Chapter 161: Peace
On May 23, Zhou Zhen arrived in London by plane.
London seems to have returned to calm, but there are still undercurrents.
As soon as I arrived at the hotel, the police from London came to visit. "Mr. Zhou, hello, we are here today to learn that on May 17, you also passed by the scene of the 517 tragedy by car, so I want to know the specific situation."
"Please come in." Zhou Zhen sent Zhou Tai to ask the service staff to bring several times the coffee, and invited them to sit down on the sofa in the living room.
After sitting down, Zhou Zhen said with a little surprise: "I only learned about this matter after I returned to Huaxia, and I never thought that I was almost in a whirlpool." ”
There were three people in the police, and each of them stared at Zhou Zhen, trying to see something unusual from his expression.
But Zhou Zhen's ability to cover up is not to mention them, even the best psychologist in the world comes over, and don't want to see the slightest clue.
"Can you tell us about the situation?"
"Of course." Zhou Zhen recalled: "On May 17, when I was going home for a few days, I asked Hoya to help me buy a plane ticket in advance, and the hotel's courtesy car took me to the airport.
Because there were so many reporters, the courtesy car picked me up directly from the underpass and left.
However, when the car walked to Richmond, I noticed that someone was following me, and I thought it was a media reporter.
As you should know, I'm now a popular boxing star, especially in China, with more than 50 million followers.
If the media reporter knows the information of the flight I took and returns to China, I will not be able to move an inch and I will not be able to get out of the airport. ”
What Zhou Zhen said was common sense, even the police in London knew Zhou Zhen's popularity.
They nodded and motioned for Zhou Zhen to continue.
Zhou Zhen looked at the tape recorder and said in a steady tone: "I am very strong, and it was only about five kilometers away from the airport at that time, so I decided to get rid of the reporter at that time."
When I got out of the car at the intersection, I was still looking for directions, but I noticed that something was wrong with the situation around me.
Soon a gun-wielding gangster opened fire, shattering the surveillance at the intersection, and I immediately took advantage of the chaos and followed the flow of people and ran back.
After passing a few houses, there was a north-facing junction, and I immediately ran over.
After running about 300 meters in that neighborhood, I saw a supermarket, then I saw an aunt who had made a purchase, and then I asked her to take me to the airport. ”
"We've found Lucy, who took you to the airport, and Hank, the driver who took you halfway, but there seems to be a few minutes between the testimonies between the two of them."
Zhou Zhen definitely knew that they were cheating him, no one could grasp the difference of a few minutes, Hank didn't remember it so clearly, and Lucy wouldn't remember it so clearly.
Even though the surveillance at the intersection captured the time it took for their courtesy car to arrive at the intersection, and the surveillance at the supermarket also captured the time when Lucy came out of the supermarket, don't forget that the distance from the intersection to the supermarket is more than five hundred meters, and it would have taken a little time to walk through.
Zhou Zhen was not captured by the surveillance at first, and was only photographed by the camera when he was about to arrive at the supermarket, so they couldn't doubt themselves at all.
Zhou Zhen thought for a while and said: "I ran back from the intersection for a distance, and then turned into another intersection, and finally arrived at the supermarket in about five minutes. ”
The face of the policeman who asked was a little embarrassed, his words were just professional habits, and he didn't suspect Zhou Zhen at all.
Because everyone saw that the perpetrator was only 1.7 meters tall, and he was not a yellow race, but a terrorist.
At most, they now suspect that Zhou Zhen has colluded with the other party.
But Zhou Zhen's call records were all checked, and he didn't have any contact with anyone who was suspicious.
They only came to understand the situation this time, and knew that Zhou Zhen did not see the perpetrator, so they said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, several policemen also played a fan and took a photo with Zhou Zhen.
Zhou Zhen now has a nickname and is called the "strongest man" in the world. Whether abroad or at home, his fans are countless.
As long as he continues to win, his prestige will be unmatched.
On May 25th, Zhou Zhen's match with Kovalev was held at the O2 Stadium, and Zhou Zhen appeared as a cheering singer at the beginning of the game, and sang two English songs.
With these two songs alone, Zhou Zhen earned an additional two million US dollars.
However, DAZN did not lose at all, but made a lot of money.
This is the second real live show, and just to see Zhou Zhen's live performance, more than five million users have become VIP users of DAZN, the exclusive live broadcaster, earning 50 million US dollars.
And in this game, broadcasters all over the world bought the rights with DAZN, and DAZN made 13 million in its account.
This copyright is only valid for one year, and after one year, the copyright is still exclusive to DAZN.
