After the furious Master Yu left the 29th Army Headquarters, he called a rickshaw and went straight to Yong'an Road.
At that time, the address of the Chengnan Amusement Park was actually the inpatient department of the later Friendship Hospital, and the southwest of the Amusement Park was the landmark building of the Amusement Park, the "Four-Sided Clock" which was about ten meters high and shaped like an "anchor". (This clock tower was liberated.
It was later destroyed and rebuilt in 2003 based on old photos. However, the location of the reconstruction has been moved and the height has been reduced.)
The entertainment projects in this amusement park are all modeled after the "Big World" in Shanghai. The gate of the park faces south and faces north. It is a signature Western-style gatehouse. As soon as you enter, you will suddenly see a roller skating rink surrounded by iron fences.
, smoothed as a mirror with cement, and visitors can rent roller shoes (the old name, roller skates) for activities at a fee of 20 cents per hour. This is also the earliest roller skating rink in Beijing.
In addition, behind this open-air roller skating rink, there are also indoor "ground courts" (the old name is bowling alley) and "pinball rooms" (the old name is billiards hall). If you continue to walk forward, then
It is the Peking Opera Theatre, Wenming New Theater, movie theater, vaudeville theater, magic theater and puppet theater, etc.
In order to attract customers, Chengnan Amusement Park has been vigorously promoting that tickets are 20 cents per person, and children are free of charge. After purchasing a ticket to enter the park, you can watch various entertainments as you like, and there is no separate charge. So Yuye also has to pay 20 cents first.
You have to buy a ticket to enter.
As for after entering the park, it is not difficult to find where Yu Ye wants to go. The "Hercules of All Nations" is the biggest gimmick promoted by the amusement park. Not only are there guide posters everywhere in the park, but the hired staff are also working hard
There was a lot of publicity. So Yu Ye easily found a temporary arena in the center of the amusement park.
It was a coincidence that Mr. Yu came at just the right time. Tulikun had just won the first battle today and had just thrown a challenger out of the ring. After the victory, the boy declared himself a master on the stage.
He ostentatiously showed off his skills to the audience. At the same time, he provocatively said that most Chinese people were cowards and could not defeat him, so they were even less worthy of competing with foreigners and receiving huge bonuses.
At first, Mr. Yu was a little angry when he came over in anger, but now he saw that this kid was using his own brand and sparing no effort to brag about his power for the foreigners. He immediately became furious and immediately squeezed out from the audience, turned over and entered the ring.
The audience in the audience thought that someone was coming on stage to challenge again, so they cheered loudly. However, Tulikun was really dumbfounded when he saw Master Yu. He was so frightened that his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground.
This scene immediately made many spectators dumbfounded. At this time, Master Yu could no longer hold back his anger. He pointed at Tulikun in public and began to curse. He scolded him for ruining the reputation of the school and even willing to be humble.
, turned into a dog without a backbone. He did not hesitate to insult his compatriots for money, and was willing to act as the third grandson and bastard in front of foreigners. Mr. Yu also claimed that he came here today just to clean up the family.
This rebuke can be described as righteous and awe-inspiring, and every word of it hits Tulikun's vital points. So even though they haven't seen the actual competition yet, the audience in the audience was very happy and gave bursts of applause.
When Tulikun heard this, he immediately remembered the days when he was crawling on the ground in Jinmen begging. In shock, he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, arguing that he had no choice but to rely on this method after his family fortune fell into desperation.
He had to work a job to support his family. Besides, he didn't spread his wrestling skills to anyone else, so he hoped that Master Yu would spare him one more time for the sake of his late father's sake and the friendship between master and apprentice.
However, these sweet words failed to impress Master Yu at all. Master Yu already deeply regretted his mistake in trusting Tulikun last time, and he also knew that if a person loses his ambition and backbone, there is no way to save him. So he
He took action without any hesitation and destroyed Tulikun's skill on the spot.
Tu Likun was very smart, and he knew something was wrong when he saw Master Yu taking action. He didn't have the courage to fight, so he rolled away and ran straight to the back of the stage in embarrassment.
When Master Yu saw this, he became even more angry, and without even thinking about it, he followed closely and chased after him.
But you must know that Tulikun is not the only one who is employed in the amusement park and is willing to serve as a "vanguard" for foreigners. What's more, those boys are usually very brave and fierce, and they have a close friendship with Tulikun. At this time
, these people naturally would not stand idly by. They all stacked their arms and rolled up their sleeves, pretending to be "unworthy" to stop Mr. Yu.
Needless to say, those who dared to block Master Yu’s path would not feel comfortable. You must know that Master Yu was extremely angry at this time, and anyone who stopped him would be beaten. What’s more, these boys were slaves for the foreign devils.
Is that still possible?
As a result, once handed over, Mr. Yu showed no mercy at all. In just a few clicks, these ignorant boys were dislocated, their rings were falling out, and they were lying on the ground with "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch!"
Everyone was shaking in pain, and no one could stand up.
It would be said that now they really understood why Tulikun was so afraid, but unfortunately - it was too late!
The audience in the audience was also eye-opened, especially the old audience who often come here to watch the fights. They have never seen those boys lose before. They just know that these people are already masters of martial arts. But no
Thinking that today these "masters" were defeated by Master Yu alone, his eyes widened in surprise.
In addition, there were some people who knew Master Yu themselves, and in order to gain limelight, they began to publicize Master Yu's achievements in martial arts competitions in the past. When everyone heard this, they knew that a master was really here, and how could they restrain themselves?
