Chapter Ninety-Six: One Punch
Early the next morning, as soon as Zhang Wei finished exercising, Liu Nan's phone called.
He and Xu Haidong alone took out 10 million US dollars to buy Zhang Wei to knock out Charles in the first round, and asked Zhang Wei to work harder, so as not to let their 10 million US dollars go down the drain. And it is not only Liu Nan and Xu Haidong who bought Zhang Wei to win, Zhang Shilan, Zhang Shifan, Xu Yanan, Bai Xiaofei, Luo Jin and others also sent text messages, all bought Zhang Wei to win, but these people bought either to win or lose in the round, or simply to win or lose. Among them, Luo Jin bought a total of 50,000 US dollars, which was raised by Luo Jin, Liu Tianqing, Zhao Shanhe, Li Zhiwen and Luo Jin's girlfriend Chi Mei, 10,000 yuan each. The most ruthless are Zhang Shilan and Xu Yanan, Zhang Shilan is all the savings of 832000.00 were taken out and exchanged for a total of 123354.00 US dollars, and all of them were bought by Zhang Weiying. And Xu Yanan took out a million dollars to buy Zhang Wei to win, which made Zhang Wei unexpected, Zhang Wei remembered that Xu Yanan had not been in touch for a long time, and this little girl was enough, she didn't know what Zhang Wei was capable of, and she took out a million dollars purely out of support.
Zhang Wei opened the website and looked at the odds of betting on "winning or losing", which is 1.5 to 1.5 regardless of the principal, which is equivalent to 1.5 times, so that 50,000 US dollars can win 75,000 US dollars, and Zhang Shilan can get 185,000 US dollars, now Zhang Shilan's net worth should be directly doubled, as for Xu Yanan, he will win more, not to mention Liu Nan and Xu Haidong, they actually bet on the "round" , that's a loss of five, 10 million out, 60 million back, cut off the principal, 500% of the income in one day, there should be no faster money in the world.
Zhang Wei didn't expect that he would be able to bring a lot of income to his girlfriend and friends after boxing overseas, so he thought that he should also buy a little, he now owes the crew six million, and he can stop the stop loss if he wins some money. Zhang Wei moved this thought, so he logged in to the Swiss bank on the computer, directly transferred 30 million from the more than 100 million US dollars obtained from selling gold, and placed bets from three lottery companies. Zhang Wei bought 10 million to win, 10 million to win in the first round, and 10 million to be even more ruthless, buying the project with the highest odds of 1 to 10, "Zhang Wei knocked out Charles with one blow". The so-called "one-hit KO Charles" specifically refers to Zhang Wei's first shot on stage to make him fall to the ground and lose the ability to resist, this option is actually a gimmick of Bo Cai Company, and it corresponds to another gimmick, "Charles knocks out Zhang Wei with one blow", but the option of "one-hit KO Zhang Wei" is not as exaggerated as 1 to 10, only 1 to 3, which should be considered that Charles is the UFC featherweight champion after all, and he is worried that Zhang Wei really can't stand a punch, so it will be a big loss.
After Zhang Wei bet on the Internet, he went downstairs to have a breakfast, during the breakfast, he saw a tour group that did not know which country, then he remembered that he had come to Los Angeles for the second time, but he was not able to take a good tour of this place, last time he wanted to take a quick walk around Hollywood with Zhang Shilan, but because Pete was in a hurry to meet with him, he was in vain, and there was nothing to do about a day today, so after breakfast, Zhang Wei asked Li Mo to be his guide, go to Hollywood, and plan the Avenue of Fame last time, I took a good look at the wax museum and the Huaxia Grand Theater, and I didn't return to the hotel until dark, and I didn't look a little nervous at all.
The night passed quickly, and it was finally time to get into the ring. In the morning, Zhang Wei finished breakfast at the hotel leisurely, as yesterday, changed into casual clothes unhurriedly, and set off with Li Mo in the car arranged by the service company to the boxing competition venue agreed to fight. When Zhang Wei arrived, the entrance to the boxing stadium was already crowded, some of them were journalists, who of course spared no effort for the news, but the vast majority of the audience were spectators, and many people in the Stars and Stripes were very keen on exciting, violent and high-intensity confrontational sports, which was evident from their love of rugby.
Led by the staff, Zhang Wei came to the venue, where Kasman of the service company waited, shook hands with Zhang Wei, and took him to the locker room, where the service company was equipped with masseurs, tactical instructors and four staff members for Zhang Wei, as well as a full set of protective gear, sports shorts, and a full set of things like that.
Kasman introduced these service personnel to Zhang Wei, and after a brief acquaintance between the two sides, Zhang Wei said to Kasman: "Mr. Kasman, I don't think I need these staff, I just want to be quiet now, please take them all out." ”
Hearing Zhang Wei say this, Kasman was not reluctant. He was arranged by the company as one of the leaders of the ring match, so he naturally has a certain understanding of the boxing game, and he also understands that the team formation of any boxer cannot be run in overnight, so he was not surprised that Zhang Wei did not need these staff, so he left with these people.
After more than half an hour, someone from the service company came to the locker room and knocked on the door to remind Zhang Wei that he could play.
Zhang Wei wore a sweatpants and red gloves and followed the staff to the competition venue. The venue is a standard octagonal cage, which is divided into blue and red zones, and the red gloves worn by Zhang Wei mean that he is assigned to rest in the red zone.
