Chapter 293 The boss doesn’t have that thing
Fabian came over with a bottle of red wine: "Today I'll let you taste my collection, the 2005 Romanee-Conti!"
Xiao Peng whistled, "'Wine King' huh? Why didn't you bring out the good stuff earlier?"
Fabian sighed. "I'm saving this bottle for show! In fact, I was planning on having it at my wedding."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng opened the bottle of red wine with a wine opener: "That's it, I won't be able to drink this wine in this lifetime. You sound so pitiful. When the gold money comes, we will buy all the wine on the market!"
Fabian laughed and said, "Although this behavior is very unsophisticated, I like it... Wait, what do you mean? Are you cursing me to be single for the rest of my life? By the way, Xiao, why did you leave so angrily just now?"
Fabian said as he took the decanter and poured the red wine into it.
Generally speaking, good red wines don't need to be decanted, while the worse the wine, the more it needs to be decanted. However, this 2005 Romanée-Conti is past its tasting year, so it needs to be decanted to improve its taste.
Xiao Peng told Fabian everything that had just happened.
Before Fabian could speak, Kasim on the side said angrily: "If she dares to say that, I can break her neck."
"And then?" Xiao Peng asked back, "Being arrested and imprisoned for life? Kasim, who in this world doesn't want to live according to their own temperament? But we can't! We don't have powerful fathers, so we have to rely on ourselves. Personality is a luxury for us, and we really can't afford it. At least I can't afford it yet. I have too much to carry!"
"What are you carrying?" Fabian asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly and said, "What would you think if I told you that I was carrying my grandfather's expectations?" At this point he glared at Chen Zetao fiercely.
Chen Zetao smiled awkwardly and ignored him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fabian's phone suddenly rang. Xiao Peng was stunned: "You didn't turn it off? It's a call from Godan. Don't answer it even if it's connected directly!"
Fabian checked his phone: "It's Pascal!"
Xiao Peng's face turned tense: "Did he get into trouble in Paris?"
Pascal went to Paris with Zhang Qikun and had the gold purity identified and sold at the relevant department of the Bank of France. Could it be bad news that he called back suddenly?
Chen Zetao said from the side, "Brother Xiao, you have a really big heart! To be honest, what you did is really something that most people can't do! Such a large amount of gold, and you just handed it over to others without even asking about it?"
Xiao Peng grinned. "What do you mean 'others'? Fabian, Pascal, and I have been through a lot. They're not people who haven't seen money before. And... let's put it this way, even if they stole this gold, believe me, they'd be the ones who suffered the loss."
Chen Zetao laughed after hearing Xiao Peng's words. "Well, I can understand that. It seems that your deep-sea salvage is different from others'. Others need months or even years of investigation and then months of salvaging to salvage a ship, but for you, it's like just going to the place, pulling up the valuables, and leaving! How many days did it take to salvage this batch of gold? Six days? Four days of travel time!"
Walter said, "Well, Mr. Chen, in fact, we took a day off there after the salvage. But my boss is not as exaggerated as you say. At least it took a long time to salvage the silver last time."
Xiao Peng slapped his thigh and said, "Well said, I'll let you have one more drink for this!"
Walter chuckled and said nothing.
Xiao Peng didn't want to be treated like a monster. If he wasn't broke, he wouldn't want to get the gold anytime soon. He didn't know how many people were staring at him now!
Just like Chen Zetao said, his current salvage speed is a little fast. Well, not a little, it's very, very fast! We need to find a way to solve this problem.
Fabian hung up the phone and said, "Xiao, Pascal said he'll be back in two days! Things are moving very quickly."
"Things are moving quickly?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened. "Pascal really said that? The French are so efficient? This is so un-French!"
Fabian laughed and said, "Isn't that strange? This is France. Other things can be inefficient, but how can we be inefficient with money? Besides, the Bank of France is the central bank of France. If they can't handle this little bit of gold, then forget it! Okay, I won't brag. Actually, I'm surprised by how efficient they are. Pascal said it was because of your half-compatriot. The Bank of France is making special arrangements to ensure our continued cooperation."
Xiao Peng glanced at Chen Zetao and said, "Is the Bank of France planning to buy all my salvaged items?"
Fabian said, "It seems they have this plan. But Zhang Qikun is quite considerate!"
Because Zhang Qikun helped him get the name of the ship "Calypso", Fabian has a good impression of Zhang Qikun.
"How do you know he's not in it for the money? Don't you think about how much more he can earn from this than from winning the business? People in finance are better at making money than us!" Xiao Peng said, "Okay, turn off your phone and let's drink! Hey, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I've never tasted this kind of wine before."
Fabian said, "I'm afraid we'll have to wait for this wine. Pascal said Ivan has come to Marseille and is on his way here."
"Ivan is here?" Xiao Peng was stunned. Is he here for Cleopatra's jewelry?
Didn't Pascal say there were four buyers? Why did one come first? This isn't very appropriate, isn't it? But Ivan already knew me, and I owed my first pot of gold to him, so I decided to welcome him.
"Alright, let's wait a little longer before drinking!" Xiao Peng said, "Damn it, I haven't tasted this wine yet! It looks so tempting that I can't drink it."
Kasim said from the side: "I haven't drunk it either! When will he come?"
Walter pushed Kasin and said, "Is the reason we can't drink this wine the same as the reason the boss can't drink it? But boss, let me tell you the truth, after working for you and drifting on the sea all year round, there are many things I can't do. This year is the first time I can't buy Romanee-Conti's 'King of Wine' because of work... In previous years, it was because of poverty! How can I possibly afford a bottle of wine that costs over 100,000 yuan!"
Xiao Peng said to Walter and Kasin: "Come on, work hard, and you will definitely be able to afford it in the future. Tsk tsk, I'm a big boss now, and I can also paint a rosy picture for my employees!"
After hearing this, Kasin hurriedly said, "Boss, you are not a boss who only makes empty promises. You are a boss with a conscience!"
Xiao Peng glared at him. "Why are you cursing? Do bosses have a conscience? If they have one, can they still be called bosses? What do you mean? Are you dissatisfied with my performance and planning to usurp the throne?"
After hearing Xiao Peng's words, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
