The online war between China and Korea did not last long.
Due to the ferocity of the Chinese netizens' attacks, the number of participants was beyond imagination. FLOO's website was overwhelmed and had to block IPs from China.
Many Korean netizens were unwilling to give up and went to the Waves blog to make a fuss. However, they could not do anything.
On the 31st, Lu Chen received Li Zhecheng's letter of challenge at the Shilla Hotel.
The Taekwondo master had sent his disciple, Pu Yong Joon, to deliver the letter of challenge. Accompanying him was a reporter from Korea's MBC TV station.
MBC was the second largest TV station in Korea, and Li Zhecheng's intentions were clear.
The letter of challenge was written in Chinese, and it was written with a brush. The calligraphy was quite good, and the strokes were vigorous and flamboyant, just like Li Zhecheng himself. There was an unconcealable sharpness to it.
In the letter of challenge, Li Zhecheng said that he would wait for Lu Chen at the Wucheng Dojo, and the time would be decided by Lu Chen!
Under the two cameras, Lu Chen calmly read the letter of challenge, then said to Li Zhecheng's disciple, Pu Yong Joon, "Then let's set it for the morning after tomorrow. I'll be there at 9 o 'clock on the 2nd!"
On the 2nd?
Pu Yong Joon was stunned.
Li Zhecheng's challenge was a very serious matter, and it had caused a lot of commotion. Such a challenge should be treated with great importance. No matter what, it should take a few days to prepare, right?
Lu Chen's attitude was too calm, as if he was not preparing for an important duel, but simply having a meal.
Pu Yong Joon's expression became a little strange as he thought about it.
Lu Chen asked, "Mr. Park, is there a problem?"
Pu Yong Joon came back to his senses and looked deeply at Lu Chen. He shook his head and said, "No problem …"
The time and place would be decided by Lu Chen. This was promised by Li Zhecheng himself, so of course, he could not make the decision on his own.
However, he could not help but add, "Mr. Lu, do you really not need to prepare?"
Pu Yong Joon's Chinese was pretty good, and his pronunciation was perfect. That was why Li Zhecheng sent him to represent Lu Chen and deliver the letter of challenge.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I think one day of preparation time is enough."
Pu Yong Jun couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. If it weren't for the TV reporters following him and the reputation of his mentor, he would definitely teach Lu Chen a lesson first.
He had seen arrogant people, but he had never seen someone this arrogant!
Pu Yong Jun didn't think that Lu Chen was Li Zhecheng's opponent. In his eyes, Lu Chen was a guy who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He was destined to be stepped on by his master.
"Alright!"
He clenched his teeth and said, "My master has another suggestion, and he wants to ask for your opinion."
Lu Chen said, "Go ahead."
Pu Yong Jun calmed down and said, "My master hopes that MBC TV station will broadcast this match live. MBC TV station is willing to pay 1.5 billion won as the winner's reward!"
He hoped to see a shocked look on Lu Chen's face. He believed that it would definitely be beyond Lu Chen's expectation.
The key was not the 1.5 billion won reward, but the live broadcast.
If it was just a duel behind closed doors, the outcome would naturally not have a big impact. But a live broadcast was a completely different matter, and it would put a lot of pressure on both sides.
Li Zhecheng was a two-time Olympic gold medalist. A live broadcast was not pressure for him, but motivation. It was the opposite for Lu Chen.
Of course, Lu Chen could refuse, but it would mean that he would lose in momentum and confidence.
A duel between masters was not only a competition of strength and speed, but also psychological quality. Li Zhecheng's proposal to broadcast the duel was an open and aboveboard scheme. Lu Chen could only choose to agree or refuse.
Regardless of whether he agreed or refused, it would be exactly what Li Zhecheng wanted!
The duel between the two sides had actually started when this Taekwondo master issued the challenge on FLOO. Today, sending a letter of challenge was equivalent to directly making a move.
Pu Yong Jun was very clear about his master's intentions, so he was full of admiration.
He looked at Lu Chen with a subtle hint of mockery in his eyes.
However, Pu Yong Jun was soon disappointed. This was because Lu Chen was not the least bit surprised or embarrassed after listening to him. On the contrary, it was as if he had expected it.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "That's fine. But since you have invited MBC TV station to do a live broadcast, we also need to invite domestic TV stations to participate in the live broadcast. Of course, we will also pay the corresponding fees."
He knew that Li Zhecheng's proposal to broadcast the duel live was not only to put pressure on him, but also to expand his influence — what could be better than a live broadcast on a TV station?
But how could Lu Chen not be willing?
Since he wanted to play, he might as well play big!
Pu Yong Jun was taken aback again, and immediately said, "That's fair and reasonable. I don't think there's a problem."
The smile on Lu Chen's face grew wider: "That's good, but isn't 1.5 billion won too little? I think our domestic TV stations are willing to pay at least 30 million yuan for the live broadcast rights. "
1.5 billion won was equivalent to less than 10 million yuan. As a live broadcast of a duel, it was a lot, but Lu Chen really didn't think much of it.
Beijing Television or Zhedong Satellite TV were absolutely willing to pay three or four times the price to win the live broadcast rights.
Because he was Lu Chen, and he was worth this price!
Lu Chen's teasing smile made Pu Yong Jun's face burn, and even the faces of several people from MBC TV station next to him were embarrassed.
Pu Yong Jun actually knew the truth. MBC didn't pay 1.5 billion for this live broadcast at all. Most of it was paid by Li Zhecheng himself in order to increase his influence.
Anyway, he could win it back.
As a result, he was ridiculed by Lu Chen. Yes, in Pu Yong Jun's view, Lu Chen's words were naked ridicule!
30 million yuan, that's equivalent to 5 billion won!
Pu Yong Jun didn't doubt that Lu Chen was talking nonsense, because Chinese people were really rich now. Many South Korean stars and artists went to China to shoot films and TV shows, and the money they earned was more than ten times or even dozens of times more than in China.
With Lu Chen's popularity and influence in China, it was normal for rich big TV stations to be willing to pay for him.
But where did Lu Chen get so much confidence?
But at this time, Pu Yong Jun couldn't back down. He braced himself and said, "Can you postpone the time of the competition for another two days? I think there are a lot of companies willing to sponsor. "
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Then let's change it to January 5th."
Looking at his confident smile, Pu Yong Jun suddenly felt that things had deviated from their predetermined track!
