Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

During the lunch break, he received a message from Teacher Yu, asking if he was interested in playing the male lead in "Love Has a Next Life".

Lin Ke said that he was too busy and had no time to film. If her new movie lacked investment, he could help.

Teacher Yu agreed.

"Lin Ke, how did you train your speed? Why is your punching speed so fast? Even I, a lightweight, can't beat you."

In the training hall of the national boxing team, Zou Shiming waved his fist and asked.

"I think it's probably talent and hard work. I originally had a lot of strength, so it's easy to punch. In addition, I also do a lot of speed training."

Lin Ke put away his phone and said.

"According to what you said, if we train harder, we will have a chance to catch up with you in speed?"

Zou Shiming asked seriously.

"It's possible, but pay attention to the combination of work and rest during training, and be careful of injury."

Lin Ke chatted with Zou Shiming, changed into a sports T-shirt, and went on stage with boxing gloves to fight with Zou Shiming, Zhang Xiaoping, Zhang Zhilei, Hu Qing and others.

While fighting, he taught them how to attack, how to defend, how to use combination punches, how to use their own advantages to defeat opponents, how to find opponents' flaws, etc.

After graduating from university, the State Sports Bureau issued a document to hire him as a coach of the boxing team to help train the national team's boxers.

Link did not refuse. When he was not busy, he would often come here to train and teach several people everything he could. How much they could learn depended on their talent and hard work.

Several people were able to enter the national team and become national players, and their talents would not be bad.

It's just that there are not many boxing masters in China, and there are no high-level boxing competitions, which leads to their lack of practical experience. When they encounter strong opponents in the competition, they often don't know how to deal with them. Sometimes they will perform abnormally and have some problems.

And Link is a world-class boxer with rich practical experience, which can just make up for the shortcomings of the boxing team in this area.

After training with him for more than a year, several main players of the national boxing team have made obvious progress in technology and boxing quality.

The only thing lacking is the experience of competition.

In this regard, the level of domestic boxing championships is average, there are not many contestants, not many masters, and not many boxing masters can be selected through boxing championships.

And this situation cannot be improved in a short time.

Now Zou Shiming and others want to get the experience of big competitions, they can only participate in more international boxing events, including the Asian Games, the Boxing World Championships, the Boxing World Cup, the Olympic trials, etc.

As long as they can pass these amateur competitions, their performance in the Olympic Games will not be bad.

After the afternoon training, Link opened his mobile phone again and saw a message from Teacher Yu, saying that he wanted to talk to him about the project "Love Has a Next Life" and asked him when he was free.

Link said he had time on the weekend.

There was also a missed call from Lao Liu Liu Qiangdong on the mobile phone, and Link called to ask Lao Liu what was going on.

Since investing in JD.com, although he has not participated in the specific operation and management of the company, every time Liu Qiangdong encountered a problem and called to ask for advice, he would give some reasonable suggestions.

In August, he took Lao Liu to meet Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, in the United States. Lao Liu and Jeff Bezos had a good chat and learned a lot of useful experience.

In addition, in terms of funds, Link has continued to invest in JD.com since 2004, and has invested nearly 30 million US dollars in JD.com's operation and expansion, allowing JD.com, which was originally going to raise funds in 2005, to persist until now.

Lao Liu said on the phone that he would return to Beijing today and invite him to have dinner together.

Link said yes.

The place for dinner was in the Hui cuisine restaurant next to JD.com's headquarters. The two only ordered four signature dishes and a bottle of Moutai.

During the meal, Lao Liu talked about the purpose of this trip back. Recently, the company has developed smoothly in East China.

There are branches in Dahai City, Wuxi, Hefei, Qingdao and other places. At the same time, it has also created the first professional blog system in the country with products as the main object. Currently, JD.com's daily order processing volume has exceeded 2,000.

The next step for the company is to enter the South China region.

Link asked if he wanted money?

Lao Liu gave him a look of understanding.

Lao Liu said that he needed more money this time, about 300 million to 400 million. Now he has raised 160 million, and there is still a gap of about 200 million. Lao Liu asked him if the capital chain was tight. If it was tight, he could find others to attract some investment.

Lin Ke said that he was not tight, and he still had some cash on hand for the time being, so 200 million was not a problem.

Although he did not participate in the competition recently, he continued to receive copyright shares from several albums, as well as dividends from shares of several companies, and the investment department of Jin Beike also made some investments in other projects.

Now even if he does nothing, he can earn 100 to 200 million every year, and more in a few years.

Seeing that he was so straightforward, Lao Liu toasted him with a wine glass in both hands, saying that meeting him was like meeting a Bole.

Lin Ke laughed and said that Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya were more suitable.

Lao Liu laughed, clinked his wine glass with him, and drank it all.

