America is in control

Chapter 181 Bob’s Advice and Golden Jersey
Early the next morning, General Liu flew to Los Angeles with members of his logistics team.

When the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport, he gave members of the logistics team a short break.

After letting Martin drive him back to the Irvine villa, Liu Jiang temporarily fell into a state of doing nothing.

The reason is simple. Connery is not in the villa. She has been busy with the post-production of "Acts of Destiny" during this time.

From the second half of last year to the beginning of this year, she took on two movies at once, "Distant Harbor" and "Shocking Action".

Connery couldn't even spare the time to come to Las Vegas to watch his game, so why did the producers press him so hard?

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Liu Jiang recalled what happened after picking up Connery from the airport that day.

As the opponent wished, he showed his amazing arm strength and perseverance.

Connery only said he was fierce, but in fact he was not vulnerable at all.

Even if they haven't seen each other for a while, the other party is no match for him at all!
Thinking of this, the fire in Liu Jiang's heart started to surge upwards.

In order to cope with this game, he has accumulated firepower for a long time.

But now, Connery is not with him.

Water far away cannot save the fire nearby, so what can be done about it!
At this moment, Liu Jiang's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Bob's phone number.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

"John, it's seven o'clock tonight at the Millennium Hotel in Baltimore. Come over early. Some old friends miss you very much."

"No problem, Boss!"

"By the way, we need to think carefully about your opponent in the next game."

"Uh! Boss, do you have any better ideas?"

"I can't explain it clearly on the phone. We can talk in person after the celebration party in the evening."

"Okay, Boss."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jiang fell into deep thought.

Bob, what's going on? Didn't you say it well before?
He has obviously promised to arrange a boxing title unification fight for him as soon as possible, but now he says that he has to think about it, which doesn't sound very good!

I can't afford to waste any time now. After unifying the middleweight championship titles of the four major organizations, I have to climb to a higher weight class.

Could something have happened?

There is too little effective information! There is no way for me to make any reasonable inferences.

General Liu simply stopped thinking about it. He was going to see what happened tonight.

The Millennium Baltimore Hotel is a hotel with a particularly profound historical heritage in Los Angeles and is known as an enduring landmark in downtown Los Angeles.

This art-filled hotel dates back to the glory days of Old Hollywood and has hosted celebrities from around the world.

Liu Jiang appeared in the banquet hall in formal attire. Looking at the gilded walls and painted ceiling, he seemed to have returned to that glitzy era.

With hypocritical politeness and artificial words, Liu Jiang dealt with one wave after another of guests who tried to get close to him.

After finally reaching the center of the banquet hall, he saw Bob with a smile on his face.

"John, here!"

Bob waved to General Liu, who immediately leaned over.

"Boss, you look particularly energetic today!"

General Liu complimented him as soon as he opened his mouth and patted him on the back.

"How have you ever said this before? My ears are ringing with noise."

"Come with me and say hello to my old friends first!"

"As for your opponent in the next game, we will find a quiet place to chat later."

The smile on Bob's face grew wider, and it seemed that he was enjoying the flattery.

He gently patted General Liu's shoulder and led him to the corner of the banquet hall.

After maintaining their friendship with powerful figures in various circles, the two came to an empty round table.

"John, I contacted the boxing promoters of the three middleweight boxing champions again, and they have no idea of ​​taking up the challenge immediately."

"It may take a lot of time to finalize this boxing championship unification fight."

"I see that the deadline for your welterweight title defense is coming soon, so why not have one or two title defenses as a transition."

"Several boxers who are holding on to the right to force the challenge are contacting me through their boxing promoters. As long as you nod your approval, I can arrange the match immediately."

Bob said straight to the point. His meaning was obvious. If he wanted to have a faster match, he could only defend his boxing title first.

Come to think of it, the difficulty of arranging these two different types of competitions is simply worlds apart.

But this arrangement did not fit Liu Jiang's plan. After moving up to the middleweight class, he had no plans to play any more welterweight games.

