Chapter 1: Stormy Chapter 3 Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao (Part 1)
"Who did I offend?" Xu Jingming asked.
Fang Xinglong looked at Xu Jingming and said a name: "Cheng Zihao."
Xu Jingming understood everything in his heart and asked calmly, "Brother, did he come to see you?"
"Yeah." Fang Xinglong nodded.
Xu Jingming nodded and said, "I have a conflict with him."
"You are a professional martial arts player. You were selected for the provincial team in high school and later joined the national team. You have been in the professional martial arts circle for so many years. How could you have a conflict with Cheng Zihao?" Fang Xinglong couldn't understand. The two sides were not in the same circle at all.
Xu Jingming smiled and said, "Life is full of infinite possibilities."
"Stop smiling so frivolously." Fang Xinglong was a little anxious and worried, "Is there no way to resolve the conflict between you and him?"
"It can't be resolved." Xu Jingming shook his head.
Fang Xinglong put out the cigarette in his hand and looked at his junior brother: "Jingming, that's Cheng Zihao! If you offend him, you will be banned on the Internet!"
"I know, the Cheng family!" Xu Jingming said with emotion, "The Cheng family controls the Tiger Shark Group, a company with a market value of more than 5 trillion, and a giant group ranked in the top three in the Internet industry. It is indeed terrifying."
The Cheng family ranks in the top ten of the Xia country's rich list, with a family wealth of more than 500 billion. Xia country's current No. 1 live broadcast platform 'Tiger Shark' was founded by Cheng family legend 'Cheng Yunxiu' more than 60 years ago. For more than 60 years, Tiger Shark Group has never declined, but has become stronger. Today, with Tiger Shark platform as the core, Tiger Shark Group has become an Internet giant group that radiates e-commerce, music, games and other industries. The market value of Tiger Shark Group exceeds 5 trillion. As the founding family, the Cheng family also has 8.2% of the shares, and the voting rights have always exceeded 50%, firmly grasping the control of Tiger Shark Group.
For thirty years, Tiger Shark Group was completely controlled by its founder Cheng Yunxiu. After his death, his only son Cheng Liwei has been in charge ever since.
Cheng Zihao is Cheng Liwei's son, 32 years old this year.
"On the Internet, Tiger Shark Group is one of the top three giant groups. It is even ranked first in live streaming platform. You are a martial arts player, you have no idea how terrifying its influence is." Fang Xinglong looked at his junior brother, feeling a little anxious.
"Of course I know." Xu Jingming smiled, "Once banned, there will be no commercial activities, no promotion on the Internet, and the fame will disappear quickly."
For martial arts athletes, fame is very important.
The greater the fame, the higher the income.
In terms of martial arts competition results, although Xu Jingming is quite strong, he can only be considered a third-tier player among the top martial arts players in the history of Xia Country! Only legendary masters like Master Liu Hai can be considered first-tier players. After all, at the age of over 40, he has been in the top three for five consecutive competitions and has even won the world's first place.
There are three first-line players, each of them is a legend. Their appearance fees for a peak showdown are over 100 million, and their cumulative income during their careers is even more terrifying.
The top players in history, the second-tier players, are those who have been in the top three in the world, or those who retired after struggling to be the world's number one. They are often mentioned by people, and their appearance fees for the peak showdown are generally over 10 million.
Xu Jingming made it to the World Martial Arts Competition twice, once in the top 16 and once in the top 8. His highest appearance fee was only 1.5 million, and his highest single income was the top 8 bonus of the World Martial Arts Competition. After so many years of hard work, his total income is only tens of millions, and his strength and status can be seen from his income.
In terms of performance, Xiaguo's history players are ranked third. In terms of fame? If they are banned online, their fame will disappear quickly.
"Martial arts fighters also have to eat. Sometimes, if you take a step back, you will have a bright future." Fang Xinglong advised.
"Brother." Xu Jingming said seriously, "You know, there are some things that you can't back down from."
Fang Xinglong was startled, nodded slightly, and said worriedly: "It's not a big deal to just ban you, I'm just afraid that Cheng Zihao will cause trouble for you next time."
Xu Jingming smiled and said, "At most, I can go back to my hometown, Mingyue City. In Mingyue City, my Baji Sect and Chuojiao Sect have thousands of disciples. I'll see how he can cause trouble for me. Besides, in this modern society, there are surveillance cameras everywhere. What can he do?"
"Then what are you going to do when you return to Mingyue City?" Fang Xinglong asked.
"I can open a martial arts school and do some high-end private training to make a living." Xu Jingming said, "I am a gun master after all. I make a living by my skills. I can make a living anywhere."
Fang Xinglong shook his head slightly: "In a second-tier city like Mingyue City, it would be good if you could earn one million a year with hard work."
"I have earned a lot of money over the years, and I have received a lot of interest and dividends." Xu Jingming said, "Brother, don't worry about me."
