Chapter 1531 How about buying a plane?

After William and the others left, Xiao Peng held a rare press conference and made a public comment on recent events.

Of course, what they mainly said were some worthless nutritional words, such as "I believe this is the behavior of a minority of people, most Dutch people are relatively friendly", "It has happened, I hope everyone will learn to be tolerant", "Thank you for your support after this incident", "I believe the police will give the best handling result", "The friendship between the Chinese and Dutch people will last forever", and so on.

In a nutshell, let’s just forget about it now that it’s over!

At the same time, the Chinese Embassy in the Netherlands also issued a statement: Although it is regrettable that such an incident occurred, it is satisfied with the attitude of the Dutch side in handling the matter and hopes that similar incidents will be avoided in the future.

God knows how many conditions William and Hooker agreed to that day in order to satisfy Xiao Peng and Yangzhou and issue a statement. What happened next was that the Dutch media first reported extensively on Xiao Peng and Daxia's attitude, and then...

Let’s all shut up and downplay this matter!

We also have to have some shame, okay?

After the incident, when people were still thanking Xiao Peng for his magnanimity, Xiao Peng disappeared again - he had been picked up by a plane from the United States.

"Boss, this plane is too big!" Elsa pinched here and there while sitting on the plane seat. "Is this how all rich people play?"

The business jet they took was Vincent's private plane.

After Xiao Peng left the Luna, the ship continued on its route, arriving directly in Iceland. Vincent parted ways with the Luna there. His private plane had been waiting in Iceland for a long time. He was eager to take Khedira back to prepare for the WWE show. Every WWE show requires two people to prepare in advance, from moves to lines to expressions, and so on. Khedira, as a novice, needed to go there early to practice with John Cena.

After he returned, he sent his private plane directly to the Netherlands to prepare to welcome Xiao Peng to the United States.

Originally, Xiao Peng hadn't planned to go there early, but as a result of this incident, people were holding up signs apologizing at the entrance of Orange every day. He got annoyed by it, so he simply said he needed to relax and boarded Vincent's business jet to the United States.

This time he had intended to bring only Bruch and Van der Laupe: Walter and Kassin were to train the men of the 'Walter Legion'.

However, Walter said that there were only two people around Xiao Peng who were not suitable, so he selected two others to follow Xiao Peng, one was the black guy named Aisha, and the other was the girl named Kaiser.

Asking these two people to accompany Xiao Peng was a well-thought-out decision: first, it would make the other people in the 'Walter Legion' envious, and then they would work harder in the future; second, Elsa is black, and now in the American territory, if Xiao Peng doesn't have a black person by his side, people will inevitably associate him with race. Of course, even if he brings her along, there will be people who will gossip about her, but it's better than not bringing her along at all!

The most important thing is!

The most important thing is!

The most important thing is!

The two of them can play games with Xiao Peng - what kind of punk doesn't like to play games?

Xiao Peng was currently lying in bed playing video games with Kaiser. Hearing what Aisha had said, he said, "How big is that? Vincent has two private jets. This 19-seat Lineage 1000E is considered small. After all, his WWE business is huge, and sometimes he needs to transport a lot of company employees, so he also has a Boeing 737."

Bruch said, "So this plane is used to transport distinguished guests."

Aisha looked envious. "I've ridden in a private jet myself! I can brag about it to them when I get home. Boss, do you have a business jet like this?"

Xiao Peng sighed, "I only have two small Cessna planes, and they were completely destroyed by the flood. As for a business jet like this, I don't own one. I'm at sea all day, not in the sky, so why would I need one? But Fabian is considering buying one recently: he flies back and forth between European countries all day for the Salvage Alliance, so having a business jet is very convenient. As for me, I originally didn't think it was necessary, but now I suddenly want to buy one too. Don't be fooled by Vincent's big and strong appearance, which makes him look like a nouveau riche, but the interior design of this plane is really tasteful."

He wasn't exaggerating. The plane boasts five cabin areas, including a master bedroom with a two-person shower and two restrooms. The bar, restaurant, and passenger compartments are all fully equipped. The interior features 3D-carved leather reliefs and solid wood trim, leaning towards retro style, inspired by Western interior design styles from the past 20 or 30 years. The sheepskin leather sofas and mohair furniture create the feel of a "gentlemen's club" from a century ago.

Although the aircraft is decorated in a retro style, it is full of high-tech elements and is equipped with all basic appliances.

Xiao Peng asked Bruch, "Bruch, do you know how much this plane costs?"

Bruch was reading a book when he heard Xiao Peng say, "A basic plane costs about 60 million before taxes. With the luxury tax, it's probably a little over 70 million."

Elsa was amazed. Is this plane so expensive?

Xiao Peng was even more surprised by what he said: "So cheap? It's not even as cheap as the tax cut!"

Western taxation is said to favor the wealthy. While purchasing an airplane in the US is subject to a 10% luxury tax, the purchase itself is also tax-free. Given Xiao Peng's current financial resources, buying this airplane is a real money saver when you factor in the tax savings.

Bruch said, "Boss, if you want to buy it, I suggest you buy it in the United States. After all, the luxury tax here is relatively cheap, only 10%. If you buy it in Europe, it varies from country to country, but it can be as high as 30%."

After hearing this, Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "How about buying a new plane this time and flying it back to Europe?"

Bruch said, "Boss, if you buy a new plane now, you probably won't see it for at least a year. First, we have to look at their order situation. Second, the interiors here are all custom-made, which takes a lot of time."

"That's boring!" Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I just don't like waiting."

Van der Laupe came over and said, "Boss, the champagne is already chilled. Do you want some?"

"Drink it, and then go to sleep when you feel comfortable!" Xiao Peng said, "The doctor William found said that what I need most in my current state is rest!"

Bruch laughed and said, "Boss, now I know why those criminals say they have mental problems. Boss, you don't look like you have any problems at all!"

"Then I'll go to bed now!" Xiao Peng threw the game controller and said, "You guys should get some rest too. It's still early before we get to Houston!"
