"Sheldon recently told me that there is an interesting idea, which is to build a database of scientific research funds." Page said to Rock:

"In most cases, donors donate at will, which has led to many people who need scientific research funds not knowing that this donation can be applied for, resulting in delays or even abandonment of projects due to lack of funds.

If a scientific research funding database can be established, the funds can be maximized."

"It seems that Sheldon is still a little unwilling to accept it." Rock said with a smile.

"That's it." Page said, "So when he told me this idea, he said he was taking me to make money, but I think it's just a reward he owes me. What do you think?"

"It's very simple to use the Internet," Locke said. "It does have some value. If you are interested, you can invest. I can lend you my team of lawyers and managers to you."

"We have invested together, how much do we need? 50%?" Page asked with a smile.

"It seems that you are far from becoming a black-hearted capitalist." Locke said: "If it were someone else, it wouldn't be surprising that you would even kick Sheldon away directly."

"You guessed it's really accurate. The principal gave Sheldon the condition that the school accounts for 90%. "Page said: "I didn't care much about how much I could earn, so there was no need to go too far."

"It's not difficult to understand that the school also bullies Sheldon as a child." Locke shrugged: "Even the hiring professors can get 25%.

In the highly commercialized United States, universities are also a business.

The university not only uses its reputation as scientists to accept large amounts of donations, but also clearly states that 75% of any ideas during the appointment period belong to the university!

When Locke saw it in the Big Bang Theory, his first feeling was that this was really a super overbearing clause.

"But no matter how you don't care about money, you must at least ensure the holding, so it's better to occupy 60% in advance, and then look at the investment in the later stage." Locke said:

"It's not a short time for Internet-related companies to see profits."

Locke doesn't care about a small database business, and Page just thinks it's fun. I guess when the project is completed, she will probably not be interested in giving it to Locke.

In Locke's view, it is absolutely impossible for any commercial project to allow Sheldon to have any business rights. Once he is given a controlling stake, he will not help but point fingers. This is definitely a disaster, so he asked to occupy 60%.

"Just do it like this." Rock finally concluded: "I will arrange someone to contact you to sign a contract with Sheldon's parents."

"Aren't you going to come out in person?" Page asked.

"I will have to go to Europe in two days, and the big business there is." Locke said.

"I thought I could work with you." Page was a little disappointed.

"There will be a chance in the future." Locke said with a smile: "And you don't need to care about these things more. Doing more scientific research is a serious matter."

Four days later, Locke flew to England, and this time he was doing a private jet of the Youying family, with Deborah Youying and him.

Deborah, who was sitting on the plane at this time, was obviously in a good mood:

"Everyone knows the news in Europe. When you took out a loan, you mentioned this is the big business. Such a blatant opportunity to rob a certain country is not so easy to encounter.

It seems that the money I invested in you will make more money in the end than I thought. How did you do it, so early to make sure that things will happen."

"No one knows that things will happen. I just read some possibility through various information and then bet, it's that simple." Locke said lightly: "Just simply bet on the future."

"It seems you won in the end."

"We won together." Rock raised his glass and signaled Deborah.

"Then celebrate the victory!"

The two of them touched the wine glasses and happily drank the wine in the glass.

"So what are you going to invest next?" Deborah put down her glass and asked: "Although I don't know the specific numbers, I believe you must have earned a lot of money that my grandfather envies."

"My investment direction has never been a secret." Locke shrugged: "Banks, high-tech and media, with this money, we naturally need to expand our investment in this area, and we can also pay off the previous loans first."

"I don't think the bank will mind you borrowing more time," Deborah said.

"It is true that you should take risks when it is time to take risks, but in normal times, I still don't want to operate capital to the extreme." Locke said: "Because that means that once a problem occurs, there is no room for maneuver."

"You are indeed a smart person." Deborah Yuying nodded: "Do you have any suggestions? Or when I get my money, I will buy all the shares of Wells Fargo?"

When Deborah actually wanted shares of Wells Fargo, Locke felt that she was planning to rely on her.

Even without its own influence, this investment will bring considerable returns in the future. It is indeed a very cost-effective investment, and Locke has no reason to stop it.

If Deborah could recognize her position, it would be fine. The key is that the beauty in front of her is obviously not a sloppy person, and she can represent not only the tens of millions of dollars she invested.

"If you want to cooperate..." Locke considered it for a while and said, "You can invest more in Disney shares. I am constantly acquiring Time Warner shares, and we still have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

"You are sure you are a partner but not a competitor," Deborah Youying said with a smile: "And there are tens of millions of dollars, but you can't get much equity in Disney."

"This is a long-term cooperation, and I can't hold a large media group like Time Warner in a short period of time." Locke said:

"If you can help me get more Wells Fargo shares, at least 5%, I can accept an investment of $8 million, which is the investment project I control in Sky Fund, but I don't ask about the investment direction."

"Twenty million US dollars, I can help you get 8% of Wells Fargo shares," said Deborah Yuying.

"Too much, up to $12 million, and the shareholders I've contacted cannot be counted."

...

After a bargaining, the two finally reached an agreement. Deborah helped Rock acquire 8% of Wells Fargo's equity, and Rock would give her a $15 million investment amount.

Afterwards, Locke calculated in his mind that if he was really successful, he would be able to obtain more than 38% of Wells Fargo's equity by the end of the year and could already achieve relative control.

This will be of great benefit to Locke's future capital turnover in the United States and even globally. How much profit will Deborah have in his pockets? It is not his final say.
