Chapter 598 Three Containers
Xiao Peng stood by the side of the boat, smoking a cigarette. "I've discovered I have a tendency to be masochistic. Why would I leave my good life behind and head out to sea? And Brother Chen, what's the matter with you?"
Chen Zetao was mopping the floor. After hearing Xiao Peng's words, he looked up and asked, "Captain, what do you want?"
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Brother Chen, please stop playing tricks on me. Throw that damn mop aside!"
Chen Zetao put the mop aside and walked over, saying, "Don't mention it. I've been living a life worse than death recently. Luckily you rescued me! I got away with it by pretending to deliver a container to you. This is fucking hell! I'm telling you, if you hadn't made two big news stories recently, you'd be in trouble too."
"What trouble do I have?" Xiao Peng chuckled. "They're idiots, it has nothing to do with me! They haven't found something that I could have done within three days after I went there, so why are they blaming me? But in that case, the wealth on the sunken ship belongs to me!"
"That would be great if that's the case!" said Chen Zetao.
"Have I lied to you?" Xiao Peng asked back.
Chen Zetao stopped talking.
The Algerian marine salvage company suffered a major setback this time.
After Xiao Peng's shipwreck coordinates were given to them, they went searching for it, but to this day, the shipwreck has not been found. They have been live-streaming for so long, and every day they've only received disappointment, disappointment, and disappointment.
And this is the 'national team'! Now, whenever they start broadcasting, it's a joke... And the name 'Xiao Peng' is everywhere in the comments. It's like 'When I'm not in the arena, my legend is everywhere in the arena'.
There is a lot of pressure on them from the country now. They are now suspecting that the coordinates of the shipwreck given by Xiao Peng are false and that he is deliberately wasting the country's manpower and resources.
Just as China was preparing to ask Xiao Peng to assist in the investigation, two pieces of news suddenly emerged, leaving the Chinese at a loss as to what to do. Both of these events were "national-level" contributions. Not only did the return of cultural relics from the Old Summer Palace not only bring back a large number of them, but they also set a precedent for foreign countries to give cultural relics back to China.
Although the one-year "buffer period" makes people feel a little uneasy, this matter is related to Xiao Peng, and no one knows what happened in China. Just for this reason, Xiao Peng should not be bothered... What if Xiao Peng is unhappy and the cultural relics are returned to Germany early?
Another piece of news was even more shocking. For ordinary people, Xiao Peng's appointment as leader of the German Tri-State Deep-Sea Salvage Alliance wasn't a big deal. There were even a large group of people criticizing Xiao Peng, saying he was only working for foreigners and asking why he didn't lead the development of the domestic deep-sea salvage industry if he had the talent. However, at the national level, this matter reached a whole new level.
Germany was originally a member of the 'Cominto Cooperation Agreement' and later a member of the 'Arrangement'.
Although they entered the "CoCom" and later the "Arrangement" due to external factors: when they entered the "CoCom", Germany was still divided into two parts, and when they entered the "Arrangement", it had just been unified. Those were the times when others had the final say.
But no matter what, they are now one of the members of the "Arrangement". Being able to get close to the technical level of the "Arrangement" member countries is a big step forward for China!
Because of the two big news stories Xiao Peng had created, even if Xiao Peng really gave them a fake shipwreck coordinate, they would have no choice but to accept it. So now they really couldn't cause trouble for Xiao Peng and had to maintain a good relationship with him. So Chen Zetao, who had a good relationship with Xiao Peng, came to Norderney Island again.
Chen Zetao had a hard time during this period. After all, it was Chen Zetao who got the coordinates of the shipwreck from Xiao Peng. If the coordinates were false, Chen Zetao would definitely bear the responsibility.
Chen Zetao has been criticized a lot recently. If Xiao Peng hadn't made these two big news, he would probably have been implicated as well.
After hearing what Xiao Peng said, Chen Zetao fell silent. He now hoped that the shipwreck would not be found in the Mediterranean, and then Xiao Peng would find it and slap those people in the face!
Duan Bo came over and asked in confusion, "Boss, what are you looking for in these three containers?"
Back in Germany, Friedrich shared the same doubts as Duan Bo: "Are you sure this report is correct? Are these the things in these three containers?"
A man standing next to him replied, "Prince, the report is indeed correct. This shipment is truly bizarre. Customs have thoroughly inspected it, and they've found nothing amiss. The container used is a standard standard container rented from a regular German company, and a thorough inspection revealed nothing fishy. The delivery driver was also someone we hired. Prince, why do you think he brought all this stuff here? Is this just some rich guy's dirty trick?"
Friedrich didn't answer him. Instead, he held out his hand and said, "Give me the headphones. Make sure the simultaneous interpretation is accurate. I want to hear what he's saying."
The room he was in had over twenty screens on the wall, all showing scenes from Xiao Peng's ship! Friedrich had his men install numerous surveillance cameras on the 'Calysop', and now almost everything that happened on the 'Calysop' was under Friedrich's surveillance.
A subordinate handed him a pair of headphones. When he put them on, the "Calysop" had slowed down. Xiao Peng gathered all the people on the ship together. Now everyone was standing in front of the three containers, and Xiao Peng was standing on top of a container, looking down at everyone.
Friedrich hurriedly said, "Switch to surveillance camera number six so we can see it more clearly."
"yes!"
Meanwhile, on the Calysop, Xiao Peng coughed twice and shouted, "Brothers, are you curious why I'm suddenly organizing an 'exercise'? I bet someone's secretly saying I'm taking off my pants to fart—a waste of time!"
Some of the crew members chuckled after hearing this. Someone had indeed said that, but after all, Xiao Peng was the boss. Aren't bosses supposed to torture their employees in various ways?
Xiao Peng stood there and continued, "Don't you think I'm a bit unkind? After all, you just came back to shore and I'm dragging you out to sea again for a meaningless 'exercise'. Let me tell you two things here: you think exercises are meaningless because you're confident that you're the best. But you can't be so confident that you forget to eat just because you're the best, right? So we need to practice to stay in shape! Of course, this world is fair, at least it's fair here! Since you're all the best, you must enjoy the best! So I got some things to reward you, Walter, unpack the container!"
