Interviewer: “Mr. Brad, I hear you were quite the force in the boxing ring?”
Richard Brad: “That’s right. Just clinched the championship belt.”
Interviewer: “Impressive! But what made you switch from boxing to acting?”
Richard Brad: [chuckles lightly] “Well… a lot of people kept telling me I had the kind of face that belonged on the big screen. Said it’d be a waste if I didn’t try acting. I gave it some thought, and you know what? They had a point. I mean, when you’ve got a face this high-definition, it’d be a crime not to put it to good use.”
From the boxing ring to Hollywood, from champion fighter to award-winning actor, from a nobody to a tycoon—Richard Brad has always believed in one thing:
Good-looking people are never short on luck.

Chen Yuan, 33, was caught off guard and suddenly lost his job.
He wanted to find a new job, but was rejected one after another because of his "advanced age" of 33.
But he has elderly parents to support, young children to raise, and a wife who is a housewife. Raising children, rent, car loans, daily expenses... all of these require money.
What should he do?!
He worked more than ten hours a day, and this is how he ended up?
Isn't it said that hard work pays off?
On the night he lost his job, Chen Yuan couldn't fall asleep, but a mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind:
[The Freelance Support System has been successfully bound! This system aims to help the host resolve the financial crisis faced after losing their job!]
Chen Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Has the will of Heaven arrived?

He looked at his [Far Ahead] system.
[Far ahead of the curve feature 1: ahead of the peers!] As long as the host enters the industry and invests in research, it will definitely obtain the leading technology of its peers!
【Far ahead of feature 2: 50% ahead!】 The performance of the products produced by the factory under the name of the host is 50% higher than that of similar products in the same industry!
【Far ahead of the feature 3: can't get out of the factory!】 The workers under the name of the host work wholeheartedly, and the quality of the factory products is the first in the industry, without fear of sunspots!
【Far ahead of the curve feature 4: empowerment!】 As long as the cooperation contract is signed, all factories can be counted under the name of the host.
[Note: Because high-tech technology mostly exists in the military field, when producing military equipment, the characteristics are increased to 500%!] I
Decided to do something good and had no job.
But he didn't have any money.
But then he thought of a man with a cold 4 billion lying on an account.
"Ray, borrow some!"
"Lei, do you want to go crazy? Want to get something good?
"Ray, when people say that you are suspected of military use, you better really take out your weapons and equipment, so that they can sit down and have a good talk with you."
"Far ahead! We're way ahead! Get ahead of your peers!
"Fifty percent ahead of its peers!"
"You say the electric pressure cooker we sell is being used in the military field? Sorry, we are only responsible for the empowerment of the electric pressure cooker, not us!
"Let's take the production capacity to see who can't bear it first."
Qin Hao's mobile phone has mutated, can he get big news in the future, and the price of pigs has skyrocketed three times?
What are you waiting for?
There are still five million shortfalls to acquire a large pig farm, and Qin Hao intends to borrow some from his friends.
Qin Hao: Old squad leader, I want to go home to raise pigs, do you want to invest?
Squad leader: Sorry, I just bought Ferrari.
Qin Hao: Two dogs, borrow 5 million to buy some piglets? How is your investment?
Second dog: No money, would you like to buy you a sow postpartum care?
Qin Hao: Shuyi, I want to go home to raise pigs.
Shuyi: You really have no interest, actually go home to raise pigs? Break up!
Qin Hao collapsed, and no one invested? Girlfriend also broke up?
But what makes Qin Hao speechless is that the classmates actually mistakenly thought he was bankrupt?
“Qin Hao’s companies and cars are sold, and they also borrow money to invest in pig farming. I don’t know what to do? ”
“Qin Hao may be bankrupt! Everyone has money in their hands! ”
“Pig prices are so low now! Don’t invest! Be careful of blood! ”
“Kick it directly! Let him raise pigs alone! Want to die and pull back? ”
“Ding! Qin Hao was kicked out of the classmates chat group! ”
A 120*53 yard green field, U-shaped goals spaced 18 feet apart, a whistle, 4 quarters of 60 minutes, 11 players on the field, a 30-man coaching staff, a 46-man roster, hundreds of sideline staff, tens of thousands of spectators cheering in unison, tens of millions of people watching from the sidelines, hundreds of millions of dollars in commercial sponsorship, this is just an ordinary football game weekend.
The winner gains both fame and fortune and takes everything.
The losers are sad and have nothing.
All
or
Nothing?
As a man who appears in multiple newspaper pages covering sports, entertainment, finance, business, technology, and culture, his public image is undoubtedly complex.
Those who love him say that he is the savior of the football field, the pioneer of commercial sports, the pioneer of Wall Street, the harvester of Hollywood, the godfather of Silicon Valley, an old friend of lobbying groups, and a beneficiary of two financial crises.
In the eyes of those who hated him, he became "a team bully with no professional ethics", "an unscrupulous opportunist", "the heir to Hugh Hefner's legacy", "an alien from Area 52", "a broker from K Street", and "a lackey of a media group".
