Dana Bai watched Xiao Yong's popularity rise step by step, and his heart became even more entangled.
In the final analysis, although the UFC has a greater reputation and a higher competitive level, for many fighters, making money is the first priority.
Dana Bai didn't know what Xiao Yong was thinking.
Judging from the current situation, Xiao Yong can definitely get a very generous contract extension from ONE.
If UFC doesn't show enough sincerity, how can it impress Xiao Yong?
Dana White watched the video of Xiao Yong's fight and murmured: "PPV share? Free challenge rights? How to give it?"
It was obvious that he was already thinking about giving these things to Xiao Yong, but he still had to think carefully about how to give them.
On the other hand, major mainstream media have reported on Xiao Yong's behavior.
Although fighting is wrong, it depends on the reason.
Huaxia Newspaper commented: "If you don't even dare to safeguard the dignity of your own country, how can you talk about the national blood?"
This time, Xiao Yong's reputation increased even more.
And although Xiao Yong's gold belt was taken away.
But no matter from a practical point of view or theoretically, he won the gold belt.
It’s just that this time is relatively short!
Therefore, he is still the first male player in China to hold more ONE gold belts.
In Guan Huashan's office, Hoya faced him face to face. At this time, Hoya was smiling: "Mr. Guan, our team feels that Xiao Yong's opponent in the next game can be arranged to be Li Shenglong. The sooner the better."
Guan Huashan looked at De La Hoya and did not answer the question, but smiled and said: "Mr. De Hoya, do you have any ideas about Xiao Yong's next contract? I think Xiao Yong's current contract is not worthy of his worth.
, we can change him to a contract with a higher share and a higher basic appearance fee, what do you think?"
From Guan Huashan's perspective, he couldn't tell what Xiao Yong was thinking.
It had been a long time since he last proposed a contract to Xiao Yong, but Xiao Yong had no intention of agreeing.
So he simply started with De La Hoya.
Hoya sneered in his heart and offered to raise his salary?
The share is higher, and the basic appearance fee is also higher. So what do you need to pay here?
Definitely the contract number is more!
De La Hoya shook his head and said: "Guan, the contract has not expired yet. We don't need to talk about this matter now. The main problem now is Xiao Yong's opponent in the next game."
Obviously, the thoughts of both parties are not on the same channel.
Guan Huashan fell into deep thought.
He has realized that Xiao Yong most likely does not intend to renew his contract, or in other words, has the intention to leave ONE.
This is a very simple logic. If Xiao Yong really wants to stay in ONE, then there will be no loss for Xiao Yong by renewing the contract in advance. At least everyone can negotiate.
But at present, neither Xiao Yong nor De La Hoya seems to be interested in talking about this matter.
In other words, the other party has plans to leave.
From Guan Huashan's perspective, this is unacceptable to him!
Now, Xiao Yong is ONE's cash cow. Every match he plays will bring massive exposure and income to ONE.
This is unmatched by other players.
Although in Guan Huashan's eyes, Xiao Yong is an out-and-out thorn in the side and often gets into trouble, the money Xiao Yong makes is really great.
"I will consider it!" Guan Huashan did not agree to De La Hoya's request for a match.
He must try his best to renew his contract with Xiao Yong in advance!
Then the only thing he can negotiate with Xiao Yong, apart from money and salary conditions, is the contract for these two games.
After hearing what he said, Hoya narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not say more. Instead, he stood up and said with a smile: "Then I'll leave!"
After saying that, Hoya left directly.
After leaving, De La Hoya was not idle. First, he posted an update through his Twitter.
"Li Shenglong, the challenger of twelve consecutive victories, our team has decided to give you a chance to challenge! I think you should be very interested in having a duel between undefeated kings with Xiao Yong, right?"
"First Evolution"
As Xiao Yong's agent, and as a well-known international De La Hoya, there is no doubt about the authenticity of the news he released!
Hoya is not a fool, and he also knows Guan Huashan's intentions.
It was nothing more than wanting Xiao Yong to renew his contract in advance, but this was something he and Xiao Yong would never agree to.