Xu Jingming and Cheng Zihao were ready to fall out.
Just earn less.
Influenced by his father since childhood, he became a disciple of the two major traditional martial arts schools in Mingyue City, Baji School and Chuojiao School. Since the World Martial Arts Competition became the world's largest fighting event, domestic traditional martial arts schools have once again shined, and various weapon fighting skills have been excavated.
In modern society , people don’t care how many sects a disciple belongs to.
Xu Jingming's father was a martial arts blogger when he was young. He traveled around the world and visited various fighting schools around the world. He joined more than ten martial arts schools in China and learned the true teachings of Baji. After settling in Mingyue City, he also founded Baji School in Mingyue City. In modern society, there are many martial arts schools all over the country, and there are hundreds of Baji schools with orderly inheritance in the country.
Xu Jingming is the successor of Mingyue Baji Sect and the disciple of the master of Mingyue Chuojiao Sect! He can earn a living by opening a martial arts school, recruiting disciples, and doing high-end private teaching.
"Perhaps, returning to my hometown and concentrating on practicing shooting is more suitable for me. If I can reach a higher level, I can come back and challenge for the world's number one." Xu Jingming thought.
He never gave up his dream of becoming the world's number one. His master Liu Hai, who was in his forties, made it to the World Martial Arts Competition for five consecutive times and finally won the world's number one.
I am only 29 this year, how can I give up?
If he wins the world's first place, the prize money will be 500 million, and the whole world will pay attention to him. The official media will publicize it everywhere, and Cheng Zihao can't suppress it.
As for now? As a retired professional player, I have not achieved enough success, so there is nothing I can do about being banned.
"Senior Brother, what did Cheng Zihao talk to you about?" Xu Jingming looked at Fang Xinglong.
"Cheng Zihao sent someone to tell me to fire you." Fang Xinglong said ashamedly, "Jingming, you know, I sell wine, and some of my sales channels are Tiger Shark Group's live broadcast platform and e-commerce platform, and a lot of publicity also has to go through Tiger Shark Group. Although I feel very aggrieved, I can't afford to offend Cheng Zihao. After all, the company is not mine alone."
"Brother, I know your difficulties." Xu Jingming nodded.
I make a living by my skills. With my marksmanship ranked in the top ten in the world for nearly 30 years, I am not afraid of not having food to eat. It's just a matter of eating more or less.
But senior brother Fang Xinglong is a businessman, and the wine company is the foundation of his career. He is even more restricted in front of the Tiger Shark Group.
"I will leave after the provincial team training is over," said Xu Jingming.
Fang Xinglong was a little tired: "Can you tell me, Senior Brother, what exactly is the conflict between you and Cheng Zihao?"
"I don't want to say it." Xu Jingming shook his head, "I can only say that he is a lunatic!"
"madman?"
Fang Xinglong nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I won't say much, I'm sorry for you this time."
"It's none of my business, but I've caused trouble for him." Xu Jingming knew Fang Xinglong very well. He was generous, sincere, and his character was beyond doubt. Otherwise, he would not have accepted his invitation to become the owner of this fighting gym.
"Brother, I have to go have dinner with Team Leader Liu, so I'll leave first. We can talk on the phone if you have anything." Xu Jingming said with a smile and left.
Fang Xinglong stood where he was and watched Xu Jingming leave.
"Cheng Zihao."
Fang Xinglong whispered softly. He had made billions in his early forties when he started his business career. He was also very proud. He loved martial arts and weapon fighting. For his hobby, he spent a lot of money to build the Star Space Fighting Hall. But this time, Cheng Zihao sent a message that he had to dismiss his junior brother. How could he not hold his breath?
"I can't afford to offend you." Fang Xinglong whispered silently, holding his breath. He bowed his head when he should. He knew this very well after years in the business world. However, with his current status, such frustrating things have become rare.
"Cheng Zihao, you don't follow the rules and you always play dirty. One day you will fall." Fang Xinglong said secretly.
Fang Xinglong was also thinking about how to help his junior fellow apprentice.
He had no more than ten friends that he recognized, and Xu Jingming was one of them. Naturally, he didn't want to see his junior fellow student suffer such a big loss.
…
It was dim at night, and Xu Jingming pushed open the door of a townhouse in the eastern suburbs of Binhai City.
In the bedroom, a slim woman in pajamas was half lying, leaning against the backrest, wearing a pair of relatively large glasses and holding a handle in each hand.
"Jingming, wait until I finish this game." The eyes of the woman in pajamas were bright. She wore virtual glasses that could be divided into immersive mode and reality mode.
Reality mode makes part of the game scene transparent so that you can see the outside world.
"Miao Miao, you need to exercise more. Lying down like this all the time is not good for your health." Xu Jingming said.
"Okay, I got it." The woman in pajamas responded casually, her hands moving constantly.
Xu Jingming was quite helpless.
The woman in pajamas is his girlfriend Li Miaomiao.
