I practiced in the United States

Chapter 182 Serving as Honorary Chairman

Li Ang's words suddenly reminded everyone of the scene where Maurice Lloyd punched Li Ang in the face. Compared to Li Ang knocking down his opponent and receiving a punch from a professional boxer without any reaction, it was even more unusual.

Even Maurice Lloyd, who had just been defeated by Li Ang, stood up to speak for Li Ang.

"If anyone thinks that Li Ang's ability to resist punches just now was not practiced in Chinese martial arts, but through other methods, he can come out and punch me in the face. If he can perform as unscathed as Li Ang, then I agree with your questioning point of view.”

At this moment, even the group of people who were the most skillful at using force simply shut their mouths. Anyway, if they continue to argue, there will be no results. It is not worthwhile to receive another punch, let alone the rightful owner. Everyone started to support Li Ang.

In fact, the reason why Maurice Lloyd stood up to support Li Ang was because he saw Li Ang's potential.

Even his boxing coach in the audience had just made no secret of his affirmation of Li Ang's talent.

Based on this fighting ability and the lethality of his fists, he felt that with a little more systematic training, Li Ang could compete in professional boxing matches.

And with his talent, his future achievements will be far better than his own. At this time, if he can use some insignificant things to gain Li Ang's favor, he will definitely make a profit.

After the award ceremony was over, Lyanna and Aisha broke through the crowd and came to Li Ang's side.

"Can I touch your trophy?"

Aisha looked at the golden trophy in Li Ang's hand, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Lyanna was somewhat incoherently telling Li Ang some of her thoughts after watching Li Ang's game.

"Honestly, I never thought that you would have such a brilliant performance. I don't mean to disapprove of you. You know, this is really unbelievable."

A few people just stayed for a while, and soon a white middle-aged man approached Li Ang.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Giovanni Daniel. I am a professional boxing coach and the head of the boxing team. Your opponent in the boxing ring just now was trained by me."

"That's right. I think you have extraordinary talent in the sport of boxing. If you train with me, I guarantee that within half a year, you will become a new star in the boxing world."

Li Ang nodded and replied:

"I might need to go back and think about it, and maybe you could give me your business card and call you if I feel like it."

Li Ang answered more tactfully. In fact, he did have relevant wishes, but it also required careful planning and careful consideration.

Although he is now a novice in the professional boxing arena, his strength is not. He can definitely find a more powerful and well-known team of coaches and managers.

Don't underestimate this. A successful boxer is not only strong, but also has a team of coaches and agents behind him.

In fact, boxers can also be understood as stars after fighting. Not only do you need to be strong, you also need to have the right resources, that is, you have to find someone to fight you.

Everyone knows that if you challenge stronger and more famous players, you can earn blood if you win, but it is not a big loss if you lose. You can even make money even if you lose. But the problem is, those players with more famous reputations, Why should I fight you?

Solving these off-field problems is no easier than on the field.

However, the coach seemed not to hear the meaning of Li Ang's words, or he did, but wanted to fight for it. He took a few steps forward, stopped Li Ang who was about to turn around and left, and continued to persuade:

"Believe me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you follow me, you will have a competition right away. There will even be professional players who will be your sparring partners. And I also know a very powerful agent. All you need is In a few years, you can make money that you could never make in your life before.”

I have to say that the conditions he proposed are quite sincere. Unfortunately, Li Ang is not an ordinary newcomer.

Li Ang frowned and was about to refuse directly, when suddenly another voice came from behind.

"You'd better save it, Mr. Li Ang won't choose you."

Giovanni Daniel's face darkened, he turned around, and was about to get angry. The other players hadn't spoken yet. Why did you come over to interrupt? But when he saw the person who was speaking, he suddenly and seamlessly switched his expressions. , turned into a somewhat ugly smile.

"Mr. Jonas David, why are you here?"

It just so happened that he knew the person who spoke behind him, and so did Li Ang.

Although Li Ang didn't know his name before this, he had indeed seen him in Dana Bai's office.

It's no wonder that these coaches are so scared. One is a direct subordinate of UFC President Dana White, and the other is just an ordinary boxing coach. There are quite a lot of differences in status.

Jonas David ignored him at all, but walked directly in front of Leon and stretched out his hand to him.

"We meet again, Mr. Li Ang. Your performance today is very impressive. To be honest, it is beyond my imagination. I just had a phone call with our president and reported your situation. Likewise, I was also following his instructions. Next, I would like to discuss some follow-up cooperation issues with you.”

Li Ang shook hands with him and asked:

"Is it about signing to become a UFC fighter?"

Jonas David smiled and said:

"It seems that I was too obvious. That's right. Mr. White invites you to discuss this matter further, which can be regarded as a deeper cooperation between us."

Behind him, the coach who heard the conversation between the two turned around and left silently without any nostalgia.

Just kidding, the president of UFC came to poach people, and even a fool would know how to choose.

Leanna and Aisha, who were standing by, also covered their mouths in surprise. Although they didn't pay much attention to these fighting competitions on weekdays, they had heard of the name of UFC mixed martial arts. How could they have thought that Li Ang would have the opportunity to become a star player in it.

The image of Li Ang in their hearts, from an ordinary high school classmate to a classmate who was very good at fighting, it seems that he will become a sports star classmate?

Even if you don't know much about deeper things, it is not difficult for those who have paid attention to the news to know that some UFC star players can even earn tens of millions of dollars a year.

Just relying on this number, it can prove a lot of things.

This time, Leon did not say that he would talk about it later, but directly expressed his willingness.

"It's just that I still have some things to do here, you know."

"It's okay, I understand very well. Mr. President has been in New York all this time. If you are free, you can come anytime."

