After Cheng Hao signed the contract with the company, he discovered that professional boxers really look like celebrities.
He even had to design an external image.
The company Cheng Hao signed with was in another city. They had a five-story building as their headquarters. Inside this building, there was a special boxing training hall, where people would sometimes prepare for boxing matches.
Cheng Hao had not been here when he signed the contract. After giving the signing bonus to Lin Yuxun, he followed Old George to this city by train.
When he entered, he met many young boxers who were about fifteen or sixteen years old. These were boxers trained by ZYF Company. They would go to some schools to select good seedlings, and then let their parents sign permission documents to bring them here for training.
During the training process, some people will drop out, but some can stick with it. These fifteen or sixteen-year-olds are among those who persevered.
When Cheng Hao went in, they ran out to look at him, with envy and provocation in their eyes, and each of them looked at him with fighting spirit.
Cheng Hao smiled at them and went to meet the owner of the company.
This is a man in his thirties, his last name is Carter.
Mr. Carter is a white man with a ruddy complexion. He wears a striped suit and looks energetic, except that he has a slightly protruding belly that cannot be concealed.
Seeing Cheng Hao, he smiled widely. "Violent boy, huh? I've watched all your matches, they're great!"
"Thank you." Cheng Hao said.
Mr. Carter talked to Cheng Hao about his future career plan.
Cheng Hao had read several boxers' autobiographies before, and had some understanding of the development of boxers at that time, so when the two sides talked, he would not be completely clueless.
He might even offer some insights of his own.
In addition, he also agreed to all the rules set by Mr. Carter, such as not taking drugs.
"Cheng Hao is a good boy. He won't do anything illegal." Old George said on behalf of Cheng Hao.
Mr. Carter smiled. “Yes, he is different.”
Boxers have to start training at the age of eleven or twelve. Rich families are reluctant to let their children learn this, so most boxers have poor grades and problems with their conversation. Carter once met someone who couldn't calculate his income with a computer, and even met someone who spelled his own name wrong.
Compared with those people, Cheng Hao in front of him can be said to be different.
Compared with Lin Yuxun, Cheng Hao is definitely a poor student, but compared with other boxers, he is a top student, and even makes people think that he is well-educated.
All of this was vividly demonstrated when Carter invited Cheng Hao to dinner.
In the previous life, in order to prevent Cheng Hao and his team from losing face when they went abroad to compete, the boxing team specially hired someone to teach them some foreign etiquette, including table manners. The original owner of this body also often ate Western food in Hong Kong. Cheng Hao's table manners were very good, even better than old George.
Carter liked Cheng Hao more and more: "I think we can create a different image for Cheng! Let's do this. When he's competing, he's a violent kid, but normally, he can be a gentleman! We need to show that! I think the audience will like it!"
"I think it's a good idea too," said Old George.
They had a pleasant conversation and Cheng Hao also enjoyed his meal. He looked very handsome while eating and it made people very hungry.
Mr. Carter said, "Cheng, you really don't look like a boxer at all."
After he finished speaking, he saw Cheng Hao eating a basket of bread and then asked the waiter to add three more baskets - the bread here was served in an exquisite small basket, and each basket contained about five or six fist-sized round breads.
Carter: "...Well, you still look like a boxer..."
After lunch that day, Carter went back. At the same time, the team assigned to Cheng Hao by the company also came to Cheng Hao.
This team consists of a publicity specialist, a boxing trainer, and an assistant. The first two will not always follow Cheng Hao, but the assistant will follow Cheng Hao.
The assistant was called Galen, a white guy in his twenties. According to Carter, sometimes things would be more convenient with a white person around, so he arranged for Galen to follow Cheng Hao.
After this team came to Cheng Hao, the first suggestion the publicity specialist gave Cheng Hao was to get a haircut.
Cheng Hao has been very busy recently and hasn't had his hair cut for a while. The publicity specialist asked Cheng Hao to get his hair cut, bought him a few sets of clothes, and then took Cheng Hao to take a few photos and did some interviews with him.
This photo and interview will be published in a boxing magazine.
In addition, they also began to arrange boxing matches for Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao’s previous opponents were basically amateur boxers, but from now on, his opponents will be stronger professional boxers!
