I Raised The Richest Man In The World

Cheng Hao died in a car accident, transmigrated to America in the 1980s, and became a Chinese American. At this time, Microsoft and Apple were still developing, the Internet wasn’t popular, and mobi...

Chapter 126 The Frugal Boxing Champion

In September 1994, the WBC professional boxing tournament reached the finals.

In this competition, there are two boxers who attract the most attention.

One of them is Cheng Hao, and the other is Claude - these two boxers who had never participated in a competition before met in this professional boxing match.

Although the final has not yet reached its end, countless people have already paid attention to this WBC professional boxing match. After all, the peak showdown between Cheng Hao and Claude is really exciting.

However, that match will have to wait for at least another ten days.

Today's game is between Claude and Bart.

Bart is a very strong heavyweight boxer, but he has bad luck.

He suddenly appeared in the early 1980s and rose to prominence, but was targeted by OC Company and framed and imprisoned.

Ten years ago, something happened at OC Company. He was finally cleared of the charges and released from prison. He started boxing again and happened to meet Cheng Hao and Claude.

Bart is a very hardworking person. He has been participating in competitions all the time, but he has never won the boxing championship because Cheng Hao and Claude always take turns to participate in those professional boxing matches!

So he either lost to Cheng Hao or to Claude, but he couldn't win the boxing championship.

But he still makes a lot of money.

Boxing has actually always been a relatively niche sport. Many people don’t understand it and don’t pay much attention to it. However, Cheng Hao and Claude dominated the boxing world for ten years and became more and more famous. As later generations said, they became "popular outside the circle", which made more and more people start to pay attention to this sport.

As more people pay attention, boxers will have more ways to make money and earn more money.

Bart now earns at least one million a year.

Of course, Cheng Hao and Claude earned more, especially Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao is a yellow man, and his fans in the United States are actually not as many as Claude's, but Claude cannot take many jobs, for example, it is difficult for him to shoot commercials, but Cheng Hao is different!

Whether Cheng Hao is shooting commercials or endorsing products, the results are always great!

More importantly, with China's rise, he, a Chinese, has come into the attention of the Chinese people.

Although he is an American citizen, he is Chinese after all. Becoming a boxing champion is also a glory for the country. Especially in recent years, China has attached great importance to sports, so he is very famous in the country.

As a result, many companies that want to enter the Chinese market will come to him to shoot commercials.

At the same time, Chinese people who run companies overseas also like to ask him to shoot commercials.

In addition to filming commercials, endorsements, and appearance fees for participating in competitions, Cheng Hao earned over a million yuan a year seven or eight years ago. Now, he earns at least four or five million yuan a year.

He is the most money-making boxing champion today. I don’t know how many people like him, and the media is always chasing after him.

However, now, this boxing champion with strong money-making ability is eating pizza with another boxing champion who can earn at least two to three million a year.

Cheng Hao and Claude packed a lot of food from Pizza Hut and were eating together.

"Cheng, this lasagna is so delicious!" Claude scooped the lasagna with a spoon and ate it happily.

"If you like it, eat more. If you win later, I will treat you to hot pot." Cheng Hao said.

Thankfully, with his current status and financial resources, it's becoming increasingly easy to get domestic seasonings! Unfortunately, there are very few domestic manufacturers specializing in hot pot base, boiled pork seasoning, pickled fish seasoning, and other condiment packets, so it's still not very convenient for him to eat them. Making them himself is always less authentic.

However, he still manages to eat there from time to time, as he now knows several Chinese chefs in the United States.

No matter what cuisine those chefs are good at, making hot pot is no problem and it is easy.

When Claude heard that he could eat hot pot if he won, his mouth started watering: "I will fight hard and win!"

"Come on," Cheng Hao said, and took all the food in front of Claude except the lasagna to his side. "Just eat the lasagna, don't eat anything else."

"Why?" Claude looked at Cheng Hao aggrievedly.

"Don't eat too much before the competition!" Cheng Hao said without hesitation.

"Okay..." Claude agreed, but still said, "Even if I eat too much before the game, I can still beat my opponent down."

Claude's opponent Bart: "..."

Bart has often played with Cheng Hao and Claude in recent years, and the two sides are quite familiar with each other.

As a boxer, he doesn't eat before a match. Now he has to watch Cheng Hao and Claude eat, and Claude also said this...

Bart felt like hitting someone.

Well, he will soon have a chance to have a good fight with Claude, but unfortunately, if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely not be able to beat Claude.

This is really uncomfortable.

Bart suddenly thought of something he had always wanted to ask: "By the way, Cheng, why did you come to the competition with Claude this time? Are you really going to retire after this game like they said?"

"I have no plans to retire. Claude and I came to participate in the competition because they gave us a lot of money," said Cheng Hao.

He had never participated in the same competition with Claude before. On the one hand, it was to avoid competing for the title of boxing champion and the prize money. On the other hand, if he never competed with Claude, he would definitely be able to collect a lot of money if they had an open competition one day.

This time he planned to compete with Claude because the organizers gave him an attractive enough appearance fee.

This time, the organizers of the competition really went all out. In order to let him and Claude fight in this match, all the sponsorship fees given by the sponsors of this professional boxing match will be divided equally between him and Claude!

Cheng Hao's lawyer signed a contract with the competition organizer. If nothing unexpected happens, he and Claude will get a total share of two million US dollars.

If he and Claude split it, they would each have one million dollars!

