Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

After discussing with Liu Qiangdong, Link used the property under his name as a mortgage and borrowed 5 million yuan from the bank. Together with some of the funds on hand, he came up with 1 million US dollars.

He also arranged for a lawyer to register a venture capital company called "Golden Shell" in Hong Kong Island, injecting one million US dollars, and using the name of Golden Shell Investment Company to cooperate with Jingdong e-commerce company.

After completing the investment, Jin Beike also became the second largest shareholder of JD.com, holding 30% of the shares.

In the future, he will also provide financial support for JD.com's development. If his investment cannot keep up with JD.com's development needs, these shares will gradually be diluted as financing increases.

To do this Link needs to make more money.

Lin Ke was also invited by Liu Qiangdong to serve as vice president of JD.com, making suggestions for the company's development and supervising the company's operations.

At his suggestion, Jingdong Multimedia Network was renamed Jingdong Mall.

On the one hand, it ensures the quality of online store products, increases the quality of online store services, pays more attention to after-sales guarantees than before, and competes differentiatedly with platforms such as Taobao and eBay. On the other hand, it increases the product types of online stores, starting from only selling 3C products, namely computers, Communication equipment, VCD and other electronic products have gradually expanded to all categories, becoming a veritable electronic shopping mall.

These suggestions are the result of many discussions between him and Liu Qiangdong.

When he invested in companies such as Amazon and JD.com in his previous life, he conducted detailed investigations and understanding of the development of several companies instead of making random investments.

He made these suggestions only after learning about JD.com’s current development situation.

After hearing his suggestions, Liu Qiangdong kept nodding, saying that these suggestions coincided with many of his ideas, but he could not summarize them yet.

After hearing his suggestion, Liu Qiangdong said he felt a sense of enlightenment and would be more confident when carrying out work related to JD Mall in the future.

Looking at Lao Liu with a sincere attitude in front of him, Link remembered the meeting in the Minnesota Detention Center in his previous life. Lao Liu was plotted against and imprisoned.

In order to escape guilt, the other party took the initiative to call him as a shareholder and ask for his help.

Link agreed.

But affected by that incident, JD's market value was also affected to some extent.

Now Link is in China and has few connections in the United States.

If something like that happens to Lao Liu again, he probably won't be able to help, so to be on the safe side, he will remind Lao Liu more during future cooperation not to be dazzled by beauty.

"Link, do you have any other suggestions? Just tell me, I don't have many good qualities, but there is one thing I can advise you to do."

In the office, Lao Liu said with a serious expression while holding a notebook.

Link smiled softly, took a sip of tea and asked, "Brother Qiangdong will be thirty this year. Are you married? How old is your child?"

"Uh~, not yet, but I have a girlfriend and we are planning to get married this year."

Lao Liu talked about his girlfriend, Ms. Gong. She was also a student at Renmin University. He met and fell in love during college. She was also his biggest helper in founding JD.com. There is also the name "JD.com", one comes from Miss Gong and the other comes from Lao Liu. .

The two have been in love for more than eight years and are planning to get married at the end of this year and invite Link to the wedding.

Link did not refuse, saying that this was good. Only when a man gets married first and then starts a career can he ensure stability at home. Most unmarried men lack a sense of responsibility and are prone to making mistakes that all men make, which further affects their careers.

Lao Liu agreed.

——

After talking about work with Lao Liu and having a meal, Link drove away.

Now he is a senior executive of JD.com, not only involved in investment, but also in the management and operation of the company.

It’s just that he is busy training and competing every day, and will not have much time to devote to JD.com in the future, so he needs to arrange an agent to be placed on JD.com.

It is best for this person to be someone with whom the relationship is relatively close.

He considered Zhang Zilin.

She is also a student majoring in management, but she was busy participating in sports training and modeling competitions during high school and college. Her professional performance was average, and she had little experience or talent in management.

He also considered the people he knew around him, and after much thought, there was no suitable candidate.

This couldn't help but make him miss the days when Eva was by his side.

With Evaca's help, every time after making an investment, you only need to hand over the company to her management, and you don't have to worry too much about other things.

This also gives him more time to flourish in other areas.

But now the people around him don't have Ivaca's knowledge and means, and they can't give him much help in his career.

He can only dig out some useful people from the talent market and train them, hoping that they can become his career assistant in the future.

After finishing his work on JD.com, Link's main focus is still on training. He gets up early every day to run, practice boxing, and practice throwing shot put and javelin, so that his muscles can form inertia and can explode to the maximum extent during competitions.

On July 20, the Chinese Athens Olympic delegation was announced in Kyoto.

There are 633 people in this Olympic delegation, including 407 athletes and 226 officials and coaches.

At the Olympic Games, athletes will represent the country in 26 major events and 203 minor events among the 28 Olympic events.

This is also the largest participation in the history of the Chinese Olympic delegation. Director Yuan serves as the delegation leader, followed by six deputy leaders, secretarial team, medical team, translation team, etc.

The oldest athlete in this Olympics is Wang Yifu, the legendary shooter of the shooting team, who is 44 years old this year, and the youngest is swimmer Zhang Tianyi, who is 14 years old.

The athlete who participated in the most events was undoubtedly Link.

Link also wore the red and white Olympic athlete uniform that day and attended the press conference at the Beijing Sports Center. He also answered questions from Chinese and foreign reporters on behalf of the boxing team.

