Chapter 22 Friendship is friendship, business is business
Today, Xiao Peng definitely received a "god assist" from Sinne.
Men all like to show off in front of beautiful women, and Pascal is no exception. However, showing off comes at a price.
The result of the first show-off was that the reserve price of two "Baizant" gold coins was placed in front of Xiao Peng. It was difficult for him to go back on his word while guarding the beautiful Pascal, so he bought the two gold coins for 400,000 euros!
The second time he showed off, Pascal boasted that he would pay two million for this "silver button"! Well, he was going to break the bank again!
In reality, Pascal wasn't lying; he was indeed willing to pay two million for the "silver button." But who wouldn't want to spend less and get more done? If he hadn't boasted to Xine about the internal communication, he might have been able to get the "silver button" from Xiao Peng for one million.
Having said that, this was not the stupidest thing he had done. What was even stupider was that he shouldn't have mentioned the "silver button" at all. Otherwise, Xiao Peng, a layman, would have no idea of the value of this silver coin and might even have given it to himself!
Even if he mentioned the 'silver button', that wasn't the dumbest thing he did today! The dumbest thing he did was not getting so excited when he saw the 'silver button'. If he had gritted his teeth and said it was just an ordinary silver coin, maybe Xiao Peng would have believed him!
Now, not only did he talk about the preciousness of the 'silver button', he also showed how much he desired it!
Among so many coin collectors, who wouldn't want a "silver button"? Xiao Peng is currently on the active side, while I'm on the passive side. If Xiao Peng insists on raising the price, should I buy it?
He now felt that Fabian's eyes were a little strange: "My cousin, why did you brag to me just now? And what about 'I am the richest young generation in the family'? Isn't this clearly telling Xiao Peng: There are many rich and stupid people here, so kill them quickly!"
Anyway, Pascal just wants to slap himself a few times now. Today he is the one who is in trouble - stupid as hell!
Seeing Pascal's regretful look, Xiao Peng was in a good mood.
How could he not be happy?
Yesterday he was still illegally taking people diving for a commission of 200 euros, but today he is about to become a millionaire!
I have to say this feeling...
It’s really fucking cool!
Seeing Xiao Peng looking at him, Pascal said helplessly, "Xiao, for God's sake, don't look at me with that damn look! I feel like your eyes are the eyes of caring for a mentally retarded child! Well, today I do look like a mentally retarded child."
Xiao Peng didn't know what to say, so he could only shrug and continue smiling without saying anything.
Pascal sighed and said, "Xiao, tell me, what price do I need to pay to get this silver coin?"
Before Xiao Peng could say anything, Fabian on the side said, "Xiao, we are all friends, aren't we?"
"Yes, we are friends." Xiao Peng smiled, "But don't you always say 'friendship is friendship and business is business'?"
Fabian choked and was speechless.
Xiao Peng took the silver coin in his hand and said with a smile: "Pascal, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course!" Although Pascal said this, his eyes never left the 'silver button' in Xiao Peng's hand.
Xiao Peng asked, "You really want this 'silver button', right?"
Pascal answered without hesitation: "Of course!"
"All coin collectors want this 'silver button', am I right?" Xiao Peng continued to ask.
Pascal was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Many of these coin collectors have more financial resources than you. Am I right?"
Pascal took a deep breath and said angrily, "Damn it, you're right! If I were really that rich, I would have paid an unacceptable price to buy a 'silver button'!"
"But for you, two million is not your psychological bottom line, right? You will buy this 'silver button' for a number higher than this, right?" Xiao Peng continued to ask.
Pascal was silent for a moment and then nodded: "Indeed not, but it won't be much more than that."
He didn't mention a specific figure. Xiao Peng smiled slightly and said, "Then if I contact a coin collector who's richer than you, I can sell it for a better price, right?"
Pascal nodded and simply stopped talking!
Fabian got anxious when he saw his cousin like this: "Xiao, please don't torture Pascal like this, okay? Just tell me what you want to do!"
Xiao Peng laughed: "Pascal, the price is two million, this silver coin is yours!"
"What?" Fabian and Pascal exclaimed together.
Pascal blinked: "Xiao, did I hear it right?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "If you have hearing problems and misheard what I said, I believe Fabian and Xinnei will not be wrong either."
Now it was Pascal's turn to be confused: "Xiao, can you tell me why you did this?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Didn't Fabian just say that? We are friends. You opened your family's database to me and invited me to join the Cousteau Diving Association. We Chinese people value gratitude, so of course I will repay such a favor!"
"Then you can give this coin to Pascal." Sinne said on the side.
Xiao Peng grinned: "Friendship is friendship, business is business!"
Shinne rolled his eyes.
Pascal looked at Xiao Peng and said, "Xiao, do you know what? By doing this, you've lost at least 400,000 yuan in profit!"
Fabian was so anxious that he kicked Pascal under the table. "My cousin is crazy again! Why did you say your bottom price again?" But Pascal seemed to feel nothing and continued to stare at Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng laughed. "Of course I know, and I know it's more than 400,000 to be exact! After all, you're not the only buyer. This is a seller's market!"
"Then why are you willing to sell it to me at the lowest price?" Pascal asked puzzledly.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I told you, we are friends."
Pascal was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and shook hands vigorously with Xiao Peng: "Xiao, you have won my friendship! We are friends!"
"My friend, you can write a check now!" Xiao Peng said happily.
Pascal pulled out his checkbook again, scribbled a string of numbers, and handed it to Xiao Peng. "I was thinking of writing a few more numbers, but then I thought better of it. I have a better suggestion: I'll introduce you to an excellent accountant. Believe me, what he can do is definitely worth the four hundred thousand!"
Xiao Peng was a little disappointed when he heard Pascal's words. "Why don't you write more? How can I not feel bad about losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit?" But after hearing what he said, he was delighted!
The accountants of such a big family are all extremely awesome, and we will have to rely on them to avoid taxes in the future!
This is definitely an unexpected gain!
