Chapter 655: Tempo

"In our China, it is very solemn to teach others specialized skills. If we follow our traditional habits, we must first go through a process of apprenticeship. That is to say, you must first become his student before you have Qualified to study with him."
Tan Zhenhua said to Mike Tyson solemnly.
Mike Tyson responded without even thinking about it: "It's not easy. He taught me knowledge. I call him a teacher. This is what it should be." After all, he opened his mouth to call Lin Shuangxi a teacher, but he was caught by Tan Zhenhua. He grabbed his arm and shook his head like a rattle. "No, no, Mike, don't worry, you haven't understood what I mean."
"What else?"
Tan Zhenhua said with a serious face: "In our China, learning special skills from others is to call others "masters". This is slightly different from the concept of teachers, and this is a very important and serious matter. Habits are different. We have an old saying: "Be a teacher for one day, and be a father for life." "In other words, once you recognize someone as a "master", you must respect him all your life, listen to him without violating your conscience and morality, and act according to his teachings, and,"
Speaking of this, Tan Zhenhua emphasized his tone and said: "After he recognizes a person as a master, and then wants to learn similar skills from others, that is, to recognize others as a "master", then the original master's approval must be obtained, otherwise If you do, you may be treated as a traitor, and for traitors, I think the standards around the world are the same."
"Ah...so complicated."
Mike Tyson was a little dumbfounded. He shook his huge head and thought for a long time before saying in frustration: "Then it seems that I cannot worship your companion as a "master", because according to your standards, I already have a "master". "That's the Mr. Kus D'Amato I just mentioned. Although I call him a "coach", I think it should mean the same thing."
"This way, it seems to be a little difficult..." Tan Zhenhua said with difficulty holding his chin, and the face of Tyson opposite him was already full of disappointment.
Feeling that the heat is about to come, Tan Zhenhua suddenly smiled as if he had solved a huge problem: "Tyson, it's actually not impossible, if you really want to learn martial arts from my companion."
Tyson's eyes lit up again, and he asked hopefully, "Sir, what can I do?"
"I just said that in our Huaxia, one person is not allowed to worship two or more masters. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, these masters all agree with this apprentice to do so-so I can convince My companion, and you need to convince your coach, if they all agree, then it will do."
"Then can your companion agree?" Tyson asked quickly.
"I'll try." Tan Zhenhua deliberately didn't agree to Tyson immediately. Instead, he casually chatted with Lin Shuangxi in Chinese that he did not understand. Then he turned to Tyson and said, "Mike, you are very lucky. The companion agreed, so now, we only need to solve the last problem."
Mike Tyson bit his thick lip tightly, as if he had made up his mind, and then said: "Tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon I will go to coach Kus D'Amato to explain all this, I hope Can obtain his understanding."
"What if he disagrees?" Tan Zhenhua's question seemed full of concern.
"...I haven't thought about this, but Coach D'Amato has always been very good to me. I think he would not object to it?" Having said that, everyone can hear the words. uncertain.
Tan Zhenhua thought for a while before saying: "That's it, Tyson, what time do you go to the training gym tomorrow?"
"I leave home on time at 2 o'clock in the afternoon every day and arrive at the training hall at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The place where I practice is very close to here, just in front of Church Street. The name is called Church Street Boxing Gym."
"Well, tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, I will go to the Chapel Street Boxing Gym with my companions. While watching your training, I will also meet with your current master, Mr. Kus D'Amato. Maybe we will be good Friend, Tyson, do you think so?"
Mike Tyson nodded and said, "Okay sir, although Cous D'Amato is very strict sometimes, he is indeed a good person. You should get along very well."
Tan Zhenhua smiled and stood up and said: "Then Mr. Tyson, we are determined, we will be here today. This is the 20 dollars I promised. You can take the car home."
Mike Tyson awkwardly took the 20 dollars handed by Tan Zhenhua and said, "Thank you, sir. I once again apologize for my behavior just now, and, sir, can I know your name?"
"Of course, dear Mike, we are friends from now on, right? My name is Eric Tan."
...
"Zhenhua, why are you so good to that black boy? He obviously wants to rob us? This kind of beats him up and it's over. Why are you still taking him to dinner and asking me to accept him as an apprentice? Give him 20 dollars before leaving?"
On the way back to the hotel, Lin Shuangxi asked Tan Zhenhua incomprehensibly, and the latter smiled mysteriously: "Brother Shuangxi, in fact, that man is not bad, it's just a little stupid. Li really didn't have any money to come up with that trick, I just look at him poorly."
He didn't even believe the ghost when he said this, but Lin Shuangxi kept in mind Xie Li's entrustment. Since Tan Zhenhua didn't want to tell the truth, he was up to him. And Tan Zhenhua is so heartbroken: "After tomorrow, you might be able to bring Mike Tyson, the former world boxing champion, into his subordinates and become a hitman who is called by himself. , Tusk, it's so beautiful."
He thought beautifully, he couldn't help leaving a half-foot-long Harazi at the corner of his mouth, but he heard Lin Shuangxi ask: "You let me accept that stupid boy as an apprentice, and I agreed, but what do you do next? We are in New York I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for a few days? If I can't be a master, I will throw this kid in New York and let him fend for himself?"
Tan Zhenhua hurriedly replied: "That's not okay. When we turn back from New York, we have to pick up the man and let him follow you for a few days of study. This kid will still be useful for me in the future... By the way, you too Don’t call him a silly boy, after all, is it your apprentice? He has a name, Mike Tyson."
"Mike Tyson, well, I never dreamed that my first apprentice was a foreigner or a black man." Lin Shuangxi twitched his lips helplessly and said: "What's the matter... By the way, Zhenhua, after I promised to accept Tyson as an apprentice, what did you say to him?"
"Oh that, I have an appointment with him. I will meet with his current coach at the nearby Church Street Boxing Stadium at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and talk about your acceptance of Tyson as an apprentice."
"Uh... Zhenhua, you really know how to choose a place to meet and rob someone else's apprentice in the boxing gym of someone else's house. You have to choose the rhythm of things!"
"Damn!"
Tan Zhenhua patted the back of his head. This is why the wise man must have lost his mind. He has forgotten that there is still this one!
He took a peek at Lin Shuangxi and asked cautiously, "Uh, um, Brother Shuangxi, can you fight it if you want to fight?"
