America is in control

Chapter 43 The professional boxing circle is more shady than the entertainment industry

Huh! Why is it that what my uncle said is similar to the routines of young people in the entertainment industry in previous lives?
Liu Jiang thought about it carefully and found that the underlying logic of the two circles was surprisingly consistent.

A professional boxing match is just like a movie!
The boxers they fight are equal to actors and directors, the boxing agent is equal to the brokerage company, and the boxing promoter is equal to the film and television company.

It’s just that the professional boxing circle seems to be more closed and shady!
Now I am equivalent to a new actor who just graduated from a top art school, handsome and talented.

I am considering whether to accept the solicitation from a film and television giant.

And this film and television giant is still a brokerage company and film and television company.

If you think about it this way, isn't it simple?
sign! Why not sign it!
After figuring out the key, General Liu was instantly enlightened.

As long as you don't let yourself sign a ten or twenty-year contract of betrayal, there is still room for maneuver in everything.

If a top promotion company wants to get its own agent and boxing promoter at the same time, no problem!

It’s not like I can only have one agent. I can definitely learn from CAA’s approach, where multiple agents serve the same actor.

As long as you have an agent by your side who can put yourself in your shoes, you won't be completely controlled.

At the same time, the shorter the contract period, the better. You must also provide yourself with top coaching resources and a logistics team.

And arrange for yourself to challenge the boxing champion in the shortest possible time.

Since Bob values ​​his potential so much, it is not impossible to force the other party to compromise on these conditions.

In order to achieve this goal, you can even make some compromises on the sharing ratio.

General Liu has a headache when he thinks about contract negotiations.

The laws in the United States are complicated and complicated, and I am completely blind!

Commercial contracts drafted by large companies are particularly hard hit, as they are covered with countless traps and ambiguities.

It would be your worst nightmare if you don’t have a professional lawyer you can trust to help you review your contract.

Counting on Anthony? Not realistic at all!
He is just a high school student who aspires to go to Harvard Law School. Maybe he can help him in the future.

But now it is obviously not possible.

Maybe ask Alfonso if he has any lawyer friends he can trust.

General Liu thought for a long time and suddenly looked up at Alfonso.

"Uncle, do you have a lawyer you are familiar with? One who is proficient in business contracts and negotiations. You must be trustworthy."

Alfonso was looking at the other person with bright eyes, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Liu Jiang's sudden question made him a little stunned for a moment.

"No! You do it again!"

"I'm just a truck driver. Where can I find a lawyer who is proficient in business contracts and negotiations?"

"Have you made up your mind? Are you ready to sign a contract with a top promotion company?"

Under General Liu's expectant eyes, Alfonso shook his head quickly and asked in surprise.

"I'm prepared to sign a contract with a big company, but I won't necessarily hang myself from a tree."

"I will sign a contract with whoever offers good conditions!"

“So I needed a lawyer who was proficient in business contracts and negotiations.”

Liu Jiang replied calmly that his attitude had changed, but the bottom line that should be adhered to could not be breached.

"Didn't you consult a patent attorney about the gadget you made before?"

"He may know some lawyers who are proficient in commercial contracts and negotiations. After all, they are all in the same circle."

Alfonso suddenly had an idea and made a suggestion for General Liu.

yes! People in the same circle have a much higher chance of knowing each other.

Maybe the patent lawyer named Harvey can surprise him.

It's getting late now, and I wonder if the phone number in Harvey's office can still be reached. Liu Jiang picked up the landline beside the bed and dialed a number according to the memory in his mind.

Unexpectedly, the phone only rang once and the call was connected.

"Hello, this is Harvey Spector Law Firm, your one-stop legal service station. How can I help you?"

"Hey, I'm John, the boxer who asked you to apply for the patent. Do you still remember me?"

"Of course, are you calling this time to inquire about the progress of the patent application?"

"Has the patent application been applied for? By the way, I actually want to ask you for a favor."

"It's not that fast! But the progress is pretty good. It's already reached the preliminary review. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

"A boxing promotion company wants to sign a contract with me, and I want to find a lawyer who is proficient in business contracts and negotiations to help me. Do you have the resources in this area?"

"Of course, let me make an appointment for you! This matter must be discussed in person."

"Okay."

After Liu Jiang and Harvey agreed on a time, they hung up the phone.

It seems that there is hope of solving the lawyer's problem.

Alfonso saw Liu Jiang's face looking happy after finishing the call, but he still didn't understand what happened.

He felt instantly relaxed, and his face showed a little sleepiness unconsciously.

Upon seeing this, General Liu immediately said goodbye to the other party and left Alfonso's room.

When he lay down on his big bed, he unconsciously planned the future in his mind.

If you can successfully sign a contract with a top promotion company.

Then he must gain enough records in the shortest time to get the qualification to challenge the boxing champion.

As long as you become a famous boxing champion, the road ahead will be easy.

At the same time, during his time in a top promotion company, he must accumulate enough power to protect himself and develop.

It is best to build your own logistics team.

For more professional positions, try to find insiders who don’t have that deep relationship with top promotion companies.

As for other positions, they will be assigned to people who are closer to you.

You can even ask Alfonso and Melissa to help you introduce some people.

As long as the logistics team is built and has enough strength and reputation.

When the contract deadline is up, you will have enough choices whether you want to renew the contract, change companies, or just go solo.

This is actually a strategy of using chicken to lay eggs, similar to the one he used against Robert.

It just depends on whether the lawyer introduced by Harvey is effective!

If Bob, that old fox, can be brought to heel, his first step in professional boxing will be taken.

But Bob is not easy to deal with!

He graduated from Harvard Law School. Anyone who can graduate from that place is a fucking genius.

By the way, it would be best to help Anthony get a letter of recommendation from Harvard University during the contract negotiation.

Bob Arum’s letter of recommendation is not comparable to ordinary letters of recommendation.

Anthony is about to graduate, and this should be the best gift I can give him.

Thinking about it, Liu Jiang gradually fell into sleep.

　Thank you all for your rewards, monthly votes, and recommendation votes! thanks for your support!