After pondering for a while, Liu Jiang explained in as tactful a tone as possible.

"Boss, you also know that my ultimate goal is to compete in the heavyweight boxing ring. I don't want to waste too much time on those small fish and shrimps."

"After yesterday's match, I also publicly announced my challenge opponent in the media. If I then turn my head to defend my boxing title, it will hurt the audience very much."

"Besides, with my current physique, if I want to temporarily reduce the weight to a welterweight, it will cause huge damage to my body!"

Bob took a deep look at General Liu and then fell silent. It seemed that he was seriously thinking about what the other party said.

"John, you are only eighteen years old. There is no need to be so anxious to upgrade your weight class."

"If the deadline for the boxing championship defense comes and you choose not to fight, those organizations will most likely deprive you of the boxing championship belt!"

"You have to think about this, is it worth it?"

Bob tried to persuade him a little more, but he directly talked about his age and the boxing championship belt.

"Boss, my bones haven't closed yet, so it's the best time to increase my level!"

“Natural growth in height and weight will put me in the sweet spot of speed and strength.”

"Boss, I've thought about it carefully. At worst, I will give up the welterweight championship belt when the time comes."

"It's not a big deal. I firmly believe that I can get those gold belts back at middleweight!"

General Liu had a determined look on his face and his eyes were shining brightly. He said with great confidence, his high-spirited attitude immediately revealed.

Bob was stunned for a moment, looking at the energetic General Liu in front of him, an extremely complicated look flashed in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment and organizing his words, he said slowly.

"John, I am very satisfied with your attitude, but there is no need to make up your mind so quickly."

"You can take this time to think about it and figure out how to go next."

"Anyway, there is still plenty of time. You can come to me at any time before the next game is finalized."

Bob did not finish his sentence, but left a few words before continuing.

Liu Jiang felt that the last few words of the other party had a meaning. He had a vague guess, but he was not sure.

"Boss, let me think it over again and communicate with you if I have any ideas. Do you think it's okay?"

To be on the safe side, General Liu also left some room and did not stick to the end. A gentle smile appeared on Bob's face again, and he nodded towards General Liu, ending the conversation.

Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Liu Jiang touched his chin, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

What is Bob doing? Is he really planning to
no! You have to consult with someone, and your own judgment may not be accurate.

One person is short-term, two people are long-term! There is no need to jump to conclusions so quickly.

Thinking of this, Liu Jiang threw away all the complicated thoughts in his mind.

He picked up a glass of water and drank it in one gulp, trying to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

The cold water in his stomach made Liu Jiang calm down a little. He took stock of his surroundings and slowly walked towards a round table.

Nicolas Cage was chatting and laughing with some Hollywood stars, and his nonchalant appearance attracted the attention of many people around him.

The post-production of "The Island" was in progress, and he couldn't spare the time to go to Las Vegas.

"Hey, Nick, when will "The Island" be released?"

Liu Jiang said hello to the other party and squeezed into the group of Hollywood stars.

"John, you're finally here! I heard from the producer that the movie might be released in June."

"The producer will definitely call you when the time comes. After all, you are also a member of the crew of "The Island"."

"You are indispensable for publicity. Don't think that it's over after dubbing!"

Nicolas Cage put his arm around Liu Jiang's shoulders and joked a few words.

"I will definitely do my best when it comes to publicity, as long as it's not like last time!"

Liu Jiang also made a joke. In fact, he still recalled Catherine's enchanting flaming red lips.

"Your game in Las Vegas was really exciting! I regret not being able to be there to support you!"

"To be honest, I really don't understand you. You usually look so gentle, but why do you look so brutal as soon as you step into the ring?"

"If I hadn't known you for so long, I would have doubted whether you had a twin brother."

Patting Liu Jiang on the shoulder, Nicolas Cage continued to tease.

"Nick, you don't know! My opponent this time is extremely insidious. He has tried to cripple me several times!"

"If I don't get rid of him as soon as possible, I will be the one being carried off the ring on a stretcher!"

