Chapter 513 What are you going to get next?
After complaining, Shao Feng lit a cigarette and sat there with a resentful look on his face.
Xiao Peng patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, I have a way to get him to help me."
Shao Feng was stunned. "What can I do? Forget about salvaging a sunken ship with you. He wasn't even happy about me being my assistant, saying he had a wife and kids at home who needed to be taken care of, and that he'd have to run around with me everywhere... You're not going to just give him money, are you? With his explosive temper, he'll really throw the money in your face. What a stubborn ox!"
Xiao Peng said disdainfully, "I was hoping someone would throw money in my face. He's dreaming!"
Shao Feng said helplessly: "Then how do you convince him? It's impossible to get him to come to you, and it's even more impossible to get him to buy shares from you. Your plate is too big, my money will be wasted, let alone his!"
"Eat shares? He thinks that's even better!" Xiao Peng said, "I'm not a welfare institution. We don't support idlers these days. If you want to make someone useless, the easiest way is to make him do nothing."
"Then how do you convince him?" Shao Feng asked puzzledly.
Xiao Peng said directly, "Of course, the child is the one who speaks! We can't let his child stay in our little place forever, right? If his child can go to a good school, do you think he would dare to say no? If he dares to say no, his wife will kill him!"
Shao Feng laughed after hearing this: "You are too cruel, aren't you creating family disputes for him? Can you really help him get through this?"
"It's not difficult!" Xiao Peng said, "I happen to be collaborating with the Beidu National Museum. For such a large place, I should definitely send someone I trust to help me look after it, right?"
Shao Feng gave a thumbs up after hearing this: "This is good news. I want to go over there just by listening to it!"
Xiao Peng was stunned: "What do you mean? You don't want to make money anymore?"
After hearing this, Shao Feng said, "This time, the French have finally put me through this. You say making money? How much is the limit? I've already achieved financial freedom with the money I have now. Why am I still working so hard? I say I'm saving some money for the kids, but that's just an excuse. I want to make money myself. Making money is addictive and you can't stop! I say I can't be a 'slave to money', but I still got caught in it. Financial freedom isn't the highest pursuit; freedom of the soul is the real freedom."
Xiao Peng was shocked after hearing this: "Fuck, you look more like an old man than I do!"
"You really believe it?" Shao Feng laughed. "Beidu! That's the capital of our country! I have some money, but it's nothing compared to yours. In Beidu, I'd only be considered a small tycoon. I can't even get into the upper class! Want to make a name for yourself in China? First, establish yourself in Beidu or Shanghai!"
Xiao Peng smiled: "You have quite a big ambition!"
Shao Feng spread his hands. "Everyone has ambitions. Who doesn't want to be the best? Who wants to live a life of mediocrity?"
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers: "You're right, do you really want to go to Beidu too?"
Shao Feng nodded. "I can't sell gas cylinders for the rest of my life, right? I'll just go and try to make a living there. My relatives are already annoying me. Aren't they interested in my gas cylinder factory again? Give it to them! I'm not lying to you. I still have tens of millions now. That's enough for me to live comfortably."
Xiao Peng curled his lips after hearing this: "Your money is enough for us, but why don't you go to Beidu and see? This money may not even be enough to buy a house within the Second Ring Road."
Shao Feng said, "Why buy a second ring? If you want to buy one, just buy one!"
Xiao Peng was shocked after hearing this: "Brother, it's fine if we just say this to ourselves, but don't spread it around! The first ring is the Forbidden City!"
Shao Feng laughed heartily. "I know. I'm talking about the Forbidden City! With your partnership with the National Museum, I'd be a complete loser if I couldn't even seize such an opportunity. Isn't life all about taking chances? I'm not Liu Baorong. Wouldn't it be foolish of me to not use such a powerful relationship like yours?"
Xiao Peng also laughed: "That's right! We're all brothers, so being so distant isn't a sign of being stubborn, it's just stupid! Okay, let's do this. You're the person in charge of our company's domestic operations, and you know that a lot of the stuff I salvage needs to be sold. How about I leave the handling of the goods domestically to you and Liu Baorong?"
"Sure!" Shao Feng patted his chest and said, "If nothing else, I'm just a salesman. Selling things is what I'm good at!"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines: "Don't sell the things I gave you for the price of a gas tank!"
Shao Feng laughed and said, "How is that possible! Just trust me! By the way, what are you going to do next? I'll do some market research first!"
Xiao Peng glanced at the girl sitting there and stretched out his hand to her, saying, "Give me your phone!"
The girl was stunned, but still handed the phone to Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng took the phone and saw that there was no recording or anything, so he handed it back to the girl. He walked aside and said to Shao Feng in a low voice, "What I'm going to get next is more than 700 tons of gold and some treasures of the Bonaparte family, and maybe even their crown or something like that."
"How many tons?" Although Shao Feng knew that what Xiao Peng was going to say next was very secretive because he saw Xiao Peng lowered his voice, he was still shocked when he heard the number at first.
Xiao Peng quickly said, "Keep your voice down!"
Shao Feng covered his mouth and looked at Xiao Peng in shock. He also lowered his voice and said, "Did I hear correctly? You said more than 700 tons?"
Xiao Peng nodded. "Back then, the French were plundering everywhere, lacking everything except gold. Then, the Germans robbed them of a large sum. This gold is the same one the Germans stole from the French! It's also said that the ship also contained treasured artifacts from the Bonaparte family, including jewelry. The Germans were more pragmatic, and only took things that could be exchanged for money."
Shao Feng took a breath and said, "Aren't you going to post this?"
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "Let's not talk about whether we can find this ship or not. Even if we can find it, the gold will not belong to me."
"Ah?" Shao Feng was stunned after hearing this.
Xiao Peng explained, "I reached an agreement with someone to exchange gold for something."
"Change what?" Shao Feng asked puzzledly.
Xiao Peng explained: "Some cultural relics from our country."
Shao Feng's eyes widened as he asked, "How many cultural relics can be exchanged for 700 tons of gold?"
Xiao Peng put his chin on his hand and thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe one-tenth the size of the Louvre's China Pavilion."
“…” Shao Feng was completely speechless.
Xiao Peng said, "Of course, I won't give him all the gold. I've thought it through. After all, I'm the one who salvaged it, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to keep a third, right? The treasures from this shipwreck are scattered all over the seabed. How can I search so carefully? He said 700 tons, so that's 700 tons? You must be kidding!"
Shao Feng said disdainfully: "You are not an honest businessman."
"I'm not a businessman. I'm a shipwreck salvor. You guys are the businessmen!"
