Chapter 256 Why don’t you be my first wife?

The Knicks have a very light schedule ahead of them, starting with four home games and the next game being against the Green Team on the 6th.

Although He Zhongqiu's schedule is tight now, he still focuses on basketball during the regular season and arranges a lot of basketball training.

For example, defensive training, offensive techniques, rebounding shots, hook shots and lobs, as well as rebounding training and so on.

The remaining free time is used to train fighting techniques, including ground techniques such as jiu-jitsu and wrestling techniques.

On the evening of the 3rd, He Zhongqiu watched the game between the Heat and the Nets.

At the Nets' home court, Jason Kidd was absent due to injury and was defeated by the Heat, losing by 23 points.

东游的大鲨鱼在热火首秀，上场21分钟，9投7中，7罚2中，拿到16分5篮板2助攻2盖帽的数据。

The Heat had six players scoring in double digits, while the Nets had only two.

He only played for 3 minutes, made 1 of 1 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 4 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block and 2 fouls. The stats are actually not bad, but he committed too many fouls.

On the evening of the 4th, He Zhongqiu went to Madison Square Garden to watch Madonna's concert.

Madison Square Garden has very little free time throughout the year. There are performances on at least 365 days out of 330 days, and at least 100 concerts and performances are held every year.

On the 5th, Frank Zhang signed a one-on-three contract with WWE on behalf of He Zhongqiu.

The rules are mixed unrestricted fighting, that is, MMA rules. It is a one-on-three fight, and He Zhongqiu must KO, TKO, or submit all three to win.

His appearance fee is as high as $1 million, which is a sky-high price and breaks the appearance fee record in the sports industry around the world.

Unfortunately, WWE belongs to the entertainment industry, not the sports industry, so he can only break the appearance fee record in the entertainment industry.

In addition, the box office share was discussed this time, which did not involve advertising, and He Zhongqiu would only share 15% of the box office share.

Afterwards, both sides invited a large number of reporters and held a press conference.

Next, as the organizer and copyright owner, WWE began negotiations with several TV stations including TNT and ESPN.

Generally speaking, the PPV revenue share is 50-50, but the sales of He Zhongqiu's fighting match were too crazy, and this was the confidence WWE had in negotiating with the TV station.

Now that He Zhongqiu has the title of a superhero, his influence is even greater, so several TV stations are determined to win this game.

Once the news was announced, it shocked the whole world, especially the fighting world.

"One against three, an unfair fight, is the Kung Fu King challenging his own limits?" The New York Times.

"One against three, this is an unfair fight. I don't understand why the Kung Fu King would agree to such conditions." AFP.

"Why do we feel one-on-three is fair? Is this what we expect from the Kung Fu King?" Los Angeles Times.

"One against three, this should be a doomsday battle." The Washington Post.

"Our behemoth Choi Man-hong should be one of the three. Only he has the strength to defeat Wolverine." Hankook Ilbo.

"One against three, the Kung Fu King showed the courage of us East Asians. I look forward to him knocking out three people by himself." Tokyo Daily.

"WWE did not announce the three-man roster, which shows that the Kung Fu King doesn't care who his opponent is and he has shown confidence in winning." New York Sports Daily.

Many professionals in the fighting world have begun to analyze, such as Spider-Man Silva.

In an interview with the media in Japan, he said: "Wolverine's strength is very terrifying, and the whole world knows it.

He knocked out the fighting czar Fedor in one round. Fedor's left upper arm was shattered and his career was likely to be over. His last move, the Sky Arc Whirlwind Kill, was already famous all over the world. "

"Is he invincible?" the reporter asked.

Silva shook his head and said, "Of course not. Wolverine also has weaknesses, very obvious weaknesses that can be exploited."

"Anderson, what is the weakness?" the reporter asked.

Silva said: “He was in danger several times when he fought Fedor last time, showing his weakness in ground fighting and wrestling.

His mixed martial arts skills are average, and he is better at stand-up techniques. If he hadn't been able to withstand blows and had more strength, he would have been subdued by Fedor long ago."

"Yes, please continue." The reporter said hurriedly.

Silva went on to say: “This is a one-on-three mixed martial arts match, and WWE will definitely send out the strongest heavyweight trio, which will have an absolute advantage in numbers.

