American Scandal King

Chapter 51 Merger and Acquisition Website
Regarding the news about the Auckland company, peers did not react much.

The Los Angeles Times commented:
"Ian Carr ran out of ideas and turned to economic news."

Bullshit, this news is not sensational enough, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to get! Why am I at my wit’s end?

Besides, economic news is also news!

USA Today commented:
"The Los Angeles Herald's shift to economic news demonstrates its ambition to expand its news offerings."

This is true.

The New York Daily News commented:
"It was actually released by the Los Angeles Herald. What is the Wall Street Journal doing? What is it doing?"

Ha, are you mocking Wall Street?

The Wall Street Journal commented:
"Publishing economic news in a company that specializes in gossip and violence is a foolish business decision."

This is jealousy, pure jealousy.

As for China, there was no movement from the Southern faction, probably because the news lacked spreadability - the Chinese would not care about the life and death of the boss of an American paint company or the safety of the paint, unless the boss was called Bill Gates.

However, because Ian Carr was the one who released the news, someone still said:
"A truly outstanding journalist has a comprehensive perspective, focusing on people's livelihoods and everything else. Ian Carr's reporting has helped protect the American people from persecution by unscrupulous vendors. When will we have such an environment again?"

Shit, shouldn’t those last two words be “When will we have journalists like this?”

How did it become the "environment"'s fault?

Just by looking at the fact that the Southern faction can talk nonsense and still be fine, the news environment in China is actually very good!

"cheers!"

In a luxurious mansion in the villa area of ​​Montecito.

Ian, Gaskell and Lena toasted to their successful short selling in the stock market.

This campaign made Ian a net profit of five million US dollars.

Interestingly, Gaskell's residence is not far from Congressman Brand's, and you can even see Brand's courtyard from here.

After drinking, the three of them sat down.

Ian opened his computer and handed it to Gaskell, saying, "What do you think of this report?"

Gaskell took a look and saw that it was a news report about an Auckland paint company exceeding the specified standards. In order to boost the stock price, they had to clean up the mess.

The report pointed out that Auckland paint companies had long ago abandoned paint that exceeded the formaldehyde standard and had new paint that passed the test.

Gaskell laughed and said, "Investors never care about the character of the investment targets, but the returns. So if you want to restore market confidence, the best way is to make them believe in the predictable profits of paint companies, rather than telling them whether the paint is good or bad... It doesn't matter whether the paint is good or bad, what matters is that it can make money."

The old man is so smart, his words are simply the truth!
Ian nodded repeatedly. He took the computer back and said, "I'll have my people revise it and point out that Auckland Paint Company has great profit prospects. I'll put this up tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I'll put the support of Linuo Bank."

Gaskell frowned slightly. "It's a bit urgent. We can stagger the time a bit. Ivison Jr. is negotiating a big deal right now. It would be much more effective if it goes through."

Ian replied, "I wouldn't hold onto the paint company stock for very long, maybe a month at most."

"why?"

"I want to invest in a news website and do internet news. The Pioneer has too many limitations. Internet news is the future!"

Gaskell was surprised: "That's a losing business. Look at Yahoo! Its stock price is plummeting right now."

Although the old man is smart, his understanding of the future can never compare to Ian's.

Ian answered firmly: "The Internet will make money, and its influence is great enough. Now is the time to buy at the bottom." Gaskell also understood what he meant.

The real power of the media lies in its influence!

That's what happened this time. Ian used his media to release big news, then shorted the market and made five million. He could continue to hype up Auckland's stock price and make another fortune.

Gaskell nodded. "Then continue to borrow money. Linuo Bank will support you. You have to learn how to borrow chickens and eggs, kid. Did you know that most bosses in this world spend a third of their work time borrowing money or raising funds? With me here, you don't have to spend much time and energy."

Ian smiled.

A boss named Jia definitely spends more than a third of his time borrowing money.

Also, I may not need to spend time, but I still need energy, and a lot of it.

He looked at Lena, the beauty licked her red lips at him, her eyes full of affection and temptation. Her fingers gently lifted and pulled open her chest, revealing a beautiful and plump body. Her legs were slightly spread apart, and her long and beautiful legs were connected to the base. She let out a seductive whisper from her mouth.

Gaskell coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, baby. We haven't finished discussing the work yet."

………………

With Gaskell's guidance, Ian's management ability has improved significantly.

In the following days, Gaskell taught Ian all his years of experience, including financial knowledge, political knowledge, business philosophy, etc. without reservation, allowing him to grow rapidly during this period.

Ian would attend various banquets, invitations, polo, golf, etc. with Gaskell every day to meet important figures from all walks of life, and at the same time watch these people take action at night.

There is no need for a specific target, just take whatever you can get - most of this information will not be revealed, but will become a good assistant in his future business.

For example: "You don't want your wife to know about this, do you? What do you want? It's simple. The Los Angeles Herald is dedicated to providing you with high-quality advertising services."

Of course, it also depends on our relationship. If we have a good relationship, I won’t do this - the so-called good relationship means that I don’t need to use your negative information, but you are willing to provide me with advertising business.

Ian likes the American environment, where business is just business and no personal relationships are involved.

This is good!
In the evening, he would accompany Lena and occasionally Kate.

Kate also noticed something, and one night she asked him resentfully, "Do you have another woman?"

Ian just smiled and kissed her: "Don't say stupid things."

Then we try our best to prove that whether there are other people or not doesn't affect our relationship.

Fortunately, Kate was much busier than Lena. Because of the Charlie Mills incident, she became famous before Pearl Harbor was released and had constant film contracts and commercials, so at least I didn't have to accompany her every night.

I just call Ian from time to time.

One time, Ian was having fun with Lena when Kate called.

Lena moaned loudly and Kate silently hung up the phone.

It comes from women's jealousy!

Ian could only sigh and think that at worst he could make up for it later.

Soon after, Gaskell helped him find a suitable target.
