America is in control

Chapter 280 Increased intensity and unexpected appearance

After struggling for a whole day, the three parties, exhausted both physically and mentally, concluded the investigation and evidence collection before the trial.

"John, calm down, we will definitely win this lawsuit! But the process will definitely be extremely difficult!"

"The opponent will not miss any opportunity to delay the court date!"

"They just want to weaken our energy and set up various obstacles to make us retreat."

On the way back to the five-star hotel, Harvey leaned close to General Liu and said a few words of relief.

"Don't worry! Harvey, I have enough patience and the courage to persist to the end."

Liu Jiang nodded and responded. He knew it was not easy to win this lawsuit.

Bob's connections in New York's judicial circles are intricate and powerful.

Although I have collected enough evidence on my side, the United States has never been a country where justice is paramount.

Compared with the outcome of this lawsuit, Liu Jiang actually values ​​the broad social impact caused by this lawsuit.

In the previous life, the legal battle between Tyson and Don King dragged on for six years and finally ended with an out-of-court settlement.

The compensation Tyson received was far from what he originally requested. Isn't this something worth being vigilant about?
Therefore, litigation is just a means. The result of the lawsuit is neither important nor unimportant. The key is to achieve your own goal!
Back in the hotel room, Liu Jiang washed up and was just lying on the big bed, ready to rest for a while, when Alfonso came over.

"John, don't sleep! There's an emergency!"

Liu Jiang suddenly became energetic, jumped up from the bed, and came to the outside room with Alfonso.

On the TV screen, a young white man was talking to the host. This was an evening talk show on ABC TV.

"New Caesar John? Come On! He's not that clean! I know all about the dirty things he did before he became famous."

"I was one of the assistant referees in charge of the lightweight division during the Golden Gloves National Championship that year. In the finals, John was clearly outmatched by his opponent. He was about to lose. Guess what?"

"While taking advantage of a break in the round, John asked his coach at the time for a bottle of a very suspicious and unidentified liquid. He was so nervous that he couldn't even hold the bottle of water."

"Later, John suddenly became extremely brave. Compared with his previous performance, he didn't look like the same person. The final result of the game can be imagined. He easily killed his opponent."

"That's not the most disgusting thing! John, who won the Golden Gloves National Lightweight Championship, immediately turned his back after the game and fired the coach who scouted him."

"So, it doesn't surprise me that New Caesar John chose to backstab his own parent company when he was at the height of his popularity! He is just a despicable person, a shameful traitor, and a rat in the gutter."

Unknowingly, General Liu's eyes turned red and he was breathing heavily.

Telling lies with open eyes? Confusing right and wrong? This is too outrageous! I bought a watch last year!

But I have to say that the top promotion companies are really good at this! Bob and Brandon are so damn vicious!
This fake news is extremely deceptive. Once it spreads, it will definitely cause a devastating blow to his boxing career.

But fortunately, after all these years, I still have the game video and a series of evidence in my hands.

That’s ironic! This series of evidence was only collected by me at Brandon's suggestion!
I don’t know if the grandson had any thoughts at that time, no! We need to protect the evidence quickly! Let Harvey check it out again!
"Uncle, please go back to Los Angeles quickly and make a few more copies of the evidence from that year. Then hide the originals and give the copies to Robin Seyfried. She knows what to do."

"Lei, send out a few security personnel to escort my uncle back to Los Angeles, and at the same time ask the security personnel staying in Los Angeles to be more vigilant."

"Harvey, find this guy who's talking nonsense on the TV show and send him a lawyer's letter and sue him! I want to see him go bankrupt."

General Liu looked serious and gave orders to his confidants.

Immediately afterwards, he called Connery, his aunt Melissa, Robin Seyfried and others and confessed.

All the confidants knew that the matter was urgent, and there was no need for General Liu to say anything. Everyone acted quickly, and the lights in the hotel room did not go out for a long time.

In the next few days, public opinion fermented rapidly, and the situation surged in an unpredictable direction.

Rumors began to spread that Liu would use no-no tactics and backstab coaches at the Golden Gloves Nationals.

