American Gossip King

Chapter 284 Investing in Bloomberg

In a suite at the Hilton Hotel.

Paris Hilton, who had just passed Ian Carl's verification, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, smoking a cigarette with satisfaction.

After the banquet, Ian took Paris Hilton straight to his room. The two equally flamboyant individuals naturally ended up in bed together.

Each gets what they need!

Of all the women Ian had been with, this woman was probably the most worldly-wise.

At only 21 years old, she has a wealth of experience in that area.

Ian doesn't mind this. As long as he's not sick, it's fine. He just wants to be happy... Luckily, his X-ray vision can see through the body to some extent. My next skill is to learn medicine so I can directly judge the body's condition through observation!

What he disliked was Paris Hilton's attitude.

She's too arrogant!

In her eyes, this was her conquest of Ian Karl.

American women often have a conquering mentality, which is the core reason why they are easy to sleep with, but Ian Carr is an exception.

The women who followed him all knew that they could only be the conquered.

At that moment, Paris Hilton waved her cigarette and said, "I hate Jerry Martin. He always thinks he's smart, but he's just a sleazy old man. Don't talk to him too much in the future."

Ian got out of bed and leisurely poured himself a drink: "Jerry Martin is an excellent host, and many people like him. I'm planning to poach him from LANN... When doing business, I don't consider character or other factors."

This angered Paris Hilton: "You can't do that! I hate that jerk!"

Ian didn't even look at her: "You have no right to interfere in my affairs, Paris."

Paris Hilton glared at him angrily.

After a while, she shook her head and said, "Fine, what can I do? You're Ian Karl, after all. I really don't have the right to control you. By the way, I'm going shopping tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?"

Ian shook his head: "I'm going to Lockheed Martin tomorrow to discuss the specifics of our collaboration. I don't have time to keep you company."

Paris Hilton was once again enraged by him: "Do you know how many men want to be with me but don't have the chance?"

Ian laughed: "I'll say the same thing to you. There are plenty of women who want to be with me but don't have the chance."

He handed the glass to Paris Hilton: "Don't throw your princess act at me, okay? We're both spoiled by the opposite sex, so neither of us should try to control the other. Once we're out this door, we can stay in touch if we want, or we can leave if we don't. Giving each other some space is better for everyone."

Paris Hilton took the glass: "You don't treat Ivanka like that."

Are you comparing yourself to Ivanka?

Then I'm sorry, you can't compare.

Although you are both proud women, you are much more alluring than her.

Although I don't mind your flirtatiousness or how many men you see outside, if you want me to value you, you need to learn to restrain yourself.

Obviously you are not!

Ian laughed and said, "You're all different, there's no need to compare."

Paris Hilton growled, "So who do you think is better, us or me?"

It stems from women's competitive nature!

Ian thought for a moment and replied, "If you and Ivanka fell into the river, and I could only save one, I would choose Ivanka."

"Fuck!"

Paris Hilton threw her wine glass at Ian, who nimbly dodged it.

The woman started dressing quickly.

She yelled at Ian, "Ian Karl, this is an insult to me! I'll remember it! You'll never forgive me!"

Ian shrugged. "If it's just hatred, I'm fine with it. Just remember not to take any action. I won't let anyone who tries to harm me get away with it just because I had some fun tonight!"

boom!

An ashtray grazed Ian's face and slammed into the floor-to-ceiling glass.

The woman put on her clothes, muttered curses, and walked out of the room.

Ian smiled slightly.

The door reopened, and Ida walked in.

She glanced at Paris Hilton's retreating figure, then smiled at Ian: "You didn't satisfy her?"

Ian laughed, "She's a proud princess, used to all men groveling at her feet. I guess my relationship with her was just a one-night stand."

A barrage of questions!

Ida gently closed the door: "She's picked the wrong person. Ian Karl isn't the kind of man who would bow down to a woman. As for me, I'm willing to grovel at your feet forever."

As she spoke, she leaned down and began to play with Ian.

That look seemed to ask, "Are you alright?"

Ian was speechless.

We agreed to break up as soon as we got back.

Okay, we haven't arrived in Los Angeles yet.

He said softly, "I haven't taken a shower yet."

Ida's eyes were filled with boundless adoration.

She said gently, "You don't have to wash. I'll accept anything you need... I'll even accompany you if you bring another woman home next time! I only want you, I want you not to give up on me!"

This tenderness is deadly!

As expected, your secretary knows you best!

The latest novel is first published here!

Ian sighed deeply.

………………

Over the next few days, Ian was busy negotiating cooperation with major corporate giants, holding various meetings almost non-stop.

During the day, there are business meetings, and at night, there are all kinds of parties, where drunken scenes often occur.

As a competent secretary, Ida was never jealous and always did her best to arrange everything for him.

Because the general direction had been agreed upon long ago, Ian quickly reached agreements with the various companies.

Lockheed Martin allowed Ian to acquire 10% of Lockheed Martin's shares.

The acquisition will cost approximately $25 billion and will also give Ian a seat on Lockheed Martin's board of directors.

In addition, Ian met with the bigwigs at JPMorgan Chase and subtly raised the issue of a merger between JPMorgan Chase and First Linuo. As expected, JPMorgan Chase was very interested in this, but their requirement was a proportional dilution of shares, rather than a cash acquisition.

This is also what Ian needs.

There's no need to own so many shares in a large bank; what you ultimately want is its managed assets, not its annual dividends.

In addition, Ian also met with Michael Bloomberg.

Michael Bloomberg is the founder of Bloomberg News.

Bloomberg is the world's largest provider of financial information services. Its data terminal system, Bloomberg Professional Services, helps clients access and analyze real-time financial market data and conduct transactions. Clients using this data terminal are located worldwide, including traders, investment banks, the Federal Reserve, other U.S. official agencies, and major central banks globally. The terminal has an annual fee of $2.

Financial news is news too.

Ian himself isn't good at financial news, so acquisition is the best way.

In 03, Bloomberg was not very valuable, and its market value is only around $20 billion today. However, it has developed rapidly and will grow into a powerful empire worth nearly $500 billion in the future. Although there have been fake news incidents, what does it matter?

The important thing is that it can not only make money, but also provide the various financial information that Ian needs, and even support Ian's subsequent operations... There are no major international news events suitable for operation in the second half of the year, so Ian's main focus is on doing some gossip and short selling.

Now that we've gained influence, it's time to monetize it!

A single fake news story from Bloomberg can cause Vinci's stock price to plummet by one-fifth, but news from Ian Carr is all real news!!!

Michael Bloomberg was indeed very interested in Ian Carl's acquisition offer, after all, he was Ian Carl.

Although Ian Carr isn't known for financial news, that doesn't mean he doesn't have any. In fact, many people know that Ian possesses far more inside information than he has revealed.

There is no reason not to cooperate with this kind of person.

After multiple rounds of negotiations, the cooperation was finally finalized.

Carr Investments invested $15 billion to acquire a 40% stake in Bloomberg.

It's not under Carl Media's name, and Ian wouldn't give Murdoch money for nothing.

After completing all this, Ian flew back to Los Angeles.
