Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

After spending a good night in Jun Ji-hyun's apartment, Link got up early to exercise as usual the next day, went to the hospital to visit Hopkins, went to KBS TV station to do celebrity interviews, and participated in exchange activities and cocktail parties held by the organizer and the Korean Boxing Association.

When he was busy until the afternoon, he drove to a Korean barbecue restaurant in Apgujeong, Gangnam District, to accept Girls' Generation's banquet.

"An Ningha thiyo! Link Oppa!"

When he came to the store, nine members of Girls' Generation stood in a row outside the box, all bent down to say hello to him, their voices uniform, clear and tactful, like waiters in a high-end club.

"Peace and peace!"

Link smiled softly, bowed politely, and said hello to the nine people.

In addition to the nine people, there was also a fat middle-aged man in a suit standing in the aisle. Kim Taeyeon introduced him as Kim Young-min, the vice president of SM Company. She heard that he was eating here and came over to say hello.

Link shook hands with the other party and said excuse me.

President Jin greeted him politely, congratulated him on his victory in the boxing match, said nothing more, and left politely after saying a few words.

call!

When President Kim left, several members of Girls' Generation breathed a sigh of relief and their expressions became lively.

"Are you afraid of President Jin?"

Link asked looking at Taeyeon and others.

"Yes, President Jin is very serious and good at scolding people. Everyone in the company is afraid of him."

Yoona quickly rushed over, stood on his left side and said.

"President Jin looks very gentle today. It must be because Oppa Link is too powerful. He is worried that he will get beaten for being too serious, so he is smiling all over his face."

Lee Soon Kyu squeezed to Taeyeon and stared at him.

"Link Oppa, you are so powerful, you can knock people away with one punch."

Jin Xiaoyuan shook his fist and smiled.

The remaining few were also chirping, praising him for his boxing skills and saying that he sang the best. Some people held posters and asked for his autograph.

When a group of women talk together, they can really make a noise.

"stop!"

Taeyeon clapped her palms and said, "Stop talking, spread out, and invite Oppa Link in first."

"Oppa, please come in!"

Several Girls' Generation members quickly moved out of the way and extended their hands to invite him into the private room.

Link smiled softly and pulled Taeyeon into the private room. The others followed and poured in. Nine girls plus him, a big boy, just filled the long table.

Girls’ Generation members were all born in 1989, 1990, and 1991. They are around 20 years old this year, so they are the same age as everyone else.

After sitting down, everyone talked about music and tasted the roast beef in this store. Lin Yoona asked him to sign autographs and take photos with him, as if he was holding a fan meeting.

Link didn't refuse, and met all their requests. He took more than ten photos with one look, and in the end the ten of them even took a group photo.

"Link Oppa, Xiaoxian wants to ask you a question, is that okay?"

Lin Yoona hugged Xu Xian's shoulders and shouted.

"what is the problem?"

"No, I didn't."

Xu Xian blushed and shook his head repeatedly.

"Yooner, stop teasing Xiaoxian."

Kim Taeyeon said.

"I didn't tease her. Xiaoxian just said that Link Oppa is the same age as us. Why is he so powerful? Xiaoxian wants to learn from Link Oppa."

Lin Yuner smiled.

"You are also very good. I can also hear your songs in the United States. The song "Jijijijijibaby" is very nice."

"Link Oppa, do you also listen to our songs?"

Lee Soon Kyu asked in surprise.

"Of course, as long as it is a good song, I will listen to it in any language."

"Yes, I heard that Oppa can speak more than ten languages, which is amazing."

"Link Oppa must be Superman."

Lin Yuner and others looked at him with admiration.

Link smiled and said not that much, he could only speak eight languages.

But everyone still thinks it’s awesome.

During the meal, Kim Taeyeon rarely spoke, she just sat next to him with red cheeks and kept piling barbecue and other dishes on his plate.

She wouldn't object if Link held her hand under the table, but her cheeks only turned redder.

After finishing the meal, Link said goodbye and left.

After a while, he returned to the villa in Itaewon, Gangnam District. He took a shower and changed into loose clothes. Hearing a whistle from outside the villa, Link opened the craft iron door in front of the villa from the surveillance camera, and a yellow car appeared. The mini BMW drove to the villa.

Link walked to the doorstep and saw Taeyeon getting out of the car with red cheeks. Different from wearing a T-shirt and jeans before, she changed into a black suspender skirt and high heels. Her figure looked taller and her skin was white and delicate. .

"Taeyeon, welcome to my home."

Link smiled.

When they were just eating, Link asked her if she wanted to go for a walk together. Taeyeon was worried about being gossiped by other sisters and asked him to leave first and come back to him later.

Link told her the location of the villa and asked her to drive there directly.

"Oppa, is this your home?"

Taeyeon looked around and asked in surprise.

"Yes, I bought it last year and have only lived in it a few times. The lawn and green belt have not been trimmed for a long time. Are they a little messy?"

"No, it's beautiful, very beautiful."

Kim Taeyeon looked at the beautiful lawns, lush green belts, and secure walls in the villa. These were secondary.

The key is that this villa looks very beautiful, with two and a half floors, white marble walls, black gabled roof, and large floor-to-ceiling windows. It looks very modern and artistic.

This villa is located in Itaewon, a wealthy area in the wealthy area of ​​Seoul with the highest land price. The villa covers an area of ​​more than 400 pyeong and is priced at tens of billions of won.

