71% of the Earth's surface is surrounded by oceans, and within these vast oceans, at least three million sunken ships lie quietly at the bottom, waiting to be discovered!

Chapter 1157 Hahn is here
It's said that Russians are not afraid of the cold, but this is actually a misunderstanding. How can anyone in this world be so cold-resistant? Russians have a saying: "There's no bad weather, only bad equipment." They rely on various cold-resistant gear to survive the winter.
The most famous of these is the 'Ushanka', also known as the ear-flap hat, also known as the 'Soviet army cap'.
This type of hat has been tested during World War II. The two leather ear flaps on both sides of the hat cover the ears to prevent frostbite. If the weather is not so cold, the two ear flaps can be turned over to the top of the hat and tied together.
Although this kind of hat may seem a bit "rustic" for a long time, fashion is a cycle that goes on for decades, and you never know when it will become popular again.
But Xiao Peng doesn't care about "fashion" at all, as long as he keeps warm.
He took the 'Ushanka', put it on his head and lowered the two ear flaps. Phew, he felt warm instantly.
"Anything else?" Khedira looked envious.
Kasin pulled out two more from his bag like magic and handed one to Khedira: "That's called being prepared. No one in the world knows how to survive the winter better than us Russians!"
The three people stood beside the railway tracks, attracting countless envious glances.
Xiao Peng suddenly felt his whole body burning with heat, and all the chillness flew away.
This warmth does not simply come from "Ushanka", but a big reason is the "sense of happiness". Others are shivering with cold while I am fully equipped. This is happiness.
"Boss, should we continue waiting here?" Khedira asked.
Xiao Peng asked in return: "What do you think?"
"I suggest we find a way to get out of here." Khedira took out his cell phone: "Damn, no signal!"
Xiao Peng frowned slightly: "I didn't bring a satellite phone either...huh?"
He suddenly saw several people pushing bicycles.
You can see bicycles everywhere in the Netherlands, and it is normal to see bicycles on subways and trains.
"Bicycle?" Xiao Peng blinked and said, "I have an idea. What do you think?"
"Boss, you have the final say!" said Khedira.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Alright then, leave it to me!"
After he finished speaking, he ran over to the young men pushing bicycles and muttered a few words. Not long after, he waved to Khedira and Kassin and said, "One bike each, let's go."
In front of him were three cross-country mountain bikes.
Khedira got on his bike and asked, "Boss, they gave you their bike so readily?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "99% of the problems in this world can be solved with money, and the remaining 1% requires more money to solve."
Kasin leaned on his bicycle and said, "Khedira, your question is also stupid. The boss must have offered those young players an offer they couldn't refuse. Boss, how much did you give them?"
Xiao Peng rode away on his bicycle. When he heard Kaxin's question, he raised his thumb and pinky finger and said, "I don't have much cash. I bought it for 6,000 yuan in total."
After hearing this, Kaxin was shocked and said, "It's not expensive! Selling it right away?"
His sigh was not without reason. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to find low-end bicycles under 1,000 euros in Europe - they are all sold out.
During the global epidemic, as the epidemic in Europe eased, countries began to lift the blockade, but because of the epidemic, they were concerned about public transportation. In the end, many people chose to buy bicycles, not to mention the "bicycle kingdom" of the Netherlands.
Due to the surge in bicycle sales, countries like Italy and the UK saw a more than tenfold increase, with some seeing a 22-fold increase. Many bicycles were unavailable, forcing manufacturers to work overtime to fill orders one or two months later. This also led many bicycle suppliers to raise prices, with comparable bikes costing over €1,000, yet the market remained booming.
For example, the three bicycles Xiao Peng bought cost about 1,300 euros each, and all three cost about 4,000 euros. At that time, Xiao Peng bought three bicycles for 6,000 euros, which was really not a lot of money.
Xiao Peng said, "Actually, I said I'd give them 50,000! I even took out my checkbook, but they said they didn't want checks, only cash. The total cash I had was only a little over 6,000, so I gave it all to them."
"Why don't they want checks?" Kasim asked puzzled.
Khedira laughed and said, "They probably thought the boss was a scammer! There are so many people involved in check fraud these days. With the way the boss is dressed, they probably don't believe he can write a check for $50,000."
Xiao Peng said helplessly: "So I'm being despised, right?"
"It should be!" said Khedira.
Kasin suddenly said, "Huh? Boss, is this a bicycle from your country?"
"Is that weird?" Xiao Peng said disdainfully. "Let me tell you this: 70% of bicycles in Europe are made in China! Even the remaining European brands are either OEMs or sourced from China. We might be choked by the West with other technologies, but when it comes to production? 'World Manufacturing Factory' isn't just a boast! Let me hit you again. This bicycle is our country's 'Phoenix' bicycle. You can buy it in our country for less than 500 euros. Okay, enough about this. Where should we go now?"
Kasin said, "Shouldn't we just keep walking along the subway line?"
Xiao Peng said, "Stupid! If someone really wanted to catch us, wouldn't they know to track us along the railway?"
Kasin said arrogantly: "If they dare to come, I will shoot them one by one!"
Khedira said, "Shut up! What if they had rifles? Do you think this is a TV show where a pistol can fight a submachine gun?"
Kasin said helplessly: "Then what should we do?"
Khedira said to Xiao Peng, "Boss, I noticed on the subway just now that we passed the Wings World Hotel. If I'm not mistaken, I should be about ten kilometers northwest of Dornkite. Once we get there, we can find a car to go back to The Hague!"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Let's do it! Fortunately, this is a mountain bike, otherwise it would be really difficult to ride here."
Three people were riding bicycles in bad weather. After riding for a few kilometers, they suddenly heard the sound of an engine. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw two Mercedes-Benz SUVs rushing towards them at high speed in the distance.
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned and then stopped the car.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Khedira asked.
Xiao Peng frowned: "Jasper Hahn."
After hearing what Xiao Peng said, Khedira and Kassin threw their bicycles aside and took out their guns to protect Xiao Peng.
Two SUVs stopped in front of Xiao Peng one after another, and a total of seven people got out of the cars. The one in the front was the "pilot" Hahn.
"Mr. Xiao, you seem quite cheerful. Cycling in such terrible weather?" Hahn smiled at Xiao Peng. "You'd better have your bodyguards put down their guns. I know they're very skilled, but do you think the people I bring with me could be any worse?"
After he finished speaking, the six people behind him took out their guns and pointed them at Xiao Peng and the others.
