About ten minutes later, when Li Mochen left the Storm Stadium under the protection of many security guards and police officers, he was once again surrounded by many reporters.
He was used to this scene and didn't bother to respond. Until someone asked, "Student Wildenstein, I would like to ask you a question. Bruder Carroll had lost to James Lance 15: 0 in the previous Spring Individual Competition, and the whole process had only taken two minutes. But today, Student Carroll was able to fight with you in the arena for half an hour. May I ask Student Wildenstein, do you think Bruder Carroll's ability has already surpassed Lance's? "
The voice was so loud that it drowned out the noisy questions from the reporters. Li Mochen couldn't help but look at this person. He realized that this person's microphone indeed had the logo of the Georgia Sports Television Station. So he immediately stopped. "No, Student Carroll should have improved a lot, but his ability is still inferior to James. I mean when Lance didn't use banned drugs."
This reporter from the Georgia Sports Television Station was puzzled. "But Student Wildenstein, you used a whole half an hour to defeat Student Carroll today?"
"That's because I had to."
Li Mochen's tone was very calm. "Because of the pressure from all sides, I had to try to extend the competition time as much as possible. In addition, I also had to take care of the audience who bought tickets, especially the supporters who came for me. I couldn't let them leave with a disappointed mood. So I conducted a one-sided teaching battle today. I think if the audience can observe carefully, they should be able to learn some defensive swordsmanship skills from me. "
These words caused an uproar among all the reporters present. They were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
"Student Wildenstein, can you explain in detail? Where did the pressure come from? "
"André, may I ask if the pressure came from the NHSAA competition committee? Or the current advertisers? Or the Atlanta cable television station in charge of the broadcast? "
"Are you sure you're conducting a teaching battle? But many people saw that you didn't have the upper hand in the arena. Today's defeat of Bruder Carroll is more likely due to carelessness — "
"We have insider information that Louise Linden has withdrawn from the competition. That is to say, you are now the champion of Atlanta High School's individual competition. What are your thoughts?"
"Louise Linden was your classmate, right? May I ask if there are any personal reasons for her withdrawal? "
However, Li Mochen was not interested in answering. With the help of many security guards, he forced his way through the crowd and boarded his car, 'Otto I'. He had to go to the nearby Gerrard Hotel as soon as possible to sign a contract with Edward Jewelry Company. He had no time to deal with these reporters.
Moreover, he would probably be very busy in the following period of time.
Elite Navigator would help him settle the endorsement deals with Norfolk Motors, Elizabeth Cosmetics, and Titanium Star Communications within a week. The estimated value of the contracts would be 75 million gold duns a year.
The main source of this income came from Elizabeth, the world's top cosmetics brand.
It was puzzling that a women's cosmetics brand would take a fancy to a fighting sports star like him. However, there were precedents. So far, Elizabeth Cosmetics was not the only company that wanted to recruit Li Mochen. They were all interested in Li Mochen's temperament and appearance, as well as his great influence among women.
However, Elizabeth Cosmetics offered the highest and most sincere price. They had already offered 32 million duns a year. However, Edward Jeffries was not satisfied. He planned to ask for an exorbitant price and get a contract worth more than 45 million gold duns a year from this company.
If he could really do it, then Li Mochen's monthly income would be as high as 147 million gold duns.
But then, a very headache-inducing problem arose. The end of January next year was the tax filing season. Li Mochen had to spend more than half of the money in the short span of two to three months, in the name of investment and charity to avoid taxes. Otherwise, 40% of the money would be turned over to the national treasury.
For this reason, Li Mochen also planned to find a reliable accounting firm to help him deal with this problem.
The Big Four accounting firms in America were famous and should be the best choice. However, Li Mochen still had a lot of personal matters to deal with, and a lot of illegal income, so he did not plan to consider them.
"My suggestion is to buy a large manor in the north of Atlanta. There are two places for sale there, and you can get it for 30 to 50 million gold duns. "
In the Otto I armored off-road vehicle, Carl suggested, "A mansion in the north of the city. This can be considered as an entrance ticket to the upper class."
When Li Mochen heard this, he immediately felt a sense of restlessness in his heart. This came from the original owner of the body. Entering the upper class of America was one of the original owner's obsessions.
But Li Mochen did not care at all. In his opinion, personal strength, wealth, and influence were the most important. One day, when he stood at the top of the pyramid in America, the so-called upper class in Atlanta would have to live under his nose. At that time, would he care whether others recognized him or not?
Moreover, he lived very comfortably in the Unicorn Apartment, and did not need to spend a penny of his own money. Nathan Sports Group had recently bought him a fully functional stadium, which was in the process of upgrading. The cost was estimated to be less than 10 million gold.
- but if he bought the estate himself, he would have to bear the expenses himself.
"There's no need for a mansion. It's not like there are no places to live now. I'm very interested in the Bert Building."
As Li Mochen spoke, he looked at a document in his hand. It was a list of assets provided by the Linden Auction House. Most of the information came from Antonio, and about one-third of the assets came from other lawsuits.
The Linden family's auction house was one of the long-term partners of the North and East Districts Courts in Atlanta. They held judicial auctions every Wednesday.
Originally, Antonio's properties should not have entered the judicial auction so soon. It would have taken at least a month to go through all the procedures, and then a period of publicity.
But in Atlanta, many people coveted Antonio's properties and could not wait to take them over. For this reason, the Eastern District Court took special measures for special cases. In the name of 'obtaining money to appease the victims as soon as possible', they completed all the procedures in just a week. Most of Antonio's properties appeared on the list of judicial auctions, and their evaluation prices were also very low.
Li Mochen himself had also contributed to this. He wanted to buy Craig Community Bank, 34 Anfark Street, and other assets. Of course, he could not do nothing.
But after getting this list of assets, Li Mochen found a new goal.
