Chapter 792: Take the initiative!
…
Seeing this scene, Liu Dong secretly shook his head.
Compared with the super rich who no longer take human life seriously just to vent their negative emotions, Liu Dong still has the moral standards of ordinary people!
Now seeing a living life die in front of him, dying in the ring for the pleasure of these rich people in their free time, I felt a little unworthy of their choice.
Although he earned 10 million US dollars, Liu Dong did not feel much happiness in his heart.
No matter what Liu Dong thought, everything in the fighting arena was still going according to its fixed script! After the black Poker won and stood on the stage cheering for a few minutes, he quickly went to rest. Although he
He won the final victory, but his physical injuries were not light. If he couldn't receive treatment quickly and regain health, I'm afraid he would be the next one to fall in the ring!
At the same time, the staff of the fighting arena cleaned up Halti's body and blood stains on the ring within a limited time!
"All the super rich people present, welcome to the bloodiest, cruelest and most exciting blood fighting arena on the super luxury cruise ship Poseidon! What is about to happen next is our most exciting project today.'
Reese's Challenge'! Anyone here who can beat the 'Resident Wolf' Halifax next to me will win the super grand prize of US$50 million!"
A middle-aged man in a suit and leather jacket stood on the ring and said loudly and passionately.
Standing next to him was a young boxer who was about 1.8 meters tall, with muscles all over his body, and his upper body covered with various scars. He had cold eyes and Indian features in his appearance!
Obviously he is what middle-aged people call the 'Remnant Wolf' Halifax!
"Ares Challenge?"
Ares is the God of War in Greek mythology. Liu Dong knew this, but he didn't know much about this so-called competition event!
Considering that Liu Dong was here for the first time, Steven explained beside him: "The Ares Challenge is a free challenge organized by the fighting ring. The participants are usually black boxers in the fighting ring and rich people.
Our bodyguard! If you win one game, you can get 50 million U.S. dollars. If you win two games in a row, you can get 100 million U.S. dollars. If you win three games in a row, you can get 200 million U.S. dollars. If you win four games in a row, you can get 400 million U.S. dollars.
U.S. dollars, if we can win even the fifth game, our funds will double again, to 800 million!"
"$800 million!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong had forgotten his previous aversion to murderous competitions, and the huge bonus made him a little excited!
After all, Liu Dong is also a common man, and as a Scorpio man, his possessiveness and greed are stronger than ordinary people!
And now Liu Dong is short of money. Even if he borrows 8.5 billion US dollars from the Rockefeller family, he will need to repay the money starting from next year. Although it is only 200 million in the first year, but later
The amount of money that needs to be repaid each year will still increase year by year, which is a lot of pressure for Liu Dong!
If he can earn a lot of US dollars from the ring now, it will definitely be of great help to him, and by then his business and collection empire will be able to develop faster.
The more he thought about Liu Dong, the more excited he became, and with his ability to reach the peak of transformation, he was not afraid of even doubling the challenge, let alone five challenges!
Steven didn't know what Liu Dong was thinking, but still introduced: "...Although the 'Ares Challenge' has generous rewards, more than 80% of people have failed in the first place since its establishment.
In one game, there are no more than 20 people who can pass the second game and get 100 million U.S. dollars since the 'Ares Challenge' was held. As for the ones who can get through the third game and get 200 million U.S. dollars, so far only
one person!"
"Who is this person?" Liu Dong asked curiously.
A guy who can defeat three black market boxing masters in a row is also not easy.
"That man's name is Frank Chen, but he likes to call himself 'Tang Long', and he is your compatriot!" Steven Rockefeller said.
"Frank Chen, Tang Long?" Liu Dong thought for a moment and then shook his head. He had no impression of this name in his mind.
"Frank Chen, people in the fighting world like to call him 'Shark'. Chen's attack is the strongest in the entire twentieth century. In all the games he won, none lasted more than four minutes. His record was 97 against 96.
Win and lose, he is the most powerful devil in the boxing ring!" Rogers Dupont said with somewhat confused eyes.
"By the way, Liu, Frank Chen is as proficient in Chinese Kung Fu as you are!"
After nodding, Liu Dong said: "Where is this person now?"
"Dead!" Matthew Mellon said.
"Dead?" Liu Dong was a little surprised.
