Chapter 234: Cooperation (Addendum 2)
Although the name of this ship sounds very bad in Cantonese, but now it is the 21st century, except for some old men who are not old-fashioned, few people will care about this, and everyone has boarded the ship, ready to start this trip that I don't know if it is romantic or Titanic.
Zhongli was the same, including Nie Hailong, a total of thirty-five members of the Investigation Bureau, formed a vote and walked towards the boarding gate, seeing that the others were both a little stunned and a little funny, and secretly discussed one after another.
"This mainland boy is really dirty!"
"What does he think this Ikesawa Pill is, and he still wants to bring so many bodyguards up?"
"It's strange that most of the rich guys from the mainland are like this, and they have the virtue of a nouveau riche. ”
Although this discussion was secret, it was actually not much to hide it, not to mention Zhongli, even Nie Hailong and the others could hear it clearly, but they just ignored it.
When he came to the boarding gate, he was blocked, and a Western man in a navy uniform made an apologetic smile to Zhongli and said: "Sir, I'm sorry, a boarding card can only allow two people to board the ship, if you are worried about your safety, then rest assured, this time the world's first voyage, we not only hired a professional maritime security team, the United States and the British Navy also sent two frigates to accompany the protection, absolutely to ensure the personal safety of passengers." ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Zhongli was also interested and asked: "The cooperation between the two navies to escort a private cruise ship, this is the first time I have heard of it, interesting, where is it?"
In the face of Zhong Li's meaningful words, the man's expression remained unchanged, and he said in pure Chinese: "Because we did not have the permission of the Chinese side, the two frigates are still docked on the high seas, but sir, you can rest assured, this is the last stop of our world cruise, there have been no accidents before, and it is the same now, you don't have to worry about your safety." ”
"I hope so!"
Zhongli smiled noncommittally, Nie Hailong, who was beside him, also made a look, and Ning Ning, who was accompanying him, stepped forward and handed over a stack of boarding cards to the man.
"This ......"
Looking at this stack of boarding cards, the man was also a little stunned, this time the number of tickets issued by Ikezawa Company was not much, 30,000 tickets for world cruise, scattered to each country and region, that is, about 3,000, it can be said to be extremely sought-after, and it is already a great power to get three or four, this whole stack......
Well, the number is not a problem, the question is that this ticket is obviously not an ordinary person on board, what will be the consequences, the other passengers did not bring a few bodyguards, but he brought a large ticket, isn't this a clear face to throw other passengers?
Seeing his embarrassed face, Zhongli smiled and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"This ......"
The man's words were stagnant, and he was about to explain, but he didn't want to suddenly hear a voice from behind......
"No problem!"
A middle-aged man with a slightly short stature and a square beard walked over, nodded to Zhongli, and said, "Mr. Zhong, welcome to take Ikezawa Maru, I am the general person in charge of this world cruise, Ikezawa Goro!"
"Hmm!"
Zhongli raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know me?"
Ikezawa Goro smiled faintly and said: "Mr.'s name, no one knows, no one knows, the Ikezawa family has admired Mr. martial arts for a long time, how can I not know it, before leaving, the head of the family also told me that if I have the opportunity to go to Huaguo, I must personally visit Mr., I didn't expect to meet here now, it is really Goro's honor, please Mr. on the boat, let our Ikezawa family enjoy the friendship of the landlord." ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Zhongli was also interested, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect me to be so famous now, since Mr. Ikezawa was graciously invited, then it would be disrespectful, please!"
"Please!"
The two exchanged polite words, and in the still somewhat dull gaze of everyone, they laughed and boarded the cruise ship, and gradually drifted away.
“......”
“......”
“......”
After being silent for a while, everyone came back to their senses, Ning Ning touched Nie Hailong with his elbow, and asked in a suppressed voice, "Director, don't we care?"
Nie Hailong's face was expressionless, and he asked rhetorically, "What's the matter?"
"What's the matter?"
Such an attitude made Ning Ning a little anxious, and said continuously: "This little book is clearly going to dig our corner, if you really dig it up for him, ......!"
"That's good!"
Nie Hailong covered his forehead and said with some exhaustion: "Stay with him, I will have to reduce my life expectancy by at least ten years, if I can really send this hot potato out to harm others, I will definitely thank him!"
“......”
Leaving aside the tortured and exhausted Director Nie for the time being, Ikezawa Goro led Zhongli onto the cruise ship and introduced: "Mr. Zhong, what do you think of this Ikezawa Pill. ”
"Hmm!"
Zhongli glanced around, and then said, "Except for the name, everything else is good." ”
"What a humorous sir. ”
Ikezawa Goro smiled, ignored the unimportant question, and continued: " This Ikezawa Maru is our Ikezawa Group spent a full five years, painstakingly created a giant luxury cruise ship, is the pinnacle of our Ikezawa shipbuilding industry, but also the world's largest, the most luxurious giant cruise ship, its hull has a total length of 395 meters, 48 meters wide, 60 meters high, with restaurants, dance halls, casinos, indoor swimming pools, artificial hot springs and other facilities, up to 5,000 tourists can stay, this world cruise, only one boat fare, we have obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. ”
Ikezawa's words were full of pride, and he was clearly proud of the masterpiece of his family business.
It's a pity that he doesn't know what fate will happen to the world's No. 1 luxury cruise ship next, and he doesn't even know the real mission of this voyage, and he is completely sorry for his identity as the person in charge.
