Chapter 77 Go get a driver's license

Ivan and the others stayed with Xiao Peng for a short time before leaving. He had come because he and Pascal had a collection to hand over. Having witnessed Xiao Peng flipping a car, he had come to meet him, but since their social status was quite different, it was just a brief acquaintance.

But he did become interested in Xiao Peng.

It’s not because of Xiao Peng’s extraordinary strength, but because of Xiao Peng’s neither humble nor arrogant attitude towards him!

Many people would say they 'despise money,' but when they meet someone wealthy, they subconsciously defer to them; it's human nature. However, Xiao Peng didn't behave that way, which Ivan found rather novel.

If Ivan knew he was thinking this, he would definitely give him the middle finger: Am I inferior to you? Buddy, you're overthinking it! Have you ever seen Octopus Man?

Xiao Peng did not tell the two that he had salvaged a box of jewelry.

He is now in a dilemma.

If these jewels were to be unveiled, they would surely attract widespread attention. However, Xiao Peng was unable to explain how he had managed to retrieve them from such a deep ocean without deep-sea diving equipment or salvaging equipment. He didn't want to expose his secret, so he had to make preparations first.

As soon as he saw them off, the phone rang.

"Fabian, what's going on?" Xiao Peng answered the phone.

"Xiao, are you home?" Fabian asked.

Xiao Peng said: "I'm at home, but I have to go to Marseille. What's going on?"

Fabian hesitated for a long time before saying, "Xiao, the association told me to inform you not to forget to do your job as an observer!"

Xiao Peng frowned. "Didn't Old Alan get his head cut open and is lying in the hospital? Has he been discharged?"

Fabian shook his head and said, "He's still in the hospital. His son Richard has to go back to work, and they've asked the association to make you an observer!"

Xiao Peng cursed outright, "He's my grandson, and I'm spoiling him like this? What kind of people are they? His dad got himself in trouble, so why doesn't he just stay and accompany his dad on the sea? Whoever wants to go can go, but I'm not going! I've got some serious stuff to do!"

Fabian asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Peng said: "I want to take the driver's license test!"

Fabian nodded and said, "That's serious business! But didn't you say you have a driver's license from your country? Can't you just exchange it?"

Xiao Peng cursed out loud, "That's exactly what I thought, but it's been over two years and I still haven't renewed my license! I'm impressed by how efficient you French people are! I'd rather get another license!"

French and Chinese driver's licenses can be exchanged. That is to say, if you hold a Chinese driver's license, you can go to the traffic management office with your driver's license, translation, passport, visa and other documents to exchange it for a French driver's license.

It sounds great, but when it comes to actual operation, everyone is dumbfounded!

The traffic control office's official website does allow appointments within three months, but no matter what time it is, all appointments are fully booked. French civil servants are incredibly efficient! Xiao Peng wanted to exchange his driver's license when he first arrived in Marseille two years ago, but to this day, he still hasn't been able to get an appointment!

But he was pleased: he wasn't the one with the longest appointment! Mrs. Derrida still hasn't exchanged her German license for a French one. Since the license exchange agreement between the two countries was implemented over three years ago, no one has ever successfully exchanged a Chinese license for a French one!

It is always much faster to get a driver's license here than to renew it, so Xiao Peng decided to take the test now. Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to take the bus everywhere!

Fabian thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a phone number. His name is Hubert. I'll call him and tell him you can learn how to drive."

Xiao Peng hummed, "Thanks!"

Fabian said, "Just focus on getting your driver's license first. I'll push the association observer thing off for you!"

"Okay, Fabian, I owe you a favor. Wait until I show you my driver's license and I'll treat you to a meal!" Xiao Peng chatted with Fabian for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

He said he was going to learn how to drive, but his real purpose was not to get a driver's license, but to find Daniel.

"Are you crazy?" Daniel was sitting at the counter of his diving equipment store. He jumped up when he heard what Xiao Peng said.

Xiao Peng said calmly: "Why am I crazy? Daniel, I am your customer, and the customer is God!"

Daniel touched Xiao Peng's head and said, "You want to buy an Exosuit? Are you crazy?"

Xiao Peng blinked: "So, do you want to make money from this?"

"Make money! If you don't, you're a grandson!" Daniel said without thinking: "I can help you contact Canada, but you need to sign an agreement with me."

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "That's as it should be! Let's sign the agreement quickly!"

Daniel stared at Xiao Peng for a long time, and after making sure that he was not joking, he shook his head: "You really are a lunatic!"

The reason he was so shocked was because what Xiao Peng wanted to buy was an Exosuit diving suit! One of the most advanced and high-performance diving suits in the world!

This diving suit is a high-performance diving suit developed by a Canadian marine equipment manufacturer, and its appearance is very similar to that of a space suit.

The entire diving suit is constructed entirely of aluminum alloy and carbide. Its built-in ADS atmospheric diving system (ADS) ensures the internal pressure is consistent with that on the surface, preventing decompression sickness. A built-in camera transmits audio, video, and related data. Mechanical claws of varying sizes allow the diver to work underwater. Its unique ventilation system allows divers to remain underwater for over 50 hours!

The most impressive thing about this diving suit is its ability to withstand pressure! Its safe diving depth is approximately 330 meters! It's one of the deepest personal diving suits in the world, nicknamed the "human submarine"!

This diving suit is so advanced, but also so expensive! The market price of an Exosuit is around 600,000! It's the same price Xiao Peng paid for the "Red Head Boat"! And you have to go to Canada to order it!

France does have this kind of Exosuit diving suit, but they are all bought by scientific research institutions for deep-sea scientific research. It is unprecedented for an individual user like Xiao Peng to purchase it!

After signing the purchasing agreement with Daniel, Xiao Peng contacted Yu Beier again to sort out the driver's license issue during this period.

The French driver's license is similar to the Chinese one, with a theoretical test followed by a road test. However, unlike the Chinese one, which has two, three, and four subjects, there is only one hour and a half of practical road test. The driving school offers several packages for students to choose from, and Xiao Peng chose the 'PA Package'.

The so-called 'PA Package' is a fast-track license-getting package that involves four weeks of intensive training followed by an exam. If all goes well, you can get your license in just one month!

This package is also more expensive! Starting from 2,000 euros!

Xiao Peng, who was wealthy, chose this package, and Daniel could get the Exosuit diving suit in about a month.

After a few days, Xiao Peng discovered a serious problem:

Well, this money is wasted!
