American Scandal King

Chapter 150 All-round attack
In the big villa in Montecito, Gaskell looked sad.

The old man looked at Ian sadly: "I'm sorry, Ian, it's my fault this time. I'm old, and I can't outsmart those who are more cunning than me. I didn't expect that those good friends of mine would betray me..."

His tone was sad, filled with helplessness and despair, and Lena beside him shed tears of sadness.

Looking at their sad faces, Ian smiled.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, shining on Ian's face, bringing out more confidence and composure.

Then he whispered, "I'm lucky, Gaskell."

Gaskell looked at him in surprise.

Ian said, "How many good friends can a person have in his life? Having a good friend like you is my greatest luck."

"But it's also because of me that you're in this predicament."

"No, no!" Ian shook his head. "You made me understand how business is done. The path you gave me was the right one for rapid development. It was my overconfidence that led to this incident. It's not your fault."

He continued to smile confidently as he spoke.

Looking at Ian's confident and sunny face, Gaskell also understood a little.

This made him feel much better: "What are you going to do?"

Ian smiled and said, “Invest in Linuo!”

"What did you say?" Gaskell and Lena were both stunned.

Ian said seriously, "You heard me right. I want to invest in Linuo! Linuo is just a regional bank right now, but it can definitely grow even better! My original plan was to focus on media and then expand into other industries. What could be more suitable than the financial industry? This is helping you, and it's also helping myself!"

He sneered as he spoke, "This incident tells us that being just chairman isn't enough. I must have absolute say! Only a bank with absolute say can provide me with funds without restrictions."

The old man was slightly stunned for a moment, and finally laughed: "You borrowed money from Linuo Bank and then invested in Linuo Bank?"

Ian waved his hand. "Isn't that how the world works? I have enough confidence to make money and develop Linuo Bank. The developed Linuo can also provide me with more funds! You have the capital, I have the media. Together we can expand into other industries. We will be the future king of America, even the king of the world!"

Lino Bank is undoubtedly Ian's biggest supporter, but Ian is also a supporter of Lino Bank: as long as he can make money, he can bring rich returns to Lino Bank.

It’s just that the bank’s directors were instigated by Madoff and actually gave up Ian. How stupid!
Ian said to Gaskell, "We have a son together. I can't just focus on developing myself. I should also develop the Bent family and develop Lino! Lino's development is also my development. I'm sorry, Gaskell, I didn't care enough about you in the past, but this incident made me realize that walking on two legs is more stable! For you and for myself, we must all be Lino!"

Lian Na came over and hugged Ian gently: "You are a little too excited, Ian."

Ian kissed Lena's face gently: "I am indeed a little excited, but my idea is not wrong! Gaskell, what do you think?"

Gaskell pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine with me. The question is where are you going to get the funds?"

Ian chuckled, "You still don't understand, Gaskell!"

He looked at the old man seriously: "I'm not a good person! I have many, many methods I can use! It's you who has led me to the right path, and I try not to use those shameful methods! But this doesn't mean I won't use them, and it doesn't mean I dare not use them."

Lian Na was horrified: "Oh my God, you are not trying to assassinate Madoff?"

Ian laughed. "No, no, how could I possibly do that? Don't worry, I won't. Do you know what's lucky? It's because of Gaskell that I knew about this in advance. It's only January now, and I still have time to sort everything out. If you suddenly told me in March that you couldn't lend me money, I would be scared to death. By then, I might really go to the casino to rob money."

The old man laughed and said, "I'm not that useless yet."

Borrowing money cannot be calculated so precisely. Many things have been prepared long ago. For example, Ankang Insurance has already made an agreement for Ian's money, and they are just waiting for Ian to withdraw the money himself.

Now that Gaskell has been removed from the position of chairman, there is no need to cover up some things.

At this moment, Ian said, "Excluding the necessary operating funds, I still have 8 million yuan in available funds. I can also sell the % of CBS shares, but CBS still has room to grow, and I don't want to sell it so soon. Also, the Italian lira can be closed."

