Logan's words struck a nerve with everyone present, and even the city mayor, Xu Zhijian, who stood by, had a grim expression. "What you're saying is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"
"Are teachers from your beautiful country definitely superior to teachers from our Huaxia? Where do you get that confidence?"
The parents in the audience, however, were much calmer. To them, it didn't matter whether "beautiful country" teachers or Huaxia teachers were better; what mattered was that truly excellent teachers educated their children.
Only Lu Ming understood why Logan was pushing the mayor's buttons by making such disrespectful remarks in public.
It wasn't that Logan was arrogant, but rather that it was necessary.
Logan's purpose in coming to Huaxia was to destroy its future and instill a sense of admiration for foreign things in its young minds.
Given that, praising the "beautiful country" was essential.
Even if it was disrespectful, he had to do it!
Bottom lines were broken down step by step, and values were formed gradually. Through continuous praise of the "beautiful country" and devaluation of Huaxia, Chinese children would unconsciously develop a mentality of looking up to foreign things.
This way, Logan's objective would be achieved.
"That old scoundrel is truly wicked," Lu Ming muttered, cursing under his breath. Just as he had predicted, Logan, who appeared amiable on the surface, was actually a villain!
"Continue."
Logan smiled and said, "Perhaps what I just said was a bit harsh, but please believe that I'm speaking the truth. Of course, words are not proof; we must use practical actions to show you how correct my words are. Now, I will officially begin today's demonstration and let the parents see how excellent the teachers from the 'beautiful country' are!"
With that, Logan took the initiative to clap, welcoming the teachers.
Amidst the applause, elegantly dressed foreign teachers strode onto the stage with ease. The men were noble and elegant, the women poised and dignified. The older teachers were seasoned and steady. Judging purely by appearance, they made a very good first impression.
Then, Logan began introducing them one by one.
There were teachers for mathematics, physics, chemistry, English, history...
Basically, all the mainstream subjects were covered.
Most importantly, each teacher had an impressive resume. Hiring just one such teacher might cost a million yuan annually, and with so many teachers assembled, their combined annual salary was likely in the tens of millions.
It had to be said, Logan had spared no expense.
Seeing these teachers take the stage and hearing their glittering resumes, the parents in the audience nodded in approval.
However, this was clearly not enough.
A parent representative raised their hand and said, "Mr. Logan, the teachers you've selected are indeed excellent, but forgive my bluntness, with just this, our own aristocratic schools in Huaxia could achieve the same. I don't see what makes your school different."
Indeed, other aristocratic schools also had very outstanding teachers.
So, what was your unique selling proposition?
Logan had already prepared for this question. He stroked his beard and replied with a smile, "This gentleman's question is excellent. In fact, the teachers on stage are merely the foundation of our aristocratic school's education. For a child to have a great future, they must develop comprehensively in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetic appreciation, and labor! To that end, I have also hired many outstanding social elites to join the school and help students improve abilities beyond academics. Now, allow me to introduce them one by one."
Logan gestured for the teachers on stage to step down, then he called out a name: "Uccesi."
"Huh?"
The parents in the audience were stunned upon hearing the name. They had heard of this name before, but... could it be the Uccesi they were thinking of?
"Uccesi? The former world heavyweight boxing champion? No way, this joke is a bit too much."
"If it really is Uccesi, then it's incredible. With him around, they probably won't even need to hire security guards for the school."
"A heavyweight boxing champion! Why would such a world-famous figure come to Jinling to be a mere teacher? It's unbelievable."
"Tsk tsk tsk, Mr. Logan has truly spared no expense, hiring real social elites."
Amidst the crowd's astonishment and anticipation, a powerfully built man walked out.
He had long hair, a massive frame, and arms as thick as tree trunks.
Even though he was wearing clothes, they were stretched taut by his impressive muscles, giving the impression they might rip at any moment.
The sight of him in person was far more intimidating than seeing him on television!
"My God, it's really Uccesi."
"Oh my, this is going too far!"
Seeing the crowd's reaction, Logan wore a look of deep satisfaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted to achieve!
In reality, Uccesi wasn't truly coming to be a teacher. Logan had paid him a hefty sum to play along. Once the school opened, Logan would also pay sports stars to come.
Imagine Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Curry, Nadal, Bolt, and others – paying them to come and claim they were teachers at the school.
Think about the immense social impact that would cause!
For these world-class celebrities, even one class with them would be worth more than the cost.
Everyone would be proud to attend Logan's school!
In fact, people didn't even need to wait for the school to open. Many eyes were already gleaming, eager to send their children to Logan's school immediately.
Logan smiled and said, "Uccesi is a special teacher hired by our school. While he won't be a resident teacher like the others, he will give students 12 lessons each year. He will teach them some of his boxing techniques. Those interested in this area can sign up for his classes."
Tsk tsk, the parents in the audience could no longer sit still, eager to sign up.
It was Uccesi, after all.
If their children could learn boxing techniques from him, they would undoubtedly be much more capable than their peers! Even if they weren't aiming to become professional boxers, it would be worth learning just to ensure their children wouldn't be bullied.
This was far more practical than learning judo, taekwondo, or karate!
Learn! They must learn!
Some parents even stood up excitedly and shouted, "Mr. Logan, I want to sign up for Boxing King Uccesi's class right now. I hope my child can become a man as strong as the King!"
Other parents also stood up, vying to enroll their children. Their fervent gazes clearly showed how much importance they placed on their children learning boxing from Uccesi.
Logan nodded with great satisfaction. "Ladies and gentlemen, please, calm down. I understand your excitement, but today is merely a demonstration of our teaching capabilities, not an early registration. Besides, our aristocratic school hasn't even begun construction yet, so it's too early to collect fees."
Only then did everyone quiet down.
Yes, it was too early.
However, Uccesi's appearance had significantly boosted Logan's support among the parents, and many of them had already accepted Logan's assertion: teachers from the "beautiful country" were far superior to teachers from Huaxia!
If nothing else, surely in Huaxia, one couldn't find a teacher who could rival a heavyweight boxing champion like Uccesi!
If anyone was capable, why not go up and spar with Uccesi?
They would likely be beaten to a pulp!
However, there were always people in the world who did things beyond people's imagination.
Lu Ming.
He chuckled, sitting on his chair with his legs crossed, and said flippantly, "I thought it was some great figure, but it turns out to be just a retired old boxer? What, ran out of money so quickly after retiring that you had to travel all the way to Huaxia to make a quick buck?"
Those words were truly harsh.
All the parents, whether surprised, disgusted, or speechless, looked at Lu Ming, not understanding why he would say such a thing.
Logan was also surprised.
He hadn't expected anyone to dare to challenge a boxing champion in public.
"Cough, cough." Logan looked at Lu Ming and asked with a forced smile, "Sir, judging by your tone, you don't seem to hold Boxing King Uccesi in very high regard?"
Lu Ming nodded, "Yes, I don't. He should be resting at home after retiring. At his age, coming out to make money, I'm afraid he might bite off more than he can chew. He's not the man he used to be; be careful not to get beaten so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him."
Hearing this, Logan revealed an evil smile.
He stared intently at Lu Ming and asked a single question: "Then, sir, do you dare to spar with the aging Uccesi?"
