"Prince Wahab。。。。。。 "Xiao Peng is still a little restrained.

Wahab waved his hand: "Just call me Wahab." ”

"Wahab, since you are Hua Tian's friend, then he will definitely tell you that I will not sell the 'silver'. Xiao Peng said.

Wahab shrugged his shoulders and said in a flat tone: "Anything in the world has its value. Everything that is not sold is because the price does not meet the needs of the seller. As long as you have enough money, there is nothing you can't buy. ”

After listening to Wahab's words, Xiao Peng only felt a strong breath of a big dog coming to his face, and the other meaning in his words was: "Kill me, kill me." Believe it or not, I'll stone you to death with money?"

But these words made Xiao Peng feel uncomfortable. Are you awesome if you have money?

Well, it's really awesome to have money, and when this comes out of the mouth of the Saudi royal family, there is indeed this capital. The Saudis, who have never put money in their eyes, have the face of nouveau riche everywhere they go.

In fact, it is not wrong to say that they are nouveau riche. The Middle East was really different from the Middle East now. Before the oil economy developed, the Middle East was called poor, agriculture and animal husbandry were not well developed, and there was no food and clothing, and a camel could pack up and take away the entire net worth of a chief.

Until people discovered the value of oil, the vast oil reserves of the entire Middle East made it one of the richest regions in the world, and everything was bad, just not bad money. Therefore, no matter where Saudi Arabia goes, it has a strong atmosphere of local tyrants, and it never seeks the best to buy things, but the most expensive.

In 1985, Saudi Arabia purchased 'Lance' missiles from the United States, but this request was ruthlessly rejected by the United States. With no way to buy it, the king decided to buy the Dongfeng-3 strategic missile, a 'big killer' from China. In the second half of 1987, Saudi Arabia purchased 36 Dongfeng-3 strategic missiles in cash for $3.5 billion.

It is said that when Saudi Arabia asked how much money it was, our country stretched out a finger and wanted to offer 10 million yuan, but Saudi Arabia slapped the table, '100 million yuan will be 100 million'! 3.5 billion US dollars, paid in cash! You must know that in 1986, China's total foreign exchange reserves were only 2 billion US dollars, and this transaction was 3.5 billion yuan, which exceeded China's foreign exchange reserves for an entire year! Decades have passed, and this is still China's largest single arms export to date. From this, you can imagine how trenched the Saudis really are.

Now this is ready to shoot yourself with money?

Xiao Peng thought for a moment: "Wahab, I admit that what you said makes sense, but there is another sentence I don't know if you have heard of? There are many things in the world that cannot be bought with money. ”

"Oh, what can't be bought with money?" asked Wahab, "Family, friendship, is it really impossible to buy with money? How many so-called family and friendship are based on money? Are there still few examples of brothers and relatives turning against each other for money?"

Xiao Peng pouted: "Even so, there are other things that you can never buy with money." ”

"For example?" asked Wahab curiously.

"For example, Xiao Peng's horse! Wahab, you still don't know the Chinese, there is a saying called 'don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice', I don't know if you've heard of it? The dignity of men cannot be bought with money!" Xiao Peng said indignantly.

To tell the truth, when he said this, Xiao Peng's heart was full of distressed feelings, why did he work hard for half a day? Wasn't it just for money? After slaughtering this fat sheep, he had enough to eat and drink for the rest of his life, but he didn't know why, after listening to Wahab's words, Xiao Peng just didn't want to agree to him! This damn self-esteem!

But after saying this, Xiao Peng was suddenly relieved. , Lao Tzu is worse than others? Why do you want to see your 'sighing and eating' face? Lao Tzu wants Lao Tzu to take it himself. Thinking about it like this, Xiao Peng's uncomfortable mood just now was swept away, but he felt a lot more comfortable.

After all, Wahab came out of Eton College, and his expression froze when he heard Xiao Peng's words, and then he smiled again: "Mr. Xiao, don't talk like that, we can talk about it again." Well, I'll pay $30 million for 'silver,' what do you think?"

"Not for sale!" Xiao Peng directly shook his head and refused.

"Fifty million!" Wahab was unrelenting. This is ready to smash Xiao Peng with money. Xiao Peng still shook his head: "Not for sale!"

"100 million!" Wahab directly doubled the price, Xiao Peng sprayed directly, and looked at Wahab: "I said brother, are you crazy?"

You know, the world auction record for thoroughbreds, which is $16 million for the 'Green Monkey', of course, this price does not represent the true price of a thoroughbred. Thoroughbreds that run results are not for sale. The record set by Green Monkey is a two-year-old auction record, and the auction of Green Monkey is a testament to the iron rule of 'buy a horse with caution'. Despite the record-breaking GREEN MONKEY, it was a decidedly negative case to win just over $10,000 for the owner and then retire.

