Chapter 921 No Gift This Time
Xiao Peng said to the camera, "I just said that the 'South Yorkshire Horseshoe' was a ship that was going to the Americans to dump goods. Now I think my guess is wrong. This ship was probably going to Ireland to dump tea. After all, the Americans were carrying out the 'No Tea Movement' at the time. These tea and cloth should have been sold to Ireland, and the remains in the 'Rabbit's Foot' should belong to Irish refugees. One of the greatest famines in human history was the Great Irish Famine. A quarter of the Irish population starved to death, and millions were forced to flee their homes. I speculate that these remains are those of the Irish who fled that time. The unfortunate fate of the Irish is still the fault of Britain."
Xiao Peng lit a cigarette and said slowly, "In 1169 AD, the British obtained sovereignty over Ireland from the Pope. Since then, Britain has been invading Ireland under the pretext of 'rebuilding the social order in Ireland'. In 1542, King Henry VIII of England directly became the King of Ireland. For hundreds of years, Ireland was actually a 'farm' of the British, and the Irish were the British's 'servants', working like slaves for the British nobles. The British introduced tea in 1662. And what about the Irish? It was not until 1830 that tea culture gradually emerged. Those Irish nobles began to learn from the British nobles and held tea parties to keep in touch. Later, tea was introduced from the upper class. As the class system spread, ordinary people could also get tea. However, the tea they could get at that time was all of poor quality and strong tea. If they wanted to make it taste good, they had to add a lot of cream and milk to it. Over time, their way of drinking tea was passed back to Britain and became a new way for the British to drink tea. During the Irish Famine, Britain did not send food to Ireland, but sold tea there to squeeze the last of the Irish people's hard-earned money. The Irish families that survived that period would also have teapots and a few teacups. It feels like drinking tea is more like a belief and persistence of the Irish that has persisted to this day. Now Ireland is one of the three countries in the world that drink the most tea. "
After Xiao Peng finished speaking, someone suddenly refreshed the screen:
“Nonsense!”
"Britain is a country of gentlemen. How could they do such a thing?"
"This is impossible! You are slandering me!"
"How could a British man, gentleman, or lady do such a thing? You'll be sued if you spread rumors like this!"
"British men are so handsome and gentlemanly. Chinese men can't compare. What's going on? You think they're not as handsome as you, so you spread rumors and slander their image?"
I don't know where these "British fans" came from. When they heard what Xiao Peng said, they became anxious and began to refute Xiao Peng's words.
Of course, some people couldn't stand it anymore and retorted: "Hey, have you ever been to school? If you've studied world history, you'll know all this!"
"Almost all of the world's historical problems today are caused by the British. The India-Pakistan conflict, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the southern Tibet issue, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the Sri Lankan civil war... which one is not a root of trouble left by the British?"
"That's right, Britain is the troublemaker in the world! The kind that stirs up trouble everywhere!"
But those 'British fans' didn't listen to them at all.
"These things must be lies made up by Britain's enemies!"
"That's right! Show me the evidence."
"You're saying bad things about England like you've seen it with your own eyes!"
Watching the heated debate in the comments, Xiao Peng shook his head. "Stop arguing! There's a certain type of person in our country. Speak ill of foreigners to them, and it's like digging up their ancestral graves. They wouldn't even be upset if you cursed their own parents. These people have one thing in common: their lives are far from satisfactory. Instead of considering their own problems, they blame the country, believing their misfortunes are all caused by the country. They feel that moving to a foreign country will change their lives. They're as naive as kindergarten kids: "You can't even make it in your own country, so how can you do well in a new environment with completely different habits and language?"
"How dare you say that about us? Didn't you make your fortune abroad? If you think your country is better, why did you leave?"
"Are we not living a satisfactory life? We are living a very happy life!"
The barrage of comments started to appear.
Xiao Peng shook his head. "Using me as a negative example? Kids, I'm fluent in more than five languages. My shooting skills are good enough to compete in the Olympics, and I'm sure to win a gold medal. With just my nod, I can represent my country in the Olympics. I can participate in weightlifting, track and field, and other events. And what about you? Watching the live broadcast on your phones, relying on some stupid words to attract attention? You're still secretly happy when I scold you, right? Finally, someone pays attention to you! How pathetic!"
"Okay, that's enough for today's live broadcast. I'm not going to salvage these two ships anymore. I'm going to give them to the Irish side so they can inspect the two shipwrecks. They might be the victims of their compatriots. I've also decided to give this large distiller to the Old Booth Mills Distillery."
People on the barrage started to comment: "Aren't you losing money?"
"You're just going to donate it to them?"
“How do you calculate the capital you invested here?”
Xiao Peng saw these comments and shook his head. "Forget the money. There are so many shipwrecks on the seabed. There's no point in salvaging one more or one less. We Chinese are kind by nature. With so many remains and so many tragic lives, I don't want to negotiate money with them. It's pointless. I won't come here to salvage in Ireland unless it's necessary. The tragic scene on the seabed just now... Sigh, it was too tragic. Okay, let's do the live broadcast after we find the shipwreck this time. I really don't feel like talking about it anymore."
Seeing that Xiao Peng was about to end the broadcast, the comments began to flash: "You haven't given any gifts today!"
"We won't watch your live stream anymore without gifts!!"
Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this and said, "Very good, don't watch my live broadcasts from now on! Bad habits really are ingrained. You won't watch if you don't give me gifts? I begged you to watch? Do you think I want to live broadcast? I don't know how many of my competitors are wondering what I'll do next. I live broadcast to communicate with them! Others live broadcast to make money, but what about me? I spend money every time I live broadcast! Today I directly took out 1 billion euros! There are hundreds of wreckages on the seabed now, and I'm feeling so bad here, and you're still thinking about gifts? I want to ask you: Are you fucking human? Were you all picked up from garbage cans and raised on other people's food? You have no manners at all! No humanity at all! Don't say you've watched my live broadcast when you go out in the future. I can't afford to lose face! Ending the broadcast!"
