America is in control

Chapter 275: Underworld Filter and Signing with Ernst & Young

With a sudden change in momentum, General Liu suddenly opened his eyes like an ancient beast that had been sleeping for a long time.

His brows were furrowed, his piercing gaze focused on a certain place in the void, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees in an instant.

This sudden transition between ice and fire stunned Meredith, who was standing next to General Liu.

She felt as if she had been suddenly thrown from the pleasant climate of Hawaii to the ice and snow of Las Vegas.

Goosebumps appeared one after another on her arms, and Meredith looked at General Liu in surprise.

"I know! I'll rush back to Los Angeles right away!"

Liu Jiang replied with a gloomy face and a very firm tone, and then hung up the phone in a hurry.

When he turned around, a warm smile appeared on his handsome face again.

"John, is everything really okay?"

"Of course, this little thing can't trouble me!"

"Uh! John, do you have time later? I'd like to invite you to a party."

"Next time! Mrs. Kane, there's something going on over there in Los Angeles."

On the latest flight, Liu returned to Los Angeles with Robin Seyfried and a group of security personnel.

"Perhaps out of jealousy, or perhaps wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, those black students... Oh, no, they should be called black unemployed youths now. Instigated by a small New York lawyer, they launched a lawsuit against you. It was intentional harm.”

Harvey, who rushed back from New York, came to the Irvine Villa immediately and introduced the details of the lawsuit to General Liu.

"Bob can dig up old things from four years ago. It seems like he has been planning this for a long time!"

Liu Jiang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said.

"Don't worry! They won't win this case! I guess their purpose of doing this is to cooperate with the public opinion to smear it."

Harvey's firm answer made General Liu relax a little, but his next words made everyone frown.

At this moment, Robin Seyfried's cell phone suddenly rang. She answered the call, and after a moment, her expression changed drastically.

"John, turn on the TV! Watch the news! There's an emergency!"

Alfonso reacted quickly enough and pressed the TV switch with a click.

It is still the familiar ABC TV station. The picture shows the new Caesar boxing fans with the roaring golden lion heads printed on their chests confronting the black group. The emotions on both sides are very excited, and there is a lot of tension and tension.

“According to an unnamed source, after the post-fight press conference, a large-scale conflict broke out between New Caesar’s boxing fans and the protesting black group, and John shouted to his boxing fans before the conflict broke out. .”

A photo of Liu Jiang persuading his boxing fans suddenly appeared on the TV screen. The photo was taken from a very tricky angle.

It highlights General Liu as an evil villain who launches mobilization against his subordinates with all his teeth and claws.

All that is left in the picture is the mess on the ground, and many black people lying on the ground wailing uncontrollably.

"What The Fxxk! The scenes from the underworld and the deliberate editing are too obvious! This is simply a slander by Chiguoguo."

Liu Jiang twitched the corners of his mouth, with a mocking look on his face, and cursed through gritted teeth.

With the exception of Robin Seyfried, no one else in the living room was too excited.

"John, do you have complete video of this conflict?"

The crisis public relations expert reacted quickly and asked General Liu.

"Uh! Just in case, we did leave some video data at that time. Unexpectedly, this came in handy."

Liu Jiang laughed and confirmed this matter. After all, Robin Seyfried had just joined his side not long ago. Who knows what his character is like.

He wouldn't dare reveal all his trump cards to the other party!
Robin Seyfried wasn't impressed either, demanding to see the full video of the confrontation.

"Not allowed here! Not allowed here either! John, you don't want to offend the LAPD, do you?"

"I think we can just cut out all the scenes after the LAPD arrived, leaving only the part before."

While watching, Robin Seyfried offered advice.

"Of course, I'll do as you say!"

General Liu nodded and agreed. The LAPD who came to disperse those black groups were his friendly forces!

How could it possibly get the other person into trouble? He's not stupid!

"Leave the countermeasures in terms of public opinion to me! This time my opponent won't be able to make any waves!"

Robin Seyfried said confidently.

"John, I can take care of the lawsuit. The third-party agency has Louis Little watching over it, so it won't be a big problem."

