Chapter 287 A gift to Xiao Peng

"Xiao, I swear to God, if I don't hear from you again, I will hire a private detective to find your whereabouts. After Armand received a call from Xiao Peng, he quickly appeared at Xiao Peng's house.

"How did you come so fast?" Xiao Peng was shocked by the speed of Armand and Padgio, who had come not by himself, but with Padgio.

Armand said: "Of course, if you don't do it quickly, a big deal will be stolen." ”

Pagio smiled: "I happened to be in France, and after learning your news, I chartered a business jet with Armand to come over, which saved a lot of time." ”

"Wow, you two are really rich. Xiao Peng quipped: "Armand, we are friends, that's true, but in your words, business is business." I did what I promised you. I didn't inform anyone that I was back. But I don't understand, why would you want me to do that?"

Armand smiled: "Xiao, we are giving you a gift today. ”

"Gift?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

Armand said: "That's right. I found a better investor. Van Cleef & Arpels has changed its shareholders. ”

"Oh, Van Cleef & Arpels has never left Richemont?" Xiao Peng was stunned.

"That's right, someone bought the Van Cleef & Arpels brand from Richemont. "Van Cleef & Arpels has been reshuffled for half a year, and now all but 20% of the outstanding shares are in the hands of the two major shareholders. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned when he heard this: "One shareholder is you, and who is the other? I want to know who is so bold? Now that the luxury industry is generally in recession, there are still people who are so generous? ”

Pagio, who was on the side, smiled: "Xiao, the person you said should be talking about me." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "You have become partners now?"

"Yes!" said Padgio with a smile, "our partnership between Prada and Van Cleef & Arpels will be a great example of a strong combination." ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "I believe that the two of you are ready to do a big job." "Saying that, Xiao Peng was muttering in his heart, what kind of strong alliance are you, Van Cleef & Arpels needless to say, it was originally taken the route of less and finer, and the turnover was never high, and the turnover of Prada has declined for several consecutive years, and the whole two big salted fish have come together!

Pagio shook his head, "It's not us, it's the three of us." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Pagio, what does this mean?"

"Armand said you have a lot of high-quality black opals," Callio said.

Xiao Peng nodded: "It's not a secret, everyone knows it." ”

Pagio smiled: "Don't you want to use the black opal in your hand to buy shares? can't we just buy shares? And you don't just buy Jacques Fambos, you can also exchange Prada's shares according to the market price." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment: "Pagio, you are willing to take out Prada's shares?

Prada was not listed in the first place, and later Padgio began to go public to cash out in order to avoid inheritance tax. Even so, all the shares except the outstanding shares were in his hands and his wife. It's definitely a shocking thing that he's willing to take a stake.

Pagio smiled slightly: "Just my old husband and talk about juvenile madness, before entering the coffin, they can be recovered, why can't we Prada?"

"Then why are you allowing me to exchange Prada's shares?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

"Xiao, you didn't find your personal value. Didn't Prada launch the Jockey Collection when he was in Kangaroo Country, and the results were very well received, and the turnover during that period skyrocketed, which led to a rise in shares. This is the first time in three years in a row that this has happened to Prada, which is why I have so much confidence and motivation to do it. The reason why you are allowed to exchange shares is that I am optimistic about your influence. Pagio said.

Xiao Peng smiled: "You just think of me like this?"

"Of course, I've lived so long, and I don't have any other advantages than good eyesight compared to you. Pagio laughed. "We've brought a professional jewelry appraiser this time, can we take a look at the black opals, and let's assess their market prices?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "Then why not, let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Pagio heard Xiao Peng say this, "Uh, where are you going? Xiao Peng, where are those black Opals?"

Xiao Peng pointed out the window: "It's there." ”

Armand followed Xiao Peng's finger and saw the luxury yacht parked in the dock in the distance: "You put Black Opal on that yacht? That's your friend's boat? This is definitely the best yacht I've ever seen! Sitting on this big guy to go out for a lap, that's called enjoyment!"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "I was embarrassed to say that this is my ship." ”

"What?" Pageo and Armand exclaimed together! Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "Don't look like this, I'm a little scared when I look at you like this." ”

Pagio took a breath: "You damn thing, I'm so old and I still envy you as a young man!God, I regret meeting you, and I have no reason to stop!"

Xiao Peng smiled: "Let's go, go to the boat and have a look!"

Before the three of them got on the boat, they heard a banging sound, and Padgio was stunned: "Xiao, aren't you banning guns in Huaxia?

Xiao Peng also looked confused: "Let's get on the boat and take a look." ”

A few people followed the gunfire to the stern of the boat, and it turned out that Yang Meng was making trouble there! Now he was shooting flying saucers with a gun. It's just that the marksmanship is a bit bad, and I didn't see him hit one.