The top wrestlers in WWE absolutely crush Wolverine in terms of tonnage and are definitely not weaker than him in strength, so Wolverine no longer has any strength advantage.

Also, Wolverine has a hard time dealing with Fedor's ground and wrestling skills. He definitely can't handle the wrestling and ground skills of three people at the same time. He will definitely be dragged into a ground fight and then defeated."

At the same time, gambling groups around the world began to gather professionals to study this MMA fight and prepare to set the odds.

Johnson called quickly and said, "Wolverine, McMahon asked me if I would participate. Can you give me your opinion?"

"Aren't you going to retire from WWE?" He Zhongqiu asked.

"It wouldn't be bad to retire after beating you," Johnson said.

"Then get ready to be beaten. This is real combat, not the performance of WWE before. I'm one on three, I won't hold back, and I can't guarantee that you won't get hurt." He Zhongqiu said.

Johnson yelled, "Come on, Wolverine, you almost got subdued by Fedor several times when you were fighting him alone. This time there are three guys who are taller, heavier and stronger than Fedor. You are at a disadvantage in terms of tonnage and strength. I don't think you can win against three alone."

"You're an idiot. The WWE arena is not fixed on the ring. I can defeat them one by one." He Zhongqiu said.

Johnson thought about it and decided to give up. What Wolverine said made sense. He had an absolute advantage in speed, and it was not impossible for him to defeat them one by one. There was no need for him to take the risk.

"Well, I won't participate."

Then he added enviously: "Wolverine, $1 million appearance fee, all industries combined, no one will be able to break your record in a hundred years."

"That's hard to say. Besides, I'm one against three, so the risk is high," said He Zhongqiu.

Johnson laughed and said, "Wolverine, you are the Kung Fu King. Let's put it this way, if you win, even if it's one against three, it's only natural. If you lose, you will definitely fall from the position of the King."

After Johnson, He Zhongqiu received many calls from friends.

Chenglong called and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival, the 26th, right? I didn't have time for the last show in Japan, so please save a spot for me this time.

Remember, you don’t have to sit in the front row, I know it’s hard to get front row tickets.”

“Tickets are not a problem.”

He Zhongqiu readily agreed and asked, "Brother Cheng, I had a fight with Yinghuang, Zhou Yunfa and the others. Did that make things difficult for you?"

"Ugh!"

Chenglong sighed and said, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ah Fa came to me several times, Xie Xian and Yang Shoucheng also came to me, so many people came to me, I was in a dilemma!"

"What do they want from you?" He Zhongqiu asked curiously.

"Let me take the lead in banning you! I'm kidding, we are friends, it's impossible to ban you." Chenglong shouted.

"Then I have to thank Brother Cheng." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

Chenglong sighed, “This time, Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Wei really went too far when they saw the two losers, thinking they were just a little bit popular and acting recklessly.

Even if it was a normal filming, they are not martial artists and they cannot really fight. It is too much to make the fake scene become real and step on someone's genitals.

Now you are such a big shot, you can earn hundreds of millions of dollars in a few minutes, you are a superhero, the two of them have hit the bottom, there is no hope, they will just stay in Hong Kong and make a living from now on."

He Zhongqiu had just hung up the phone with Chenglong when Yang Xue called.

"Sister Xue, do you have time to come over on the 26th?" he asked.

Yang Xue said, "Sanjin, I'm afraid I don't have time. The company has been very busy recently. I called to tell you that the Penguin Sports reporter named Qin Qiang didn't find any useful information."

"It's okay, let's forget it." He Zhongqiu said.

He himself also asked media reporters for help. Xia Song came forward and sent a lot of small gifts. This kind of thing is difficult to investigate.

……

On the 6th, the Knicks defeated the Green Team at home and achieved two consecutive victories.

Rick Carlisle only gave the Mailman 20 minutes of playing time in this game, and gave the rest of the time to rookie Varejao.

In addition to training newbies, another way is to save money on postmen.

Just like using Mutombo last season, the regular season playing time is to keep the Mailman in a competitive state.

