Chapter 448 – Win!

The next morning.

Dawn. The birds are chirping on the branches.

Dong Xuebing woke up before 6 am and started to do stretching and warmup after washing up. He is determined to get Park Yongxi’s 100 million RMB investment. Other than getting the investment for his County, he wants to get back at Da Feng County. He must win this match at all cost.

This is a project worth 100 million! How many years has it been since Yan Tai County has gotten such a large investment?

If it is just an ordinary sports center, it will not be worth so much. A County city cannot be compared to the main city. The price differences between the land parcels are too wide. This project is worth up to 100 million, and it should have a tennis court, bowling alley, golf range, etc. It will be a sports and recreation resort. This is a great political achievement and will create high taxes for the County.

Dong Xuebing got more excited as he thought about it.

After a while, Dong Xuebing felt he is in his best condition and called Park Yongxi’s room.

“Hello.” A deep voice answered.

“Master Park. It’s me.” With the project on the table, Dong Xuebing’s attitude towards Park Yongxi changed. He smiled and asked. “Are you ready? What time can we start?”

“If you are ready, we can start now.”

“Alright. Where is the location?”

“I had made arrangements. It will be at a Taekwondo school.”

Da Feng County, Northern District.

A Camry stopped in front of a Taekwondo school, and Dong Xuebing alighted. He walks towards the school and saw the name. It is a Taekwondo school set up by a Chinese. But the person in charge, or the coach might be Korean, and Park Yongxi has some connections with them. That’s why he can borrow this place for their match. When Dong Xuebing entered the school, he saw Park Yongxi. He had changed into his Taekwondo Dobok and is doing warmup. The other Korean investors and a translator are there. Other than them, the school’s coach and person-in-charge are also present.

“You are here.” Park Yongxi smiles.

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Are Da Feng County’s people not coming?”

Park Yongxi replied. “This is only a friendly match and has got nothing to do with investments. That’s why I did not inform them.

Dong Xuebing was still afraid of negative influences. He is a civil servant, and it’s not good for many people to know he has a match with Park Yongxi.

Dong Xuebing took off his shoes and started to do warmups.

The few Korean investors are discussing softly by the side. If they had not seen what happened at the swimming complex, they would not even talk about Dong Xuebing because they felt Park Yongxi would never lose. But after seeing Dong Xuebing’s moves, they are unsure. Furthermore, Dong Xuebing had singlehandedly brought down Seoul’s Taekwondo schools.

“Who do you think will win?”

“Both stand a chance to win, but I think the possibility of Master Park winning is higher.

“Master Park... must not lose. If he lost, then our Taekwondo reputation will suffer another blow.”

“He should not lose.”

“I think so too. Master Park has been in his best form during his recent international matches.”

At 8 am, both are ready.

Before they started the match, Dong Xuebing made a request. “Let’s have a closed-door match. I am afraid I will get distracted when people are watching.”

Park Yongxi doesn’t mind people watching his match. He is used to thousands of fans cheering for him during his matches. He thought for a while and nodded. He also wants Dong Xuebing to be in his best condition for this match. He turned to Li Xiaoan and the rest to ask them to leave. Li Xiaoan refused as he is afraid Dong Xuebing would cheat and refuse to admit he’s lost. He insisted on being the referee, and the other investors also don’t want to miss this exciting match. But Park Yongxi insisted, and they left unwillingly.

Dong Xuebing has his considerations for this request.

“Can we start?” Park Yongxi stood opposite Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath. “Alright. Please kindly take care of me.”

Park Yongxi moved slowly around Dong Xuebing, looking for his weakness. After one round, he stepped forward suddenly!

Even at this moment, Dong Xuebing is not paying full attention to his opponent and is still thinking about the investment. It’s not because he is looking down on Park Yongxi’s skills. It is because he will not lose!

One minute...

Two minutes...

Three minutes...

Swoosh!

Dong Xuebing punched Park Yongxi’s chin but stopped one cm from his face. The force from the punch blew Park Yongxi’s hair. At the same time, Park Yongxi’s punch to Dong Xuebing’s stomach also stopped. But the distance is around five to six cm. If they continued, Dong Xuebing’s punch would land first, and Park Yongxi’s punch will not touch him.

