Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 104 Miss Thompson

Coming back from the sea and seeing off the boxing fans disguised as tourists, Link turned on his phone and received a congratulatory message from Huaxia, as well as two missed calls.

The name is Crystal Liu, the Chinese actress he met on the plane when he went to participate in the Olympics.

Link sat back on the beach chair and called the phone. He heard a confused voice saying: "Link, do you know what time it is in Hanking?"

 “It’s about eleven o’clock, have you gone to bed?”

“Of course, if I don’t go to bed at 11 o’clock in the evening, do you think I am a night owl?”

“Okay, how about I call you tomorrow?”

Link said with a smile.

"No, you've already woken me up." The **** the phone yawned, "What's the reason you called me in the middle of the night?"

 “I want to learn Chinese with you.”

"Learning Chinese in the middle of the night? Hateful, you must be deliberately trying to tease me. Oh, I remembered. I just called you before going to bed. I was watching TV at night. The evening news said that Olympic champion Link won the World Boxing Association Golden belt, becoming the youngest world boxing champion in boxing history, you are so awesome, congratulations to you, Link."

The girl said in a clear voice.

"Thank you! It's just a belt." Link said humbly.

"Too humble. I just checked. The world boxing champion belt is very rare. The WBA gold belt is the most valuable. You became the world boxing champion at the age of 20. You are so amazing. When I saw you at that time, I saw you so... Gentleman, I didn’t expect you to be so capable.”

 The girl said happily on the phone.

Link smiled lightly. When Chris Liu came to the United States to promote "The King of Kung Fu", she happened to be on the same flight as him when she returned to the capital. Link took the initiative to say hello, and the two got to know each other.

“Chris, what have you been doing lately? When will you come to the United States? I’ll take you diving.”

“I don’t know when I can come. It probably won’t be too long. Things are not going well for me at work recently. Maybe I will come to Hollywood to develop my career.”

The girl yawned and told him some work matters. The production company of "The King of Kung Fu" wanted to sign him, but she was unwilling. There were some conflicts between the two parties, and the other party threatened to ban her.

“Come to Hollywood. There are many opportunities here. I forgot to tell you that I am also an actor.”

 “Are you serious?”

"certainly."

Link told her some things about filming on the set.

While we were chatting, a voice came from the microphone over there, "Feifei, why haven't you slept yet? Who are you calling in the middle of the night?" When Chris Liu heard the shout, she quickly told Link that my mother is here and we will talk tomorrow. .

Link said good night and hung up the phone.

 “Link, don’t sit there, come quickly and help.”

Daniel called him on the beach in the middle, along with Michael and Sares.

I don’t know where they found some firewood and piled it in the sand pit. There were four barbecue grills and several folding tables around it. There were a lot of drinks and fruits on the tables.

Michael also brought out the full set of speakers from the store, and a loud Spanish song sounded on the beach.

 “What are you doing?”

 “There’s a party, didn’t James inform you?”

Michael shouted, turning down the speaker.

 “What party?”

“Of course it’s a party to celebrate you winning the gold belt. You’ve become a world boxing champion, shouldn’t you have a party to celebrate?”

Several people stopped and looked at him and asked.

“The day before yesterday at the Hilton Hotel, wasn’t it considered a celebration party?”

“No, that’s just your company’s drinking party, not a party. The party held on the beach is our party.”

Daniel smiled.

"All right!"

Link didn't care and let them set up on the beach. After a while, hundreds of people came to the beach, mostly neighbors. Everyone brought food and drink, wore shorts, shorts and bikinis, and held a barbecue party on the beach. .

In the afternoon, there were more people on the beach. There were three to four hundred people. From the public pier to Baker's shop, there were party scenes. Link was not stingy. He bought dozens of boxes of beer and drinks and donated the yacht to let the party go. Everyone had fun.

Midway through, Mario and Reggie got the news from unknown sources and drove over to join the party.

A group of people were listening to music, drinking, dancing and playing in the water on the beach, making the scene very lively.

Only Link is still sitting on the beach chair, holding a glass of champagne and watching everyone having fun. “Hey Link, are you having a party here?”

 Assistant Simon came down from the sand bar, followed by a tall woman.

The woman has long golden hair, wearing a milky-white Chanel suit and white high-heeled shoes. She has a bulging figure and is always heavy when she walks. She wears a delicate diamond watch on her thin wrist, which shines in the sun.

