Chapter 192 Bill's Hands
After Ouyang Ming explained the rules and procedures of the m-1 competition, 400 media reporters were shocked.
Isn't this obviously a K-1 competition against Japan?
The championship prize is as high as 5 million US dollars, but the third place prize is 600,000 US dollars, just like the championship prize in the K-1 competition is 100,000 yuan more. No one believes that it is not deliberately targeted.
Especially these media reporters have long known that the concept and ideas of the K-1 competition were first proposed by Wang Lei when he played the welterweight defending championship with the "Beast" Mugabi three years ago, but it was shamelessly stolen by the Japanese Ishii Kazui. Not only did he launch it in Japan first, but he also registered commercially so that others could no longer imitate it. Even Wang Lei, who proposed this idea, could not do it.
It is said that the Japanese have sent Wang Lei an invitation to participate in the competition, but Wang Lei has never paid any attention.
I thought Wang Lei didn't care about this matter, but I didn't expect that he had a certain popularity and influence in the K-1 competition. When he was about to become popular, he suddenly launched the M-1 competition. The championship prize was ten times higher than the K-1 competition, and even the runner-up and third place prizes were higher than the champions of the K-1 competition.
You can imagine how fatal the sudden attack on Japan's K-1 competition was. Maybe it will attract all the players who participated in this year's K-1 competition.
I had long guessed that Wang Lei was not the one who would suffer a loss and swallow his anger. Now the revenge is not here!
Although the rules of the M-1 competition announced by Ouyang Ming are different from those of the K-1 competition, and the rules are much more open and almost unlimited, he also said that the fighting philosophy proposed by Bruce Lee back then was completely different from the K-1 competition. However, the 400 media reporters in the audience all believed that this was Wang Lei taking revenge on the Japanese and snatching his creativity.
Moreover, the revenge methods are really convincing. The top three in the championship and the season are as high as US$6.6 million, and the total investment in the first round of the competition is as high as US$50 million.
It’s really not to take the money seriously!
But I think so, with Wang Lei's current net worth, 50 million US dollars is indeed a slight idea for him. Not to mention the money Wang Lei earned from investing in movies and writing novels, the last game with Abraham Ali made him earn 70 million US dollars, and there is still a surplus to invest in the M-1 competition!
What's more, after listening to the form described by Ouyang Ming, coupled with Wang Lei's popularity and attraction, the m-1 competition may not be a loss but not a profit. Maybe just by buying the ticket, you can get the 50 million US dollars back.
Soon, a reporter asked: "Wang, are you going to participate in this M-1 competition?"
Wang Lei replied: "Of course not. I paid the prize money for this M-1 competition. If I win the championship, I will give me the prize money. Should I give it to myself? But when the M-1 competition becomes popular in the future, I will transfer it to someone else to take over, and then I may come to participate!"
"Transfer? If the m-1 competition is really popular, the profits may be quite high. You are really willing to give up. You should know that last year's K-1 competition was said to have made a profit of 20 million US dollars!" The reporter was a little unbelievable.
"I am a professional boxer, and my goal has always been to become a world boxing champion of seven levels. This is what I value most before I was thirty. I don't want to be discarded by other things. What's more, I don't take it seriously if I just don't take it seriously!"
Wang Lei said this, but thought to himself. At that time, I will just transfer the m-1 competition to my own people to take over, such as Ouyang Ming. At that time, the interests that should belong to me will still not be able to escape.
However, if there is a big tycoon who doesn't take money seriously, it doesn't matter if he transfers the m-1 competition.
Even if there is no m-1, can I hold other fighting competitions after I retire in the future?
For example, Wulin Feng, Kunlun Fight!
Wang Lei's answer made all the media reporters roll their eyes in their hearts.
If you don’t want to be distracted by other things, then you still invest in movies and write scripts, or even novels?
No one exposed Wang Lei's lies, and another reporter asked: "Wang, who are the contestants?"
Wang Lei replied: "There must be professional boxers participating in the competition, and two professional boxers have agreed. One of them is a heavyweight former boxer in the service. I won't reveal my name first. You will know when the M-1 competition starts in October!"
Wang Lei's words once again stirred up the media reporters below the audience.
There are actually two professional boxers who want to participate, and one of them is the heavyweight former boxing champion in the game?
Who could it be, was it Tyson?
It should be impossible. Although Tyson is a former boxing champion and does not have a gold belt on his chest, he is very disappointed and has a super popular boxing champion with a appearance fee of up to 20 million US dollars. It is impossible for him to participate in the championship prize of just 5 million US dollars.
