Chapter 344: Dream Chaser

After Wu Li's interview video was posted on the Internet, it immediately aroused heated discussions on the whole network.

The entries "10 million bonus", "signed professional players", and "three top professional fighting clubs" have been on the hot search one after another, and netizens are amazed by Wu Li's generosity. In the past, Wu Li's image in the eyes of the public was mainly based on personal force, and he didn't feel deeply about his identity as a big boss, but after this time, Wu Li's image of a successful businessman began to take root in the hearts of the people.

......

In the magic capital Jiaxing boxing gym, Xu Zijia went to class as usual.

He is the coach of the Jiaxing Boxing Gym and the owner at the same time.

"That's it for today, class. Xu Zijia said to the students.

These students were all eleven or twelve-year-old children, and they saluted Xu Zijia very politely.

"Goodbye, coach. ”

After making sure that the students were all picked up by their parents, Xu Zijia began to clean up the venue by himself.

"Lao Xu!"

When Xu Zijia was bending down to mop the floor, a voice came from behind him.

Xu Zijia turned to look at Zhao Liang, who was his friend and partner of this gym.

"Ryoko, it's just in time, help clean up. Xu Zijia said.

Zhao Liang pressed the mop in Xu Zijia's hand and handed the phone to the other party, "Don't be busy cleaning yet, take a look at this." ”

"What?"

Xu Zijia took the phone, it was a video, and Zhao Liang helped him click on it.

“...... Anyone who can reach the round of 64 in this tournament will definitely be offered a professional contract ......"

......

It was the video of Wu Li's interview at Penguin Sports.

Xu Zijia's eyes lit up when he heard Wu Li say that the minimum salary is 100,000 yuan a year and the minimum appearance fee is 10,000 yuan;

"How is it, Lao Xu, is your heart moved?" Zhao Liang looked at Xu Zijia's expression and asked with a smile.

Xu Zijia returned the phone to Zhao Liang and pursed his lips, "It's really a little exciting." ”

"Haha!" Zhao Liang slapped Xu Zijia on the shoulder with a smile, "That's it, sign up, with your strength, you can at least reach the top 64, maybe there is hope for the top 16, that is, 500,000 to get it!"

Xu Zijia hesitated a little: "Wu Li offered such a high bonus, and there are such conditions, there must be many people who are excited." And they also said that they would invite Asian ONE and UFC masters to compete, I have been retired for seven years, the top 16 is a dream, and the top 64 are hanging. ”

Zhao Liang shook his head: "You are just too modest, you are a person who has entered the national team, big brother!"

Xu Zijia laughed at himself: "It's someone who was eliminated by the national team, and I practice boxing, not mixed martial arts." ”

Zhao Liang: "If you weren't impulsive, maybe you would have won the Olympic gold medal now!"

Xu Zijia's eyes darkened, he entered the national team at the age of 17, his talent is very high, and he has high hopes, and he was very hopeful to play in the Olympics. As a result, he was proud of his talents, young and vigorous, clashed with others outside, and contradicted the coach, and was finally expelled from the state.

After leaving the national team, Xu Zijia and Zhao Liang, a good friend of the provincial team, partnered to open this boxing gym in the magic capital, teaching people to box, and the business was okay, so he bought a suite in the magic capital in a few years and paid a down payment.

"Don't hesitate Lao Xu, I know you've always wanted to return to the game, you're still young, you're only 25 years old this year, why don't you fight if you have the chance?" Zhao Liang said.

When they first knew that Wu Li was going to hold a large-scale mixed martial arts competition, Xu Zijia and Zhao Liang were just watching the excitement and had no intention of participating in the competition. However, now that they know the conditions set by Wu Li, both of them are moved.

The prize money of 10 million is too far away, but Wu Li's promise to sign a professional player, have a guaranteed salary and appearance fee, and can receive training from top professional clubs, these conditions are too attractive for those who want to take the professional route!

"How many sessions do you think this Yanhuang will be able to do?" asked Xu Zijia.

Zhao Liang: "I think it must be more reliable than those previous competitions, I went to the Internet to check the three professional fighting clubs that Wu Li acquired, they are really top clubs! It has cultivated many well-known professional players, dozens of boxing champions! You think, Wu Li bought three such clubs in one go, he must want to hold the competition for a long time, and make it a professional league like the UFC in the United States in the future." ”

"It's the same as UFC?" Xu Zijia was stunned for a moment, "Do you think it's possible?"

Zhao Liang: "It's possible! How popular is Wu Li now? With his fame and willingness to throw money, can this competition be popular? Once it becomes popular, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money? As long as you can make money, won't there be hope that it will continue to be held?"

Xu Zijia was silent for a moment, and he admitted that he was moved.

One of the most worrying things about being a professional fighter is that your income is unstable, and there are no periodic tournaments for you to play in China, maybe you will finish a few matches this year, and you will not be able to find a tournament for the next year or two, or you can only play some informal small tournaments, and the money you earn is not enough for medical expenses.

