Chapter 1239 I want to surprise the Dutch people
After returning home, Xiao Peng didn't rush to do anything, but took a comfortable hot bath first. Although there was a bathroom in the snow cabin, but how could Xiao Peng's small bathtub be as comfortable as the one here?
I have to say that William knows how to enjoy himself. Lying in this fully automatic massage large bathtub feels almost like lying in a swimming pool. Four or five people can soak in it together without any problem. The huge LCD screen, surround sound system, and the surrounding lights make it a real pleasure to watch a movie while lying down.
Xiao Peng was still enjoying the bath when there was a knock on the door.
"Alfred, what's the matter?" Xiao Peng asked after lowering the volume.
The only person who could knock on the door while he was taking a shower was Alfred.
Alfred shouted, "Boss, your friend Mr. Karl is here."
Xiao Peng was stunned. "How did he know I was back? Did Jelena tell him? That's not right. Didn't Jelena go to Daxia with Brother Chen?"
It has to be said that Chen Zetao really has a way. The relationship between him and Jelena has always been quite tense. In order to ease the relationship, Chen Zetao came up with a clever plan. He used the excuse that "relaxing would help Kiki's mental illness" and proposed to take Kiki to Daxia, which is far away from Europe, for a trip. Now Xiao Peng gave all the crew members a holiday - Jelena was theoretically also a "crew member" on vacation, so Chen Zetao took Jelena, Ilka and Kiki to Daxia.
Alfred said, "I don't know either. I asked him to wait for you in the living room."
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Alright, I got it! I'll go down right away!"
Well, there’s no need to take this bath!
Xiao Peng came out of the bathtub reluctantly, took a shower, put on his bathrobe and walked out.
Karl saw Xiao Peng and smiled, "You came out like this? Aren't you cold?"
Xiao Peng said, "I just came back from Germany. My resistance to freezing has improved a lot. I've found several design companies to renovate the interior of my house without changing the exterior. They're all working on plans now. Once I choose one, I'll renovate the house next year. Otherwise, it'll be uninhabitable! But I'm afraid I won't live here permanently."
"Why?" Carl asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng said, "Transportation is too inconvenient. The ship can't stop and there's no airport. Every time I come back, I have to take the subway, which wastes too much time!"
"That's right, this place is too far from your ship!" said Carl.
Xiao Peng asked his doubts: "Karl, how did you know I returned to The Hague? I came back suddenly and not many people knew about it!"
Carl laughed and said, "Why not just read the news? There's news everywhere you go. As soon as you left Germany, all the news there was about you, about saving people on the snowy mountain. BMW even released a commercial about it, shot like a documentary, promoting BMW ski equipment."
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines. Albrecht would not miss such a publicity opportunity.
Carl continued, "As for how I knew you were back in The Hague? It's even simpler! Just follow the pet lovers' forum! As soon as you got off the plane in Rotterdam, the forum would announce your arrival."
"..." Xiao Peng pointed at the door and said, "Did you see outside? That toad is lying on the back of my foot - it doesn't bite, but it's disgusting! You say they're causing trouble, that's fine, I still have a reason to deal with them, but they're just lining up there, not blocking the door or disturbing anyone, I can't even bring myself to beat them up."
Carl laughed and said, "Do you think these animal rights activists are really fools? They may protest, but they won't put themselves in danger. Your leopards and caracals are legally registered and comply with the law. They know this, so they can only express their dissatisfaction in this way."
"What are they dissatisfied with?" Xiao Peng said angrily. "There are so many people raising leopards in the Netherlands, why don't they go and protest to others?"
Carl said, "Others aren't as rich or famous as you, they just have pink eye. If I were you, I'd just build a zoo and piss them off to death!"
"Huh? What did you say?" Xiao Peng was stunned.
Carl said, "I said they have pink eye."
"No, the latter sentence!" Xiao Peng said.
Karl was stunned: "The last sentence? Build an animal museum?"
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers: "That's it!"
Carl was anxious: "Damn it, Brother Xiao, don't be silly. Do you know how much it costs to build a zoo? Of course, money is not a problem for you, but do you want to open Villa Eikenhorst to the public? This is impossible! In previous years, no one could enter here except on King's Day! Even dignitaries had to make a reservation to come here. This has been the residence of members of the Dutch royal family for hundreds of years and it has great significance to the Dutch people. Didn't you see that the people who came here to protest were very orderly? They were also afraid of causing public outrage if they went too far! It would be impossible for you to make a profit if you built a zoo, and then you would offend even more animal lovers. If you raise a few leopards and so many people are angry, what if you have a private zoo that is not open to the public? By then, the number of protesters around your house will probably be more than the number of visitors to Disneyland Paris!"
Xiao Peng said, "So what? I'm not breaking the law anyway!"
Karl said, "You're not breaking the law, but your every move will be watched by everyone, and your every word and action will be magnified infinitely! Many people are waiting to kick you when you're down. I've had this experience before!"
As a former "super con man," Carl was indeed qualified to say this. However, even though Xiao Peng knew Carl was a liar, it did not stop him from interacting with him.
Scammers are indeed despicable, but Xiao Peng rarely sympathizes with the victims of scams.
Most people who get cheated do so because they are greedy and want to make a quick profit.
Liu Baorong's father was like that back then. He was deeply involved in a pyramid scheme scam. Liu Baorong advised him to withdraw quickly but his father scolded Liu Baorong, saying that he knew nothing and that this was an "investment"!
Liu Baorong was so angry that he laughed. He ran to the pyramid scheme den and saw a group of old men and women there.
Is this a scam? We, who have received years of education and are addicted to the internet every day, don't understand it, but you old men and women do? You know more than us?
Although 60% of all scam victims are recent graduates or college students, the remaining 40% are elderly men and women!
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Well, although I think what you said makes sense, I still have to do this, and make them even more jealous, but they still have no choice but to ask me for help!"
"What are you going to do?" Carl asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers: "I'll make a phone call first! I want to give the Dutch people a surprise!"
