Chapter 879 There is a letter from you
Michael Higgins said: "Xiao, everyone knows that you are hiding. There is no need for any contact method. We can only contact you through the ship's VHF, and the VHF communication range is limited, so we have been waiting for you here this way. Really, Xiao, Ireland is a beautiful place, you can have a good time here. And I want to tell you something. If you go to Dublin now, it will definitely be very troublesome."
"Is it troublesome?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Michael Higgins said: "It's not often that you see both of the Salvage King's ships docked at Dublin Port. Everyone wants to see the legendary Salvage King. So now there are a lot of tourists and news media reporters waiting for the 'Luna' and 'Calypso' at Dublin Port. You will be the focus of attention when you go there!"
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "Are you trying to trick me?"
Michael Higgins shook his head and said, "How can I trick you? Xiao, have a good time in our country. You should know that we can be said to have the best relations with China in all of Europe, right? You should experience the scenery of the island of Ireland and the hospitality of the Irish people... This won't take too long, give us five days... No, three days will be enough!"
He wasn't exaggerating when he said the two countries were friendly. In fact, Ireland is very similar to China in every way, and it's also one of those people who "quietly makes a fortune." While others are still struggling with issues like "dominance" and "left-right leaning," they are quietly making small profits, doing whatever they can.
Take China's famous Belt and Road Initiative, for example. Europe has been resistant to it, with Italy being the first to take the plunge. After all, they are the "Chinese of Europe," so their actions are understandable. However, Italy's participation in the Belt and Road Initiative has still caused a stir in Europe.
Of course, this is also a general trend. Starting from Italy, many countries have started to think about it, but Italy has been the first to be punished, and it has suffered a lot from this.
What did Ireland do? It hasn't publicly admitted to joining the Belt and Road Initiative, but it has the closest trade cooperation with China. China is Ireland's largest trading partner in Asia. Didn't you see that the Central Bank of China has opened a branch here?
"Enter the village secretly and don't shoot." China and Ireland have been developing in this way for years. When the world came to its senses, they were shocked and couldn't adapt.
Xiao Peng took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Michael Higgins, have you ever thought about this? I have my own schedule. I haven't even agreed to help you with this, and you're already interfering with my schedule? Your actions now are like kidnapping!"
"Xiao, don't worry!" Michael Higgins said, "Don't take it so seriously. Your expenses in Ireland, including your crew, will be treated with the best hospitality. By the way, here's a letter for you."
After he finished speaking, he handed Xiao Peng an envelope.
"A letter?" Xiao Peng's forehead was already bulging with blood when he took the envelope and saw the words clearly. "I blocked the door of the Ban family on my way to work. If I don't answer your call, you should write a letter. You are so classic!"
Who wrote to him? Of course it was Chen Zetao! His current refusal to contact others was also due to Chen Zetao.
While inspecting the salvage vessels in the Black Sea, Xiao Peng discovered a problem: there were Chinese "technical support" personnel on all ten ships, but their performance was not good. Xiao Peng told them to return to receive disciplinary action and let Chen Zetao handle it. After all, these people were arranged by Chen Zetao.
But Xiao Peng was also very unhappy: At that time you told me that you would arrange suitable people and I asked you to arrange them, but in the end these people you arranged were just causing trouble?
Of course, Xiao Peng could understand such a situation. Nothing in this world remains static, especially people. People change all the time. When they are in an unfamiliar environment and interact with different people, they will change!
Not to mention others, just talk about Xiao Peng, can he be the same now as before?
Xiao Peng began to hesitate whether he should read Chen Zetao's letter. Writing a letter by hand was indeed full of sincerity, but every time Xiao Peng saw Chen Zetao's "sincerity", it meant trouble.
As I said, people like Chen Zetao are worthy of respect, but it's best to stay away from him. You expect Xiao Peng to have such a high level of awareness? That's unrealistic!
Seeing Xiao Peng holding the envelope but not opening it, Michael Higgins seemed to know what Xiao Peng would do and continued, "Mr. Chen said that you don't have to read his letter, but you must read the letter at the end."
"The letter at the back?" Xiao Peng then realized there were two letters in the envelope. He opened the one at the back and frowned, "Isn't this also a letter from Brother Chen?"
Michael Higgins was also taken aback: "It's another one."
Xiao Peng opened the other letter and, at a glance, noticed the handwriting was completely different from Chen Zetao's. It was as powerful and forceful as the iron-stroked, silver-hooked lines of iron, penetrating the paper. They say "handwriting is a person's second face." Xiao Peng's first impression of this handwriting was that the author was a decisive and ruthless general.
He didn't read the content, but first looked at the signature below. After seeing the signature alone, Xiao Peng suddenly realized: it turned out to be Mr. Zheng.
Well, trouble comes again.
Xiao Peng didn't have to read Chen Zetao's letter, but he had to read Zheng Lao's letter. Xiao Peng began to read the letter in his hand.
The beginning of the letter was nothing much, just praising Xiao Peng for bringing glory to the country and establishing an international image for Chinese people. Later on, as Xiao Peng had imagined, the content elaborated on the friendly relations between China and Ireland, and hoped that Xiao Peng could lend a helping hand as appropriate.
Xiao Peng sighed. "It's 'discretion'," he said. What does 'discretion' mean? Even Mr. Zheng's personal letter arrived. Doesn't that count as 'discretion'? Chinese people, wherever they go, are bound by the customs of the world. This is unavoidable.
He put the letter back on the table. Michael Higgins was stunned: "Aren't you going to read the other letter?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I won't read it anymore. I can already imagine what's inside."
"Then...Mr. Xiao, what is your decision?" asked Alena Foster on the side.
Xiao Peng sighed and said, "I'll only wait three days! During this time, my crew members will receive the best treatment, so the expenses will be on your side!"
"Of course!" Michael Higgins answered directly.
Xiao Peng continued, "In three days, I will decide whether it can be done based on the results of your discussion. There is also one crucial point."
"Mr. Xiao, please speak!" Alena Foster said hurriedly.
"Just give me a cell phone so I can be contacted. I don't like anyone following me when I'm playing."
