Chapter 28 Boxing Agent



Cheng Hao knew nothing about what was happening in the Cheng family.

Cheng Jinhao was actually dead, and the one who survived was Cheng Hao, so he subconsciously put the Cheng family aside.

At this moment, Cheng Hao was happy about one thing - he made a lot of money this time!

He had fought two games before and became famous. This time, not only did many people place bets on his fight, but some people also offered him bounties. So after one game, he earned a total of 120 yuan, which was equivalent to all of Lin Yuxun's current savings.

Putting the money in his pocket, Cheng Hao felt very happy.

Lin Yuxun looked at Cheng Hao with extremely complicated feelings.

He listened to what Cheng Hao said. He knew that he had no reason to stop Cheng Hao from boxing, but he also realized one thing, that is, Cheng Hao was really good.

Cheng Hao has always been thinking about him and Danny.

How lucky is he to meet Cheng Hao?

However, he still didn't want Cheng Hao to fight. After all, it was too dangerous. It would be great if he could make a lot of money.

Unfortunately, what he has now is less than what Cheng Hao has, and he has no way to make money at all.

Cheng Hao didn't know what Lin Yuxun was thinking. He took Lin Yuxun outside the locker room to watch the next game.

Since Lin Yuxun is here, there is no need to hide it. It is better to let him know the situation so that he can worry less.

Since no one around him understood Chinese, Cheng Hao spoke to Lin Yuxun in Chinese: "Competitions like this are basically for the lowest-level boxers, but they can still make money. If you can make it, you can get a very high appearance fee."

Cheng Hao knew something about professional boxing in the United States, but not much, so he just talked about it briefly.

Lin Yuxun heard everything and kept an eye on the situation around him.

After a while, Lin Yuxun suddenly asked, "Can I place a bet here?"

"Okay." Cheng Hao said.

"Then can I go and place a bet?" Lin Yuxun asked again.

Cheng Hao really didn't know... He asked Carpenter.

Carpenter said: "Boxers can't bet on their own fights, but you can bet a little on other people's fights."

After hearing Carpenter's words, Lin Yuxun seemed to be lost in thought, and Cheng Hao also thought of a possible way to make money - betting.

He has a good eye and can basically guess who will win and who will lose.

In this case, if you bet five or ten dollars each time, it's great if you make money, but if you don't, you won't lose too much either.

Cheng Hao was thinking about something when Carpenter asked again, "Cheng, do you want to find a boxing agent?"

In the United States, many organizations have come together to package boxing into a very profitable sport.

In order to make more money, these organizations will sign boxers, let them compete, pay appearance fees, and even organize some competitions themselves - as long as they choose the venue and invite the boxers, they can start selling tickets!

In this case, if you can train a powerful boxer and package him into a sports star, you can really make a lot of money!

This operating model is actually somewhat similar to the entertainment industry, and boxing agents are not much different from celebrity agents in the entertainment industry.

"Of course I want a boxing agent...but does anyone want me?" Cheng Hao asked.

"Of course, you're great, and you're young." Carpenter said, "I'm very optimistic about you. If you're willing, I can be your boxing agent."

"You?" Cheng Hao looked at Carpenter in surprise.

Carpenter said, "Yes, me. For many years, I have always relied on boxing to make money, but now my physical condition is not as good as it should be. I want to change my career and become a boxing agent. If you are willing to follow me, I will definitely train you to be a professional boxer."

"I need money," Cheng Hao said. Boxing is very profitable, but not every boxer can make money. Many boxers who have just entered the industry not only cannot make money, but also have to pay to participate in boxing matches organized by certain organizations...

Because of this, some boxing agents do not pay boxers at first after signing them, especially those younger boxers.

"I can take you to the competition, and we'll split the appearance fee in half." Carpenter said, "You can also continue to participate in competitions here, and the money you earn will be yours."

"I'll think about it." Cheng Hao said.

Carpenter agreed.

After talking with Carpenter, it was already late and the boxing matches were almost over, so Cheng Hao took Lin Yuxun out of the bar.

