Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 641 - 465: Boxing Match Begins
After several days of training, the IBF challenger qualifier began, and Link, accompanied by his logistics team, went to the Las Vegas competition, while Ivanka took the helm at Lionsgate Films.
Like Taylor, Ivanka also disliked attending the boxing matches in person, even though Link had never failed and always won cleanly and swiftly, saying she couldn't find any fun in being there.
After arriving at the company, Ivanka called several members of the management to a meeting.
President Steven Bicks, Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer Michael Burns, Chief Operating Officer Brian Goldsmith, Vice President and Head of Marketing Stacy Schneider, among others, arrived one after another.
The agenda of the meeting was to put the acquisition plan of Summit Entertainment on hold and to consider acquisition opportunities in the future.
Ivanka stated several reasons why it was not suitable to proceed with the acquisition and then asked for everyone's opinions.
President Steven Bicks expressed his support, agreeing that with the company's current financial status, it was indeed not a suitable time for an acquisition.
Ms. Stacy Schneider thought that the development plan Lionsgate Films was executing, established in May, didn't include the acquisition of Summit Entertainment, so it wasn't suitable for the time being.
Chief Operating Officer Goldsmith also nodded in agreement.
Only Chief Strategy Officer Burns raised a question:
whether to abandon the acquisition entirely or just delay it.
Ivanka stated it was a delay, and they would consider the plan to merge with other companies once the company was on a stable development track.
At that time, the targets for acquisition would not be limited to just Summit Entertainment.
Michael Burns said that delaying the acquisition of Summit was acceptable. However, as Lionsgate Films is the largest independent production company in Hollywood, the most effective way to grow and expand at the current stage is through acquisitions.
If they didn't consider domestic film production companies, they could think about international ones to strengthen Lionsgate Films' distribution capabilities in overseas regions.
After thinking it over, Ivanka found the suggestion appealing. The overseas film market was a big opportunity, and if they had the chance to get involved, it would greatly benefit the development of Lionsgate Films.
She asked Vice President Burns to discuss with the Chief Operating Officer of International Business, Jamie Jones, and produce an overseas market expansion plan along with a detailed acquisition proposal to bring to the board for discussion.
After the meeting ended, Ivanka returned to the President's office, where her assistant Xina reported that Miss Tiffany had arrived, winking and pointing under the desk.
Just as she said this, with an "Ah!" a round-faced female zombie jumped out from under the desk, with deep black eye circles, pale white eyeballs, blood-drenched lips and chin, and many open wounds on her skin.
The female zombie leapt towards Ivanka, clawing and baring her teeth.
"What are you doing?"
Ivanka frowned and asked Tiffany.
Seeing she hadn't scared her, Tiffany unenthusiastically withdrew her hands and said, "I just got back from the set, your Lionsgate Films' set, where I was playing a zombie. Do you think I look the part?"
"You don't, go wash your face."
Ivanka pointed to the washroom nearby.
"Okay then!"
Tiffany shrugged her shoulders and walked away but then suddenly jumped up, flopped onto Xina's desk, and clawed at Xina, who was startled and quickly grabbed a folder to smack Tiffany's hands, screaming for the zombie to get away.
Seeing Xina resist, Tiffany got even more excited and pretended to bite her neck.
"Stop messing around."
Ivanka shouted, holding her forehead.
Having satisfied her mischievous urge, Tiffany laughed heartily, let go of Xina, and went to wash and remove her makeup. When she returned to the office, she had reverted to her plump, round-faced self.
"I checked, and you're supposed to be at Ms. Alice's place for piano lessons right now."
From behind the desk, Ivanka looked up and said.
At the mention of piano lessons, Tiffany's round face wrinkled into a frown, regretting coming over to play since Ivanka was no fun at all.
"Yes, but that was last month's schedule. I've started school now, and the piano lessons went from two a week to once a week, I can adjust them anytime."
Tiffany said, rotating her eyes.
"You'd better not be lying to me."
Ivanka glanced at her and continued to read emails, mainly weekly work reports from various company departments, which helped her stay up-to-date with the latest company developments.
"I'm not, I've been very good, why would I lie to you?"

Tiffany smiled sweetly, pulled over an office chair, and lay across the desk, playing with a crystal ball on the desk and looking at the photo frame with Link's and Ivanka's photos. The man was tall and handsome, the woman was beautiful and alluring – a perfect match.
"Why didn't Link come? Is he at the club training?"
Tiffany turned her head and asked.
"Today he's participating in a boxing match in Las Vegas."
Ivanka replied.
"Oh, I remember now. The last time I talked with Selena, she said Link's boxing matches are boring, he always wins, and very quickly at that, like he's bullying the others."
Tiffany said with a mischievous smile, asking Ivanka for a computer to watch the live stream.
Ivanka handed her an Apple laptop.
The match was being held at the MGM Grand Hotel, scheduled for 3 PM, and it was now 2:30 PM, with the match about to start.
The current segment was the media interview, with Link, sporting his strong torso and wearing boxing shorts, donning golden gloves, taking questions from media reporters below the stage.
The host from HBO, Steve Mandanda, asked Link if he was confident about the match.
Link said yes and mentioned it had been a while since he saw Mandanda, inquiring how his work had been lately.
Mandanda replied that it was going great and thanked him for his concern.
