Chapter 367 The target of public criticism
Du Sheng ignored the other party's sneer and smiled.

"Chuck Liddell is ranked No. 3 in the UFC middleweight world and this fight will be broadcast live."

Don King exclaimed:
"I didn't expect that your first crossover show would be challenging the top three UFC world champions. I never dared to think about this before!"

He was indeed optimistic about Du Sheng's strength and potential, but he did not expect that he would reach this point in such a short time.

This means that as long as Du Sheng wins this game, he will be qualified to challenge the championship.

According to the UFC challenge rules, anyone who enters the top ten in the world rankings in each weight class is eligible to challenge the champion.

As for whether the platform and the champion will accept it?
It depends on the popularity and interests.

But you can push it away once, but not twice.

It is for this reason that Du Sheng is so persistent in challenging the top ten players.

However, his approach was indeed radical, arousing the anger of boxing fans throughout the Lighthouse Country, and he was about to become the target of public criticism.

Fortunately, the opponent couldn't resist the provocation.

"Tyson was crowned champion in his teens, and Lomachenko became the champion in just two matches. There is no shortage of talent in this world, so why can't UFC do the same?"

Du Sheng did not comment, and continued the provocation to the end, responding in an extremely domineering manner:
"If a miracle ever happens, it won't happen to a coward."

His fierce confidence shocked Don Jin, Anika and others.

To be honest, everyone knew that this Oriental man was not content with his past achievements.

But he never expected that he would not only create miracles, but also become the Tyson of the UFC system! ?

"OK, I understand!"

Tang Jin suppressed his excitement and said:
“Next, I will help you stir up this cross-border war.

As for whether you can achieve your goal, it depends on you. I hope you won’t let our efforts go to waste!"

"You can arrange it. Just tell me the date of the game one day in advance."

In order to maximize profits, important UFC events require 20 days to a month to prepare and promote.

There is no way to be impatient.

Don King nodded and said:

"Sponsor those, do you want to meet them?"

Du Sheng glanced at the time and stood up first:

"Then let's go. While there's still time, let's go to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce first."

Don King was walking and talking on the phone.

UFC only provides the platform and boxers, while others need to be connected by boxing promotion companies.

Next, a series of things such as event promotion, arrangement, sponsorship negotiation, etc. will enter the process, and he will be busy.

If everything goes well, according to the profit-sharing agreement signed by Du Sheng, the net profit of this game should be no less than two million US dollars.

Since the news that Chuck Liddell accepted the challenge came out, a wave of enthusiasm has swept Los Angeles.

Many boxing fans expressed their willingness to buy tickets to watch the fight, as they wanted to witness with their own eyes this arrogant oriental boy being brutally beaten.

The reasons included Du Sheng's provocation and his scandal with Hilton's daughter, as well as his music works being included in the Billboard Hot 100, which were also remembered by many people.

They felt as if their own daughter had been eaten by a wild boar, and they were very angry.

The urgent need to vent has invisibly brought huge popularity to the competition.

In order to increase his influence and obtain sponsorship, Du Sheng first turned his attention to the Oriental Consulate General in Lighthouse and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles.

With official support, it will be easier to promote.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is a potential source of sponsorship.

Du Sheng's popularity and fame are there, and he successfully obtained the endorsement of the Consulate General on the grounds of sports and cultural exchanges between China and the United States.

Then, we took this opportunity to reach a sponsorship agreement with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

As the first Oriental to fight a championship challenge in North America, even though UFC is not as well-known as boxing, if Du Sheng can win, his influence at home and abroad cannot be underestimated.

Most members of the Los Angeles Chinese Chamber of Commerce are engaged in international trade with the East. Considering Du Sheng's future business value and political endorsement, they believe that the sponsorship money is definitely worth it.

In the end, Du Sheng received sponsorship of up to 1.5 million US dollars, plus ticket and other income.
Even with the current low PPV revenue, he can still achieve his goal of at least $1 million.

In other words, the revenue from this game is no less than that from the K1 finals.

If we add in the legal off-site lottery proceeds...

Even if it is not enough to invest in "Wanted", as long as we kill a few more people, the future will definitely be promising!

"Let's go, call me if you need anything."

Seeing that it was getting late, Du Sheng stopped talking and said goodbye, then embarked on the journey back home with Wang Yaoyang.

Don King sent them to the car and then looked away.

After more than ten hours of flight, I returned to Beijing safely.

Due to the time difference between the two places, when the plane that crossed the ocean slowly landed on the runway of the international airport, it was already evening in Beijing.

When Du Sheng stepped out of the cabin, what greeted him was not only the familiar air, but also the warmth of home.

When I returned to the villa, I found several girls from Girls' Generation sitting on the sofa in the living room, with anticipation in their eyes.

Obviously, they had already learned of Du Sheng's return date.

It happened that I was in Beijing to participate in the recording of the Spring Festival Gala.

So we arrived at this common home in advance and prepared a small 'welcome party'.

Du Sheng stretched out his arms, wanting to give the four beautiful girls a big hug. Yang Mi moved slightly, as if wanting to respond, but Liu Yifei fixed her eyes with a look, as if to say:
"Don't move, we are in the process of judging!"

