Chapter 46 It doesn’t matter whether you win the lawsuit or not

When Locke traveled through time in his previous life, many companies on Wall Street had actually moved out of Wall Street, and this name has become a symbol.

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

The United States seems to be filled with rich people, but in fact, even at the time Locke traveled through time, according to Forbes statistics, there were only five to six hundred people with wealth exceeding $100 million.

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

In addition, he does not seem to have much assets in his name, but relying on his charitable trusts, antiques, overseas wealth and other invisible assets, he is no less than a billionaire.

Overall, the total number of these rich people is only about 2,000 at most.

Now Locke is also one of these rich people. After the funds he received in Fuzhong Building were 'legally' transferred to his own name, he found a stock broker on Wall Street to manage it on his behalf.

The authority of this stock broker is very small, and Locke's consent is required for any small capital transfer, because Locke only needs an executor who will act according to his orders, not a promoter who tells him which stock to buy.

These professionals may have good professional qualities, but they would be fools to spend large sums of money to test their professional qualities.

It doesn't really matter whether the evidence is sufficient or whether you can win the case. The key is to completely discredit this guy who doesn't follow the rules.

The clerk didn't have any special look on her face. According to Locke's request, she very considerately recommended a suitable match to her.

Tang Wei is not the kind of girl who particularly likes shopping when she has nothing to do. Except for a brief infatuation with Locke when she first met Locke, she has been very restrained in facing these luxury goods most of the time.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Tang Wei posed a few times, walked a few more steps, and then nodded with satisfaction: "The pair of high heels I tried before had a seven-centimeter heel. I didn't feel comfortable with it, so I changed to this pair of five-centimeter heels."

centimeters.”

Coming out of the changing room, Tang Wei had changed into a white suit, black high-heeled shoes, and her long hair was tied up. She had a completely different temperament. She looked a bit like a smart and capable female white-collar worker.

Tang Wei wore a pink skirt today, which didn't match the blue top. The key is that it wasn't a famous brand.

Seeing Tang Wei choose for a long time, and finally chose a black handbag, Locke said to the clerk: "Wrap these up first, and then deliver them to your residence after trying them all on."

Locke couldn't understand it either, but that didn't stop him from supporting the woman's choice at this time.

In this money game, in his last life until the end, Locke was just a novice who could not even get started. But in this life, relying on information about future development trends, Locke became an investment genius in the eyes of others.

In order to avoid similar problems, Locke placed strict restrictions on the other party's authority when he first hired him, and also conducted regular inspections.

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. She never bought expensive luxuries.

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

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

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

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

In his previous life, Locke managed to change his destiny through hard work, but for most of his life he was just an ordinary person, which led to him being more inclined to choose discounted products when shopping.

Ordinary people do not have the capital or ability to try this, so they can only carefully guard their small amount of wealth, otherwise they will encounter a sudden crisis and accidentally fall into bankruptcy.

In one year, the capital of more than 400 million US dollars was doubled, and when Locke took Tang Wei out to go shopping, he didn't even think about the price tag when buying things.

It wasn't until funds gradually became abundant that I gradually began to feel that money is for spending. Instead of saving money, I began to think about how to generate more money with the funds on hand.

In such boutiques, not only the shopping experience of women is concerned, but also the men accompanying these women. After all, in most cases, these men are the ones who take out their wallets.

Many men can't understand why women like bags, so a few pieces of broken leather and some zippers can easily sell them at high prices. In the end, they can only lament that women make so much money.

These Wall Street guys are greedy enough and have a flexible moral bottom line. Locke is just expressing his attitude now to make people who work for him have more concerns in the future.

The price of each of these luxury goods is relatively affordable for the middle class. For example, a set of Dior women's clothing generally sells for between a few hundred to two thousand dollars, which is about the current monthly income of the middle class in the United States.

When checking his account in the past few days, Locke did not find that his stock broker had misappropriated funds for investment, but Martin Channing's enthusiasm for him at the banquet that day still let Locke know that his information must have been leaked.

.

After all, no one wants to hire a guy who leaks their own information to be their stockbroker.

The most indispensable thing on Fifth Avenue is various high-end brand stores, which can be said to be fiercely competitive.

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

After all, his official income as a writer has only been a few hundred thousand dollars in total, which is not enough for Martin Channing, who has a capital threshold of one million US dollars, to promote his own fund overtly and covertly.

"It doesn't matter, this is pretty good, just this set." Locke nodded and pointed to the shelf where the handbags were placed: "The next step is to choose a suitable bag."

Most of her more expensive clothes and jewelry were purchased by Locke on his own initiative, just like buying some formal clothes for Tang Wei this time to prepare for the next thing.

To be honest, Locke's image is different from what Tang Weiwei initially imagined.

She originally thought that Locke was a rich second generation, but it was not until later that she found out that he was actually an orphan. He grew up in an orphanage. She had no idea where he got so much money, but he spent it like water.

When I first paid for my tuition, I put $20,000 in a brown leather bag and threw it to myself, as if it was just paper.
