Chapter 566 It’s Really Not for Showing Off
In fact, Xiao Peng didn't say these words to Chen Zetao to show off.
Who among all the ocean exploration companies wants to have a big ship? But who does it?
If you give a person a Bugatti Veyron with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, he will have no choice but to sell it - because he cannot afford it.
Such a large offshore vessel is a heavy burden for anyone. It is best to be operated by a national team. If an individual can operate such a large work vessel, even a billionaire cannot afford it!
So, can we rent it out? Of course we can! But deep-sea salvage work is full of unexpected events. If Xiao Peng owns the boat, and he rents it out today, and Moro tells him tomorrow that he has found a sunken ship, what should he do?
Even worse, what if the person who rented his boat happened to be salvaging the same boat Moreau had found?
Furthermore, larger vessels have higher operating costs. If the discovered shipwreck is not valuable enough, there will be no profit at all, and it may even result in a loss! It is not uncommon in the deep-sea salvage industry to find a shipwreck and, before the excitement is over, calculate the costs and be left with only tears.
More importantly: this ship is flashy!
The 130-meter vessel, with two helicopter hangars and a full complement of offshore equipment, also featured a 300-meter saturation diving support chamber. This took up most of the space on the aft deck, severely impacting the vessel's operational capabilities. Operating tools like the giant hydraulic shears was extremely inconvenient, necessitating the use of a barge, further increasing costs.
For ships, sometimes it is not useful to load everything on them. Book boxes are for books, wardrobes are for clothes, and trash cans are for everything!
Saturation diving is indeed great, and manual work on the seabed is certainly much more meticulous than tools like ROVs. However, it's also true that saturation diving is slow when it comes to deep-sea salvage. Take the shipwreck coordinates Xiao Peng provided, for example: the depth is 1,700 meters, while saturation diving is only 300 meters below the sea. That's pretty useless, isn't it?
Xiao Peng has said everything he needs to say. Whether they listen or not is not his business.
Xiao Peng has always wanted to keep Chen Zetao. He felt that Chen Zetao was a bit pitiful: he was obviously a rich man, but he had too many things to carry and had to run around all day. Such a life was too tiring.
But it was no use. Even though Chen Zetao got himself drunk, he still did not forget to hurry back to France. He wanted to contact the ship in Algeria to convey Xiao Peng's opinion and the coordinates of the shipwreck.
Life is so tiring.
However, Xiao Peng was also very drunk, and since he had caused such a big trouble as soon as he arrived at the dock, he simply lay on the bed and lived a happy life as a otaku.
This time he said that he didn't want to be a public figure anymore. At first he just wanted to annoy the reporters, but when he found out that the person who scolded him was a Chinese pretending to be a Turkish student to disgust him, Xiao Peng was really disgusted!
He now suddenly understood that it was not easy for those celebrities. They were stimulated by all kinds of weird remarks every day. Without a big heart, they really couldn't stand it!
You say you don’t care what others say, but it would be strange if you don’t have any thoughts in your heart!
In fact, he really couldn't control this matter and he could accept it. It's impossible to expect everyone to speak with one voice. Even in feudal society, censors were not killed. Xiao Peng couldn't guarantee that what he said was correct. For example, didn't his suggestion of the human flesh guy cause a lot of controversy?
It's fine for ordinary people to say it, but as a public figure, every word and action is closely watched and it's easy to cause problems. These days, you can be criticized for anything you do, let alone a public figure?
What's even more amazing is that Fabian called Xiao Peng and said that the company had received a lawyer's letter from Huaxia, and they really wanted to blackmail him!
Xiao Peng’s opinion on this lawyer’s letter is: ignore it!
He has been an "Internet celebrity" for a while to satisfy his vanity, but now he has decided: I don't want to do it anymore!
This grandson also issued a statement: "I am not well-educated and lack cultivation. I couldn't stand the rumors and adopted the wrong approach. My inappropriate personal remarks have caused great trouble to society. After careful reflection, I have decided to leave the live streaming industry forever! As for the lawyer's letter from Tan Haibin of Zhicheng Law Firm, I have read it. The company's lawyers will actively fight this lawsuit!"
This announcement caused an immediate uproar and sparked all kinds of discussions on the Internet.
"Haha, he deserves it. He really thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he has money? He's finished now, right? He even encouraged human flesh hunts. That's a crime!"
"Stupid X, tell me what crime I committed? Our country has too many loopholes in this area!"
"You still think he's 'completely dead'? How can a billionaire be dead? Even if he's 'completely dead', a piece of meat he could scrape out of his teeth would be enough to earn you a lifetime!"
"I just don't understand. Are these judges stupid? It was clearly that grandson pretending to be Turkish and spreading rumors. Why don't they arrest him but instead target Xiao Peng?"
"What does this have to do with the judge? A lawyer's letter isn't a verdict. It's the lawyer's personal opinion, not the court's. Don't you understand? They hired a lawyer to scare Xiao Peng out of extortion. Billionaires are so easily intimidated. Xiao Peng is being stubborn. What lawyer, desperate for money, would take on a case like this?"
"The lawyer has a reason to take the case. After all, what Xiao Peng did wasn't very decent. How could he doxx someone just because they disagreed with him? Public figures should be mindful of their words and actions!"
"Now that they're done playing, are you happy? A public figure is no longer a human being? He's allowed to talk nonsense and can't retaliate?
"Xiao Peng is such a jerk! Wouldn't it be better to just pay him some money to keep him quiet? How much would a lawsuit cost? He'd rather fight a lawsuit than pay anyone. That's called 'being rich but unkind'!"
"So he's a billionaire and you're not! Why should he pay? We shouldn't tolerate people who extort money like this! Besides, what did Xiao Peng say during his last live broadcast? How he spends his money is none of your business."
"Isn't it enough for me to say that? How much money did he give you to speak up for him like this?"
"You're obsessed with money, aren't you? Why is morality so low these days? It's because there are so many people like you! Talking about money all the time! We're talking about 'reason' here! It's because there are too many people like you that we're afraid to help an elderly person who's fallen down! What you're saying is the same as 'Why should I help someone if you didn't hit them?'"
"Come on, what's the point of making such a fuss here? Xiao Peng might be lying in bed drinking good wine and hugging a girl, watching the joke!"
There’s a lot of arguing going on online, and there’s also a group of people in Beidu who are arguing pretty loudly!
An old man slammed the table and said, "How can Xiao Peng be so disorganized and undisciplined?"
The room, which had been noisy, suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at him in surprise.
