American Scandal King

Chapter 319: While the Heat is on

Compared with public discussions, major peers have maintained a generally consistent attitude of condemnation this time.

The New York Herald stated:
"Terrorism is a provocation to the US-led world order and must be curbed!"

Great! They avoid talking about the imprisonment and interrogation of a country's president and directly call it terrorism.

That's fine, that makes sense.

The New York Daily News stated:

"We must hold those responsible accountable for this incident."

The New York Daily News leans Democratic, so it directly criticized the White House leadership issues.

Today's World News, The New York Times, and The New York Herald all stated:

"We are deeply concerned about the injuries sustained by Mr. Ian Carr. Even in times of crisis, Mr. Carr faithfully fulfilled his duties as a man and behaved like a gentleman, bravely protecting Ms. Bellucci."

Why the hell should you release that video! Are you trying to show off that your family has inside information?
Sing Tao Daily stated:

"Ian Carr has once again become a news hotspot. His unique hot-button physique is the root of his status as a god-level reporter."

Wow, you start to believe in fate just because you can’t compete?
ABC News stated:
"There is currently no evidence to prove that Ian Carr saved Monica Bellucci, but even if that is true, it was he who brought the crisis upon himself."

This yin and yang is okay, but it's useless.

Monica Bellucci took responsibility for it herself, took the initiative throughout the whole process, and served very considerately. You should be envious and jealous.

FOX, CBS, and LANN all used the same rhetoric as the three major newspapers, and were even more direct:

"Even though Ian Carr was injured, he never forgot his duty and continued to fight on the front lines. He had traveled with Saddam Hussein, filmed his brutality and debauchery, and now he has watched him die with his own eyes."

"Let us observe a moment of silence for the great journalist Jin Qi. This is the journalistic spirit of Carl Media. In order to obtain frontline information, we would risk our lives!"

“For the great people’s right to know!”

Bullshit, if you have the guts, why don’t you work so hard for free?
As for China, the Southern faction continued to praise Ian.

This time, the praise was "Ian Carr is a real man, always protecting ladies first, this is a true gentleman."

It was a rare occasion when they got some flattery that Ian liked.

Major news networks such as NBC and CW also released their own comments and opinions.

Those who support the Republican Party are mainly responsible for condemning terrorism, while those who support the Democrats are responsible for condemning the incompetence of the White House.

Ian Carr is the hero again, along with Jon Brown and Kinch.

Some people therefore said: "It seems that next year's Pulitzer Prize is booked again, and it seems that Ian Carr will never win a Pulitzer."

Faced with all this, Ian just laughed.

At this time, Monica Bellucci has woken up.

She and Ian looked at the reports and comments side by side, and she chuckled, "You always stand at the center of public attention, Ian. You no longer belong to yourself, you belong to the whole world."

Ian hugged Monica and kissed her gently: "But after all, I am still me!"

While watching the news, the phone kept ringing.

There were constant calls from various close female friends, each with its own unique characteristics.

Lian Na said leisurely: "Tell me you didn't sleep with Bellucci."

Ian: "..."

Kate Beckinsale: "You're going to get hurt too?"

Ian: "On purpose. I need a hero."

Scarlett: "How does Bellucci taste?"

Ian: “Not as good as you.”

Monica Bellucci secretly pinched him.

Jessica Alba: "I missed you, Ian, and I'm coming to New York to see you!"

Ian: "You're not strong enough. I can't be on top."

Jessica Alba sighed: "Well, you should recover quickly."

It was always Rudolph Murdoch's concern that made him feel more at ease.

Rudolph Murdoch laughed: "You're always so good, Ian."

This sentence shows that he absolutely does not believe that all this is a coincidence, but what does it matter?
We are all partners.

Ian replied leisurely, "That's pretty much all my blockbuster releases this year."

Rudolf Murdoch understood: "That's enough, it's already excellent."

Although there are not many blockbusters this year, they are long-lasting and explosive enough that no one can be dissatisfied.

After talking to a bunch of people, Ian received a call from the White House: "President Bush wants to invite you to lunch. Are you available?"

Ian checked the time, then looked at Monica Bellucci beside him and said, "I'll need two hours." "Okay, sir."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Monica with a smile: "It's half an hour on the road, you still have an hour and a half."

Monica giggled: "Do you want to tire me to death?"

As she said that, she still took the initiative to rush over.

After the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Monica snuggled up to him and said, "There's something I haven't told you."

"what?"

