America is in control

Chapter 272: The tight crowd and no one dare to end easily

After eating and drinking, all the confidants had perfected their countermeasures and left the Irvine Villa one by one.

Harvey and Louis Little (the law firm partner who looked like Bugs Bunny) began to contact powerful boxing promotion companies to explore the possibility of cooperation.

Li Chengxiong rushed to New York with elite officers from several accounting firms, accompanied by several security personnel, to keep an eye on the progress of the allocation of appearance fees and the calculation of PPV shares.

Kemal is responsible for helping General Liu find a suitable public relations company or a powerful public relations consultant.

Jonathan continued to contact the media that he had cooperated with before, increased his efforts, spent money to buy space, win over media people, and initiated public opinion countermeasures.

Terry and Alfonso began to look for reliable professionals in the boxing field to tailor suitable signing terms for Liu.

At General Liu's instruction, Lei and Martin upgraded their security level and began to recruit trustworthy professionals to expand their security team.

Liu Jiang was not idle either. He and Connery mobilized their respective connections and invited Hollywood friends and several friends in the boxing circle to speak out for him.

"Hi, Nick, how are you doing? What do you mean you're in trouble again? I don't want to either! Please help me."

"Will, you know me. I will never discriminate against anyone, including African Americans."

"Bro, did you succeed last time with that Hollywood chick with the world's top plump lips? Did you succeed? Did you get into trouble?"

"Maikun, did you read today's news? Those guys almost lost all the scenes of you. Find a chance to train together."

After Connelly called a few friends in the industry, he turned his attention to TV.

Disney-owned ABC TV station is showing footage of last night's post-game press conference.

The video was carefully edited to highlight the Black Madonna and Lonnie Brandley's accusations against Liu.

The scene of Tyson's roar and General Liu's loud rebuttal only flashed by.

"John, are you really okay? The news on TV is too biased, and the black people will probably be incited!"

"This will definitely have a huge impact on your boxing career, and your next boxing road will be very difficult!"

"How about you turn the focus of your career to Hollywood! Develop in the direction of an ace producer. Anyway, you have also achieved success in Hollywood."

"Professional boxing is, after all, an extremely competitive and cruel sport. I don't want to see you fighting to the death in the ring again!"

Connery took advantage of Liu Jiang's call to persuade him softly.

"Honey, how can Hollywood be any better? There are so many conspiracies, intrigues, and all kinds of tricks!"

"No matter which circle you are in, things like this happen all the time! There is only so much good meat, you have to grab it if you want to eat it!"

"Don't worry! Baby, I have made preparations in advance. If my opponent wants to take me away in one wave? There is no way!"

Liu Jiang showed his domineering attitude, looked at Connery with piercing eyes, and said very confidently.

He obtained the complete video of the post-match press conference immediately.

The media that has done public relations in advance will take turns to broadcast this complete video in the next period of time.

Not only that, Liu Jiang also found someone to edit some quite explosive clips and put them on the Internet for dissemination.

That old fox Bob wants to cover up the sky with one hand, cover up the truth with lies, and confuse right and wrong. It is simply impossible!

After hearing the other party's answer, Connery pursed his lips slightly, feeling a little unhappy, and turned his head to look away.

General Liu didn't take it seriously when he saw Big Cream Cake having a little temper. He would not follow the other party's advice on this matter.

The boxing career is related to his fundamentals, and he will never give up!
Liu Jiang glanced at the newspapers spread out on the table, and various sensational headlines came into view again.

"Counting down the seven sins of boxing's new bad boy Caesar who discriminates against black people!" 》

"The slave master of the new era wields his bloody whip again!" 》

"Flesh Mill?" When a black boxer steps into the ring with a new Caesar! 》

"Faced with groundless slander, the new Caesar John and Beast Tyson stand together!" 》

Although he had already taken a rough look at it, General Liu couldn't help but feel his temples jump.

The ratio of negative reports to positive reports about myself is about seven to three.

