America is in control

Chapter 204: Soft knife cutting and timely counterattack
Leaving Madison Square Garden, Liu returned to the hotel with his logistics team.

After lying on the big bed and resting for a while, he put on his dress and asked Martin to drive him to the Plaza Hotel in New York.

The Plaza Hotel New York is located on 59th Street in Manhattan, New York, adjacent to Fifth Avenue and adjacent to Grand Legion Plaza to the east.

It has a long history and is the highest-status and most honorable hotel in the United States.

The Plaza Hotel in New York is like an old-time French castle, isolated in this steel forest.

It's so elegant, so unique.

Walking into the banquet hall leisurely, General Liu's appearance attracted the attention of countless guests present.

They all raised their glasses to pay tribute to the double middleweight champion who had just won two gold belts.

Liu Jiang had a confident smile on his face and calmly dealt with every guest who approached him.

The attitude of these guests was much more respectful than before, and their congratulations were so high-sounding.

After Liu Jiang thought about it for a while, he understood what was going on. Yahoo's listing led to a surge in his net worth.

Most of these celebrities regard themselves differently for this reason.

Reality! It’s so damn realistic! It is the common denominator of human beings to flatter the superior and suppress the inferior, and America is no different!
After dealing with waves of guests trying to get close to him, General Liu finally reached the center of the banquet hall.

He immediately spotted Bob, who was chatting with several muscular guys in suits and ties.

"John, here!"

Bob saw all directions and heard all directions, and he saw General Liu immediately.

He waved to the other party, signaling the latter to come over quickly.

"Boss, you look good!"

General Liu immediately leaned over and said compliments.

"John, let me introduce to you. This is Oscar De La Hoya, the former WBO lightweight champion and current WBO/IBF lightweight double champion."

"This is Michael Carbajal, the former WBO/IBF junior bantamweight double champion."

"This is Eric Morales, IBF super lightweight champion."

"They are all the best small-division fighters under top promotion companies!"

Bob cheerfully introduced some thugs in suits to General Liu.

"Hello, I'm John Liu, nice to meet you."

"John, we all know you, there's no need for an introduction!"

"Yes, yes! You fought so wonderfully in the boxing ring today, I couldn't bear to blink!"

"John, just call me Hoya. How do you usually practice? Your fists are so heavy!"

General Liu remained calm on the surface as he shook hands with the boxing champions one by one and became polite.

Secretly, he began to speculate on Bob's purpose in introducing these people to him.

What does this old fox mean? Are you showing off to yourself? still
These small-level boxing champions are all powerful in the professional boxing world, and among them Oscar de la Hoya is the most popular.

De La Hoya is known as the golden boy in boxing. In 1992, he represented the United States in the Barcelona Olympics.

Overcoming obstacles along the way and winning consecutive victories, he successfully won the lightweight gold medal in the Olympic boxing event.

In the same year, De La Hoya moved to the professional boxing ring and had a smooth journey, becoming the WBO/IBF lightweight double champion.

He has a handsome face, but his fighting style is extremely fierce. He is called "Beckham in the boxing ring" by countless boxing fans!
In the boxing ring, De La Hoya conquers men with a pair of iron fists, and off the ring, he conquers women with his handsome face!
De La Hoya is regarded as one of the most perfect idols by countless American boxing fans!

As for the two boxers Michael Carbajal and Eric Morales, I don’t know much about them.

De La Hoya's style is very similar to his own, and he follows the same path.

It's just that the opponent's record is not as impressive as his own, and his handsomeness is not nearly as good.

Bob openly introduced the other party to him, what was his plan?

A reunion of fighters from a top promotion company? I'm afraid it's not that simple!
Bob must have a deeper meaning. Is he sending a warning to himself?
The other party still has not given up the plan to renew the contract in advance. He is using De La Hoya to beat himself!

A top promotion company is not incapable of doing without him. If Bob can win one boxing star, he can win a second one.

De La Hoya is his alternative, as are even the two boxing champions Michael Carbajal and Eric Morales.

