American Gossip King

Chapter 329 Brazil's Olive Branch

When Ian woke up in the morning, he saw that Gisele Bündchen was already up and was on the phone asking for breakfast.

She glanced at Ian and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

Ian casually said, "I want to eat you."

Jesel Bündchen chuckled. "The call is still connected."

"A bowl of oatmeal, a fried egg, and a grilled sausage. What about you?"

"I'll just have some milk," Jesel Bonham said.

Models have to control their diet, and they pay a huge price for it.

But because of this, they are actually prone to premature aging.

Jesel Bündchen is right: youth always fades.

Looking at her slender figure, Ian reached out and gently fondled her ample breasts, saying, "Do you need me to arrange a place for you in Hollywood?"

Jesel Bündchen looked at him in surprise: "Why do you say that?"

Then her expression turned somewhat angry: "You think I slept with you for that reason?"

Ian smiled apologetically: "It seems I misunderstood, but Giselle, I know it wasn't because of love, nor was it simply idol worship."

Jesel looked at him intently. This time, she didn't show any displeasure, but instead asked seriously, "Why?"

Ian replied, "Because I've been with a lot of girls. Some were there because they loved me, some because they had needs, some because they admired me... You know, the most important thing for a good business owner is the ability to judge people, right? You have to be able to see why people are working for you. Although most of them are in it for the money, there are always some people with other factors in mind."

He placed his hand on Gisele Bündchen's beautiful face: "I'm sorry I misunderstood your pursuit, but based on your performance in bed last night, I can confirm... you still have needs of me. There's no need to be shy, you can just tell me. I'll do whatever I can for you!"

Jesel Bonham took a long breath.

She chuckled softly, "I'm starting to understand why Ian Carl was able to achieve such remarkable success in just three years."

As she spoke, she put her arm around Ian's neck.

Her bright eyes gazed at Ian, and her red lips parted slightly as she asked, "Are you interested in Brazil?"

Ok?

Ian was stunned.

Investing in Brazil?

He looked at Jesel Bündchen: "Why?"

"Because I am Brazilian, I hope my country can develop better," Jesel Bündchen replied.

Ian smiled and pulled her into his arms: "Let's keep it official, shall we?"

Jeselbong sighed, "That's the truth. My country needs your help."

Ian understood.

Jesse Bündchen, a Brazilian icon, could even be considered a national treasure of Brazil.

This year marks the year Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came to power.

Lula took office on January 1, 2003, and served two terms as President of Brazil for eight years. During his eight years in office, he helped Brazil solve many livelihood issues, including resolving the IMF issue, increasing employment, and reducing poverty, making tangible contributions.

He has a good relationship with China, but his relationship with the United States is not too bad either. He is extremely good at playing both sides – which is a derogatory term for him personally, but a great compliment for a politician.

A negative example is Gaddafi, who was inept at interpersonal relationships and offended all five major powers—he died in 2011, and it's unknown whether Gaddafi, who was also fleeing, would have allowed her to travel with him then.

Saddam Hussein's case set a bad example. Perhaps I should have made preparations in advance to gain his trust, such as visiting him earlier to make contact, and also, Bin Laden's interviews would have helped improve my credibility in that regard...

In short, Lula is a very capable president. Some of his policies have actually harmed American interests. Under such circumstances, it takes many methods to avoid offending the Americans too much... Given the nature of the United States, they will try every means to overthrow any foreign government that is not conducive to them.

So Lula also needs to do something, such as winning over Ian Karl!

No wonder Jesel Bündchen was so proactive; Ian realized he had indeed misunderstood.

She wasn't doing it for the sake of Hollywood's development, but for the needs of a country.

You've given us Brazil's national treasure, you should at least help us out, right?

After thinking for a moment, Ian said, "Brazil is a good place with abundant iron ore resources. I have always liked it there and have thought about investing there, but I have always been worried about the political stability of Brazil."

Jesel Bündchen immediately replied, "If it's Ian Carr's investment, the Brazilians would be very welcoming."

"What do I need to give in return?" Ian asked.

"IMF," Jesse Börn replied.

really!

I knew it!

The IMF, or International Monetary Fund, is an international financial organization established under the dollar system that provides loans to countries around the world.

The most distinctive feature of this organization is that it makes various political demands while issuing loans!

