Chapter 630: Seeking Excitement
Their meal was certainly not just grilled lamb ribs. When his lamb chops were ready, the doorbell rang again. Shao Feng opened the door and a waiter came in with a dining cart. Inside was a sumptuous Chinese meal. The waiter carefully set the table for the two of them. Xiao Peng gave him a tip and he thanked him and left.
"Where did this come from?" Shao Feng asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng said, "Miss Tianluo sent it!"
Shao Feng raised his middle finger: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm three years old?"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "No, no, no, you shouldn't understand 'Snail Girl' when you're three years old. You should be five now! Wash your hands and eat!"
Shao Feng exclaimed: "This cooking skill is quite good! Where did it come from?"
Xiao Peng said helplessly, "Of course I bought it! Although I have a kitchen and everything here, I still order food most of the time. There are 27 restaurants and 7 bars in this building. Whatever cuisine you want, they can deliver it to you. You don't even have to leave the house."
Shao Feng whistled: "You really know how to enjoy life!"
"What you said is true. Everyone can enjoy life. The only difference is whether they are rich or poor." Xiao Peng said.
Shao Feng exclaimed, "Your house is almost as big as a castle, right? How big is it?"
Xiao Peng pointed at the balcony and said, "Including the balcony, it's over 700 square meters. But we can just talk about this between the two of us. This house can't be compared to a castle. How big is a castle? I thought about buying a castle at the time, but later gave up the idea."
"Why? Can't you afford it? I hope you have enough money." Shao Feng asked.
Xiao Peng shook his head. "It's uncomfortable to live here! How great is this place? It's a fully intelligent room, and the key is that there's something here that I can't refuse."
"Can't refuse?" Shao Feng smiled wickedly after hearing this: "Don't tell me there's a 'love room'!"
Xiao Peng raised his middle finger. "How did you become a hooligan? Let me tell you, the original owner of this house was a very famous French music producer. Besides the usual household necessities, this house also has a recording studio and a full set of recording equipment! Now I play all kinds of things, and the soundproofing in here is so good, I can even play the suona without any problem."
"Why? Is he willing to transfer such a nice house to you even though he's bankrupt?" Shao Feng asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng curled his lips after hearing this and said, "I'm talking about Grammy winner David Guetta, who ranked first in last year's 'Top 100 DJs'! Does he need money?"
"How much money can a DJ make?" Shao Feng asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly, "Dude, the national conditions are different. In Europe, the most profitable people are electronic music singers. They have countless fans, and any beat they make can sell hundreds of thousands. They make their money primarily from downloads, potentially earning hundreds of millions from a single song. Here, there aren't so many free downloads. Downloading songs almost always costs money. Do you know why YouTube is so popular in the West? It's because you can watch music videos and listen to songs for free. Here, it's common for people who were previously unknown to become extremely wealthy after a song goes viral. Take, for example, the song 'Despactio.' The music video has over 6 billion views. Even if only one percent of those people downloaded it, they could still make hundreds of millions! Now you understand why so many people in Europe and America are involved in music, right?"
Shao Feng whistled: "It's a pity that I don't have this talent! But do you have this talent?"
Xiao Peng laughed heartily. "You don't know this, do you? My apprentice is currently collaborating with an electronic music producer on a multi-style electronic music album. He just asked me to record some samples a few days ago, including suona and erhu!"
Shao Feng was stunned after hearing this: "Suona? Erhu?"
Xiao Peng said helplessly, "Other people might be surprised, but why are you surprised? Didn't I perform at art festivals when we were in school? When I was a kid, I played all kinds of music and sang at other people's funerals!"
Shao Feng said, "Of course I know you can play the suona and erhu, but you combine them with electronic music? Damn, isn't this a classic 'disco on a grave'?"
Xiao Peng laughed out loud: "Your description is very vivid! Just because you said that, I must work hard with them on this album during this period! I'll play a song for you after dinner."
Shao Feng shook his head like a rattle: "Forget it, forget it, you should just focus on playing with foreigners...Wow, this cooking skill is pretty good!"
"Of course he's great!" Xiao Peng said. "I heard he was a state banquet chef. I wanted to hire him as my personal chef, but then I thought about how long I'd be living here, so I gave up the idea."
"You idiot!" Shao Feng said after hearing this: "From now on, if anyone calls me a 'tycoon' again, I'll fight them. Isn't that just insulting?"
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "What's that to me? Those old-school aristocrats are the ones who are so particular. I once had dinner with a German prince, and the whole meal took me several hours. I almost flipped the table in my frustration!"
Shao Feng suddenly became curious and asked, "Why don't you drink?"
Xiao Peng said, "I have things to do tonight, so I won't drink. You've come all this way and you haven't adjusted to the time difference yet, so you should have a good rest. You don't have to clean up the dishes, someone will be here to clean them up soon. I'll be out for a while tonight."
"What are you going to do?" Shao Feng asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng grinned and said, "Of course I'm going to find excitement!"
"Looking for excitement?" Shao Feng became interested: "Take me with you. I've been sleeping all the way on the plane. I can't rest even if you ask me to."
Xiao Peng asked in return: "Do you know where I'm going?"
"Where are you going?" Shao Feng asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng gave the answer: "I'm going to Province 93! Aubervilliers."
Shao Feng took a deep breath. "Province 93? Aubervilliers? What are you doing there?"
The 93rd département in France is right next to Paris and considered an extension of the city, but the Chinese Embassy has publicly warned Chinese tourists against visiting it. Chinese travel agencies are explicitly prohibited from arranging Paris tours to stay in hotels in the 93rd département. This is due to the poor security situation there. Government-built low-rent housing is everywhere, and the streets are filled with homeless people. One-third of Parisian women have openly stated that they would not date someone from the 93rd département.
But it is also a place where Chinese people gather in France. There is a city called Aubervilliers there, which is the largest Chinese clothing wholesale gathering place in Europe. However, there are really countless crimes against Chinese people there. There have been a large number of Chinese people marching in the area to protest against the poor local security.
But it doesn't matter, the security there is still very poor.
In fact, any attempt to generalize from a single point is just rogue behavior. There are also places with good public security in the 93 provinces, such as the "City of Gournay-sur-Marne" in the east. If it were in China, it would be just a small town - or a village, but the public security there is very good.
However, the public security in the entire 93 provinces is still poor in general, and Aubervilliers is even worse and is called the "Crime Capital" by the locals. When Shao Feng heard that Xiao Peng was going there, could he not ask a few more questions?
Xiao Peng grinned mysteriously: "Why go there? I told you! Go find some excitement!"