After dinner, Lin Ke drove to the princess's house to spend the night, and continued training the next day. On the weekend, Lin Ke made an appointment with Teacher Yu to meet and promised to invest one million in her new movie "Love Has a Next Life".

There was another good news over the weekend. Liu Yifei attended the 6th China Golden Eagle TV Art Festival in Changsha and served as the Golden Eagle Goddess at the opening ceremony, thus becoming the first Golden Eagle Goddess in the history of the Golden Eagle Festival.

Liu Xiaoli held a grand party for Liu Yifei in the hotel and invited company employees and some acquaintances in the circle to attend.

After attending Liu Yifei's celebration banquet, Lin Ke flew to Sanya to participate in the 56th Miss World beauty pageant held here, which was also the third time that Sanya held this event.

After several rounds of selection, Zhang Zilin stood out from the Huaxia region and became the Miss World champion of the Huaxia region. Then she represented Huaxia in the Miss World finals.

After several rounds of competition and selection, Zhang Zilin defeated 106 beauties from all over the world with her beautiful appearance, smart answers and elegant demeanor, and won the Miss World title. She is also the first Miss World in Huaxia.

After becoming the Miss World champion, Zhang Zilin still needs to fulfill some of the duties of Miss World.

Including promoting world peace, setting an example for outstanding women, helping hungry and disabled children, and conveying positive energy through participating in public welfare activities and charity projects, showing the charm and influence of women.

Lin Ke proposed that Zhang Zilin join the 1+1 Charity Foundation as a director, so that she can raise funds through her influence, and supervise the donations of the foundation to be implemented. Zhang Zilin can also create a good public image through these activities.

Zhang Zilin agreed after considering it.

At the end of November, Link followed the Huaxia Sports team to fly to Doha, the capital of Qatar, to participate in the 15th Asian Games held there.

The Asian Games will be held from December 1 to December 15. A total of 11,000 athletes from 45 countries and regions will participate in 39 major events and 424 minor events.

Link filled in 8 events, including 100 meters, 200 meters, 1500 meters, 3000 meters, 5000 meters, 10,000 meters, shot put, and javelin.

After more than ten days of competition, Link won 7 golds and 1 silver, and broke the Asian records in 5 events, including 100 meters, 200 meters, 1500 meters, shot put, and javelin. He also created the competition records of the remaining three events, but failed to break the records in this Games.

He also became the most popular athlete in this Asian Games with his 7 golds and 1 silver.

In addition, the Chinese boxing team won 4 gold and 3 silver medals, which also refreshed the best performance of the boxing team in international competitions.

The Chinese team ranked first among all countries in this Asian Games with 165 gold, 88 silver and 63 bronze medals, a total of 316 medals.

The second place was South Korea with 58 gold medals and 193 medals, and Japan ranked third with 50 gold medals and 198 medals.

After the Asian Games, Link returned to Kyoto and continued to participate in training in various events, and began recording his second English album.

The songs in this album are still copied from the original second album "Keep On Movin'".

Compared with the boxing style of the first album, the theme of this album is more positive, including 14 songs such as "Give me reason", "Believer", "Trouble I'm In", "Keep On Movin'", "This Is Me", and "Rainbow".

The album took two months to record and Warner Records plans to release the album in March.

At the end of the year, the weather in Kyoto gradually became colder, and occasionally snowflakes would float in the sky.

After recording the album, Link had nothing to do. In addition to training every day, he practiced piano in the courtyard, and occasionally took time to date Lin Zhilin, Tang Yan, Princess Wang, and Yu Feihong.

Last time, he talked about the film project with Teacher Yu.

Teacher Yu invited him to sit at home and drank some red wine, and then some things happened that should happen.

Teacher Yu has not had a partner for many years. He seems to be more pure and unselfish, but in fact, he has strong needs, which is somewhat similar to Princess Wang.

Teacher Yu said that she has not considered marriage and does not want children. She just wants to find a long-term partner who can meet her physical needs and asked him if he is willing.

Link did not refuse.

In January, the list of nominees for the 49th Grammy Awards was announced. Link received two nominations for the album "The fighter", Best Newcomer and the best single of the year "unstoppable".

The Grammys hope that he can attend the Grammy Awards in February and perform on stage.

Warner Records believes that his participation in the Grammy Awards can help promote the new album and increase the exposure of the album.

Link agreed.

Shortly after the Grammy Awards were announced, the 79th Academy Awards shortlist was announced, and Curse of the Golden Flower received two nominations, including Best Foreign Language Film and Best Costume Design.

Director Zhang was very happy after receiving the news, and invited Link to attend the awards ceremony in February.

Link said that it depends on the schedule, and he will definitely attend if he has time.

However, this year's Spring Festival is on February 18, which is right between the Grammy Awards and the Oscars. If you want to go to the United States, you need to fly back and forth twice, and you may not have time to attend the Oscars. (End of this chapter)
