Chapter 525 What did you call me?
It can be seen that Billy is not a frequent boat driver. He tried to dock his boat next to Xiao Peng's sailboat, but he was so stupid that he tried to stop several times but failed. Finally, Kasim threw him a rope and asked him to pull the rope to bring the boat closer.
Only then did Xiao Peng carefully observe this 'Prince Bogancy'.
To be honest, this guy is not ugly, with gray eyes and black hair. If there is any problem, it is that his hairline is a little high. I feel that in a few years he will become the next Zidane.
Let you drink raw water!
People around the world don't understand why the Chinese drink hot water. Over a century ago, even the Chinese themselves mostly drank raw water. It was only after the founding of the People's Republic of China, with its vigorous promotion of "Love Hygiene" campaigns and the promotion of hot water drinking, that the Chinese people's habit of drinking hot water became established. This is a unique practice worldwide!
Foreigners drink tap water straight from the tap, unlike in China where they boil it before drinking. Xiao Peng also tried tap water in France after taking just one sip, then decided to boil it again: "The strong smell of bleach in this water is really unbearable!" Also, notice how foreigners, both men and women, tend to lose hair as they age, which is largely due to the water quality!
Many international students follow the local customs and drink cold water when they go abroad. However, after drinking it for a while, their hair starts falling out in clumps, and they all start drinking hot water instead.
Will rich people also lose hair if they only drink mineral water?
I don’t know about other countries, but it happens in France too.
What Chinese people call "mineral water" is called "natural mineral water" in France. What they value most is the word "natural". Slogans like "twenty-seven layers of filtration" in certain domestic water advertisements will not appear here. The mineral water here is basically the same as the water from its place of origin.
This is actually illegal in France because there are strict drinking water treatment regulations, but "natural mineral water" does not have to comply with these regulations because "natural mineral water" must guarantee natural ingredients and various minerals!
Take "Evian," for example. While it's become synonymous with high-end mineral water in China, it's actually considered a mid-range brand in France. Evian's water is sourced from the Alps, drawing on snow and rain from the mountains. Its generous portions aren't expensive at all...
So what's the expensive natural mineral water here? Take Vittel, for example. Its water comes from the National Water Conservancy in the Vosges Mountains of France, and its production is extremely limited. Over 95% of Michelin three-star restaurants worldwide use Vittel's water.
Although Vitale is famous, it is not the most expensive. The most expensive is Waterville mineral water. Farmers in the place of origin are not allowed to use pesticides and the number of cars is strictly controlled, all for the sake of its naturalness!
Xiao Peng didn't know how beneficial this mineral was to the body, but hair loss was certain: a look at Billy's head would give him the answer.
Xiao Peng now has "Waterville" mineral water on his boat, but he also boils it and drinks it. Even if the nutritional content is low, Xiao Peng accepts it: it's better than becoming bald, right?
Billy was about to board Xiao Peng's sailboat when Walter pointed his gun at him and said, "Put your gun down!"
"Gun?" Billy was stunned and then came to his senses: "Oh oh oh, this one, don't worry, there are no bullets in it!" After saying that, he wanted to take the gun off his back!
As a result, his action directly led to two more guns being pointed at him.
Walter said, "Don't move. Turn around and I'll take the gun off for you."
Billy didn't resist after hearing this: "Don't get excited, brother. Can't I just turn around? Mr. Xiao, your bodyguard is really responsible."
"They are all my friends." Xiao Peng said lightly.
"Sorry, sorry, I used the wrong words!" Billy said, then turned around and asked Walter to take off his gun. "Um, can I get on the boat now?"
Walter didn't answer him, but said directly: "Damn!"
Xiao Peng was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Walter handed the shotgun to Xiao Peng, and Xiao Peng took a breath after taking it.
This gun is a single-barreled hunting rifle. At first glance, it looks very old, like an "antique gun", but Xiao Peng can see that the gun is no more than 30 years old. A gun of this "age" cannot be considered an antique at all.
But Xiao Peng had a surprised expression.
The appearance of this gun is not outstanding. If you have to say what makes it different, it is that the bolt is carved into the shape of an eagle's claw grasping a small ball. If you look closely, you will see embossed eagle patterns on the upper muzzle and the end of the barrel.
Xiao Peng recognized the gun; it was a handmade hunting rifle produced by the Swedish company Viggo-Olsson.
This gun is not expensive for Xiao Peng's current financial resources. The market price is "only" 800,000 Euros, but the problem facing Xiao Peng is: he can't buy it even if he has money!
Because only a few of these guns are produced each year, all the accessories are handmade! A small wooden stock requires over 300 hours of polishing!
Is it okay to buy it from someone else at a high price?
No way!
Each gun is custom-made to the user's height and arm length, with adjustments to the length and buttstock angle. The goal is to ensure comfort while maintaining perfect balance and firepower! Furthermore, they provide exceptional customer service tailored to the user's experience.
A person who is willing to spend so much money to buy their guns wants this series of services. If you spend so much money to buy a gun that is not suitable for you and don’t enjoy those additional services, wouldn’t that be a loss?
Is it okay for Xiao Peng to customize one now?
It’s not impossible!
To be more precise, Xiao Peng had actually contacted Vi-ao, wanting to order a few double-barreled shotguns specifically for skeet shooting. The Vi-ao representative responded directly and politely, "Sir, we're glad you approve of our guns, but the line for pre-orders is already 42 years long. Would you like to join the queue?"
Xiao Peng ran faster than a rabbit at that time.
Forty-two years later? Your company's existence is still a question!
As a nouveau riche, Xiao Peng still doesn't understand the consumption concepts of these rich people. He still needs to learn!
However, Xiao Peng really wants a good gun. After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future. Maybe one day Xiao Peng will have the urge to participate in the Olympics to shoot clay pigeons, right?
He looked at Billy who had just boarded the boat in confusion and asked, "Why are you coming to me with a good gun?"
Before he could ask Billy, Billy saw the champagne bucket next to Xiao Peng, took out the chilled champagne, poured himself a glass, and took a sip: "Idol, is this a German sparkling wine bar? Not bad, not bad, it has a unique flavor."
"Wait, what did you call me?"
