"Zhou Quan, who are they?"
"Reporter."
"All reporters?"
Zeng Li was surprised. He knew that Zhou Quan was an international sports star, but as a non-sports fan, the news in China was still relatively closed. He had no idea about Zhou Quan's popularity and influence in the United States. Now he saw so many foreign reporters following Zhou Quan. Right, she finally understood a little bit. It turned out that her boyfriend was really a big star in the United States.
"Iron Fist, is this your girlfriend this year?" a reporter asked.
Zhou Quan was glad that Zeng Li didn't understand English, otherwise he would probably turn around and run away after hearing this sentence.
After driving away from the airport, Zhou Quan said, "Ahli, I'll take you to the hotel first, have something to eat, and you can have some sleep first."
"I'm not sleepy. I slept on the plane." Zeng Li shook his head.
"Okay, it's better to get jet lagged in the evening. I'll take you shopping for clothes in the afternoon, and we'll fly to Las Vegas in the evening," he said.
"Buying clothes again? I didn't even wear a few of the clothes I bought last time. They were all new, so there's no need to buy them." Zeng Li shook his head.
He shook his head and smiled: "No, the current clothing styles in China cannot keep up with those in the United States. The fashion trends in this world are from Europe and America to Asia, from Japan to Xiangcheng, and finally to China. The clothes that are now popular in China are Styles have long gone out of fashion here.
When you come to the United States, how can you not buy some clothes? Clothes, jewelry, perfume, bags, shoes, all these have to be bought again, buy more, change them every day, and don’t bring any duplicates for a month. You need to have a special room at home to hang clothes, a cloakroom as big as 200 square meters. "
Zeng Li looked at Zhou Quan and didn't know what to say. He thought to himself, why is it so troublesome to be your girlfriend? There are so many clothes, I don’t know how long it will take to choose what to wear in the future.
At this time, the car entered the city. Zeng Li looked out the window at the bustling streets and said with emotion: "It's so developed here, even more developed than the capital."
Zhou Quan smiled and said: "The country is also developing. As long as we find the direction, it will develop very quickly. Our current population is a huge consumer market. As long as there is a consumer market, we can develop very quickly.
You see, in the past, when dynasties changed and the mountains and rivers were shattered, they could often develop within a few decades. The Wenjing rule, the Zhenguan rule, and the Kangxi and Qianlong dynasties all appeared within a few decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Why, because there was no war. Once the population increases, it can develop.
Now we have reached this period in our country. I think that in a few decades at most, our country will have a prosperous era. This is an unbreakable law of historical development. "
"You work and live in the United States, how confident are you in the country?" Zeng Li said with a smile.
"Of course, I haven't immigrated yet and I don't want to lose my identity as a Chinese." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
Zeng Li sighed again: "We have many classmates in Beijing Opera who want to immigrate. I once had a female classmate from Fuzhou who only studied for three years and then stopped studying. I heard that her whole family smuggled themselves to the United States. I didn't know. how is it now."
"Then they will regret it later." Zhou Quan said with certainty.
"Why? Even if the country can develop, how can they regret it when the United States is so developed?" Zeng Li asked confused.
Zhou Quan explained: "The United States is indeed powerful. The behemoth Soviet Union is no longer there. The past few years have been its most powerful period.
But it also has its laws, and it certainly has its periods of decline. Moreover, you only see its prosperity, and soon we will pass through some slums, and you will know that in the United States, there is really not gold everywhere. This is a world for the rich, but it is not a paradise for the poor. "
Soon, the car passed by a slum, with dilapidated houses and homeless people everywhere on the streets, with hopeless faces. As the car passed by, it encountered several robberies.
Zeng Li saw such a neighborhood for the first time. Although the country was poor, there were no such polarized neighborhoods in a city, which opened her eyes.
"The black man who robbed just now fired a gun, did you hear it?" Zhou Quan asked with a smile.
"Ah, isn't that a firecracker?" Zeng Li was startled.
"Haha, it's the sound of a pistol." Zhou Quan laughed.
"Is this place so dangerous?" Zeng Li's face turned a little pale.
Zhou Quan smiled and said: "We have been banning guns in the country for the past two years. I heard that the battle of Mayingrad with thousands of people took place in Nanhu in the year before last. These things in the United States are actually child's play. Our military ethics are actually far superior to theirs. The founding war proved this, haha!”
