Xiao Peng didn't know that he had been targeted at this time, and they were now talking and laughing and driving to Sherington.

Yang Meng's shout came over the radio: "Hey, Chris, are you sure there will be that rodeo? This road is wide, and there is no one! Are you sure we are going the right way?"

"Don't worry, you can just drive and follow us. According to the map, it will be another twenty kilometers to arrive. Chris looked at the navigation. "Shaw, you're in awesome car! I've always wanted to ask you, is this really Shelby?" Chris said and pointed to the co-pilot's unknown Shelby signature.

Xiao Peng nodded: "That's right, this is a Shelby." But not Mr. Carroll Shelby, but his son's work. The same goes for the Portsmouth in the back. ”

"Wow, these two cars should be expensive, right?" asked Chris.

Xiao Peng nodded and said, "It's okay." It's still bearable. He didn't say how much these two cars were, Chris and the others were not a few years younger than them, and they drove such an expensive car, and they had to travel on a budget, which really hit Chris and them.

Chris took a breath: "Look at the two of you really don't look like rich people, very approachable, and you eat for free food to challenge records." I didn't expect you guys to drive such a good car. ”

"Then what do you think a rich man should look like?" Xiao Peng smiled: "Okay, Chris, maybe I said this, you think I stand up straight and don't have a backache when I speak." Because now I'm really rich, and I'm the kind of person who really has achieved financial independence. Or let me tell you this, as long as I don't engage in those ethereal collectible luxuries, as long as I don't run into Lehman Brothers and Enron, I basically have no worries about food and clothing in my life. And I can live a very chic life. ”

The bankruptcy of Lehman triggered the Wall Street crisis, and the subprime mortgage crisis affected the whole world, and the bankruptcy of Enron, one of the top 10 investment companies in the Stars and Stripes, was no less influential than the bankruptcy of Lehman. Now on the streets of the Stars and Stripes, a considerable number of homeless people are thanks to these two companies.

Speaking of this, Xiao Peng lit a cigarette: "Everyone's pursuit is different, many people hope that they will become people like Bezos (Amazon boss, now the richest man in the world), Bill Gates, Buffett, Mark Burger, but when you make enough money to meet all your expenses and have a huge amount of leftover, money is just a string of numbers for you." ”

"I don't lie to you, more than a year ago, I was just a handyman who earned more than $400 a month, and people change really quickly. Xiao Peng said to Chris.

When Chris heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Then how did you make so much money in such a short time?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "Maybe it's because I've found a way to make money that really suits me." Everyone has a path that suits him, but not everyone can find it. Alibaba's Jack Ma, you know? He turned out to be a teacher. That's a good job, isn't it? But he doesn't think that's the right path for him. Without anyone understanding, go for an e-commerce that a lot of people don't know what it is. As a result, you see, Jack Ma has found a path that suits him. ”

"What's the right path for you?" asked Chris.

Xiao Peng thought for a while and replied: "Maybe now your answer will feel very cheap, but this is really my true thoughts, I think the path that suits me is to be normal, try to make myself happy, I swear to God, I really don't value the accumulation of wealth, I won't waste my time and energy on the pursuit of wealth, that's really boring, and the sense of achievement that money brings me is very low." And I'm very content, I think I'm eating, wearing, living and traveling very well, at least I think it's good. In our Chinese words, this is called contentment and happiness, and then on the basis of this contentment, I found that my wealth is getting more and more, maybe things in the world are like this, you don't care too much, and you will often get better results. ”

Listening to Xiao Peng's words, Chris fell into deep thought, Xiao Peng didn't feel that he was fooling him. There are really many things in the world like this, the more you care about something, the more you will lose something: the first love you care about the most can often only be the memories you have in watching the movie "Predecessor 3", and the money you care about the most often leaves you when you pay off your credit card.

Xiao Peng never thought that wealth could make him feel happy. Let's take the behavior of showing off wealth as an example, some people show off their wealth in order to bring popularity in exchange for more wealth, such as Hilton, Principal Wang, etc., which is understandable, but showing off wealth for the sake of showing off wealth, in Xiao Peng's eyes, is brain-dead behavior. Maybe it's because Xiao Peng is used to being poor, and he doesn't understand the meaning of buying a limited-edition brand-name bag for hundreds of thousands of dollars like that.

It may be that those people need to use such a method to prove their existence and social status? Please, isn't social status accumulated by relying on a brand-name bag? Xiao Peng's current house, boat, watch, clothes, and car, he didn't deliberately strive for it, and the result was there. And then look at the end result of those who care about this wealth, and even those who take risks to go down the path of crime for them?