And it may not be able to get it!
Not Tyson, could it be Holyfield, Ray Mersell, or the heavyweight champion of the three major organizations before Tyson?
The media reporters in the audience guessed all the former heavyweight boxing champions who had not yet retired, and even Larry Holmes, who was already 42 years old, thought of it.
Unfortunately, Wang Lei did not speak out. Who it was still a matter of time will be decided until half a year later.
Wang Lei continued: "In addition, I also invited people from the Gracie Jiu-jitsu family in Brazil, Bill Vales' Superfoot School, the Changqing Martial Arts Hall in New York, the Jizhen Association in Japan, and all the masters from the wrestling industry and the kick boxing association to participate. Even last year's K-1 competition champion and other contestants, they all expressed their interest in this M-1 competition..."
Hearing Wang Lei's last words, the media reporters in the audience couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Even the players participating in the K-1 competition and even the champions from last year have been invited. Isn’t this a slap in the face of the Japanese?
I am very interested in the m-1 competition. I was obviously attracted by the five million US dollars in championship prize you offered!
I don’t know what the Japanese named Kazuyoshi Ishii will react after seeing today’s press conference. Most of them will be so angry that they vomit blood!
If Kazuyoshi Ishii wants to break Wang Lei's game and keep this year's K-1 competition still in the future, it seems that there is no other way to go except to increase the championship prize to 5 million US dollars.
But is Ishii Kazuoyi, a Japanese man, so much or is willing to spend so much money?
Kazuyoshi Ishii is said to be the director of the Japanese Masatoku Hall and has many disciples, but his net worth is definitely not as good as Wang Lei, a boxing champion who can earn 10 or 20 million US dollars by playing a random game or writing a movie script.
If you buy money, Ishii Kazuoyi may not be able to fight Wang Lei if he sells all his property!
...
Due to the time difference, Wang Lei held a press conference in San Francisco, USA until the next day that Kazuyoshi Ishii, who was far away in Tokyo, Japan, was seen by him.
Kazuyoshi Ishii vomited blood immediately!
When he came back to his senses, he urgently contacted the contestants who had signed up for this year's K-1 competition. He found that more than half of the contestants were "sorry" and said that they did not plan to participate in this year's K-1 competition.
Including the champion of last year's K-1 competition and the two star players he valued the most.
Even a Japanese local player from the Masatoka Kan said that his family was short of money and could not make money unless he was a champion in the K-1 competition. And even the third place in the M-1 competition had a prize of 600,000 US dollars, so he wanted to go to the United States to try his luck.
The Japanese player who has a master-apprentice relationship with him also hinted to him: if he is willing to increase the prize money for the K-1 competition and let the third place have a prize money, he will cut off the idea of going to the United States to participate.
Ishii Kazuya was so angry that he immediately scolded the disciple and hung up the phone.
A prize of 5 million US dollars, even the third place has 600,000 US dollars?
I am not as rich as a Chinese boy, so I won’t do such crazy things!
The contestants in the k-1 competition were tempted by half of the money Wang Lei spent, and the remaining half were not confident that they could win, and they didn't want to go to the United States to make a fool of themselves.
If the contestants with less than half of these people and who are still at a low level continue to participate in the K-1 competition, don’t say that the audience will shout for refunds, the TV station will probably break the contract.
Ishii Kazuichi was helpless and decided to postpone this year's K-1 competition. Let's first see how Wang Lei's M-1 competition will be.
If the m-1 competition fails...
Kazuyoshi Ishii's expression was distorted, thinking: Chinese boy, don't think it would be easy to hold such a competition. I will not let you succeed. Kazuyoshi Ishii will destroy your good things no matter what!
...
Wang Lei didn't know that he was already being missed by Ishii and Yoshiki, but even if he knew, he wouldn't worry. Because he had given full rights to Ouyang Ming, Chekov, McKell and Nissen the party to take charge of the m-1 competition.
Regardless of Chekov, Ouyang Ming, McKell and Neeson, he felt relieved that he was not worried about the three of them being screwed up.
Wang Lei is now busy writing his graduation thesis.
Wang Lei studied psychology at Stanford University. Although he had not listened to the class carefully, he had learned a lot from McKell, a real expert. In addition, he had watched many American dramas and high-IQ movies related to psychology in his previous life, making a stunning psychology paper that would not hurt him.
While Wang Lei was busy writing his graduation thesis, something happened in the NBA's regular season that made him laugh and cry.
