American Scandal King

Chapter 202 Disaster Day

June 6th is a day of disaster for Italy.

June 6 is the day of catastrophe in Spain.

June 6th is a disaster day in the Republic of Korea.

On this day, they endured the greatest pain and torture in history, and even their own people began to curse them.

They could not accept such a bloody lesson.

Not long after, FIFA announced that it would never let Chung Mong-joon off, and also asked the Korean Football Association to give them an explanation... This guy is destined to end his political career, and he might even have to go to jail!

But none of this has anything to do with Ian Carr.

He gave up this big revelation in exchange for a cooperation agreement with News Corporation.

Shortly afterwards, News Corp and Carr Media announced the agreement.

Cal Media Group invested $130 billion to acquire a 40% stake in Fox Entertainment Group and signed relevant step-down clauses - Murdoch did not intend to rent out his children for ten years, his requirement was five years.

At the same time, News Corporation also stipulated a series of non-transferable assets, not allowing Ian Carr to obtain so-called high profits by selling industries.

This is the cunning of the old guy, blocking all ways out from the very beginning.

But on the other hand, it’s hard to say.

A large company has too many important assets. Even Murdoch cannot sign too many in the contract, let alone know the future.

For example, he could believe in the future of Fox News, but he had no idea how fast it would grow. And 20th Century Fox, his largest and most restricted studio, was not Ian's primary target at all...

For example, he may know that the copyright of Star Wars is valuable, but he doesn't realize that the future belongs to the era of superheroes, the value of X-Men, the value of Blue Sky Studios, the value of Avatar, or that the departure of a host named Tok Carlson will cause the value of Fox News to drop by 5%...

For example, he didn't know that Fox News would acquire DirecTV in the future. This transaction would make Fox News both a cable TV station and a cable TV operator. However, Ian could use his status as a shareholder to preemptively acquire the deal. Murdoch was even less likely to list a business that didn't belong to him as something not for sale...

He doesn't know a lot of things!
Therefore, Ian has a lot of room for maneuver. By controlling Fox Entertainment Group, Ian will take away all the valuable assets that have not yet been revealed! Even if there is a clear value, as long as the money is in place, he can take it away!
What's more, Ian has given Murdoch so many benefits, so Murdoch can't go too far and give the green light to certain assets.

In this case, Fox's future growth is destined to belong to LANN!

The key aspects will still look good - in order to reduce the repurchase losses, Ian will still help Fox wholeheartedly and try to increase revenue and market value.

Just like the Koelnische Zeitung... I made a profit when I sold that crap!

The same will be true for Fox, it will only depreciate wildly after leaving Ian!
Finally, Ian signed an exclusive cooperation agreement with News Corporation in the name of Butterfly.

Ian provides news to CBS and Butterfly provides news to News Corporation.

It’s a bit of a rip-off for CBS, but a business owner who doesn’t rip people off is not a good capitalist!
Masayoshi Son can bow to Mr. Ma who doesn’t love money, so why should you, James Pelley, be an exception?
After all, I don’t like money!

What I love is the influence of the media!

Of course, Ian would still provide CBS with exclusive news to ensure that CBS would not suffer too much loss of interests. If they were dissatisfied and angered Ian, that would be a big trouble.

This cooperation should have been a major event, but because of the fermentation of the World Cup scandal, it was submerged in it. Only a few smart people were able to react in time, but unfortunately these companies were not listed, so there were not many opportunities to take advantage of it.

Driven by Ian, this World Cup scandal is more intense, crazier and more lively than the previous one.

It was destined to become the biggest news hotspot in 2002.

James Pelley regretted this.

Others may not know, but James Perry knows.

Ian Carr, that bastard, must have made the news, but gave it to Murdoch. Otherwise, why would Murdoch give him such a big piece of fat as Fox Entertainment Group?
6 month 30 day.

On this day, the final was held as scheduled.

But there were no Korean fans in the stands.

The 02 World Cup referee scandal was pushed to the forefront because of the deaths of two referees. After the South Korean team lost to Germany 0-12, they lost to Türkiye 0-5.

In this historical turn, the South Korean team, still in fourth place at the World Cup, has lost any sense of honor. Everyone calls them "despicable thieves" and "shameless thieves" who are unworthy of their position as the host.

The reputation of the Koreans plummeted at that moment, and the glory of fourth place became an eternal shame that could never be erased. From that day on, everyone who saw a Korean would sarcastically shout "Fourth place! Fourth place!"

As a result, for a period of time, fourth place became the biggest shame in this time and space, and some people would rather fall outside the top four than be in fourth place.

Koreans have turned "fourth place" into an insulting ranking.

Perhaps due to the reputation of the big win over the Koreans, the outcome of this final also changed.

The Brazilians failed to beat Germany 2-0, but instead narrowly won 2-1, and the result remained unchanged.

This actually has something to do with Ian.

He helped the Brazilians a little, otherwise the Germans could have taken the opportunity to reverse the fate of history.

Ian doesn't want this to happen. Without any conflicts of interest, he still hopes that history can follow its original trajectory, otherwise the next World Cup may change... I will never admit that this is the reason why I also bet on Brazil.

As the World Cup comes to an end, fans from all over the world are returning home.

Ian also completed his gambling gains.

Not much, 1.2 billion.

At least not much in his opinion.

………………

The passion just ended on the big bed in the hotel.

Britney pressed her beautiful and youthful body against Ian, rubbing it and looking at him with her beautiful big eyes: "Aren't you going back?"

Ian sniffed the roses carefully, smiling, "I still have some unfinished business, so I need to stay and talk to Samsung Group."

"How long?" Britney asked.

"I'm not sure. It depends on the progress of the negotiations." Ian kissed Britney's tender red lips. "I know you have a lot of plans when you go back. Don't worry, baby. We'll just be apart for a few days. I'll find you when I get back."

Even at her lowest point, Britney couldn't have no plans, so she could only look at Ian reluctantly, put her arm around his neck and said, "I know what those Koreans are like. Their reputation is ruined this time, and they need you to help them restore their dignity. In order to get you to help them, they will give everything, especially those Korean women. They are just gifts and have no status at all. You asked me to leave because you thought I was in the way, right?"

Fake!

Why do you have to be so clever about this?

Ian hurried to comfort Britney: "It's okay, baby."

Brittany whispered, "I won't be jealous. This wasn't the promise you made to me from the beginning."

As a seasoned womanizer, Ian knew better than to react to this with an overjoyed expression. He smiled and rubbed Britney, "You're always the most important person in my heart..."

Fortunately, Lena is not here.

Britney was finally satisfied: "Okay, then promise me one thing, you must see me when you come back!"

"Of course!" Ian nodded seriously: "How could I miss the opportunity to rape you?"

After a passionate moment, Ian personally sent Britney to the airport.

Ian watched Britney board the plane and waved from afar as the plane took off.

Then his expression gradually became solemn.

Secretary Ida came over and stood respectfully behind him: "Samsung Group called, Lee Kun-hee will be waiting for you at the Hong Hotel. There is still an hour!"

Ian hummed softly: "Don't worry, I have the right to be late now, right?"

Ida smiled: "Of course, boss."