"I've heard about it too. I heard that a lot of troops were used." Zeng Li nodded hurriedly.
Zhou Quan warned: "The United States does not prohibit guns, so you should try to come to these blocks as little as possible in the future, don't park here when driving by, or try not to pass by these blocks.
Another thing to remember is that you should never go out at night. No matter which city in the United States, even wealthy areas are not very safe at night.
Of course, as I said just now, the United States is a world dominated by rich people. Such slums are very chaotic, but they are still quite safe in rich areas. I mean during the day. "
After arriving at the hotel, settling down, and having lunch, Zhou Quan took Zeng Li shopping.
In one afternoon, hundreds of shopping bags were delivered to the hotel room, and the living room was almost full.
Zeng Li is a clothes hanger. She was born in Tsing Yi. She has a great temperament, a very good figure, and a good height. She looks stylish in all clothes and shows off her figure.
However, it takes a lot of effort to choose clothes. She has to choose clothes that are not revealing. She is still very conservative after coming from a Peking Opera background.
When she came back from shopping, she saw a room full of bags. She said with a sad face: "It will be troublesome in the future. There are so many clothes, how can I choose?"
"It doesn't matter, just pick slowly. It takes one hour to choose clothes, one hour to put on makeup, and one hour to drink coffee. The whole morning is over." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zeng Li couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan came over and put his arms around Zeng Li's slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and said with ambiguous eyes: "Ah Li, I feel that the way you look at me is getting more and more charming."
"Where?"
Zeng Li was so embarrassed that he blocked Zhou Quan's mouth from kissing him with a blushing face.
After dinner, her energy level gradually decreased. Zhou Quan took her on a small plane and flew to Las Vegas next door, dozing off constantly along the way.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Zeng Li came out of the airport in a Rolls-Royce arranged by the MGM Hotel. The bright street lights of Las Vegas made Zeng Li's drowsiness disappear and he became energetic again.
"Is this the world's casino city, Las Vegas?"
Even in the capital, she has never seen such a night scene. It consumes too much electricity.
"This is a gambling city, a city that never sleeps. It's nothing if you see too much. When Americans come here, they are just like you now, looking around with their mouths open." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Why are you looking around with your mouth open?" Zeng Li was so embarrassed that he punched Zhou Quan.
"Ha ha……"
Soon, the car arrived at the MGM Hotel.
In addition to the car for the two of them, there were several cars with suitcases behind them, and they brought all the shopping. As soon as they arrived at the door of the hotel, seven or eight waiters came over with a huff.
Zeng Li got out of the car and looked at the five-star luxury hotel. He opened his mouth again and quickly closed it again thinking of Zhou Quan's teasing just now. But entering the magnificent lobby, her little mouth opened again.
"Is this the palace?"
She held Zhou Quan's hand and asked cautiously.
"The history of the United States is too short. There is no king. At most, it is a slave owner. How can there be an emperor? It is just a luxuriously decorated hotel, and we tenants are the bosses." Zhou Quan joked.
After a night of jet lag, Zeng Li woke up to a knock on the door in the morning and looked at the luxurious bedroom, feeling like he was in a dream.
How could she, an ordinary girl from an ordinary working-class family, suddenly meet a boyfriend like Zhou Quan and come to the United States?
Is it really like what Azhen said, that it was determined by fate? Will it be a good match? Can Zhou Quan really be trusted with him for life? She was a little uneasy.
She was distracted when the knock on the door rang again. She quickly got up and opened the bedroom door and went to the living room. When she opened the door, she saw that it was Zhou Quan.
"At eight o'clock, you wash up and we go have breakfast." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Um."
Looking at the gentle smile on her boyfriend's face, Zeng Li felt particularly at ease.
"When will you start training?" she asked.
"I got up at five o'clock and have been training for two and a half hours." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Ah, are you training so early?"
Zeng Li said with some embarrassment: "I usually get up at six o'clock, and the first thing I do is hang my throat. I overslept today."
"We're not acting here, so we don't have to get up so early. By the way, I haven't heard you sing yet. When will you sing for me?"
"OK!"
…
"Huhuhu..."
