Society owes me a brother

On Saturday evening, the setting sun did not set, and the magnificent afterglow shrouded the Locke Manor in early spring. The river that had just melted from the ice and snow flowed through, sparkling under the setting sun, like a string of translucent crimson agates.

The car slowly drove into the hollow carved iron gate, bypassed the musical fountain playing Mozart's "Symphony No. 40", and slowly stopped at the entrance of the villa.

Brother and sister Matthew and several other young people from the Locke family stood on the steps.Seeing Lu Chi and the others open the door and get off the car, the Matthew brothers and sisters smiled and immediately walked down the steps.

"Good evening." Matthew Locke opened his arms and gently embraced Lu Chi and Yue Bin.Zhang Yang passed Matthew Locke and walked directly in front of Angel, holding the back of her hand and kissing lightly with a smile.

Seeing this, Angel took a big step forward with a charming smile, and gave a face-to-face gift directly.Then he hugged Zhang Yang's arm, tilted his head and asked Lu Chi with a smile: "I heard that you and the Smith family don't know each other?"

Lu Chi: "..."

Matthew Locke shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said with a smile: "I have long said that Wall Street is a place without secrets."

In particular, such a major event as "the Smith family shook hands with a financial genius" has attracted even more attention at this juncture.

Lu Chi frowned slightly, and saw Matthew Locke approaching him, hugging his shoulders with a pair of good brothers, and slapped his chest with the other elbow, and said with a wicked smile: "I heard Eric Weiss has set up a new high-yield department within the investment company, and everyone says that this department is dedicated to 'eating' big players—”

Before he finished speaking, someone beside him suddenly interjected, "Look who's here?"

Wearing a black haute couture suit, Tang Senluoke, who had his hair polished and shiny, strode up to Lu Chi with a playful look, and cleared his throat with a little sarcasm, in a way that people can't help but listen to Aria frowning, said slowly: "It turns out to be the hottest financial genius on Wall Street. What should I say?"

Tang Senluoke chuckled, bowed slightly in a very gentlemanly manner, and stepped aside: "Your arrival has made the Locke Manor flourish?"

The originally bustling entrance of the villa gradually quieted down. The guests who were greeting each other were chatting decently with smiles while keeping their ears open to pay attention to the movement here.

Matthew Locke frowned, and warned, "Tang Sen, Lu is a special guest invited by my father and also a good friend of mine."

Tang Senluo hooked the corners of his mouth, with an impeccable aristocratic smile on his face, and said politely: "Mr. Lu is naturally a distinguished guest of the Luo family."

Tang Senluoke glanced at Lu Chi, changed the topic, and asked abruptly: "Mr. Lu's talent in the financial field is well known. It just so happens that I am also very interested in investment and personal financial management recently. How many stocks can you recommend for me, sir?"

After a pause, Tang Senluoke said with a meaningful smile: "If Mr. Lu recommends it well, maybe I will open an account with Eric & Lu Assets in the future."

Is this treating Lu Chi as a stockbroker?

Yue Bin smiled instead of anger: "Does Mr. Locke like to listen to opera?"

Tangsen Locke puffed out his chest quite reservedly: "The Locke family owns a theater of their own on Broadway. In fact, it has always been the tradition of the Locke family to appreciate beautiful operas."

"No wonder Mr. Locke can even speak in such a cadence." Yue Bin nodded with a smile, and sighed as if admiring: "We have a saying in China that speaking is better than singing. It seems to be very suitable for Mr. Locke's current state."

Matthew Locke, who is very familiar with Chinese culture, couldn't help but laugh.

Even if Tang Senluoke didn't understand Chinese, he could tell that Yue Bin's words were not good.His face suddenly darkened, and he sneered, "Mr. Yue doesn't seem to know how to be a guest."

"We have an idiom in Huaxia called "Guests feel like home." Yue Bin said with a smile: "It means that treating the host's home as his own is the highest praise for the host."

Matthew Locke immediately said, "You are all my best friends. Locke Manor is your home."

Tang Senluoke glanced coldly at his cousin who was always against him.Matthew Locke stared back unwillingly.Seeing this situation, the children of the Locke family who had become friends with Tangsen Locke immediately came up to smooth things over: "It's getting late, please invite the guests in quickly. Didn't Matthew say that Mr. Lu is a distinguished guest invited by the patriarch himself. Perhaps We're all waiting."

In front of all the guests hosted by the Locke family, the words of this Locke family member were obviously sowing discord.Matthew Locke couldn't bear it anymore, and subconsciously pushed the man: "What the hell are you trying to do?"

Even though he was well prepared, the boy was still staggered by Matthew Locke.He took two steps back, adjusted the collar of his suit subconsciously, and said with a playful smile, "I didn't want to do anything. But, Matthew, would you be too rude in front of all the guests?"

"It's the patriarch who spoiled you." Tang Senrock frowned, and commented with his elder brother's superior posture: "Matthew, your words and deeds are really bad. I think even the patriarch will be angry if he sees it. .”

Matthew Locke snorted coldly: "Father doesn't mind this kind of thing. He will only praise me for doing a good job and maintaining the dignity of the guests invited by the Locke family."

Tang Senluo smiled and shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "You say that as if I offend the dignity of the customer, but in fact I just did what an investment client would do."

