American Scandal King

Chapter 205 I Want the Oprah Show
In the early morning, I woke up from the entanglement of those pairs of beautiful arms.

Ian got up and went to take a bath in the bathtub next to him.

He is thinking.

Ian has recently developed a habit of thinking in the bathtub.

The rising mist and soft water flow are like the caress of a lover, always making him feel as if he is floating in the air, and also helping him to free his mind.

Just as I was thinking about this, footsteps were heard behind me.

Ian knew who it was without even looking back.

He smiled and said, "Awake."

Qiu Xiuyan stepped into the water with her fair and delicate feet and snuggled up to him.

The girl is bright and beautiful, with a pretty face and fair skin.

She put her arms around Ian's neck and spoke softly.

Ian didn't understand: "What?"

Qiu Xiajun gestured, and seeing that he still didn't understand, she simply smiled and came over and gave Ian a kiss.

Until Kim Hee Sun's voice rang out: "She said she likes you, but she can't bear to leave Korea."

Oh, so that’s it!
Ian smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll be traveling around more often in the future. You can also come and visit me."

The sound of water splashing was heard.

The girls have filed in.

They sat in the swimming pool, looking at Ian together, the water rippling with the girls' youth.

Although he defeated four opponents alone last night, Ian actually didn't consume much physical energy.

The main reason is that girls are not so open-minded, unlike those girls in the United States, who will try their best to squeeze you dry.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that there are no coquettish women in Korea, but these few are clearly not among them.

This quickly made Ian feel good again.

But he didn't do anything. He just hugged the girls and said, "Teach me to speak Korean."

The girls were stunned. You want to learn Korean?
Ian laughed and said, "We're just sitting around doing nothing. We can't just do that when we're together."

Hearing this, the girls all laughed.

Yeah, there's always something else to do.

So they chattered together and taught Ian some basic Korean.

They also agreed on some small games for this purpose.

For example, if Ian said something wrong, he would have to accept some small punishment... and serve the girls.

But if Ian was right, the girls were there for him.

Everyone had a great time, and Ian quickly mastered some basic Korean vocabulary.

As long as you have a suitable environment, you can master a language in a few months, but if you don’t have it, simply learning it won’t be of much use.

Everyone had a happy morning in the room. During lunch, Lee Kun-hee sent someone to contact him.

Ian said: I'll stay in Korea for a few days first.

He is not in a hurry to reach an agreement with South Korea immediately, because it is the South Koreans who are in a hurry anyway.

That afternoon, Ian took the girls out for a walk.

South Korea is a small place, and Gyeongbokgung Palace is not better than any tourist attraction in any city in China, but since you are here, you might as well take a look even if you are disappointed.

In the next few days, Ian traveled around with the girls and learned Korean when he had nothing to do.

Under the special reward conditions, Ian's Korean has also improved by leaps and bounds and he has learned it very quickly.

His relationship with the girls also truly grew at this time.

Today, as usual, Ian and a few girls wandered around and returned to the Hong Hotel.

As soon as I entered the hotel, someone came over and invited me: "Mr. Li is here, please be sure to talk to him again."

"Can't wait?" Ian laughed.

It is understandable that the fish did not take the bait even though the bait was eaten.

He kissed Jun Ji-hyun and said, "You guys go back to the room and wait for me."

The girls waved to Ian, and he was led to the living room by the waiter.

In the reception room, Ian met with Lee Kun-hee and several Blue House officials.

He sat down and said, "Thank you all for your hospitality. I've had so much fun these past few days that I don't even want to leave."

A Blue House official smiled and said, "You can come often, Mr. Karl. South Korea and the United States will always be best friends."

Are South Korea and the United States friends?

You guys really know how to flatter yourselves.

Ian stretched and said, "I can accept a 40 billion offer, but the interest rate can only be 2 points, and South Korea wants to invest in Harp." Huh?
Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Invest in Harp Entertainment?

Isn't that Oprah's company?

Li Jianxi was also speechless: "Why is this?"

Ian laughed and said, "I'm going to buy the Oprah Winfrey show."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked again.

The Oprah Winfrey Show is one of the most famous talk shows in the United States, with extremely high ratings.

However, Oprah is the owner of a company. Her talk show is produced by her own Harp Entertainment Company and then broadcast in cooperation with the media.

Let’s put it this way, whoever owns the Oprah Winfrey Show will see their TV station’s ratings skyrocket.

The question is, what does it have to do with us if you buy the Oprah Winfrey show?
Why should we invest in Harp Entertainment?
Ian said calmly, "This is also for your own good. I've thought about how to clear your reputation. If I force it, it won't be effective. The best way is to take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, use extensive coverage to restore your lost dignity, and on the other hand, win sympathy for you."

