Chapter 1144 Information from Lloyd
Gu Tingting poked Li Yawen: "Miss, who is that?"
Li Yawen replied weakly, "His name is Xiao Peng, and he's known as the 'Salvage King.'"
"The Salvage King?" Gu Tingting's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Is he the billionaire who made his fortune by salvaging sunken ships?"
"Yes, it's him!" said Li Yawen.
Gu Tingting rolled her eyes and said to Li Yawen, "Miss, I won't accompany you for now."
Li Yawen ignored her completely. She was completely confused. She felt like she had gotten into trouble...
I just said a few extra words, why did you have to be like this? You turned on me in public and stopped the live broadcast. I have to take the blame for this!
She now seemed to have seen her own ending: this time when she returned to China, she would just sit on the bench for the rest of her life.
So many people were vying for the opportunity to come here, but you can imagine how many people were jealous of you when you stood out. I don’t know how many people were waiting to laugh at you, and now they got what they wanted!
What should I do? Lin Weizhi's expression was not right.
At this time, her cell phone rang. She gasped when she saw the number. This was the station's phone number!
This time it’s really over!
At this time, Xiao Peng and Walter were walking towards his car when they were suddenly stopped by someone: "Mr. Xiao! Mr. Xiao!"
Xiao Peng looked back and saw that it was the girl named Gu Tingting and the other girl running towards him while calling her.
He opened the car door and got in the passenger seat: "Walter, what are you doing standing there? Drive!"
Walter was still waiting at the car door. When he heard Xiao Peng's words, he got into the car, started the car and drove away!
Gu Tingting and the others were completely dumbfounded. How could this man be like this? How ungentlemanly!
Shit, why didn't I recognize him as Xiao Peng? If I had known it was him, I would have gotten closer to him! This salvage king has become a legend. I'm afraid he doesn't even know how much money he has, but I know it's a lot... If I cling to someone like that, my future life will be like a dream.
She is so regretful now!
At this time in the car, Walter asked: "Boss, where are we going next? Going straight home?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "No, go to the Dutch Parliament Palace. Also, have Khedira contact Lloyd's Insurance Company in the UK. Have them send the information over as soon as possible."
Walter looked excited: “Boss, are we going to salvage the sunken ship again?”
"You're such a smart kid!" Xiao Peng said, "Please keep an eye on me these days. Don't bother me! I won't see any guests for a week!"
After hearing this, Walter nodded and said, “No problem!”
Why did he go to the Palace of the Parliament in The Hague? Not to attend the parliament, but to visit the most beautiful library in the world: the Library of the Parliament in The Hague.
This library is quite interesting. While its exterior appears Renaissance, its interior is heavily influenced by the Great Western Empire. The railings and carvings reveal a strong Great Western influence. It perfectly embodies the term "East meets West" in Europe.
This library was built in the late 19th century. Since there were no electric lights at the time, people had to use candles and kerosene lamps to read in it. In order to reduce the hidden dangers, the top of the entire library was a glass dome.
This is the library with the most ancient books in the entire Netherlands. In fact, this library is only open on weekends from the end of August to the end of September, but Xiao Peng got special permission from William to come here on weekdays. Since he is looking for Viking shipwrecks, of course he wants to consult as many ancient books as possible.
And why did he go to Lloyd's Insurance Company?
People in China may not be familiar with this insurance company, but Lloyd's is currently the most reputable, well-known, most financially sound, and most profitable insurance company in the entire world. Daxia has the so-called "Big Five," but in reality, these "Big Five" combined are nothing compared to Lloyd's...
There are two reasons for this. The first is that Lloyd's Insurance Company is too old. Edward Lloyd founded this insurance company in 1688. The second reason is that the organizational form of this company is too special. It does not belong to an individual and is different from an ordinary joint-stock company, but a corporate consortium.
They have more than 6,000 business-connected insurers worldwide, belonging to 430 insurance organizations, basically integrating all the insurance companies on the planet. Lloyd's Insurance Company has now become a "big union" composed of many self-financing individual insurers and investors, and is known as the "insurance aircraft carrier."
In fact, Fabian almost joined Lloyd's Insurance Company as an individual investor.
Becoming an individual investor at Lloyd's Insurance Company wasn't difficult at first; all it required was proof of £100,000 in assets and a collateralized mortgage. However, it was also quite challenging. First, the company's review process was rigorous, examining the investor's financial resources, social status, and other factors. Even if they passed, there was a crucial point, and it was this point that prevented Fabian from becoming an individual investor at Lloyd's: they stipulated that each investor must contribute their entire personal assets to the insurance premium, until every last button was covered. This meant that once an investor became an investor, they couldn't leave. So Fabian simply gave up on the idea.
Another interesting thing about Lloyd's Insurance Company is that they are the most powerful insurance company in the world, but they never get involved in the life insurance business. In addition to life insurance, they insure everything, including pianists' fingers, Jennifer Lopez's buttocks...
There is nothing they dare not guarantee, except what you can't think of.
What information did Xiao Peng want from them?
Lloyd's Insurance Company attaches the most importance to ship insurance. Their earliest business is ship insurance. Currently, one out of every three ocean-going ships sailing on the world's oceans is insured by Lloyd's Insurance Company, including the "Luna", which is insured by Lloyd's Insurance Company.
At that time, Xiao Peng had visited Lloyd's headquarters in London. The three-story building looked like a train station. Inside was a small room, the kind used for insurance negotiations. A man in a red robe, still using a megaphone, called insurance brokers into the small room to discuss business, just like centuries ago. All transactions were conducted in person, without the need for a lawyer to notarize them. Once the agreement was reached, they simply signed and the deal was done. The insurance process for a ship as large as the Luna took no more than five minutes...
What information did Xiao Peng want from them?
They have records of all the ships that were wrecked and insured by Lloyd's Insurance from 1688 to the present, and this is the information Xiao Peng wants.