But do you want to spend 16 million dollars on top horses like 'Dove's Nest', 'American Pharaoh', 'Shining California', 'Golden Horn' and 'Dolf'? You can't buy it with a zero. All the top horses are rarely traded, and even if they are traded, they are all private, and the transaction amount is kept secret。。。。。。

How could Xiao Peng not be surprised that 'Silver' was not yet three years old, but he sold the price of a top-class racehorse, but he was only curious, this time he had already decided to grit his teeth and not sell 'Silver' to death.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm sure I'm not crazy, how about it? Do you accept this price?" Wahab's eyes lit up.

Xiao Peng continued to shake his head: "Not for sale!"

Wahab gritted his teeth: "Two hundred million dollars!"

Xiao Peng was speechless, and took out a cigarette: "Wahab, you don't mind, right?"

Wahab shook his head and made a gesture of please. is still secretly happy in his heart, which shows that Xiao Peng is thinking about the problem, is this his heart?

Xiao Peng nodded: "Wahab, I'm sure, you're really crazy! I'm just curious, why do you have to take this horse? How is this 'silver' worth your investment? Where are you optimistic about it?"

Wahab smiled and replied: "This horse's potential is great, do you know how many blocks he ran just 1,200 meters? 54.6 seconds! Close to the 1,000-meter horse race record! This is still done with two horses in the middle of the whole process! I believe that as he gets older, with scientific training, his results will get better and better." And only the best horses can match our identity. ”

Xiao Peng shrugged: "Your vision is indeed good. You may be disappointed this time, though. Because I've already decided. My 'silver' is also not for sale. ”

200 million US dollars, put it in anyone can eat and drink well for a lifetime. Xiao Peng can sell the 'silver' now and become a rich man, but what about after selling it? Singing and dancing every day and playing for the rest of his life? Isn't life too boring? Always give yourself something to pursue------ although Xiao Peng doesn't know what he is pursuing now, but what he doesn't want to do is what he doesn't want to do!

"Wahab, I'm not stupid, tell me the truth. Why exactly?" asked Xiao Peng.

It's not that 'silver' isn't worth the money, but if 'silver' does outperform, the price is not surprising. But now 'Silver' doesn't have any results worthy of his value, but has won a new Marseille championship in New Zealand, how can he give him such a high price? Even if he is fast enough now, who knows what it will be like in the future? Isn't that the case with the 'Green Monkey' back then?

Wahab sighed, "Okay, okay, not for that damn Dubai Horse Racing World Cup?"

"The Dubai Horse Racing World Cup? It's still half a year before it will be held, right? So what? Are you betting on the periphery?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

Horse racing in many parts of the world has developed very well, such as the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Northern Europe, the United States, etc., but the most eye-catching horse racing competition is always the Dubai Horse Racing World Cup.

The reason is simple, the most expensive event in the world is not F1 or the Round the World Sailing Race, but the annual one-day Horse Racing World Cup in Dubai.

It is a young tournament that has been created since 1996. It has been successfully held for 20 years, but it is this young event that has been called "the most influential competition in the world" and "the most expensive competition in the world". In just one day, the organizers awarded more than $20 million to the winners. Dubai's Meydon Racecourse cost $3 billion and took three years to build! The parking lot alone can accommodate 10,000 cars, a horse racing stand that can accommodate more than 60,000 people at the same time, a horse training track, stables, an urban park, a five-star hotel, and more.

The most infuriating thing is that such a luxurious horse racing festival is completely free of charge, from the ticket to the parking fee! The organizers of the deep-pocketed race did not use more commercial means to win economic returns in terms of real profits, they said: The main purpose of this race is to promote Dubai! In order to attract more people to watch the race!

That's how rich you are!

"Bet on the periphery?" it was Wahab's turn to be stunned.

"Yes, everyone knows that gambling is prohibited in Dubai, and it is a well-known fact that horse racing at the Dubai Horse Racing Festival does not bet on horses, so there are only peripheral betting markets, right?" Xiao Peng said.

Wahab waved his hand and smiled: "We won't do such a tasteless thing on the periphery." Although betting on horses is prohibited at the Dubai Horse Racing Festival, it is also a table for several royals around the world, and only royals can participate. ”

"Wow, are you showing off?" Xiao Peng said.

Wahab shrugged: "My origin is not something I can choose. ”

"Okay, okay, you're right, but what does this have to do with 'silver'?" Xiao Peng said his confusion, 'what is the reason why you must buy 'silver'?"

Wahab showed a helpless expression: "Okay, Mr. Xiao, I'll be honest with you. We've been losing to Qatar for several years. Can't lose to him again this year anyway. So I'm going to find any hope that I can win!"

Xiao Peng patted his forehead: "I knew it was like this。。。。。。 ”