"I feel that we have not given the top promotion companies enough shock, and we must increase our efforts!"

"We can't let Bob act so recklessly again! We must teach him a painful lesson!"

Harvey took over the conversation and made a suggestion to Liu Jiang.

"Oh? What do you think?"

General Liu was obviously interested. He stared at Harvey with sharp eyes and asked.

To be honest, he couldn't stand it anymore. He was about to be beaten to the ground by a combination of punches when he saw the smear scandal.

Who knew that Bob, that old fox, would come up with a new trick, even though he could handle this with his previous preparations.

But this sign is very wrong! The opponent has already begun to dig up dirt on himself, and who knows what new tricks the opponent will play next.

Bob must be reined in and stop this dangerous behavior, otherwise things are likely to develop in an unpredictable direction.

"Check the accounts! The PPV sharing calculation for this boxing champion unification fight has been delayed for a long time. It's time to resolve this mess!"

"Not only that, the PPV shares of the previous games will have to be re-audited!"

"Didn't Li say it before? There are a lot of tricks in the PPV split, so we will aim our guns at it!"

A stern look flashed in Harvey's eyes, and he said expressionlessly.

"Just do it! Check him! But..."

General Liu's eyes lit up. Harvey's suggestion spoke to his heart. He had thought about checking the accounts before.

It’s not just a day or two for top promotion companies to play tricks on PPV sharing.

You can take advantage of this opportunity to frighten the opponent and recover some of the losses at the same time.

But can Li Chengxiong and his accounting firm shoulder such a heavy responsibility?

Thinking of this, Liu Jiang turned to look at Li Chengxiong.

"Boss, the first time I settled the PPV revenue sharing with a top promotion company, I felt particularly strenuous!"

"Especially those overseas data, it's a complete mess!"

"After that, although my accounting firm expanded its scale with your support, it is still a little reluctant to cope with PPV sharing accounting!"

"Boss, if you want to figure out the tricks in PPV sharing, you need to sign up with a big accounting firm, preferably a top-notch, multinational one."

Li Chengxiong seemed to have expected this day. Instead of feeling embarrassed, he looked relieved. After taking a long breath, he expressed his thoughts to General Liu.

"Uncle Li, you are still my most trusted accountant. The boxing business will be separated from my personal business and handed over to..."

"Others, everything is business as usual. When this matter is completely over and the time is right, I will turn the boxing business back."

"By the way, the boxing promotion company that was previously under your relative's name can now be transferred to my name."

"By the way, let's change the name to New Caesar Boxing Promotion Company!"

Li Chengxiong's attitude made Liu Jiang very pleased. If it weren't for special circumstances, he wouldn't want to do this.

Now that they are all preparing to go to the top promotion company to audit the accounts, the two parties are now completely at odds.

General Liu didn't want to hide anymore, so he simply opened up his battle array and showed his flag.

If Bob still doesn't want to stop, he will be ready to fight back!
Tear up the contract signed with the top promotion company, pay a liquidated damages, and completely draw a line with Bob.

This planet will continue to rotate without anyone else! Liu Jiang didn't believe that he couldn't do anything after leaving the top promotion company!

“The question now is, which accounting firm should we go to?”

After looking around, Liu Jiang hoped that someone could give him another suggestion.

Time was tight and the tasks were heavy. He didn't have much time to investigate the specific situations of major accounting firms.

With the help of his confidants, Liu Jiang made a brief selection and finally targeted Ernst & Young Accounting Firm, which has a good reputation.

Ernst & Young is one of the four major international accounting firms, headquartered in London, and has little business dealings with top promotion companies.

A few years ago, Ernst & Young merged with a well-known local accounting firm in New York, inheriting all of the other party's connections and influence.

This is also the main reason why Liu Jiang finally chose it!

Soon, he met William Paton, chief partner of the Los Angeles office of Ernst & Young, at the Irvine Villa.

"John, I heard Michael Moritz from Sequoia Capital mention you and he admires you very much!"

William Paton is a middle-aged white man in his forties, somewhat bald, and full of energy.

He was wearing a crisp black suit and had hair wax on his hair, looking like a business elite.