"Brother Ting, come on!" A crisp female voice broke the chaos of the scene in the staff area, Zhang Wei looked back and saw that it was Li Mo who was shouting, this little girl was holding Zhang Wei's mobile phone in a live broadcast at the moment. Because Zhang Wei knew that there would definitely be no TV station willing to pay for the broadcast of his match with Charles in Huaxia, in order to let Li Nan and others know the results of the game as soon as possible, Zhang Wei discussed with the service company and asked his assistant to broadcast the live broadcast, for which he paid 30,000 US dollars.
Li Mo's shouting highlighted Zhang Wei's popularity, the scene was already full of spectators at the moment, when Zhang Wei walked out of the passage, the audience did not react, this is not surprising, everyone didn't know him at all, so no one cheered for him, only Li Mo cheered for him.
At this time, Kasman came to Zhang Wei with a referee and said in surprise: "Mr. Zhang, why didn't you wear protective gear?"
"There's no need, I remember that there is a stipulation in the agreement, whether or not to wear protective gear is up to me, right?" Zhang Wei asked.
"Yes, but ......"
"Nothing, didn't you tell me that Charles doesn't wear protective gear either?"
"That's because he's a professional and you're just an amateur, and it's our company's right to fight for you to wear protective gear. ”
"Then it seems that I don't need this right now, I want to beat Charles fairly. ”
"Well, if you insist. Kasman and Zhang Wei are not related, and they don't bother to persuade them.
After the two finished speaking, the referee who came with Kasman walked up to Zhang Wei and checked him to make sure he didn't have any accessories such as metal pendants, which is forbidden in the game.
After some inspection, the referee signaled that Zhang Wei could enter the cage, "take off your shoes, wait in the red zone after entering, and obey the referee's instructions during the game." ”
Zhang Wei had just entered the cage, and Charles from another passage also appeared, this guy was wearing a cape, a wide championship belt on his shoulder, and he also played a set of combination punches on the channel, and then raised his fist high, signaling to the audience, and behind him, there was an assistant carrying a wooden plaque with the four traditional characters of "The Sick Man of East Asia". At this time, the reaction of the audience was completely different from Zhang Wei's appearance just now, and there was a tsunami-like shout, as if the enthusiasm was about to lift the ceiling of the venue.
Charles came to the outside of the octagonal cage, looked at Zhang Wei, who was already waiting in the rest area, made a provocative throat cutting motion, and then began to be inspected by the referee, and also entered the cage.
After Charles came to the ring, he did not go to the blue rest area according to the regulations, but went straight to Zhang Wei's side, looked at Zhang Wei's streamlined muscles, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect you to really dare to fight with me, and I heard that you didn't even buy insurance, what a poor guy, I hope you bring enough money to pay for your medical expenses." ”
Zhang Wei glanced at Charles calmly, didn't even bother to speak, and said directly to the referee: "Mr. referee, is it starting now?"
When the referee heard this, he immediately pulled Charles aside, and after waiting for a short time, the referee received the signal from the arbitration seat in the audience, beckoned to Zhang Wei and Charles, and called the two to the middle of the ring.
The referee put his hands against Zhang Wei and Charles, and then said: "You all know the rules, I need a clean game, don't play yin, you must obey my wisdom, if you understand, you can touch your fist now." ”
Both Zhang Wei and Charles touched each other's gloves as the referee requested.
"Okay, are you ready, are you ready, are you ready!" the referee shouted, quickly closing the distance between him and the two Zhang Wei and Charles.
Charles stood still with a good appearance, his right hand wearing gloves hammered his chest, with a contemptuous expression on his face, and said, "Come, yellow-skinned monkey, I'll let you punch first." ”
The audience saw Charles's arrogant and arrogant appearance, and another burst of cheers rang out.
Zhang Wei looked at the referee and asked, "Mr. Referee, if I punch him down now, it won't be a violation, right?"
"Damn, Charles, it's a game, you get serious. The referee shouted loudly to Charles, and then said to Zhang Wei: "From the beginning of my shouting, as long as you don't knock him down in violation of the law, you won't violate the law." ”
Charles heard the referee's curse for a while, and just looked at Zhang Wei with contempt.
Zhang Wei spread his hands, looked very helpless, and said to Charles, "Are you ready? I'm coming." ”
"Come up and tickle me, hahaha. ”
Zhang Wei slowly walked in front of Charles, and he didn't see how hard Zhang Wei was, and when he raised his hand and moved his arm, he punched Charles's right chin, and the punch was so fast that everyone didn't see it clearly, and even Charles didn't react.
With a punch, Zhang Wei slowly returned to the position he had just stood on, and Charles shook twice in place, and his one-meter-nine body full of explosive muscle blocks fell forward to the ground like a mountain of meat.
This scene made all the sounds of the scene disappear, and the silence was terrifying, to the point where the falling needle could be heard.
After about ten seconds, Zhang Wei coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Referee, should you judge whether he is still conscious now?"
"Huh?" The referee heard Zhang Wei's words, only to recover from the frightened sluggishness, good referee quality made him immediately come to Charles to pick up his head, and began to call Charles, after shouting a few times, the referee immediately signaled the arbitration seat and medical staff to come up, because he found that Charles had lost consciousness and completely lost the ability to play.
Seeing someone enter the octagon, Zhang Wei asked the referee, "Does this mean that I won?"
The referee looked at Zhang Wei in surprise and said, "You won." ”
"Thank you. After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he didn't shout or get excited like the UFC fighters, he was still as calm as when he came, took off his gloves and held them in his hands, quietly walked down from the ring, put on his shoes, and walked to the staff area.