When he said this, he suddenly turned to Lu Chi, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Speaking of which, doesn't Mr. Lu want to attract more client resources for his investment company?"

"As long as you answer well, I can also introduce my friends to go there together."

Matthew Locke was furious when he heard this sentence: "You——"

"I think the shares of Locke Group have great potential." Before Matthew Locke broke out, Lu Chi interrupted his friend's swearing.His attitude was extremely calm, as if he didn't notice Tang Sen's disgusting provocation: "Actually, for investors like Mr. Tang Sen who are not very keen on investment talent, I have always been more inclined to recommend you some strong, developing investors. An industrial company with good potential."

Tang Senluo's face changed, and Matthew Locke suddenly thought of Lu Chi's evaluation of Tang Senluo as a "financial idiot", and touched his nose with a smile.

The guests who have been watching secretly are also full of strange faces.In fact, ever since seeing the undisguised hostility of Townson Locke and Matthew Locke at the entrance of the villa, everyone has been thinking about it—everyone knows that the Locke family is not so harmonious and happy inside—in fact, many Families will have this kind of trouble.But most of the time, people don't show this kind of infighting.

So the interaction between Matthew Locke and Townsend Rock at the gate of the villa is really thought-provoking.Not to mention that the most popular investment genius on Wall Street recently was involved.

However, Lu Chi did not pay attention to this undercurrent atmosphere. He read out the names of a few stocks at his fingertips, and analyzed calmly: "The industrial companies represented by these stocks have devoted themselves to the development of electronic products in the past two years. Business industrial companies. In my personal opinion, with the increasing popularity of the Internet on a global scale, the business model of industry + Internet will become more and more common. Similarly, there will be more and more financial Investors began to pay attention to this new concept of combining industries with the Internet. Compared with the concept stocks that caused the Internet bubble in previous years, this new concept stock is different in that these stocks are indeed based on good real industries. So as long as it works well, there will be great potential for appreciation..."

To be able to receive an invitation to a banquet from the Locke family, the guests must be all important figures in the business world of country M.Some people benefited a lot from Lu Chi's words.Even if the other group of people didn't take it seriously, because they heard some small rumors that "Old Mr. Locke and some Wall Street tycoons have favored Lu Chi", they still couldn't make Lu Chi's bad luck at the banquet of the Locke family.

Only Tang Senluoke has long made up his mind to destroy Lu Chi's prestige.Hearing these words, he immediately smiled and said, "Since Mr. Lu is convincing, then I will just listen to it. I will call my stockbroker and ask him to buy Mr. Lu as soon as the market opens tomorrow morning." The recommended stocks. If these stocks really go up, then I have faith in my word and will definitely open a new account with Eric & Lu Assets—”

"This matter is absolutely unnecessary." Tang Senluoke's words were suddenly interrupted.

Everyone followed the sound and turned around, only to see a few more cars parked at the gate of the villa.Eric Weiss, another partner of Eric & Lu Asset Management, stood not far away with his girlfriend on his arm, smiling and nodding to everyone.

Noticing Tang Sen's scrutiny, Eric Weiss came over with his female companion on his arm, and said with a smile: "I know that Lu has to recommend a few stocks to you because of Matthew's face. But this does not mean that Mr. Tang Sen Eligible to open a new account with Eric & Lu Assets—You probably don’t know that recently, due to the soaring return on investment of Eric & Lu Assets, there are too many customers who want to open an account with the company. But The company has just undergone a merger and reorganization, and the personnel and scale have just stabilized. In a short period of time, we have no energy for a new round of expansion. Therefore, in order to better protect the interests of customers, the company has no choice but to increase customer The barriers to entry—I think Mr. Smith has a deep understanding of this.”

Having said this, Eric Weiss nodded to Howard Smith, who had just arrived at the Rock Manor, and waved at Roll Smith Jr. very friendly, and continued: "Mr. Townsend, as the middle management of the Locke Group, Or, I still have a general understanding of your annual income. To be honest, based on your capital flow, it has not reached the VIP customer access threshold of Eric & Lu Assets. I think Mr. Tang Sen will not quit. Instead of your current stockbroker, choose Eric & Lu Assets' ordinary account instead?"

Eric Weiss, who can be called a domineering and arrogant upstart face, almost made Townsend Rock pale with anger.He stood where he was, unable to maintain the pretentious aristocratic etiquette anymore, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he glanced sullenly at Eric Weiss.However, the rich and powerful Mr. Billionaire didn't take it seriously at all. He passed Tangsen Rock and walked to Lu Chi. Shi Shiran nodded: "My partner, you can never imagine that the high-yield department we just established How popular it is."

Lu Chi: "..."

Eric Weiss hugged Lu Chi's shoulders with a smile, showing a naked appearance, and was overwhelmed by Lu Chi's talent. : "Ah, my dear Lu, your talent will shine on the whole Wall Street..."

He stopped a waiter at the entrance of the villa, took a glass of wine from the tray and handed it to Lu Chi, and said with a smile: "To my cutest partner, I wish money never sleeps."

The old Locke patriarch standing in the middle of the hall and several other bigwigs smiled knowingly when they saw this.At the same time, raising the wine glass in his hand, Qi Qi said: "Eric is right, respecting money never sleeps."
