American Scandal King

Chapter 226 Going to Russia
The day after the agreement was reached, the situation regarding Natalie Portman took a turn as expected.

A man admitted that he used his life to force Natalie to frame Ian Carr and pleaded guilty.

After this incident, Natalie Portman's reputation was finally restored.

Ian Carr even brazenly stated that he understood Natalie, saying she was forced into a situation she had no choice but to face. It was his own fault for not realizing she was being forced into a situation. He would be more careful in the future and try to save every persecuted girl.

This also caused the people to cheer:

"I knew Natalie was innocent."

"She's a good girl!"

"Ian Carr is very good and generous. He forgave Natalie!"

“They’re a perfect match!”

Of course there are also sober ones.

"Is that really the case? When Natalie Portman accused Ian, it didn't look like she was forced to do so."

There is no good ending for those who are awake.

Everyone criticized him!

For Ian, it was simple.

One incident, three hot spots, and each time there was a reversal, making the Ian Natalie incident the biggest news after the World Cup incident.

Anyway, it will definitely be one of the top ten hot spots in the world.

Even those terrorist incidents cannot be suppressed.

People pay more attention to the dead than to celebrities... unless that person is broadcast live like a burning torch.

The Natalie Ian incident dominated the world for more than half a month, accompanied by a surge in sales of Black Stag Absinthe.

Everyone is interested in this wine - since there is no drug in it, it means that its aphrodisiac effect is indeed good.

Come on, this is a must for your party.

The skyrocketing value of Black Deer Winery made Ian very satisfied: Good, at this rate it will increase tenfold in at most half a year, and then Ian will sell his shares directly.

This is even more rapid than the appreciation of RCA.

Another good thing is CBS.

Since this news was directly related to Ian, and Ian signed an exclusive agreement with CBS, most of the exclusive content was given to CBS, and Fox only got some scraps.

This finally brought CBS's market value to 170 billion, not far from the target of 180 billion.

In fact, if Ian hadn't purchased some CBS resources at a low price, he would have fulfilled his promise long ago.

This is also digging a hole for yourself.

But LANN is indeed developing rapidly because of this.

Today, LANN owns several TV stations including Spark TV and Channel 4, as well as some other related resources. It has initially formed its own network, and its fixed user base is growing rapidly.

The entry of Oprah Winfrey talk show and the entry of Victoria's Secret Angels in the near future will further increase the number of LANN users.

At this time, October has arrived.

A new big event is about to happen, and Ian is finally going to start again, starting to move from gossip to violent news.

………………

On this day, Ian Carr boarded a flight to Moscow.

Sitting in the luxury cabin, Ian lay comfortably, with his secretary Ida, Bridson and Butterfly Vincent sitting next to him, and other accompanying staff in the economy cabin behind him.

"Do you need any service, Mr. Carl?" The beautiful stewardess came to Ian, bent down, and showed her beautiful career line.

Ian wasn't surprised that the other party recognized him. He smiled and said, "My only request is to fly the plane more steadily. I know the characteristics of Aeroflot. I don't want to applaud and cheer for the plane's successful landing!"

The stewardess smiled and said, "Yes, sir. I will tell the captain that there is an important person here."

Then she whispered, "My name is Ekaterina, which means pure, and I live up to my name... Perhaps you will need a translator."

Ian looked at the other man.

I have to admit that Russian beauties are indeed very charming when they are young. Although their shelf life is not long, which rich man would eat expired food?
Ian grinned and said, "Indeed. Maybe you could give me a phone number so we can contact each other when we get off the plane."

The stewardess smiled and left, coming back a moment later and handing him a note.

The Aeroflot plane started up with a loud roar and soared into the sky. The violent vibration made many passengers tremble with fear. It was obvious that the captain's "cautious driving" was not the same as the public's perception.

Leonardo DiCaprio once talked about his experience on an Aeroflot flight. It is said that one of the engines stopped, and the Aeroflot crew said: "It doesn't matter, we still have one engine."

The extent of his nerves is astonishing.

Ian thought he would experience an engine failure this time, which would be good news.

Unfortunately, it didn't happen.

Who said I'd get into trouble wherever I went? This is a complete injustice!
After a day's flight, it landed smoothly and proudly at Moscow Airport.

Russia also has reporters from major American news organizations, such as the Associated Press, United Press International, etc., and many major media organizations have cooperation.

So when Ian arrived, someone quickly took them to a nearby hotel, and Ian called Ekaterina over that night.

No nonsense, just a pleasant lovemaking session.

Afterwards, the beauty lay in Ian's arms, looking extremely graceful. "Can you tell me why you came to Moscow?"

"Travel, how about this reason?" Ian gently stroked the girl's beautiful and smooth back.

"That sounds like an excuse." The girl laughed. "So what do you think?"

