Chapter 48 I Don't Know What I Missed

Many companies on Wall Street have businesses similar to middlemen, such as the well-known McKinsey Consulting Company, Boston Consulting Company, PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting Company and so on.

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

These companies all have sound financial licenses, and their liabilities are less than US$100 million.

Quickly flipping through the information provided by the middle-aged salesman in front of him, Locke said casually:
"There must be no omissions in the information you provided, and I want you to review it again to confirm that there are no problems, especially undiscovered debts or lawsuits.

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

As middlemen, these consulting companies are similar in nature to the black intermediaries rumored on Dongguo Online in his previous life.

Tang Wei didn't expect that Locke would make such a request, and he didn't even pay him, which is too outrageous.

Unexpectedly, after being stunned for a while, the middle-aged salesman Robert smiled and said:
"Sir, I can agree to your request. I guarantee that I can get the bosses of these companies to stand in front of you within two hours. The price must be suitable, but I need some cooperation from you..."

This reaction made Tang Wei a little dumbfounded, and the other party actually agreed to some outrageous conditions in her opinion.

As for the other request, it is not difficult, just to say that the reason why Locke chose to buy it is because he was strongly recommended by Robert.

What Locke is going to buy is a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy. Those who failed to invest and even owed debts would like someone to invest in them, or even sell the company directly, without having to continue to bear the pressure of running the company.

At this time, these consulting companies, as intermediaries, naturally have to charge favor fees.

Tang Wei's surprise at this time was only because he didn't understand the rules.

To be honest, Tang Wei couldn't figure out why Locke had to buy a financial company that was about to go bankrupt instead of a financial company that was operating well.

As for the cost of middlemen.

Everyone wants to transfer the debt to someone else, and exchange some money for the worthless company?
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 those who are willing to take over.

So even if the salesman asks the other party 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 saw Locke's young and immature face, and guessed that he didn't know the rich second generation who came out to start a business. He also thought that if he didn't know the rules, he could take advantage of the situation and make more money.

But now that Locke's performance is obviously like a knowledgeable one, he can only turn his target to these guys who are eager to sell the company.

Not to mention the most prodigal thing in the world is the rich second generation starting a business. Almost everyone wants to make a fortune from these rich second generations.

In fact, Locke did this to save time. If he started a new company by himself, it would take a lot of time and effort just to apply for various types of licenses.

If you don't have enough contacts, you need to spend a lot of money to get a license quickly.

Sometimes the funds needed to spend even exceed the cost of purchasing a ready-made financial company with complete procedures on the condition of assuming debts.

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

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

After some conversation, Locke has acted like a rich man, and his own dressing style is enough to make people believe this.

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

That's who she is now, and that's what she's doing 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 the seat belt, he stretched out his hands and rubbed some sore heels, and asked:
"What happened just now, why did they agree to your terms, and you actually said that debts of less than 100 million US dollars can be borne."

"This is all for investment needs. After all, it is not so easy to obtain a registered investment advisor license approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and there are many procedures to go through.

By acquiring a company directly, I can provide investment advisory services directly to investors.

In other words, it is justifiable to absorb people's funds for investment, and it is also cost-effective to bear limited debts for this purpose. "

"Well, it seems that you have made up your mind to become a vampire on Wall Street." Tang Wei himself 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 enough, because I can lead them to make money." Locke said with great confidence.

"Aha, it's a good idea, but if anyone can make money by investing, there won't be so many poor people in this world."

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

Of course, Locke knows that the investment and wealth management industry is very difficult, 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 trend in this world is the same as in his previous life, that is to say, he can know which companies have development potential and what to invest in to make money.

"Okay, you don't have to worry. After the company is in hand, you can be my assistant with peace of mind." Locke was in a good mood, with a relaxed tone:
"At that time, you only need to send me the information and convey the order. When you graduate, I can give you [-]% stock options. Just relying on the dividends will make you a millionaire."

"Millionaire?!" Tang Wei rolled his eyes at Locke: "I just want to pray that the company won't go bankrupt and liquidated. It's better to pay me more wages."

"You really don't think about it?"

After Locke said this, Tang Wei shook his head without hesitation.

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

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

"Then follow the previous agreement, the half-year internship period, the basic salary of 150 US dollars a week, the basic salary of 350 US dollars after the internship period, and bonuses according to industry regulations." Locke said.

"No problem, let's do it like this." Seeing that Locke hadn't moved, Tang Wei said, "Now let's go to lunch. I ate a piece of bread in the morning. I'm so hungry."

What else can Locke say, start the car, drive skillfully into the traffic, and set the goal as a Sichuan restaurant with good taste.
