Chapter 1140: Expensive DS3
They entered a sports park equipped with various fitness equipment, as well as soccer and basketball fields. Many young people were working out. Surrounding the park were terraced stands. Xiao Peng and Li Yawen sat on the steps, eating sandwiches. Many others sat there to relax or watch the game. Others used the empty stands to skateboard, ride BMX bikes, and other similar activities.
Xiao Peng said: "Westerners generally like sports, so you can often see these kinds of sports parks."
Li Yawen said: "We have a lot of them in our country."
"I know, but hasn't the space been taken up by square dancers?" Xiao Peng said, "That's not the case here. Exercise is for exercise. Of course, square dancing is exercise, but don't take up the court. Can't you give the young people some space? I'm also frustrated by some of the elderly. How can a good thing be turned into a social problem?"
Li Yawen said, "Xiao Peng, I understand you haven't been back to China for a long time, right? How do you know about the square dance issue?"
Xiao Peng said, "I have a Citroën DS3. You know this car, right?"
Li Yawen nodded and said, "What a coincidence! I also drive this car in the country."
Xiao Peng said: "I got a DS3 when I was in France and shipped it back to China. Now my friend is driving it secretly. Shao Feng! I'm talking about you! Don't touch my car!" When he said the latter part, he pointed at the camera viciously.
Li Yawen didn't know how to respond after hearing this. The Citroën DS3 had been discontinued for a long time. Even if it was considered a "high-end" car at the time, its landing price was only more than 200,000 yuan. You bought one of these cars and brought it back to China... It really doesn't suit your billionaire status. Even if you don't value cars, you wouldn't do it to this extent, right?
Xiao Peng continued, "You know, I have a museum in China. It has an underground parking lot and a parking lot at the entrance. Usually, elderly people come there to square dance at night. One night, my buddy stayed in the museum all night. The next day, he got up to go to a meeting at the Cultural Relics Bureau. As a result, his car had no power at all when he started. After getting out and inspecting the car, he was almost furious. The car had been scratched dozens of times with sharp objects, and a steel wool was stuffed into the exhaust pipe. My buddy called the police directly. After checking the surveillance footage, it turned out to be the group of elderly people who danced square dance at night. When we found them, they were still making excuses, saying that my buddy didn't know how to park and that the parking position affected their dance formation!"
Li Yawen was stunned after hearing this, then sighed: "Luckily, the DS3 is not expensive to repair. If the car is fully painted with original paint, 5,000 yuan is enough."
Xiao Peng was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Li Yawen said, "I don't think the damage was very expensive, and it's not a major case. Those elderly people have had it tough. They've worked hard all their lives and finally have a break, but they can't find a place to pursue their hobby of dancing. It's understandable that they might do something foolish. If they compensate for the financial losses, then we shouldn't hold them legally responsible."
Xiao Peng said, "That's what I did, but they refused to compensate me. They accused me of blackmail."
Li Yawen was confused after hearing this: "How much compensation do you want them to pay?"
Xiao Peng said directly: "Less than 180,000 euros, equivalent to 1.4 million RMB."
"How much?" Li Yawen exclaimed after hearing this: "Did I hear it right?"
Xiao Peng took a bite of the sandwich and said calmly, "You heard right. This is the discount Citroën gave me."
"How much does it cost to buy a DS3!" Li Yawen said in surprise.
Xiao Peng asked, "Is my DS3 the same as yours? Mine is the car that French driver Sébastien Loeb won his penultimate WRC World Championship with his signature on it! Even without his signature, the cost of that car starts at 3 million euros! Much more expensive than a Koenigsegg! Plus, it's a one-of-a-kind championship car. Do you think the price I'm asking for is too high? Let me put it this way, my customs declaration, tax, and insurance are all calculated based on a price of 5 million euros! I'm just being kind and didn't ask for an engine replacement! Otherwise, their compensation would be close to 10 million! Li Yawen, do you think I'm asking for too much? Then will you compensate them?"
Li Yawen smiled awkwardly and kept silent - in fact, she saw many people on the Mother-Visiting Forum saying that Xiao Peng, a billionaire, was arguing with some elderly people and making all kinds of sarcastic remarks, but now everyone has shut up.
Xiao Peng took a sip of juice and continued, "And this has nothing to do with the price of the car. I respect the elderly. I was raised by my grandfather, but when we respect the elderly, we respect their character, not their age! Their actions are crimes! Just because they're old, they can be exempted from legal responsibility? Just because they're old, they can evade punishment and avoid compensation? Then why not just amend the law so that people over 60 can commit crimes without any consequences! There's nothing wrong with being tolerant and kind, but we also need to be tolerant and kind to the criminals? Isn't that just encouraging crime in disguise? Those of you who say you need to be 'tolerant', you really have a flawed outlook on life! How confused do you have to be to say such things?"
After hearing this, Li Yawen could only smile awkwardly and eat her sandwich without saying anything, because Xiao Peng was undoubtedly talking about her as well.
She also fell into deep thought: Xiao Peng is right, a crime is a crime! This is an indisputable fact! Not to mention such a high amount!
She was still trying to figure out what the netizens would say on the screen, but someone suddenly asked, "Excuse me, are you from Daxia?"
Xiao Peng and the other man turned around at the same time. There were two girls standing next to them. From the way they spoke, they knew they were from the same compatriots.
"Yeah!" Li Yawen said with a smile, "You can tell by the way they talk. What's going on?"
A girl with short yellow hair glanced at Xiao Peng and asked Li Yawen, "Are you UP hosts from domestic video websites? Are you recording videos here?"
Li Yawen was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "I guess so."
After she finished speaking, she turned to Xiao Peng and whispered, "They really don't know you?"
Xiao Peng explained quietly, "There are only two types of students studying abroad: those who only care about books, and those who only care about luxury goods. Which one do you think would watch live broadcasts or the news? At most, they'd just know my name."
The short-haired girl saw the two of them whispering to each other and asked, "Are you a couple?"
"We?" Xiao Peng and Li Yawen waved their hands together.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "No, no, no, we are not really a couple. To be precise, we just met today. You can think of me as her tour guide here!"
Hearing this, the short-haired girl laughed and stretched out her hand to Li Yawen: "My name is Gu Pingping, what's your name?"
Li Yawen was completely confused. Wasn't this supposed to be for Xiao Peng? How did it become for her?
"My name is Li Yawen, what can I do for you?"
After hearing this, Gu Pingping asked, "Li Yawen, do you have a boyfriend? Have you seen my friend? The tall one who plays basketball. How about I introduce you to each other?"
"puff!"