Although Liu Jiang's response was quite timely, the complete game video was released the day after the program was broadcast.

A series of relevant evidence has also been made public one after another.

But Bob and Brandon, a pair of weaklings, have exerted all their efforts this time. They not only spent a lot of money, but also used deep personal connections.

All of a sudden, rumors were flying all over the sky, no matter how hard we tried, they couldn't be extinguished!
General Liu also became aggressive and began to receive announcements non-stop, constantly appearing in trustworthy media, including Crazy Diss Top Promotions and Bob Arum.

The boxing superstar personally went off to tear up his parent company and boss, and the American people were mesmerized by the spectacle.

The public opinion field in the United States is also polarized. Celebrities and opinion leaders from all walks of life have taken sides, cheering and cheering for the side they support.

The public opinion field in the United States suddenly turned into a battlefield of fierce fighting, and it was so lively!
Time passed like this day by day, and Liu Jiang tried his best to barely keep the situation from collapsing.

But Bob's power is too great. He can't stand alone, and the whole situation is developing in an increasingly unfavorable direction.

Seeing that this was not going to be a problem, General Liu gritted his teeth and dialed the number of New York Mayor Giuliani.

After promising many benefits to the other party, the progress of the PPV sharing lawsuit suddenly accelerated.

As the PPV sharing lawsuit progressed step by step, a tabloid bribed the staff of a local court in New York and obtained all the details of Liu's contract and supplementary terms.

The tabloid couldn't wait to make the contents of the contract public, which attracted the attention of many boxers in the boxing circle.

On this day, Liu Jiang suddenly received a call from Oscar De La Hoya.

"John, you've been making quite a fuss lately!"

Hoya's slightly teasing voice came from the mobile phone microphone.

"That bastard Bob brought it all on himself! Hoya, you must have seen how he dealt with me!"

"Be careful! Don't get in his way, this old fox is not a good person!"

"At the same time, keep an eye on your own wallet. This old guy is very good at stealing money!"

Liu Jiang frowned, feeling a little unhappy. Is the other party just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously?

But he didn't show anything unusual, he just took the opportunity to put a thorn in Hoya's heart.

"John, it's not easy for Bob to steal my money! After all, I only have appearance fees and no PPV share of the game."

"The appearance fee is fixed, so it's very difficult to do any tricks. I'm not too worried about this."

"By the way, is it true that the supplementary terms of the contract you signed with the top promotion company in that tabloid are true? The PPV was divided into 37 points. How did you do it at that time?" Hearing General Liu's warning, De La Hoya was a little embarrassed. He has no chance of having his money stolen by Bob.

Using this conversation, he asked the other party about the PPV share and what means were needed to achieve this goal.

"Bro, are you kidding me? Don't you even get a PPV share?"

"This doesn't make sense! Logically speaking, your reputation is no worse than mine, and you have won several gold belts."

"Ugh! I can only say that Bob, the old fox, is too petty! The content of that report is correct. The PPV sharing ratio between me and the top promotion company is indeed 37%. I really don't know where that tabloid got such accurate information. .”

"You ask me how I did it? Of course I worked hard to get it! With Bob's old fox nature, how can he take the initiative to give up profits? Stop daydreaming, man!"

Realizing that Hoya was a little depressed in his words, General Liu had an idea. This might be an opportunity, and he began to carefully guide the other party's emotions.

"John, to be honest, I'm a little confused too! I feel like I'm qualified enough, but Bob has never mentioned any PPV sharing to me!"

"Sometimes I really can't figure it out! Why do we boxers fight desperately in the ring, spend countless blood and sweat, and take the greatest risks, but we can only get so little profit from the game."

"This is neither fair nor reasonable! I also want a remuneration that is consistent with my identity and status! John, can you tell me how you forced Bob to submit?"

Hoya began to express his bitterness. Perhaps he had already had similar thoughts in his heart. After General Liu guided him like this, he suddenly burst out with all the words that should be said and should not be said.

"Bro, you spoke my mind! I think so too! But unlike you, I choose to take practical action!"

"Bob, that old fox, is just a paper tiger. There is nothing to be afraid of! He regards us as a cash cow. This is his biggest weakness!"

