Chapter 1481 Don’t Underestimate My Bodyguard
Basically, any country that has ever competed against the Koreans in sports is extremely annoyed with them. They will mess up any sport that the Koreans participate in.
Speaking of the victims of competing against Korea, there are so many: the Italian men's soccer team was beaten badly by Korea; Canada swept the podium before presenting at the Korean Winter Olympics, implying that the podium was not clean; the only time Korea surpassed Japan in medals at the Asian Games was due to hundreds of Korean women acting as "juicers" for the Japanese athletes; in e-sports competitions, if you fall behind, you can just unplug the network cable...
Just like Vincent said: Koreans say 'sportsmanship'? The whole world laughed!
Even though the United States is the "father country" of Goryeo, Goryeo has no qualms about cheating the United States: Former world boxing champion Roy Jones Jr. went to participate in the Olympics held in Goryeo. In the boxing final, he faced a Goryeo opponent. He beat his opponent so hard that his face was covered in blood and he couldn't even stand. However, in the end, the Goryeo player won, which was hailed as the "biggest scandal in the Olympics."
In fact, the "biggest scandal of the World Cup," the "biggest scandal of the Winter Olympics," the "biggest scandal of esports"... in short, the "biggest scandal" of international events basically all involve Koreans. Korean sportsmanship? Haha.
Just as Vincent said, 'how many times will the Koreans file appeals' will definitely be a major highlight of this Olympics.
When it comes to sports, Korea is an unavoidable hurdle. Basically, people who love sports, no matter where they come from, will curse Korea when it is mentioned, and they will become friends after cursing for a while.
Vincent and Xiao Peng were like this, drinking and cursing Gao Li at the same time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Xiao, why don't you go out and have some fun?" Vincent asked.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said, "Vincent, don't mind me. I was indeed pretending to be sick to avoid these people. I have social anxiety."
"I can't tell." Vincent said, "After talking for so long, you said you have social anxiety?"
Xiao Peng said, "What I mean by social phobia is that I don't like ineffective social interactions. And to be honest, most people on the ship are ineffective social interactions for me. All these wealthy people are not as important to me as the crew on the ship."
Of course, what he said also included Vincent, but Vincent didn't get angry. Instead, he nodded in agreement: "I understand what you said. You don't have any business investments, so naturally you don't need others to bring you commercial profits. But connections bring not only wealth, but sometimes intelligence can also be a great asset. Just like..."
When he said this, he looked at Xiao Peng without saying anything.
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "I understand what you said, so I am trying to change myself, otherwise why would I have this trip?"
"Are you really taking this trip just for the sake of traveling?" Vincent asked suddenly.
Xiao Peng asked helplessly: "Otherwise, what is it for?"
There was no expression on his face, but his heart was in turmoil: They say that 'old people become more clever', could it be that Vincent discovered the problem?
Vincent smiled and said, "I've been studying Daxia culture lately. You Chinese have a saying, 'A thousand gold coins buy a horse bone.' Are you promoting your foundation? Your foundation has just been established, and there aren't many people making large donations. This promotional method is really good. Was this Fabian's idea?"
Xiao Peng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He smiled and said, "You already said it was 'a huge sum of money for a horse'. Of course, that was my idea."
Vincent shook his head: "But I have to tell you, what you did was irrational."
"Very irrational? What do you mean?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this.
Vincent said, "You should know that WWE has always been my job, and I've been involved in its development from start to finish. But I keep my work and personal lives separate. You only see the WWE side of me, not my family side. The Luna is like your home to you, and it's not wise for you to let so many people know about it. The internet is full of photos of you on the boat, which means your home is open to prying eyes. You should have considered this when inviting guests and told them in advance that taking photos is prohibited."
Xiao Peng was completely relieved after hearing this. He smiled and explained, "Vincent, you don't have to worry about this. Do you know what Khedira's wife does?"
Vincent asked in confusion, "What do you do?"
Xiao Peng explained, "His wife, Lewandowski, is a Pritzker Prize-winning architect. I've asked her to completely redesign the interior of my boat. I want to rebuild everything from scratch. After all, the style of this boat isn't my style. I prefer a minimalist yet sophisticated style. This kind of nouveau riche, luxurious interior doesn't suit me."
"Isn't Khedira your bodyguard?" Vincent's eyes widened. "He married a Pritzker Prize-winning designer?"
"Who are you looking down on? What's wrong with my bodyguards?" Xiao Peng said, "You want money? My bodyguards are all millionaires. You want experience? He's traveled extensively with me. You want talent? He's the dean of the Architecture Department at Delft University of Technology, and he's said to have a talent for design. As for knowledge, although these people may not have advanced degrees, they've read a lot with me. Isn't that enough? Don't underestimate the people on my ship. Any one of them can speak at least two languages. I think Lewandowski had good taste in marrying my bodyguard - their future will definitely not stop there!"
Vincent chuckled, "Why are you so anxious? I admit your bodyguards are amazing, don't I? You treat them so well! No wonder everyone wants to get on your boat."
Xiao Peng said, "How can it be bad? When I was working on ocean debris cleanup, I once went for an interview and asked about the salary. The HR was surprised and asked me: 'Are you here to make money?' Damn, if I'm not here to make money, then what is it for? To be motivated by love? Isn't the purpose of work to make money? 'Loyalty' is often based on money."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Vincent, you're right. I should increase my social life. I'll wash up, change my clothes, and go out for a walk."
Vincent said, "That's perfect. I'm a little hungry too. Let's go to the restaurant and find something to eat."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Go ahead. Let me tell you something. If you want authentic Chinese food, you can ask our chef, Lao Liu. If you want French food, I've invited Chef Pacoul and his team from the Michelin three-star restaurant, 'The Gods' Dining Room'. We guarantee that all guests will have the best experience on board!"
"You really spent a lot of money!" Vincent exclaimed. "How much did you budget for this trip?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Ten million, is that enough?"
"Oh my goodness!"