As soon as they met, William Payton became close to General Liu, and he seemed to attach great importance to this potential customer.

"Mr. Moritz? I just talked to him not long ago, recently Yahoo."

General Liu shook hands with the other party and said a few polite words.

"John, what are your specific needs? During the phone call with you, I have a very limited understanding."

William Paton smiled and immediately turned to the topic.

"I plan to separate boxing from my personal business."

When talking about business, General Liu's expression became a little more serious.

"We will calculate it based on your appearance fee for each game, PPV share, endorsement and advertising revenue, etc."

"Charge according to a certain percentage. This is a standard calculation formula suitable for a boxing star like you."

As William Paton spoke, he took out the corresponding documents from the briefcase he carried with him and handed them to Harvey, Li Chengxiong and others.

Although the four major international accounting firms have different charging standards, they all have the same ethics for ordinary customers. Want to bargain? no way!
After Harvey and Li Chengxiong carefully checked the documents handed over by the other party, they nodded towards General Liu.

"I have no problem with this fee!"

Liu will motion to William Paton to continue.

"This is the cost of our audit hours"

The smile on his face grew brighter, and William Paton took out another document.

After the same operation, Liu Jiang confirmed all the cost issues raised by the other party.

You can’t bargain anyway, so why not be happy!
General Liu really didn't want to waste too much time with William Paton on these matters.

"Okay! Let's officially start working now!"

William Paton looked happy. He did not expect that this business would go so smoothly.

"No problem! I want your company to audit the PPV share of my previous games, including overseas data."

"As well as various financial consequences of breach of contract or de facto breach of contract caused by top promotion companies' fraud and deliberate delay in PPV share payment."

"By the way, if I break the contract, calculate the minimum liquidated damages I need to pay and suggestions for relevant legal actions."

While Liu Jiang expressed his needs, he glanced at Harvey beside him.

Harvey didn't write any ink and took out all the contracts signed with top promotion companies from his briefcase and placed them in front of William Payton.

"Wow! John, you really gave me a big surprise! Are you planning to completely fall out with the top promotion company?"

After listening to General Liu's words, William Paton's expression changed and he exclaimed.

As he spoke, he picked up the contract in front of him and read it.

"Are you afraid? Your Ernst & Young is one of the four major international accounting firms!"

General Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly used provocation to test the situation.

"How is that possible! Even if it is one of the world's top 500 companies, we at Ernst & Young will not be afraid! Let alone a top promotion company?"

William Paton restrained the slightly exaggerated expression on his face and said solemnly.

"I also need your company's professionals to cooperate with my staff to design the best signing conditions for me. This condition is open to all boxing promotion companies."

"No matter which boxing promotion company matches this signing condition, it can generate profits."

"Of course, the other party can't earn too much. It's best if it can equal my income, and the effort and reward are equal to achieve a win-win situation!"

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be acting, General Liu breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"Uh! Win-Win? This kind of statement is rare! But it's not difficult. What's really troublesome is..."

"John, have you considered this? When my men and I walk into the door of a top promotion company, the other party will probably go crazy. Can you handle it?"

"I'm not talking about low-level means like smearing and spreading rumors. The other party is likely to use some off-market tricks to retaliate against you from all aspects. Is there no problem with your cash flow?"

William Payton didn't know General Liu's true financial situation. Although he invested in Yahoo and made movies, he didn't know if he had any cash flow problems.

After all, General Liu's rise is too short. If he cannot withstand the revenge of the top promotion company, his cash flow is cut off, he loses power and goes bankrupt, then who can he get his compensation from?

"Don't worry! My cash flow is very healthy and I won't pay you less!"

Liu Jiang wanted to laugh a little. He now had tens of millions of dollars in his account, and his cash flow was extremely abundant.

"Good! Let's sign the contract then!"

William Paton saw that the other party was quite confident, and his doubts were slightly reduced.

　I will end this plot as soon as possible! The civil prosecution period in the United States varies from state to state, but the criminal prosecution period is generally 5 years. The information found is limited. If there are any mistakes or omissions, please forgive me!