In order to boost Cheng Hao's confidence, ZYF Company first selected a person who was not very strong but had some fame to compete with Cheng Hao, and also brought in a sponsor to sponsor the game.
According to the publicity specialist, Cheng Hao's current goal is to participate in more competitions, expand his fame, and strive to have his games broadcast on ESPN... The so-called ESPN is an American channel that broadcasts sports content all day long.
Of course, he would also arrange magazine interviews for Cheng Hao, so that more people would know about Cheng Hao.
Just as Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun said, he became busy after becoming a professional boxer.
Three months passed quickly.
In the previous three months, Cheng Hao participated in six games and accepted five interviews, and spent the rest of the time training. When George Sr. came to find him, he was training with Claude in the company.
"Cheng Hao, we will be going back in a few days." Old George came in from outside and looked at Cheng Hao with energy.
Cheng Hao's career was developing very well, and Old George also became more energetic. However, he was particularly happy today. As for the reason... they were going home.
After more than three months away, they are going home, and when they return home, they will also celebrate Christmas.
Cheng Hao thought of Christmas, and also thought of Lin Yuxun and Danny.
It was the first time since he traveled through time that he was separated from Danny for such a long time, and he really missed Danny a little.
And Lin Yuxun...
Before going home, Cheng Hao attended ZYF company's year-end party.
This party will be attended by all employees of ZYF Company and boxers. Everyone will get together and eat a lot.
The party was held in a hotel. Carter spent a lot of money to book this hotel. That night, all the people in the company could eat, drink and have fun here happily.
Cheng Hao and Old George went there together. As soon as they got there, the girl sitting at the door called out to them: "Cheng, George, over here!"
"Do we have to sign in here?" Cheng Hao asked curiously when he saw a table in front of them.
"Yes, you need to sign in here!" The two girls said, "You can also draw a number here. There will be a lottery later. Maybe you will be the one drawn."
"Thank you." Cheng Hao signed his name in the sign-in book, then drew a number card from the box next to him, and Old George followed suit.
It is a buffet style place and everyone can take the food here at will. In addition, there is a host to preside over the party. He has prepared some games for them to play and will also draw some prizes for everyone.
"What's the prize this year?"
"I heard the boss bought a lot of game consoles."
"Is it the new Nintendo game console?"
“That should be it!”
"Great! This game console is selling so well, I haven't even bought one yet!"
…
Cheng Hao was eating a piece of barbecue when he heard several boxers around him talking.
ZYF company has many boxers who are trained by themselves, and these boxers do not like foreign boxers like Cheng Hao, so Cheng Hao’s relationship with people in the company is very average.
But he was busy and didn't care about that.
Cheng Hao didn't care when he heard others talking about the prizes.
In his previous life, he was born in the 1990s, a generation born in the 1990s who spent most of his time in training and had a rather boring life. He had heard of Nintendo game consoles, but had never played one... In the era when he lived, few people played game consoles.
They usually play mobile games.
Because of this, Cheng Hao had no interest in the game console that was given as a prize, but the people around him were all very excited: "I heard that this game console has several games installed in it!"
"They also added a new game called Snake, which I heard is very interesting."
"It's out of stock everywhere now, and I don't know where the boss got it from."
…
Everyone except Cheng Hao is very interested in the game console.
Listening to them, Cheng Hao also became interested in this game console.
He had played the game Snake before when he used a non-smartphone, and he missed it quite a bit now... At that time, his Nokia color-screen phone came with two games, one was Snake and the other was Tetris. Both were very fun. He was only a teenager at that time, but he could never get tired of playing them.
"Violent boy?" An older white man with gray hair came up to Cheng Hao holding a glass of wine.
"Hello." Cheng Hao looked at the other person with a smile.
"Heh." The man sneered and walked away with his wine glass.
"Who is this person?" Cheng Hao was a little confused by this old man and looked at Old George in confusion.
Old George said, "This is one of the investors of ZYF Company. He's a racist, so he's not very polite to you... You don't have to pay too much attention to him. He can't interfere in the company's affairs."
"There are quite a lot of people like this." Cheng Hao said.
"Of course, there are a lot of people like that," said Old George. "Having a good complexion really helps one have a lot of luck."