For example, in 03, the IMF's requirements for Brazil included: 1. adjustment of economic institutions, 2. fiscal policy reform, 3. monetary policy reform, and 4. trade liberalization, etc.

It took Lula a full eight years to free Brazil from the "management" of the IMF.

The problem is that you just borrowed the money in September of this year, and now you're already thinking about untying it after only two months?

That's right, the pain is felt most deeply at the very beginning!

This applies to women, and it applies to nations as well!

Upon hearing Jesel Bündchen's request, Ian laughed: "I have no influence over the IMF."

That's an international financial organization with nations as members. Ian doesn't expect to infiltrate it in a short time. If I had that ability, I'd rather consider the Federal Reserve.

Jesel Bönch said, "But Morgan Lino can provide the loan."

It turned out to be the case.

Ian laughed: "I can't just decide something worth tens of billions of dollars."

Jesel Bündchen looked a little aggrieved, pouting cutely: "You just borrowed 230 billion from Morgan Linuo."

The latest novel is first published here!

Ian was amused.

Brazil is really in a bad situation. Because of the $30 billion IMF control, the entire country owes less than Ian Carl alone – he owes more than $60 billion in Morgan Lino alone!

Ian kissed Jesel Bronchen lightly: "That's because my business is doing well, and even that's my limit. Actually, I'm still seeking external loans myself. In the meantime, Morgan Linuo won't lend me a single penny, and they'll be keeping a close eye on my finances. If anything goes wrong with my business, my bank shares will become theirs! So I'm sorry, baby, I can't agree to that condition. But I can help you in other ways."

That's a bit of a stretch. The main issue is that Ian still thinks US interest rates are too high and plans to seek funding abroad. Funding from the US is convenient and hassle-free.

Jesse Bündchen scoffed: "Investing in Vale doesn't count as helping."

Although she didn't know that iron ore prices would skyrocket fivefold in the next decade, she at least knew that Brazilian iron ore groups were highly profitable companies.

Ian laughed and said, "But you also want Iraqi oil, and Brazil has oil companies too."

Jesel Bündchen was stunned: "What did you say?"

Ian lit a cigar, got up, and stood by the window.

He gazed leisurely out the window, muttering to himself, "Iraq is a good place, with many oil fields, including a considerable number that are still undeveloped. I acquired the Missan oil field complex and Kirkuk in cooperation with China. But Iraq still has some undeveloped oil fields..."

After Iraq was captured, not all oil fields were developed immediately. Some of them were not developed in the first place, and that was Ian's opportunity!

It's at least more presentable than robbing the British.

Ian said, "If we work hard next year, I should be able to acquire new oil fields. I can get China and Petrobras to cooperate on their development. I can also invest in Brazil, but in return, I need some security guarantees. As long as Brazil can make money, then the IMF won't be a problem."

Due to the effectiveness of Lula's series of reforms, they announced in March 2005 that they would not renew their standby credit agreement with the IMF.

Stopping to borrow money is a crucial step for Lula to break free from the IMF's financial control.

With Ian's help, the Brazilian government can earn more money and operate more easily.

Furthermore, Lula is actively promoting relations with China... This is something the United States dislikes the most, especially after China joined the BRIC countries.

Lula's sentencing after leaving office may not have been entirely unrelated to the influence of Americans.

With Ian's help, the negative impact can be reduced.

In short, there are many things Ian can do.

Even borrowing money from Morgan Lino wouldn't be out of the question, but Ian didn't want it to be for his own sake.

But as long as Morgan Lino believes that Brazil can revitalize its economy, they won't miss out on the opportunity to make money.

It can be said that by simultaneously controlling both media and finance, even a small amount of help from Ian would greatly benefit Brazil... especially in political matters, which cannot be bought with ordinary money. Ian essentially gave Lula a sense of security, allowing him to act more freely.

As he spoke, Ian turned to Jesel Börchen: "Satisfied now? I'll make you a hero in Brazil!"

Jesel Börchen excitedly rushed over: "Thank you so much, Ian Carl! If you can do it, I can get Adriana, Alexander, Fernanda, and Ana to come and keep you company!"

Brazil's top five models!

The Brazilian government has given everything it can to help Ian Carl.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have invested in Victoria's Secret.

Wait, I'm not investing for the sake of people!

Ian hugged Jesel Bönchen and laughed, "Then it's settled."
