American Scandal King

Chapter 169 Meeting with Lao Te
In the following days, there were no major incidents, and Ian lived his life as usual.

I deal with company matters during the day, and at night I either spend time with the girls or seek out various private activities.

As for Catherine.

The two were in a strange state.

Done.

But it didn't work.

Catherine is different from all the other girls. She may be obsessed with Ian in her heart, but she always appears strong on the surface. She is even angry and hates Ian. She is annoyed by his cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, but she covets his body.

She still refused to serve Ian in any way, but would find ways to actively seek out Ian.

She would appear when Ian left the office building, drag him into the car, and have sex with him in the car; she would appear secretly when Ian was filming, as if following him the whole time, and have sex with him on the grass or in the woods; occasionally, she would call Ian to the police station in the name of cooperation, and have sex with him in her own office.

She always takes the initiative - except for the first time.

She would strangle Ian's neck while doing his work, screaming like a cat in heat, without any concealment, which made everyone surprised at her madness.

Afterwards, she told Ian to get out like a queen, as if only this could satisfy her inner pride.

She would not do anything for Ian, and would even often cause trouble for Ian, and then be defeated by Ian's desperate attack - she was a strong person in bed and a weak chicken outside the bed.

This is exactly the opposite of most relationships between men and women.

She always seeks a kind of glory that belongs to men, and says without reservation: Ian Carr is a man who I can play with whenever I want, and he is a tool to satisfy me.

Regarding her abnormal self-esteem, Ian said: It's up to you.

In fact, what he saw was the weakness hidden behind Catherine's strong appearance.

She had long since surrendered to herself, relying on self-deception to comfort herself.

………………

Today Ian was working in his office when his secretary Ida walked in.

She whispered, "Mr. Trump is here and he hopes to meet with you."

Ian raised his brow.

Lao Te, you are finally here?

It’s been half a year since Carl Media entered Trump Tower, and the big boss has finally come to take a look.

And he directly expressed his hope to meet Ian.

Ian smiled and said, "No problem. Do I have an appointment today?"

"I have a meeting with Mr. Dill Chandler and his team at noon regarding cooperation with the Gannett Group."

The Gannett Group is the largest newspaper group in the United States, with hundreds of newspapers under its jurisdiction, including USA Today. In the original time and space, USA Today was the newspaper with the largest circulation, but now it has been suppressed by the Los Angeles Times and the Herald.

The Gannett Group has always wanted to acquire the Los Angeles Times and the Herald. Ian has no objection to selling the newspapers, but the problem is that the Gannett Group wants to tie Ian down.

This made Ian dissatisfied.

So far, the media is still interested in his ability to expose information rather than his business ability.

Even if my management ability is average, I shouldn't be looked down upon like this. You want to buy my company and you also want me to work for you?
crazy!

Ian immediately said, "Let Dill and the others discuss this first, and arrange a meeting with Mr. Trump immediately."

"Ok."

At noon, Ian and Trump met in the restaurant of Trump Tower.

Donald Trump is 56 years old, an age full of vigor and vitality.

This person has always been interested in politics and expressed his intention to run for president as early as 88.

Before that, he was a Democrat, then switched to the Republican Party. In 99, he joined the Reform Party, but after an unsuccessful campaign, he rejoined the Democratic Party. In 09, he joined the Republican Party again. In 11, he left the Republican Party to become an independent, and in 12, he rejoined the Republican Party, making him a true party-hopping prince.

From the experience of such a person, we can see that the essence of his so-called political ideas is to serve "interests".

In other words, although he has been serving domestic economic interests since becoming president, in reality all these propositions are only related to the consortium behind him.

The Koch brothers supported him, and the Koch Brothers Group prioritized domestic interests, so he worked hard to withdraw from the group and focus on making money, claiming to bring industry back to the United States. But if his support came from the military-industrial complex, he would, like Biden Sr., choose a completely opposite political path.

At that time, he might curse the Maga of another time and space. In short, the political stance of a presidential candidate depends largely on the capital behind the scenes.

This is also why Donald Trump cares about Russia and Israel.