Old George's face was full of emotion when he spoke, which was quite different from his usual style... Cheng Hao was thinking this when he heard Old George say, "But those who think skin color determines everything are rubbish! Shit! There are so many Uncle Toms!"
There was a very famous book at that time called "Uncle Tom's Cabin". In the book, there was a black man who was very flattering to white people. So many people used Uncle Tom to refer to those black people who flatter white people.
Coincidentally, at this moment, a few black people were trying to please the white man who had been rude to Cheng Hao just now.
"Even if they lick his feet, he won't even look at them!" Old George said, "Damn it, these guys only know how to embarrass us!"
Old George obviously didn't like the black people's behavior of trying to please the white people. He drank a lot of wine angrily and looked in a very bad mood.
Cheng Hao comforted him and gave him a drink.
Cheng Hao doesn't drink alcohol. He doesn't like the taste of alcohol, and alcohol is harmful to the body.
But the vast majority of people in this country love to drink and like to get drunk...
Old George was a little drunk: "Some black people don't even dare to fight white boxers. Do you know? Can you believe it? He is a boxer, but he dares not fight his opponent when he gets in the ring!"
Cheng Hao was also a little speechless after hearing this. This was the first time he heard of such a thing...
However, there are many white people in this company, or even the majority are white people... Cheng Hao took Old George to a corner to prevent his words from being heard by others.
It also makes it easier for me to eat more...
Cheng Hao was eating when the host on the stage called out, "Number 78, where is number 78? You will get a game console!"
The host called out several times, but no one answered. Cheng Hao suddenly thought of something and looked at Old George: "Old George, what's your number?"
"What number?" Old George asked in confusion.
Cheng Hao remembered that he put the number in his pocket, so he just took it out and it turned out to be number 78!
Cheng Hao had attended various banquets before, but this was his first time attending a banquet like this. He was quite happy to have won the award: "Here!"
"Old George, wait a minute, I'll go receive the award," Cheng Hao said.
The award ceremony was quite quick. The host knew very well that the boxers would not say any polite words, so he didn't let anyone say anything.
When Cheng Hao returned, Old George was drinking quietly.
After handing the prize to Old George, Cheng Hao said, "Congratulations, you won!"
Old George snorted.
At the same time, the university's student apartments.
Shi Wenzhen has returned to China, and Lin Yuxun rented his apartment.
When Shi Wenzheng was still around, Lin Yuxun would cook from time to time. He was grateful to Shi Wenzheng for giving him the opportunity to go to college. Since Shi Wenzheng liked the food he cooked, he would definitely cook.
But since Shi Wenzheng left, he never fired a fire at home again.
He doesn't want to spend time on cooking.
At this moment, Lin Yuxun was in his apartment, discussing the company's next plan with his classmates and colleagues.
Earlier this year, he and Galton founded a company.
Galton provided the money and he contributed the work to this company. At the beginning, the shares were divided in half. But later, after he got the money from Cheng Hao, he invested $100,000 and recruited some students from the school, and the shares were divided again.
Now he holds 55 percent, Galton holds 35 percent, and the others hold 10 percent.
At the same time, their company has already made a profit.
They developed a small "system" for game consoles, which allowed multiple games to be stored in one console. At the same time, they also made the original arcade game "Snake".
They could produce game consoles themselves, but that would be time-consuming and labor-intensive. They would also need to purchase a lot of copyrights or patents, and in the end they might not make much money. So after weighing the pros and cons, Lin Yuxun decided to sell their research to Nintendo.
Nintendo's game consoles have been selling extremely well in recent years, and they have been generous with their spending. Their research ultimately earned them $200,000.
Once upon a time, when Cheng Hao told Lin Yuxun that he could make money by studying hard, Lin Yuxun was a little skeptical, but now, he no longer had any doubts!
He has earned more money than his previous self could ever earn in his entire life.
Now, Lin Yuxun has invested all the profits into the company. They decided to rent an office space and then research game software or other software.
Just this year, a company produced a home computer.
If they could make games that could be played on home computers, they could definitely make a lot of money!
Of course, they don’t have to just make games, they can also make other things, such as drawing software, text editing software, etc.
Lin Yuxun is full of expectations for the future.
He is even more looking forward to the coming Christmas.
Cheng Hao is coming back...