In other words, whoever wants to play Zhou Zhen's singing video and boxing video in the future will continue to spend money.
Under the vigorous promotion of DAZN, Zhou Zhen is now a step worse than the previous Mayweather, but it is not far behind.
And Zhou Zhen still lived up to expectations, and after six rounds, he won by knockout Kovalev.
His next bout will be a unification battle against Grozdik in the light heavyweight division, and if he wins, he will be directly promoted to the welterweight division.
Therefore, the follow-up matches will only be more exciting than one game, all the way to the heavyweight, and unify the boxing world.
At that time, he was truly the strongest man in the world.
After the bout, DAZN hosted a gala reception at Zhou's hotel, which was attended by a number of sponsors, broadcasters, prominent fan representatives, and a handful of media outlets.
However, the video content of the reception is still the copyright of DAZN, and other media can only send pictures and texts, and spend money to broadcast the video.
Although there were more than a dozen boxers attending the party, Zhou Zhen was undoubtedly the one that attracted the most attention.
Because of the cross-border development in the entertainment industry and boxing ring, Zhou Zhen has now become the most gold-attracting boxing star.
A few months ago, everyone thought that DAZN spent 100 million a year and that signing Zhou Zhen was a wrong choice, but now, these two games have helped DAZN earn more than 200 million US dollars in cash income, 100 million US dollars in operating income, and a net profit of more than 100 million US dollars.
And that's not all, because of the signing of Zhou Zhen, their stock price has now skyrocketed, and in just a few months, it has appreciated by 80%.
It can be said that Zhou Zhen has become a real cash cow.
As long as you can make money for the capitalists, you are their father.
So now Zhou Zhen has been touted by all walks of life.
"ZZ, do you have time? Can you give me a few minutes? ”
Zhou Zhen smiled at the old man in front of him, who was nearly a head shorter than himself, and said, "Of course, Mr. Ovitz." ”
Ovitz was the founder of CAA, but he later went to Disney as president, and was eventually swept away by Disney and founded the AMG agency.
However, his influence in CAA is still not small, and he can be regarded as the number one person in Hollywood.
Zhou Zhen has been looking forward to such a conversation, but he didn't expect that it would be him.
Under the attention of someone who cares, the two came to the terrace outside, and Ovitz took the lead in opening the topic. "I was chatting with Bob Arum a few days ago, and he regretted very much that he didn't take the CAA conditions in the first place, so that your cash cow was under the name of Hoya."
"I'm also sorry that Arum was the only big guy who could wrestle with Don King, and if he was my agent, I might have a lot less pressure."
Although Zhou Zhen is only 24 years old, he has experienced too many different lives in the mission world, and he is definitely no worse than any old Jianghu.
Ovitz smiled kindly: "There will always be pressure, the key is the means to solve it." ”
Zhou Zhen also smiled: "I am very glad that my luck is good, and sometimes, luck is also part of strength." ”
Ovitz may have taken on the task, or he may have not been involved in this matter, so he behaved very indifferently, no longer going around in circles with Zhou Zhen, but chose to get straight to the point.
"The word crisis is a combination of danger and opportunity. When the danger is resisted, the opportunity is also in front of you. ”
Zhou Zhen pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Mr. Ovitz, I don't quite understand what you mean. ”
Ovitz took out a piece of paper from his jacket pocket, opened it and said, "We won't talk about your affairs in boxing and showbiz for the time being, I just want to talk about one thing." This is the main directory of purchases made around the world by companies you control in recent months, including patent registrations.
According to rough statistics, you have purchased a total of 80 million US dollars worth of various instruments and equipment, and registered a total of 35 major items and more than 500 small items of technological innovation and invention patents.
There are a lot of technical terms I didn't understand, but I found out after I inquired. The technologies in this are all in the field of biotechnology, the most advanced technologies, and many of them are not yet broken through by the top foreign laboratories.
Mr. Zhou, you have a big secret, and this is not only limited to the differences in the cells of your body. ”
Zhou Zhen smiled and asked, "Then do you have any conclusions?" ”
Ovitz shook his head and sighed, "I don't understand these things, and I don't want to come here if I could." But I'm now at war in front of you.
I hope that I will be able to obtain a certain degree of understanding from you and strengthen cooperation and understanding in the future, rather than choosing confrontation and war. ”
Zhou Zhen laughed, his expression becoming more and more innocent. "Please forgive me for being too young and not quite understanding what you mean. I always thought that the world was calm and that I was far away from those confrontations and strife......
As for cooperation, it's always been the way I appreciate the most, anything, any disagreement, can be resolved through negotiation, isn't it? ”
He laughed and reached out his hand. "Of course."