Dong Xuebing stepped back. “Let’s stop here, as this is a friendly match after all.”

Park Yongxi also withdraws his fist. It was too fast. He could not even see Dong Xuebing’s movements clearly during their exchanges. Most of the time, he got to rely on his instincts. If his eyes cannot even see his movements, how is he going to fight? “You are skillful!”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “It was just luck. Let’s consider this a draw.”

Park Yongxi shook his head. “No. I lost.”

Park Yongxi had tried his best, but he could tell Dong Xuebing had not gone all out. This shocked him, and the saying, ‘there is always someone better’ is true.

“Err... Master Park...”

“I admitted my lost.” Park Yongxi’s expression did not change. “I will invest my integrated sports hall in Yan Tai County.”

That’s what I want to hear. Dong Xuebing is overjoyed. “Our County is nowhere inferior to Da Feng County. I believe that since you are going to invest here, you should have studied about my County. Although our economy is not as good as Da Feng County, we are nearer to Beijing. You are investing millions into this integrated sports hall. You are not targeting the residents of our County and Province, right? You are targeting Beijing’s residents.”

Park Yongxi nodded.

“Our County is less than 2 hours drive from Beijing, and 1.5 hours if the traffic is clear. This investment will have high potential, and the land cost lower. This is the best time to invest, as the infrastructure and other facilities are still not up. If you wait until Beijing starts building 7th Ring Road or 8th Ring Road, the surrounding areas will develop quickly. At that time, you cannot do much with 100 million RMB.” Dong Xuebing knew Park Yongxi would not go back on his words, but he felt the need to tell him all these.

Park Yongxi also knows about this.

Before they made this bet, Park Yongxi had studied and considered Yan Tai County. Even if he lost this match and invest in Yan Tai County, he would only suffer a bit of loss compared to investing in Da Feng County. The losses are within the acceptable range, or else he will not make this bet. One hundred million RMB is not a small amount.

“I know about Yan Tai County. It is also developing well, and I think it has high prospect.” Park Yongxi replied. “But this is not what I am concern about now. Let’s go. This is not a good place to talk. Let’s return to the hotel first. I had learned a lot from this match, and I want to discuss some of your moves with you. Those moves look like Taekwondo moves, and I hope you can share those moves with me.”

Dong Xuebing agreed. “No problem. I also hope you can give me some pointers.”

“Are you poking fun at me? I should be the one learning from you.”

“I am not very good with my moves. You are the Master here, and I should be the one learning from you.”

“You are modest.”

Both chatted as they leave the training hall. The doors opened, and everyone waiting outside turn and look at them.

“Master Park, how is it?”

“Who won?”

Before Park Yongxi replied, Dong Xuebing quickly said. “Park Yongxi had pulled his punches, and I managed to get a draw.”

Draw?

Li Xiaoan’s face changed. How is this possible? Even Master Park could not win him?

The other Korean investors are relieved. Draw... is also not a bad result. Master Park represents Korea’s Taekwondo, and he must not lose.

Park Yongxi frowned and was about to say something. But Dong Xuebing place his arm over his shoulder. “Master Park, let’s go back in my car.”

Both boarded Dong Xuebing’s Camry after leaving the Taekwondo School.

Park Yongxi smiled helplessly. “I am not someone who doesn’t admit defeat. Why did you say it was a draw?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “That was just a friendly match. Is winning and losing so important? Oh, let’s talk about your project.”

Dong Xuebing had agreed to this match because he wants to get investment for Yan Tai County.

As for winning and losing...

So what if he wins?

Dong Xuebing doesn’t mind about winning or losing, but he knows Park Yongxi cannot lose. He might as well do Park Yongxi a favor, and he also doesn’t want him to invest in Yan Tai County with sore feelings. Investments should be from the bottom of the heart, and things might sour in the future if Park Yongxi bears ill feelings. Dong Xuebing is inviting Park Yongxi to invest in Yan Tai County sincerely. Furthermore, he had used STOP during their match, and that is not considered martial arts.

Not to mention Park Yongxi.

With enough STOP time, Dong Xuebing can even win against a tank!

Dong Xuebing’s current strength is not considered human!
