Chapter 192 The Temptation That Can't Be Refused

"Mike, don't be angry and let's have a good chat. The business is not about friendship." The one-eyed Jack hooked Li Guolou's shoulders, preventing Li Guolou from sitting on the seat, and dragged Li Guolou to a table by force. There is no one around the round table.

"Mike, I admire you so much!" A beautiful public relations manager sat on the right side of Li Guolou, and another handsome public relations manager invited Yelia to sit next to the one-eyed Jack. side.

The handsome public relations manager began to pour tea and water for them, and told Li Guolou with her charming eyes that she was very interested in Li Guolou.

One-eyed Jack handed Li Guolou a Cuban cigar, and said: "Mike, Yelia, you are all my good friends. When did I treat you badly, the benefits are great. From now on, your business will be my business. I will do everything I can to help you."

A set of gorgeous opening remarks made Li Guolou shut up and listen to the speeches of successful people who continued to confuse people's hearts.

One-eyed Jack took a puff of his cigar, exhaled a stream of smoke, and said, "Mike, you have extraordinary talent, that's why you got the love of Mrs. Yelia, but your talent is more than that, you also have a strong aura, Look at this perfect boxing match and you will know how many people support you behind you. Of course, there are more people who oppose you. What's more, your powerful aura will be wasted if you don't use it. This time, the entire Tianjin Concession has become crazy about the two of you. You don't know how many people's fates were changed by a boxing match the day before yesterday. I can reveal a little bit, The person who jumped into the Haihe River, the two of you can't beat it with twenty fingers."

Li Guolou nodded and said, "I know that. Most of them are foreigners. I feel better."

The one-eyed Jack glanced at him and said: "Who told you that there are many foreigners, Mike, you have been deceived. There are many more Qing people, and they all look down on you. Eight out of ten people who jumped into the Haihe River dragged their braids. Float on the water."

Yelia looked at Li Guolou and sneered. This is the best example of whether the Qing people believed in their own people. On the contrary, she, a Frenchman, made a big bet once. In the whole game, her profit was one of the best. .

Li Guolou said embarrassingly: "Oh, Mr. Jack, I have never been out in the French Concession, so I don't know what's going on outside. Please continue."

"Mike, I am optimistic about you. You have a strong appeal. It is not easy for so many people to hate you. This time you vented a fearless spirit on the ring and knocked down the arrogance of the Westerners. It’s capped! So those Westerners who see people as low as dogs hate you even more. Tarzan the Ape is the representative of those who hate you. Now Tarzan the Ape represents the dirty words of the Western powers towards you, and you carry the Eastern Greatness The hope of the revival of the Qing Dynasty, whether you want to be a great person or a humble person, it’s all up to you.” One-eyed Jack said the words above the height of the nation, staring at Li Guolou coldly, wishing he could Two slaps brought out the bloodiness of the Qing people.

Li Guolou touched his cheek, his face became cloudy and uncertain, and he said suspiciously: "Mr. Jack, I am not so great, you think highly of me."

"Yes!" The people next to him said in unison, leaving no room for Li Guolou.

"Mike, I also know your actual difficulties and many concerns. But it's easy to solve. You and I can work together and treat a boxing match as a business. This business can make a lot of money. For you Mike; Li, the public enemy in the eyes of Westerners, coupled with the box office appeal of Tarzan, the duel between the two of you will attract the attention of people all over the world, and the bets will roll in. I want to handle this century. In the decisive battle, Mike must give me this face." One-eyed Jack stared fiercely at Li Guolou with one eye, as if he wanted to eat small fish and shrimps that fell on the deck of the ship.

"This;;;;;;" Li Guolou wanted to refuse the kind invitation of the one-eyed Jack.

"I'll give you [-] francs as an appearance fee, plus a share!" The one-eyed Jack lowered his voice, knocked his fist on the round table, and made a final decision to complete the deal.

"Ah!" Li Guolou and Yelia were stunned. No boxer had ever had such a high appearance fee.

The beautiful public relations manager said seriously: "Mike; Mr. Li, this is a plan specially tailored for you by our iron hook planning company. Please read it carefully. We have calculated it. As long as you are willing to play for more than three rounds , we promise you that no matter whether you win or lose, the minimum guaranteed amount is [-] francs, and it is very likely to exceed [-] francs." Said Wanmei's public relations manager's foot lightly stepped on Li Guolou's foot, and she was extra award.Since Yelia was sitting on the other side, the beautiful public relations manager still kept a proper distance from Li Guolou, and Yelia did not see any flaws.

Li Guolou's heart was overwhelmed, with a strong impulse rushing to his forehead, and he warned himself to be calm. At this time, he must be calm, so as to get more benefits.

Li Guolou held the folder in his hand, his hand was as steady as a mountain without shaking, and he said calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Jack, for looking up to me. I will take this plan back and have a look. I will reply to the beautiful Miss Guan in two days."

One-eyed Jack said with strong dissatisfaction: "Hey! Mike, first sign a letter of intent so that journalists from all over the world don't go to waste. The plan can be revised. We are such a good trio. Listen to elder brother Liu Bei. Mrs. Yelia asks for your opinion."

"Mike, then sign it. Anyway, it's a letter of intent and not subject to legal restrictions. Mr. Jack, are you right?" Yelia held the teacup gracefully without letting the tea splash out.