When he was watching a game with Lin Yuxun before, an audience member came over and gave Cheng Hao some food. Cheng Hao ate it all, so he didn't need to buy any other food on the way back.

When they got home, Danny was already asleep.

The two of them tiptoed onto the bed and fell asleep.

The next day, Cheng Hao woke up when he heard a noise outside, and then found that Lin Yuxun was already cooking.

Lin Yuxun added eggs and water to the flour and made it into an omelet. He also stir-fried a plate of carrots with sausages and then boiled a plate of broccoli.

While eating breakfast, Cheng Hao noticed that Lin Yuxun looked even more tired. He was afraid that he didn't sleep well last night. At the same time, he thought of something: "By the way, how did you know that I was boxing with Old George?"

Lin Yuxun's appearance yesterday was so sudden that Cheng Hao was so focused on how to convince Lin Yuxun that he forgot to ask Lin Yuxun how he knew he was boxing.

Lin Yuxun's expression froze, and after a while he said, "I know there were people fighting there, and when they saw you injured, they got a little suspicious... And when I went there, they thought I was your brother and put me in."

Cheng Hao had no doubts.

Since Chester knew that boxing was allowed in Old George's bar, Lin Yuxun certainly knew it too.

Cheng Hao said, "Let's finish your work quickly, and then you can take a nap in the afternoon."

"You don't have to go, I can go alone." Lin Yuxun immediately said: "You are already very tired!"

"If I don't go, you might not be able to finish your work until very late." Cheng Hao said, "Let's go!"

Cheng Hao hugged Danny and took Lin Yuxun away.

He planned to let Lin Yuxun stop working after some time, when he had more money, so that he could focus on his studies, and then find a better school for Lin Yuxun to study.

As for now...his job is unstable after all, so it's okay to let Lin Yu look for a job for a while.

The three of them met Chester on their way to work.

But Chester saw them from a distance and ran away.

Cheng Hao was very satisfied when he saw this - he had taught this man a lesson several times, and finally this man didn't dare to provoke them anymore!

However, he didn't know that Chester was not afraid of him, but Lin Yuxun.

People like Chester are the best at observing people's words and expressions. After getting along with Cheng Hao, he knew that Cheng Hao was a very decent person and would not really do anything to others. That's why he was not afraid of Cheng Hao and took advantage of the situation when he found out that Cheng Hao was injured.

At most they would be beaten up by Cheng Hao, and they didn't have to worry about anything else.

Lin Yuxun is different.

Chester couldn't help shivering when he thought of what happened a few days ago.

Lin Yuxun didn't know what he had eaten that day. After he returned home, he felt uncomfortable all over and was sick for two days. Now his legs are still a little weak!

It’s okay to provoke Cheng Hao, but you must not provoke Lin Yuxun!

This kind of creepy guy might kill someone at any time!

If Lin Yuxun knew what Chester was thinking, he would be speechless.

He gave Chester a little bit of laundry detergent that day. Chester didn't swallow much, so he didn't get sick at all. In fact, Chester scared himself and made himself sick.

As for killing people, that was even more impossible. He still wanted to make money and live a good life, so how could he possibly kill people?

However, if it were in the past, he might really pull out a knife to attack someone after being pushed too far. At that time, he was in complete despair, and it would not be surprising that he did anything.

After finishing work that day, Lin Yuxun went to sleep, but Cheng Hao trained alone on the balcony on the top floor.

His training mainly includes skipping rope, push-ups and squats, which can be done on the balcony and are quite simple. As for running, he can just go out for a run in the evening.

Danny can't hear any sound, so he always sleeps very well at night and doesn't take a nap in the afternoon. When Cheng Hao is training, he reads or writes beside him, and occasionally does some exercise with Cheng Hao.

Of course, he often couldn't do more than a few.

For example, he spent a lot of effort to learn how to jump rope, but he would be too tired after jumping a hundred times and could not continue.

Cheng Hao is very dedicated during training, and during breaks, he will teach Danny something.

