American Scandal King

Chapter 211 Linuo Development
The next morning.

When Ian woke up, he watched the news as usual.

The host, sitting in front of the camera, suppressed a smile as he reported, "Just yesterday, we got an interesting piece of news. Perhaps driven by extreme hunger, or perhaps out of a desire to savor something new, Clarice Ravel embarked on a rare adventure. Please read the following... Before then, it's best to get all the children out. Even though the footage is blurred, it's best to be careful."

Then came the release of the bombshell news.

Ian and Britney curled up in bed, laughing at the news.

The phone soon rang.

It's Scarlett's.

There was a hint of anger in her voice: "Ian, look at what you have done? You even reported this kind of news!"

Ian begged for mercy quickly: "I'm sorry, but what happens in this world is not up to me. How are you doing recently, baby?"

"What else can I do? Busy filming? But I think about you every day. What about you, Ian? Do you miss me?"

Ian was about to answer when Britney leaned over and said, "He misses you when he's not fucking me."

Ian: "..."

Scarlett was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then asked, "Who are you?"

Britney looked at Ian, who said helplessly, "Britney...Britney Spears."

"Fuck! Ian, you're making me mad. I'm ignoring you...at least for three days."

Ian was helpless and could only whisper to comfort her: "I really miss you, baby. I'll wait for you to come back."

Then he pinched Britney lightly as revenge for her mischief.

Scarlett sighed, "Oh my God, I should have known you were this kind of person, but there's nothing I can do. Tell Spears I won't give up my position!"

With that she hung up the phone angrily.

Ian glared at Britney unhappily and grasped her weakness: "Stop making trouble."

Brittany smiled, "This is a necessary path to many people."

Ian: "..."

But it does make sense!

The phone rings again.

It's Kate's.

Kate said in a gloomy tone: "You've turned your target back to Hollywood? Now the whole of Hollywood is panicking!"

Ian laughed, "They're not afraid of me enough!"

........................

Ian Carr's attention is back in Hollywood!

As Kate puts it, the incident quickly caused consternation in Hollywood.

Wherever this bastard pays attention, bad things will happen.

He went to South Korea, and then there was the World Cup super scandal... Although the news was released by News Corp, many people believed that it was Ian who did it.

As a result, everyone in Hollywood felt insecure for a while, and those dirty things were restrained a lot.

But it didn't work.

Not to mention that Ian has already gained a lot before, the key point is that you didn’t enter this circle to become a saint.

The second child can be in charge for a while, but can he be in charge for a lifetime?

So what follows is Ian Carr continuing to expose Hollywood erotic stories.

He has a very good sense of proportion. Basically, once a hot spot is eliminated, a new one will come up.

The key is that the channels are now powerful. Any news is jointly released by Fox News, CBS, LANN and even Gannett Newspapers.

This is not a big deal. It can be fried into a big deal.

In this situation, everyone in Hollywood was shocked when they saw him.

A few days later, Tom Jackbolson brought news that Fox Entertainment Group agreed to consider selling Blue Sky Studios and the copyrights to X-Men and War for the Planet of the Apes.

It turned out that the cunning Tom Jackbolson transferred part of 20th Century Fox's costs to Blue Sky Studios. As a result, Blue Sky Studios' costs increased, which in turn weakened its profits.

It would be easier to talk about selling Blue Sky Studios at this time.

So the most frightening thing in any situation is the traitor.

The Los Angeles Times has an insider named Israel, and Sony has an insider named Howard - this insider is still serving Ian, and will sell any copyright that Ian is interested in to him at a low price.

Now it’s Tom Jack Bosen, the mole.

From now on, all the executives of major Hollywood film and television companies will become Ian’s insiders!
So Ian met with Barry Meyer and Elson, and through hypnosis, they eventually negotiated a deal whereby 2.5th Century Fox would sell Blue Sky Studios (including the rights to Ice Age, but excluding all subsequent profits from the film), the rights to X-Men, and War for the Planet of the Apes to Lockbridge Pictures for $ million. In return, Cal Media would provide th Century Fox with more publicity at a low price—which was completely untrue.

What is considered a low price? My advertising originally cost one million, then it increased to two million, and then dropped to one and a half million.

