Chapter 134: The Calm in the Whirlpool
Now that the case has been closed, Zhou Zhen will definitely leave the United States after the competition, and no one has a legitimate reason to stop him.
That is, there is not much time left for Will Kramp to do so.
Because of the participation of the consulate, they did not dare to force several companies to terminate their contracts with Zhou Zhen.
Now it's hard for them to do it, because the impact is too great, but if they don't do it, and the contract is terminated again, Zhou Zhen will not go back, then they will be helpless.
No matter how powerful an organization is behind the scenes, it is not as powerful as a government, especially the largest government in the world.
Since they have chosen to hide and only secretly influence the world, they will inevitably sacrifice some of their power.
Because of his understanding, Zhou Zhen knows very well that no one force or individual can represent the will of an organization.
Rockefeller is awesome, right? Morgan is awesome, right? DuPont is awesome, right? But they were also subject to numerous constraints.
In the world of "Taxi Driver", the Ewing family almost controls the United States, and there is a Barn family as their strong rival!
What's more, it is so strong, but the means are so crude and low-level.
Obviously, this force is not monolithic, and they themselves have many concerns.
On March 16, this long-prepared boxing tournament kicked off lively.
This time, Zhou Zhen is really fighting for the boxing championship belt, but because of the challenge of Marcus Brown, Zhou Zhen did not get the WBO boxing championship belt, so he first stepped out of the boxing organization to compete for the WBA belt.
This game has also attracted the attention of the world, and in the front court of the ring, Zhou Zhen found several Chinese stars, as well as several Chinese business tycoons.
They are one of the sponsors of this game, and one of the Internet tech gurus is a real enthusiast.
As for those stars, it is obvious that they are using this game to attract attention.
Tianxian also came, but she didn't spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy tickets for the front desk, but Zhou Zhen gave them away.
Zhou Zhen had two free tickets at the front desk, he gave one to Tianxian and one to Stallone.
Sitting with Stallone also gave Tianxian Bo a lot of attention.
The game, which started at 6 o'clock, was played for nearly two hours and ended at 7:50.
After a ten-minute grand introduction, which set off the atmosphere, it was eight o'clock that Zhou Zhen and Marcus began to appear.
Because he had already exposed part of his strength, when Zhou Zhen took the stage this time, he jumped directly from the stage to the pillar of the ring, which aroused enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
And his pre-match provocation with Marcus Brown has fueled everyone's adrenaline.
In fact, he has no hatred with Marcus, but is a contracted fighter of a company, and everything is acting for the sake of profit.
Marcus's game, whether won or lost, has an appearance fee of 10 million, and if he can win next week, there are five points of ticket revenue and advertising revenue.
As a "non-star" fighter, Marcus is very satisfied with winning $10 million a fight.
In order to fight for this opportunity, he competed with Bivol of the same company for several days, and it was because of his status in the United States that he won Bivol.
Bivol is also from the Golden Boy company, but he is also Asian, and in order to attract the attention of local American fans, he can only let Marcus go up and Bivol wait for the next opportunity.
The match was very "intense", and in ten rounds of the match, Zhou Zhen and Marcus fought until the ninth round before knocking out Marcus with one punch.
And at this time, not only Marcus became a pig's head, but even Zhou Zhen had a "blue nose and swollen face".
Of course, Zhou Zhen still cares about his image very much, even if he is "beaten" to the point that his nose is blue and his face is swollen, he will not be unsightly.
Although it was a "fake fight", it was a real fight, and only Marcus knew in his heart that he was not Zhou Zhen's opponent at all.
was able to fight for nine rounds, and it was completely Zhou Zhen who let him.
But for the audience, the punches to the flesh are real, and the sweat and blood stains in the ring are also real.
And the game is still exciting, and that's enough.
At the end of a wonderful game, the atmosphere became more and more tense.
Things are complicated by the mixing of consulates. The best way for them to do this is to do it at the end of the game before Zhou Zhen returns to China.
If you don't do it, you will implement a moderate policy and look for opportunities to cooperate with Zhou Zhen in the future, but such uncertainties are too great.
Because Zhou Zhen has clearly refused once, if they want Zhou Zhen to agree, the price they need to pay will be even greater.
But for one or several research institutions, funds are always lacking, and it is impossible to come up with hundreds of millions of funds to tempt Zhou Zhen.
In the case of Scripps, they spend more than six billion dollars a year on research, but that's research funding for hundreds of researchers, and it's funding for thousands of funded professionals, and there's not much allocated to each specialty.
According to the basic standards in this field, once a scientist who has made certain achievements in the industry signs a contract, his team must have at least one million dollars in research funding per year, and the minimum contract is five years.
If the industry leader is developing a promising project, then the funds will be gone.
Therefore, even the world's largest private institution, the Hughes Medical Institute, has an annual funding of more than 10 billion yuan, which is often stretched.
