Chapter 347 The Dagger Revealed
When Xiao Peng pressed the play button on his phone, the faces of those present who could understand the audio changed drastically. The audio was filled with insults. They didn't know whether to translate it for Xiao Peng.
In the eyes of these Ukrainian police, all foreign men are here to steal their women. Foreign tourists who are robbed or stolen here are unlucky and deserve it.
But they didn't expect that an ordinary Chinese tourist in their eyes actually knew Lomachenko.
They are police officers and of course they understand the complicated relationships between people in Kiev better. To put it bluntly, the whole of Kiev is a world where whoever has money has the final say.
Screw 'Han Democracy'! Aren't all these so-called 'Han Democracy protests' driven by wealthy individuals acting for their own benefit? Western 'Han Democracy' is just a fig leaf used by politicians to deceive the people!
"Boss." Walter walked to Xiao Peng: "It seems that what they said is not easy to translate!"
Pascal complained, "This is what you get for leaving us out to play!"
Xiao Peng looked at Lomachenko and asked, "Mr. Lomachenko, is this difficult to translate?"
Lomachenko came back to his senses and smiled at Xiao Peng. "Mr. Xiao, why do you need to know what these idiots are talking about? Don't let them spoil your appetite. Let's go eat first. When I was studying Chinese, I learned a saying: 'A great man does not remember the mistakes of a small man.'"
Xiao Peng frowned. Is he trying to smooth things over?
Lomachenko glanced at the officer who had spoken and said, "Don't worry, you'll be dealt with for the things you lost before dinner and for those foolish words. Leave this matter to my people."
Ou Jia also advised: "Xiao, let's leave here. The police station is not a good place."
Xiao Peng glanced at Olga and took a deep breath. "Since you said so, let's eat first." He took out his phone and sent a few photos to Walter. "Walter, ask Khedira to check the people in the photos."
He was really in a bad mood this time.
Why would a great man forget the faults of a small man?! Why do I work so hard to make money? Isn't it just to avoid being bullied? If any dog or cat comes up and bites me, I won't make any money!
Because of this little episode, Xiao Peng was still in a bad mood at Lomachenko's dinner.
All he could do on the whole journey was feel humiliated! Could anyone, human or demon, step on him? Turkey had provoked him, but that was a country he couldn't handle. And when a thief stole from him here, it was carelessness on his part. But when he was the victim and had to endure the injustice at the police station, Xiao Peng couldn't stand it!
He really couldn't swallow this!
After dinner, Lomachenko even arranged a rooftop cocktail party for Xiao Peng. Unable to refuse the invitation, Xiao Peng and Lomachenko went up to the rooftop of the hotel.
The place has been set up, with a DJ booth, wine cabinet, lights, etc., but there is no one here - there is no outsider here except Lomachenko's men.
"Hmm?" Xiao Peng frowned slightly. Shouldn't a cocktail party be lively? Why was there no one in sight?
Lomachenko noticed Xiao Peng's confusion and waved to one of his men. The man came over with a bag in his hand.
When Xiao Peng saw the bag, he was stunned. Isn’t this the bag that was stolen from him?
"Mr. Xiao, your bag. How do you say that word? 'Return the jade intact to Zhao'!" Lomachenko waved his hand at his men again: this time his men handed him a few photos.
He handed the photo to Xiao Peng, which contained three bloody faces.
"This is the guy who stole your things and the two policemen who insulted you," Lomachenko said calmly.
Xiao Peng frowned and looked at the photo.
Lomachenko smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Xiao. It's just a minor lesson. Their lives are not in danger. This is just to help you vent your anger. At the same time, it's also to thank you for helping my daughter."
"To help me vent my anger?" Xiao Peng narrowed his eyes and looked at Lomachenko. He felt that Lomachenko was more like threatening him.
Lomachenko nodded: "Of course it's to help you vent your anger. Have a drink? I heard that you like the 2005 Nicolas Feuillatte champagne?" He snapped his fingers, and a waitress came over with a bottle of Nicolas Feuillatte champagne.
Lomachenko opened the champagne, poured two glasses, and handed one to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, I heard that you run the best deep-sea salvage company?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm just a small company. We're far behind the American Odyssey in terms of scale, number of people, history, and salvage achievements."
He wasn't being polite. Odyssey was the undisputed leader in the deep-sea salvage industry, dominating the industry. However, Odyssey's salvage efforts were concentrated in the North Atlantic, which had caused some frustration in the Mediterranean. After finally salvaging a shipwreck in the Mediterranean, they were blackmailed by Spain.
From then on, they no longer came to the Mediterranean. Although there were ocean exploration companies in the countries along the Mediterranean coast, they were all small-scale.
Lomachenko shook his head. "Mr. Xiao, you Chinese people really don't need to be so humble sometimes. It's no secret that you became a billionaire in less than two years."
Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "It's just luck."
Lomachenko said, "Be it luck or skill, your salvage achievements during this period are unmatched, not even Odyssey."
Xiao Peng looked at Lomachenko and said, "Mr. Lomachenko, just speak frankly. I can see that you didn't do all this to thank me for helping your daughter, but to show me your strength. I just can't understand your purpose in doing this."
"Purpose?" Lomachenko smiled slightly. "Mr. Xiao, you are a smart man, so you should know what problem you are facing now."
"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it." Xiao Peng looked at Lomachenko.
Lomachenko said: "You may be rich, but you don't have any background."
Xiao Peng looked at Lomachenko with a smile: "I understand what you mean. You are saying that I am a nouveau riche. Okay, I admit that I am a nouveau riche. So how do you plan to help me solve this problem?"
Lomachenko smiled and said, "I just like dealing with smart people. You've been in Europe for so long, you should know how complicated the relationships are in Europe, and I have dealings with all kinds of relationships. Mr. Xiao, how about we work together?"
"Cooperation? How to cooperate?" Xiao Peng looked at Lomachenko.
After hearing this, Lomachenko said, "I want to invest in your ocean exploration company. Hmm... How about this, um, I'll invest $100 million, and with my connections and abilities, all you need is 51% of your shares!"
Xiao Peng laughed instead of getting angry after hearing this: "Oh? What if I refuse?"
"No?" Lomachenko took out a cigar and lit it. "That's not an answer in my vocabulary."
