Chapter 1326: A Man Without Faith Cannot Stand
When Xiao Peng got up, Albrecht had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Alfred, have you prepared breakfast for the guests?" Xiao Peng asked.
Alfred nodded, "Sir, Mr. Heidegger and the others have already finished their breakfast."
"Okay." Xiao Peng turned to Albrecht and said, "Albrecht, you got up really early."
Albrecht smiled bitterly and said, "As you get older, try to sleep less."
Xiao Peng yawned. "Sorry, I usually get up early these days, but I don't know why I got up late today. Maybe it's because I don't have to go to the library today."
Albrecht said, "Xiao, I've figured it out and I agree with your proposal."
Xiao Peng nodded: "You made a wise choice."
"I think so too," Albrecht said. "Money is only money when it's in your pocket."
Xiao Peng gave a thumbs up: "You think very clearly."
Albrecht continued, "Well, let's sign an agreement now and I'll give you the rest of the information."
"No need." Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "Unless you have the exact coordinates, your information is not important to me."
"Huh?" Albrecht was stunned.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "You signed the agreement with me because you were afraid I wouldn't give you your share, right? Albrecht, believe me, your information is not important to me at all. The most important thing about all your information to me is telling me this. I can completely abandon you to do this now. But don't worry, I won't do that. At least I won't do that to my friends."
Albrecht was silent for a long moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Xiao, I've always thought it was a bit exaggerated when people called you the 'Salvage King,' but now I'm convinced! To be honest, I thought about it for a long time last night. At first, I couldn't wrap my head around it. I was wondering why you took so much. I thought I'd take this secret to my grave! But then I thought, getting a piece is better than getting nothing, right? And since I've already given you a gift, how can I go back empty-handed? I figured that even if I gave you the remaining information, you wouldn't necessarily gain anything. After all, as you said—this thing is too difficult. I might as well cooperate with you and just get closer to you. I didn't expect that I would make the right choice."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Life is a process of constantly making choices. We can't always make the right choice."
"Are you really confident that you can find it?" Albrecht asked.
Xiao Peng didn't answer the question directly: "I'm very lucky. But Albrecht, you'd better be mentally prepared. I can't do this in the short term."
"Why?" Albrecht asked.
Xiao Peng explained, "I promised William to help him find a cargo ship from the Barents Fleet. There's nothing valuable on this ship, but it seems to have great symbolic significance to the Dutch, a symbol of their 'honesty'. I promised William to find that ship when I first met him, but I haven't done it yet. It turns out I valued money too much and was only thinking about making money. Now it's quite funny. 'A man without integrity cannot stand.' Let me do this for William first. I won't do anything else until I've finished this."
Albrecht was silent for a moment, then gave a thumbs-up. "What a saying, 'A man without integrity cannot stand.' If I had a clear purpose in dating you before, I'm glad I did. Xiao, I hope our relationship will become closer."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Well, you can always come visit me if you have time—provided I'm home. Alfred, get me something to eat! I'm starving!"
Alfred said, "Sir, it's ready."
After hearing this, Albrecht said hurriedly, "Damn it! I was so busy chatting with you that I didn't realize you hadn't had breakfast yet."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I hope you don't mind. Can we talk while we eat?"
"Of course I don't mind!" Albrecht said hurriedly, and at this time he walked out of the living room and said a few words to his entourage outside the door before returning to the living room.
"Xiao, it's an interesting story," Albrecht said. "I should have hated you. I was kicked out of the Tri-State Alliance, lost face, and became a laughing stock. But then, thanks to you, the BMW ski business took off, and I returned to the Tri-State Alliance, and everything went smoothly. And after meeting you this time, I've discovered that being your friend would be a very pleasant thing."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I'm glad to say that."
At this time, the maid came over with breakfast. Albrecht was stunned when he saw Xiao Peng's breakfast: "Xiao, what kind of breakfast are you eating?"
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "This is called fried dough sticks, this is called pie, this is called tea egg, this is called tofu pudding... These are all breakfasts in our country. I really don't find your milk, bread, bacon, etc. as good as our own breakfast. What? Want to try it?"
Albrecht rubbed his stomach and said, "Forget it. We'll talk about it some other time. I ate a bit too much for breakfast today."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Then I'll eat first."
Albrecht thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to go out and get some fresh air."
"Ah?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "Why do you want to go out?"
"It makes me sick to watch you eat! It smells so good." Albrecht said, "Next time I come to see you, I'll eat whatever you eat. You Daxia people really know how to eat!"
Xiao Peng laughed so happily after hearing this.
After breakfast, Xiao Peng learned how to ride under Albrecht's tutelage. He suddenly discovered how fascinating riding was. William introduced the horse trainer, who had also arrived. Through his introduction, Xiao Peng realized just how impressive the horses Albrecht had given him were: these six horses were all of noble pedigree. Their father, Pinecone Knight, had once achieved a record of nine wins a year at the Berlin Racecourse!
Germans love horse racing just as much as football! During the global pandemic, Germany was the first country to resume horse racing! This is why Albrecht gave Xiao Peng a horse. If it were another European, they would be overjoyed. In the West, owning your own horse is a status symbol, just like the heroine in "2 Broke Girls" who, despite being broke, still keeps her own horse. She values the trophies her horse brings her the most...
Unfortunately, in Xiao Peng's eyes, it only made him understand one thing: Oh, it turns out that everything in Europe is about bloodline, in addition to humans and dogs, it turns out that horses are also important...
"Xiao, I think I should go now." Albrecht said, "Before I go, I need your help with one thing."
Xiao Peng was stunned: "Huh?"