"Ian Carr won't appear in a place without news. You always get a lot of valuable news. There are only two things around you. Pornography or vendetta!"

"So the Russian Federal Security Service thinks I'm here to cause trouble?" Ian was surprised.

The girl's expression changed: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Ian chuckled.

He embraced the beautiful woman and pointed at the TV across from the bed. "Installing surveillance cameras in hotels is something that people in the media are very good at. If you go out to answer the phone now, your people will tell you that the surveillance is broken and you can only hear the sound but not the picture. Actually, I don't care if they see the picture. Ian Carr's affair will not affect my career in any way. It will only attract more beautiful women to throw themselves at me. You can't use this to control me. The only thing that makes me dissatisfied is... I didn't report the news!"

Only I can report my news!

The girl took a long breath, her eyes filled with horror, but she still insisted: "That doesn't explain my identity."

"When you're doing it with me, you try your best to take care of the camera. Does that explain it? Your hands have calluses from holding a gun, and you're not good at being a flight attendant. I guarantee you couldn't last more than three days. Finally, you look weak, but your legs are actually very strong... I like this part, it feels great!"

Ian smiled and stroked the smooth thigh.

Very powerful indeed!
That is the effect of long-term exercise!

Then he stood up and put on his clothes. "They're next door, right? Let them come over. For a qualified businessman, there's nothing that can't be discussed face to face."

----------

ten minutes later.

A thin, middle-aged man with a capable face sat down in Ian's room.

When he came, he deliberately showed that he had no eavesdropping devices on him, and Ian just smiled contemptuously.

Why would I care about this?

The other party introduced himself: "Mikhail Seryosha from the Foreign Intelligence Department of the State Security Service. You can call him Seryosha, Mr. Karl. I'm sorry for earlier..."

Ian waved his hand. "Don't apologize. I understand your feelings. These are extraordinary times!"

Seryosha looked at him in surprise. "So, you really have come here with some news?"

Ian smiled: "My people received news that a group of Chechens have come to Moscow and may be doing something big."

Seryosha shook his head. "They've been trying. Can you give me more specific information?"

Ian shook his head. "I'm not a secret agent. I can't always be at the forefront of an incident. The only thing I can do is try to get as close as possible and arrive there as soon as it happens. So my people only know that they will take action, but they don't know the details. The rest we need to find on our own... As the best reporter in the world, if I can't find it in the first place, then no one else can!"

Seryosha was a little disappointed. "Oh, that's a shame."

There was a hint of distrust in his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Ian smiled and said, "Although I can't prevent crime, I can still do a lot for Russia."

Seryosha looked at him in amazement.

Ian said softly, "Don't be so confused. I'm a businessman. The reason you're targeting me is because you think I'm a valuable partner, right? As for what specific events will happen... that's not important. From a national perspective, individual events are never important!"

Seryosha's eyes flashed with excitement: "So you are willing..."

"Shh!" Ian raised a finger. "I won't spy for you. Don't even think about it. It's all business with me! Do you understand?"

Seryosha nodded repeatedly: "Of course, it's a legal business!"

While having Ian Carr spy for them was undoubtedly a good thing, as was said, it was a waste of his talent.

An American media tycoon doesn't need to be so condescending and can do more to help them!

Legal!
Ian chuckled. "Yes, it's all legal business."

Then Seryosha stood up and said, "Please allow me to make a phone call, sir."

Ian waved his hand casually.

Twenty minutes later, Seryosha came back.

He sat in front of Ian and said respectfully, "Russia is a great and strong country..."

Ian shook his head: "Ian Karl is a man without time! Time is so precious, it shouldn't be used to talk nonsense!"

Seryosha immediately changed the subject: "Americans keep talking about freedom of the press, but in reality, your control over the news is too strong, and often our voices can't be heard. They always spread rumors and slander us. We need someone who can speak for Russia and let them see our righteous side!"

Ian was amused: "That's right. Carl Media also has its own reporters in Russia."

"But they always add all kinds of dark filters and distort the facts."

"It will change! Media reports should be objective and fair, without any personal feelings!"

Seryosha smiled. "What do you want, Mr. Karl?"

Ian took a sip of his wine. “Besides oil and gas, what else does Russia have?”

Seryosha looked at Ian in astonishment: "That's impossible, sir."

This is the foundation of Russia!
Ian smiled: "That's just because we're not familiar enough yet. We can start little by little, there's a long way to go. Don't take too big steps at the beginning!"

Seryosha took a deep breath. "That makes things much easier."

He looked at Ekaterina and asked Ian, "Do you like Ekaterina's service?"

Ian grinned: "She's good, I like your seduction."

Seryosha stood up. "I can arrange more for you."

Ian nodded: "It's a good idea. It will help us understand each other."