Trump has huge interests in Russia, and his son-in-law is Jewish, and also has huge interests in Jewish groups.

Fortunately, none of this has happened yet!

Ian doesn’t mind taking the lead and letting Mr. Trump be a true good friend of the Anglo-Saxons and a rebellious son of the Jews.

At this moment, Ian and Trump were sitting together, and the slim, beautiful and graceful girl next to him was Ivanka Trump.

Melania is not here. At this time, Trump met her and they were already in a relationship, but they were not married yet. They did not get married until 05, and they broke up and got back together several times during that time.

At that time, Trump was still a Democrat. He brought his baby daughter and had a passionate conversation with Ian: "I like CBS. Your news always hits the nail on the head. If the United States wants to lead the world, it should be more inclusive! We should further open up immigration..."

He talked incessantly, and Ian laughed inwardly.

If this happened in another time and place, those who heard Trump's political propositions would probably be shocked.

The Democratic Party supports immigration, and of course this is also related to interests.

In the entire American system, the Republican Party tends to be conservative and the Democratic Party tends to be radical, but this is just a matter of tendency.

For example, George W. Bush, who launched the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, was a Republican, so conservatives can also start wars.

Because the war consumed too much financial resources of the United States, the Republican Party later became increasingly conservative, which led to Trump's proposals such as building a high wall to oppose immigration, ceasefire, withdrawing from the group, and making money.

In short, political stances depend not only on party ideology and personal philosophy, but also on the situation.

Now is the time when the United States is at its strongest, so no matter which party it is, they are actually inclined to military expansion, but the specific details are different.

Since CBS supports the Democratic Party and Ian Carr is the largest shareholder of CBS, what Trump says now is completely opposite to his later political inclinations... It seems like he is trying to flatter Ian.

Ian smiled as he ate his lunch: "I like your opinion, Mr. Trump. But to be honest, I don't think the Democratic Party will fully support you."

Ian has no intention of supporting Trump's rise to power.

This person has an overly strong personality. Even though he serves capital, he is still a person with a strong sense of self, which makes him difficult to control.

There are basically only two principles for capital to support a goal:

1: This person is capable and can win.

2: This person is obedient enough.

But there is a huge conflict between the two.

Capable people are usually not very obedient.

But for Ian, who has endless revelations to make, what he needs is a sleep god like old Biden, not a strong egoist like Trump.

As long as you listen to me, I can promote you to a higher position even if you are a waste, and the more useless you are, the better. The only prerequisite is that you have to know that you are a waste!
So it doesn’t matter to him whether the other party has the ability or not. As long as you are obedient, I can help you climb the wall even if you are a piece of mud.

But if you don't listen, I don't want it even if it's a purple gold beam across the sea.

The same principle also exists in the entertainment industry: for example, why does China often produce star idols who are good-looking but lack talent?
It is precisely because he does not have enough talent that I can control him!
You are so talented. You can fly solo without me. So what’s the point of me promoting you?
The meaning of capital lies in the fact that there must be space for capital to realize its value. If capital cannot play its role, it means losing the right to distribute profits!
Live streaming sales in later generations is the most typical problem.

Oriental Selection brought out Dong Yuhui, but the public followed Dong Yuhui... So with the influence, the workers are no longer workers, but want to become the masters. Even if you can make money for me, I will not accept it.

Therefore, capitalists always tend to aim for the goal of "you must have my support before you can get ahead", rather than talented people who can stand out on their own with just a little chance!

It’s hard to control such a talented person!
Of course, if one has small capital and lacks sufficient capabilities, he or she will tend to rely on capable people, which is called clinging to a big tree.

Therefore, the combination of the strong and the weak is the best way, while the strong joining forces often leads to division!

Ian is a strong man, and so is Trump, which fundamentally makes it difficult for them to join forces.

Of course Ian wouldn't say these words, so he said directly: It's not that I don't think highly of you, it's that the Democratic Party doesn't think highly of you.

You can't even become a candidate for your party now, so why bother thinking about running for president?

Trump looked at Ian and laughed, "The midterm elections are coming soon. I believe in your influence."

Hearing this, Ian raised his brows slightly.