In a private boxing training room in Las Vegas, Zhou Quan was concentrating on dodge training. Fists hit his ears from time to time, but he was always able to dodge them with just a hair's breadth.
He did not use a training ball to train his dodges, but actual training, where he would dodge while the boxer continued to hit.
His sparring partner is a professional heavyweight boxer, ranked among the top 30 in the world by the four major boxing organizations. Bob Arum specially hired him for him, and he is very strong.
His weight is too light compared to other heavyweight boxers, resulting in insufficient striking power, especially heavy punches. Even if his strength has reached level 87, it is still not enough.
Therefore, he must give full play to his advantages, such as movement speed, full-level spatial imagination, full-level panoramic vision, dodge ability, precise strikes, wingspan advantage, etc.
What he now wants to focus on training is boxing pace, dodge and precise strikes, as well as actual combat.
Normally, he maintains an hour of boxing training every day, mainly dodge and boxing training. Although the training time is still much lower than that of other professional boxers, another year has passed, and his dodge and boxing skills are getting better and better. , the use of full-level spatial imagination is getting better and better.
Zeng Li sat not far away and watched Zhou Quan train with fear. He was afraid that Zhou Quan would be hit and sometimes stood up nervously.
Zhou Quan is quite handsome. Although she is not a Yan Party member, she doesn't want his face to be swollen.
"Shet!"
After an hour, the sparring partner threw hundreds of punches, but only hit Zhou Quan five times, all of which were on the armrest. They were not considered effective strikes. He was so angry that he cursed.
In his opinion, being a sparring partner for Iron Fist really hurts his self-confidence and makes him unable to hit.
Later, when Iron Fist practices boxing and actual combat, he will have to be beaten into a bun again, which is really not cost-effective.
"Ha ha……"
Contrary to him, Zhou Quan's team laughed happily.
"Iron Fist, your dodge and defense skills are getting better and better." Zhou Quan's coach is still the same Hans. His level is good, so he will be used this time.
"After practicing for a year, I must make some progress." Zhou Quan gasped.
He didn't finish training until 9 o'clock in the evening. At 10 o'clock, he took Zeng Li back to the MGM Hotel and went to the casino to check it out.
Zeng Li is an absolute novice, and novices generally have good luck, losing less and winning more. After winning twenty to thirty thousand US dollars, his hands and feet were so weak that he almost had a heart attack, and he refused to gamble anymore.
…
Starting from the 10th, major gambling companies in the casino city, as well as other gambling companies around the world, and even several major casinos in Macau, have opened handicap for this game.
Different from Zhou Quan's last boxing match, there is no obvious gap between him and his opponent in the odds of this match.
But the vast majority of gambling companies are still more optimistic about Michael Muller. His odds are a little higher, with the highest odds reaching 1:129, while Muller's highest odds are only 1:121.
On the 14th, many NBA stars and Hollywood stars came to Las Vegas, and many celebrities and wealthy people from all over the United States also arrived in the casino on their private planes.
In addition to these people, many world boxing champions from the professional boxing world arrived, such as Lewis, Holyfield, Riddick Bowe, George Foreman, Michael Tyson, and even boxing champion Ali also came to the casino.
"I'm optimistic about that little Chinese guy. His control over space is even better than mine. The feeling of space is incredible. But he has to learn my butterfly step before he can win the world boxing championship belt, haha!" Ali! quipped during an interview at the airport.
"George, who do you like more?" the reporter asked.
As the person who knocked Michael Muller out of the ring with one punch, a trace of disdain flashed in Foreman's eyes. He looked down on Michael Muller.
After Mueller defeated Holyfield, he won two gold belts. A lot of boxing champions, including himself, wanted to defend their titles with Mueller, but he chose himself, a 45-year-old guy. Ming was bullying him for being old, but the fact was that he punched Muller out of the ring.
"I'm betting on both Iron Fist and Hammer," he said.
The meaning of this statement is very clear, he doesn't like anyone.
But with his strength and status, no one dared to refute his words.
"Michael, who are you more optimistic about?" A reporter interviewed Tyson.
"They are more optimistic about Hammer, but I know that Iron Fist has a better chance. I bet on him and hope that he will not let me down." Tyson said with a smile.
