Chapter 192: A Temptation That Can't Be Refused
"Mike, don't be angry, let's have a good talk, it's ruthless to buy and sell. Jack the one-eyed dragon hooked Li Guolou's shoulder, didn't let Li Guolou sit on the seat, and dragged Li Guolou to a round table where no one was there.
"Mike, I adore you so much." A beautiful public relations manager sat on the right side of Li Guolou, and another beautiful public relations manager also invited Yelia over and asked Yelia to sit on the other side of Jack the one-eyed dragon.
The delicate public relations manager began to pour tea and water for them, and told Li Guolou with her charming eyes that she was very interested in Li Guolou.
Jack the One-Eyed Dragon handed Li Guolou a Cuban cigar and said: "Mike, Yelia, you are all my good friends, when have I treated you badly, the benefits are great, in the future, your business will be my business, I will help you in every possible way!" โ
A set of gorgeous opening remarks made Li Guolou shut up and listened to the demagogic speeches of successful people.
Jack the one-eyed dragon took a puff of cigar, exhaled a string of smoke, and said: "Mike, you have extraordinary talent, that's why you are loved by Mrs. Yelia, but you have more than that, you also have a strong aura, just look at this perfect boxing match, how many people support you behind you, of course, there are many people against you, they are all blind, you don't have to blame yourself for killing yourself, I want to say to the two of you, your powerful aura is wasted if you don't use it, this time the entire Tianjin Concession has become crazy for the two of you, You don't know how many people's fates were changed by a boxing match the day before yesterday, but I can reveal one thing, the two of you who jumped into the sea and river can't pull twenty pieces at hand! โ
Li Guolou nodded and said: "I know this, most of them are foreigners, I feel better!" โ
Jack the one-eyed dragon glanced at it and said: "Who told you that there are many foreigners, Mike, you have been deceived, there are many more people in the Qing Dynasty, they all look down on you, and eight out of ten people who jump into the sea and river are dragging pigtails and floating on the water!" โ
Yelia looked at Li Guolou and sneered, this is an example of whether the Qing people themselves believe in their own good deeds, but she, a Frenchman, has made a big gamble, and she is one of the best in the whole gambling game.
Li Guolou said embarrassedly: "Oh, Mr. Jack, I haven't been out of the French Concession, I don't know the situation outside, please continue!" โ
"Mike, I'm optimistic about you, you have a strong appeal, so many people hate you, you are not simple, this time you vented a fearless spirit in the ring, and beat down the Western arrogance, and covered the hat, so those dogs look down on people and the Westerners hate you, the apes Taishan is the representative of the people who hate you, and now the apes Taishan represents the Western powers to you with foul language, and you carry the hope of the rejuvenation of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, you want to be a great person or a groveling person, all of you have a thought." The one-eyed dragon Jack said the words above the national level, staring at Li Guolou with horizontal eyebrows and cold eyes, and he couldn't wait to beat the blood of the Qing people out with two slaps.
Li Guolou touched his cheeks, his face became cloudy, and he said suspiciously: "Mr. Jack, I'm not so great, you look down on me!" โ
"Yes." The people next to him spoke in unison, leaving no room for Li Guolou.
"Mike, I also know that you are in practical difficulties and have many concerns, but it is easy to solve, you and I can work together to talk about a boxing match as a business, this business can make a lot of money, with you Mike Lee, the public enemy of the whole people in the eyes of Westerners, coupled with the box office appeal of Tarzan of the Apes, the showdown of the century between the two of you will attract the attention of the world, and the money will roll in, I want to organize this battle of the century, Mike must give me this face." Jack the one-eyed dragon stared at Li Guolou viciously with one eye, as if he was about to eat the small fish and shrimp on the deck of the ship.
"This ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Li Guolou wanted to open his mouth to refuse the one-eyed dragon Jack's kind invitation.
"I'll give you five thousand francs for appearance, plus a share." Jack the One-Eyed Dragon lowered his voice and slammed his fist on the round mesa, making the deal a deal.
"Ahh Li Guolou and Yelia were stunned, no boxer had ever had such a high appearance fee.
Maung Mei public relations manager Zhengse said: "Mr. Mike Lee, this is our iron hook planning company specially tailored for you plan, please take a good look, we have calculated, as long as you are willing to play more than three rounds, we promise you that no matter whether you win or lose, the guarantee is 20,000 francs, it is likely to exceed 100,000 francs." After saying that, the beautiful public relations manager lightly stepped on Li Guolou's feet with one foot, she was an additional reward, because Yelia sat on the other side, the beautiful public relations manager's body still kept a due distance from Li Guolou, and did not let Yelia see any flaws.
Li Guolou's heart turned over the river, and his strong impulse rushed to his brain, telling himself to be calm, and he must be calm at this time, so that he can benefit more.
Li Guolou held the folder in his hand, his hand was as steady as Mount Tai without trembling, and he said calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Jack, for looking up to me, I will take this plan back and take a look, and reply to Miss Meiguan in two days!" โ
Jack of the one-eyed dragon was strongly dissatisfied: "Hey, Mike, first sign a letter of intent for reporters from all over the world not to run in vain, the plan can be modified, we are such a good trio, it is the three brothers of Taoyuan, you have to listen to the eldest brother Liu Bei, Mrs. Yelia, please give an opinion!" โ
"Mike, then sign it, it's a letter of intent anyway, it's not subject to the law, Mr. Jack, are you right?" Yelia gracefully held the teacup without letting it spill.
