American Scandal King

Chapter 197 Negotiation with Murdoch (Part )

6 month 15 day.

Ian got up early in the morning and sat in front of the computer. He first explained the betting matter and then read the newspaper.

Yesterday's bar fight news has already come out, and because Britney Spears was involved, it became a hot topic. However, because Ian didn't release the news that she was singing in the bar, nor did he bring himself along, the news didn't make too much of a splash. It was simply that Britney Spears got drunk at a Korean bar and stumbled into a bar fight.

There is an unscrupulous media that will exaggerate the fight because of Britney - well, this unscrupulous media is Carl Media.

First make up the news, then redress the injustice, this is Ian Carr’s usual routine.

And even though he didn't release any information about his singing, I believe that rumors will come out soon - that will lay the foundation for the MV-style news later.

Therefore, although the news is quite hot, it is not too sensational.

After reading the news, Ian began to receive messages from Vincent.

Ian also laughed as he listened to the conversation in the video.

I was lucky enough to get what I wanted on the first day.

Many people feel that important people are very cautious when speaking.

This is a misconception.

Big men are human too, they have their weaknesses too.

An official who can openly publicize that he bribed the referee in order to get promoted, and a group of players who get to the top by playing football rather than thinking, how vigilant can they be?
Especially those players, their minds are full of tactics now.

"Kick hard, don't be afraid of fouls, the referee will take care of us!"

"If you can't kick the ball, kick people. This is our home court of the Republic of Korea. We can't lose momentum!"

Conversations like this go on and on.

In addition to this, there are private conversations among the Korean players.

"Lee Young-pyo is a piece of crap. Hiddink's decision to reject Hong Myung-bo was a foolish one. I suspect Lee Young-pyo gave him his ass."

"Shut up, do you want to die?"

"Let's talk about something happy. After the game, I'm going to go find Yoon Sun-ah again. Don't let her refuse me again. I'm going to have sex with her in front of her husband. No one can do anything to me. I'm going to become a hero of the Republic of Korea!"

"I bet we'll win the match in Italy."

"Are you crazy? We can't participate in gambling."

"It's better than insulting the manager behind his back. If you know you're going to win, why not make a profit? Don't worry, I'm not doing it through myself."

Listening to these conversations, Ian smiled and shook his head.

People's private conversations are always full of ugliness and even sin.

He was used to it all, so he started his own editing work.

While this moment was being processed, there was a knock on the door.

Secretary Ida went to open the door, saw Britney, and shouted into the room: "Mr. Carl, it's Miss Spears."

"Invite her in."

Britney enters and notices Ian still busy at his computer.

She leaned over to take a look, but Ian had already closed his computer and was looking at her warily.

This action made Britney a little dissatisfied: "Are you wary of me?"

"I just don't like people watching me work." Ian stood up: "What's the matter?"

Britney said unhappily, "I was wondering if you have time today to go watch the Germany vs. Paraguay match together."

Ian shook his head: "Mr. Murdoch and I have an appointment to watch the game together."

Britney was stunned: "Murdoch? Rupert Murdoch from News Corporation?"

Ian nodded: "Yes."

Knowing that Ian had an appointment with Murdoch, Britney was helpless and could only say, "Well, it seems I was just being sentimental."

Am I really just of use to him and have no appeal at all?

This made Britney doubt herself for the first time.

Seeing her disappointed expression, Ian smiled and said, "But if you want, you can come together."

Brittany's eyes lit up, "Are you sure? You can't just be watching the game."

"At most one-tenth of my attention will be on that," Ian replied with a smile. "But you must promise not to tell anyone about my conversation with Mr. Murdoch. Also, don't bring your agent or assistant."

Ian likes to pick up girls while working, that is the greatest display of masculinity!

Of course, the premise is that you can do your job well!
Britney became excited and nodded repeatedly: "Of course."

………………

Daejeon is only more than 200 kilometers away from Seoul.

In the afternoon, Ian and Britney took a car to Daejeon Stadium.

Rupert had booked a private room, and the two entered the stadium under the escort of bodyguards. When they arrived at the box, they were greeted by the renowned media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. The 71-year-old was in good spirits, and next to him was his famous wife, Wendi Deng.