After that, Jonas David left a business card for Leon, and after saying hello, he turned around and left. He was confident that no one would refuse this invitation.

Leon was not prevaricating this time, but he really hadn't finished dealing with the Chinese Wushu Association. In addition, he would not go to discuss the contract with them alone. There happened to be an old acquaintance here, so he would not waste it.

After seeing off Leanna and her sister, Javier soon came over.

As soon as he saw Leon, Javier quickened his pace, approached Leon and said:

"Long time no see, coach, I really missed you, I didn't expect to meet you here."

After the two greeted each other, Leon also noticed that there was a woman in her early twenties next to Javier, wearing a long windbreaker, a white shirt, a plaid skirt and black stockings inside, and the whole person was quite ladylike.

And from her curious expression, this person is definitely not Javier's entourage.

"Fremea Jones, Javier's aunt."

"Leon."

The two made a brief self-introduction to each other and shook hands, which was considered an acquaintance.

"You came at the right time, and I just need Adele's help with something."

Leon also told them about Jonas David's talk to him about UFC players, hoping to get legal assistance from Adele.

Javier agreed without any hesitation. In fact, even if he didn't say it, Adele would agree. Before that, Javier's parents had already told them that they owed Leon a favor. When he encountered difficulties, they must help him as much as they could.

After listening to this, Fremea sighed in her heart. Now it was even more impossible to ask Leon to be Javier's home coach.

Although UFC players also have an extremely competitive and difficult road, it is still easier than ordinary people to cross the class.

After the matter here was over, Li Ang also came to the venue of the Chinese Wushu Association after talking to Yang Zhenghong on the phone, and then held a post-match meeting.

He was considered to be late, so as soon as he entered the door, he attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

However, these eyes were not blaming him for being late, but eyes of admiration, praise, envy, and jealousy.

Before Li Ang took two steps, the whole audience looked at him and burst into warm applause, which made him a little embarrassed. He won an exchange conference and made it seem like he was going to ascend the throne.

As he was looking for his seat, he realized that his seat was in the front row.

The treatment at this time was in sharp contrast to when he just got off the plane.

After talking nonsense, they also talked about some key topics.

First, Chu Yuanfeng was invited to serve as a director of the Chinese Wushu Association, and his annual salary was $200,000.

And he didn't need to go to work, just show up when some major matters needed him to deal with.

This thing sounds like giving money for free, but in fact it is similar to the guest elders of a big family.

At this exchange conference, Chu Yuanfeng also showed extremely strong combat power. This group of old foxes pulled him into this camp in order to find the right person to help when facing such difficulties in the future.

This is of course not a loss for Chu Yuanfeng. Helping a martial arts gym to fight is much better than fighting underground black boxing, and the salary is also quite considerable. Although he doesn't chase money, he doesn't mind too much money.

Since Chu Yuanfeng has arranged it, Li Ang naturally can't run away.

However, even he himself did not expect that these people were quite courageous and arranged a position for him, which was the honorary chairman of the Chinese Wushu Association, with an annual salary of 500,000 US dollars.

Generally speaking, the position of honorary chairman is only given to those who have made great contributions to the association or those who are very senior in status. It was really unexpected that he was directly appointed to the position this time.

As expected, even the coaches of the martial arts schools in the audience showed unbelievable eyes just after the announcement.

Li Ang won the championship of this competition for the Chinese Wushu Association, which is indeed a very big contribution, but if it is really quantified, it is not so big that it can be directly given to the honorary chairman.

In fact, the reason why they are willing to give such a position to Li Ang is to win him over.

Not to mention that Li Ang's strength is the best in the whole field, he even defeated professional boxers, and more importantly, Li Ang is now less than 18 years old, and there are unlimited possibilities in the future.

Now it seems that the position of honorary chairman of the Chinese Wushu Association is a bit high, but in a few years, Li Ang may not be willing to sit in this position.

And for these old hands, giving a position is not really paying anything important, nor does it reduce their power.

An annual salary of 500,000 sounds a lot, but with so many martial arts schools, it is actually not much if everyone shares it.

Just because Li Ang won the championship this time, the extra benefits they got from the distribution of benefits would be several million US dollars.

Compared with the cost, the benefits are naturally many. Since Li Ang has become the honorary chairman of the association, when the association is attacked again in the future, when there is such a competition to participate in, or when they need to link up with other organizations and hype, Li Ang will be able to play a big role.

Therefore, after the people in charge explained the interests, everyone unanimously passed the decision.

As for Li Ang, he is naturally willing to reach such a cooperation.

This is equivalent to a mercenary who was originally charged per time, and now has become a regular army with wages.

And let alone other things, the title of honorary chairman of the Chinese Wushu Association is also very impressive.

This is not a sleazy association, but an association founded by hundreds of martial arts schools in New York, with a history of several decades.

Chu Yuanfeng was quite convinced that Li Ang was paid more than himself. He only believed in one thing: the bigger the fist, the harder it is. Li Ang was much stronger than him, and he deserved it.

The collective reward was received, and Li Ang did not forget the individual reward of Huaqiang Martial Arts School.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Zhenghong consciously increased Li Ang's reward to 200,000 US dollars.

In this martial arts exchange conference, Huaqiang Martial Arts School, as the main representative, was the biggest beneficiary. Moreover, Li Ang has now become the honorary chairman of the association, so he has to hold on to this thigh.

In fact, before the meeting, Yang Zhenghong called his junior brother.

"Junior brother, thank you so much this time. The master you recommended is really good and helped us a lot."

On the other side, Yan Tianqi was still in a daze.

"Ah? What master? Are you talking about Li Ang?"
