Chapter 119 Little Sheldon’s Nightmare

Returning to New York after Christmas, Locke took the initiative to fire the deputy financial officer of Sky Fund and hired some new employees, most of whom were responsible for attracting investments across the United States.

The deputy financial officer is very capable and arrogant.

Seeing that Sky Fund Company is becoming more and more successful, they also received generous bonuses at the end of the year, but compared to the bonus dividends Bilock gave themselves, it is completely worth mentioning.

With jealousy, he felt that since Locke, a boy who had not graduated from college, could succeed, he could also do it with his own abilities.

Therefore, he began to attract clients privately, and even prepared to persuade Ms. Mora, as a manager, to join him and establish a fund company together.

The two contacted each other privately several times, and Ms. Mora was also somewhat interested, but in the end she refused due to some family reasons.

But the deputy financial officer did not give up and planned to encourage others to start a business together, but Locke noticed it.

After being fired, the other party quickly found a partner and started making preparations to establish a company.

Locke doesn't care much about this. There is no shortage of people in this world who think they are the children of destiny.

After he resigned, he quickly promoted a suitable person. Wall Street has no shortage of elites.

Locke is too lazy to spend energy to slap such a small person in the face. Watching others do it and doing it himself are two different things. After all, not everyone has a future perspective.

With Deborah's help, some of the antiques in the Trinity Church treasures, plus some of the company's shares she held, obtained a total of US$410 million in loans.

With this money, Locke obtained 8.6% of Wells Fargo's shares from Buffett, and the rest was used to continue investing in promising companies.

Such a loan has allowed Locke's asset-liability ratio in the United States to rise to an extremely high level.

He had to make a detailed plan for his assets in the United States, lest the funds in the United States for the pound crisis would not be enough to pay interest before the money was obtained.

After finishing all these things, there are only a few days before the start of school, and I still have to prepare for going to London.

After completing Dr. Gate's mathematics problem, Locke, Peggy and Little Sheldon were all qualified to follow Dr. Gate's team on academic exchanges at London and Cambridge universities.

There were eight people in the group, all sitting together, and Locke didn't do anything special, insisting on upgrading business class to first class.

After spending more than ten hours on the plane, when they arrived at London Heathrow Airport, it was still 7 a.m. London time. The group quickly met the reception staff of Cambridge University and led them to the reserved hotel for check-in.

This academic exchange will last for more than half a month, and the exchange group is not dominated by Locke and the other three, so they will have more free time.

He thought it would be better to take the opportunity to wander around the UK and treat it as a tourist.

Since you want to play everywhere, you naturally need to have a car first, which shouldn’t be too bad.

When it comes to buying a car, I don’t know if there are any 4S stores these days. Fortunately, you can just ask the hotel directly for such trivial matters. Many high-end hotels have their own channels.

After giving the instructions, Locke went back to his room to rest and catch off the jet lag. At noon, he and Peggy came to the restaurant.

He ordered a Spanish seafood meal. As for the legendary dark English cuisine, he just thought about it.

Just after returning to the room, the hotel service staff came and knocked on the door: "Sir, the Aston Martin you want happens to be sold in a store. The price is about 7,000 pounds. Would you like to go and take a look now?"

Locke nodded: "Ask me if the other party accepts checks from UBS. I am willing to pay US dollars according to the exchange rate."

Several offshore companies overseas have some business cooperation with UBS. He also has some spare money in his personal account at UBS, which is enough to buy cars.

"This should be no problem." Upon hearing that it was a U.S. dollar check from UBS, the waiter knew there would be no problem and immediately bowed and left.

About forty minutes later, the hotel front desk called and said that someone from the sales store had arrived with the car.

Locke came to the hotel lobby and saw the car salesman. The salesman introduced the situation of the car and was willing to help complete various procedures. He only needed to pay a little more service fee.

I tried the car and felt there was nothing wrong with it, so I decided on the spot.

In order to welcome Dr. Gate and his party, Cambridge University will have a dinner in the evening, but it is still early, so Locke simply took out the travel information provided by the hotel and some news about recent entertainment activities.

As a result, when he turned to a promotional photo of a fashion show, Locke was slightly startled: "Isn't this the long-legged Vanessa from the New York robbery? How come she came to Europe to be a model for a fashion show."

After looking at the date of the fashion show, Locke contacted the hotel a few days later and said he wanted a ticket for the fashion show. The other party said there was no problem.

It was originally the cooperation between the event organizer and the hotel that promoted the fashion show in the hotel to attract qualified customers, so within an hour, a waiter delivered the tickets, which were still in the VIP area.

Locke wasn't actually that interested in activities like fashion shows, but now that he saw someone he knew, he wanted to find out if this was Vanessa.

Dr. Gate is well-known in the mathematics community, otherwise he would not have been invited to Cambridge University for academic exchanges. The welcome dinner for Dr. Gate was also held grandly.

In addition to senior officials and professors from Cambridge University, many local London upper-class people also attended.

Because of the large number of people, the dinner was still held in the form of a buffet. After the President of Cambridge University made a speech, he invited Dr. Gate to speak and introduced the team members, and the dinner officially started.

Locke was now familiar with such a dinner party, and he pulled Peggy to talk to the guests here with ease.

A genius at Peggy's age has attracted the curiosity of some people. Fortunately, she is used to it and behaves very appropriately around Locke.

The unexpected one was Sheldon, as expected. When he was chatting with a couple, he mocked the other person's Ph.D. in archeology, and then got a panda eye.

Of course, it couldn't have been this couple who did it, but this couple's twelve-year-old daughter. Because she couldn't stand little Sheldon's rude words to her parents, she punched him.

When Locke heard the noise and rushed over, little Sheldon covered his eyes and looked at the girl opposite him. His mind began to recall unconsciously the time when he was nine years old in high school and was chased by a girl three years younger than him. .

In order to avoid the little girl next door, little Sheldon once wanted to let the school bus driver park closer to his door in exchange for helping the school bus driver file his taxes.

This can effectively reduce the chance that girls who are always playing nearby will find you, and you can hide in your house faster.

Unfortunately, the school bus driver didn't like Little Sheldon who kept nagging in his ears that he should maintain discipline on the school bus. He refused Little Sheldon's request on the grounds of school regulations.

Therefore, every time little Sheldon gets out of the car, he needs to carefully detect the surrounding environment, hiding here and there like a thief, for fear of being blocked by the little girl who may appear outside the house.

It can be said that the figure of the six-year-old girl has always been a nightmare deep in the heart of little Sheldon.

At this moment, the figure of the little girl in his memory has overlapped with the figure of the girl who was glaring at him with lingering anger. Little Sheldon was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. He no longer laughed at the righteousness of the archeology PhD couple in front of him.

When Locke rushed over, he saw the doctor and his wife trying to persuade their daughter:

"Laura, using violence is not the behavior a lady should do. Please apologize to the other person quickly."