Can you feel the excitement in your heart? Naturally, you spare no effort to cheer loudly and cheer for Mr. Yu.
But just when the atmosphere was at its highest, the cheers suddenly stopped. It was like a sudden brake, and the whole place suddenly turned from noisy and chaotic to silence.
It turns out that there are rules for any martial arts competition. If you want to compete, you must first sign up, pay, sign and draw a deposit before entering the ring. The big fight that Yu Ye just had undoubtedly disrupted the rules of the competition. In order to maintain the arena,
In order to maintain internal order, the amusement park quickly mobilized 20 "town guards".
Just when Master Yu was about to block Tulikun, these "townships" arrived at the right time, and everyone pointed their guns at Master Yu. In this way, not only did they force Master Yu to
I restrained myself and allowed Tulikun to escape backstage, shocking the audience into silence.
You must know that the Chengnan Amusement Park is not an ordinary sideshow. His backstage is the warlord Li Zhun (Admiral of the Guangdong Navy in the late Qing Dynasty, who came to Beijing after the Revolution of 1911 to serve as Yuan Shikai's senior military adviser. He is the most important person in my country's defense of the sovereignty of the South China Sea Islands in the past century. (a powerful senior naval general). This place is so close to the overpass, but no "overlord" or "emperor" has ever dared to reach in. It relies on its huge official power and these people with real guns and live ammunition. "Township". So no one thought that the stuff these people were holding was fake, and no one dared to make a move for fear of getting into trouble.
Fortunately, Peng Xiukang of the amusement park is a businessman who only wants to make money. His excellent economic acumen has always been valued by Li Zhun, and he is also quite "clear" in handling affairs. When he arrived, he saw that the situation had stabilized.
When he came down, in order not to cause a bigger commotion and bloodshed, he waved his hand and asked his men to put away their guns. After that, he kept clasping his fists and saying "long admirers" to Mr. Yu, and politely invited Mr. Yu to drink tea in the manager's office.
So this kind of tense and tense scene ended.
The real negotiation was after entering the manager's office. After Peng Xiukang was informed of the reasons and the process, he did not go around the bush and went straight to the topic.
He believed that although Tulikun was Master Yu's apprentice, he also had an employment relationship with the amusement park. Once Master Yu took the person away, the sign of the amusement park would be destroyed. Besides, Master Yu hired him here today on his own initiative.
All the people were defeated, leaving him without the manpower to take the lead for the foreigners, which would definitely affect the business of the amusement park. Therefore, he thought that the only solution that was not harmful to his temper was to ask Mr. Yu to sign a bet and contract with the amusement park.
Foreigners compete in martial arts. If Lord Yu wins, it goes without saying that Tulikun will be taken away by Lord Yu. But if Lord Yu loses, it will be embarrassing, and people will have to stay in the amusement park to work hard for him.
, and Master Yu’s wasted efforts can be regarded as compensation for the losses of the amusement park.
As for what Peng Xiukang's idea was, Mr. Yu was like a mirror in his mind. It was nothing more than one word - "profit".
He knew that once he signed this bet, he could not only make a lot of money by providing a gimmick, but also save Peng Xiukang huge commissions and bonuses. Regardless of winning or losing, it would also be a good thing for Chengnan Amusement Park.
It's all a guaranteed profit. But he is about to become a tool for people to use and make money.
However, disgust is disgust, but from another perspective, he felt that Peng Xiukang's words also made some sense.
First of all, he did lose his cool today and disturbed others on impulse. He was wrong in the first place. In addition, there is an old saying that goes well, "A bachelor cannot fight against power." Don't look at this Peng Xiukang with a friendly smile.
But just because he can open this business in this land, he cannot afford to offend him. If he really breaks out, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to take Tulikun away, but he will also be in countless troubles.
Then it's better to give in and it would be better for both of us.
The reality is like this. Since Mr. Yu knew that he had no better choice, he decisively signed the document and pledged it, and agreed on the terms with Peng Xiukang. Five days later, he came to the amusement park to fight, and fought three times in a row.
If he can win, the amusement park will hand him over immediately.
After sending Yu Ye away with gifts, the shrewd Peng Xiukang immediately called and invited reporters from several major newspapers. He not only asked these people to write and publish in the newspaper "Yu Jin, a famous wrestling master in the capital, is about to compete with the Wan Guo University."
The news about "Warriors Fighting to Compete in Fighting Skills" also cost a lot of money to advertise in several newspapers for five consecutive days.
So with such hype methods, this matter quickly became a major event that attracted the attention of the entire capital and was hotly discussed by everyone. Rumors were flying everywhere in the market, and related gossip could be heard in teahouses and restaurants.
.The Dutch strongman can withstand an elephant, the Russian boxer can kill a bear with one punch, the French wrestling champion can eat thirty kilograms of raw beef a day, is skilled in boxing and wrestling, and has defeated invincible opponents all over Europe.
It's so miraculous.
People in the capital also had different views on this. Although most people scolded the foreign devils for being boastful and ignorant of current affairs, there were also quite a few people who believed these words and devalued Master Yu for challenging three people.
In short, countless people in the capital were aroused and were waiting to witness the details of Yu Ye's battle with the foreign boxer. Therefore, although the tickets for this match were sold separately, they were sold to a sky-high price of five yuan per person. Some people even secretly opened a betting market
, set different odds for each of the three contestants who were about to face off with Yu Ye, hoping to make a fortune through this arena match.