"In 1979, Chen was killed by the "bulldozer" Christie Paul using despicable and cowardly means!" Rutgers Dupont gritted his teeth.
Compared to others, Rutgers really likes fighting, rather than just treating fighting as a tool for fun, so he also understands some of the secrets of black market boxing quite clearly.
"Liu, your kung fu is so powerful. If you come on stage now, can you beat that guy named 'Can Lang'?" Clark Ford, who was sitting next to Liu Dong, suddenly said.
His words caused the eyes of Matthew Mellon, Steven and others to focus on Liu Dong almost at the same time.
Judging by the looks in their eyes, everyone except Steven Rockefeller wishes they could go on stage and have a fight!
Of course, if Steven Rockefeller hadn't gotten the key and password from him yet, he would definitely not mind letting himself walk around the fighting ring.
But going up to a few boxing matches to win some money was exactly what Liu Dong originally wanted!
In addition, a timely display of force at this time can intimidate Xiao Xiao to some extent, improve his status in the hearts of these rich fifth and sixth generations, and also make those guys from the Skull and Bones Society think twice before taking action against him.
, can you bear the price of being angry?
This is the only method Liu Dong can use when his economic and political influence is low!
Of course, he would not do this at home, but abroad, Liu Dong does not have so many scruples, because American culture is not about shooting the first bird with a gun, but about flaunting individuality and emphasizing the natural law of the jungle, the stronger the stronger.
The more respect you can get from others.
"Of course it's no problem to beat him, but if I can win five games in a row and win 800 million US dollars, no one will cause trouble for me, right?" Liu Dongyi asked pointedly.
"Haha, don't worry about this. With the five of us here, let alone 800 million or 8 billion US dollars, as long as it's yours, Stillman and those guys in Boston, don't even think about losing a single cent.
!" Matthew Mellon said confidently.
Although the others did not speak, the smiles on their faces also showed their confidence!
Liu Dong naturally believed what they said. After all, the five people sitting in front of him represented the five most powerful families in the United States.
"However, it seems that the people who control this ultra-luxury cruise ship, the Poseidon, are the Stillman family and several families that make up the Boston Consortium!" Liu Dong thought to himself.
Although the Stillman family is not as famous in the world as Morgan and Rockefeller, nor as good as the Mellon family and the DuPont family, their strength cannot be underestimated. Their ancestor James Stillman was once one of the famous Seven Giants on Wall Street.
One, along with Morgan, James Hill, George Baker, John Rockefeller, William Rockefeller, and Jacob Schiff, contributed to the emergence of the Federal Reserve, a monster that controls the American economy, and directly turned the President of the United States into a rubber stamp!
To this day, the Stillman family still controls Citibank, one of the top ten financial groups in the United States. Although the Rockefeller family also has shares in it, the Stillman family still occupies the majority.
As for the Boston Consortium, there is no need to say more. It is one of the oldest consortiums in the United States. Although the several families that make up the consortium are not as good as Morgan, Rockefeller, Mellon and DuPont, and even the Ford family, it lasted for 200 years.
Over the years, their influence has penetrated into every aspect of the United States, and no family will despise them!
Faced with such a huge force, if it were not for the support of Morgan and the Rockefeller family, Liu Dong might not have participated in this boxing match if he did not want to cause trouble. But now that he has five big thick legs in front of him, Liu Dong
If Dong doesn't hug him, he will be a fool!
"I finally got this opportunity. I must scrape as much money as I can from this Poseidon!"
After Liu Dong made up his mind, he met Matthew Mellon and Andrew Morgan's gleaming eyes, nodded and said: "Okay, since you are so supportive, then I will go down and have a fight!"
"Liu, have you really decided? After all, this is no joke! If you really go to the fighting ring, even we can't stop the boxing match!" Steven Rockefeller said quickly.
Of course, what he cares about is not Liu Dong, but the keys and passwords in Liu Dong's hands!
"Don't worry, Steven, since I dare to play, I am sure of winning!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
With his eyes fixed on Liu Dong, after realizing that the other party really would not change his decision, Steven Rockefeller nodded somewhat helplessly and said nothing more!
The more you talk, the more you reveal. Andrew Morgan, Matthew Mellon and others are all cunning guys. There is no guarantee that they will not guess something from the conversation between the two!
