American Scandal King

Chapter 153: A fierce counterattack

In the hotel room, Amanda hugged Ian and whispered softly.

Everything was so natural, even Amanda took the initiative.

The Ian Carr of today is no longer the Ian Carr of the past. It is an honor to be able to sleep with him.

Feeling the tenderness from Ian Karl, she murmured in great comfort: "This is great, Ian."

Ian stroked her delicate face: "You are great too."

This is a wonderful person, passionate, proactive, and her passion is filled with hormones, bringing Ian all-round enjoyment.

He was careful not to touch Amanda's wound, but Amanda said, "Lick me."

Ian smiled: "I heard that saliva is good for healing injuries."

Amanda shook her head slightly. "What are you thinking about? Not here!"

Ian: "..."

He smiled and leaned forward: "I am willing to serve you."

They were so affectionate and affectionate, exchanging body temperature and feeling each other's tenderness.

Until after a round of spring rain.

Amanda stood up and went to the bathroom.

She swallowed the pills consciously.

Ian sat against the bed, his eyes dazed in the moonlight.

He was quietly thinking about his next move.

There is no romance after passion, only calmness after the desire is gone.

He felt that every time this happened, his thinking would become more agile.

Not long after, Amanda came out of the shower.

Wrapped in a towel and barefoot, she sat down on the sofa opposite Ian, also looking at her face in the mirror.

Gently caressing the wound, she felt much more relaxed.

Lighting a cigarette, she said, "I'm not going to lock the bridge."

He got off the bed gracefully and swayed behind Amanda.

He hugged Amanda's delicate body and said, "Why? Don't you like Lock Bridge? Don't worry, it will become a big company in no time."

"It has nothing to do with that." Amanda shook her head. "I have a fiancé, and he will arrange it for me. I know you won't make any promises to me, so why pursue something that will have no results? I can help you and do what you say, but after it's done, you have to give me another sum of money, one million."

Ian smiled.

That’s fine.

Simple and straightforward.

He nodded: "So our only chance is tonight?"

Amanda stood up.

She removed the towel and leaned into Ian's arms.

The voice was gentle: "You can enjoy me until it turns on, and then it's over!"

I like girls who are decisive like this.

Ian buried his head in the mountains and took a long sniff: "Then maybe I should delay them for a few more days... I will miss you, baby."

………………

Time flies, and January 1th is here in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Ian Carr officially completed his short position on the Italian lira.

He first repaid the 4 million loan from Lino Bank with interest, and then Ian mobilized all the funds of Carl Media, even part of the working capital of Meihe Construction Company, to increase the funds in his hands to million, and then invested all of it in the stock market to short Sony Pictures.

1 month 19 day.

CBS, Los Angeles Herald, Los Angeles Times, and LANN all broadcast a news story.

A major on-set accident occurred on the set of "Love Is Compromise".

Actress Amanda Peet was injured, and director Nancy Meyers asked the actors to continue filming despite the risk of disfigurement. At the same time, a fire broke out on the set, and the crew management was in chaos.

Nancy Meyers had an affair with Jack Nicholson!
The crew suspected of losing important filming content!
An accident on the set, three consecutive news items, caused an uproar in an instant.

Not only that, there is also a lot of other evidence.

This included the makeup artist's complaints about the director, actress Amanda's angry accusations of the director's behavior on the phone, etc. Since many people in the crew mentioned this, the side effects of Amanda's opposition to the director were minimized.

As for the memory card, it was given to Amanda, who negotiated with the crew herself.

After the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar.

Sony and Columbia issued an urgent statement, claiming the lost memory card had been found, that Amanda's disfigurement had not occurred, that the crew had been given two days' rest, and that Amanda had fully recovered from her injuries. As for the personal conduct of the actors and director, they would not interfere...

Having said that, who knows if you're serious about finding the memory card? I only know that many people within your group are saying this is a heavy loss for the crew.

This incident therefore had a certain negative impact on Sony's stock price. Many people were not optimistic about this movie, and the stock price began to fluctuate and fall slightly - the decline was not large because the news value of this incident was greater than the short-selling value.

Ian's way of doing things has always been to attack his opponents while making money for himself.

There is frequent discussion from all sides.

"Ian Carr always does good news." "I don't think this is very good. It's far worse than what he's done before."

"Man, you can't ask for too much, this is already high quality."

"Ian Carr shouldn't be focusing on Hollywood. He should be doing war interviews, going to Afghanistan, or going to areas where gangs gather. Blood and violence are his forte. He can shoot someone's head off while loudly asking: Answer me, why don't you answer my question?"

good idea!
Ian thought this was a good suggestion and would consider trying it next time.

Anyway, there is no shortage of gun battles in the United States.

A day later, new news came out.

Ivo Fawcett, a famous producer of Sony's TriStar Motion Picture Group, had an extramarital affair with a black maid and had a twelve-year-old son with her.

When the news came out, the entertainment industry was in an uproar.

It’s not because of cheating, but because the person he cheated with is too low-class.

She really doesn't care about either meat or vegetables. Looking at the big fat maid in the photo, everyone was speechless.

However, a day later, another piece of news came.

Famous actor Tommy Lee Jones is suspected of domestic violence.

