In fact, since the 1980s, every year's black boxing competition organized by the World Black Boxing Organization has been held on the Queen Elizabeth.
It's just that foreigners are more practical. They don't care about relationships and respect like domestic officials. In the past, China's underground black boxing organizations were not yet mature, so they never received relevant invitations.
If it hadn't been for the Russian boxing champion Andreevich's defeat in China and the record of Japanese boxing champion Kato Takumi having his limbs chopped off, Zhu Weifeng would have missed this event.
"When does the conference start?"
The Hongmen matter has been dealt with, and Ye Tian's mind has turned to this black boxing competition. Thinking about meeting black boxing masters from all over the world, Ye Tian can't help but feel a little excited.
Zhu Weifeng gave a wry smile and said: "Tomorrow we will hold an exchange meeting with representatives from various countries, and starting the day after tomorrow, we will start a boxing championship competition."
In fact, the American organizer has long urged Zhu Weifeng to come on board, but they have been unable to get through Ye Tian's phone call. If Ye Tian doesn't contact him today, Zhu Weifeng is ready to give up this opportunity to join the world's black boxing organization.
You must know that there are no boxers from China participating in the boxing championship this time, so they will be inferior to those representatives. If Ye Tian does not follow to hold the battle, Zhu Weifeng will not be looking for trouble.
"Tomorrow? Can you make it in time?"
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood why Zhu Weifeng came to find him in such a hurry. There was no time left.
Zhu Weifeng looked at his watch and said, "It's still too late. Today is the last day to board the ship. After this time, it means you have automatically given up the invitation!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Ye Tian laughed, stood up and said, "Give me three minutes, I'll pack my things!"
Returning to the bedroom upstairs, Ye Tian took out a bag he carried with him, which contained his passport and two bottles of pills. After thinking for a while, Ye Tian stuffed a few changes of clothes into it.
"Ye Tian, are you ready?"
When they came downstairs, Zhu Weifeng and the two middle-aged men were already waiting by the door. Following Zhu Weifeng, Ye Tian got into his black Mercedes car.
The car sped along, and half an hour later, it arrived at a pier under the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Directly in front of the pier, there was a medium-sized yacht parked, and people could be faintly seen walking on it.
"Guys, please show me your invitation letter!"
After Ye Tian and others got off the bus, they walked to the end of the pier and were blocked by three white men in black suits. Several glances were also shot at them on the boat.
"Damn it, is this a yacht or a battleship?"
Ye Tian didn't care about the pistols on the waists of the three people blocking the road, but he sensed that there was a big guy covered under the oilcloth at the top of the cruise ship. The danger was so dangerous that Ye Tian's heartbeat accelerated a bit.
"We were invited by Mr. Clementson, and this is our invitation letter!"
Although Zhu Weifeng is a local snake in China, when he goes abroad, he obeys the rules better than anyone else. After being stopped, he took out a black invitation letter from his bag.
A white man took the invitation, looked it over, and said, "I'm sorry, you have no contestants. According to the regulations, only two people can board the boat, and no weapons are allowed!"
"Only two people can board the boat?" After hearing what the other party said, Zhu Weifeng looked a little hesitant.
Zhu Weifeng knew that his two bodyguards might not be able to play any role on the ship, but they would always create some psychological sense of security.
At present, the bodyguards are not allowed to board the ship. After retiring from the special department, Zhu Weifeng, who feels that his life is more precious than anyone else, is somewhat undecided about whether to board the ship.
"Mr. Zhu, why don't you go if you are here?" Ye Tian smiled and patted Zhu Weifeng on the shoulder and said, "I have deduced it. This trip will be fine, so don't worry!"
"Okay, I'll accompany Brother Ye for a walk!"
Zhu Weifeng nodded heavily, making Ye Tian dumbfounded. Before, this guy begged him to participate, but now why is it the other way around?
After a rigorous search, the pedals were put down from the yacht, and Ye Tian and Zhu Weifeng walked up.
A young man wearing a waiter's uniform came over and said, "Gentlemen, before the yacht sails, you can move on the deck, but when the ship sails, you have to go inside!"
"Huh? You speak Chinese pretty well!"
Ye Tian looked at the white waiter in front of him, who was obviously not Chinese, with some surprise, and asked: "Where did you learn Mandarin? It's pretty standard."
"Thank you sir for your compliment. I can speak seven languages in total, and Chinese is just one of them!"
The waiter replied politely: "The staff on our Queen Elizabeth must master the languages of at least five countries, otherwise they will not be qualified to board the ship."
The waiter's answer made Ye Tian and Zhu Weifeng couldn't help but look at each other. As the saying goes, differences can only be discovered by comparison.
