Chapter 1295 A Ship Arrives
Xiao Peng's order was for the two ships to celebrate at sea for three days, and in fact he did so. There were parties on the "Luna" anytime and anywhere.
Although the party was going on, the situation of two people was very miserable.
One of them was of course Zhao Shanhe. He had been practically unaware for the past three days!
When they were in Germany, he got Xiao Peng drunk so hard that he lost his mind. Now that he is in Xiao Peng's home court, can he let Zhao Shanhe go?
Zhao Shanhe also saw that Xiao Peng was not going to let him go, but this time he was also risking his life: during this live broadcast, Xiao Peng specifically talked to everyone about the importance of clothing in the harsh climate of working at sea, and then solemnly promoted Zhao Shanhe's clothing brand.
This advertisement was quite strong, not even concealing the fact that he owned shares in Zhao Shanhe's company. He also promised with all his heart that if there was any problem with Zhao Shanhe's clothing brand and it ruined his reputation, no matter where Zhao Shanhe was on the planet, he would personally make sure he was out of business!
Although Xiao Peng said this as a joke, Zhao Shanhe really didn't dare to take it as a joke!
Xiao Peng takes his reputation very seriously: King of Salvage, Ambassador of Daxia Cultural Exchange, Major Financial Sponsor of Western Desertification Control Project and National Deep Sea Base, Philanthropist, Patriotic Businessman, Old Rogue...
Ugh, the last one can only be kept in mind and not said out loud!
Anyway, no matter what, if he ruined his reputation, Zhao Shanhe felt that Xiao Peng would not let him go, and Zhao Shanhe really believed that Xiao Peng could do what he said!
Who cares! Xiao Peng has paved the way for me, so I just have to work hard! I really made a fortune this time!
So why bother talking? Just drink! This is the classic example of a 'happy trouble'.
When those big-name clothing brands found out that Zhao Shanhe only used 10% of the company's shares to let Xiao Peng endorse his product, they all regretted it deeply - it turned out that Xiao Peng was taking an advertisement!
Even if those big-name clothing brands can't give Xiao Peng shares, they can design a series for him! Isn't that the case with Kanye West and Adidas' "Yeezys" and Jordan and Nike's AJ series?
Now many companies have set their sights on Xiao Peng: If Xiao Peng is willing to endorse them, wow, it would be wonderful to think about it!
Zhao Shanhe is miserable enough, but he is not the worst.
Who is the worst off?
Of course it’s Xiao Peng himself!
There is a saying in Xiao Peng's hometown that drinkers are most afraid of four types of people: those with red faces, those who sweat under their armpits, those who carry pills in their pockets, and those who have pigtails.
What does this mean?
"Red-cheeked" refers to someone whose face turns red when they drink. You might think they can't hold their liquor and you can't bear to force them to drink, but they're actually fine. Drinking with such people can easily lead to underestimation and drunkenness.
"Sweating under the armpits" means that normal people go to the bathroom to excrete alcohol, but this kind of person excretes alcohol through sweating and does not go to the bathroom even at the table. It is easy to get drunk if you hold it in with him.
The guy who "hides pills" is a bit of a drinking freak: when a group of people are drinking, he'll put the pill bottle on the table and say, "Sorry, everyone, I went to the hospital today and the doctor told me not to drink." When everyone's almost finished drinking, he'll throw the pill bottle away and say, "Brotherhood is more important than anything else, I'll drink too!" In the end, everyone at the table is drunk, but he's the only one sober...
And what about those with pigtails? Of course, they refer to girls.
Any girl who dared to pick up a glass of wine at the table was not to be underestimated. Moreover, these girls came from Belarus, a country with the highest per capita alcohol consumption in the world; moreover, these girls were carefully selected, smart and beautiful; moreover, there were many of them; moreover, they had ulterior motives; moreover, men couldn't say "no" to women; moreover, Xiao Peng didn't have much self-control; moreover...
Anyway, Xiao Peng became the most miserable person on the entire ship. The ship's doctor was always cautious, fearing that Xiao Peng would need "gastric lavage" or "rescue" or something like that - if the famous "salvage king" died from drinking, that would be the biggest joke of all time!
"Old Chen!" Hua Chong walked over to the cockpit, where Chen Cheng was hunched over a nautical chart. "Would you like some coffee?"
"Damn coffee!" Chen Cheng said without even looking up. "Give me a pot of Jasmine Flower."
Hua Chong laughed heartily. "I knew you'd say that. The tea's already been made! How's it going? Has anyone arrived?"
Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Nothing has been found. My boss asked me to operate the AIS for three days now, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
Hua Chong handed Chen Cheng a cup of tea and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Just follow the boss's instructions... Eh? Isn't that a ship approaching?"
Chen Cheng took the teacup and tilted his head to look at it: "He really came!"
He logged onto the AIS International Information website as he spoke. "'Blood and Glory'? What kind of idiot with a second-year syndrome would name their boat that?! It's registered to Panama's 'Global Fishing Company'. Holy crap, a 121-foot Turkish 'Lumari' flybridge yacht is actually registered as a fishing vessel? These rich people are really good at avoiding taxes!"
Hua Chong took a look and said, "Judging from the route, it seems like it's really coming to find us. The ship is going quite fast. Seeing this naive ship name, I can only think of two people. One is Pascal, but it can't be him. The other is Prince Billy d'Orléans of France. Apart from these two, I can't think of anyone else the boss knows who could give his ship such a name."
Chen Cheng asked, "Should I inform the boss?"
Hua Chong waved his hand and said, "Forget it! Yesterday at four in the morning, the boss was still on the deck, drinking and walking his bird under the moonlight. Let him get some rest."
Chen Cheng exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen the boss play so wildly! It completely overturns the image of him in my mind!"
After hearing this, Hua Chong said directly, "Come on, if you were surrounded by a group of Slavic girls of this quality, I guarantee you would be even crazier than the boss!"
"Hehe, I'm a married man, don't think so badly of me!" Chen Cheng said.
Hua Chong said: "Then five good men, will you return to China this time when you return to Hong Kong?"
"What country are we going back to?" Chen Cheng asked. "All the free tickets are gone! Let's save some money. The children's education is too expensive!"
Hua Chong curled his lips and said, "You're so rich, yet you still complain about your expenses. Be careful or someone will slap you in the face! This society's deterioration started when rich people like you started crying poor!"
Chen Cheng said, "Whatever you can save, the better. If you can leave more for the children, the better."
"What a good father!" Hua Chong exclaimed.
Chen Cheng was silent for a moment and then suddenly said, "Uh, well... I heard from Kasin that you know a great bar? I'll treat you to a couple of drinks when we get back."
Hua Chong's face was filled with black lines. "Old Chen, I take back what I just said now, and I sincerely say to you: Fuck you!"
