Chapter 1606 Is it better to default on your debt?
The entire stadium was now silent. Everyone's attention was focused on Xiao Peng!
What about wind speed, parabola, flight path? Xiao Peng didn't even bother to think about it. He threw the ball directly into the goal sixty yards away with a "powerful miracle".
The 100,000 fans in the stadium were all thinking about one question: Who am I? Where am I? What do I see?
Xiao Peng waved to the crowd, but there was no applause. Xiao Peng felt a little embarrassed. The Texans in this stadium were too unenthusiastic, weren't they? They didn't even know how to applaud.
Little did they know that the audience didn’t applaud because they were so scared!
Yes, I was really scared!
Xiao Peng didn't do any preparation when he threw the ball just now. It seemed like he just threw it casually and the ball flew directly into the goal sixty yards away.
It's difficult for a professional quarterback to throw the ball sixty yards, and that includes the ball's descent. But what about Xiao Peng's throw? It remained accurate from sixty yards and went straight into the net, and it was clear the ball hadn't even reached the top of its parabola! So, wouldn't Xiao Peng's throw have been over a hundred yards?
Fortunately, Xiao Peng didn't play quarterback. If he played football, what would the offensive line be? A center forward was responsible for kicking off the game, and the rest of the team stood in the opponent's touchdown zone waiting to catch the ball.
He pointed a finger at Vincent and said, "One hundred million!" Then he muttered, "Texas fans are really not enthusiastic."
Then he strolled back to the sidelines, and only then did the audience seem to come to their senses and start talking.
"Was there a rocket in that ball just now?"
"Yeah, that ball must have been tampered with! There's no way anyone could have thrown it that far!"
"I heard Daxia has very advanced drone technology. Is that ball the drone football they made?"
"Look at Vince McMahon's expression, it's clear acting! Shock mixed with pain, it's amazing!"
"That makes sense!"
“It’s a performance!”
"As expected of Vince McMahon, he always knows how to please the audience!"
The audience in the stands "found the answer" over there, but they didn't know that Vincent was really in agony: One hundred million, just lost like that?
He walked to the sidelines in a daze. Bruch asked curiously, "Vincent, what's wrong with you? Why do you have such an expression?"
Vincent was extremely aggrieved: "I just lost 100 million! It would be weird if I didn't have this expression."
"One hundred million?" Bruch was stunned.
Xiao Peng laughed heartily. "Vincent just made a bet with me, saying I couldn't throw the ball into the goal. I did, and I won 100 million!"
Vincent really wanted to ask Xiao Peng: Where is your face?
It was you who dragged me into the bet, okay? How did it become like I was betting with you?
Bruch shook his head after hearing this. "Vincent, you're so brave. The boss was bored out at sea and tried to shoot a basketball from the Mini Luna to the Luna. He missed three times in a row, but the ball either hit the backboard or the basket. That time the distance was almost three times this far. Compared to that, throwing a football this big into the goal is a piece of cake for me!"
After hearing this, Vincent looked at Xiao Peng with resentment. Although he didn't say it out loud, his meaning was clearly "You cheated me"!
His mind was spinning rapidly.
Why did Xiao Peng betray me? Did he know that I was collaborating with the FBI to investigate him, so he betrayed me? The last time I did that, it was very secretive. How did he find out about it?
The most terrifying thing is: what if Xiao Peng found out that he had cooperated with others in the investigation and still acted as usual, but then betrayed him at the critical moment? Isn't this person too cunning?
Of course, he can also deny the debt. After all, this matter was just said by the two of them and there is no one to prove it. But what will Xiao Peng do after he denies the debt?
If I'm not mistaken, the military is still holding a meeting to study the coordinate issue in Xiao Peng's hands. If I really make him unhappy because of this matter, things may become very troublesome!
Do I really have to pay the bill? The joint income issue is relatively simple, but it’s 50 million in stocks! He feels distressed when he thinks about it now.
Looking at Xiao Peng, who was standing there with a calm expression, he suddenly pondered a question: What was Xiao Peng thinking? Why did he suddenly want to make such a bet?
If Xiao Peng knew that Vincent had so much going on in his mind, he would definitely say: Buddy, you think too much!
Why did he drag Vincent into this? Of course, it was because of his sudden desire to survive!
With the internet being so advanced these days, even if the match wasn't broadcast, it would definitely get reported back to China! That would definitely be a platform for trolls to show off their skills.
Of course, Xiao Peng doesn't care about those trolls, but who in the world likes to be scolded?
So how do we solve this problem?
After thinking for a long time, he came up with an idea: divert the conflict and drag others into the water!
Think about it, if I can get Vincent to invest 50 million in my fund, who would still use words like "traitor" to describe me? I've already dragged an American billionaire to help Daxia's deep-sea research and development. Who of you still has the right to scold me?
As for why so much money is needed...
Why ask? It's boring if you don't have enough money!
Fifty million in stocks is nothing to Vincent, right? It's not like he's asking for cash.
He wouldn't deny his debt to me for such a small amount of money, would he? Vincent is a well-established billionaire!
Facts had proven that Xiao Peng had overestimated Vincent: while he was undoubtedly incredibly well-known here, his total assets amounted to only a little over a billion, barely reaching the threshold of billionaire status. Furthermore, a significant factor in his reaching that level was the surge in WWE's stock price over the past few years; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach that level.
Fifty million worth of stocks? Are you trying to make things difficult for him?
Xiao Peng, Fabian, Pascal, and the others were all pure cash flow types. Even Fabian, the least wealthy of the three, probably had significantly more cash than Vincent! Asking them to come up with 50 million wasn't a problem, but asking Vincent to come up with 50 million in stock? It would be a lie to say it wouldn't hurt!
And there is another key issue: if these 50 million shares enter Xiao Peng's fund, then Xiao Peng's fund will become one of the major shareholders of WWE. Even if it is a charitable fund, it is a charitable fund belonging to Daxia.
Daxia’s fund has become one of the major shareholders of WWE, America’s favorite entertainment program?
The problem that Xiao Peng needs to worry about being scolded by trolls will become a problem that Vincent needs to worry about.
The trolls on the American side are even more ruthless than those on the Daha side - they dare to say anything.
Shit, it’s no surprise that WWE’s stock would plummet at that time!
