Chapter 1624: No Fitness
A celebration banquet is being held on the rooftop of the Hilton Suites Hotel, about twelve kilometers from the city center, to celebrate the successful completion of this WWE show.
Although they often hold celebration parties, they are usually small-scale celebrations. There has almost never been a party like this one with so many people coming at once.
What’s even more amazing is that this time Vincent paid for it himself!
Vincent's usual style is 'you have to spend money to get things done, and spend the least amount of money to do the biggest things'. This time, he is really stingy. The top three floors of the entire hotel are now fully booked. Adding this party, the cost will be at least five hundred thousand!
This is really the first time!
But they all knew why: they were also shocked by Xiao Peng's generosity!
The "championship belt" that Xiao Peng pressed on Vincent was made of pure gold. In front of the belt was an 18K white gold plate inlaid with various gemstones, and the word "WWE" was written on it. Those gemstones were all carat-level natural gemstones!
Why use 18K white gold? It's not that Xiao Peng is trying to save money, it's just that pure gold is too soft and the gemstones are easy to fall off!
How can a belt made of pure gold not be heavy?
This 'champion belt' is made of 4,000 ounces of gold, which is about 113 kilograms! It's a good thing it didn't crush Vincent to death!
According to the international gold price, this is about 7 million US dollars! What is even more precious is the gems on it. These are not fake ones like plexiglass or plastic. Any one of them will make women crazy!
Just this belt, not counting the labor costs, would cost at least 15 million!
Fifteen million is not out of the question for a billionaire like Vincent, but asking him to spend that much money on a mere decoration? He really can't do it!
And these gems are really hard to collect - except for Xiao Peng, of course.
After Xiao Peng salvaged the 'Queen's Dowry', he was missing everything except the gems.
"Xiao, when did you make this belt?" Vincent held the wine glass with a smile on his face. He was laughing so hard that he could hardly speak.
Xiao Peng pointed at Shao Feng and Zhao Shanhe, who were drinking with a beautiful woman in the distance, and said, "You should thank them. When I told them I was coming to WWE, I asked them to prepare this belt. Didn't you donate five million to my foundation back then? So, I'll give you ten feet. But since it used so much gold, it's a bit troublesome to get it out of the country, so they came here first. The belt will come after all the exit procedures are completed. I'm saying, you're not stupid enough to carry this belt around with you, are you?"
"I've already put it in the safe at the Bank of America Southern in Houston," Vincent said. "But I can't wait to hold him in my arms as he sleeps... Hey, Xiao, I donated another 50 million in WWE shares to your foundation. Why are you still giving me a slap on the wrist?"
Xiao Peng interrupted him directly and said, "You donated the five million, and you lost the fifty million in a bet! They're not the same thing! Don't be too greedy. How can there be so many surprises in the world?"
Vincent said cheerfully, "When you put that belt on me, I almost suffocated! I was thinking: You're going to crush me to death!"
Xiao Peng said, "Alright, forget about this belt. Don't say I'm trying to scare you. Be careful, the Americans might investigate you for money laundering!"
Vincent said disdainfully: "Then let them come and investigate! I'm not afraid of them! Um... Xiao, I want to apologize to you."
"Sorry?" Xiao Peng was stunned. "What are you sorry for?"
After checking that no one around could hear him, Vincent said to Xiao Peng, "Here's what happened. The old military contacted me..."
Xiao Peng waved his hand to interrupt him. "I know. They've contacted me, too. I've only told you about the coordinates of the shipwreck, apart from a limited number of people. I haven't mentioned this to Shao Feng or Zhao Shanhe. As for the other people who knew about it, I'm absolutely confident. The only possible reason the coordinates were leaked is because of you!"
Vincent was stunned for a moment, then asked directly, "You knew about this a long time ago, and you still gave me that belt?"
Xiao Peng picked up the champagne glass, nodded to a woman who smiled at him, then turned to Vincent and said, "So what if you tell others? This was a chance for me to make money, but a few days ago, this jerk came to me and asked me to give him five million! I was originally thinking of giving it a bargain of three hundred million or five hundred million and forgetting about it, but now that bastard is looking for me? I won't do it for less than one and a half billion!"
"1.5 billion?" Vincent exclaimed, "Xiao, isn't that too high?"
"High?" Xiao Peng took out a USB drive. "Vincent, I'll be leaving in a week. Don't you have connections with the military here? Tell them to give me an answer within a week. They can try to trap me here or use some underhanded tactics on me. I guarantee that if there's no answer within a week, these coordinates will definitely find a buyer. I think the Russians, Iranians, or North Koreans would all love to know these coordinates, right?"
Vincent took the USB drive and asked, "What's in it?"
"That damaged towed sonar image will allow them to confirm whether it's theirs!" Xiao Peng said, "Given that Kevin Ishii wants to kill me, this thing must be very important to them, right?"
Vincent said, "Xiao, I have no problem giving them this information, but don't you think threatening a country's military like this is too dangerous for your personal safety?"
Xiao Peng said, "I've figured it out now. I didn't do anything to anyone in Europe, but someone stole my drugs. Even if I'm honest, they still want to mess with me. So I might as well be ruthless. I want to learn from you and become a true businessman. A person dies, but the bird flies back to the sky, but it lives on forever. 1.5 billion, not in US dollars, not in euros, I want gold!"
"Gold?" Vincent's eyes widened. "Where did they get so much gold? 1.5 billion dollars is about 23 and a half tons of gold, right?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "I don't care where they get the money from. If they're willing to do this business, I'll do it. If they don't want to do it, forget it. I want money over my life. Of course, I don't want cash either! Lest they use their dirty hands to block my account again."
Vincent was about to speak when Zhao Shanhe came over and said, "Brother Peng, what are you two doing here? There are so many girls here, why don't you go and play?"
"Why don't you continue playing?" Xiao Peng asked.
Zhao Shanhe sighed and said, "He's too strong. I can't play with him!"
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this: "Can you do it?"
These female wrestlers are so much bigger than they appear on TV! Take Leia, for example; her arms are actually about the same thickness as Zhao Shanhe's legs. Even the petite "Little Witch"'s arms are a whole lot thicker than his.
It’s really not possible without fitness!
