America is in control

Chapter 183: Sudden Arrow and Connery’s Return
For the next few days, Liu will act like nothing happened.

He commutes between the boxing gym and school every day, and whenever he has free time, he goes to the post-production place of "The Island" to learn from his master.

There has been no change from Bob's side for the time being, and there is no news about the boxing champion's unification match.

Almost a week passed like this, and Bob finally couldn't bear it anymore when he saw that Liu Jiang was like a normal person and never made any move.

Liu Jiang was training in the boxing gym that day, and his boxing manager Terry suddenly came over.

"Boss, I have something urgent to report to you."

Terry looked anxious and spoke quickly, like an ant on a hot pot.

General Liu quickly stopped training and looked at Rooney beside him.

Although Rooney was a little helpless, he still nodded silently.

Liu Jiang then took Terry to a quiet place and asked.

"Terry, what's wrong? What happened?"

Since the last time he helped each other block a bottle of wine, Terry and himself have become much closer.

He cherishes his job as a boxing agent and has always done his best without daring to slack off.

"Boss, the ribbon-cutting, stand-up, and attendance at events that were previously agreed upon have all changed."

"Those shopping malls, fitness centers, boxing gyms, and bars terminated their contracts with us without giving any clear reasons."

"I suspect that someone is causing trouble behind the scenes and deliberately looking for trouble for us."

Terry's face was filled with righteous indignation. Commissions from these activities were the bulk of his income.

After Liu Jiang pondered for a moment, he looked up at the other party.

He vaguely had an answer in his mind. This matter probably had something to do with Bob.

If Bob really greeted those merchants, then he really had no way to counter it.

"Did those merchants pay liquidated damages?"

Breaking the contract is breaking the contract, but the liquidated damages cannot be less!
"They paid the liquidated damages, but the amount was not large."

“When the contract was signed, the liquidated damages were not set high!”

"Boss, let's just forget it?"

Seeing Liu Jiang's calm look, Terry was still a little angry, so he asked hurriedly.

"That's all for now, remember to set the liquidated damages higher next time!"

"By the way, blacklist all those merchants who have broken their contracts. We will not cooperate with them in the future."

"Don't worry! This situation won't last long, I will find a solution as soon as possible!"

Liu Jiang comforted the other party for a few words, and then sent Terry away after some hard work.

When the opponent's figure disappeared from the boxing gym door, Liu Jiang fell into deep thought.

It seems that Bob wants to force himself to surrender to him by hitting his cash flow.

Not arranging a boxing match is equivalent to cutting off one's main source of income.

Saying hello to those merchants and breaking the contract is equivalent to cutting off one's own external water.

Not only that, but the timing of Bob’s launch was also very good because it was tax season soon.

My income was quite high last year, but after I paid the taxes, I only had a few cents left from the appearance fee for the last game.

There is still a little more than a year left before the contract is renewed. Such a long time is enough to consume all the working capital in hand.

After all, the salary of the logistics team and your own expenses are not a small amount every month.

Bob had wanted to create opportunities to take advantage of himself before, but he had not succeeded.

Now he doesn't want to use too violent means to completely force his cash cow to rebel.

Only then did he come up with this method of cutting flesh with a soft knife in an attempt to make himself surrender.

Liu Jiang felt that he had figured out Bob's motivations and ideas for this series of operations.

Sure enough, money and silk are very attractive! The alienation of people by capital has reached an unprecedented level in this country!
It's just because his contract is about to expire, and he didn't express his intention to renew it in time.

Bob's tough tactics were used immediately, without giving him any time to react.

But trying to drain your own cash flow by just relying on these methods is simply a fantasy!
Bob doesn’t really think of himself as some wanton spendthrift kid!
The other party underestimates himself too much!
To be honest, if these were just the means, General Liu would not be afraid at all.

The money he invested in the stock market has doubled several times over the years. At worst, if he sells the stocks, he will have liquidity.

Besides, the cash flow of New Caesar Sporting Goods Company is also good, and funds can be withdrawn at any time.