So when Guan Huashan discussed this issue with him, he chose to avoid talking and delayed.
But Guan Huashan's performance is also worth pondering.
He did not immediately agree to organize the competition.
De La Hoya saw that this guy probably wanted to use the game contract in his hand as a bargaining chip!
How to make this chip?
Simply put, it delays the game!
Two games can drag on for a long enough time, and it may even drag on for two years! Or even longer.
This is what Hoya and Xiao Yong absolutely don’t want to see!
In fact, for Xiao Yong, there are not many opponents worth fighting in the current ONE lightweight division.
The most challenging person is Li Shenglong. Xiao Yong only needs to complete the remaining two games before he can negotiate a contract with the UFC.
De La Hoya’s method is very simple, wouldn’t you agree?
Then I will put external pressure on you through Li Shenglong!
You must know that among the current lightweights, Li Shenglong is the boxer most eager to challenge for the championship. Because Shinya Aoki has been scrapped and Ruan Martin gave up the lightweight category, he has become the only player ranked behind Xiao Yong in the lightweight category.
At the same time, Li Shenglong's record is that he has won all 12 matches in his career. In this state, the accumulated self-confidence, desire to move forward, and desire for the championship are all extremely strong!
Sure enough, not long after De La Hoya posted the message, Li Shenglong jumped out and responded: "Great! I'm ready, I'm going to finish this game if I can't accept it! @广华山"
Guan Huashan did not respond, but not long after, Li Shenglong's agent called directly.
Speaking of which, Li Shenglong, a player, also has his own uniqueness. Like Guan Huashan, he is a Singaporean.
Although Guan Huashan founded the ONE competition, he also has to consider the impact in New Canada.
Now, Li Shenglong is the first challenger, and Xiao Yong has named him to beat Li Shenglong.
Both of them expressed their willingness to compete, and the boxing fans in New Canada definitely hope to see Li Shenglong challenge for the championship.
At this time, if he refuses!
What method will he use?
Arrange another game for Li Shenglong?
Then wouldn't he be scolded to death?
"Damn Hoya!" Guan Huashan yelled angrily in the office!
He really underestimated the old white man from this beautiful country. He didn't expect this guy to have a calm face and move away with his backhand as a pressing move!
This game is very popular in Singapore!
As the headquarters of ONE, it is impossible for him to not care at all about the sentiments of the people here!
"Damn it, I should have known better that I shouldn't have deprived that guy of his championship belt!" Guan Huashan regretted a little.
If the championship belt is still there, then he can completely follow the rules and let Li Shenglong compete in a championship challenge match.
Let’s challenge Xiao Yong later.
In this case, there is no problem if a game drags on for a year!
During this period, you can take your time to talk and spend time with Xiao Yong’s team!
But now that the championship is vacant, how does he arrange the right to challenge for the championship?
Players can only be arranged to fight for the belt with Xiao Yong!
"Asshole Jason Luoyin, it's all your fault!" Guan Huashan couldn't help but express his anger at Jason Luoyin again.
But now both boxers are putting pressure on him, and he still has to bear the pressure from the people in New Canada.
He previously gave Xiao Yong the right to challenge for the championship, but in fact many people in New Zealand were dissatisfied.
Because Li Shenglong was ranked higher at the time and had a better record, but he never got the right to challenge for the championship.
Instead, Xiao Yong, who was ranked fifth, got the opportunity to compete for the championship challenge.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is undoubtedly unfair. If Xiao Yong agrees to fight Li Shenglong this time, and he disagrees, then the New Canadian boxing fans will definitely not do it.
Without any choice!
Guan Huashan is officially announced!
The match between Li Shenglong and Xiao Yong will be held in three months!
At the same time, he also made a decision. After this game, he must renew his contract with Xiao Yong!
If you can't...you'll have to use some coercion.
When the game was officially announced, Xiao Yong and De La Hoya breathed a sigh of relief.
As for De La Hoya, he also did another thing, which was to find the media to expose the news that Xiao Yong rejected the Nike endorsement offer!