The one-eyed jack greeted Yelia by touching his chest, and said, "Ms. Yelia, please do me this face and dance with me for the first time later."

"Hmm!" Yelia raised the back of her right hand and kissed the one-eyed Jack. She gave the one-eyed Jack a big face.

The press conference was held immediately, Jack the one-eyed dragon sat in the middle and enjoyed the stars, Li Guolou and Tarzan the ape scolded each other across the air, talking nonsense, which made the reporters hooked.

Tarzan the Ape did not eat dinner, and left the International Hotel sullenly. A group of reporters hesitated. No one wanted to interview Tarzan exclusively, so they all stayed for work dinner.The beautiful public relations manager also gave travel expenses to each reporter, ten French silver coins per person. Jack, the owner of Iron Hook Casino, the one-eyed jack, made the reporters smack, and they clamored to continuously report the century-old boxing battle between Tarzan and Li Guolou in the newspaper.

The initial intention of the century boxing matchup is to be held in August in the summer, which is the best season in Tianjin in the north, and tourists will come to the French Concession one after another.Li Guolou's two boxing masters came out of their disappointment, boasted wildly at the banquet, and insisted that Li Guolou promise not to change their boxing masters.After receiving a clear answer from Li Guolou, the two boxing masters began to drink wine, walking around more than 20 tables and toasting with many people they knew and those they didn't know.

Surrounded by jubilant crowds, they ate and drank happily without any worries.Li Guolou has all kinds of tastes in his heart. When he confronts boxing champion Taishan, he has no hope of winning. He sells his dignity for money and fame. "Striving for glory for the country and snatching foreign girls" ended up in a showdown that was sure to lose.

The people at the table were all relatives of Li Guolou, and Li Guolou said without hesitation: "Don't gamble this time, the level of winning is no more than [-]%, just come and cheer for me."

Yelia said loudly: "We can't lose our reputation, we also have to take practical actions to support Mike, don't you think?"

Xie Xiuzhu said: "The most important thing for Xiaolou is not to lose his appearance. If he loses any more teeth, his life will be lost."

"I know, I know!" Li Guolou drank it with emotion, the red wine tasted so good.

"Hey! Xiaolou's mind is clear now. He is really on the ring, and he is going to faint again." The elder brother Li Guoyun has seen through Li Guolou's thoughts, and he will fight with his back to become famous. Li Guolou will be crazy when he is on the ring, regardless The tough duel.

Friends and relatives all persuaded Li Guolou to take a step back, do what he can, and not engage in unnecessary confrontations.The meaning is that when Li Guolou should fall on the boxing ring, he will fall with the trend. Losing to the French boxing champion Taishan, everyone can afford to lose some money.

Li Guolou nodded frequently and kept it silently in his heart, thanking everyone for their support as always.At this time, he is a normal person who can listen to people's words, remember the earnest teachings, and vowed to fall on the ring as soon as possible, so that the bridge of the nose will not be crooked. The face is a hundred times more serious than the personality. If you win the game, you can rest assured whether you win or lose.Li Guolou watched with a smile as his relatives and friends danced, and clinked glasses with Inspector Vasizuo while drinking red wine indifferently.

Reagan, the manager of Friendship Insurance Company, kept running around, handing out business cards to new friends.Since we are new friends, we must look at the face of the one-eyed Jack and buy a pension insurance plus accident insurance in his hands. A single accident insurance insurance company does not accept this kind of business.

One-eyed Jack was sitting at a nearby table drinking, watching Li Guolou walking around and sneering in his heart, a terrifying conspiracy had already been planned.He will see countless people line the sea, and Li Guolou will become one of his pawns, life and death will be decided by him.One-eyed Jack raised his glass high and toasted Li Guolou, wishing Li Guolou good health and a long life.

Li Guolou's exclusive interview right was sold to French newspaper Pravda. The big reporter Eugene and the photographer Qutav were busy with their work and sat down to eat food.

The photographer Qutav asked, "Eugene, will you play again next time?"

"Gamble! Grandma, how can I not gamble, even if I have only one pair of underpants left, I will gamble once." Eugene resolutely decided, with a wolf-like look in his eyes, he drank all the wine in one gulp, or died In the Qing Dynasty, I did not go back to the motherland.

"Then where are you betting?"

"That goes without saying, of course it is the treasure of our motherland, Tarzan the ape." Eugene said without hesitation.

"Oh—" Kutav started to eat his food, and stopped asking questions.

"What about you?" Eugene asked.

"It's just the opposite of you. You are my opposite. Wherever you bet, I will stay away from failure." Qutav said what was in his heart.

"Huh! I'll let you lose this time, cheers!" Eugene glanced fiercely at Li Guolou. He was a lowly man, and he was lurking beside Li Guolou, just to watch his mortal enemy Li Guolou die sooner.

Li Guolou danced lightly with Yelia in his arms, turning his body in a circle, and the standard court dance moves received bursts of applause.There are smiling faces all around, nodding in praise of Li Guolou's victory and still daring to challenge.All the unfamiliar faces were so kind, and they knew in their hearts that Li Guolou was doomed this time, the chance of winning was zero, and that Tarzan the Ape was an invincible myth in the West.