Bob should still have some means waiting for him, but he doesn’t know who will take the lead first!

"John, are you comfortable now?"

At this time, Joey, the owner of the boxing gym, came over and interrupted Liu Jiang's thoughts.

"Joy, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Jiang raised his head and looked at Joey who was a little hesitant.

"Uh! It's like this. The facilities in the boxing gym are a bit old. I want to spend a sum of money to renovate the boxing gym!"

"But the cost of decoration is not low, and I don't have enough money."

"John, let me get it straight! Are you willing to invest in my boxing gym?"

Joey looked at General Liu expectantly, as if he was his savior.

General Liu was stunned, it couldn't be such a coincidence! If something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

Just after Bob launched the initiative, the owner of the boxing gym asked him to invest. This is too obvious!

"Joy, I have no plans to invest for the time being. I'm just trying to figure out how to deal with paying taxes."

He rejected the other party without hesitation. At this time, there was no room for Liu General to be careless.

The light in Joey's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he sighed with disappointment.

But he didn't intend to give up just like that, and instead tried to persuade General Liu.

"John, my boxing gym is currently making good money. If it can be renovated, it will definitely attract more members."

"As long as you are willing to invest, I guarantee you will never lose money!"

"Are you really going to give it a second thought?"

Liu Jiang shook his head firmly and clearly rejected the other party.

"In this case, I can only think of other ways."

"Next I will increase the membership fee of the boxing gym. I hope you can understand."

Joey's expression changed, and after saying a few words, he turned around and left.

General Liu sneered in his heart, "If you, Butcher Zhang, die, will I still be able to eat pigs with hair on them?"
The reason why your boxing gym has so many members is that most of them are not here because of my name.

It is really contrary to Tiangang. Can't you tell who is the real Buddha?

General Liu doesn't plan to fight with his opponent. He plans to ask Terry to help him find a reliable boxing gym after the training.

Three-legged toads are hard to find. They are everywhere in American boxing gyms.

Back to Rooney, Liu Jiang was about to continue training, but the other party grabbed him.

"John, I just received news that someone on the logistics team is not restless."

"You'd better handle this matter properly first, so as not to affect the atmosphere of the logistics team."

"This happened out of the blue. Have you offended anyone recently?"

Rooney leaned into General Liu's ear and whispered a few words. Liu Jiang frowned, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.

No! Again? He actually got it into his own logistics team!
He felt very unhappy because Bob's little tricks were really endless.

It's like a toad crawling on your feet. It doesn't bite, but it is very annoying!

"Coach, it's okay! It's just some small tricks that don't make sense. I will handle it properly."

General Liu said solemnly to Rooney, who nodded and said no more.

Taking out his cell phone, Liu Jiang found out Lei's number and called him.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

Lei's deep voice came from the phone receiver.

"Is there someone in the logistics team making trouble today?"

Liu Jiang asked in a deep voice. Logically speaking, Lei should inform him first about this kind of thing.

"Uh! Boss, several members of the logistics team are clamoring for a salary increase. Is this considered a riot?"

Lei replied hesitantly. In his opinion, this could only be regarded as a complaint at best.

"Are they talking in front of everyone, are they inciting others?"

rise salary? Liu Jiang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly grasped the key to the problem.

"Hiss! Boss, I'm so sorry! I'll control them right now."

Lei, who had come back to his senses, immediately expressed his opinion: The authorities are obsessed, but bystanders know better!
"No need! Just find a way to separate them from other members of the logistics team. I'll ask Harvey to come over later."

Personal control is not advisable. It would be bad if these guys try to blackmail you.

"Okay! Boss."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jiang quickly called Harvey.

Briefly telling the other party what happened in the logistics team, he asked Harvey to fire those guys.

Harvey agreed immediately without any hesitation.

At this time, you must cut through the mess with a sharp knife, and do not let go of any mistakes.

After the two phone calls, Liu will continue training with Rooney.

After another while, his cell phone rang again.

Rooney stopped and signaled Liu to get things settled first before training.

General Liu nodded in agreement. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Brandon's call. Can't he sit still?