Of course, the organizers of the competition also have certain requirements for them, so they started promoting this match at the beginning of this year. Up to now, WBC has sold the TV live broadcast rights alone at a crazy rate, and many sponsors have given them money. Tickets are also sold at very high prices, plus various peripherals... This professional boxing match has attracted the attention of almost all boxing fans!

This game is also hailed as the most anticipated game in the past ten years!

This was inevitable. Ten years ago, countless people wanted to see Cheng Hao and Claude compete, but what happened? Although Cheng Hao and Claude were always together, they just didn't compete!

When Bart asked about it, Cheng Hao told the truth, saying that he played this game just for money, but Bart didn't quite believe it: "Just for money?"

"What else could it be?" Cheng Hao said, "I'm short of money."

Bart looked at Cheng Hao speechlessly.

As the most valuable boxing champion, Cheng Hao said that he is short of money... haha!

However, Cheng Hao's daily life really doesn't seem like that of a rich man...

"You earn so much, how come you are short of money? Speaking of which, I've always been wondering, you are so rich, why do you drive an ordinary Cadillac? I don't see you wearing expensive clothes, and your food is even simpler... You used to have work meals!" Bart looked at Cheng Hao with a puzzled look on his face.

Compared to his, Cheng Hao's life can really be described as simple.

He earns far less than Cheng Hao, but he goes to all kinds of high-consumption places, wears famous brands, and eats, not to mention. Anyway, he didn't eat the work meals provided by the competition this time.

But Cheng Hao is different.

The media secretly photographed Cheng Hao, but they didn't capture him entering or leaving expensive restaurants, but they did capture him buying groceries in a supermarket; they didn't capture him living in a mansion, but they did capture him entering or leaving an ordinary community; they didn't capture him wearing designer clothes, but they did capture him wearing the same clothes for several years.

Boxers like them usually have many women throwing themselves at them, but as it turns out, Cheng Hao has never even been photographed with a woman!

Someone had previously photographed him shopping with a mixed-race beauty. He even came out to clarify that the mixed-race beauty was his agent's daughter and had nothing to do with him.

Is this something that needs to be clarified? There is absolutely no need to clarify this!

Bart really couldn't understand Cheng Hao!

This person is so pure and unselfish that others think he is "no good"!

Cheng Hao saw Bart’s face full of questions and said, “I have to support my family, so I have no money.”

Over the years, Cheng Hao has handed over all his income to Lin Yuxun.

That is a huge sum of money, enough for them to live well, but Lin Yuxun's game company is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems to require a lot of funds?

Today, Lin Yuxun's "Treasure Hunt Game" has become the largest computer game company in the United States and even the world... Well, there are not many game companies now, and such a large company that has been expanding should require a lot of money, so Cheng Hao asked Lin Yuxun to invest all his money into it.

In this case, he will be out of money, right?

No, he was not actually broke. Lin Yuxun gave him several credit cards and let him use them at will, but he did not like luxury goods and did not have the hobby of spending money. He usually used the cards to eat.

Even when it comes to eating, he has no interest in expensive but small portions of French or Japanese food, and it doesn't cost much either.

He was also embarrassed to spend more.

Lin Yuxun is now the boss of a large company, but he still goes home to cook every day and doesn't buy many new clothes. Even the house he and Lin Yuxun live in is the one they bought with a loan ten years ago, and Lin Yuxun is still paying off the loan every month...

Cheng Hao felt that Lin Yuxun probably didn't have much money.

So if you can make money, make more.

He planned to return home after the game. He would have to stay for several months at most, and was afraid that he would not be able to make money, so he took advantage of this game to earn more.

Cheng Hao spent all his money to support his family?

"Is there anyone gambling in your family?" Bart could only think of this possibility.

"No." Cheng Hao said without hesitation.

Danny is obsessed with painting and doesn't even like to play games, let alone gamble. As for Lin Yuxun... Lin Yuxun has been very busy in the past ten years.

It would be fine if he was just busy, but Lin Yuxun probably lacked a sense of security. He would often chase after him and watch his games everywhere. If he couldn't be with him, he would call him all kinds of times. After getting a mobile phone in recent years, Lin Yuxun's contact with him became even closer.

Speaking of which, mobile phones appeared earlier than Cheng Hao remembered... Of course, it is also possible that he remembered the year when mobile phones appeared incorrectly.

He lived in China in his previous life, and perhaps mobile phones appeared in China later than in the United States.

Lin Yuxun's gaming company is now quite large, and Lin Yuxun is still chasing him around all day. Cheng Hao believes that he definitely has no time to gamble, but... "My family has started a company, and it requires a lot of investment."

"..." Bart looked at Cheng Hao speechlessly: "You gave all your money to your family to start a company? Are you sure he has the talent in this area? If he doesn't have the talent, no matter how much money you give him, he will spend it all! God, starting a company sometimes costs money faster than gambling!"

"His company is quite big. Even if he doesn't make much money in the past few years, he will definitely make a lot of money in the future," said Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao felt that there was another reason why Lin Yuxun didn't make money in the past few years, and that was that computers were not very popular at that time.

There weren't as many people playing computers as there are now, so making computer games shouldn't have been as profitable, right?

However, Lin Yuxun's games are really well made and very popular, and he will definitely make a lot of money in the future.

Cheng Hao looked confident, but Bart looked at him speechlessly.

He suspected that Cheng Hao's family had lost all his money, or that the family might have been defrauding Cheng Hao of his money from the beginning.

How easy is it to start a company?