In the game between the Trail Blazers and the Pistons, Bill, as a power forward, encountered a rough foul by the opponent's center Ranbir again when dunking. Facing the slap of Ranbir when Lanbir was wrong but slapped at his face, Bill, who had already jumped, instinctively thought of Wang Lei's training for him. The basketball that was originally dunking to the basket instantly dunked on Ranbir's face, and at the same time bent his knees and hit Ranbir's crotch.
Ranbill was instantly ruined by Bill. After landing, he covered his crotch and turned pale. His nose was also bleeding from Bill's basketball.
Bill, who had been taught by Wang Lei, immediately expressed his innocence to the referee and accused Ranbir of deliberately slapping him in the face. In a hurry, he instinctively wanted to protect himself, so he did such a move.
After the referee replayed through slow motion, he only ordered Bill to make an ordinary foul. Ranbir, who had been carried out, was added with a first-level malicious foul.
The Pistons were immediately unhappy, so the game continued. Ranbill's disciple Rodman took the initiative to face Bill, but was hit in the crotch by Bill's hidden gag hand. Rodman immediately covered his crotch and squatted down.
However, Bill used his hand to lift his vagina through Wang Lei's training and was extremely concealed. Not only did the referee not see it, but he didn't even take the camera lens.
The referee thought Rodman was playing "fake fall" and ordered him to be a blocking foul, which angered Rodman. In anger, he rushed up and punched Bill hard.
However, Bill quickly lowered his head and then fired his bow left and right, and a series of combined punches instantly knocked down Rodman.
The audience was stunned when they saw Bill punching.
Why is Bill’s combination of punches that defeated Rodman so much like the Chinese boy Wang Lei?
I heard that Bill lost the game by the Pistons last year and returned to San Francisco to find Wang Lei to learn boxing. Unexpectedly, this was true!
Before the audience could come to their senses, the rest of the Pistons rushed up to surround Bill.
The other players of the Trail Blazers naturally would not watch Bill be besieged by the Pistons, so a melee broke out between the two sides.
By the end of the melee, five people had fallen, four of them were from the Pistons, and three of them were knocked down by Bill, and they were seriously injured.
The competition naturally cannot continue!
David Scoon was naturally furious when he heard this. The next day he issued a lot of fines and banned all the players involved in the fight. The troublemakers Bill and Rodman were not only fined 50,000 US dollars by one, but also banned for ten games. They were unable to participate in the first round of the playoffs.
As for Ranbir, he was seriously injured because he was hit by Bill and probably couldn't participate in the first round of the playoffs.
As the news came out, all other NBA teams that made the playoffs almost celebrated without gongs and drums, especially the Bulls where Michael Jordan is located, who wished he could become sworn brothers with Bill.
The Bulls boss even spoke to him with excitement and said to the media reporter: Bill did a great job and he is willing to pay a fine for Bill!
Before the audience could recover from the melee between the Trail Blazers and the Pistons, they were attracted by news reports from a media outlet.
The reporter who published this report was a guy who followed Bill to the Sadler Boxing Gym last year to learn boxing with Wang Lei. He wrote down the process of Bill learning boxing with Wang Lei and the secret tricks that Wang Lei taught Bill with vivid writing.
When the audience saw the word "slim hands", they suddenly realized why Rodman was furious.
It turned out that he was not pretending, but was really plotted by Bill. He was wronged by the referee after being plotted against him. No wonder he was furious!
This guy Wang Lei taught Bill, the "honest child", to become a sinister bad boy!
After seeing this report, David Scoon not only added five additional games to Bill's ban, but also announced in front of media reporters that Wang Lei was the most unpopular person in the NBA!
David Scoen even called on the NBA team to ban Wang Lei from entering the stadium to watch the game!
Wang Lei just curled his lips to this and thought to himself: I don’t really want to watch NBA games. If I hadn’t supported Bill, I wouldn’t have visited even if you, David Scoon, personally invited me!
After a reporter who interviewed him heard the news that the Pistons players led by Ranbill and Rodman were going to take revenge on Bill, Wang Lei immediately said: Bill is my buddy. If anyone from the Pistons dares to take revenge on him, I will immediately play on the Pistons and beat each of them up!
The reporter was so excited that his face turned red, and he placed Wang Lei’s “warning” in the newspaper that day.
For a moment, both basketball fans and boxing fans were attracted by the attention.
Everyone is curious about the Pistons' reaction! (To be continued.)
ps: I was caught off guard by suddenly going to work early, and I was stuck in the text. I only had 4,000 words in a long time. I uploaded this chapter first and then thought about the plot carefully, and continued tomorrow!
