Chapter 99 Ultimate Fighting Championship (Seeking monthly ticket subscription support)
After another war ended, Zhang Feng's career in Madagascar, Loulan and America was developing steadily and his strength was slowly growing.
Time came to 1936 in a peaceful world. One event worthy of attention this year was the Berlin Olympics.
It has been four years since the last Los Angeles Olympics. Time flies.
After this Olympics, the next one would be the 1948 London Olympics. The two in between, the 1940 Tokyo Olympics and the 1944 London Olympics, were both cancelled due to World War II.
America, Los Angeles, Monchi Manor.
The manor is quite lively today. A month ago, Heidi Monch and Vivien Leigh both gave birth to a son for Zhang Feng, although the three women in the family have not yet completely accepted them.
However, he still took the initiative to invite Heidi Monch and Vivien Leigh to the manor to hold a full moon party for the two children. After all, the children are innocent.
"Arthur, you won't find several wives in the future, will you?" In a corner, Christine was holding a plate of cake and eating elegantly while asking casually.
"Of course not, I will definitely not be like my philandering father. I will only marry one wife in my life." Zhang Chengtian shook his head frantically and said sincerely.
He is now almost 10 years old and is nearly 1 meters tall, about the same height as 5-year-old Christine next to him.
Although he is still very young, his face has already grown into a handsome young man. When he walks on the street, he is enough to attract the attention of a large number of young girls and young women.
"That's good, otherwise I'll let my dad break your legs." Christine said the cruelest words in the gentlest tone.
"Tsk, your dad can't beat my dad." Zhang Chengtian said proudly.
From a developmental perspective, girls develop earlier than boys, so emotionally, girls also mature earlier than boys.
"Then I will break your legs myself." Christine suddenly became a little crazy. He held the plate in one hand and kept beating Zhang Chengtian's strong chest with the other hand, no longer caring about being a lady, dignified or elegant.
Zhang Chengtian inherited Zhang Feng's physique as a time traveler, so this amount of damage was just like a tickle, it couldn't even hurt the skin, but he was not stupid enough to resist this time to prove that not only was his dad stronger than her dad, but also Christine couldn't beat him.
Originally, Zhang Feng did not invite outsiders to the full moon banquet. After all, it was not a good thing to show off openly.
However, Christine heard from Zhang Chengtian that the Zhang family was going to hold a party for his two younger brothers today, so she directly asked Zhang Chengtian to bring them over to play.
Zhang Feng even taught Zhang Chengtian a lesson for this, saying that there are some things that cannot be told even to best friends, and that he is so obedient to Christine before they are even married, so who will be the one in charge of this family in the future?
Zhang Chengtian listened carefully to his father's teachings, and just smiled without refutation.
Just when the full moon banquet was halfway through, Guan Mao walked up to Zhang Feng. He was also invited to attend the banquet today. When Zhang Feng saw him, he knew it was an important matter and took him to the study upstairs.
"Boss, this is what the intelligence agent just sent back. Please take a look at it first." After saying that, Guan Mao took out a newspaper and handed it to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng took the newspaper and unfolded it to see that it was a cartoon with the following picture:
Under the five Olympic rings, a group of skinny Chinese people with long braids, long gowns and jackets, carried a large duck egg on a stretcher, with the title "Sick Men of East Asia".
It turned out that at this year's Berlin Olympics, the Chinese government at the time declared nearly thirty events and sent a delegation of more than 140 people. Among all the events, except for the pole vaulters who entered the semi-finals, all others were eliminated in the preliminaries and were ultimately wiped out.
When the delegation passed through Singapore on its way back home, this foreign cartoon satirizing the Chinese was published in local newspapers.
After reading it, Zhang Feng also understood that from then on, "Sick Man of East Asia" would spread in the Western world and become a mark that would take a long time to wash away.
Zhang Feng was very angry after reading it. This incident had a great impact on him. The image of success (the business he founded and his relationship with Roosevelt) and strength (destroying the gangs) that he had worked hard to create would be greatly reduced.
The most important thing is that it will affect his subsequent plans to improve the status of Chinese people and lift the Chinese Exclusion Act. Everything he does will be ineffective. How can he tolerate this?
"Send someone to check which newspaper it is. As for what to do, you know." Zhang Feng calmed himself down and gave the order.
"I understand, boss." Guan Mao almost roared. He was in a bad mood at the moment. He had always been calm, but now he was filled with anger.
"Also, publish a message in newspapers around the world that Monkey Chang will hold the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in the United States, inviting martial arts masters from all over the world to participate. There are no restrictions on the competition, as long as you are bare-handed, and there is no limit to any moves. The final winner will not only be awarded the title of boxing champion, but also receive 100 million US dollars. The date is set for more than a month later, October 1936, 10."
After Zhang Feng pondered for a moment, he continued to give instructions.
