America is in control

Chapter 101 Risk Avoidance and Pre-match Press Conference
"John, is the trouble taken care of?"

"The small trouble has been solved, but I feel like there is a big trouble waiting for me!"

"Uh! Then what do you think now."

"Let's find a time to have a small meeting tomorrow. Let's talk about it at the meeting!"

"That's okay! Then you go to bed early."

"you too, good night!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jiang lay down on the bed, thinking about that vague idea in his mind.

Before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, in the Irvine villa.

Looking at the people sitting around him, Liu Jiang slowly told what happened in Chicago and Tony last night.

Then he told his guess again.

Everyone around him looked in disbelief.

"John, are you thinking too much?"

"You now have Bob and his Top Promotions company behind you."

"If something like this happens to Tony in the future, you can tell Bob directly."

"He's definitely capable of handling this properly."

Harvey was the first to react, and his ideas were very practical.

But Liu will not want to rely too much on anyone. This approach can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Bob's asylum is only temporary, and he will leave Top Promotions one day.

If you don't make complete plans now, you will definitely fall into trouble when the time comes.

"Bob is not omnipotent! I can't put all my hopes on him alone."

"Besides, one day I will leave his service, what will I do then?"

"It's too late to think about this until then!"

No one could say that it was wrong to prepare for a rainy day, and everyone fell into deep thought.

"That's what I thought, as long as the odds on me losing the game weren't that outrageous."

"It won't attract too many interested people's attention, and it won't make people think of taking risks."

"This way, it's relatively safer!"

Liu Jiang expressed his thoughts after careful consideration last night.

"Manipulating the odds of a boxing match? We don't have that much ability, do we?"

Alfonso clicked his tongue and muttered with shock on his face.

"As long as I lower the expectations of boxing fans and giant companies for my victory before the game, won't the odds naturally come down?"

"Pretending to be in a sluggish state, or spreading rumors of an unrecovered injury, can do this."

"I can even pretend to be addicted to wine and sex. As long as it's useful, I don't care about anything."

General Liu added a few more words, and then looked around at everyone.

"Tell me what you think, or help me improve it."

Li Chengxiong thought for a while and said.

"Boss, lowering expectations through this method should achieve good results."

"But if you do this, it will damage your public image."

"A positive image will help you a lot in other aspects."

Li Chengxiong said something worried.

"Actually, that's fine! A perfect personality is not that easy to maintain."

"An image that is too positive cannot withstand attacks and is too easily counterattacked."

"Once the house collapses, it will be difficult to recover!"

Harvey put forward his own opinions, and his ideas coincided with Liu Jiang.

General Liu nodded slightly towards the other party and then looked at Alfonso.

"I have no objection. Protecting your own safety is the most important thing." Alfonso also expressed support.

"There is no danger in this boxing championship unification fight for the time being. We can find an opportunity to test it first in the future."

"Uncle, I need you to always pay attention to the odds, in case something too outrageous happens."

"I need you to tell me right away, without any delay."

General Liu said solemnly towards Alfonso.

The latter nodded to show understanding.

Everyone discussed again and perfected some details.

After the meeting ended, everyone got busy.

In the following days, Liu Jiang never encountered anything bad again, and everything seemed to become normal.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to preparing for the game, and his condition was maintained at a very good level.

Time flies by and tomorrow is the day of the pre-match press conference.

In the MGM Grand Hotel, Liu Jiang was talking to Harvey on his mobile phone.

"Yahoo is not willing to give in?"

“What did the person at Sequoia Capital who was in charge of this negotiation say?”

"Okay! I agree to this condition."

"If I sign a contract, can I have the other party fly to Las Vegas? I can't leave here for the time being."

"Yeah! Okay, see you tomorrow then!"

After hanging up the phone, General Liu breathed a long sigh of relief.

After more than half a month of contact and negotiation, Harvey and Li Chengxiong finally settled the matter of investing in Yahoo.

As a start-up company, Yahoo is valued at US$400 million. Sequoia Capital and Liu Jiang's new Caesars Investment Company each invested US$100 million, each accounting for 25% of the company's shares.

Tomorrow, March 3, representatives from all parties will sign the contract in Las Vegas, and the funds need to be transferred to Yahoo's account within 3 days.

Liu Jiang's appearance fee for this boxing championship unification fight is as high as 160 million U.S. dollars, which can be regarded as Bob's gift of loyalty to Liu Jiang.

This appearance fee, after deducting Bob's share, is used to invest in Yahoo.

Everything went so smoothly, Liu Jiang greeted the pre-match press conference with satisfaction.

"John, what are you thinking about? Pay attention to your image management."

"You're grinning like a fool, and your laughter is almost leaking out!"

"This is a pre-match press conference, don't think about it!"

Alfonso couldn't stand it and tugged on General Liu's clothes to remind him to pay attention to the occasion.

General Liu woke up a little, patted his cheek, and forcibly suppressed the smile on his face.

As the passionate "Veni Vidi Vici" played, he stepped into the press conference.

Liu Jiang was wearing a black slim-fitting suit, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and his hair was waxed into a slicked-back style.

Following a familiar beat, he came to the stage in twos and twos.

He posed like Caesar pointing forward, and the sound of the shutter being pressed was instantly heard in the audience.

Bathed in the flickering white light, Liu Jiang stood tall and straight, with a solemn and serious expression on his face.

After the reporters finished taking photos, Liu Jiang turned around and sat down next to the host.
At this time, another piece of background music sounded, and Felix entered.

He was wearing a sky-blue tracksuit with the Puerto Rican flag embroidered on his chest.

The smile on his face looks very clean, giving people the illusion of being a big boy next door.

But Liu Jiang had seen the viciousness hidden under the innocent smile of the other party. He snorted coldly, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Felix slowly walked to the stage and posed for the reporters in the audience to take pictures.

When he turned around to walk towards the host, he was firmly locked by a pair of eyes that exuded a chilling feeling.

Felix smiled and raised his head, meeting General Liu's gaze as if he were preying on prey.

The eyes of both parties crossed, and the entire press conference fell silent instantly.