Why bother?

The car fell into deep thought for a moment and continued to move on, and when the car approached Sherington, there was already a long queue on the unobstructed road along the way. There are a lot of people who come here to watch the game!

The two cars followed the traffic to the event site, and saw the big advertisement for 'Rodeo' from a long distance. On the road, I also saw several people holding placards, at first Xiao Peng thought they were advertising the game, and when the car drove in front of him and looked carefully at the sign they were holding, he found that it was written against rodeo and boycotted the rodeo competition there. And next to them were a few policemen, standing there leisurely. It seems that he is not surprised by all this, what is this Nima's operation? This should be regarded as a door-to-door smashing field, right? In other words, Xiao Peng found a funny thing, those who protested the rodeo here were all dressed as cowboys: cowboy hats, jeans, denim shirts, riding boots. Dressed more than denim, is it really good that you protest the rodeo like this?

At the entrance of the stadium, there are many stalls selling denim goods. There are cowboy hats with wide brims and high tops, handmade cowboy boots, colorful denim scarves, and denim bow ties made of metal and leather.

What nonsense do you use when you see this?

There was a simple shed next to it as a dressing room, and when Xiao Peng came out, the whole person was completely new, and he looked like a western cowboy: wearing a brown leather cowboy hat with a copper pattern of cornflowers, the state flower of Texas. The hat band on the edge is made of horsehair and is very beautiful.

Beneath the jeans are heavy cowboy boots: pointed toes, sloping roots, half-waisted shafts. The upper and barrel of the boots that Xiao Peng bought are hollowed out and inlaid with snake skin to sew out very beautiful ornaments.

The denim shirts here are all regular denim shirts, all with copper snaps, three buttons on the cuffs of the shirt, and a triangle of cloth on the front of the shirt from the shoulder to the collar. There's a reason why denim shirts are designed this way, and the snap buttons are used because they can be taken off smoothly if they encounter a branch or something hanging on the clothes, or if they are bitten by wild animals. The three cuffs are convenient for denim to roll up the sleeves step by step as needed in work or life. As for the triangle cloth on the shoulder, it is because the shoulder is the easiest to wear out when the denim is working, and the triangle cloth is worn out. Now, of course, it's more about aesthetics.

Then tie a denim scarf, a silver 'buckle' (super large belt buckle), a silver wolf-headed denim bow tie, and put on his own Ray-Ban sunglasses. Xiao Peng traveled through time and space in an instant and returned to the period of the Great West.

Yang Meng burned the bag more than him, in addition to Xiao Peng's outfit, he also wore cowhide shoulders and CHAPS, that is, leather leg guards during the cowboy competition, and the leather tassels fluttered on both sides. Damn, he's not too hot!

Xiao Peng also bought a few beautiful saddles. Texas saddles, which can only be described as "works of art", are made of whole cowhide, hand-carved and inlaid with sterling silver. Xiao Peng bought several of them, and wanted to bring gifts to Xiaoice, didn't she? She absolutely liked this!

Xiao Peng put the gifts such as cowboy boots and saddles in the trunk, and when he was about to enter the arena, he was stopped by a very beautiful girl.

The girl handed them several promotional materials and advised them not to go in to watch the game. said that as long as no one buys a ticket to visit this competition, naturally no one will hold such a cruel competition again.

Xiao Peng scratched his head when he listened: "Girl, as tourists, we don't know about cowboy culture, do you see that so many spectators here don't listen to the dissuasion to go to the arena, do they all like to watch cruel games?

The girl is not very old, she looks like she is about twenty years old, and after hearing Xiao Peng say this, she knew that she couldn't dissuade them, so she could only smile bitterly and shake her head, no longer dissuading Xiao Peng and the others. Xiao Peng waved goodbye to her, then bought an admission ticket at the gate, passed through the security check, and entered the event venue.

In the Stars and Stripes Country, as long as there is a place where people gather, you will see security checks, as small as nightclubs, as large as music festivals, sports competitions, parades and gatherings, and when there are many people, you will have to go through security checks, and what will be checked? Naturally, guns will be checked! In these cases, guns are not allowed!

It's understandable if you think about it, if someone gets excited and takes it out and grabs it and opens it all up, then it's so lively.

There are already too many such things in the Stars and Stripes Country, so Xiao Peng should not touch them。。。。。。