That morning, the league announced the MVP rankings. The Knicks won all three games and ranked first in the league. He Zhongqiu averaged 35 points and 13 rebounds per game, ranking first in the rankings.

At noon, WWE announced the three opponents for He Zhongqiu, namely Goldberg, The Undertaker and Brad Pitt.

These three guys are currently the strongest heavyweight wrestlers in WWE and are also the most famous besides The Rock.

Goldberg, 38 years old, 193 cm tall, 127 kg, officially joined the professional wrestling league WCW in 97 and set a terrifying record of 173 consecutive wins.

After WCW was acquired by WWE in 2000, he became the God of War of WWE, and his signature move is SPEAR, the spear charge.

However, he is no longer at his peak and has followed Johnson’s path, pursuing an acting career in Hollywood.

The Undertaker, 39 years old, 200 cm tall, 136 kg, is the most influential superstar in WWE. His classic role as the Grim Reaper is deeply loved by wrestling fans and he is still one of the top heavyweight champions in WWE.

He has many signature killing moves, such as the tombstone, the chokehold, the final journey, the hell's gate, the guillotine, etc.

Brock Lesnar, 27 years old, 192 cm, 132 kg, is proficient in wrestling, mixed martial arts, and stand-up fighting. He is the youngest champion of WWE, the fastest person to win the championship, and the current king of WWE.

Among these three people, Gao Bo, the lightest one, is 10 kilograms heavier than He Zhongqiu. Their mixed martial arts skills may not be as good as Fedor's, but they are even more dangerous than the Fighting Tsar. Moreover, it is a one-on-three fight, so even He Zhongqiu is under great pressure.

As soon as the news was announced, the media began to hype it up.

"One against three, the Kung Fu King will face his greatest challenge, with a 70% chance of failure." Los Angeles Times.

"If the aging Goldberg is replaced by our Choi Hong-man, Wolverine will definitely lose." Hankook Ilbo.

"Superhero Wolverine may be falling from grace." The Washington Post.

"One against three, this is an unfair but fair match. We firmly believe that the Kung Fu King will win yet another victory." New York Times.

The world's major gambling groups conducted research again, and then some companies opened handicaps.

For example, the world's largest Sands gaming group has set the odds for Mid-Autumn Festival at 1:1.12 and for WWE at 1:1.05.

One of the world's largest bookmakers, the UK's GVC Group, offered odds of 1:1.09 for Mid-Autumn Festival and 1:1.04 for WWE.

The odds offered by Galaxy Entertainment, the largest gaming company in Macau, are 1:1.075 for Mid-Autumn Festival and 1:1.05 for WWE.

Judging from the odds, basically, based on the one-vs-three rule, no gambling group is optimistic about He Zhongqiu.

After seeing the handicaps of these bookmakers, Frank Zhang became a little uneasy.

Although Wolverine once KO'd thirteen people by himself, those Pacers were not professional fighters after all. However, these three were the world's top wrestlers and first-rate fighters.

Moreover, Wolverine cannot use Eagle Claws, which is a fighting rule that has been set long ago and seals his strongest ability.

Frank Zhang felt a little regretful. He should have advised his boss not to accept the one-to-three rule. It was too late to regret now.

After he found He Zhongqiu, he asked, "Boss, there are almost no bookmakers who are optimistic about you. Do you really have the confidence to deal with these three?"

"Don't worry, if the odds from those gambling groups weren't so high, I would want to take a chance on myself," said He Zhongqiu.

That night, the Knicks won four straight home games, then flew to Indiana overnight to begin a four-game road trip.

On the 13th, after defeating the Pacers back-to-back on the road, they won five consecutive games at the start.

On the 14th, the Knicks flew west to San Antonio.

On the 15th, WWE reached an agreement with TNT TV.

TNT invested a total of US$0.9 million, of which US$3000 million was used to purchase the television broadcast rights and US$6000 million was used as sponsorship fees to pay He Zhongqiu's appearance fee.

In other words, the event organizer WWE has almost made back its investment just by selling television broadcasting rights, and the remaining 85% of box office and advertising revenue is definitely a huge profit.

WWE wrestlers, like UFC wrestlers, receive an annual salary rather than an appearance fee, but they receive high dividends depending on their level.

In addition, the PPV profit sharing is still 50-50.

