American Scandal King

Chapter 336: The Truth About Samsung’s Profit Transfer
Godwin Manor.

The bedroom is quite lively today.

Gal Gadot, Katherine, Jessica Barbara, KK, and Shauna were all there.

Fighting one against five is no big deal for Ian now.

After that hearty and exciting moment, Xiaona smiled at Ian while holding the newspaper and said, "Do you know what they said about you?"

Ian was fiddling with the video on his computer as usual.

He didn't even turn around: "What?"

Jessica interjected: "They say you put Michael Jackson in a desperate situation, and many people are against you for this."

Ian was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I can understand their misunderstanding."

With Ian's encouragement, Michael Jackson's first court hearing officially started yesterday.

Due to Ian's instructions, Michael Jackson was almost completely at a disadvantage in this trial.

Although his defense attorney fought hard, the judge was biased and the testimonies from all sides were extremely unfavorable to Michael.

This led many to believe that Michael Jackson might be convicted soon.

Since the trial was held in Los Angeles and the reporting was done by Carr Media, and coupled with Ian Carr's identity as the king of Hollywood, many people believed that all this was driven by Ian Carr.

Some people even said that Ian Carr was dissatisfied with Michael Jackson's independence, and since Carr Media did not have many revelations about the entertainment industry this year, Ian chose to put Michael Jackson on the altar and make him a sacrifice.

You know what, it actually makes sense!
Indeed, the Michael Jackson incident has greatly made up for the lack of Hollywood scandals this year!
In addition, many internal exclusive reports were still produced by Carl Media, especially those that were unfavorable to Michael Jackson. Carl Media has never said anything good about Michael Jackson, so it is not surprising that such a perception arises.

Yet this is exactly what Ian wants.

He had to make everyone think that Michael Jackson was finished, and even Ian Carr was not going to save him, before he could truly take over this cash cow.

He laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. It's not the first or second time that a person has been wronged. I've been wrongly accused twice and have gone to court. One more time won't be a big deal."

Catherine raised her eyebrows slightly: "It may not be an injustice."

Ian laughed: "At least the Natalie Portman incident was unjust."

Hearing Natalie Portman's name, Gal Gadot said: "By the way, Natalie Portman called me a few days ago."

"how?"

"She wants to see you."

Hearing this, Ian smiled: "Did you say anything?"

Gal Gadot shook her head slightly: "I guess she really wants to rape you."

Is she still into me?

Ian thought about it and nodded: "Okay! I have no problem with her."

The girls said together, "You just don't have a problem with her body!"

Ian laughed and left his seat, throwing himself into Jessica's arms: "But I'm obsessed with you!"

The girls started to play and cuddle with Ian with giggles.

While we were having fun, the phone rang.

Ian took a look and saw it was Ida's.

Ian took it: "Give me good news, Ida."

The former secretary smiled and said, "I missed you."

This is not good news.

But Ian didn't say anything, he just smiled: "Then get it done quickly, and you can come back to see me."

This answer made Ida particularly excited: "I know where Samsung Group's money went."

"Where?" "They set up a new distribution company called Coward, and they transferred the goods to this company by selling them at a low price."

Ian was not surprised by this. The simplest way for a company to transfer profits was to set up a raw material supply company to purchase at a high price. If done well, they could make their own company suffer losses... This was often used to harm shareholders, but it was also used for tax evasion, such as transferring profits to foreign countries with low tax rates.

The latter is what almost everyone does, including Ian himself.

Since US production is shifting to Asia and the US itself is a consumer country in Asia, Samsung's approach is the opposite... They give some products to US distribution companies at low prices, causing their profits to skyrocket.

What puzzled Ian was another question: "Did the other shareholders just watch this happen?"

Ida replied, "They all participated, except you."

"Sure enough!" Ian cursed.

The movement was a little too violent, and Jessica cried out softly and glared at him slightly, meaning that you hurt me.

Ida acted as if she hadn't heard him: "Yes, you were right last time. This is directed at you."

"The reason!" Ian said.

Over the past year or so, Ian has been faithfully fulfilling his promise and has been helping the Koreans clean up their act. There is no reason for them to do this.

Ida said: "Samsung's major shareholder, Brilliant Fund, is Jewish."

"No! That's not enough!" Ian said confidently, "It's one thing for the Jews to want to deal with me, and it's another to get the Koreans to help deal with me. Don't tell me that's all you found out!"

Ida was indeed very capable: "The Brilliant Fund has investments in News Corporation, and they have dealings with some of the executives there. I suspect they may have gotten some information about the World Cup."

Ian understood.

The Brilliant Fund learned from News Corporation that Ian Carr might have obtained the World Cup news, and then they told Samsung about it.

Koreans will definitely be angry if they know this!

So it was you, Ian Carr, who messed with us?
Of course, Koreans only know that it was his people who reported the referee's death to News Corporation, but they probably don't know that he also killed the referee, and he was the one who leaked the information about Zheng Mengzhong. He planned the entire incident, otherwise Koreans would probably go crazy.

That's not a matter of transferring profits.

Even so, the Koreans did not dare to offend Ian. After all, they still relied on him to restore their reputation. They could only unite with other major shareholders in this way and transfer profits without Ian.

The other shareholders were not affected by this, and since the company was run by Koreans, they did not have to take the blame, so they naturally accepted it.

Ian thought seriously for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Morgan is also a shareholder of Samsung Group. Why didn't they inform me?"

Ida replied, "Jamie Dimon wasn't responsible for this. Someone else was responsible. Furthermore, Morgan also had shares in Coverdell, which was later formed. He didn't suffer any loss of interest, so Jamie Dimon wouldn't have intervened. When I discovered the problem, I contacted Jamie Dimon, and he investigated and told me."

Ian felt much better when he heard that Jamie Damon did not betray him.

Ian continued, "But he told me that after the merger of Morgan and Lino, the Brilliant Fund has been trying to repurchase Morgan's shares in Coward to avoid the leakage of financial reports. Jamie also realized the problem and made a timely statement. Oh, and he told me that he accepted a bribe of five million from the other party. I hope you don't mind."

Ian smiled: "Since he didn't lie to me, then there's no problem."

After a moment's thought, he said, "The shares can be sold, but the price shouldn't be cheap. I'll take this opportunity to continue investigating this Coward Company. I want to understand their specific situation."

"Okay, boss, but you said I would come back to see you after I finish my work." Ida said with a smile.

You really miss me!

Speaking of it, among all the girls around me, the ones who are the most affectionate to me are probably Scarlett, Britney, Ivanka, Katherine and Ida. Kate was originally one of them, but unfortunately she is about to get married.

Ian responded softly: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Ida responded happily: "Okay, boss."

Putting down the phone, he looked at the girls.

The girls hummed together, "Go ahead and do your thing."

Ian laughed and stood up.

He picked up the phone: "Rudolf Murdoch."