"As long as you act a little tougher at certain critical moments and withstand the pressure he exerts so that he cannot benefit from you, he will choose to give in."

"This is a little bit of my experience. I hope it helps you! Remember, you must choose the most critical moment, otherwise he will drag you to death."

General Liu turned on all his firepower, fired crazily, and tried his best to bewitch.

"John, I'm not someone who only talks big words but doesn't know how to take action. I have the courage and determination to fight for the benefits I deserve. Don't underestimate me!"

"However, can you make it clearer? When is the most critical moment? Before my next boxing match is finalized? Or when my contract is about to expire?"

"Or when the top promotion company is in trouble and old guy Bob is trying to wipe his ass?"

Hoya let go completely, and his ambition was fully exposed. His determination to fight for interests was still quite firm, and he directly asked General Liu for advice.

"Hoya, are you serious? That old fox Bob is not easy to mess with! If you are not fully prepared, I don't recommend you to launch blindly."

"That old guy's methods are extremely despicable and shameless! Think about it carefully, is there anything in his hands?"

"If you don't have any weak points that are being pinched by him, I suggest forget it! You should choose the time to rebel by yourself, lest something goes wrong and you blame me again and affect our friendship!"

Liu Jiang showed that he put himself in the other person's shoes and had a good sense of proportion.

"John, I have been in a top promotion company for many years. There must be a lot of small problems, but there should be no big ones."

"Let me tell you the truth! I want to win the PPV share for more than a day or two, and I have made some preparations."

"I couldn't make up my mind before. It wasn't until I saw what happened to you that I desperately wanted to change!"

"Your worries are reasonable. Otherwise, how about you help me analyze it and I can choose the timing of activation?"

Hoya still wants to listen to General Liu's advice, a typical example of never looking back until you hit the wall!
"Well! Now that you've said so, I can't shirk it anymore. Let's start with the analysis of the first moment you chose. The expected benefits of the opponent's popularity game."

"The one who currently has the right to challenge is, but I want to fight in the next game. Uh! Forget it, I want to use this game to force Bob to submit, but I also know that it is impossible."

"How long until your contract expires?"

"A few more years."

"Then you're talking nonsense!"

"John, is now the best time?"

"If it were me, I would probably attack Bob at this time."

After hanging up the phone with Hoya, Liu Jiang raised the corners of his mouth. He was really sleepy, so he gave me a pillow!

If the other party really launches a rebellion at this critical moment as he said on the phone, he should be able to give Bob a surprise!

However, the friendship between the two is not yet to the point where they can trust each other back-to-back. Many details still need to be communicated, and mutual explanations are also necessary.

After discussing with their confidants, General Liu and De La Hoya launched a round of close negotiations, conducted a series of limited mutual disclosures, and made some commitments.

The two reached a temporary offensive and defensive alliance, targeting of course the top promotion company and Bob's old fox.

Liu will want to break free from Bob's shackles and completely escape the quagmire of Top Promotions.

De La Hoya wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble and strive for better treatment and the benefits he deserves.

It can be said that the two of them can benefit from both cooperation and harm from separation. It makes sense that they can finally join forces.

After reaching an offensive and defensive alliance, De La Hoya quickly took action. He began to complain in the media about his treatment at the top promotion company.

"Mr. De La Hoya, what do you think about the conflict that broke out between John and Top Promotions?"

"How can I see it! In the end, it's all about money!"

"Are you saying John is too greedy?"

"Of course not! As one of the top boxers in the United States, John deserves this treatment. To be honest, I envy him! Although they are both in the same promotion company, I even get a share of the PPV."

"Mr. De La Hoya, are you kidding me? You are the 'Golden Boy'! Your reputation is no worse than John's, and you don't even get a PPV share?"

"Maybe I'm just a 'second-rate' boxer!"

Looking at the scene of Hoya being interviewed on TV, Liu Jiang's eyes flashed.

The other party has handed over the certificate of nomination, and now it is his turn to show his sincerity.

He took out his cell phone and dialed Harvey's number.

"The time has come! Let's take action!"
