Chapter 284: Another Gold Devouring Beast
Xiao Peng really wants to kill Kante, this is no joke.
How can you be so defensive against thieves? Waiting for them to come out and cause trouble for you? The so-called bad guys should be killed first! Only when they're dead can they no longer be considered bad guys!
"Oranges grow south of the Yangtze River, while tangerines grow north of the Yangtze River." Xiao Peng has changed after staying in France for a long time. At least his murderous intent has become much stronger. He would never have such thoughts when he was in China.
Fabian, Chen Zetao and Zhang Qikun took turns to persuade Xiao Peng to change his mind. Finally, Chen Zetao used his "trump card", which made Xiao Peng temporarily give up the idea of killing Kante: "Mediterranean Support No. 2" is here.
Xiao Peng was now completely broke. All his money had been used up to pay for the Mediterranean Support II. He now had only six figures left in his bank account, barely enough to buy gas.
In fact, Chen Zetao told Xiao Peng that he could pay for the purchase in installments, but Xiao Peng rejected the proposal: "I wear a hat that fits my head, and I spend as much as I can afford!" He didn't want to owe anyone money.
Debts only add up. Not paying them back may feel good for a while, but they'll end up in the crematorium after the fun wears off.
Even so, his money was still not enough, but he was not fighting alone, he had two partners, right?
How could Fabian and Pascal not pay for the boat? The three of them pooled their money and finally managed to raise the money!
After Xiao Peng bought the boat, he could hardly afford the gas. After refueling the boat, Xiao Peng was completely broke!
All the funds have become a ship and a bunch of sailors, so what should we do next?
Make money!
Xiao Peng was not in a hurry to salvage the sunken ship full of gold coins. After all, a big tree attracts the wind. He had gained too much in the past year. But he had no choice but to salvage them now!
"Netizens, as you've seen, I changed boats." Xiao Peng said to the camera while lying on the deck, "I had to change. Both of my previous boats were blown up."
The barrage was filled with curious comments.
"What? The ship was bombed?"
"What's going on?"
"Who dares to blow up my husband's boat?"
"Is public security in foreign countries so bad?"
“It’s definitely the envy of my peers!”
"Husband, the security outside is so bad, let's go back home as soon as possible."
Xiao Peng stretched and took the camera in his hand to show the surroundings: "You all see it, right? This is my new boat!"
"Why does this look like 'Mediterranean Support No. 2'?"
"Yes, that's the ship!"
Xiao Peng laughed. "Although I rarely broadcast live, it seems everyone has a pretty good memory. That's right, this is the 'Mediterranean Support No. 2', but it's not called that anymore. It's called the 'Calysop'. You must be curious why it's called that. Well... well... there's nothing I can do about it. I didn't have the money to buy this ship, so I pooled some money with my two partners. When the ship was transferred and renamed, they both unanimously named it the 'Calysop'. I lost 2-1, so the ship is now called this ridiculous name!"
Xiao Peng's complaint was not without reason.
At that time, he was still short of money to buy the "Mediterranean Support No. 2". After all, Pascal and Fabian were his partners, so they also contributed funds to purchase the ship.
However, if the ship is to be transferred to the company, it needs to be renamed and can no longer be called "Mediterranean Support No. 2". It needs to be given a new name.
Xiao Peng originally thought that the three people would argue for a while about naming the ship, but unexpectedly, Fabian and Pascal unanimously named the ship "Calysop".
Who is Calythorpe? She's the goddess of the sea in Greek mythology. Anyone who's seen "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" will undoubtedly be impressed by the large black woman who transforms into a crab. That's Calythorpe.
Fabian and Pascal insisted on naming the ship after their grandfather, the great diving pioneer Cousteau, whose original vessel was called the Calythorpe. After Cousteau's death, the Calythorpe was consigned to a museum, and the Cousteau family replaced it with a new expedition vessel. The legendary Calythorpe has since become a legend in the world of ocean exploration.
Fabian and Pascal chose this name to pay tribute to his grandfather and to inherit his grandfather's good luck.
Anyway, no matter what, the three people voted 2 to 1 to pass it, and a Chinese marine engineering vessel now has a "foreign name".
"Damn, a Chinese ship has a 'foreign name'."
"After staying in a foreign country for so long, he must have started to forget his roots."
"That's right. 'Patriotism' and the like are things we poor people do. The rich people would have already fled abroad!"
Various "sour" voices began to appear on the barrage again.
Xiao Peng was already angry about being classified as an "overseas person", and he became even more furious after seeing these comments.
"I'm telling you, those of you who are complaining about me giving the ship a 'foreign name,' are you crazy?" Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "Have some brains? I'm in France! I have to be able to register the ship's name in Chinese characters! And you uneducated guys, let me tell you, not just anyone can name a ship 'Calythorpe'! This is the name of the most famous oceanographic research vessel in French history, the ship of Jacques Cousteau, a pioneer in ocean exploration. It turns out that 'Calythorpe' has been in a museum for a long time. I want to register this ship's name in France... Forget it, why am I telling you all this?"
Fabian and Pascal went to great lengths to register the ship, but they still couldn't get it. This was because of Pascal's father's interference.
The relationship between these two men is truly unique!
The person who finally solved this problem was Zhang Qikun!
This French nobleman of Chinese descent, who spoke no Chinese, showed Xiao Peng the power of these established French aristocrats. A few days after he learned of the problem Xiao Peng and his crew were facing, 'Calysop' became the new name for 'Mediterranean Support No. 2'!
"Alright, alright!" Xiao Peng said to the camera, "There's no point in telling you all this, but I can tell you one thing: I'm very poor right now. How poor am I? Apart from this ship and a bunch of subordinates, I have nothing else."
"It's awesome to have a ship like this!"
"Yeah! It's worth it to be able to get on a ship like this in my lifetime!"
"What are you going to do next?"
Xiao Peng looked at the comments and replied, "What can I do? Fight like hell! Although I have a ship now, I'm still worried about whether I can maintain it. Every year, this ship and its crew will cost me at least 15 million. If both the ROV and HOV are used, there's no limit. It's a money-eating beast."