He Zhongqiu also received an appearance fee of $1 million. This money, together with the hundreds of millions he earned from commercials some time ago and the $1.5 million he earned from the last fighting match, totaled $3.5 million.

Among them, US$2 million is in the United States and US$1.5 million is in Japan. He has handed over all this money to accountants, who will use various investments and donations to reasonably avoid taxes, and all the money will be slowly transferred back to China.

"Sister Xue, money will be transferred into the company in the near future, please pay attention to it." He said to Yang Xue on the phone.

"What about the 1.5 million you earned in Japan?" Yang Xue asked.

"Including that amount, the total is 3.5 million. Even if it is tax evasion, 15% tax still needs to be paid, so there will probably be 3 million left."

"That's quite a lot."

“I will transfer this money back to my country.”

"Take back all 8.19 million US dollars? Only tens of millions of RMB were spent out of the previous million US dollars. Isn't that too much? Now the exchange rate is , which is billion or billion RMB. How can we spend it?"

"Sister Xue, I heard that the fastest way to develop is to directly acquire other companies of the same type. Why don't you acquire a few companies?"

"I don't know much about acquisitions, so it looks like we need to hire more people."

"No, Sister Xue, find a company that specializes in mergers and acquisitions. That's how it's done in the United States."

"Is there a company like this? Okay, I'll look for it later."

"By the way, I will have one or two boxing or fighting matches this year. I am not short of money. You can invest in China. The domestic economy is developing rapidly, and prices are rising. Money will depreciate if you keep it in your hands."

"Sanjin, now that I'm on your pirate ship, the pressure is so great!" Yang Xue sighed.

"Sister Xue, does the company have any projects of its own now?"

"Not yet, I'm just investing in other people's projects."

"Hurry up and make a few good movies, then take the company public. You will be the chairman of the listed company, which will be very impressive."

"Oh my god, I'm so busy now. Chairman? Sanjin, you better find your first wife and let her take my place."

"I can't even find a concubine now, how can I have a wife? Otherwise..." He Zhongqiu hesitated, not daring to say it out loud.

"What else?" Yang Xue asked.

He Zhongqiu suddenly said, "How about, Sister Xue, you be my first wife?"

Yang Xue was startled at first, then filled with shame and anger, and said angrily: "He Zhongqiu, you have become successful now, and you dare to tease me?"

"No, no... I was just kidding, Sister Xue, I was just kidding." He Zhongqiu hurriedly denied.

"That's it. I'm still busy. I'll hang up now."

When he was about to say something, Yang Xue hung up the phone first.

He Zhongqiu scratched his head, feeling a little uncomfortable and confused.

As for women, he really has no shortage of them, but he has never met a woman who makes him fall in love.

Liu Yifei is pretty, but she was too young when I met her, just a little girl, and I really didn't have any bad intentions towards her.

Now she is two years older, still a girl, a high school student. We only see each other a few times a year, and we have no interest in each other, let alone feelings.

If he were to ask which woman in this world he most wanted to live with, it would naturally be Sister Xue.

His several companies were all managed by others, including Xia Song, Frank Zhang, Ross Lewis, and Sister Xue.

But he only let Sister Xue go completely. For the other three companies, he would send accountants to check the accounts regularly or irregularly, and large expenditures would require his signature to take effect.

He couldn't tell whether it was love or family affection for Sister Xue. Maybe it was both, or even more family affection.

He has no idea what love is. When he is with other women, it is because of physical needs.

After Yang Xue hung up the phone, she felt her cheeks getting hot.

She has never been in a relationship in her life and has no experience.

In fact, after she met Sanjin, she also had that little idea, but Zhongqiu had no control over women, and she, who was loyal in love, couldn't stand it.

Moreover, Sanjin was getting taller and taller, and they felt they were not a good match. Moreover, Sanjin had never had any feelings for her, so he gave up on that idea in the end.

She wanted to match Sanjin with Liu Yifei, mainly because Liu Yifei was really pretty and she didn't want her to be easy to get by with someone else. In fact, Liu Yifei was about the same height as her, so she was not a match for Sanjin in terms of height.

But now, Sanjin's sudden words disrupted her mood.
