Chapter 183: Boarding the Titanic
In a new time and space, on the Ocean Pier in Southampton, England, a dense crowd gathers on the pier, and the noise is heard one after another, and there are people of all kinds of clothes.
Passengers, family members who came to see them off, salute porters, customs inspectors, crew waiters.
On the wharf, the nearly 300-meter-long Titanic was quietly docked on the wharf, the passengers boarded the ship, the salute porter was busy sending the salute into the cabin, the boarding gate, and the busy customs officers checked the tickets and put the passengers on board.
On the busy dock, several cars drove into the dock, slowly approaching the boarding gate in the crowd, the vehicle stopped, and Carl stepped out of the door like an elegant gentleman.
Ruth and her mother got out of the car, looked up at the supposedly unsinkable Titanic, and were shocked by its huge body, like a mountain lying in front of them.
"I don't know why people like to make a big fuss, and it doesn't look bigger than the Mauritania." Looking at the giant ship, Ruth shook her head and said.
Carl, who was behind him, heard this and said: "The Titanic will definitely shock you, it is a hundred feet longer than the Mauritania, and it is more luxurious." ”
However, Ruth ignored Carl's words and walked forward, much to Carl's embarrassment.
"Mrs. Ruth, it's harder to please your daughter than to ascend to heaven."
……
On the dock, when Carl and Ruth and others were about to board the ship, there was a sudden agitation on the dock, and a modern off-road vehicle appeared on the dock, honking its horn to separate the crowd, and behind this sedan was an extended sedan, followed by two off-road vehicles.
The appearance of these four cars made the separated crowd exclaim, they had never seen such a beautiful car, with a sleek body and a domineering appearance, exuding madness at all times. The breath of the wild.
"God, what kind of car is this?"
"It seems to be the logo of the American Ford company, is this their new car?"
"It's a beautiful manufacturing process, it's much more beautiful than other Ford cars."
Many passengers with status couldn't help but exclaim, and even those first-class tycoons couldn't help but stop and watch.
Such a beautiful car, that mesmerizing shape, attracts countless eyeballs.
The convoy slowly docked at the boarding gate, and the bodyguards in the three off-road vehicles opened the doors at the same time and got out of the car, and the crowd dispersed again.
Ruth, who was walking up the boarding ramp, looked back for a long time, and then said, "What a beautiful car, with a curious shape." ”
Carl, who was walking side by side with her, immediately said, "When I get to New York, I'll go to Ford and order a few." ”
When Ruth heard this, she suddenly lost interest and turned back and walked towards the boat, and Carl was embarrassed again.
Just as they were about to reach the cabin door, there was a series of exclamations from the dock behind them, and Ruth turned around and saw that in the lieutenant general's long car, an incomparably beautiful oriental beauty had stepped down, and beside her was a handsome young Asian man.
The two are richly dressed, with a large brimmed hat, wearing a long light blue skirt, chest. He wears a dazzling diamond necklace with an incomparably precious ruby at the end of the necklace, which shines brightly in the early morning light.
The Asian man was dressed in a decent suit and held a civilized stick in his hand, which seemed to be very ordinary, but many people's eyes couldn't help but stay on him for a few more moments, and his demeanor was impressive.
Ruth was no exception, she had never seen such an attractive Asian face, nor had she ever seen an Asian who caused such a stir.
"I knew it had to be him." Carl beside him said with some taste.
When Ruth heard this, she asked the fiancé next to her curiously for the first time: "Who is he?" ”
This was the first thing Ruth said to herself today, and Carl said with a gentlemanly demeanor: "This is a great Oriental, a legend of Wall Street, and half of Wall Street's wealth belongs to him." It's no wonder that there are these cars, and he is also the largest shareholder of Ford Motor Company. ”
Carl is also a person who belongs to the ranks of the top rich, knows the circle of high society, and the Chinese in front of him is quite legendary in the eyes of all the top rich people.
No one in the United States underestimated him because of his Chinese status, and it was the same in Europe, even the VIP of all the royal families in Europe.
Carr added: "In Europe he was awarded the title of noissity in almost every country, and he was also an earl of the British Empire, and King George V had invited him to dinner the night before. ”
"Are you jealous of him?" Ruth said to Carl in a rare voice.
Carl did not and was super rare not to answer his fiancée's words, because he was indeed a little jealous, and this Chinese had to surpass him in any aspect, because people relied on their own efforts to get everything they have today, and he relied on his family.
The main thing is that Carl knew that his father wanted to visit the legend, but he was always refused, and his father did not dare to be angry.
Mrs. Ruth, who was on the side, covered her mouth in some surprise when she heard Carl's words. Ba, looking at the young Oriental man on the dock, his eyes were full of shock.
Carl wordlessly walked into the cabin with his fiancée and mother-in-law-to-be, and at the same time, Sha Junyi took Fan Yize's arm and walked up the gangway.
Unlike everyone else, he did not need to be hauled at the salute center, and the crew personally pulled the salute behind them and boarded the ship together.
On the other side of the boarding gate is the medical examination channel for the upper class cabin, and all guests in the third class cabin are required to undergo a medical examination before they can board the ship.
In the crowd, a handsome white teenager looked at Fan Yize, who was waiting on the ship in the distance, put away the look of envy in his eyes, and pulled away the physical examiner's examination of his hair: "I don't have fleas." ”
Class and ubiquitous, the first-class cabin is located at the top of the ship, with a separate open-air balcony, lavishly decorated interiors, famous paintings on the walls, expensive utensils, gold, silver and diamonds.
The second-class cabin is more ordinary, similar to the layout of a hotel, and the configuration is not bad.
As for the third-class cabin, it is completely different, not only on the bottom floor of the cabin, but also the beds are very crowded, and there are all kinds of people.
These are all passengers who immigrated to the United States, and they are all young people who want to work hard in the United States.
Compared with the rich and nobles in the first-class and second-class cabins, the atmosphere in the third-class cabins is more harmonious, the relationship between the crowd is much more harmonious, there is no copper smell, you can talk very openly in a few words, the racial barriers are much lighter, and you can quickly get acquainted with each other when you meet and greet them.