Although De La Hoya is currently not as famous as himself, in case
Thinking of this, Liu Jiang felt that he had vaguely guessed Bob's thoughts.

"John, come with me, I have something to say to you!"

After chatting for a while, Bob asked Hoya and the other three to go have something to eat first, while he took General Liu to a quiet corner.

"John, Top Promotions is currently scouting a new generation of boxers."

"Do you remember the name Floyd Mayweather?"

"The year you won the national lightweight Golden Gloves championship, he also won the national flyweight Golden Gloves championship."

The expression on Bob's face was quite gentle, and he suddenly asked a question that made General Liu somewhat confused.

He seemed to be asking about Mayweather, but also seeking his own opinion.

Mayweather? Isn’t it just Mei Monkey? I have watched his games before!
However, it seems that this guy has not yet entered the professional boxing ring. Does the top promotion company want to sign Mayweather?

If you want to sign, sign it! It’s none of my business!

wrong! Bob is making trouble again, he wants to put pressure on himself.

"Boss, I have no idea about the name Floyd Mayweather!"

Liu Jiang didn't want to fall into the opponent's routine, he wanted to strangle this conversation to death.

If the golden boy De La Hoya is still a bit of a threat to him, then Mayweather, who has not yet made his debut, is too far behind.

I have won so many gold belts that I can no longer wear them. Bob wants to threaten himself with an amateur boxer. It would be too bad!
"What a pity! I thought you knew something about Mayweather?"

"He is a very talented boxer with a tough fighting style and a lot of patience."

"After winning the national flyweight Golden Gloves championship, he did not immediately switch to a professional boxing ring, but has been honing his boxing skills."

"Top Promotions is ready to sign him after he competes in this year's Atlanta Olympics."

"At the same time, we will devote a lot of resources to him and prepare to cultivate another boxing star, just like you and De La Hoya."

Bob rambled on for a while, and his last words were the focus of the secret conversation.

Tilt resources? Producing boxing stars? Isn't this just a hint to myself?

If I don't renew my contract with a top promotion company in advance, a lot of my resources will be allocated.

A complete conspiracy is just a soft knife to cut flesh! It's a shame that old fox Bob came up with such a trick.

However, the other party's vision is indeed unique, and he actually took a fancy to Mayweather's money printing machine.

This news is not good for me! The other party is obviously testing his attitude!

We must find a way to fight back, otherwise Bob, an old fox, may go too far.

"Boss, this is really good news!" "If the top promotion company can cultivate a few more boxing stars, it will completely establish the company's position in the boxing promotion industry!"

“After all, a great promotion company cannot do without a steady stream of great fighters!”

Liu Jiang deliberately complimented the other party a few words, and then said what he said, giving Bob a faint nod.

If you, an old fox, dare to reduce my resources, don't blame me for turning against you.

With his current reputation, he only needs to reveal a little bit about his thoughts on job-hopping.

Shouldn't those boxing promotion companies rush to welcome him and treat him like a god of wealth?
I really don’t have any B points, and I still want to play these little tricks with myself!
"Ugh! John, that's great if you think so!"

"Cultivating young boxers is what top promotion companies have always done."

"But don't worry, this matter will not affect the resources of you and Hoya. You two are the signature boxers of our top promotion company!"

The smile on Bob's face stopped for a moment, and he understood the meaning of General Liu's words.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he immediately looked back.

"Boss, it's nothing! I don't need too many resources now."

"You don't have to be too anxious about the boxing championship unification fight!"

"I'm going to finish the movie project I'm working on and then think about it!"

General Liu pushed further and took the opportunity to put forward his own conditions.

He put emphasis on the words 'too much', 'too much' and 'consider'.

The meaning is quite obvious. Not only can resources not be reduced, but they must also be tilted towards themselves.

The boxing champion unification fight must be arranged quickly. If you wait until all your movies are finished, you haven't decided on your opponent yet.

Then you really have to think carefully about whether it is necessary to stay in a top promotion company!
The first boxing promotion contract that I worked so hard to sign back then played a huge role.