"Xiao Yong refused a 100 million yuan endorsement just because Nike insulted China!"
"Making a fuss out of a molehill? No, this is the national spirit!"
"The sales volume of the brand Yan Luo endorsed by Xiao Yong has reached a new high!"
"The domestic sporting goods market has huge potential, and Xiao Yong's net worth has skyrocketed!"
Some of these news were written by Hoya, and some were the result of natural fermentation after the news was exposed.
But there is no doubt that everyone knows about this.
In De La Hoya's view, exposing this offer is still very helpful to Xiao Yong.
The first is to redefine his worth.
Nike's quotation is actually somewhat exaggerated. Part of their money is optimistic about Xiao Yong's future, so they offer such a generous contract. This is why De La Hoya hopes Xiao Yong signs this endorsement contract.
But once this quotation comes out, it will be a reminder to other companies that want to find Xiao Yong as an endorsement.
It’s just a quotation standard, it can’t be too low!
At the same time, it also attracted a wave of fans to Xiao Yong.
From the perspective of a businessman, Hoya also gradually understood Chinese culture. In his opinion, Xiao Yong was able to reach this point not only because of his own strength, but also because of his maintenance of China when he was away.
Is it Chinese culture, Chinese fighting, or the country itself? Faced with those who looked down upon and insulted him, Xiao Yong gave a powerful counterattack every time.
So Xiao Yong's rejection of Nike is undoubtedly a kind of counterattack.
As he expected, this matter came to light.
Netizens’ evaluation of Xiao Yong has even increased!
"Well done! Xiao Yong is really awesome at this!"
"Haha, someone in China has re-endorsed Hook. The Internet really has no memory, right?"
"This comparison shows the difference between high and low."
"I don't know if I can't eat or what."
“I feel like domestic brands are doing pretty well now, so there’s no need to buy hooks, right?”
"We worship foreign countries and favor foreigners."
Faced with the comments from netizens, Xiao Yong also stood up. He posted a Weibo: "As for endorsing brands or purchasing brands, I personally think there is no need to criticize too much. Since the country still allows its brands to be sold domestically,
So whether it is a purchase or an endorsement, it is not a sin! After all, everyone still has to eat and live. If you buy a pair of shoes and clothes that you like and think are more cost-effective, there is no need to criticize them too much. My behavior is just
On my own behalf! In addition, I still recommend everyone to buy more Yama series."
In fact, Xiao Yong also knows that there are actually many users of Hook in China.
Because the product itself is indeed commendable.
Now that he is rich and famous, he can naturally refuse the endorsement money without caring about it. What about ordinary people?
Product performance issues must be considered!
And if there is no external competitive pressure at all, the development and quality of domestic products is still unknown!
He does not want to cause opposition and antagonism among the domestic people.
Xiao Yong's speech is still effective.
Although some people still dislike those who use foreign brands, at least they are not as angry anymore.
At Xiao Yong's house, Huo Ya, Bai Yiyi, Tang Xiuyi, Zheng Tiequan, Yang Lele and Xiao Yong were sitting at the dining table together!
During this time, Yang Lele also started to learn how to cook. Although she doesn't know much, she can still cook it according to the recipes and it tastes good.
Without Han Jiayi, she would have to cook. When both of them were busy, they would spend most of their time eating out, but when Xiao Yong came home, he would still eat at home.
After all, Xiao Yong is becoming more and more famous now, and more and more people know him.
Going out to eat is sometimes really awkward.
Moreover, as Yang Lele is Teng Longjue’s nominal boss, the media cannot discover that she is Xiao Yong’s girlfriend.
So cooking at home is inevitable.
However, Yang Lele did not resist. When she was not busy, she cooked some dishes for Xiao Yong. The two of them were at home, warm and sweet, which was quite nice.
Gradually, I cooked more dishes, and this time I entertained guests at home.
It was the first time that Tang Xiuyi and Bai Yiyi met Yang Lele, although Xiao Yong always said that he had a girlfriend.
But they have never met.
Seeing Yang Lele, both girls felt amazed.
