars in America is not high, mainly because the tariffs are extremely low, but the cost of maintaining the car will be more in the future. For this reason, Locke promised to give Tang Weiyi an extra thousand dollars a month for use. Gas and car maintenance costs.

After buying the car, the two sat down at a Starbucks on Wall Street. Locke ordered a cup of Americano without sugar, and turned his head 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, and you will become one of them soon."

"That is to say, you will soon become those bastards on Wall Street who dare to do anything to make money!" Tang Wei said with a smile: "Are you going to start a financial company?"

"To be precise, to acquire a suitable company, it must have a financial license. It takes a long time for a newly established company to obtain a financial license. I don't want to wait any longer."

"Acquisition? Such a company is not cheap, right?" Tang Wei asked after thinking about it.

"If it's a normal financial company, it's really not cheap, but the fund I buy doesn't need to be large, or even a few employees. The only thing you need is a financial license, and the company will not have hidden liabilities."

Coming to this world, after getting rid of the problem of survival, Locke thought about how to become a member of Wall Street.

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

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

These people are cheating and abducting, and the only purpose of exhausting means is to make money. A typical example is Martin Channing whom Locke met at the writer's dinner a few days ago.

If he recalled correctly, this was the father of Broke Girls Caroline Channing, who would end up in jail seven or eight years later for an illegal Ponzi scheme.

Of course he's already started this kind of business, and it's just getting started.

Combining the changes in the stock market, Locke guessed that the future Martin Channing would probably encounter the Nasdaq stock market crash. Investors withdrew a large amount of funds, and the loopholes could not be repaired, resulting in a mess.

If not, his deceit might last for many more years.

In Wall Street, anyone who knows that the return of more than 5.00% should be careful. The return of more than [-]% must be accompanied by a lot of risks, and it is absolutely impossible to make a profit without losing money.

Many people understand the truth, but there are still many people who can't resist the temptation to invest money in Martin Channing's fund because of the high returns, and 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, getting the professional qualification certificate, the so-called license, is the first thing.

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 lower the price.

Of course, it is also necessary to ensure that the company has no more problems.

For this reason, Locke had already contacted the middleman, wanting to find a suitable company.