In Ian Karl's eyes, this woman has nothing to do with the word "beautiful", but it has to be admitted that she is indeed very good at seducing men, and using marriage as a springboard, she easily completed her leap in life.

But so what?
Ian didn't see her at all - she wasn't even worth seeing through himself.

At this moment, the old man smiled and hugged Ian: "I can't pick you up in person. Those reporters are annoying. If they knew that you and I were meeting, they would hype it up."

He glanced at Britney beside Ian in surprise and said, "Hello, Ms. Spears."

Britney also faced it with a smile. As a big star, she was already accustomed to such occasions, but private meetings with such big figures were relatively rare.

This made her somewhat nervous.

But not much.

Ian said: "Some reporters already know about it."

"What did you say?" the old man was stunned.

Ian said, "There's a guy watching outside the whole time. He must have been following you. He didn't know about me, but he knows now."

Murdoch nodded, his face serious: "Where is he?"

Ian came to the door of the box and pointed outside: "See that guy in the yellow vest? The one with the camera hanging on it?"

Murdoch looked out of the box window and saw someone wearing a yellow vest taking pictures facing this side.

He gave his men a look, and several of them left the box and went out.

Here, Murdoch led Ian and Britney to their seats, and the waiter poured them drinks.

Ian Carr was unusually kind in his attitude towards the media tycoon, and did not display his usual domineering style.

No matter what, Murdoch is a super boss who controls more than 100 media companies and has an industry worth tens of billions. He must be respected.

At this moment, Murdoch personally poured him a glass of wine. "The World Cup is a great place. It can legitimately bring together many people, allowing them to connect, meet, and discuss cooperation... But even so, it's still inevitable that you'll be targeted. You have a keen eye, Ian, and I'm beginning to understand why you have the reputation you have. But do you know what your biggest problem is?"

Ian took the glass and said, "I am more of a journalist than a businessman."

Murdoch laughed. "You know that, but you can't change it."

Ian sighed: "It really can't be changed."

Your own ability comes from your own plug-in, and your own plug-in requires your own news.

Even if he becomes the world's number one media tycoon in the future, he will still have to do things himself when it is time to do so.

But luckily for him, Ian liked this.

He doesn't reject it from the bottom of his heart.

To him, a luxurious life is just a dessert in life. Li Yi, who was born in Sichuan, likes spicy food.

A life without excitement is like giving up spicy food.

unacceptable!

For this reason, the chef he hired for his manor is an authentic Sichuan chef... The reason why I like working from home is definitely not because of the girls and the romantic affairs next door, but because I like the chef in my house!

Cook: You better give me a raise!

Of course, Ian wouldn't be so blunt. He simply said, "I love what I do. It gives me a special sense of accomplishment. There are many successful businessmen in this world, but few who are both successful businessmen and successful journalists. In life, sometimes you need to pursue things that others cannot. Ian Carr is the greatest journalist in the world. There won't be anyone better than him in the next 500 years. This reputation satisfies me and keeps me motivated."

Murdoch laughed. "Young people are always full of energy and will do anything to achieve their goals. But sometimes, going too far can backfire. Do you agree with that, Carl?"

Ian understood what he meant.

He was talking about how he used News Corp's negative information to threaten others.

The question is, do you think your approach is not radical?

Why is it that Ian Carr's wiretapping is radical, while News Corporation's wiretapping is conservative?
He smiled and said, "You know what's the funniest thing about this, Mr. Murdoch? It's that we understand a lot of things, but usually we don't change even when we get bruised and bloody. Some people won't change even if they get their heads bruised."

He spread his hands and said, "The world is vast, history is long, but human life is limited. So for me, money isn't the most important thing; time is. I don't like to spend a month to solve a problem that can be solved in a day."

The old man laughed: "It sounds like you're planning to force me to sign a contract by pressing my head."

Wendi Deng on the side glared at him!

She looked more like a bodyguard than a bodyguard.

Britney was also surprised.

As the most famous singer in the world, countless people worship her.

But at this moment, in front of the two business tycoons, she felt as weak as an ignorant little girl and could not get a word in.

But this doesn't make her dissatisfied, it only makes her excited.

Ian Carr you are awesome!

Can you communicate with Murdoch like this?

It is women's nature to admire the strong. Britney has met many important people, but not many of them can make her "admire".