To gain sympathy?
Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Ian said, "Unilaterally promoting the goodness of Koreans isn't enough. We need to make people around the world sympathize with Koreans and make them believe that South Korea is also a victim in this World Cup. When someone is in a strong position, they will be attacked. Once they are weak, they will be sympathized with, and even if they have made mistakes in the past, they can be forgiven."

Hearing this, everyone was speechless again.

Ian is right, but the problem is that this does not conform to South Korea's national conditions.

The Republic of Korea is a small country with a small population, and it relies on self-satisfaction to maintain its national will.

Now you want to make us the objects of "sympathy".

Then how can I entertain myself in the future?
Seeing their embarrassed looks, Ian also laughed.

He said: "International public opinion is international public opinion, and internal reports are internal reports. It doesn't matter."

That means you can continue to have fun among yourselves and brag about yourselves behind closed doors, and we won’t stop you.

As long as you pay enough, I have no problem even if you say that America was invented by Koreans and that you cut off the scalps of Indians!

Ian continued, "Oprah is a very capable person. Her talk show can belittle you on the surface, but actually help you gain sympathy. We all know she has this ability."

Koreans have no doubt about this. If Oprah can't do this, she can't be the most awesome talk show host in the United States.

At this point, Ian continued, "Talk shows are the art of slander... Although I personally disagree with this view, many talk show hosts think so. Oprah, as the most famous talk show host in the United States, will help you solve many problems, and she will be very happy too. After all, it's rare to have official support."

Lee Kun-hee cursed in his heart: Are you planning to use this to convince Oprah?

When it comes to issues concerning national honor, talk shows cannot talk nonsense.

But if Ian said, "I'll help you deal with the Korean issue," and you can just make fun of the Koreans and play the sympathy card for them, Oprah would probably be very happy... She could create hundreds of jokes to make fun of the Koreans.

Fake!

Are you sure you're helping us?
Ian was also happy.

As mentioned before, Ian's help in clearing the reputation of Koreans has a difficult outcome, so the agreement can only stipulate the process "such as not reporting negative news about Korea", but not the outcome.

In that case, Ian decided to make the process more interesting.

He had wanted to be on the Oprah Winfrey Show for a long time, but he had never found the right opportunity. This was a good opportunity.

Ian's expression was serious at that moment, his eyes flickering with strange lights and shadows. "This is the best help for South Korea. You have to hit rock bottom before you can stand up again. Of course, considering the president's reputation, it's best if this doesn't spread in South Korea. If necessary, I can have my people make some statements in support of the president to ensure that this does not damage the reputation of the Blue House."

There were two things Ian didn't say.

First: I have the final say on whether you can stand up after hitting rock bottom.

Second: What Ian can absolutely promise is actually Carr Media, not CBS, not Gannett, and certainly not Fox Entertainment Group. After all, he is only a shareholder of those companies, not a decision maker. He can use his influence to help select news, but he cannot have absolute control.

This means that the Oprah Winfrey Show will not appear on other major platforms, but will be broadcast on LANN.

Playing the Oprah talk show on a small platform will have an immediate benefit in promoting the small platform, but it will not be good for Oprah: because it will reduce her influence!

It’s like a great writer publishes a book on a small website. The traffic of the small website increases, but the traffic of the great writer decreases!
So he needs Koreans to take action and invest in Oprah's company.

The major shareholder insisted on broadcasting the show on LANN's platform. Oprah might consider it because the money was enough. Moreover, Ian could convince Oprah that LANN would become the best television network in the United States in the future.

For Ian, although the price he paid for Samsung shares was a bit high (Lee Kun-hee: Too high!), he made a lot of money by getting the Oprah talk show at a low price.

In this way, all the benefits belong to Ian, and all the disadvantages belong to the Koreans. The key is that the Koreans have no choice but to accept it if they want to restore their reputation... Oprah has this influence, at least in the United States.

A contract can only determine the process. I have given you the process of restoring your reputation. If you don't do well, it has nothing to do with me.

As for the perception of the world?
snort!
Your father is an American. If you don’t change your father’s opinion of you first, why are you thinking about being your next-door neighbor?

If you still don't accept...

Should I give them the video of their passionate moments over the past few nights?

Forget it, it’s not advisable to over-stimulate at the moment.

Koreans are not honest either. Wait until they anger you one day before using it!
Seeing them all pondering, Ian said, "Of course, as a sign of sincerity, I can also do some special publicity... I mean, I've written some short articles in the past few days that might be of interest to you."

As he spoke, Ian took out a stack of information and handed it to everyone.
