Chapter 191 New Identity
"I see. Okay, okay!" Xiao Peng said helplessly after putting the phone aside. "I'm really impressed by Brother Chen. He called me just now and urged me to start the live broadcast quickly. But we haven't even reached the scheduled location yet, so what's the point of live broadcasting?"
Pascal glanced up at the world clock on the wall and replied, "Maybe it's because of the time. It's almost 1 p.m. now, which is exactly 8 p.m. in your country, which is probably when most people are watching the live broadcast."
Xiao Peng curled his lips: "What a troublesome thing."
He said this but still opened the live broadcast software, adjusted the signal and entered the live broadcast room.
As soon as he entered the live broadcast room, he saw the barrage of comments flooding the screen.
"Here I come."
"Damn, you've been waiting for so long and you're only here now!"
"Why are you still wearing a mask?"
"Needless to ask? He must be very ugly!"
“Isn’t this fake?”
"The website has been advertising every day these days, and it's even been on the headlines. They must have the financial muscle to buy so many trending searches!"
"Brother, please say something!"
"Finding a mute as the anchor? That's quite interesting!"
Watching the barrage of comments on the screen, Lisa peeked in and whispered to her mother, "Mom, there are 700,000 people in this live broadcast room! 700,000!"
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this. "Lisa, don't be surprised. What kind of person is this? When our country's big anchors start broadcasting, the attention they receive is astonishing. The highest number of people watching a single anchor livestream selling goods was 160 million!"
"How much?" everyone on the boat exclaimed.
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "160 million. Honestly, I don't quite believe that number, but believe me, we have a lot of people in China. If only 700,000 people watched the live broadcast, then the live broadcast website wouldn't live up to their hype. That's too few people! There will definitely be more people soon."
Everyone looked at Xiao Peng's shocked expression, but the people in the live broadcast room were not happy.
"Why is it speaking bird language?"
"Damn, isn't this some foreigner who came to our country to defraud money?"
"It's really possible, otherwise he would wear a mask?"
"But judging by his skin color, he's a yellow man."
"He's so dark, and you still say he's a yellow man? Even if he is a yellow man, he might just be a fake foreigner!"
“No simultaneous translation? Bad review!”
"Who knows English? Translate!"
"Don't be ridiculous, that's French!"
"If you're that good, translate what he said!"
Xiao Peng glanced at the comments on the screen and grinned: "Okay, I was talking to a French friend just now so I spoke French. Now I will start speaking Chinese. First, let me answer a question for you: I am not a fake foreigner, I am a real Chinese, but now I am working in France. I just saw someone say that I am here to cheat people out of money? I know that making money from live streaming mainly depends on traffic and audience tips. I won't stop any of you from tipping me, but none of your tips will go into my pocket, nor will it go into the pocket of the live streaming website. All the money will be used to set up a fund and donated to the National Deep Sea Base to support national marine scientific research. This is the cooperation matter agreed upon by me and the live streaming website. Is there anyone in front of the screen who understands the law? Come, let me show you this is the contract." Xiao Peng held the contract in front of the camera: "Look at the paragraph here, do you understand? It is written very clearly!"
“It’s true!”
"Isn't this contract fake?"
"This anchor is a fool, confirmed!"
"What do you know? I'm going to give you a reward! It's like I'm supporting national development!"
"Damn, that sounds nice, but who knows if this money could be taken away by others!"
"Can anyone tell me what's going on with this anchor? Didn't they say they were going to broadcast the salvaging of a sunken ship? How come they can't even see the sea?"
Xiao Peng glanced at the comments and shook his head. "Alright, don't worry, everyone. You have too many questions. I'll answer them slowly. Well, I can answer one question you're concerned about: I'm not a fool. As for why I chose to donate all your tips? The reason is simple: I don't care about that little bit of money. You may not be able to tell, but I can tell you the truth. I'm a wealthy man! I'm worth hundreds of millions. I wear a mask so that people don't recognize me and ask me to borrow money!"
“You’re such a good blower!”
"That's right, a tycoon, a tycoon doing a livestream?"
"It really is no longer fashionable to cry poor these days; it's become fashionable to flaunt your wealth!"
"Look at how he's dressed, he doesn't look like a rich man!"
Xiao Peng placed the camera on a selfie stick, held it up, and walked out of the cabin. He introduced himself, "Someone just asked why we couldn't even see the sea. Let me introduce you. We're on my boat right now. It's the Danish X-YACHS 'X-55' model, a 55-foot-long, single-hulled, ocean-going, mechanically assisted sailing vessel. Buying a new one like this would cost 1.2 million euros. I'm not kidding, I bought this boat secondhand for only 600,000 euros, but the subsequent modifications and other things cost me 2 million euros, which converts to 20 million yuan. This boat is completely mine. Anyone who has the conditions can check the French ship registration website to verify my statement. The ship is called the 'Red Head Ship Number', and anyone who knows French can easily look it up."
"Fuck!"
“Is it really okay to show off your wealth like this?”
"Rich man, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"
Xiao Peng continued, "Now let me introduce you to my friend on the ship. This is Pascal, my good friend and business partner."
Pascal waved at the screen.
"Wow, so cool!"
"yes."
"It's a pity that he looks a little shorter."
"You're not underage, are you?"
"People have already said that this is a business partner!"
Xiao Peng continued to introduce, "These two are Walter and Khedira, employees of our company... Of course, this isn't the highlight I want to introduce to you. The highlight is naturally the beauties. The one holding the camera is Jenny Aimour, and these two are a pair of beautiful twins, one is Lisa Aimour, and the other is Claire Aimour. You can tell from their names that they are family. I am friends with the twins' father, and Jenny used to be a very good dancer in France. Now she is holding the camera because she needs to help shoot video footage. These twin girls are a treat I give to you all. After all, you must be visually fatigued by constantly looking at the rough guys on the boat. Let's take a look at some French beauties to feast your eyes!"
"This brother is so righteous!"
"Stop filming you! Let's see more of the twins!"
"Strongly request to change the anchor!"
"That's right, it's so nice to look at beautiful women."
Xiao Peng looked at the comments and coughed twice, looking embarrassed. "Okay, let's get back to the point. Today I'm going to show you how to find a sunken ship!"