But this is also something that can't be helped, Atlantis is not accessible to everyone, in the entire Ikezawa family, I am afraid that only Ichiro Ikezawa, the helmsman of the Ikezawa family, can have some understanding, and it would be good for others to have access to the US military.
The same is true of Ikezawa Goro, although he knows that the US military is involved in this trip, but he does not know what their purpose is, and it is just another cooperation between the Ikezawa family and the US military.
With the world's most powerful navy as a backer, coupled with the strong financial resources and political capital of the Ikezawa family, Ikezawa Goro was full of pride, and after an introduction, he turned to Zhongli and said: "Sir, I have read the four martial arts overviews nearly a hundred times, and each time there are unexpected gains, it is hard to imagine that there are people in this world who can understand the essence of martial arts so thoroughly, and then express it in such a simple and easy-to-understand language, transcendent and holy, I am afraid it is nothing more than that." ”
Hearing this, Zhong Li smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Ikezawa has a deep understanding of martial arts and Huaguo culture." ”
In the face of Zhongli's point-in-point words, Ikezawa Goro looked calm, and said with a light smile: "Dongying and Huaguo have a relationship since ancient times, and they can even be said to be teachers and friends, but in the last century, some bad things happened between the two countries that broke off this relationship, but I imagine that Mr. is determined to be a martial arts in the world, and there are people who teach and have no class, so they will not have other prejudices, right?"
"Hah!"
Zhongli smiled, noncommittal, but said, "Mr. Ikezawa's eloquence is very good. ”
Ikezawa Goro lowered his head slightly, made a humble appearance, and chuckled: "Thank you, Mr. for the compliment!"
Zhongli shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I don't have much time to appreciate it, so I'd better ask Mr. Ikezawa to be simple and clear, and everyone be honest, how about it?"
"Hmm!"
Ikezawa Goro's eyes froze, and then he returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Mr. is really a man of temperament, since this is the case, I am not pretentious, and the Ikezawa family hopes to cooperate with Mr." ”
"Cooperation?"
Zhongli raised his eyebrows, looked at Ikezawa Goro with interest, and asked, "What kind of cooperation method?"
Ikezawa Goro smiled lightly and said confidently: "Mr. Zhong should know what kind of strength our Ikezawa family has in Dongying, if Mr. is willing, the Ikezawa family can establish a dojo for Mr. in any city or even any place in Dongying, for Mr. to practice and teach disciples." ”
"Oh?"
Looking at the confident Ikezawa Goro, Zhongli couldn't help but smile and asked, "The palace is okay too?"
"Yes!"
Ikezawa Goro looked serious and said: "The Yanagi family is the guardian of the imperial family, and there is a kendo dojo in the palace, although our Ikezawa family is slightly inferior to the Yanagi family, but if you need it, I can guarantee that you will also have the same dojo, your status is the status of our Ikezawa family, even if Your Majesty sees you, you must treat each other with courtesy." ”
Zhongli smiled and said, "It's very sincere, but do you think I need this?"
"Yes!"
Ikezawa Goro's expression remained unchanged, and he said solemnly: "With the wisdom of Mr., it should be very clear that although the country of China is large, it is difficult for Mr. to gain a foothold, let alone above ten thousand people, the emerging and rising countries, the deep-rooted families, will become an obstacle to Mr. You, now maybe they and Mr. have the same interests, but later, when differences arise and the two sides conflict, can Mr. guarantee that he will be as smooth sailing as he is now, invincible." ”
The words were heart-wrenching, but Zhongli still chuckled, and asked rhetorically: "Do you think that if I go to Dongying, I won't encounter such a situation?"
"Yes!"
Ikezawa Goro sighed, his expression suddenly became a little excited, and said: "But we can change, Mr. can't shake Huaguo, but he can shake Dongying, and the Ikezawa family can cooperate with Mr. and let Mr. become the master of Dongying's martial arts, and at that time, Mr. can do everything he wants." ”
Zhongli shook his head and said, "Since you know that I can shake Dongying, why do you think I need to cooperate with you. ”
These words made Ikezawa Goro laugh suddenly, and said, "Because of cooperating with us, Mr. really has the power to shake the martial arts of Dongying." ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Zhongli became interested: "Do you think I don't have it now?"
"Nope!"
Ikezawa Goro's face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. is indeed very strong, but there is a sky outside the sky, Mr. is not the strongest now, according to the realm outlined in the four martial arts, Sir, you should only be the cultivation of a grandmaster or a great grandmaster now, as far as I know, there are some martial artists in Huaguo who have surpassed the human level, they are called martial arts true immortals, and similarly, there is such an existence in Dongying, the Sword Saint of the Yanagi family is one of them, can Sir have the confidence to defeat it?"
"Juggernaut?"
Zhongli smiled, noncommittal, and just said, "Can your Chi Ze family help me defeat the powerhouses of this realm?"
"Yes!"
Ikezawa Goro looked serious and said: "This is the secret of our Ikezawa family, as long as Mr. is willing to cooperate with us, we can get this power, defeat Soichiro Yagyu, take his title of Sword Saint, and dominate the martial arts of Toei!"
"A secret that is not passed on?"
Zhongli muttered, then chuckled, and said, "That's not necessary, but I have other projects, I wonder if you are interested in cooperating?"
"Hmm!"
Hearing this, Ikezawa Goro frowned, but still patiently asked, "Sir, please speak!"
Zhongli shook his head and said, "Now is not the time, when this voyage is over and you are still alive, we will talk again." ”