After the press conference, Link and the Huaxia Sports delegation flew to the Republic of Greece at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula on August 8 to participate in the Olympic Games held in Athens from August 13 to 29.

Athens is the birthplace of the Olympic Games and the venue for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.

Since the 1980s, the Greek government has begun to apply for the Olympic Games, hoping to hold it in Athens on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Olympic Games in 1996, but due to economic and security factors, Athens failed to successfully apply.

It was not until the third application in 1994 that it was qualified to host the Olympic Games for the second time.

This Olympic Games also came to Athens again after 108 years, so the slogan of this Olympic Games is ‘Welcome Home’.

Because of its extraordinary significance, this Olympic Games is also unprecedented.

A total of 11,099 athletes from 202 countries and regions participated in 28 major events and 301 minor events. The media also called it the largest reunion of the Olympic family.

"The buildings here are so beautiful."

After getting off the bus, Tian Liang took up his camera and took several photos of the Parthenon on the hillside in the distance.

"It is very beautiful, but the hygiene is a bit poor. It is easy to step on dog shit if you are not careful."

Wang Hao from the table tennis team rubbed the sole of his shoe and said.

"Did you really step on dog shit? Haha, in our hometown, stepping on dog shit is a good sign, dog shit luck."

Tian Liang grinned and took a photo of Wang Hao with his camera.

"Don't make trouble! Come, take a photo of me and Link. Link is a big star now. You need to queue up to take photos with him in the future."

Wang Hao came to Link and made a scissors hand gesture to the camera.

"Link, I heard that you are good at English. We are going to go shopping in the afternoon. Can you help translate?"

Du Li from the shooting team asked Link wearing a sun hat.

"What time in the afternoon, if you have nothing to do."

"Four or five o'clock, how about going out after seeing the competition venue?"

"Okay, call me when the time comes!"

Link thought for a while and said.

"Du Li, Wang Hao, Yi Jianlian and I are all good at English, why don't you look for us? Hey, do you have any idea about Link?"

Tian Liang smiled meanly.

Wang Hao and Yi Jianlian standing beside him quietly stepped back and distanced themselves from him.

Du Li glanced at Tian Liang coldly, shook her ponytail and left.

"Liangzi, you are a hero."

Wang Hao said with a thumbs up.

"It's amazing that you dare to make such a joke with the world shooting champion, and you are not afraid of being shot in the head."

Yi Jianlian laughed.

Swish! Tian Liang's forehead was covered with sweat at a speed visible to the naked eye. The corners of his mouth twitched, "It shouldn't be, I'm kidding."

"Liangzi, we're not afraid. If Du Li shoots at us, we can do a 720 turn and jump into the water so that she can't hit us."

Tian Liang's 10-meter board teammate Yang Jinghui said while hugging his shoulders.

"Go away, don't talk nonsense."

Tian Liang pushed him away and said.

Link smiled lightly and walked and talked with his teammates to visit the ancient buildings in Athens.

But before he finished his walk, several coaches sent people to find him and asked him not to walk around outside for too long. The security environment in Athens is average, and there are thieves, robbers and terrorists. If he is unlucky and gets injured by one of them, it will be bad.

Now he is the top seed in four events of the national team. If he gets injured at this time, the training for more than a year will be in vain.

Several coaches suggested that he come out to hang out after the Olympics.

Link could only follow the advice of the coaching team and return to the hotel to rest.

After strolling for half a day, the other athletes were also restrained by the coaches to prevent accidents.

On August 11, Athens held the opening ceremony two days in advance. Link and more than 400 athletes of the Huaxia Sports Team wore team uniforms and walked from the backstage to the front to greet the cheers of the audience.

The competition of this Olympic Games officially started on the 13th. Link had a 69kg boxing preliminaries on that day. 16 boxers from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe, America and Oceania participated in this round of competition.

Two-on-two fights to determine the top eight.

The top eight continued to fight two-on-two to determine the top four. The top four entered the quarterfinals, then the semifinals and the finals.

The boxing preliminaries were held at the Kaleskaki Sports Center. Link's opponent in the first round was the Azerbaijani boxer Hailov.

Hailov is 181 cm tall, 28 years old, with 89 amateur matches and 82 wins. He has won the top three in the World Boxing Championships and the European Youth Boxing Championships. He is quite strong.

The opponent's boxing quality is similar to that of Beirut Shumenov, Link's opponent in the WBA Light Heavyweight World Boxing Championship.

He has superb skills, strong willpower, and his skills are more like the Soviet boxing style.

Compared with Link, the opponent has obvious flaws. He moves slowly, his fists are weak, and his game experience and tactics are much worse than Link's.

After the game started, Link took the initiative to attack, using heavy punches and fast punches to break the opponent's defense and destroy the opponent's defense line.

In the first 50 seconds of the first round, Hailov was able to neutralize his punches with his flexible dodge and good defensive skills. After 50 seconds, the opponent's arms could not withstand his punches and began to defend improperly.

At 62 seconds in the first round, Link used a swift right jab to break through the opponent's double-fist defense and punched the opponent on the forehead.

The opponent was caught off guard and fell to the ground for the first time.

After the opponent stood up, Link continued to use heavy punches to hit the opponent. At 112 seconds, he hit the opponent's front accurately with a heavy punch, causing the opponent to fall to the ground again. He staggered to his feet after the referee counted down 7 seconds.

There was a warm cheer at the scene.