If I were really like those boxing wage earners, signing a contract for seven or eight years.

Not only could he not resist, he would also have to be exploited to death by Bob, not to mention sharing the PPV share.

The good life we ​​have now is all due to the hard work of myself, Harvey and others!
General Liu will not forget this for a moment!

"John, I promise you, I will do my best to promote the finalization of the boxing championship unification fight!"

"During this period, you should take a good rest. While preparing for the filming of the movie, don't forget to prepare for the competition."

"I wish your movie a hit in advance!"

The expression on his face became much more serious, and Bob promised firmly.

I don’t know if his blessing came from the bottom of his heart or if he was joking.

Liu Jiang does not attach much importance to the success or failure of his first film. Success is gratifying, but failure does not matter.

It's just a test of the waters, a small-budget movie that I can afford to lose.

What he values ​​more is to go through the entire process of distributing movies in Hollywood. Only in this way can he know what to expect.

There will be many big-selling movies in the future. As long as you have strong capital, are you still worried that you won't be able to make money or attract Hollywood actresses?
"Boss, thank you, I feel relieved with your words!"

Liu Jiang smiled and thanked Bob, and the two of them showed no abnormality at all.

It was as if the secret battle just now had never happened!
After the two chatted for a few more words, Bob excused himself and left.

Liu Jiang began to wander around the banquet hall. Many familiar friends came to today's celebration dinner, and he had to go and say hello.

"John, come here, I'll introduce you to some friends."

Moritz saw General Liu from a distance, and he quickly said hello to him.

General Liu hurriedly approached, but before anyone arrived, the words came first.

"Mr. Moritz, I haven't seen you for a while. You are getting more energetic!"

After laughing twice, Moritz patted General Liu on the shoulder and said excitedly.

"John, the reason why I am so energetic is entirely because I watched your game. You are so awesome!"

"This game will definitely attract the attention of the media. I noticed that you wore a baseball cap with the Yahoo logo printed on it before the post-game interview. You are really thoughtful!"

"Come on, let me introduce you, this is from Sequoia Capital."

Moritz introduced his friends to General Liu one by one. Most of these people are involved in the venture capital industry. They are relatively good connections and will definitely be used in the future.

Liu would be happy to make friends with such a person, and soon he was chatting and laughing with Moritz's friends.

Of course, he did not neglect the executives at Yahoo, and they all had a great time chatting with each other.

It didn't take long for Giuliani, the man in charge of New York, to come looking for him as if he smelled it.

He was not polite at all and squeezed into the circle a little stiffly.

Due to the identity of the other party, no one expressed any objections, but they were more cautious in speaking.

"John, come with me, I have something to tell you."

Perhaps Giuliani noticed that the atmosphere of the conversation had changed slightly, and he did not want to bring trouble to himself, so he took the initiative to invite General Liu to come and talk in detail.

General Liu suddenly felt a little confused. This guy must be trying to get him to switch to the Xiang Party. How should he refuse him?
However, Giuliani sincerely invited him, and he could not refute the other party's face.

The two came to a quiet corner and began to talk in detail.

"John, how did you think about my proposal last time?"

Giuliani asked directly without any ink.

"Mr. Mayor, I'm only nineteen years old, so I don't think much about it yet."

"I feel that my current situation is not suitable for making such a major decision. Can you let me think about it for a while?"

"By the way, my aunt has a family foundation in her name and is planning to donate to Italian politicians recently."

Liu Jiang rejected the other party in as tactful a tone as possible, and at the same time proposed his own terms of exchange.

He carefully observed Giuliani's face, fearing that the other party would suddenly turn his face away.

Giuliani frowned and glanced at General Liu with a meaningful look.

Seeing the cautious look on the other side, he knew that he was impatient and had frightened the other side.

It seems that General Liu cannot be pushed too hard, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

He sighed softly, and then a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"John, you're right, this kind of thing does require more thought."

"You are proud of being Italian and I will give you enough time!"

"If you have any ideas, you can call me anytime!"