This result was achieved after he had arranged it in advance. It can only be said that it is barely acceptable!
In the field of traditional media, there is no way for my own power to compete with Bob.

But if you add the emerging Internet media, the two forces can still barely compete with each other.

As long as public opinion does not form a one-sided situation, then you still have room to resist.

As time goes by, and as he keeps throwing away money, the truth of the matter will be made public sooner or later.

As long as he resists the first wave of slander, the balance of victory will tilt to his side sooner or later.

At this moment, Liu Jiang's cell phone suddenly rang. When he picked it up, he saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

After pressing the answer button, he briefly chatted with the other party and hung up the phone.

"Honey, I have a task for you!"

General Liu looked at Connery, who was a little unhappy, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Hmph! Aren't you quite capable? You don't even listen to my suggestions! Besides, I'm not your subordinate!"

The anger in Connery's heart was still not clear. She turned half sideways, glanced at General Liu, and said with slight dissatisfaction.

This tiger girl now crossed her arms across her chest, highlighting the gift of the Creator even more majestic.

Liu Jiang's eyes widened when he saw this scene. He pursed his lips and said cheerfully.

"Baby! Choose a new love nest for us in Beverly Hills!"

Hearing this, Connery almost jumped for joy, a trace of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.

"really?"

"Of course!"

After receiving a positive reply from the other party, Connelly ignored her reservations. She hugged General Liu's neck and gave him a sweet kiss.

What happens next can only be understood but not expressed!
The day after the boxing championship unification fight, Liu will continue to stay in his Irvine villa, waiting for feedback from his confidants. The situation outside is not very clear now, so staying at home is the safest option.

The first person to get the news was Alfonso. The staff of "The Ring" magazine called and said that Top Promotions had withdrawn Liu's application for Fighter of the Year.

This time the award completely came to nothing, but General Liu didn't care, he didn't value these honors very much in the first place.

Compared with the real benefits, this honor is not worth mentioning at all.

Next, Harvey and Louis Little also sent back a piece of news to General Liu, which was not good news.

They first contacted Main Event Promotions, and the person responsible for hosting the two men was Louis Dewar, Sweet Pea Burnell's boxing promoter.

Dua is the boss of a major event promotion company and had left general Liu’s contact information before.

After some cautious exchanges, Harvey and Louis Little informed each other of General Liu's intention to switch sides.

But to the surprise of the two, Dua did not show too much excitement. He just asked about the details of the post-match press conference.

Harvey and Louis Little told each other the truth of the matter, but what they received in return was still a lukewarm attitude.

The two of them looked at each other and knew that they probably wouldn't be able to achieve any decent results today.

They did not make any further attempts. After leaving their contact information, they said goodbye to the other party.

Du Wa suddenly made a request. He wanted to have a phone call with General Liu in person.

Harvey and Louis Little didn't know what the other party was thinking, and they didn't dare to make the decision for General Liu, so they sent the news back.

General Liu didn't say much, it was just a phone call, nothing important.

He asked the two of them to continue to contact the next boxing promotion company, then took out the business card left by Louis Duva and called them.

"Hello, are you Mr. Dewar from the Main Event Promotion Company? My name is John Liu."

"John, long time no see! I heard that you had a bad quarrel with the top promotion company recently. Is it because of the contract?"

"Almost! My first contract is about to expire in four months! Bob wants to renew my contract, but the conditions he gave me are not satisfactory to me!"

"Is it because of this? He's so ruthless and wants to completely ruin you, isn't he?"

"The devil knows what he thinks! He can do whatever he likes! Anyway, as long as I survive these four months, I will be free again!"

"John, do you really plan to leave the top promotion company? The other party is the top person in the promotion company, and you were promoted by Bob."

"It is undeniable that Top Promotions and Bob have indeed provided me with a lot of help, but those are not the decisive factors for my success. Without him, I can still have a good time!"