Also, after Christmas, Danny will be able to have surgery.
After Cheng Hao became a professional boxer, Lin Yuxun took Danny away from Old George and found a special school for Danny to attend.
He wanted Danny to adapt to school life in advance. Once Danny had a cochlear implant and could hear sounds, he could go to a normal school and learn painting.
Lin Yuxun held a meeting in his apartment and talked about the company's development and planning for the next year. During the meeting, Galton, who was called in as a major shareholder, was playing games.
After the meeting was over and everyone else had left, Galton finally realized, "The meeting is over?"
"Yes." Lin Yuxun asked, "Do you have any opinions?"
"I have no objection..." Galton said, "By the way, can you think of a more interesting game?"
"This will take time." Lin Yuxun was a little speechless.
Hearing this, Galton felt a little disappointed. However, after the disappointment subsided, he looked at Lin Yuxun with admiration and said, "Lin Yuxun, you are really amazing. You actually built this company and made money. My brother thought you had cheated me of my money before..."
Lin Yuxun: "..." Galton really said whatever he wanted. If his brother knew, he would definitely be very upset.
Galton took the game console and left, playing it as he walked, while Lin Yuxun went into the inner room of the apartment.
Danny slept here and was already fast asleep.
The next day, after Lin Yuxun got up, he heated up two sandwiches, ate one for himself and gave one to Danny, and then drove Danny to the special school.
As for himself, after sending Danny off, he went back to school.
He is now a sophomore, and his sophomore courses don't require much of his time, but he is busier than his freshman year.
He likes being busy like this and he wants to succeed.
While Lin Yuxun was studying seriously, Danny entered the special school with his small schoolbag. He sat down, took out paper and a paintbrush, and started drawing.
Students in special schools basically have defects, so the teachers' requirements for them are very relaxed, and they can do their own things most of the time.
Danny knows a lot of words and can communicate with others. He is also very quiet, which makes him very popular with the teacher. Basically, he can do anything and the teacher doesn't care about him.
Of course, you still have to listen during class.
However, the teacher likes Danny very much, but the students may not.
Danny was drawing when suddenly a fat boy walked up to him, picked up a paintbrush and scribbled on his drawing.
Danny looked up and looked at the fat boy in shock.
The little fat boy smiled at Danny, and even reached out and grabbed Danny's hair and pulled it...
Danny stood up suddenly and walked towards the boy with black hair and blue eyes who was only seven or eight years old and sitting at the back of the class.
The man was the son of the school's director. His father had established this special school because he was born deaf and dumb.
He is considered the smallest in the class, but he is definitely the one that no one dares to mess with.
However, he usually doesn't bully others, and of course he doesn't care if others bully him - because the tuition at this school is not low, bullying is rare, and in fact, there is no need for anyone to intervene. The reason why the little fat boy dared to bully Danny at this moment was mainly because it was still early and the teacher had not arrived yet.
Danny looked silently at the child who was several years younger than him.
The boy also looked at Danny silently.
At this moment, Danny opened his schoolbag and took out a game console...
The boy's eyes lit up immediately and he stared at the game console.
Danny gave the game console to the boy, then sat next to the boy and took out paper and paintbrush to continue drawing.
The boy glared at the fat boy who bullied Danny and immediately started playing the game.
He had known about this game console for a long time, but it was hard to buy, and his father didn't like seeing him playing games all the time, so he didn't have this game console.
Now, he finally has a video game console to play!
The boy had a lot of fun and tacitly allowed Danny to stay with him. When the other children in the class saw this, they looked at each other and dared not bully Danny anymore.
Now, Danny can paint in peace.
Danny drew Cheng Hao and Claude boxing.
He missed Cheng Hao a little, very, very much.
The little boy put down the game console after finishing it and saw Danny's drawing. He looked at Danny in surprise - this guy's drawing was of a fight, right?
He looks like a doll, very well-behaved, but I didn't expect that his schoolbag not only contained a game console, but also drawings of fighting!
As the bully in the class, his eyes sparkled when he looked at Danny.
At this time, Cheng Hao and Old George also took Claude and Bob on the train.
They would be on the train for several hours… Cheng Hao looked at Old George: “Old George, give me the prize you got last night to play with!”