There weren't many words he could teach. Seeing Danny writing carefully in a new notebook, Cheng Hao suddenly thought of something. He took the notebook and drew a chicken, a duck, and a little man on it.

He just casually drew a simple sketch, but it turned out to be very lifelike.

Upon discovering this, Cheng Hao was stunned.

After all, he can't draw at all... He had no education when he was a child because his family was poor, and he didn't learn when he grew up and joined the boxing team. His drawing skills remained at the kindergarten level!

So, he could draw something like this... Cheng Hao took out Cheng Jinhao's memory and looked at it, only to find out that Cheng Jinhao had been learning to paint since he was a child, and his father was also very good at painting.

Of course, Cheng Jinhao has not only learned painting since he was a child. In fact, he has also learned many skills such as piano, Go, saxophone, tennis, swimming, etc., which can be said to be versatile.

It’s a pity that all of this is just a memory for Cheng Hao. He can’t master it unless he practices it specifically.

At most... more than ten years of painting experience allows him to draw a very beautiful stick figure of a duck.

Cheng Hao became interested and drew another pig.

Danny was clapping excitedly beside him, extremely happy.

When Cheng Hao continued to train, he also followed along and drew, but his drawings were a mess.

Cheng Hao didn't have any requirements for Danny. Even if Danny's paintings were messy, he would pick Danny up and give him praise. When Lin Yuxun got up, he even said, "Let's go buy Danny some paint and brushes so that he can paint when he's bored."

"The paints and brushes are a bit expensive." Lin Yuxun thought of this the first time.

Cheng Hao said, "You can't measure everything with money. This will cause you to miss out on things. For example, if you think certain learning materials are too expensive and can't afford to buy them, you might not learn what you need to learn and won't be able to enter university... We can't waste money, but we have to spend the money we need to spend. By the way, here's the money."

Cheng Hao said this and gave the money he got last night to Lin Yuxun.

"I still have money, you don't have to give it to me." Lin Yuxun said quickly.

Cheng Hao said, "No, it's better for you to hold the money. If I hold it, I might spend it all by accident."

Cheng Hao has always felt that he should not spend money indiscriminately, but the last time he spent all the money he had just received, he began to doubt his financial management ability.

Come to think of it, he really didn't manage money well in his previous life... As an athlete, he had no time to spend money, nor did he need to spend money.

Since he can't control the money himself, he might as well let Lin Yuxun take it.

Afraid that Lin Yuxun would refuse, Cheng Hao said, "We are a family, you should help me manage the money."

When Lin Yuxun heard the word "family", his heart felt warm and he no longer thought about returning the money to Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao added, "By the way, if you study in the future, you will know that the more you manage your money, the more you will have, because you can use the money to invest."

"Investment?" Lin Yu asked.

"Investing means using money to buy assets, such as stocks." Cheng Hao said this and thought of companies like Microsoft and Apple.

If you can invest in such big companies and buy their stocks in their early stages, you will definitely make a fortune in the future!

However, both companies now exist, but they still have no money.

In another ten or twenty years, when they have money, they may not be able to afford to buy the stocks of these companies.

Cheng Hao quickly stopped thinking about this, after all, he didn't even know how to buy stocks.

If he wants to make money, he might as well think about the appearance fee he can get after becoming a boxing champion. Then he can also shoot commercials and endorse products, or even make a cameo role in a movie. That's all money!

In the United States, boxing was originally played by white people, but later many black people flocked in, because as long as the poor dared to fight, they could rely on boxing to change their destiny. Many people here go to boxing, just like the poor people in Kenya who work hard to practice long-distance running.

Of course, it’s a bit far-fetched to think about these things now.

While Cheng Hao was thinking about his boxing career, Lin Yuxun took Cheng Hao's words to heart.

He can buy more assets in the future, making Cheng Hao's money more and more.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuxun suddenly had an extremely strong desire to learn. He wanted to understand the knowledge that he didn't understand, and he also had a strong desire to change all this.
