I couldn't believe that this scene would happen. Although Li Guolou opened his arms and roared loudly, there were too many doubts lingering in his heart. How could the tall and powerful Tarzan fight so hard? It had only been four rounds. It should be that he was on the defensive, struggling to support the crisis. The bizarre French Concession brought him too many surprises. He loved everything the French gave him. Today's success was given to him by the French. Victory was given to him. The best gift is a child who is about to be born. He fights vigorously, wins cleanly, and has more female confidants. This is the punishment given to him by heaven.
Seeing that the ape Taishan just fainted and woke up in a moment, Li Guolou had many doubts, but he couldn't ask questions. He could only pretend to be concerned and said: "Taishan, are you okay?"
Tarzan trembled slightly and stood firm, feeling ashamed, and whispered: "Mike, you are the real boxing champion. I am convinced that you lost." A boxer without fighting spirit is not worthy of being humble to his opponent, let alone a boxing champion. Title. He lost to the cowardly self in his heart. His greed destroyed himself. He was a boxer with no fighting spirit. The loss was already etched on his face. The defeat was irreversible.
Hearing this, Li Guolou smiled. This time he felt relieved. He proudly faced Xie Liya who was coming towards him. There was someone to share the joy of victory. This was a perfect stage. The joy of success made him cry with joy.
"Xiaolou, don't be like this, it's so embarrassing." Xie Liya's tall figure just covers Li Guolou's crying and ugly face. There are reporters from all over the world next to him, how can it be embarrassing? Everyone in their family has status people.
"Hey!" Li Guolou reached out and took the handkerchief, as if wiping the blood on his cheeks, and wiped away the tears in the corners of his eyes. There is a beauty-loving, feminine, and weak person in his heart, who always lives in his heart, among the flowers. It gave him the feeling of a woman. He must not let outsiders see his weakness. Li Guolou held Xie Liya's hand and accepted interviews with reporters from various countries in a majestic manner.
Tarzan and Jenny walked away with their heads lowered in dejection, refusing to answer the reporter's questions, preparing to buy boat tickets and leave the French Concession in Tianjin as soon as possible. What was left to them here was only nightmares, and what they took away was only a huge fortune, one hundred thousand francs. of gambling money.
On the way, Tarzan slapped someone in the face and told the truth: "Jenny, don't worry. Although I lost, I got more money than the winner."
"Shh..." Jenny carefully looked around and found that no reporter was following her, and then said: "Taishan, forget what happened today. Let's start over. I will erase this day from my book. You His image will always be radiant.”
"Well, Jenny, you are the best. We will go back to the United States tomorrow and forget this ghost place forever." Tarzan quickly got into the carriage, not looking at the scene on the street and forgetting today's fiasco. Having tasted Li Guolou's iron fist, After losing the game, he had no face to stay in the French Concession. He hated the three foreign girls who were asking for too much in bed, causing him to lose his dignity as a man.
Jenny later wrote a book about her and Tarzan, about their passionate love and legendary experiences in Africa. But in this section of Tianjin in the Qing Dynasty, there was no mention of it. As for why they changed their lives when they came to the United States, For the rich? It was because the two of them discovered a treasure while adventuring in the African jungle. Because the books about Tarzan were loved by Americans and became bestsellers, Jenny also published the Tarzan book series, and she became a world-famous Best-selling female author.
At this time, Li Guolou stood side by side with Cyclops Jack, holding a huge check in his hand with "50,000 francs" written on it. The two of them were arm-in-arm, taking pictures for reporters from various countries. Who is the biggest winner? From Li Judging from the facial expressions of Guolou and One-eyed Jack, Li Guolou has a bruised nose and a swollen face. He wishes that the flash of magnesium powder would not light up. He does not want readers to see such an embarrassing image. One-eyed Jack is complacent, with a thick cigar in his hand, and even Add to his glorious image.
French Pravda reporter Eugene raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Mike, what kind of motivation makes you rush forward and win without any suspense."
"Love! Because I am favored by God, and it was God who allowed me to win the competition." Li Guolou said it three times in succession in English, French and German, winning the warmest applause.