And now the signing contract given by Wu Li at least shows a little bit of the prototype of the professional league, so that those who want to take the professional route can have the most basic guarantee: the minimum guaranteed salary of 100,000 yuan, even if it is not a big game, at least they will not starve to death!

"If we want to compete, we must at least train systematically for a period of time to recover our condition, and we have to find someone to learn ground skills, so we definitely don't have time to teach boxing, what should we do in the gym?" Xu Zijia asked.

Zhao Liang had obviously thought about it a long time ago, looked at Xu Zijia and said directly: "Shut down for a while." ”

Xu Zijia: "If we really reach the top 64 and Yan Huang is determined to sign a contract with us, what should the gym do?"

"Then it's not open!" Zhao Liang said dryly.

"Are you sure?" Xu Zijia looked at Zhao Liang.

The two of them have been in business for seven years and have put in a lot of hard work, and it is not easy to get to where they are today. And Zhao Liang is now going to give up his business for seven years for an illusory future.

A smile appeared on Zhao Liang's face: "Lao Xu, don't ask me, ask yourself, just open a boxing gym here for a lifetime and teach boxing to a group of children, are you willing?"

Xu Zijia pursed his lips and did not speak.

His dream was to win a gold medal at the Olympics, but after being expelled from the national team, that dream could never be realized. But he still loves the ring, the power of fists to the flesh, the excitement of constantly dodging in the slightest, and the blood of gritting his teeth and competing with others!

Xu Zijia's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he smiled and nodded: "You're right, Lao Tzu is fucking unwilling!"

"I want to go to the ring!"

"Lao Tzu wants to box, I want to knock out my opponent!"

"I want to win the championship, I want to hear the audience scream for me!"

"Hahahaha!"

Zhao Liang laughed and smashed his fist into Xu Zijia's chest, "Then fuck it!"

"Let's go, sign up!"

......

In the imperial capital, Wang Xing rode an electric car to deliver the last takeaway of the day.

He dragged his tired body back to the rented 30-square-meter room, changed into delivery clothes, changed into sportswear and sneakers, washed his face with cold water, and then went out.

He listened to the music as he started running along the side of the road.

It's his homework every day, running 15 kilometers at night.

Running to a park and coming to a secluded place, Wang Xing put away the headphones, took out the rope he had brought with him, and began to jump rope.

There are fifty in one group, and there are twenty groups in total.

Wang Xing, who was already sweating profusely after the jump, did not rest, but put a brick on the ground, and then he stepped on it with his left foot first, quickly put it down, and his footsteps moved, this time he stepped on it with his right foot.

In this way, Wang Xing constantly changed his steps regularly, exercising his body coordination and flexibility of footwork.

The reason why he has to practice these is because he is not only a delivery man, but also a professional boxer.

He studied sanda at a martial arts school since he was a child, and when he grew up, he originally wanted to take the professional route, but due to financial reasons, he could only work part-time to support himself while participating in fighting competitions.

Over the years, Wang Xing has fought in free fighting competitions, boxing competitions, mixed martial arts competitions, and has tried all kinds of ways, and has also achieved some results, but he has never made a name for himself.

The reason why I came to the imperial capital is also because there will be more fighting competitions and more opportunities.

He dreams of becoming famous one day, so he keeps training every day.

Feeling that the mobile phone was vibrating, Wang Xing stopped training and took out the mobile phone from his pocket, which was a call from his mother.

"Mom?"

"Son, how are you doing?"

"It's good. ”

"I've sent you a few pieces of clothing and some food, you remember to take them. ”

"Oh, they all said that there is no need to send anything, I have food and clothing here. ”

"Okay, okay, I won't send it next time, you can come back next month. ”

"What?"

"Aunt Zhang introduced you to a partner, come back and meet. ”

"Mom, I said I wanted to go on a blind date!"

"You're 28 years old, you're still single, what do you want to do if you don't go on a blind date?"

"Then I don't have a car, a house or a deposit, and my relatives don't look down on me, I won't go back!"

"You're embarrassed to say, tell me about you, you don't listen to you if you want to go back to your hometown and find a stable job, you have to stay in the imperial capital to box, what did you fight?"

......

Then it was the familiar rhetoric, and Wang Xing hung up the phone depressedly.

He sighed and did not continue training, but ran back to the music.

When Wang Xing passed by a bus stop and saw a billboard on it, he suddenly stopped.

"Yan Huang decides, enters the top 64, and becomes a signed player!"

There are several large red fonts, and the background canvas is Wu Li wearing a white martial arts uniform.

There is also a detailed introduction in the lower right corner of the billboard about the various benefits of becoming a signed player.

"Contracted player ......"

Wang Xing stood in front of this billboard and looked at it for a long, long time.
