Chapter 1399 You Did Dig Up My Family’s Ancestral Grave
In fact, upon hearing the news William brought back, Xiao Peng was relieved: at least a son hadn't suddenly appeared. Although he usually recommended using a small umbrella, where could he find such a thing on an uninhabited island? It wouldn't be surprising if Paula was really pregnant at the time.
He felt like he was still a child. If a son really fell from the sky, Xiao Peng would not know how to raise this child. Now that he knew it was a misunderstanding, Xiao Peng felt much more relieved.
But it was easy, and Xiao Peng was getting more and more annoyed with William! It seemed like he was deliberately teasing him today! Not only was he talking and breathing heavily, but now he was telling him that the kid's name was Xiao Peng?
William spread his hands and said, "This matter really has nothing to do with me. Can I come forward directly? I was also shocked when they told me the news. Maybe the parents also hope that the child will be as outstanding as you!"
Xiao Peng didn't know what to say after hearing this. Finally, he pointed at the copper coin on the ground and said, "William, this is your ancestor's, isn't it? Move it away and take it back to the Netherlands. I won't get involved in your Dutch affairs!"
William grinned: "I'm here to solve this problem."
"Oh?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "Then how do you plan to solve it?"
William said, "Of course, take it back to The Hague! Don't fight over Rotterdam or Amsterdam. The Hague is the real administrative center of the Netherlands."
Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "How dare you say that? There's no airport in The Hague. If you fly back to The Hague, you'll either land in Rotterdam or Amsterdam. If you go by land, you'll definitely have to pass through Amsterdam. No matter how you bring them back to the Netherlands, you'll have to pass through these two cities."
William said proudly: "I am the King of the Netherlands. Applying for a low-altitude free route is not a problem."
Xiao Peng suddenly realized and said to William: “That’s great, then you should move your things away quickly!”
William suddenly said, "But... the Dutch Parliament is already embroiled in a tug-of-war. After all, some people care about the interests of Rotterdam, while others care about the interests of Amsterdam. This affects the interests of different parties. It's difficult to apply for a new low-altitude airspace right now."
Xiao Peng was stunned: "You are the king, and you can't even apply for it?"
William spread his hands: "The King of the Netherlands cannot meddle in politics."
Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at him. "Going to a grave and burning newspapers, are you trying to trick the ghosts? Aren't you involved in enough things?"
William coughed dryly and said, "That's different, that's different."
Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "Politicians' words are deceiving. So what are you going to do next?"
William grinned wickedly. “But I know there’s a low-altitude free route, um, from the former Meuse River to the North Sea estuary directly to Delft.”
After hearing this, Xiao Peng jumped up as if he had been pricked by a needle in the buttocks. "William! Are you planning to kill me? Have I offended you? Have I dug up your family's ancestral graves?"
The low-altitude route William was talking about was the airspace specially approved by the Netherlands for Xiao Peng. This allowed Xiao Peng to return home to Delft directly by helicopter without having to go through the Rotterdam port. William talked so grandly, but in the end, he still wanted Xiao Peng to do this?
William coughed dryly twice. "Xiao, in a sense, you did dig up my family's ancestral graves. Look, you donated my ancestral Eikenhorst Villa to Daxia as an embassy, and now you live in Orange Garden."
Xiao Peng covered his face, and had to admit that what William said made sense.
William continued, "Xiao, don't worry. I'm with you this time. Even if people want to cause trouble, they'll find me, right? Anyway, getting the things back is the most important thing. You can't stay here forever, right? Don't you want to go back and have a good rest and enjoy life?"
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "Don't mention it. You really hit the nail on the head. A few days ago, Albrecht Heidegger came to me and told me that making money is addictive. In fact, rest is more important to me."
William suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Xiao, I heard that you have a batch of gold?"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: "How did you know?"
It seems that the news of his discovery of Na Cui's wealth has been leaked. Now I don't know whether it was leaked by someone on the ship or by Albrecht.
William said, "It's not a secret. It's gold. Many people are eyeing it. The French, Germans, British, Swiss... and of course us."
Xiao Peng coughed dryly and said, "William, you should know what this gold is, right? You should also know that I haven't disclosed the coordinates of the shipwreck, so it can't be sold, right?"
William said, "I heard that these are gold teeth brought out from Nazi concentration camps, right?"
Xiao Peng's eyes widened. "Yeah! Maybe there are relics of your Dutch compatriots who died in the war! That's why I never thought of selling this gold! I planned to put it there for exhibition so people can reflect on the war. Besides, there's not much gold, so it's not worth making a fuss about it."
William said, "No matter how they came from, no matter whether they are gold teeth or not, they are gold after being melted. How much do you say you don't have?"
Xiao Peng answered truthfully, "It's only a little over 23 tons, and I don't know if the gold is pure or not, so I don't plan to sell it. Anyway, I haven't announced the location of the shipwreck."
"Only 23 tons?" William exclaimed. "Come on! Xiao, the Netherlands' entire gold reserves are only 612 tons! Two-thirds of the countries in the world have less than 20 tons of gold in their entire national reserves! You actually said 'only'?"
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "Compared to my original discovery, this is indeed not much."
"You're awesome, okay?" William said helplessly, "Then how much did you bring back?"
When Xiao Peng heard this, he had the answer in his mind - Albrecht didn't know that he had shipped the things back to the country.
"Five tons!" Xiao Peng said, "You know I have a partner."
William said directly: "Xiao, these golds must be given to me and converted according to the international gold price."
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "William, Fabian has the final say on how to deal with these things. Why are you telling me? I don't know what Fabian thinks, but Pascal probably wouldn't be willing to melt these gold teeth into gold. So how to deal with them is still a problem. And you know, they are French and prefer to cooperate with France."
"Damn it!" William said, "Xiao, we are good friends! Let's not talk about the artwork you found, but you have to sell the gold to us no matter what! You live in the Netherlands now, don't you?"
"Live in the Netherlands?" Xiao Peng sighed. "William, I've almost forgotten what my home looks like. Never mind. After all, you've been running around for me for so long, and you even made a decision for me. I'm giving this batch of gold to you, the Netherlands!"
"Decision?" William was stunned: "What decision did I make for you?"