Compared with the organizers of the Elizabeth, Zhu Weifeng's underground boxing ring is completely incapable of handling the situation. Not to mention speaking five languages, his staff there can't even speak English.
After explaining some precautions to Ye Tian and his wife, the staff turned around and left. There was still half an hour before the ship sailed, and Ye Tian and Zhu Weifeng started walking around on the deck.
Although there was a guard at the bow of the ship, Ye Tian still saw a heavy machine gun standing there from the corner of the oilcloth, and even the yellow-orange bullet chain was installed.
Perhaps it was the last flight to the Elizabeth. There were not many people on board. Counting Ye Tian and his crew, there were only a dozen or so. After getting down to the cabin, it did not seem very crowded.
There is a wine cabinet and bar in the cabin, and cigars and cigar cutters are even provided. The organizer has thought very carefully about the details, and even on this short journey, the service is meticulous.
Strictly speaking, the place where Ye Tian and others set out was San Francisco Bay. Only through the Golden Gate Strait can they enter the Pacific Ocean, and the Elizabeth was parked on the high seas of the Pacific Ocean.
After about two hours of sailing, the yacht stopped and looked out through the window. Directly in front, it seemed that a maritime kingdom appeared.
It was already past ten o'clock at night, and the weather was not very good and the visibility was not high, but the lights on the huge cruise ship were brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
"Everyone, you can come out." The waiter's voice rang, and the cabin door was opened at the same time.
Looking up at the Elizabeth, which was fifty or sixty meters high, equivalent to a twenty-storey building, Ye Tian couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Grandma's, even the Queen's Elizabeth, isn't that big, right?"
It's not that Ye Tian has no experience, but he always travels by plane and basically never takes a ferry. This is really the first time he has seen such a giant on the sea.
"Sir, are you talking about Queen Elizabeth II?"
After hearing what Ye Tian said, the waiter next to him smiled and said: "Elizabeth 2 does not belong to the Queen of England. It is a cruise ship operated by the British Cunard Shipping Company, a subsidiary of the American Carnival Company. However, in 1967
, it was the launching ceremony presided over by Queen Elizabeth II... And our ship, the Elizabeth, was built in 1921. The hull was renovated in 1980, and its specifications are larger than that of the Elizabeth II.
.”
The waiter's words made Ye Tian's cheeky face turn slightly red. He had previously thought that naming it after Elizabeth would belong to her, but he didn't expect that the waiter would teach him a lesson.
Fortunately, the waiter only answered out of politeness and did not mean to embarrass Ye Tian. When he saw the elevator descending from the hull, he greeted: "Gentlemen, please go up the elevator. There is someone above to help you."
!”
The elevator can carry eight people at a time. Except for the waiters, almost all the guests on the yacht got on. As the elevator rose, the size of the yacht slowly shrank in Ye Tian's eyes.
“It’s spectacular!”
After boarding the cruise ship, although all he could see was the dark sea, the open feeling still shocked Ye Tian. The feeling of swimming in the sea was completely different from flying in the blue sky.
"You two, you can stay in the sea view room in Area C. This is the room card for you two. Please don't move around at night. There will be a broadcast reminding you to attend the meeting next year."
After getting on the cruise ship, someone checked the identities of Ye Tian and Zhu Weifeng and handed them two room cards. However, Ye Tian found that Mr. Zhu's face seemed to become a little ugly at that moment.
"Hey, this scenery is really nice." Although the night covered the sea, Ye Tian could still see very far away with his eyesight.
Moreover, they lived in a two-person suite with a balcony in addition to the living room. Ye Tian was very satisfied.
"Mr. Zhu, what's wrong?"
Ye Tian stood on the balcony for a while, then turned and entered the room. When he saw Zhu Weifeng's gloomy face, he couldn't help but smile: "How much money does the organizer owe you? Are you unhappy the first time you get it?"
"Discrimination, damn, this is discrimination against us!"
It's okay that Ye Tian didn't mention this matter, but when he mentioned it, Zhu Weifeng jumped up, "Damn it, even if Clementson doesn't come to greet us, he actually gave us a room in Area C.
This simply doesn’t take the Chinese black boxing organization seriously!”
Unlike Ye Tian, a rookie on a first-class cruise ship, Zhu Weifeng has traveled around the world on a cruise ship even more luxurious than this. He naturally has a very good understanding of the classes and rooms on the cruise ship.
According to common sense, the guest rooms on cruise ships are generally divided by English letters such as abcd. The highest level and the best room facilities are naturally located in area A on the top floor.
But now I won’t talk about District A, and I haven’t even gotten into District B, which makes Zhu Weifeng feel discriminated against.