"I would rather be misunderstood by some people than have my waist hurt in any way! Do you understand what I mean?"

Liu Jiang pretended to be solemn and explained that it was best not to put the label of cruelty on his forehead.

This is not conducive to making connections in Hollywood. After all, Hollywood is a gathering place for virgins.

"Is there such a thing? I didn't even notice it when I was watching live TV!"

"Why don't you protest to the referee? Hitting the midfielder is an explicitly prohibited action!"

Nicolas Cage looked incredulous, and he subconsciously looked at the opponent's lower back.

"Didn't my opponent fail to succeed? Why on earth am I protesting!"

"Besides, my opponent has been sent to the ICU by me, and I'm not sure whether he can return to the ring."

"He has already paid enough, and there is no point in me pursuing it any further."

Liu Jiang glared at the other party angrily and stated his reasons.

"That's true! Anyway, congratulations! John, you successfully won the WBA middleweight championship belt."

After twisting his head, Nicolas Cage decisively changed the topic and congratulated General Liu.

"Thank you! Nick."

After replying to the other party, Liu Jiang quietly looked at the circle of Hollywood stars.

pity! There are no outstanding figures, they are all vulgar.

Everyone started chatting, and General Liu also chimed in with a word or two from time to time.

At this moment, a pretty figure suddenly walked over and said hello to a certain vulgar fan.

Liu Jiangxun said, "Ouch!" not bad!
Wearing a golden sequined tulle evening dress, her slender, swan-like neck has a golden pendant.

The golden ornaments wrapped around her neck almost all the way around her neck, and finally spread out and hung down to her chest.

She has short, slightly curly blond hair that doesn't look messy, and a pair of small, slightly pink ears, like shells.

Underneath the smooth and full forehead are slender and beautiful eyebrows like willow leaves.

A pair of big, round almond-shaped eyes, a handsome straight nose, and a small cherry mouth.

Her facial features are very three-dimensional, giving people a vague sense of oppression.

The curvy and tall figure coupled with the golden sequined tulle evening dress is simply stunning!
Isn't this Charlize Theron, the Serbian emperor who shot the perfume commercial for Dior?

This golden jersey is so imaginative and fascinating!
General Liu began to feel excited. Could it be that tonight would be another sleepless night?
The vulgar fan began to introduce Charlize Theron to everyone, and all the Hollywood male stars in this circle showed excitement.

Liu Jiang straightened his back, had a charming smile on his face, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

"John, this is Charlize Theron, from South Africa, an actor who is just starting out in Hollywood."

Finally introduced to General Liu, he immediately stretched out his hand and shook his hand lightly.

"Hello, my name is John Liu. You can call me John. Nice to meet you."

Theron's hand was as soft as jade, and General Liu was reluctant to let go.

"Hello, I'm Charlize Theron."

The look in their eyes was a bit electric, and Theron had a blush on her pretty face.

Liu Jiang came back to his senses, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he reluctantly let go of the other party's hand.

After getting to know everyone, Charlize Theron chatted with everyone very naturally.

Through small talk, Liu will learn that Charlize Theron played a small role in the movie "Children of the Corn 3" last year.

This year I also took on two movies, which is my first step into the Hollywood industry.

If you want to build a relationship with the other party, or even go further, this is not easy!
After everyone chatted for a while, they began to disperse slowly. Liu Jiangben wanted to find an opportunity to be alone with Charlize Theron for a while.

But Nicolas Cage pestered him like candy, talking about boxing matches.

There was no other way, Liu Jiang could only temporarily give up his plan to strike up a conversation with Charlize Theron. The two came to the buffet table and started chatting while eating.

Not long after chatting, Nicolas Cage was invited to drink by several friends, and he even looked at General Liu apologetically.

Liu Jiang was eager for the other party to leave quickly, lest it affect his plan to pick up girls.

He gave Nicolas Cage a nonchalant wink, and the latter slowly left.

Liu Jiang began to look around, looking for that pretty figure.

Coincidentally, Charlize Theron was walking slowly toward the buffet area on catwalks.