Jack the One-Eyed Dragon greeted Yelia and said, "Lady Yeria, please give me this face, and dance with me for the first time later!" โ
"Hmm." Yelia raised the back of her right hand and gave Jack the One-Eyed Dragon a kiss, and she brought the same face to Jack the One-Eyed Dragon.
Hearing that the press conference was held immediately, Jack the one-eyed dragon sat in the middle and enjoyed the stars holding the moon, Li Guolou and Tarzan of the apes scolded each other in the air, and the trash talk continued, which made the reporter addicted.
Tarzan of the Apes didn't eat dinner, sulking and left the international hotel, a group of reporters hesitated, no one wanted to go to the exclusive interview with Tarzan of the Apes, they all stayed for a working dinner, the beautiful public relations manager also sent each reporter a travel fee, ten French silver coins per person, the owner of the Iron Hook Casino, Jack the One-Eyed Dragon, made a generous shot to make the reporter smack, and they all shouted that the newspaper continued to report on the Tarzan of the Apes and Li Guolou Century Boxing Duel.
The preliminary intention of the century boxing duel is to be held in August in the summer, which is a good season in Tianjin in the north, tourists will step on the French Concession one after another, Li Guolou's two boxing masters walked out of the loss, and the banquet was full of nonsense, and Li Guolou must promise not to change the boxing master, and Li Guolou gave a clear reply, and the two boxing masters began to drink wine, and more than 20 tables wore flowers and walked around and toasted to many acquaintances and unknown people.
There are jubilant crowds all around, they have no worries to eat and drink, Li Guolou has all kinds of tastes in his heart, and the boxing king Taishan duel, he can't see the hope of winning, for money, for fame, sell his dignity, "win glory for the country and grab foreign girls" but in exchange for a duel that will definitely lose.
The people at the table were all relatives of Li Guolou, and Li Guolou had no scruples and said: "Don't gamble this time, the winning level is no more than 20%, just come and cheer me on!" โ
Yelia raised his voice and said: "We can't lose our shares, we also have to take practical actions to support Mike, do you say!" โ
Xie Xiuzhu said: "The main thing for Xiaolou is not to break the phase, and if it falls out, it will not be a tooth, and his life will not be guaranteed!" โ
"I know, I know." Li Guolou sighed with emotion, and when he drank it, the red wine tasted great.
"Hey, Xiao Lou has a clear mind now, and when he really gets in the ring, he is going to faint again." The eldest brother Li Guoyun saw through Li Guolou's thoughts, and did not hesitate to fight against the water in order to become famous.
All friends and relatives have persuaded Li Guolou to take a step back and open the sky, do what he can, and don't do a senseless duel, which means that Li Guolou on the boxing ring should fall down when he should fall, and lose to the French boxing champion Taishan, everyone can afford to lose some money.
Li Guolou nodded frequently and silently remembered in his heart, thanking everyone for their continued support, at this time he was a normal person who could listen to people's words, remembered the earnest teachings, and vowed to fall into the ring early, not to let the bridge of the nose be crooked, the face is a hundred times more important than human dignity, the national image does not depend on him to win back in a boxing match, win or lose can be relieved, Li Guolou smiled and watched his relatives and friends dance, regardless of drinking red wine and clinking glasses with Inspector Vasizo.
Reagan, the manager of the Friendship Insurance Company, kept running around, handing business cards to friends, since they were friends, they must look at the face of Jack the One-Eyed Dragon, he bought a pension insurance and accident insurance in his hand, and a single accident insurance company did not accept this kind of business.
Jack the one-eyed dragon sat at a table next to him and drank, watching Li Guolou walk around and sneering in his heart, a shocking conspiracy has been planned, he is going to see countless people in the sea and river, Li Guolou will become a chess piece for him, life and death are decided by him, Jack the one-eyed dragon raised his wine glass, toasted to Li Guolou, and wished Li Guolou good health and a long life.
Li Guolou's exclusive interview rights were sold to French Pravda, and the big reporter Eugene and photographer Qu Tav were busy with their work and sat down to eat food.
The photographer Qutav asked, "Eugene, will you bet again next time!" โ
"Bet, ***, how can I not bet, I have to bet even if I have a pair of pants left." Eugene resolutely refused, his eyes showed a fierce light like a wolf, and he drank it and now he was drunk and drunk, and it was a big deal that he would die and not return to the motherland.
"Then where are you betting?"
"Needless to say, of course, it is on Taishan, the treasure of our motherland." Eugene said without hesitation.
"Oh!!" Kutav ate the food and asked no more questions.
"What about you?" Eugene asked.
"It's okay to be the opposite of you, you are the opposite direction of me, and I will stay away from failure wherever you gamble." Qutav spoke his mind.
"Hmph, I'll let you lose this time, cheers." Eugene's fierce eyes swept at Li Guolou, he was cheap enough, lurking beside Li Guolou, just to watch his sworn enemy Li Guolou die early.
Li Guolou danced with Yelia in his arms, his body turned in a circle, the standard court dance moves greeted bursts of applause, there were smiling faces all around, nodding and praising Li Guolou for not being arrogant and still daring to challenge, all the unfamiliar faces were so kind, they knew in their hearts that Li Guolou was dead this time, the chance of winning was zero gnocchi, and Tarzan of the Apes was an invincible myth in the West.
