Chapter 1440 I can’t figure out why you sold these jewelry
When Xiao Peng got up the next day, someone had been waiting for him at the dock for half a day.
"Director Yu Beier?" Xiao Peng was also confused when he saw the person who came to see him: "Why are you here?"
The person who came was Hubert, the director of the French RDSD department. Why was he here? He should keep his distance from me!
Hubert asked in return: "Why? Don't you welcome me?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "How could I not welcome you?"
Hubert asked, "Then wouldn't you welcome me to sit on your boat?"
Xiao Peng was stunned: "Of course you're welcome. But... Director Bell, are you sure you want to come up and sit down?"
Yu Beier asked, "Is there anything inconvenient?"
"That's not the case." Xiao Peng took Yu Beier directly onto the Luna. Before entering the cabin, Yu Beier smelled a strong odor of alcohol. When he entered the cabin, he was stunned: "What's going on?"
There were a bunch of people lying on the ground in a mess, all of them were in disarray.
Xiao Peng explained, "I threw a yacht party last night and invited a bunch of young people to my boat. They're all what you'd call internet celebrities in your country. I don't know if it's because they've never had a good drink in their lives, but they were drinking themselves to death, vomiting and vomiting. They made two of the three swimming pools on my boat vomit. I was really worried they'd fall off the boat into the river, so I ended up locking them all up here. I regretted it afterwards—the elevator to my room goes through here. Be careful not to step on them."
Yu Beier sighed, "You really are willing to let people torment you like this in your boat."
"Hey, just to vent my anger." Xiao Peng said, "People fight for their breath, and the Buddha accepts the incense stick. Yesterday, one of my grandsons got me angry."
Hubert asked, "Bobby Alfonso, right?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from you. You are worthy of being the Director of DRSD. Hua Chong, drive them all away later. Remember to catch those who have dirty hands!"
Hua Chong grinned and said, "Don't worry, I'm watching. There are six people carrying things from the boat."
Xiao Peng spread his hands towards Yu Beier: "Look, I invited them to play and they came to steal things."
After hearing this, Yu Beier said, "Xiao, let's be frank. Not everyone can keep their composure after seeing all this stuff you have. Not to mention them, even I, who boarded your ship, wanted to steal the good stuff on board."
"If you like something, just tell me directly. Why steal it?" Xiao Peng said, "We are friends!"
Yu Beier coughed twice and said, "After all, I am a civil servant. Even if we are friends, I cannot accept your gift."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng curled his lips inwardly. What a sanctimonious tone he said. When I was in France a few years ago, you took a lot of money from me, okay?
They took the elevator to Xiao Peng's room on the upper floor, only to find several people sprawled out in front of the door. They were mostly girls, many of them completely naked, and there were even a few pieces of underwear hanging on Xiao Peng's door.
"What is this?" Yu Beier asked puzzled.
Xiao Peng said helplessly, "They were all drunk and knocking on my door in the middle of the night. My bodyguards stood guard for me all night. As a man, you have to learn to protect yourself!"
Hubert laughed out loud: "If I were a young girl, I think I would do the same: who made you so rich!"
Xiao Peng shook his head. "What's the point of having so much money? I can't spend it all anyway. What would you like to drink? Juice? Champagne? Red wine?"
French civil servants can drink red wine at work, which is quite comfortable!
Working in France is really comfortable. Basically, you spend half of the year resting, and there is no such thing as overtime. If your boss asks you to work overtime, you can just refuse - of course, the premise is that you are doing formal work. If you work illegally, you are also risking your life.
Yu Beier was originally sitting on the sofa. When he saw the wine cabinet over there, he suddenly stood up and walked over to Xiao Peng's cabinet, pointing at a bottle of wine inside and said, "Xiao, is that... Egon Miller Schatzburger Sweet White Wine?"
Xiao Peng looked up and said, "I don't recognize this wine. It's from a few bottles salvaged from a sunken ship. You want to drink it? I suggest you don't. This wine has been on the seabed for at least seventy years, so it must have gone bad. I'm just putting it here to make up the numbers."
"Uh, can I take a look?" Yu Beier asked.
"Of course." Xiao Peng took out the bottle of wine and handed it to Yu Beier.
The more Hubert looked at him, the more serious his expression became. Finally, he sighed, "Xiao, if you put this wine up for auction, it would be worth at least half a million. There aren't many 1938 Egon Miller Schatzburgers left in the world."
"Oh, is it drinkable? If it is, let's drink it." Xiao Peng said.
Yu Beier's face was filled with gloom. "Of course you can drink it, but drinking it like this is such a shame, isn't it?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Then this wine is for you. I still have more than a dozen bottles here."
Yu Beier waved his hands hurriedly: "No, this wine is too expensive!"
Xiao Peng said, "To me, it's just a bottle of wine that might go bad."
Even though he said that, Yu Beier still didn't dare to accept the bottle of wine - it was too expensive!
Xiao Peng didn't force it and poured Yu Beier a glass of red wine. "Yu Beier, can you tell me what you want to talk to me about now?"
Yu Beier was looking at the wine in his hand, and he couldn't let it go. After hearing what Xiao Peng said, he put down the wine in his hand and said to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, to be honest, I am embarrassed to tell you why I came to see you."
Xiao Peng said directly: "Just say what you want to say."
Yu Beier took the red wine glass and took a sip. "Xiao, did you attend the new product launch of Shangmei yesterday? And did you bring out a few national treasure-level jewelry pieces?"
"Yes." Xiao Peng said, "Many people have seen it. Is there any problem?"
Yu Beier said, "Actually, I'm here on someone's behalf. I want to ask if you're willing to sell those ornaments."
Xiao Peng said without thinking: "I don't want to. Do I need that money?"
Hubert wasn't surprised by Xiao Peng's answer. He coughed twice and said, "Actually, several museums in our country approached me, including, of course, Jules Delmas of Chaumet."
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this.
"What are you laughing at?" Hubert asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng asked, "Jules Delma is looking for me? For those sets of jewelry designed by Nidor?"
"Yes!" Hubert nodded and said, "Those museums came to you for these sets of jewelry. Think about it, the jewelry they collected is fake, but the real ones are in your hands. How can they not be anxious? They knew I was related to you, so they asked me to be their lobbyist. But now I'm too embarrassed to ask. With your wealth, I can't think of any reason for you to sell these jewelry."
"But you still said it!" Xiao Peng said, "Hubert, I originally planned to donate these pieces of jewelry to France for free. After all, this is where I made my fortune. But what happened? Sorry, forget it!"
