Chapter 110: Taking too big a step can easily cause injury
Xiao Peng finally understood that no matter how good the relationship was with these foreigners, their inherent bad habits could not be changed.
Fabian is a good friend, but the arrogance, casualness and romanticism of the French are ingrained in him!
Romance is not a positive word, but a combination of two negative words, "wave" and "slow"!
Xiao Peng must use his actions to tell him who is the boss of the cooperation! Such a problem has arisen at the beginning of the cooperation. What should he do in the future?
If you accept it, then accept it. If you don’t accept it, then just part ways.
Fabian was stunned when he heard what Xiao Peng said. He didn't expect the problem to be so serious.
Pascal glanced at Fabian and said, "Xiao, I'll go with you. I don't have the habit of celebrating Christmas anyway."
Xiao Peng shook his head: "I can go by myself! You should focus on promoting the jewelry!"
Pascal thought for a moment and said, "Xiao, there must be many people who want to see these jewels in person. How can I get them out of the bank vault if you leave? Actually, I wanted to tell you about this today. People from Nagoya have contacted me, and so have people from Christie's and Sotheby's, but I personally prefer Phillips to handle this matter."
The names he mentioned are all well-known auction houses. Christie's and Sotheby's are more famous, but in Europe, Germany's Nagel and France's Phillips are more well-known in the art world.
After learning that Xiao Peng intended to sell these jewels, several major auction houses expressed strong interest. However, they were anxiously awaiting the appraisal results. If there were no issues, they would all like to hold a "Mata Hari Jewelry Auction."
At present, it seems that both Christie's and Sotheby's are bullying customers and are unwilling to make concessions. This is what Pascal has been working on recently.
Xiao Peng waved his hand. "What are they going to do? Let them die! I don't have time to beat around the bush with them! Choosing which company is your business. Anyway, I've recharged myself enough these past few months, and it's time to start making money! They say you train your troops for a thousand days and deploy them for a single day, but here we are, aren't we training our troops for a thousand days and deploying them for a single day? Damn it! Fabian, I cherish our friendship! But we have a saying in Han that friends can't start a business together, otherwise, even the best relationship will be ruined! Instead of becoming enemies later, it's better to separate now. Don't worry, after the jewelry is sold, what belongs to you will still be yours. This is the reward you deserve for your efforts."
Fabian was stunned: "Xiao, are you serious?"
Xiao Peng asked Fabian, "Do you think I'm joking?"
Fabian was about to speak, but Xiao Peng stopped him with a wave of his hand. "For the past few months, I've been recharging my batteries at home, researching materials and learning various languages. I've been doing all this to prepare for future salvage operations. Pascal's been dealing with various experts every day to increase the value of these jewels. Even Moreau hasn't rested, still collecting information about the shipwreck. And what about you? 'Discoverer of Mata Hari's Lost Treasure' sounds pretty good, doesn't it? We're a company, and you don't know how to salvage or appraise jewelry. We asked you to be in charge of company operations and public relations, right? Instead, you brought me a bunch of idiots! I'm going to fire them, and you're still telling me to adapt to France? This is my company! You need to get used to working with me first!"
Xiao Peng grew angrier as he spoke. "What kind of company are we? A deep-sea salvage company! We found a sunken ship, and instead of actively preparing for the salvage operation, you're pouring cold water on us, saying this is difficult, that's difficult. If there are any difficulties, then forget about it! Why are we still doing deep-sea salvage? You've got the guts to think that celebrating Christmas is more important than making money! Fabian, you're welcome to come over for drinks and dinner. You're such a jerk, and I want you to work with me? I'm afraid I'll strangle you to death! Moro, give me the information you've compiled, and I'll go study it myself!"
His outburst startled Moro. He pointed at Xiao Peng's laptop and said, "Boss, I just copied everything to your computer!"
Xiao Peng picked up his laptop and went straight back to the room. Several people looked at each other. Moro took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect the boss to have such a bad temper."
Pascal, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. He walked aside with his phone and started talking business with someone using a communication app.
Fabian watched Xiao Peng return to his room. He pointed at his nose and asked Moro, "What did I say wrong? Why did he do this to me?"
Moreau spread his hands. "Fabian, my boss pays me, so I'll firmly tell you you're wrong! Besides, not all French people are like you say. I just want to make more money so my daughter can live a better life. I don't want to lose my job now. That's why I'm working even harder than before."
Fabian looked at Moreau speechless.
Moreau spread his hands. "Well, I have to pick up the kids from school. Pascal, I'm leaving now!"
Pascal waved his hand to indicate that he heard him and let him go first.
Fabian looked at Pascal, who shrugged. "You should handle your own affairs. I think Xiao is right. According to you, our company can't survive! It's better for us to separate sooner rather than later."
Fabian said angrily, "Can you blame me for this? This is France! Why are most deep-sea salvage companies family-owned? It's because it's so hard to hire people!"
"It's not impossible, it's too difficult." Pascal said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Fabian saw Pascal was about to leave and hurriedly grabbed Pascal: "What should I do?"
"What to do?" Pascal thought for a moment: "Either do nothing, or do as Xiao Peng says. Although I'm not very interested in salvaging, I'm interested in making money."
"But those crew members were introduced by friends in the diving association!" Fabian said, "This will have a bad impact on our family."
"No, it's not about our family, it's about you." Pascal shook his head. "Fabian, I understand you want to prove yourself in the family and show people you're better than your brothers and sisters, but I don't understand why you're so attached to the Diving Association. You're asking the association to help you solve the crew issue, isn't it just to gain their support and take over the Diving Association? Your position as a director of the Diving Association is your most important position!"
Fabian's eyes widened after hearing Pascal's words but he was speechless.
Pascal remained calm. "Just because I'm quiet doesn't mean I'm stupid. Your thoughts are no secret. Fabian, you're my cousin, and I understand you and I've been desperate to prove ourselves in Cape Adeg for so many years. But Xiao Peng said it best: 'Taking too big a step can easily lead to injury!' Hmm? Where are you going?"
Fabian walked out of Xiao Peng's house before he finished speaking.
After hearing what Pascal said, Fabian shouted without even turning his head: "I'm going to get all those lazy bastards out right now!"