Li Guolou's words aroused praise from journalists from various countries. The same belief led them to write Li Guolou as a hero. Foreigners like to deal with people of faith. Tarzan, the ape who walked out of the primitive forest, does not deserve God's blessing. Compassion. Journalists who are good at adapting to the situation have already abandoned the loser Tarzan, followed in the footsteps of the winner, and followed Li Guolou step by step.
A reporter from the British Sun asked loudly: "Mike, Mike, how much of the winnings will you give to Shelia? Can you tell us the specific distribution plan?"
Under Li Guolou's nod, Xie Liya said softly: "In order to help the people who were affected by the Tianjin Mission Case, I am here to announce that half of the 50,000 francs will be donated to the people affected by the disaster in Tianjin, and the other half will be donated to the innocent people affected by the disaster in the seven countries. ."
Now reporters from various countries felt at ease, and they all clapped their hands and praised Li Guolou and his family for their good deeds, which are worth promoting in the concession.
A reporter with pigtails and glasses was particularly eye-catching. With his perseverance, he squeezed his way to the front among the tall crowd of reporters from various countries and pushed the glasses frame that was about to fall off the bridge of his nose. He said loudly: "Master Li, Master Li, I am Huang Guanan, a reporter from Shanghai Report. The editor-in-chief of our report would like you to write an article about the advantages and disadvantages of Eastern and Western cultures? Can you take time out of your busy schedule? , tell the readers of Qing Dynasty what the world is really like in your eyes?"
Reporters from various countries thought that Li Guolou would definitely refuse and would not write an article for the application. Unexpectedly, Li Guolou stared at the crowd who were speaking out, found the four-eyed young man Huang Guanan, and raised his voice: "Mr. Huang, you are reporting the editor-in-chief's request. I promised you to come to my house in two days."
Reporter Huang Guanan was rejoicing at Li Guolou's approval when American Globe female reporter Smedley asked: "Mike, can you tell us how many wives and concubines you have? How do you arrange for them to sleep every night?"
Huh! All eyes were looking at Li Guolou expectantly, hoping to get first-hand news. Li Guolou lowered his head, rushed to the locker room, and said loudly: "No comment!"
"Hey! It's all Smedley's fault. Mike doesn't want to be interviewed anymore." Reporters from various countries complained that Smedley, an American female reporter, would not adopt a roundabout strategy, leaving them without first-hand information.
Smedley's long face remained unmoved. He turned to look at Eugene, the "Four-Eyed Frog", and asked delicately: "Eugene, can you accept my exclusive interview? We can exchange information."
Eugene glanced at the blond and black girl Smedley. Although she was a bit thinner, she still had good looks. She had a figure that was bulging forward and backward, which was the type he liked. Since the other party's secret message had been sent, of course he had no hesitation and swallowed his saliva: "Well! Okay Smedley, let's talk while eating tonight, I'll treat you. ok!"
"Okay!" Smedley would sacrifice everything for her mission as a reporter. Of course, Americans do this as journalists, adhering to the glorious historical tradition. She wanted to make Eugene a softie and use all her fierceness to do so. material.
At this time, reporters from various countries were greatly impressed by the sharp eyesight of the French journalist Eugene. He had followed Li Guolou for many years and unearthed enough material to write a long volume. Regarding the issues that Li Guolou avoided talking about, reporters from various countries turned to Interview with journalist Eugene.
There was also a group of fake foreign devils in the stands, including Du Xianyu, Huang Guang, Chen Bulei, Yu Hanbing and more than 20 people. They claimed to be Li Guolou's best friends and fully supported Li Guolou's patriotic actions. This time Li Guolou During the duel between Lou and Tarzan, they all bet their gambling money on Li Guolou, but at this time they seemed to have lost their bets. As a result, they won a small amount of money. Their insatiable greed, Let the fake foreigners regret recognizing someone as an unkind person.
"You bastard, you don't even know how to tell me something." Du Xianyu sighed in the tone of Li Guolou's future father-in-law. He did not give Li Guolou the greatest support this time and missed an opportunity to turn around. Chaoyang Development Zone is stretched thin. He has been overwhelmed by the capital allocation. The Chaoyang Plan is huge and has huge profits, but the huge initial investment has exceeded 500,000 silver. Most of it relies on loans from HSBC Bank in the UK, and a steady stream of funds will be invested in the later period. This heavy The burden needs the full support of more people. How to adjust the plan of the Chaoyang Plan? Several pieces of this cake have been given out, and Du Xianyu is reluctant to give it to others, so he will activate reserve funds for the time being.