The decline of the Italian lira in this time and space is not very obvious, and it has only dropped by about 2% so far. However, with a leverage of 2 times and a capital of 1.2 million, Ian actually earned about million. After deducting the interest on borrowed stocks and the bank's withdrawal, he still has more than million.

Ian said, "January 1th is the agreed date. By then, the lira will have fallen. I estimate that the actual profit will stabilize at 16 million. If I don't sell the stocks, I can use 1.2 million in funds. I need you to lend me some more money."

Gaskell replied: "I can't lend you money from the bank, but I can personally provide you with 80 million. This is all I have on hand."

Ian nodded: "Three hundred million is enough."

"What do you want to do?" Gaskell asked.

Ian smiled and said, "I need to understand all the investment status of Madoff Investment Company first."

Gaskell nodded: "I can find that for you."

"I also need to know if there's anyone else involved."

Gaskell smiled: "As long as they take action, they will be exposed." Ian nodded slightly.

Gaskell said sternly, "But I won't allow you to use such dark means, Ian. Business matters must be resolved through business means!"

"What is your standard of darkness?"

"Physical annihilation."

Ian smiled: "Then you can rest assured that I won't do that."

The matter was happily decided. After overcoming this crisis, Ian will devote all his efforts to helping Gaskell develop Lino Bank.

It may not become his inheritance, but it is destined to become his children's inheritance. The common bond of children will connect them more closely.

------

After returning, Ian first tried to go to Linuo Bank.

Ian was very angry about this. He slammed the table and shouted, "My business is running well and you can't do this to me."

The new chairman of Lino Bank, Brad, just said sorry with a kind attitude and sincere tone, but did not give a penny of money.

That day, Ian acted like a lost dog, helpless and desperate.

When he walked out of Brad's office, people looked at him as if he were a falling star.

There is no shortage of such people in the United States.

Ian said: It turns out that everyone has a talent for acting.

On the same day, Ian also found out who else was targeting him.

ABC, CNN, FOX, NBC, as well as the New York Daily, Sing Tao Daily, USA Today and even the Wall Street Journal, almost all major media outlets have been reporting in a series of articles on Ian Carr's liquidity crisis, and said that the Lino Bank that lent him money is likely to call in the loan early, and the newly established Carr Media Group will go bankrupt within a year.

Carl Media is not listed, so this negative news has no impact on the company's stock price.

But it has a huge impact on advertisers!

Especially now that the new year has just begun, it is the time to sign full-year advertising contracts with advertisers.

But which advertiser would place an ad on a company that is about to go bankrupt? Even if you say that your company will not collapse even if it goes bankrupt, it will not work because it will likely mean a significant drop in sales.

At the same time, this will also have a great impact on CBS's stock price. After all, the increase in CBS's stock price is directly related to Ian.

Everyone began to doubt whether Ian Carr could get through this difficult time, and even the politicians began to wait and see - they would not be soft-hearted when they took Ian, but if you become a homeless person on the street, don't expect them to give you back everything you paid for!
Political investment has small capital and big rewards, so it's normal to have some risk, isn't it?

It can be said that the newly established Carl Media Group faced a precarious situation before it had even grown into a towering tree.

Even Hollywood began to laugh at Ian Carr and even withdrew some related cooperation.

They are not the conspirators, but Ian Carr has exposed many Hollywood scandals in the past year, so even if they are not the ones who are conspiring, they don't mind taking advantage of the situation.

Ian just sneered at this.

Very good, I will remember you. Just don’t complain when I fight back.

Two days later, Ian got the information he wanted.

Looking at the information above, Ian was happy.

Nomura Securities!

This is a large Japanese securities firm with a wide range of business operations, and they also have close cooperation with Madoff Investment Securities - Nomura Securities has invested nearly 5 million in Madoff Investment Securities.

At the same time, Nomura Securities also has close cooperation with Sony Corporation!
the world is huge.

It’s a small world.

When you look from the top, you see that the connections between the big guys are so intricate that everything is interconnected.

Madoff's move brought media, film and television, and finance together closely.

To this Ian said: Great, this is what I want.
