071 Persistence in the heart
After Arum finished speaking, a strange smile appeared on Huang Yifei's face, just like Arum said, as long as he signed a contract with a "top" boxing promotion company, he would get the best promotion and publicity, and soon his fame would rise to a level, and his worth would increase exponentially.

You must know that in terms of the value of athletes in later sports, boxers have surpassed a number of football and basketball stars and stood at the top of the list. And this is still the appearance fee for playing games, if it is according to China's national conditions, there are various endorsement entertainment activities, and the income can be said to be almost astronomical compared with now.
Huang Yifei is also a mortal, and it is difficult to say that he is not moved in the face of this temptation. But in addition to money, people always have to have some other pursuits, such as dreams, such as honor, and persistence in their hearts.
So at this time, Huang Yifei replied with a smile: "Mr. Arum, I know your reputation as a professional boxing promoter, and I also know that you have unearthed many professional boxing champions. Thank you very much Mr. Arum for your kindness, but I'm sorry that I don't want to go into professional boxing right now. ”
As soon as Huang Yifei's words came out, an unexpected expression appeared on Arum's face, and it is no exaggeration to say that in the world's boxing world, there are countless people who want to sign with his "top" company. Today, I came to find Huang Yifei in person, this young man actually rejected his kindness, could it be that he really didn't understand what signing a contract with him would bring him?
"Fei, I personally advise you to consider this suggestion carefully, you have to know how much it will help you in the future. Seriously, from my point of view, I can't think of any reason to refuse. After speaking, Arum shrugged his shoulders, he was very puzzled by Huang Yifei's decision.
"Mr. Arlum, becoming a professional boxer is the goal, and a professional boxing champion is also my dream. From my first day as a boxer, I was taught to have the heart of a boxing champion. But at the moment, I have a more important thing to accomplish, and that is next year's Yenching Olympics, and I have to fight for China and win this Olympic gold medal. ”
In the field of boxing, it is divided into professional boxing and amateur boxing. The competitions in the Olympic Games, World Championships, World Cups and other countries or regions under the International Boxing Federation are all amateur competitions. Once you become a professional fighter, you can no longer participate in events under the umbrella of the International Boxing Federation.
The Olympics may not be the highest stage for boxers, but it is the best stage in the hearts of athletes. Because the meaning of the Olympics is not only a sport, but also represents the expectations of the country and its people. Especially next year's Olympic Games at home, Huang Yifei can't miss it, he wants to use this stage to prove to the world the existence of Chinese fists and Chinese kung fu.
It's just that Huang Yifei said it very seriously, but Arum laughed out loud: "Fei, you are still young, honor does not have to be in the Olympics, professional boxing can still be obtained." Your vision is still too narrow, you must know that under my operation, you are likely to surpass Tyson to become the youngest professional boxing champion, this money and benefits are unimaginable to you now, fragrant cars, beauties, mansions are at your fingertips, only money is eternal!"
Arum is a typical Jew, and in their 2,000-year history, they did not have a mother country, but were known as a world merchant. And the name Arum means witty and intelligent in Hebrew, and he thinks that Huang Yifei is too narrow and persistent, and honor is just the basis of the gold medal, and later he will understand that only money is the most tangible thing.
"There is also an old saying in China, that everyone has their own ambitions, even if I participate in the Olympics, I am confident that I will surpass Tyson and become the youngest professional boxing champion, sorry. ”
Huang Yifei once again rejected Arum's kindness, which made Arum's face feel a deep pity, and he said to Huang Yifei: "Fei, I think you will regret the decision you made today." ”
"I won't regret it, Mr. Arum, since you have been Ali's agent, then I am sure you must remember what Cuban boxing champion Stevenson said. ”
After Huang Yifei said this, with a confident smile on his face, Cuban boxing champion Stevenson won three consecutive Olympic championships since the 1972 Munich Olympics, and was recognized as the best amateur boxer in the world at that time. After the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Don King, a famous American boxing promoter, invited Stevenson to turn professional boxing for $5 million and fight Ali, the heavyweight boxing champion at the time. According to the rules of the International Amateur Boxing Federation at the time, Stevenson would not be able to participate in the Olympic Games if he turned professional.
Between money and national honor, Stevenson chose the latter. "How can 1 million dollars compare to the love of 8 million Cubans?" he rejected the fight of the century with boxing champion Ali. Although he gave up professional boxing, Stevenson earned the respect of not just the eight million Cuban people, but the world.
So when Huang Yifei said this, the expression on Arum's face froze, and he naturally knew Stevenson's words. After the atmosphere froze like this for a few seconds, Arum stood up with a smile and said to Huang Yifei: "Fei, you successfully persuaded me, but my invitation to you today is still valid after you win the Olympic gold medal, the top boxing promotion company, and I personally will always open the door to you!"
"You are opening the door to the Chinese market. Huang Yifei replied with a smile.
Hearing Huang Yifei's words, Arum laughed out loud without caring at all, this is indeed what he thinks in his heart, businessmen always put their interests first. After shaking hands with Huang Yifei and saying goodbye, Arum left a name, as long as Huang Yifei changed his mind, he could call him at any time.
Looking at the back of Arum leaving, Huang Yifei had to admire this Jew, this business sense is so keen, and in the face of commercial value, he doesn't care about his identity at all, and in this case, he found himself who is still an amateur boxing continental champion.
It is no wonder that Arum was able to establish a top boxing promotion company, and it has stood for more than 40 years, and even in the later period, the business development surpassed Don King, and tapped a new generation of middleweight champion Pacquiao, etc., and he does have extraordinary skills.