The National Institutes of Health, the largest research institute in the United States, has more than $20 billion a year in research funding, but it is still poor every day.
Engaging in scientific research is really expensive.
Of course, for someone like Zhou Zhen, who has hundreds of scientific research achievements ahead of this era, money will only keep coming in.
Having said that, since the research institutions are so "poor", if they want to get a little sample from Zhou Zhen, they don't agree with 10 million, and they can't give up any more.
Instead of spending so much money, it is better to directly deal with Zhou Zhen and confin him, then you can save this money.
Zhou Zhen has gone through many analyses, and the results of the analysis are that they are more likely to choose to do it.
The celebration dinner of the competition was not over yet, and Zhou Zhen, who pretended to be excited, immediately asked CAA to help him book a ticket back to China in three days.
He made no secret of how much he missed his family, saying that if it weren't for the sake of recuperation, he would have gone back today.
Three days is the time Zhou Zhen left for them to do it.
If they don't do it, forget it themselves, and if they do, give them two fireworks to play.
That night, Zhou Zhen did not leave the room at MGM after the dinner, and of course this did not give his opponent a chance to make a move.
As for breaking into MGM, it's because they're looking for death.
No matter how powerful they are, they don't dare to offend a big guy like MGM, who is a typical representative of real gangsters and politicians, and business collusion, and the power is not necessarily weaker than them, but there are more people.
So here, Zhou Zhen is absolutely safe.
Two days was not enough, and for two days after the game, Zhou Zhen never left the casino.
Every day, in addition to applying cold and hot compresses to reduce the swelling of the face, I train in the casino, and in the afternoon, I also go to the casino to play for an hour or two.
What makes everyone feel unfair is that Zhou Zhen, a rich man, not only did not send money to the casino, but also won hundreds of thousands.
Then, no one played with him.
His IQ test is the highest today, and his computing power is certainly far beyond that of ordinary people, where can you play cards with him?
Therefore, in the end, no one was willing to play with him at all, and he was afraid of him.
After two days of recuperation, Zhou Zhen is finally leaving to return to Los Angeles.
The ticket is direct from Los Angeles to Green Island, and of course you have to go back to Los Angeles to take a flight.
With less than 24 hours to go before he returns from the United States, this is the last time to get his hands dirty.
He has already made up his mind, if the other party makes a move, he will definitely slip away without fighting back. He was afraid that once he did it, he would not be able to go back if he wanted to.
Of course, when the matter passed, he had a chance to take revenge.
"Sister Yan, when I go back to Los Angeles today, I don't want to take the nanny car. You go back in the nanny car, and I'll rent a sports car and drive back later. ”
Yan Jing is a staff member of CAA, although she is Chinese, but Zhou Zhen does not dare to trust it. It can be said that no one believes Zhou Zhen now.
"Then you didn't say it earlier, and let us play here for two days."
If you said it earlier, wouldn't it have made your opponent understand your intentions earlier! Of course, Zhou Zhen wouldn't say this, and said with a smile: "Isn't this good?" Two days of free high-end rooms, I have included food, drink and entertainment, you ask others if they are satisfied? ”
The two bodyguards and one of the drivers who stayed behind laughed, and it was clear that they felt that these two days were completely free vacations.
"Then you don't need bodyguards, don't forget about you......"
Zhou Zhen said in Chinese: "If something really happens, what's the use of two bodyguards?" ”
Yan Jing didn't say anything, nodded and said, "Then I'll report to Rutgers, he has to agree with me before I can obey the order." ”
Of course, Rutgers's side will not have an opinion, if Will Kramp and they want to do it, they will definitely have the relationship with CAA, and even through the relationship with DAZN.
So after knowing that Rutgers readily agreed, Zhou Zhen was a little disappointed, but he also felt a little relieved.
However, his surface was very calm, and he deliberately asked Yan Jing to come forward and help him rent a car on the grounds that he was not an American.
Of course, when renting, Zhou Zhen hesitated and did not choose a sports car, but chose a big G, or an AMG modified version of the G65.
Apart from high fuel consumption, the car has few flaws. Whether on the road or on an uneven road, this car can be wielded with ease.
When Zhou Zhen drove away from MGM, Zhou Zhen clearly felt that he was being watched by several groups of people, except for two Chinese who were supposed to be consulate personnel, and everyone else was afraid that they had bad intentions.
According to the analysis of this situation, it seems that the other party is sure to make a move.
When the car drove onto the road, Zhou Zhen showed his master-level driving skills and overtook in the traffic.
The few cars that followed behind were quickly thrown off by him, but Zhou Zhen knew very well that his whereabouts would never be hidden from others, not to mention anything else, just the locator on the car could let others grasp his location.
However, it is absolutely impossible to catch up with him from behind.