There are three target throwing machines in the stern of the boat, which throw targets in three directions, Yang Meng only uses one, and asks people to help throw targets, so he stoms his feet even if he can't hit his breath.

Speaking of which, equestrianism and shooting are definitely the favorite sports of Middle Eastern tycoons. For example, the deceased Prince Rashid of Dubai once won two equestrian gold medals at the Doha Asian Games.

Shooting is also a favorite sport for Middle Eastern tycoons, with Dubai's fifth prince Saeed being a skeet shooter who has competed in five Olympic Games in Sydney, Athens, Kyoto, London and Rio for two decades. However, the best result was also the Doha Asian Games, where the men's skeet runner-up.

The gatherings of the royal family and aristocrats in the Middle East are either horse racing or flying saucers. So it is not surprising that Xiao Peng can see a target throwing machine on this ship.

"Hey, Mengzi, what are you going to do with the air?" Xiao Peng smiled.

Only then did Yang Meng know that Xiao Peng and the others were coming, so he took off his earbuds and looked at Xiao Peng: "Damn, if you want to hit you, you won't be able to hit, we are not good at playing with guns." Besides, it's not my fault, it's that this gun is not good, I'm not used to it, and when I choose the right gun for me, I must be a gun god!"

Xiao Peng listened to Yang Meng's words and pouted: "Okay, I believe it." ”

On the wall behind the target machine not far from Yang Meng, there is a gun cabinet, in which there are more than a dozen double-barreled shotguns of various brands, and Yang Meng has used them all over again.

Yang Meng sighed: "Alas, it's not interesting. Pagio, Armand, why don't you try it?"

Padgio waved his hand: "No, I'm not interested in shooting, my favorite sport is golf." ”

Armand also said: "Well, I personally prefer squash and bowling. ”

Yang Meng listened to the music: "The squash ball is in front of the second floor, and the bowling ball is also there." There is a golf artificial green on the helicopter platform, and you can practice putting and teeing off. Let's play if you want to. ”

Pagio tilted his head and asked Xiao Peng, "Yang is showing off this ship, I didn't understand it wrong, right?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "That's right." That's what he's for. Fierce son, stop playing, let's go see those Opals. Someone from the profession came to give them an estimate. ”

After hearing this, Yang Meng put the gun back in the gun cabinet, put on his coat, and looked at the two men brought by Pagio: "Just these two people?

Armand thought that Yang Meng was questioning their professional competence, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Douglas and Mr. Cage are our most qualified jewelry appraisers, and they are also the most authoritative beings in the industry. Rest assured, even if they are our staff at Van Cleef & Arpels, they will definitely give you the most reasonable price. This is their work ethic. ”

Douglas looked a little older than Cage, but his temper was even more impatient, and when he heard Yang Meng's words, he snorted coldly: "This gentleman, I don't care what your identity is, but please don't question our professional ability! We have been working on gemstones for many years older than the two of you." What kind of gemstone have we never seen? Isn't it just the identification of Opal? This is not bothering us. ”

"The old man's temper is quite impulsive!" Yang Meng snorted coldly: "Why doesn't this person know what to do?"

Xiao Peng saw that there was going to be a quarrel here, so he hurriedly came out to play a round: "Two old gentlemen, Mengzi means that the workload is a bit heavy, and I am afraid that the two of you will not be able to support it!"

Xiao Peng didn't speak, but as soon as he heard Xiao Peng speak, Douglas jumped up directly: "You're only old! Your whole family is old! Isn't it just to identify gemstones? We've also seen strong winds and waves, okay! Identifying gems can still tire us?"

Armand saw that the atmosphere was not good, and hurriedly came out to play the round: "Mr. Douglas, Mr. Xiao is also well-intentioned, I am worried that your body will not be able to bear it." It's also my fault for not thinking it through, I should have asked you to bring a few assistants. ”

"We can't bear it?" said Douglas, "Armand, I started appraising jewelry at Van Cleef & Arpels when your grandfather was there! I have never heard of appraising jewelry for so many years, and I can't afford to do it! What kind of assistant do I need? What kind of work can't Cage and I finish?"

Cage also nodded and said, "Armand, what Douglas said is what I want to say, do you dislike us for being old?"

Armand didn't know what to say, Yang Meng sighed: "These two old things who don't know what to do, come on, I hope you two can finish it soon!" After speaking, he directly took out the key and opened the door of the hall on the first floor: "You guys go in and have a look." ”

Douglas snorted coldly, walked to the door of the hall, and after seeing the inside of the hall, Douglas stopped, and Cage, who was following behind, bumped into him: "Hurry up, what are you doing standing here?"

Douglas ignored him, but looked at Xiao Peng with a shocked expression: "God, are you hollowing out the entire Lightning Ridge?"