Exchanging empty promises for low prices is not unique to the Chinese.

In short, the collusion between the major shareholders and the CEO of Fox Film Corporation resulted in some of 2.5th Century Fox's most valuable assets falling into Ian's hands at a preferential price of million.

Even Ian wasn't satisfied with this.

And what about Fox News?
This is the key!
So Ian did the same thing next and continued to buy the assets he liked from Fox News.

Anyway, his purpose in becoming a shareholder is only one: to marry a mother, buy a baby, and then get divorced!

As he gets more and more negative information about someone, he won’t even have to marry his mother anymore.

The next step was to acquire RCA, which was finally acquired for 2.5 million under the hypnosis of Britney and Ian.

Ian's expectation for RCA is that with Britney's resurgence, the album should be able to sell up to around 4 million next year.

Ian believes that the rate of return is too low for investing 2.5 million but only making a maximum of 1.5 million in a year.

At this time, Ian still had 43 billion in cash, of which 20 billion was taken from Afghanistan. It was said to be investment funds, but Ian didn't care and just used it directly.

Soon after, Lino Bank announced it to the public.

Lino Bank invested 52 billion to acquire Palos Bank and Sannong Bank. Ian invested 40 billion of it, and together with his previous shares, he acquired about 60% of the shares.

At the same time, Gaskell also bought out the shares of the previous shareholders and owned 32% of the shares - all dividends were still given to Gaskell, but the corresponding interest behind the money was borne by Gaskell.

After completing the merger and acquisition, Linuo Bank has an asset scale of about 80 billion and manages assets of over billion, making it a large bank of considerable size.

But this is not enough.

What Ian wants is for Lino Bank to become the ninth largest bank in the United States in the future, which requires a larger scale - the assets of the super-large banks in the United States are often hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars, which is simply terrifying.

In contrast, regional banks, which rely on customer funds for their livelihoods, have always struggled to develop themselves, partly because they lag behind the big banks in terms of Wall Street and financial products.

For example, when Ian shorted the Italian lira, he did so through JPMorgan Chase, not Lino.

Therefore, if Lino wants to develop into such a company, it must also make efforts on Wall Street.

But that's not what Ian is considering, that's what Gaskell needs to consider.

Ian is more concerned about industry - the United States will experience industrial hollowing out in the future, but precisely because of this hollowing out, the remaining industrial systems must be controlled in our hands. After all, the scarcer it is, the more valuable it is!
For Ian, what he has to do is to help Gaskell develop Lino and become one of the most powerful banks in the United States. To achieve this, they cannot rely on just the two of them, and they must tie up a large number of shareholders.

Therefore, after Lino completed the acquisition, it began to prepare to attract more shareholders and expand its territory in the financial field.

At the same time, the true scene of the Korean bar incident was finally released by Ian.

No one expected that this piece of news, which was just gossip during the World Cup, actually hid such a deep plot behind it.

Bar fight, Britney sings and dances on the street, Ian Carr protects her.

The flying banknotes and the fierce and exciting fight became the backdrop for this perfect couple.

Produced by RCA, it became an unprecedented super MV.

Public opinion was in an uproar for a while.

“It turns out Britney was with Ian Carr at the World Cup!”

“Oh my goodness, Ian Carr is playing the flower protector again!”

"Bullshit! He must have spent that money. He was the one who caused the bar fight."

"So what? The point is it makes us happy!"

“Ian Carr never disappoints!”

"The only thing I can't understand is why Ian Carr waited until today to reveal the truth."

"That damn bastard, he never releases all the big stuff at once!"

"He has an endless supply of material."

"Oh my God, Ian Carr, how could you do this? I know you and Britney are together! No, Britney is mine!"

Countless people wailed over this.

There were those who cursed Ian Carr for stealing their love, those who marveled at Ian Carr's terrifying ability in reporting news, and those who confessed their love to Ian Carr or Britney...there were all kinds of people.

But we have to admit that the appearance of the bar MV instantly brought Britney's career, which had been in a trough, back to its peak.

The great Britney Spears, her singing can destroy a battle!

What could be more worthy of praise than this?
Soon after, Britney quickly released new songs, once again leading the American music market and becoming the talk of the town.