As soon as the incident happened, public opinion was once again in an uproar.

You should know that Tommy Lee Jones is the male lead in Men in Black 2, co-starring with Will Smith. Now that he has been involved in a sexual harassment incident, the box office of the film will inevitably be affected.

Although Tommy Lee Jones denied it, the story still spread like wildfire, and some people even stood up to angrily accuse Tommy.

A day later, another piece of news came out.

This time, executives from Sony Pictures Entertainment accepted bribes and sold out corporate interests.

Another day passed, and another similar piece of negative news about Sony came out, this time it was about Sony Pictures fabricating accounts.

The next day, news came that Sony Pictures had made a bad investment and suffered losses on a certain blockbuster movie.

Another day later, another sex scandal was released under Sony Pictures.

Almost every day there is a piece of news that is unfavorable to Sony Pictures. Although each piece of news is not too big, it is also considered to be moderate news, especially when it involves the film and television industry, it has greater value for dissemination.

Ian, in particular, was very good at playing, alternating between light and heavy punches to continuously create a cumulative effect.

As the situation continued to ferment, Sony's stock price finally couldn't hold on and continued to fall.

At this time, many people also realized that almost all the news was leaked by CBS, the Los Angeles Herald, the Los Angeles Times, and Spark TV.

The ignorant people at the bottom thought that this was how awesome they were, as they could always dig up dirt on others. However, the people at the top had already seen that it was Ian Carr who was messing with Sony!
Damn it!

The ones who are targeting you are Madoff and the major media groups. We are just playing a supporting role. Why are you targeting Sony?
But this is the mall!

The cruelty of the business world lies in the fact that attacks are not based on personal feelings, but only on interests!

There is no point in launching a counterattack against the media group, because the growth of the Carl Media Group itself is the biggest attack on the media group.

There is no need to attack Madoff, because he would be a useful chess piece. This swindler himself could become Ian's accomplice in the counterattack - don't the directors of Lino Bank want Madoff to help them make money?
I support you!
Only by attacking Sony can you bring yourself enough benefits!

So, I hit you because you are easy to bully and because it benefits me. It has nothing to do with personal grudges. The cruelty of business competition lies in the fact that it does not use personal emotions as the standard.

If A bullies me, I will beat B, then force B to deal with C, and finally use C to deal with A.

This is actually not business logic, but political logic - this is the case in many situations in the international situation.

Why do Americans support Israel, why do White Elephants help the Houthis pick up equipment in the desert...it's all the same.

China once asked the Russians: Why did the former Soviet Union insist on installing a missile system in Cuba, leading to the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Why don't you just sell the missiles to the Cubans at a low price and let them install them themselves? Both the Cubans owning missiles and the Soviets installing missiles are threats to the United States, but their nature is very different. The Americans won't be able to do it on such a large scale, and you can still make a profit!
Everyone is happy!
A group of Russian senior officials looked at each other in bewilderment: We have no idea of ​​this!!!

But America will!
In return, there were later incidents of picking up equipment in various deserts in the Middle East and growing hypersonic missiles in the sand.

But this logic can also be used in business, and it can even be more advanced!
With twenty years of experience, you have not only foresight, but also higher-level cognition and thinking patterns!

Even if Ian attacks the media group or Madoff in the future, the node he chooses will bring him benefits, instead of risking all his money for revenge.

Only such a capitalist is a qualified capitalist with a clear conscience.

The most important thing is: talent is the winner!

Having cheats will not make you a world-class boss. Having the mindset of a boss is the key!

What is a cheat? It is an external device that is attached to the player's body. It is an auxiliary, not the core!
If you only have plug-ins but no core self-abilities, plug-ins won’t help you!

So the reason why Ian attacked Sony was not because of the bet but because of the interests. Of course, this did not prevent Ian from using this as an excuse.

You defaulted on your debt, so this is just revenge!

I attacked Sony, shorted Sony, and made money. Wouldn't that solve the problem of capital shortage?
With this idea in mind, Sony was beaten badly by Ian!
Soon after, Sony executives personally went to James Pelley to plead the matter.

James Pelley expressed regret, saying, "We're just a media outlet. We report news when it's available. Besides, even if we didn't report it, wouldn't the public know about it? Remember, Carr Media isn't a CBS company. It has its own channels. CBS's refusal to report on your story won't help you. It will only cost CBS good news... It's no use coming to me. You have to come to Ian Carr."

Media groups have always been unscrupulous in order to obtain good news.

Although sometimes they are cautious and try to avoid offending others, most of the time, they are not afraid of offending anyone. Otherwise, where do those celebrity scandals come from?
You have to know that the "US military prisoner abuse" incident in 04 was first reported by CBS. If they even dared to report on the military, how many people would not dare to do so?
Of course, the discord between Democrats and Republicans is one of the reasons, but in the end, it all comes down to whether it’s worth it or not.

How can I be afraid of attacking your Japanese company?
Giving you this excuse is already giving you face!

Especially from James Pelley's perspective, it's not me who offends people, but I am the one who makes money, so why not do it?
Although Sony's stock price fell as a result, CBS's stock price is rising!
That's fair!

Ian Carr was also very satisfied: This is both gossip and economic news. The ability and progress of my left eye are improving!
