Chapter 681 No Need to Spend Money
Billy d'Orleans is not a poor man. After all, he is the "Prince of Beaugency" and his father is the "Count of Paris" who has the right to inherit the throne. His family has houses, land, castles, yachts and beautiful women as companions. However, he is not even as rich as his brother Tang - yes, he and Zhang Qikun, whose name cannot be separated, are cousins.
But Zhang Qikun's family was a furniture magnate, and he himself was a financial expert, so when it came to money alone, Billy was child's play. Their entire family's assets combined probably didn't even reach 500 million. And many of those assets were in stocks and real estate, with even less in cash.
As for the possibility that Xiao Peng and the other two would directly invest 5 billion euros? He didn't even dare to think about it.
"What are you going to do with 5 billion?" Billy asked.
Xiao Peng gave the answer, "Of course it's to vent my anger!"
"To vent?" Billy was confused. "Okay, let's not talk about this! We have more important things to do now!"
"What's more important?" Xiao Peng was confused.
Billy said directly: "You will know when you come out!"
"Come out? Where to?" Xiao Peng was confused. "Isn't it better to stay indoors in such a cold day?"
But Billy said, "Come out and talk!"
Fabian said, "I'll contact Zhang Cuijian and have him work with Zhang Qikun on this. We'll also have the other speculative institutions follow up. This needs to be done quickly, and we'll try to see results within a week!"
"Zhang Qikun?" Billy was stunned after hearing this.
Fabian said, "Is there a problem? Our financial affairs are handled by Zhang Cuijian and Zhang Qikun. To be more precise, Zhang Cuijian is in charge, while Zhang Qikun is the link between us and the Bank of France."
Xiao Peng explained, "Fabian, you may not know this, but Billy and Zhang Qikun are relatives. They're cousins, much like you and Xiao Pa are related. 'Zhang Qikun' is his Chinese name, and his surname is also De Orleans."
"Is there such a thing?" Fabian exclaimed.
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Isn't Europe full of nobles? Prince Khedira, tell Prince Beaugency about the history of your family!"
Billy waved his hand and said, "Idol, from now on, I beg you for one thing: please don't ever call me 'Prince' again. Being with you guys, I really feel like my title of 'Prince' is a joke."
"That's a bit boring," Fabian said. "To use Xiao's words, you're 'talking without thinking'! You were born into a family like this, so you think your 'title' is a joke. 99.99% of the people on this planet envy your title!"
Billy said, "Come on, the more so-called 'noble' one is, the more they understand the role of money. Without money, there are no connections. Without connections, the so-called 'noble' is a joke. How many people have fallen into extreme poverty while clinging to the so-called 'noble' title?"
Khedira said, "I have experience in this, Boss. Do you want me to share it with you?"
Fabian patted Khedira on the shoulder and said, "Follow your boss closely and ensure Xiao's safety. You will restore the glory of your noble family."
Khedira sighed and said, "The first one is easy, but I've already given up on the second one. Being a bodyguard for a monster is not a life experience that everyone can go through."
Walter and Kasin sighed at the same time after hearing his words. Although Boko didn't empathize with them as much as they did, he also understood what he said.
Xiao Peng stood up and said, "Alright everyone, don't think about anything else for now. Fabian, what you are going to do next is the most urgent, so you have to do it quickly."
But Fabian said, "Tomorrow! I'll go tomorrow!"
"Why tomorrow?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
"You'll find out tomorrow. Let's just have some fun today!" Fabian said, "Don't worry, I'll hand over the funds and everything to Zhang Cuijian right now. It won't interfere with our business! Don't worry, I never hesitate when it comes to serious matters."
"That's fine! I still don't understand why we have to wait until tomorrow?" Xiao Peng complained.
When Xiao Peng and the others left, he knew why.
Just over there on the white cliff not far away, a large number of people gathered. A castle-like setting had been erected there at some point, and a group of people wearing thick clothes like the 'Seven Dwarfs' in the fairy tale gathered there.
"What is this for?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Suddenly, the lights came on, and with them came the sound of electronic music that resounded across the English Channel. As the music started, cheers and applause began to emanate.
Xiao Peng was shocked and said, "Oh my god, you can even go clubbing like this?"
The temperature here is definitely not more than six degrees Celsius now, and there is a light rain in the sky. Even so, it can't dampen these people's enthusiasm for dancing?
"What you call fun is going clubbing on a rainy day?" Xiao Peng was dumbfounded.
"How interesting!" Fabian nodded in time with the music. "Dover is one of the gateways from Europe to the UK. People of all kinds flock here hoping to change their lives in the UK, so it's also a gathering place for European beauties! So... you're sure to have a good time here!"
Xiao Peng said helplessly, "What do you think we are? We are people doing serious work, how come you've turned us into a group of prostitutes?"
"Isn't it?" Fabian put his arm around Xiao Peng's shoulders and said, "Relax! You should learn how to empty yourself!"
Xiao Peng said angrily, "Just to hunt for beauties, why don't you go back and take care of our five billion dollar project?"
Fabian said bluntly, "This is just an appetizer. The main course is tomorrow! Okay, stop being so shy! We'll go our separate ways there. And let me be frank: if any of us can't pick up a girl, don't blame me for making fun of him! Pascal, I seriously doubt your abilities! Do you need my help?"
Pascal raised his middle finger and said, "You're the one who needs help, aren't you?"
Kasim grinned after listening to this: "How about we have a prize? How about we see who can pick up the girl first? I want to win some pocket money!"
Walter glared: "The boss said gambling is prohibited!"
Kasin said, "The boss is afraid of losing."
All men in the world are the same. They can tolerate hearing others say they are not good enough, but being told that they are not as good as others in picking up girls? Then no one can accept it! Xiao Peng is no exception.
Originally, Xiao Peng had no interest in this kind of thing like going to a disco in the middle of winter to pick up girls, but now after hearing what Kaxin and the others said, Xiao Peng became motivated: "Okay, let's compete!"
"Boss, you can't throw money at me! That's cheating! We have to compete based on personal charm!"
"Bang!"
