Chapter 1090: Children's Songs
Xiao Peng finally returned to Villa Eikenhorst.
Pascal and Fabian were not surprised by Xiao Peng's return. Fabian sat on the sofa and waved at Xiao Peng, "Why did you come back so late?"
Xiao Peng said, "Why else? The helicopter can't just fly back directly. It needs to land first and then drive. By the way, Fabian, can you help me contact the party service company? I'm having a party the day after tomorrow."
"Party?" Fabian was stunned. "You want to throw a party? Do you want to find Dutch beauties or do you want me to find them from France? Who will be the hostess? Whose drinks will be served? What kind of decoration and music style will be used?"
Xiao Peng answered seriously, "Music? Mainly children's songs, and the style should also be amusement park style."
"Amusement park?" Fabian was confused. "Are you going to learn some special flavors from Pascal?"
"Get lost!" Xiao Peng scolded with a smile, "I'm going to invite a bunch of kids over to play, my little fans. Oh, and remember to build a go-kart track in the park."
"What the hell?" Fabian's eyes widened. "That's impossible! Even moving a blade of grass here requires approval from the relevant authorities. You want to build a go-kart track here? You're dreaming!"
What he said was not an exaggeration. Villa Eikenhorst had a huge lawn and garden, but the lawn renovation here needed to be approved by a special cultural relic protection unit, and then carried out by people sent by their authorized gardening company.
Xiao Peng turned to look at William: "William, now I understand why you gave me this house! This is simply too much trouble!"
If William hadn't been so well-mannered, he'd have nearly sworn, "Can you please have some dignity? This is Villa Eikenhorst! For centuries, it's been the home of the Dutch royal family! Why do you think I gave you this house? Isn't it because I want you to stay in the Netherlands? And now, not only do you not appreciate it, you're even complaining about it!"
Seeing that William didn't say anything, Xiao Peng continued to make things difficult for William: "William, this house is mine, does that mean the land is mine too? Can I tear down this house and build a new one?"
William asked with a forced smile, "What do you think?"
Xiao Peng sighed and said, "It seems that it won't work!"
William said helplessly, "Xiao, I just don't understand. Don't you believe in 'one step back, the sky is wide open'? I just gave you a few words of advice, but you made us look like enemies. Is it really that serious?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said with a playful smile, "I'm not going to quit yet? My company has closed down, and I still won't quit? Then what do you want me to do? Should I slash myself in the stomach like the Japanese?"
"Are you backing off?" William complained. "You're clearly going head-on! I never realized you were such a stubborn person. Don't you consider the pros and cons when doing things? You're pushing yourself and others into a desperate situation."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng put away his playful smile and said to William in a serious tone, "William, why have I worked so hard in the past few years? Isn't it so that I can decide my own life? Who likes to make concessions? Who wants to live a life of frustration? Why should I retreat no matter how difficult it is for me to move forward? If I were still struggling for food and clothing, then I could only choose to give in, but why should I retreat now? Since you make me unhappy? Then I won't play anymore! You guys play by yourselves! William, you still want to persuade me? Then I advise you not to waste your energy. I have decided that after I have entertained these children, I will leave the Netherlands. Oh, I will return this house to you. You should be able to see that I really despise this house!"
"Is this your final attitude?" William was a little unwilling to give up.
"That's right, William." Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "William, I actually miss the days we spent together in France. Back then, you were just a cute, shabby old man in my eyes. You also know the relationship between Abby and I, so no matter what, I should respect you. We should be good friends. But what happened? We have become such an awkward relationship now. Have you ever thought about why?"
William was silent for a moment, then suddenly nodded. "No one has the right to dictate other people's lives or choices. I shouldn't have advised you."
Xiao Peng's attitude improved after hearing this. "William, you're definitely an old hand. You definitely know where the problem lies. It's just that you don't want to admit it. You're standing in opposition to me on this matter. I really don't understand why you're doing this."
After hearing this, William sighed and said, “Xiao, can we talk alone?”
Xiao Peng pointed at Fabian and Pascal and said, "Do you think I would hide something from them?"
Fabian raised his hand after hearing this. "Let me interrupt, Xiao, don't try to fool us with your nice words now. We're still confused as to why you're going to the South Atlantic Anomaly!"
"Shut up!" Xiao Peng said, "What am I going to do there? Of course I'm going to look for a shipwreck! I'm going to find a shipwreck that can change world history!"
"Did you find it?" Pascal asked.
"Failed!" Xiao Peng replied unhappily.
Fabian said, "Pascal, you asked an idiotic question! William is here, so how can Xiao Peng answer you directly? This is a trade secret!"
Pascal said, "Our company has been dissolved and we are all idle. What business secrets do we have?"
William was helpless. "Alright, alright. Can you guys stop bullying me? Xiao, let me be honest with you. There's been a lot of arguing within the EU lately! Since cooperating with you, the economies of Germany and the Netherlands have been very strong, as have the employment issues and even the capital markets."
Fabian interrupted, "The capital market is performing strongly? The moment the news of our company's dissolution broke, the Tri-State Salvage Alliance's stock plummeted. Those investors must be getting anxious, right?"
William looked a little embarrassed and continued, "These shareholders are too anxious. The Three States Salvage Alliance has always performed well... Well, everyone knows that the Three States Salvage Alliance is profitable now because of Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng's dissolution of the company will have a huge impact on the Three States Salvage Alliance! And now, not only Germany and the Netherlands, but also France, Portugal, Spain, and the five Nordic countries all want to join in and get a piece of the action."
Fabian asked in confusion: "If that's the case, why are you targeting us?"
William said helplessly: "But the disadvantages of doing so are also obvious. It is likely to cause the price of precious metals to fall."
Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "William, can we be honest? Even if I can get a hundred tons of gold right now, someone will come to grab it! If the price of precious metals plummets so easily, then they are not precious metals anymore!"
William looked at Xiao Peng for a long time, and finally sighed: "Okay, I admit that this is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is: Xiao Peng's background... After all, he is not European!"