"Hey, it's true, Mike, why didn't you give Taishan a little face? You beat him to the ground in four rounds." Chen Bulei was happy and sad at the same time, saying weird things in a weird way. He looked at the gambling ticket in his hand and wrote: " "One hundred francs" made him want to slap himself in the face.
Huang Guang was ecstatic and said with a naive smile: "Isn't it great? I won money. I'll treat you to bourbon red wine 1846 tonight." Unlike other fake foreign devils, he believed his wife Na Yan's words and thought that Li Guolou He was sure to win. He secretly made a big bet and didn't reveal it until the end of the boxing match. He won more than 30,000 francs. Now Huang Guang is like the big brother in the fake foreign devils, directing the next activities.
Yu Hanbing stroked his moustache and said suspiciously: "You are fat and fat. Even Xiao Lizi's eldest brother and brother-in-law don't dare to bet big. Where did you get the courage? Who gave you the news?"
"Hey! No one gave me the news. It was my wife and I who analyzed it ourselves. Xiao Lizi is now the God of Wealth in the Tianjin Concession. How can foreigners make the God of Wealth of the Qing Dynasty lose face? Doesn't this make Xiao Lizi look bad? Then He will no longer invest in the French Concession. The French have already done this for Xiao Lizi, but he doesn’t know it.” Huang Guang is by no means as honest as he looks on the outside, but is cunning and sinister in his heart, so he can achieve his current status. , because he is good at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
"Oh! Fatty, you have a pretty good mind." Yu Hanbing accepted this explanation. Winning is the last word. Other fake foreign devils are just like playing tickets, turning the paper into money that can be exchanged.
Chen Bulei shouted strangely: "Fat and fat, one-stop service, don't be stingy."
Huang Guang shouted loudly: "Skinny Monkey, I, Huang Guang, have never been stingy before. Let's go! Let's go drink wine and I'll pay for the entry into the shed."
A group of fake foreign devils happily put on top hats, carried sticks, and left the club arrogantly. Their servants at the door held umbrellas for the fake foreign devils. These servants included black people, Indian Asan, and bastards. This time the foreigners were embarrassed. , they lost everything, and they won. Patriotism begins with supporting the national hero Li Guolou. It is rare for these fake foreign devils to have dissent from foreigners. They boasted about buying patriotic gambling tickets on the road. They used practical actions to show that the Qing Dynasty is flowing People with human blood support their own people to defeat the French, and then they have to personally defeat the French chicks in the shed.
At this time, Qiao Benlongxing, the boss of the Black Dragon Club, was sitting alone on a chair in the stands of the guild hall. His old face was full of loneliness. Life has been ups and downs. If he lost the bet this time, he should bear all the blame and deserve the Black Dragon Club. Li Guolou was responsible for the rise and fall of the Black Dragon Society. When Li Guolou saw him sitting alone in the clubhouse, he mockingly bowed his hand to him. This is unbearable! Li Guolou is the sworn enemy of the Black Dragon Society. Who will succeed him as the helmsman of the Tianjin Black Dragon Society? To succeed him, he must inherit his legacy, kill the Qing boxing champion Li Guolou, and fulfill his last long-cherished wish in life.
Li Guolou had no idea what would happen to him when he held his hand with a sneer on his face. At this time, he was in the lounge, applying two bags of ice cubes to his face and looking in the mirror at his bruised and swollen face like a pig's head. .
"Xie Liya, am I disfigured?" Li Guolou was most concerned about his appearance, which he used to charm all the beauties.
"I don't know. We won't find out until two days later." Xie Liya shook her head impatiently. Li Guolou, with a bruised nose and swollen face, could no longer see his true colors.
"Hey!" Li Guolou sighed and put on a piece of clothing with a hat to cover his face. He didn't want to see anyone, so it was best to be invisible. In front of more than a dozen people from "Captain Hook Casino" Under the protection of his bodyguards, he quickly climbed into the carriage in the light rain and left the place where he fought.
