Chapter 153 is simply a money grab!

Chapter 153 is simply a money grab!
Gabriel's face changed drastically. He struggled for a while but couldn't stand up.

The ribs were obviously broken.

After being stunned for half a second, the referee quickly rushed towards Gabriel to prevent Du Sheng from continuing to attack.

However, Du Sheng had no intention of pursuing the victory.

He just stood there quietly, watching the referee count the seconds for the struggling Gabriel.

"one two three…"

The referee knew Gabriel's condition and knew it would be meaningless even if he managed to stand up. No matter who judged it, it would be a KO.

"Eight! Nine! Ten!"

KO!

Not surprisingly, Gabriel gave up.

The referee decisively crossed his arms and announced the end of the game.

"awesome!"

In the stands, Zhang Baizhi stood up excitedly, raised her hands high and cheered.

The rest of the audience also reacted, causing a huge and seething uproar.

There were disbelief, screams of excitement, and even wow wows.

There were even audience members who won money and tore off his clothes and waved them, shouting Du Sheng's name excitedly.

But most of the time, people lost all their money because they placed the wrong bets, and the sounds of regret and regret were heard one after another.

"Du Sheng wins this fight!"

As the host announced the final result, the scene became even more lively.

"Oh my god, another upset haha!"

"As expected of a mainland dark horse, awesome!"

"Is this the oriental martial art? It's amazing!"

Ma Yaowei and other people who bought the winning tickets were so excited that they danced with joy.

Especially when he saw the check for 190 million in front of him, his blood boiled.

That dizzy feeling was like being hit by a pie.

Even though 150 million of it belongs to Du Sheng, this much money cannot be fake!

In the contestant seat, Sato Yoshihiro, who had just won the final, couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

To an outsider, Du Sheng’s easy KO in a professional boxing match might seem very impressive.

In the eyes of an expert like him, Du Sheng was not just bluffing, he was scaring!
Gabriel was able to carve out a path for himself in the crowded fighting arena of Cholan, and even won two valuable gold belts.

But even such a master couldn't last a single round in front of Du Sheng.

what does this mean?
Now he understood that Du Sheng had been hiding his abilities in previous attempts.

Are Eastern martial arts really that awesome?

But why was it that K1 had invited them so many times before, and Eastern had sent several people to participate, but they couldn’t even make it to the finals?

It seems that this kind of person cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes.

"If I want to win the finals next time, I have to be more stable."

Among those present, Tang Jin was the one who acted the fastest.

At this moment, he didn't look like a 70-year-old man at all. He was so excited that he stood up and walked straight to the backstage.

We also used some of our rights to ask the organizers to help lead the way.

If we don't seize the opportunity to take down Du Sheng now, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future.

Don King was eager to have a good talk with Du Sheng, and preferably win his trust in one go and become his agent.

The organizers are also happy to do so in order to expand their influence and promote the idea.

Tang Jin's visit surprised Du Sheng, who had just returned to the lounge.

In fact, he had heard Zheng Zetao mention before that a boxing promoter from the Lighthouse Country had come to contact the organizer.

The first boxer recommended by the organizer was Cao Delong.

But I didn’t expect that the person coming was Tang Jin.

And the other party was coming towards him.

Anyone who has paid attention to the boxing world has heard of this man's name.

However, the reason why Du Sheng was able to recognize the other person was, firstly, he had seen Tyson's game in his previous life, and secondly, the other person's afro was very unique.

As soon as Tang Jin came in, he warmly greeted Du Sheng, as well as Sun Yaowei, Zhang Baizhi and others who came excitedly.

Seeing the enthusiastic look of this old man known as the 'old fox', Du Sheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

The more enthusiastic the other party is, the bigger the plan.

He wanted to see what this top agent was planning.

"Du, I think you should have guessed the purpose of my visit today.

There are 1.3 billion compatriots standing behind you. If you don't fight for the world boxing championship, it will be a loss for the people of the world!"

"Now you are only one step away from the top of boxing. I have never been a person who is willing to wait for opportunities, so I took the initiative to come to you.

I hope that everyone can join hands to reach the pinnacle of professional boxing and achieve unparalleled glory like Tyson in the past!

You should know how high I have led Tyson to, the glory and achievements he has achieved..."

Although Tang Jin is in his seventies, his words are still full of passion, and his gestures make his words seem more powerful.

The honors accumulated by the name "Tang Jin" alone are enough to attract many boxers to join him.

Ma Yaowei, Zhang Baizhi and others looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why this old man was so confident.

Du Sheng understood a little bit.

Boxing is the most profitable sport in the world, and boxing promoters are an indispensable presence in this sport.

They play a role in packaging boxers, boxing matches, and expanding influence.

Boxers like Tyson, Roy Jones, and Pacquiao were originally just athletes with superb boxing skills, but their boxing agents packaged them into gods, making the audience unable to help but buy tickets.

Furthermore, by law, individual fighters cannot sign contracts or fight directly with opponents, nor do they have the ability to do so.

Boxing agents can sign contracts to put matches and boxers into procedures that comply with legal requirements, making the matches legal and regular.

