Liu Bufan smiled lightly: “I think that the third class is comfortable and uncomfortable, and Mr. Ismay of the White Star Company can give you a more appropriate and full answer.” ”

Ismay naturally easily tasted Ruth’s hostility towards Liu Bufan, and did not want to get involved, but Liu Bufan mentioned the affairs of the Titanic, and he suddenly smelled good wine like a drunkard…

Jiao’s proud boasting of the unprecedented greatness of the Titanic to the outside world is Ismay’s pleasure and satisfaction, and this is what he is most passionate about.

“The Titanic has the best third-class cabin in the world…”

The third class cabins of most shipping companies are housed in the most dangerous place on board, the front of the bottom compartment. Passengers, men, women and children are huddled together to sleep in bunks, and the conditions are very poor, there is a lack of basic protection, lack of medical care, even insufficient food, and female passengers are harassed. The third-class cabin of the Titanic is strictly divided into 4 parts, a small number of single men and all single women, couples and large families with families are placed in the aft compartment, and there are single chuangs, mirrors, coat hooks, washbasins and other daily necessities in the cabin, which are dense, comfortable and tidy. In each room, there is also a calling bell that can be summoned at any time. The Titanic is also equipped with a library reading room, a smoking room, and plenty of food in the restaurant for third-class passengers….

“Third-class passengers from other shipping companies will step into heaven and receive respect and dignity that they have never enjoyed in their lifetime, and the Titanic will be an unforgettable journey for them.”

Ismay’s boasting of the Titanic stretched out like a gushing river, and it was out of control, and other rich people echoed their admiration, completely marginalizing Liu Bufan’s provocateur Ruth.

Ruth was dumb and couldn’t say anything, only hoping that Ismay would shut up soon.

Seeing that Ruth was not working, Carl couldn’t sit still.

Finally, when Ismay stopped talking dryly, Carl spoke.

Karl first recounted the incident that happened at the stern of the boat last night, which successfully attracted the great doubts of the rich people, and then faced Liu Bufan: “Mr. Liu, why don’t you talk about the cable that should not appear in the stern, you promised to give an explanation tonight.” ”

“White Star’s ships have strict rules and regulations, and it is absolutely not allowed to tamper with the lifeboat spare cables.” Ismay was a little annoyed that the passengers automatically used the White Star Company’s property without permission, and quickly changed his face, “Mr. Liu, you really need an explanation. ”

The rich people’s doubtful gazes fell on Liu Bufan.

Ruth was anxious for Liu Bufan, but she herself did not know about the matter, let alone come up with a convincing explanation.

Liu Bufan looked as usual, and said calmly: “As everyone thinks, the lifeboat spare cable is placed on the wheelhouse deck, and it will not run to the aft deck for no reason, it must have been taken by someone.” ”

“Of course.” Carl pressed, “Honesty is the most basic code of conduct, did you take it?” ”

“Yes.” Liu Bufan nodded.

“What, you really took it… This is theft, criminal conduct. Ruth almost screamed, she finally caught the opportunity to attack Liu Bufan, and immediately said mercilessly, “The ship guards should arrest you.” ”

“Mom…” Ruth protested her mother’s ruthlessness.

The countess also spoke for Liu Bufan: “Don’t worry, you should listen to Mr. Liu’s explanation first.” ”

Liu Bufan smiled at Ruth and the countess, signaled that he didn’t care, and then responded to Ruth: “Madame said seriously, the crime of theft is premised on illegal possession, I did not illegally possess the cable, at most, it was to use the property of the White Star Company.” ”

“Spare cables are life-saving equipment, and unauthorized use is a very serious act.” Andrews, the chief designer of the Titanic, said solemnly.

As the chief designer, Andrews is very concerned about the safety of the ship, and to be honest, Liu Bufan’s unauthorized use of spare cables makes him angry.

Most of the other wealthy people also agreed with Andrews, believing that Liu Bufan lacked education, and the banquet became a criticism of the poor by the rich.

Liu Bufan did not panic, and argued: “That’s right, the spare cable is life-saving equipment, and life-saving equipment is of course used to save people.” Excuse me, am I using the cable to save people? If I hadn’t used the cables, would the tragedy have already happened? ”

The rich people were speechless for a while, but Karl quickly countered: “The problem is that your use of the cable happened before Ruth was in distress, and this is where we want you to explain clearly.” ”

“This…” Liu Bufan spread his hands and shook his head, “Unfortunately, I can’t explain.” ”

“What?” A lot of rich people have changed color.

Carl almost jumped: “Are you kidding us?” ”

“I still think of something that I can’t explain…”

Liu Bufan did not respond positively to Karl, he did not have to please the rich, in the circle of the rich class, only money can represent status. Under the objective condition that he has no wealth, no matter how groveling he deliberately panders, he will not be accepted.

What Liu Bufan urgently needs at the moment is not to pander, but to make the Titanic leader impressed by everything about him and pay attention to it.

“What else are you going to do?” Carl almost roared.

“Make a prophecy.”

“Prophecy, what prophecy?” The interest of the rich was thoroughly aroused.

Liu Bufan said slowly and heavily: “Today is the evening of April 12, and I predict that two days later, on April 14, the Titanic will receive radio iceberg warnings from nearby ships continuously. In the afternoon, the temperature plummeted and the sea began to freeze. In the middle of the night, an iceberg suddenly appeared in the mist directly in front of the Titanic, collided with the Titanic, and then the sea began to pour into the ship. ”

With Liu Bufan’s identity, his words had no weight. Calm euphemisms that don’t work well are likely to be seen as a joke by the rich, while mysterious prophecies are a good choice.

This was the method that Liu Bufan had already thought of before deciding not to change into the countess’s evening dress.

Listening to Liu Bufan’s words and clear prophecy details, the rich people were all shocked, but more often they felt crazy.

“Mr. Liu, do you know what you’re talking about? It’s crazy. ”

“I wasn’t drunk and knew exactly what I was talking about. The prophecy sounds crazy, but when it comes true, it will be found that it is not crazy at all, but has inevitable cause and effect. ”

“So, Miss Ruth’s distress was also in your expectation, so you moved the cable beforehand?”

“Yes, this is an instance of my prophecy being fulfilled.” ……

Liu Bufan calmly and calmly responded to the doubts of the rich people one by one.