Taeyeon dreams of living in such a villa, but she has just debuted for more than three years and has not yet saved enough money to buy a villa.

"Let's go, go in and take a look."

Link pulled the girl's hand and walked into the villa. At first, Taeyeon's body was a little stiff, but after a while, she gradually relaxed and began to visit the decoration of the villa and kept praising it.

Finally, she saw a Steinway piano placed at the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor and excitedly asked him if she could play it.

Link asked her to be casual and treat this place as her own home.

Taeyeon sat down happily in front of the piano and played her new song "The Boys" first. This song was the work of the famous American musician Teddy Riley, who had produced songs for MJ and Usher.

After she finished playing a song, Link clapped his hands.

Taeyeon blushed and looked at him, then played his new song "That Girl".

Link smiled gently, sat down, and played a song with her.

When Taeyeon saw him sitting down, her cheeks turned even redder, and she played several wrong tunes in succession.

Just seeing that Link played very attentively, she gradually calmed down and played with him, and was surprised to find that his piano playing skills were very high, with professional standards, so amazing.

Seeing that the girl's cheeks were red and crystal clear, very cute, Link turned his head and kissed her while playing the piano, then sat up and continued to play, from "that girl" to "All of me".

Taeyeon turned her head and blinked at him, and saw that he was playing the piano seriously, and continued to play with a red face.

After a while, Link turned his head and kissed him again.

Taeyeon turned her head to look at him, absent-mindedly pressing the keys, and when Link turned his head again, she suddenly turned her head and her lips touched his.

Link lowered his head and kissed her, holding the girl's neck with one hand and continuing to play on the piano with the other hand. Taeyeon blushed and kissed him, but her technique was too awkward. She was panting and her cheeks were red after more than ten seconds.

——

After the game, Link stayed in Seoul for five days. In addition to post-game publicity and promotion, he also shot two commercials.

In the remaining time, he would sometimes go to Cheongdam-dong to accompany Jeon Ji-hyun to discuss script investment. After the two had an intimate relationship, Link's attitude towards her was naturally different.

In addition to adding 5 million US dollars to J\u0026B's account, he also helped her select several good scripts from the perspective of the international film market.

Sometimes he would date Taeyeon in the Itaewon villa and let her take care of the villa. This is also the place where the two will date in the future.

After Taeyeon got the key, she kissed him happily. After the two had an intimate relationship, the girl became more clingy.

After spending a good five days in Korea, Link flew back to the United States.

On the way back, the statistics of the boxing match had been released and published in the newspapers. The ratings of this championship match set new highs in South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong Island and other places.

1.64 million PPVs were sold in North America, which was higher than the last PPV with Clinton Woods. More than 1.8 million copies were sold in Europe and Oceania, and the total PPV sales in the world were close to 4 million copies.

Although the PPV prices in different regions are different, the total PPV revenue has reached 145 million US dollars, which is higher than the 136 million US dollars created by De La Hoya vs. Mayweather in May 2007, and higher than the 125 million that Link and De La Hoya made in Las Vegas last year. It ranks first on the latest list published by "Ring" magazine.

His total income for this game is 85 million US dollars, which is the number after the share with Dynasty Promotion. The opponent Hopkins and Golden Boy Promotions have an income of about 32 million US dollars, which is not a wasted trip.

"Hmph!"

In the business class, Link was reading a newspaper when a heavy hum came from the next door, which was filled with deep grief and resentment.

Link glanced at the seat next to him. It was Hopkins who returned to the United States with him. The guy could still make a 'hum' sound even with gauze wrapped around his nose, which meant that his injury was not serious.

"How is your injury? Why don't you stay in the hospital for a few more days?"

Link asked.

"Link, don't be so proud. I will definitely KO you in the next match."

Hopkins bulged his arm muscles and stared at him indignantly.

"I don't think you can do it, but you dare to provoke me after being beaten like this by me. You have a good mentality."

Link praised.

"I don't need you to praise me, Link. I was accidentally fooled by you a few days ago, so I was injured by you. I will never be injured in the next match."

Hopkins said.

Link shook his head, "You don't believe this, right? No matter the punch weight, speed, technique, tactics, mentality, you can't compare to me in any way. In the end, you didn't get the upper hand even with the foul technique. You have no way to deal with me. You will lose even more miserably if you come again."

Hopkins gnashed his teeth in anger. Although Link's words were very harsh, he had to admit that what the bastard said was right. He would not be his opponent if he came again.

This feeling of wanting revenge but being powerless almost drove him crazy.

What made him even more crazy was that during the days when he was hospitalized for treatment, Link ate meat and drank outside, hugged left and right.

There were also many scandals between Link and Korean actresses in the Korean media, such as Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye-kyo, Son Ye-jin, and Girls' Generation, all of whom were top Korean stars and girl groups.

Comparing the two sides, Hopkins was not only injured in the face by Link, but also suffered more psychological damage.

"Link, even if you are very good in the light heavyweight class, I don't think you can continue to win after you move up to the heavyweight class. One day in the future, you will be beaten badly. Haha, I look forward to that day coming soon. If there is such a day, I will definitely fly to your bedside and see your miserable condition in person."

Hopkins grinned.

"Thank you! But there will never be such a day."

Link shrugged and continued to read the newspaper.

After returning to the United States, Link first went to New York and took out the bonuses he earned and more than 30 million advertising endorsement fees, a total of 120 million US dollars, to return to the bank.

His debt in the bank also changed from 320 million to 200 million US dollars, and he felt a little relieved.