You know, Yang Lele has a good foundation. She is very beautiful and has a good figure. During this period, she also took the nourishing and nourishing pills given by Xiao Yong, and her skin was incredibly fair and supple.
The temperament is even better.
Even though both of them are girls, even though they are used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the entertainment industry, they both felt amazing after meeting Yang Lele.
"Lele, do you really have no plans to enter the entertainment industry? With your appearance and figure, you will definitely attract a lot of fans!" Bai Yiyi couldn't help but ask.
Yang Lele glanced at Xiao Yong and said with a smile: "In our family, it's enough to have one person from the entertainment industry. I'd better take care of him. Otherwise, both of us will be busy and won't see each other a few times a year. We need money to do it."
Well?"
Xiao Yong smiled and said, "I'm actually very grateful to Lele. She always takes good care of me and allows me to train and film with peace of mind. She is indispensable for my success."
While talking, Xiao Yong looked at Yang Lele, and Yang Lele also looked at him, completely ignoring the people around him and looking at each other affectionately.
Seeing the sweet look of the two of them, Tang Xiuyi couldn't help but think.
If she also had a boyfriend like Xiao Yong, could she give up her career in the entertainment industry?
The answer is no, she prefers the sense of accomplishment after the acting is broadcast.
Everyone is different.
Whether it’s ideas or values.
Just like Yang Lele, she doesn't realize that work is something very important.
In her opinion, being with Xiao Yong is far more important than work. If Xiao Yong asks her to take care of the game, she will try her best to do it well, but this is just because Xiao Yong wants to do it well.
Tang Xiuyi looked at Yang Lele and asked a somewhat embarrassing question: "Lele, aren't you afraid that Xiao Yong will change his mind in the future! Women still have to have their own careers."
Although this problem is embarrassing, it is a common worry on the lips of many women.
Yang Lele smiled slightly and said: "Everyone has different ideas. I think Xiao Yong loves me and I love him too. We should be together well. If I don't trust him, why should I be with him?"
Her answer left Tang Xiuyi speechless.
She wasn't sure for a moment whether the girl in front of her was stupid or smart.
If you meet a scumbag, will you be cheated to death?
But at the same time, looking at Xiao Yong's state, he was tied up tightly.
Actually, this is the difference in thinking.
In other words, if two people fall in love, and the man treats the girl as a bus or a money worshiper from the beginning, and then they are intrigues with each other, then is this love?
The same principle is true. If a girl suspects that a man is a scumbag every day, and suspects that a man may cheat or change his mind, then it will be very tiring for both girls and boys.
Yang Lele is the kind of girl who loves love. What she wants is to exchange sincerity for sincerity.
As for breaking up, she actually thought about it secretly, but her idea was very simple. Breaking up... she wouldn't starve to death...
Yang Lele looked at Tang Xiuyi and Bai Yiyi and said with a smile: "You two are coming to Kyoto to participate in the show this time. Why don't you live at home together? This will be more convenient and save some money."
Because the house is large, there are four bedrooms.
But Xiao Yong and Yang Lele only used one. Tang Xiuyi and Bai Yiyi came to participate in the show with Xiao Yong.
Since the recording was about to start, the two of them came to Kyoto together.
Xiao Yong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't make blind suggestions. The company will reimburse them for their food and lodging when they come out this time! If they don't spend it, don't spend it! What are you keeping the company money for?"
Bai Yiyi: "..."
She said angrily: "We will live in your house and keep the company money!"
Xiao Yong was greatly confused: "Are you trying to issue invoices to get subsidies? Aren't you the second generation of rich people? You should look down on this little money, right?"
"I just like Lele, don't I?"
"Okay, okay, whatever you want."
If someone wants to stay, it’s hard for Xiao Yong to refuse...
At worst, there should be less noise at night?
In fact, Yang Lele also had her own thoughts when leaving the two of them behind.
Yang Lele is a person with a lively personality. She originally had many friends in school, but after coming to Kyoto, she has no friends. Seeing that Tang Xiuyi and they are relatively similar in age, she still hopes to make two friends.