"Hey Brandon, what can you do?"

Pressing the answer button, he asked in a pretentious manner.

"John, there's something going on in the logistics team. Do you know about it?"

Brandon's voice sounded a little urgent on the phone, probably because Harvey had already started to take action.

"Didn't I let Harvey handle it? Didn't he handle it?"

Liu Jiang said in an understatement with a nonchalant tone.

"Uh! Isn't it a little too hasty to just fire people?"

Brandon objected politely, he also wanted to keep those guys.

"There is no need to discuss this matter. I have already made a decision. It's not like you don't know that the treatment I give them is pretty good in the industry!"

General Liu's attitude was firm. He would not dare to stay with such a pickpocketing guy.

"John, don't you think about it again? It's hard to find professionals of this level now!"

There was a hint of threat in Brandon's words.

"It's okay! Anyway, the next game hasn't been finalized yet, so just look for it slowly."

With a cold snort in his heart, Liu Jiang directly blocked the other party's words.

What a joke! With my current reputation, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find professionals.

There are so many people who want to win my bowl. Do you really think that without you Brandon, I won’t be able to gather together my logistics team?
"John, do you still want to have a boxing title unification match in the next game?"

Brandon decisively changed the topic, began to make insinuations, and asked tentatively.

"Of course it's a good thing to have a boxing title unification fight. I haven't thought about anything else yet."

Liu Jiang replied ambiguously. He was not ready to express his position for the time being, just to see who could endure it.

Brandon tried a few more words, but General Liu dealt with them.

I hung up the phone and no more emergencies occurred for the rest of the day.

After the training is over, Liu will immediately contact Terry and ask him to help him find a reliable boxing gym.

In the days that followed, Bob's methods and temptations never stopped.

Faced with these means, General Liu will deal with what he can handle in a timely manner, and what he can't handle, he will hide and hide.

If you really can't avoid it, just ignore it and pretend that nothing happened.

He is strong by him, the breeze blows the hills, he is horizontal by him, and the bright moon shines on the river.

Time flew by, and soon it was March, and Connery was finally busy with the post-production of "Shocking."

She returns as the 'king' and visits the Irvine Villa again.

It's just that this king can only be regarded as a strong-mouthed king at best. After a fierce battle, Connery couldn't straighten his waist.

After taking a shower, Liu Jiang walked into the bedroom while wiping his hair with a towel.

Connery put on one of his shirts and reluctantly leaned on the mat, his face flushed slightly unhappy.

"Honey, what's wrong? Did someone make you unhappy?"

General Liu noticed the strange look on the other person's face and quickly approached him.

He put his arms around Connery's waist, which was too full to hold, and rested his chin on the other's round shoulder, asking softly.

"John, I feel like there are almost no roles suitable for me in Hollywood!"

"The director and producer of the movie "Shocking" were very dissatisfied with me. They thought I used too many stand-ins!"

"Originally, I didn't have many roles in this movie, and you didn't allow me to shoot those outrageous scenes."

"The female bodyguard Lina you found for me almost had a fight with the director on the set."

"John, do you understand? No producer will invite a vase who refuses to show off to join the crew!"

Connelly's pretty face gently rubbed the tip of General Liu's nose, and she said resentfully.

General Liu suddenly felt a headache. This was not easy to deal with!
It is undeniable that he asked Connery not to shoot those messy scenes out of his own selfish motives.

General Liu was pleased, but this would undoubtedly make Connery's acting career narrower and narrower, to the point where he would not be able to film.

There is no way, who told her that her figure is so outstanding!
As soon as Connery appears on the big screen, all the audience's eyes will focus on one place.

This is not good news for actors.

"Jenny, you will never be a vase in my eyes. In fact, you are more suitable to develop into an acting school!"

"You have so many qualities that are just temporarily covered up!"

"Over the years, you have played too many roles such as flower vase, so the audience has almost forgotten the spiritual Deborah (Once Upon a Time in America)."

After considering his words, Liu Jiang looked at the other party affectionately, trying to change her mind.