"I don't have any big investments on Wall Street," Monica said.

Ok?
Ian was slightly startled.

Monica sighed, "It was just an excuse to get closer to you."

"You might see me at the bar and find a reason to approach me, but you wouldn't come all the way from Los Angeles. Right?" Ian had long noticed that Monica's words were insincere before, and at this moment he just responded calmly.

Monica hummed, "Blackrock asked me to come to you."

"Huh?" Yi Wei was stunned, but he immediately understood.

Although Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street are the three Jewish financial giants, their companies are different.

Vanguard is a mutual fund, State Street is a bank, and BlackRock is an asset management company.

Although they also have many businesses and similarities, and they also engage in operations such as investment and stock trading, they also have their own main core.

BlackRock Group started out as a financial management company and excels at handling various types of non-performing assets.

For example, if a bank fails to lend, it will sometimes take back some of the non-performing assets used as collateral, and then hand them over to these asset management companies to handle, causing them to appreciate in value, thus saving the bank the trouble of not being able to collect the money.

Ian's purchase of the Koeln Zeitung, his hollowing out of it, layoffs, profit generation, and subsequent resale are examples of asset disposal, as is the debt-to-equity swaps that Boss Jia specializes in. However, business owners are targeting specific targets and don't require the assistance of asset management companies. BlackRock primarily partners with banks and other financial institutions to handle these types of assets in bulk.

If Ian succeeds in acquiring JPMorgan Chase, it will be very difficult for BlackRock to obtain non-performing asset management business from JPMorgan Chase in the future.

But it's no use!

Ian has done it!
Ian didn't expect that Monica Bellucci would actually cooperate with BlackRock. He asked with interest: "Do they want to retain shares in JPMorgan Chase?"

"Yes."

"What's in it for me?"

Monica Bellucci then asked, "Did you know that Paramount acquired DreamWorks?"

Ian nodded.

Monica Bellucci then said, "Paramount intends to spin off DreamWorks Animation. They have three options: one, let DreamWorks Animation develop independently. Two, sell it to Disney. Three, hand it over to BlackRock for operation."

Ian shook his head repeatedly. "The third option is the worst. BlackRock isn't good at film and television; they only know financial operations. They won't lead DreamWorks Animation to glory. Instead, they'll create short-term profits by overdrawing on the future through layoffs and spending cuts. They'll then make its financial statements look impressive and sell it to fools."

Monica Bellucci smiled: "Isn't that what all businessmen do? You too."

Ian shrugged. "At least I have some business experience, not just pure financial operations. If my successor is smart enough, they won't suffer losses."

The three daily newspapers and RCA that Ian sold, including Xing Kelun, all suffered losses subsequently, which was also an overdraft of the future.

But the Black Stag Distillery he sold wasn't at a loss, and it was still growing. It was just that the profit was so meager that Ian didn't care—but to Ian, that was his excuse. Look, the losses were your incompetence, not mine! Otherwise, why would Black Stag Distillery be profitable?
Monica Bellucci said: "BlackRock is willing to hand over DreamWorks to you."

Ian smiled and said, "You are indeed a shuike, but sorry, I'm not interested."

DreamWorks Animation is good, but no matter how good a company is, if the bosses cannot work together happily, it will only ruin the company.

Monica laughed and said, "I knew it! They picked the wrong person. I have no attraction to you at all."

Come on, baby, the free globe flowers are still very attractive.

Ian shook his head slightly: "They have to leave JPMorgan Chase."

Monica sighed, "I knew I couldn't complete the mission. It seems I won't get the benefits they offer me."

"No!" Ian lifted Monica's chin. "If it's about JPMorgan Chase's asset management business, then we can discuss it."

Super banks are destined to be accompanied by many such businesses, which can only be negotiated one by one and cannot be wholesaled to you.

If the Jews want to make money from me, they must learn to be a little bit mean to me and give me some benefits!
Ian smiled and said, "Good business should be done over the long term. Why do we need to do it all at once? You can continue to help BlackRock get business from JPMorgan Chase, and they will have to continue to reward you."

Monica's eyes lit up: "How can I thank you?"

Ian smiled: "I heard that you and Sophie Marceau are good friends?"

Monica was stunned.

After a while she cried out, "You've gone too far, Ian!"

"That's not too much." Ian smiled and stroked Monica's smooth and soft body.

Sophie Marceau is also a goddess.

The key point is that I am 37 years old this year. If I don’t eat it while it’s hot, I will really lose my appetite.