Liu Shishi winked at him, and Tang Yan stood up and sat down again, with a hint of amusement in the awkward atmosphere.

Obviously, the rumors about Du Sheng's romantic affairs abroad made these four beauties feel a little unhappy.

Especially Liu Yifei, there was a hint of interrogation in her eyes.

Du Sheng looked at Liu Yifei's solemn face and turned to Liu Xiaoli with a smile:
"Sister Li, it seems that I came back at a bad time.

I brought back a batch of gifts from abroad, but it seems I can't give them away.

The company's annual meeting will be held soon, so we might as well use it as a lottery for the employees."

Liu Xiaoli smiled and shook her head, but she cooperated:

"That won't do, you have to at least get back the LCD TV that Toshiba sent you.

Otherwise, your new Game Boy handheld device, without a big screen, would be boring to play with.”

"TV? Don't we have one at home?"

Du Sheng raised his eyebrows and said with pretended interest:
"That's fine. I heard that this newly released LCD TV has a high-definition screen. I can't wait to experience Far Cry on the big screen."

Liu Xiaoli looked at Liu Yifei who was eager to try and couldn't help but laugh:

"I still prefer "Chinese Paladin" and "Age of Empires". It's more fun to play them online."

Liu Yifei finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked:
"Where's the Game Boy? Cousin, you didn't forget to bring it to me, did you?"

Ever since she experienced the street hall with Du Sheng in Hengdian last time, Liu Yifei has been fascinated by these little fun things.

This can also be considered as an indirect influence of Du Sheng.

However, her favorite leisure activities are those that involve competition, and she can only feel satisfied when there is a winner.

In addition to the two games her mother mentioned, Need for Speed ​​is also a favorite.

This time when Du Sheng went to the United States, he brought back the latest model of Game Boy.

Compared to the first generation more than a decade ago, the latest Game Boy is more powerful, making it an excellent home handheld device that can play many classic games.

Seeing that Liu Yifei's attitude had softened, Yang Mi could no longer contain her inner joy and threw herself towards Du Sheng.

She didn't care that Liu Yifei rolled her eyes. Liu Shishi and Tang Yan looked at her shyly. She clung to Du Sheng and kissed him.

Du Sheng shook his head, put down the increasingly unruly girl, and hugged Liu Shishi and Tang Yan with a smile.

After reestablishing his "friendship" with the girls, he opened his suitcase and took out some gifts.

Liu Yifei immediately took the game and became a fan of it, and couldn't wait to open the package:
"Since you still remember to buy me a gift, I'll forgive you this time."

Du Sheng smiled and joked:
"That's more like a cousin. If someone didn't know the situation, they would have thought it was a jealous girl in court."

Liu Yifei snorted and immersed herself in tinkering with her new toy.

With her being the first to 'surrender', the other three girls were even more cheerful, and the living room was immediately filled with laughter.

The previous little unhappiness seemed to have never existed, leaving only warmth and happiness in the room.

Du Sheng took out a bunch of various gadgets from his luggage.

Each one was carefully selected and given to Yang Mi, Tang Yan and Liu Shishi respectively.

Most of these gifts are small helpers in life or study, from stationery to cosmetics, to bracelets, etc., each one reveals Du Sheng's thoughts.

Girls' Generation's album promotion came to an end on December 12. After a short break, the four sisters are returning to campus life.

Although Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi and Tang Yan are already frequent visitors to the university campus, these little surprises from Du Sheng still make them smile.

Liu Xiaoli has now officially become Girls' Generation's manager, and she's so busy that she can't even sit still.

She told Du Sheng a few things about recent events, then changed into formal attire and went out.

It seems to be a problem with endorsements.

Du Sheng smiled and ignored them, concentrating on having fun with the girls.

The game he mainly plays is "Legend of Sword and Fairy", after all, this is the game he endorses.

Even though he didn't play much, Du Sheng still easily defeated the four girls, causing them to look at him sideways.

Liu Yifei was a bad player but she was determined to win a game against Yang Mi.

If Du Sheng hadn't seen that it was getting late and deliberately disrupted the battle, I'm afraid there would have been two more people in bed tonight.

Du Sheng sent a few girls back to school. After coming back and hearing Wang Yaoyang's reminder, he simply turned on the computer and browsed domestic news websites.

Only then did he understand that the reason those girls came all the way here was because of his scandal in the Lighthouse Country.

After fermenting for a period of time, his scandal with Niki finally caused a stir in the country.

Major media outlets competed to report on it, making it a hot topic recently.

His signing with the UFC and his verbal spat with Chuck Liddell have not yet become the talk of the town, but judging by the trend, that will happen soon.

Du Sheng browsed the news online slowly.

Various reports emerged one after another, and netizens' discussions were even more heated.

“The song “Just the way you are” is truly a masterpiece!”

"My dog ​​was so moved that he cried after hearing this, as if he was remembering the beautiful female dog he met by chance at his doorstep that year.

It is so charming, but the two sides missed each other, and it is a forever regret! "