 Compared with the crowd on the beach, her dress seemed too refined and her temperament was too outstanding, making her stand out from the crowd.

Link stood up and said hello.

 “Link, let me introduce you.”

 Simon walked over, pointed to the woman next to him and introduced, "This is Miss Tompu, Vice President of Tompu International."

Simon came over and said softly, "Top International has increased the prize money for the competition to 10 million US dollars, which is higher than the price offered by several other competitors. Tyson has already agreed, and after discussion, we are also ready to agree. Now it depends on what you mean, Ivaca said she wants to come over and talk to you in person. "

Link smiled softly, stretched out his hand and said to Miss Ivaca: "Miss Ivaca, welcome to Baker's shop."

When Iwaka came over, she kept staring at him, shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Mr. Link Baker, you have indeed become a boxing champion. Your confidence back then was surprising."

Link smiled and said: "Thank you! I told you before that I would become a world boxing champion, and of course I have to do it."

Ivaca blinked her eyes and raised her red lips slightly, "So your golden belt is also due to me?"

"Yes, you inspired me. Please allow me to thank you in person."

Link picked up a glass of champagne, put it in her hand and smiled.

"You're welcome!"

Ivaca smiled slightly and brushed the golden hair on her cheek.

Next to him, Simon saw the two chatting so familiarly, and suddenly felt that he seemed a bit redundant here. He simply said hello, picked up a bottle of beer and ran to dance.

Link invited Evaka to sit down on the beach chair next to her. Evaka sat down with her skirts fluttered, her calves crossed together, her figure became plumper due to her sitting posture, and she also smelled of expensive perfume.

“Link, I heard that you are now the vice president of Dynasty Promotion?”

Iwaka turned her head and looked at his side face and asked.

She is still somewhat curious and interested in this 20-year-old boy who has grown from a beach boy to a multi-millionaire and world boxing champion without the help of his parents and relying only on his fists.

Although she has seen many young and promising people in the upper class, it seems that no one is as outstanding as Link.

Link chuckled. The title of vice president was assigned to him by Franco. He said he wanted him to help manage the company. In fact, he rarely went to the company.

“Yeah, so what do we two vice presidents want to talk about?”

Iwaka smiled when he heard what he said was interesting, took out a piece of information and put it on the table and said: "Link, you are one of the most popular boxers in the boxing world. Although Tyson's popularity has declined, his popularity has declined. His reputation in the United States is still unmatched by anyone.

The match between you two is destined to become the most eye-catching event in the boxing world. We at Tompu International are very optimistic about this match and have the ability to make this match a grand event. This is our plan. Take a look. "

Link opened the planning document handed over by the other party and looked at it. Tompu International had obviously done a lot of work. It was a thick pile of information and was very substantial.

Link took a rough look at it. With his current level, he couldn't see any problems, so he wouldn't find fault with it.

“Miss Iwaka, I have a question. Your company, Tompu International, has never promoted boxing events. Why is it interested in boxing events this time?”

 Hosting a boxing match is also a type of boxing promotion, because when hosting a match, if you want to make a profit, you need to expand the publicity and attract more attention from the audience.

Top International has never been involved in this field, so Link asked more questions.

Ivaca said unhurriedly: "Our Tom Group and NBC TV have jointly hosted many Miss America. We also have several casinos and hotels in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and have held many boxing matches. But before we We are partners with boxing promotion companies, and now that we have stepped into the forefront and become the organizer, we have no shortage of relevant experience.”

Link remembered that this family had a big business. They had big hotels and casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New York, Los Angeles, Miami and other places. Those places did hold boxing matches, but they used to be The landlord is now here to open a shop and do business.

Link also remembered something. Not long ago, there was a report in the "Business Daily" saying that due to the impact of the real estate bubble and the financial crisis, Mr. Thompson's net worth has shrunk significantly, from the 2.5 billion announced by Forbes last year to about 1.8 billion U.S. dollars. , Tompu Entertainment, Atlantic Casino and other industries under Tompu International suffered losses of hundreds of millions of dollars and were on the verge of bankruptcy.

The other party suddenly hosted a boxing match, maybe they had this in mind.

"Sounds good!"

 “So it’s a pleasure to work together?”

Iwaka stretched out her soft palms and smiled.

 “Happy to work with!”

Link shook her hand.