If boxers can bypass the promotion company and fight directly, then it becomes a fight! The importance of this is several times greater than that of entertainment agents.

In this boxing world, interests always dominate.

Even though Don King has a bad reputation, he does have an extraordinary ability to facilitate top events.

This is something that many boxing promoters cannot achieve.

Top events such as "Iron Battle" and "Peak of Glory" bring immeasurable fame and benefits.

Even though Tang Jin would take up to 3% commission, many boxers would still choose to sign with him rather than rely entirely on themselves.

However, this does not include Du Sheng for the time being.

Just as the other party said, he has the huge Eastern market behind him, which is his greatest reliance.

This market is extremely vast. As long as Du Sheng has the ability, he does not need to submit to any agent.

As long as he wants to gain fame in the professional boxing world, he will always be in the spotlight.

Just like Pacquiao now, as a Luzon native, his yellow race identity has won him more attention.

Tang Jin seemed to notice that Du Sheng was unmoved. He knew that it would be difficult to impress the other party without attractive conditions, so he added:
"Du, if you win the championship and major promotion companies want to sign you, what conditions will you put forward?
I might as well say that I came here with not only sincerity but also a checkbook, and perhaps I can satisfy you now."

"Let me set my own terms?"

Du Sheng's eyes were playful, and the other party's meaning was very clear.

If I win a direct ticket to the UFC and if I can perform well, what conditions will the other party offer to allow me to continue boxing abroad?

To be honest, Du Sheng also wanted to know his own worth and wanted to test it out.

"But you can talk about it. Any conditions can be put on the table for negotiation."

Tang Jin smiled and looked very generous.

His attitude seemed to say:

As long as you dare to make an offer, I have the courage to take over and show my generosity.

"1 million signing bonus."

Du Sheng took the towel handed to him by Zhang Baizhi and said a staggering number.

"1 million dollars?! Are you sure?!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Jin's assistant's eyes widened as big as copper bells, and he looked at Du Sheng in disbelief:

"Our president came to negotiate with you with sincerity, but you used such an astronomical figure to evade us?

Mr. Du, please be serious and stop joking.

You know, our company has contracts with more than 20 boxing champions, and our president’s time is very valuable.”

"1 million dollars?"

Even Sun Yaowei, Zhang Baizhi and others standing by were shocked by this number.

Converted back it's at least 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

I have to say, the power of money is indeed exciting.

"1 million dollars?"

The smile on Tang Jin's face gradually disappeared, as the other party's offer exceeded his expectations.

Du Sheng just smiled slightly and said slowly:
"Mr. Tang Jin, do you think this number is a lot? Or do you think I am not worth this number?"

In fact, he has no idea how much he is worth now, so he has to consider the amount he just casually gives even if the other party agrees.

After all, with the golden finger, future achievements will be far more than this. Only a fool would sell himself and his life like this.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Tang Jin's assistant said indignantly:
“Mr. Du, although you have won several games, Wulin is just a small competition.

How dare you, a newcomer who doesn't even have a boxing title, offer a whopping $1 million?"

In his opinion, Du Sheng's request for 1 million US dollars from Tang Jin was simply robbery!

Even Tyson's successor, Floyd Mayweather, did not offer such a high price after winning the championship.

Du Sheng glanced at the assistant, then turned to Tang Jin and smiled:
"Mr. Tang Jin, do you think so too?"

Tang Jin pondered for a moment and said:

"Du Sheng, you are indeed very capable and have an outstanding appearance. Your commercial value cannot be underestimated.

But you are still a rookie after all, and $1 million is too high a price."

"Mr. Tang Jin, the reason why you were willing to meet me and sign me before I became famous was because you saw my potential, right?
This is no different from the reason why investment banks invest in small companies with great potential.”

Du Sheng continued to explore the other party's bottom line and slowly spoke:
“Imagine if someone offered you the opportunity to buy half of General Electric for a few hundred million dollars ten years ago and then sold it three years ago, would you be tempted?

And now, I just need you to sign a $10 million promotional agreement for my event, and you're hesitant. This is really a tricky problem."

Zhang Baizhi and others were stunned by Du Sheng's words.

This explanation angle is really tricky!

But if there is a chance, they would certainly be willing to do so.

General Electric's stock suddenly soared nearly three times three years ago.

Assistant Tang Jin realized instantly that the two were not equal at all!
At that time, Microsoft was already a cutting-edge company chased by countless investors, while Du Sheng was just a boxer who had not yet made it out of Asia.

Are the two comparable?

"Du, your business potential is indeed impressive, but $1 million is definitely beyond my budget."

Tang Jin thought carefully for a moment and said:
"Three million dollars, what do you think?"

"President, you——"

The assistant looked at Tang Jin in shock, as if wondering if the boss was influenced by some crazy charm of Du Sheng.

The other party has not yet fully proven themselves, aren't you afraid that your investment will go to waste?

Sun Yaowei and Zhang Baizhi were also shocked by Tang Jin's answer.

The bargaining price was increased to 300 million, although it was a significant reduction, but it was just the signing fee.

They turned to Du Sheng to see his reaction.
