Chapter 119 Little Sheldon's Nightmare

Returning to New York after Christmas, Locke dismissed the deputy financial officer of Sky Fund and recruited some new employees, most of whom were responsible for attracting investment from all over the United States.

The deputy financial officer is very capable and arrogant.

Seeing that Sky Fund is becoming more and more successful, they also received generous bonuses at the end of the year, but compared to the bonus dividends offered by Locke, it is completely worthless.

With jealousy, he felt that since Locke, a boy who has not yet graduated from college, can succeed, he can also do it with his own ability.

Therefore, he began to solicit clients in private, and even prepared to persuade Ms. Mora, who is a manager, to work with him to create a fund company together.

The two had contacted several times in private, and Ms. Mora was also interested, but finally refused due to some family reasons.

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

After being fired, the other party quickly found a partner and began to prepare for the establishment of the company.

Locke didn't care too much about this. There was never a shortage of guys in this world who thought they were the Son of Destiny.

After the dismissal, he quickly promoted a suitable person, and there is no shortage of elites on Wall Street.

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

Some of the antiques in the treasures of the Trinity Church, together with the shares of some companies held by itself, with the help of Deborah, obtained a total of 1000 million US dollars in loans.

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

Such a loan has caused 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 would not be enough to pay interest before the money from the British pound crisis came.

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

After completing Dr. Getter's math problem, Locke, Peggy and Shelton Jr. were all qualified to follow Dr. Getter's team and go to London and Cambridge University for academic exchanges.

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

After spending more than ten hours on the plane, when they arrived at London Heathrow Airport, it was still [-]:[-] in the morning of London time. The group quickly met the reception staff of Cambridge University, who led them to the scheduled hotel for check-in.

This academic exchange will last more than half a month, and the exchange group is not dominated by the three of Locke, and there will be more free time.

He thinks it's better to take the opportunity to go around the UK and treat it as a tourist.

Since you want to play around, you must have a car first, and it can't be too bad.

When I go out to buy a car, I don’t know if there is a [-]S store these days. Fortunately, I can directly ask the hotel for such trivial matters, and many high-end hotels have their own channels.

After finishing his orders, Locke went back to his room to rest to beat the jet lag, and at noon, he and Peggy came to the restaurant.

He ordered a Spanish seafood meal, and as for the legendary English dark cuisine, just think about it.

Just after returning to the room, the hotel service staff knocked on the door: "Sir, the Aston Martin you want happens to be sold in a store, and the price is around [-] pounds. Would you like to go and see it now?"

Locke nodded: "Help me ask the other party if they accept UBS's check. I am willing to pay in US dollars according to the exchange rate."

Several offshore companies overseas cooperate with UBS for some business. He also has some spare money in his private account with UBS, which is enough to buy a car and spend money.

"It should be no problem." As soon as he heard that it was a US dollar check from UBS, the waiter knew that there would be no problem, and immediately bowed and left.

About four or 10 minutes later, the front desk of the hotel called and said that the people from the sales store had come with the car.

When Locke came to the hotel lobby, he saw the car salesman, who introduced the situation of the car, and was willing to help complete various procedures, as long as he paid a little more service fee.

After trying the car, I felt that there was no problem, so I settled down 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, Locke simply took out the travel information provided by the hotel and the news of some recent entertainment activities.

As a result, when he turned to a promotional photo of a fashion show, Locke was slightly taken aback: "Isn't this the long-legged Vanessa who was robbed in New York back then? Why did she come to Europe and become a model for a fashion show?"

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

Originally, it was the cooperation between the event party and the hotel that the publicity of the fashion show was placed in the hotel to attract qualified customers, so within an hour, a waiter delivered the tickets, and they were still in the VIP area.

In fact, Locke is not very interested in activities such as fashion shows, but since he saw an acquaintance, he also wants to find out whether this is Vanessa.

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

In addition to high-level executives and professors from Cambridge University, many local high-ranking people from London also participated.

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

Locke is now familiar with this kind of dinner, and he dragged Peggy to chat with the guests here with ease.

A genius of Peggy's age has also attracted the curiosity of some people, but fortunately she is used to it and behaves very decently around Locke.

Unexpectedly, it was Sheldon who, while chatting with a couple, sneered at the other party's doctorate in archaeology, and then got a panda eye.

Of course, it couldn't be the couple who did it, but the 12-year-old daughter of the couple, because she couldn't stand the young Sheldon's rude words to her parents, so she punched her directly.

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

In order to avoid the little girl next door, Little Sheldon once wanted to help the school bus driver file taxes as a condition, so that the school bus driver would stop closer to his door.

This can effectively reduce the chances of girls who are always playing nearby find themselves, and can hide in their own houses faster.

It's a pity that the school bus driver didn't take much notice of Little Sheldon, who kept whispering in his ear, saying that he should maintain school bus discipline, and rejected Little Sheldon's request on the grounds of school regulations.

Therefore, every time Little Sheldon got out of the car, he needed to carefully investigate the surrounding environment, hiding like a thief, for fear of being blocked by a little girl who might appear outside the house.

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

At this moment, the figure of the little girl in the memory has overlapped with the figure of the girl staring at him with lingering anger in front of him, so scared that little Sheldon dared not breathe, and he no longer had the righteousness to ridicule the archeology doctor couple in front of him just now.

When Locke rushed over, he saw this couple of doctors persuading their daughter:
"Laura, using violence is not what a lady should do. You should hurry up and apologize to the other party."