"John, to be honest, I am very interested in you! But I also have some concerns. You also know that Bob has a huge power in the professional boxing world. Before the situation is clear, who will start a substantial relationship with you first?" Whoever negotiates will bear Bob’s wrath, you know what I mean?”

"Uh! Are you saying that I have to express my attitude first and break up with the top promotion company before other promotion companies will come to an end?"

"Almost! Someone has to be the first to step forward. No promotion company will take risks for an unknown possibility. Instead of placing your hopes on others, why not go out and pierce this window paper yourself!"

"I see what you mean, Mr. Dewar!"

"John, I'm very optimistic about you! I look forward to you joining the main event promotion company!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jiang fell into deep thought. He benefited a lot from the brief call with Dua just now.

The other party was right. None of the people in charge of boxing promotion companies were fools. He thought of this matter a bit too simply.

Although Bob has mobilized public opinion and begun to try his best to discredit himself, he has not completely fallen out with the other party.

It makes sense that those boxing promotion companies would be wary and not want to be the first to go.

But how should I express my attitude? Tooth for tooth, eye for eye? Slamming Bob publicly in the media?

It doesn’t seem to work! Although Bob is somewhat famous in the professional boxing circle, he is not a boxing star after all. Not many people know this old fox, so it is probably useless to criticize him!
This kind of behavior is a typical thankless thing. Although you have expressed your attitude to those promotion companies, the impact it has is limited and you will get a bad reputation, which is not something a wise person would do.

To complain to the public through the media? He said that he was being persecuted by top promotion companies and was overwhelmed, so he might consider retiring? Put the pressure on Bob?
There is nothing wrong with this kind of operation, but it just seems a bit too girly, which is not in line with my previous image, and affects my prestige among boxing fans.

After all, no boxing fan would worship a sissy boxing champion!
never mind! never mind! Don’t use this method unless absolutely necessary! Not only will it cause a huge blow to your own image, but if the lie turns out to be true, your fundamentals will collapse!

Liu Jiang thought about it and couldn't think of any good solution.

In the end, he decided to wait and wait for Harvey and Louis Little to make contact with powerful boxing promotion companies.

If there is really a fool who is willing to come forward, wouldn't he just sit back and enjoy his success?

It is a pity that the development of things often does not depend on human will!
In the next few days, Harvey and Louis Little traveled to various major boxing promotion companies in the United States, but they did not make any substantial progress.

The old guy Donkin did some tricks. When the two came to the door, the gangster actually planned to bribe Harvey and Louis Little.

At the same time, he explored the details of General Liu's last contract and the renewal conditions that Bob proposed for General Liu.

Fortunately, Harvey and Louis Little were cautious enough and did not leak any words, which made Don King feel embarrassed.

You can tell with your buttocks what the old guy is planning, and it's obvious that he just wants to take advantage of the situation.

Liu Jiang had a vague feeling that this gangster not only wanted to eat him up, but also wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on Bob.

Contact with major boxing promotion companies was not going well, so Liu made an immediate decision and asked Harvey and Louis Little to return to Los Angeles to discuss the next step.

This is not the only bad news that came during this period. There were also problems with some of the platforms and ribbon-cutting events that Terry had negotiated for General Liu.

Many people in charge of shopping malls and gyms called and tore up the cooperation agreements between the two parties.

With Liu Jiang's current net worth, the small platform fee is really not worth it.

After learning the lesson from last time, he specifically asked Terry to set the liquidated damages for this type of business activities very high.

After calculating this, Liu Jiang not only did not lose money, but actually earned a lot of liquidated damages.

Li Chengxiong's progress in New York was not very smooth either. The appearance fee for Liu's last boxing title unification fight had already been transferred to the account of a third-party organization before the game.

But even so, a lot of troubles still occurred.

The third-party institution that originally handled things smoothly began to delay the transfer progress intentionally or unintentionally.

As for the calculation of PPV sharing, it is even more difficult to explain. After so many days, the top promotion company has not even come up with some basic data.
