American Scandal King

Chapter 89: MS Visit (Part )

As Ian expected, the case of Senator Inez Kisa raping a young girl was both political and erotic news.

So it brings an increase in the left eye's transmission points and an improvement in the right eye's ability effect - the right eye does not increase the transmission points, but the perspective and silk thread effects are enhanced.

If it is a normal upgrade, after the right eye is upgraded to the maximum level, the control strength of each silk thread should be around 150 grams. However, with the bonus of political news, the right eye can reach a silk thread strength of around 6200 grams when the experience point is 125.

The additional force of about 20 grams has been increased. In addition, the thread control distance has been increased from 20 meters to 22 meters.

The length has also been increased.

Compared with strength, length is more meaningful: it means it will be more convenient to send a camera in the future.

On April 4, Ian received a call from the White House.

It's about the report on Inez Kisa.

The White House said it hopes Ian Carr will not make such reports in the future, as this has caused some interference to the entire administrative system of the White House.

It is impossible to be unconnected to politics when working in the media; it must serve politics.

But in the United States, the media has its own tendencies... In the United States, attacking the government is not a problem. The problem is that you neither stand on the side of the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party. That is a big problem.

Cal Media currently has no clear leaning, but CBS, which Ian wants to acquire, has a clear political leaning - they lean towards the Democratic Party.

President George W. Bush and Inez Kisa are both Republicans.

So in a sense, Ian's exposure of Inez Kiser was also a gesture of goodwill to CBS - Gaskell was already helping him contact CBS.

However, the Republicans are in power now, and Ian cannot be too targeted, so he only said: He can no longer disclose such incidents in the future, but the White House must also make some statement.

What he wanted was simple: reporters from the Carr Media Group needed to be qualified to cover political news from the White House.

Not every media outlet can obtain this kind of interview qualification; it must have sufficient influence.

Of course, the news released by the White House is basically praising themselves, and there is no possibility of any negative information.

Although negative news is always the most popular, a media outlet cannot rely solely on negative news to make a living. Normal news channels are still needed.

So the White House quickly agreed: passes can be opened.

In this way, the Los Angeles Times has solved the problem of obtaining political news.

These news from the White House will not be big news, but the accumulation of a large amount of ordinary political news can still bring a certain improvement to Ian - Ian will not interview in person, but he will write the article himself based on the explosiveness of the news, and can also add some bonus effects.

After reaching an agreement with the White House, Ian basically solved the problem of channels for political news, which laid a solid foundation for the improvement of the Los Angeles Herald.

Although the Herald has not yet defeated the Times, the surge in its basic sales means that it is only a matter of time before the Herald defeats the Times.

At dusk, Ian walked out of the newspaper office.

He walked while talking on the phone. "Xing Ke Lun is a good newspaper, but it hasn't been fully utilized. However, under my management, it has already started to make a profit in the second quarter... Yes, Mr. Lawrence. Two million is indeed not much, but good entrepreneurs value potential. Once its quarterly profit reaches ten million, the price will have to go up."

Ian looked around casually while talking on the phone, a slight smile on his face.

A car drove up from Ian's side and stopped beside him. The window rolled down and a black gun was pointed at Ian.

Accompanied by a gloomy, round-faced figure - MS13's madman Git.

Ian looked at the muzzle of the gun and the car door opened.

Ian got in and continued on the phone: "Sorry, this price is still too cheap, I can't accept it."

He covered the phone and said to Crazy Kit, "Can you please let me finish the call? It's a deal worth tens of millions."

Mad Kit looked at him in astonishment.

Do you know what you are facing?
I!
The boss of MS13, Kinggit - Kinggit likes to call himself Kinggit. Anyone who mentions a madman in front of him will become a dead person.

And now, Ian was talking on the phone, seemingly not caring at all about the situation he was in.

He didn't even glance at the gun pressed against his stomach.

At this moment, Ian released his hand from covering the phone and continued, "Yes, yes, I don't deny that some resources were transferred to the Pioneer, but that's not the point. The core of a newspaper is its journalists and its content! I laid off the useless and the garbage, and kept the elite. Which would you prefer, a company with a market capitalization of 100 million but losing tens of millions every year or a company with a market capitalization of 80 million but making tens of millions in profits every year?"

He turned to look at Crazy Kit, who was staring at him.

Ian smiled faintly and said into the phone, "How about this, Mr. Lawrence? Let me back off a bit. For 120 million, you're acquiring three profitable companies! Ah, news sharing... I can give you a portion. I can't guarantee all, but at least by the end of this year, I guarantee these three newspapers will receive some of the same treatment as the Pioneer, at least a blockbuster share. So the sooner you buy them, the better. Every day you delay is a loss for you. Okay, we can discuss the details in person. I look forward to seeing you. I have friends, so I'm sorry to leave it at that."

He hung up the phone and smiled at Crazy Kit.

The black bodyguard in the front seat had had enough.

He put the gun to Ian's head and said, "Do you know what you are doing? Bastard! How can you still be in the mood to talk business in this situation?"

Ian shrugged nonchalantly. "Haven't you read my report? Even if I were to fall from a height, I'd still be hoping for a microphone to reach out and interview me about the feeling of falling. Oh, and I always carry a camera and microphone. May I interview you, Mr. Jeter? How did you feel about kidnapping one of America's most famous journalists and the owner of a media company? Does it make you feel more accomplished?"

"Fuck!" The black bodyguard was completely furious and raised his fist to hit Ian.

It was still Kit who stopped his men.

Mr. Crazy is not crazy at all today, because he finds that Ian Karl in front of him is much crazier than him.

Never seen anything like this!

He waved his hand and the car drove forward.

Then Crazy Kit laughed, "You're the craziest reporter I've ever met, Ian Carr."

Ian laughed and said, "That's not surprising. Do you know how big a deal I just made? I spent 120 million to buy three newspapers. And just now, I sold them for the same price... I almost wiped out all three newspapers... I made a net profit of 70 to 80 million. The business of corporate mergers and acquisitions is so exciting! My newspaper business has never made this much money in its entire history."

Crazy Kit also laughed: "And lose your life for it?"

Ian shook his head nonchalantly: "I will die one day, but it won't be today."

He looked at Kit like he was an idiot.

Things are different now, you no longer have the capital to be aggressive with me, man!