He decided to follow Huo Yuanjia's example and prove with his strength that the Chinese are not the sick men of East Asia. He would use the huge bonus and his influence to announce it to the world. Zhang Feng's time travel benefit gave him the highest physical fitness of human beings and an unparalleled learning ability. Over the years, he often participated in the training of manor guards and also found some fighting experts from all over the world to train special forces.
Therefore, his fighting skills have been maxed out, and this time he is going to show the results of these years. On the one hand, it is to restore the reputation of the Chinese, and on the other hand, he has been practicing for so many years and is itching to get this world honor. Men cannot resist the temptation to conquer the world in any way.
He still has this confidence, and he will not joke about his life easily.
"Yes, boss!"
In fact, this cartoon was not the first to call the Chinese "sick men". The term "Sick Man of East Asia" was a derogatory term used by foreigners to refer to the Chinese from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China. It first appeared in an article published on October 1896, 10 in The North China Daily News, an English newspaper founded by the British in Shanghai.
At that time, the rise of the Westernization Movement in the Qing Dynasty and the expansion of the navy gave the Chinese people hope for national prosperity.
However, with the complete failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Chinese people fell into a thorough reflection. At that time, the Chinese people were invaded by opium, and everyone was pale and thin. Therefore, Yan Fu, a reformist thinker at that time and later served as the president of the Imperial University of Peking, published "The Origin of Strength" in Tianjin's "Zhi Bao" and said: "China today is not still a sick man." "China is a sick man."
Some patriots also put forward the slogan of "healing the sick man before healing the country". Therefore, tracing back to the source of "Sick Man of East Asia", it is a title given to oneself by the Chinese people. The novelist Zeng Pu used the pen name "Sick Man of East Asia" in his book "Flowers of Sin".
Deep down in Zhang Feng's heart, he actually wanted Madagascar to become independent before this year so that he could send people to participate in the Olympics to win glory and restore the reputation of the Chinese.
Now, many children with potential in Zhangjiacheng have become stronger after more than six years of eating beef and milk, and their physical fitness has surpassed many people in this world. They were originally trained as soldiers, and Zhang Feng plans to use them to show the new image of Chinese people to the world in the upcoming World War II.
If we miss this Olympics, we will never have this opportunity again, because the next one will be after the war, which will be more than 10 years later, and by that time, all countries in the world will not focus on sports.
People's attention is on rebuilding their homes, restoring the economy, and living a good life. Who has time to pay attention to which country won how many gold medals in the Olympics?
If we miss this opportunity, it will be basically difficult to change the world's impression of Chinese people.
But in the end, Zhang Feng gave up this idea. The time for independence is not yet ripe, and he does not want to attract the attention of the world at this time. The best time is to develop slowly. The best time will be when World War II or around World War II when the great powers have no time to care about him.
But Zhang Feng didn’t expect something like this to happen. If he had known earlier, he might have acted impulsively.
Now, Zhang Feng can only pin his hopes on the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Then he will show off the Chinese personal strength to the world, and then show off the Chinese military strength during World War II.
Combining the two, one plus one should be greater than 2.
The next day, Zhang Feng came to Shennong Biopharmaceutical Company. Because of the fighting, he thought of fitness supplements.
Let the company develop and produce protein powder, creatine, etc.
Now he has the Phoenix Football Club, Kuiniu sports shoes, and sports medicine in the sports industry.
It is more comprehensive.
The late 19th century saw a food innovation with the creation of milk-based foods - powdered milk, which originated in continental Europe and became commercially important in products such as Plasmon (dehydrated milk), which was produced in Germany but then exported to the UK.
Plasmon first emerged in England in the late 19s and soon took the sport by storm.
In the first decade of the 20th century, in order to make the product more influential, Plasmon invited Eugene Sandow to be its spokesperson. Eugene Sandow was known as the father of modern bodybuilding and had an extraordinary influence at the time. Therefore, many people flocked to the store with the dream of becoming as strong as Sandow to buy the product for themselves.
As the political sphere changed in the 20s and 30s, Britain's dominance in sport
Once a hotbed of powerlifters, strongmen and entrepreneurs, London's attention is now turning to the United States, whose reputation in bodybuilding is on the rise.
It was during this time that a young American pharmacist, Eugene Schiff, founded Schiff Biofoods.
is a natural supplement company whose main product is whey protein.
Through these, we can know the development stages of various industries in countries around the world, just like the T0 version of South Korea and Japan that we always hear about.
This period of time is the beginning of the booming development of the American fitness industry, and Zhang Feng’s sports company certainly cannot be absent.
From the pharmaceutical industry to the financial industry, to the military industry, daily chemical consumer products industry, and sports industry, the first three are core assets at all times, and the latter two industries will need to wait until the world economy has experienced another stage of rapid development before they can show a money-making effect.
Of course, there is also the nascent oil and energy industry.
