Chapter 1029 No Live Broadcast Today

Xiao Peng stood at the side of the boat, breathing in the sea breeze with enjoyment.

"Brother Xiao, what are you doing?" Chen Zetao walked over with a champagne glass.

Xiao Peng sighed, "I always thought I'd spent enough time at sea, but after traveling around Africa, I discovered that being at sea is bliss!"

Ilka brought Xiao Peng a glass of champagne. Xiao Peng took it and said to Ilka, "I told you to rest! If you're seasick, don't run around here! Aren't you just causing more trouble?"

Ilka, like Cambu, was also very seasick. He was just a little better, though. Cambu vomited as soon as he got on the boat, while Ilka didn't until after he was out at sea. Even with seasickness pills, he still felt uncomfortable. Actually, Xiao Peng didn't want them to follow him, but the two of them, fearing Xiao Peng would abandon them, insisted on following him, willingly enduring the pain rather than leaving the boat...

Xiao Peng was also helpless about this and could only keep them on the boat: If you want to suffer, it’s up to you.

Chen Zetao asked in confusion: "Brother Xiao, we have already arrived at the location, why don't we start the salvage work?"

Xiao Peng laughed and said, "It's all in the pot, why are you in such a hurry to lift the lid?"

Chen Zetao said helplessly: "But the audience in your live broadcast room have been waiting for too long!"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng said, "I'm thinking this live broadcast might get me into trouble."

"What trouble?" Chen Zetao asked puzzledly.

Xiao Peng sighed and said, "I was afraid the Spaniards would cheat again, so I originally wanted to do it secretly, but you ended up doing a live broadcast. I'm going to be frank, if there's any trouble, you'll be the one to solve it for me."

Essentially, the most valuable shipwrecks on the planet come from a few countries: Spain, Britain, Portugal, the Netherlands, France, and so on. These countries have all enacted laws regarding shipwrecks. While these laws are essentially their own, because they involve national interests, national laws often prevail in the end.

Just like the Odyssey Company, after it had finally salvaged the sunken ship, it was surrounded by Spanish warships and the spoils were snatched away. The two sides fought a lawsuit for many years, but in the end, the Odyssey Company lost the case.

No one would have the nerve to lose face in the face of such wealth, especially since the ship they salvaged was the "Queen's gift." If the Spanish knew about this, they would surely be worried.

Chen Zetao smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if we file a lawsuit, it will be domestic. Our country will not tolerate their bad behavior!"

"Really?" Xiao Peng looked skeptical. "You want to destroy the relationship between countries just for me? Do you think I'll believe that?"

Chen Zetao said, "It depends on the specific situation. To be precise, this isn't about you alone, but about what you're doing. Our country is now beginning to develop towards the ocean, and there will undoubtedly be many more such incidents in the future. We can't set a bad precedent. Also, don't overthink inter-country trade. The trade volume between us and these countries is in the billions, affecting countless jobs. Just like how trade between us and the Americans, no matter how shady things get, won't completely stagnate. To be precise, they can't stop even if they want to. Isn't Australia an example? We can cut off trade with them, but how can they cut off ours? Can tearing up the Belt and Road cooperation agreement solve their domestic problems? The stability of a country's leader ultimately depends on the economy. If the economy fails, it's strange he can be re-elected. Then the new leader will come to power and put things right... There are so many such cases! Just broadcast it without hesitation!"

Xiao Peng stretched himself and said, "Even so, I won't fish today!"

"Why?" Chen Zetao was confused.

Xiao Peng said, "There's not enough time to finish the work. Everyone, eat and drink well today and get enough energy. We'll start work early tomorrow morning!"

Chen Zetao was a little embarrassed after hearing this: "But the live broadcast announcement said it was today, and many people are waiting."

Xiao Peng stretched and said, "It's been a while since we last aired, so I'm a little nervous. Let them wait another day."

"Then at least tell us!" Chen Zetao said, "The live streaming website has already promoted it."

Xiao Peng said, "It's not me who asked them to promote it. Brother Chen, don't take it so seriously. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I'll ask Lao Liu to prepare some delicious dishes so we can have a nice drink tonight."

Chen Zetao sighed, "I'm going to make you mad sooner or later. Forget it, let's do this. I'll call them and tell them there's a technical malfunction. Um... yeah, the satellite signal is bad, that's what I'm saying! Look at you, you've made me look like a liar! The key is that there are big shots back home waiting for you to discover it!"

He was talking about Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zhao.

Xiao Peng said seriously, "Salvaging a sunken ship is a major undertaking, and we must be fully prepared. Good things take time, so let them wait a day. I'm also doing this for a better live broadcast effect!"

Chen Zetao looked helpless, but what could he say since Xiao Peng had said so? Put a knife to Xiao Peng's neck and let him broadcast live? That was unrealistic!

Well, call home yourself!

Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zhao certainly wouldn't sit in front of the computer to watch the live broadcast - they would directly project the live broadcast room images onto the big screen.

They pay special attention to Xiao Peng because every time he broadcasts live, there are great discoveries, which greatly helps to drive related domestic industries.

This 'related industry' does not refer to the deep-sea salvage industry, but the shipbuilding industry.

Which country has the most developed shipbuilding industry in the world? It's not Europe, with its traditionally strong shipbuilding industry. If we measure ship tonnage, the world's most developed shipbuilding industries are actually the three East Asian nations. Among them, Goryeo consistently holds the top spot.

But Daxia has a nickname: "Industry Destroyer." Regardless of the industry, if Daxia fully develops, it will "take the path of others and leave them with nowhere to go."

This is the case with the shipbuilding industry.

After China's technological innovation, it entered the shipbuilding industry in a high-profile manner. The shipbuilding industry of Daxia is deeply loved by users around the world because of its high quality, low price and first-class cost performance. Goryeo's position as "the world's number one" was snatched away by the people of Daxia.

Moreover, Daxia's shipbuilding industry achieved a miracle. During the global pandemic, the global shipbuilding industry suffered a devastating blow. Orders for shipyards worldwide plummeted. In Goryeo, the decline was as high as over 50%. However, only one country in the world saw an increase in orders: Daxia.

As Xiao Peng's fame grows, his "Calypso" can be regarded as an advertisement for the domestic shipbuilding industry, and now more and more shipbuilding orders are pouring into China.

"That guy isn't going to broadcast anymore?" Old Zhao stared, eyes widening as he held the phone. "Is there something wrong with the equipment? Isn't this guy trying to cheat again?"

Chen Zetao didn't know what to say while holding the phone.

You know Xiao Peng too well, don’t you?
