American Scandal King

Chapter 245: Means outside of business
On the third floor terrace of the Warwick Hotel in New York.

Ian sat in a rocking chair, gazing at the blue sky in the distance.

More than a year has passed since 917/1, and the sky over New York is sunny again. The dark clouds in the hearts of Americans have shifted to Afghanistan and will soon shift to Iraq... George W. Bush has made it clear that he wants to attack Iraq.

Another war is about to begin, which helps Ian fulfill his promise to Amr Hussein.

Ian liked that.

He withdrew his gaze and fell on James Perry opposite him.

James Pelley looked at Ian helplessly, with melancholy in his eyes.

So Ian smiled slightly and said, "Passed."

A simple "pass" pierced James Perry's heart like a knife.

From Ian's expression, he saw not Ian Carr's anger at CBS's counterattack, but the long-awaited laughter.

This made James Perry feel particularly anxious.

He sighed softly, "You did it first."

Ian shook his head slightly.

Using the Russiagate to attack him is a very boring thing.

On the one hand, Ian is a businessman, and it is normal for him to invest in Russia. On the other hand, the shares of Russian natural gas are in Lena's hands, and on the surface they have nothing to do with him.

If it just depends on Delta United, there won't be any problem at all.

Collusion with Russia has never been a fatal problem for businessmen - as long as you are not spying for the Russians, it is outrageous to be accused of collusion with Russia in normal business activities.

All we can say is that CBS's counterattack was sympathetic.

But Ian was still unhappy.

James Pelley knew his relationship with Lena, so he knew that Lena's natural gas shares belonged to him.

This means that the release of this news is related to James Pelley.

He looked at James Perry and said, "I didn't do anything. Or rather, the only thing I did was sell the stocks I had."

The unfavorable news during this period were all released by News Corporation, and they were all obvious and not black material.

It can be said that Ian was indeed very restrained this time.

Although James Paley is Jewish, he is not a Zionist and has a decent relationship with Ian.

Even in this incident, he was not the mastermind behind it.

His only mistake was probably not pushing the board of directors to pay the 100 million yuan in compensation.

It's really like sacrificing the overall situation for a little money!

Of course, James Pelley wouldn't think so.

He knew Ian.

He knew that the 100 million was just an excuse, and Ian attacked CBS simply because he had a better way to make money.

Just as he used Sony's default on its debts to attack Sony, his essence was also to make money.

Although he is young, he is a qualified businessman. Hatred is always just an excuse for him to attack, and making money is the essence of his actions!
Otherwise, he would not have touched Madoff until now.

But what good does it do to know?
At this moment, Ian said softly, "If we're compatible, we'll stay together. If we're not, we'll go our separate ways. I adhere to this principle. We don't have any deep hatred, so I didn't do anything to CBS."

James Pelley looked at him. "I haven't done anything extreme...your actions have already had a great impact on us."

Ian sneered: "That was done by News Corporation, what does it have to do with me?"

As he said this, he took out some documents from his bag and handed them to James Perry.

Looking at the document, James Pelley's pupils dilated slightly.

He once thought that Ian had his own black material, but he didn't care at first. Later, when a conflict arose, Ian didn't release it, so James Pelley thought he didn't have it, or it was not important.

Until now...

He looked at Ian in astonishment.

This document clearly records how he joined forces with a group of directors to drive out CBS founder Ted Toner in order to get promoted, including colluding with Time Warner, the former major shareholder of CBS, and bribing his subordinates to accuse Ted Toner, among other illegal deeds.

If these things were to get out, CBS would be hit hard again, and even Ted Toner wouldn't let him go... Although the latter was kicked out by him, he is still a powerful business tycoon today!
Ian smiled calmly and said, "No one is clean, it just depends on whether they can be caught. For the sake of our past friendship, I didn't put these out, but you resorted to slandering them, which is not good." Ian smiled lightly.

It's like two people arguing on the street. One throws a punch, and the other hits back, giving them a harder lesson. Then the other feels they've been wronged and continues to fight back fiercely...

This is how the incident escalated.

But Ian doesn't plan to do this. After all, killing CBS and James Paley is not his goal... He needs some non-Zionist Jews to be his friends to demonstrate his deep friendship with the Jews!
At this moment, Ian said softly, "I promised Murdoch that I would sell my shares to him and lower the price. That's all. But I really don't like your reaction. But do you know what's the funniest thing?"

James Pelley said nothing, just looked at him silently.

Ian said, "The funniest thing is that I guessed your reaction."

He leaned over to James Peddle. "I know you have some information about me... You want to use it to control me? It's no use, James. Why don't you tell me your plan?"

James Pelley took a deep breath. "You knew in advance that the plane would crash. What about it?"

Hearing this, Ian laughed out loud.

He covered his face with his hands, laughing unrestrainedly and heartily, laughing so hard that even James Perry was stunned.

After a while, Ian put his hand down.

He shook his head and looked at James Pelley, "James! James! Why am I judging everything you do? It makes winning feel like nothing."

He threw up his hands. "What are you going to do? Modify the board meeting log and die with me? No, don't say you don't have the courage. Even if you did, it would be useless. I know this wasn't recorded in the board meeting that day. Who would record evidence to kill themselves? Or fabricate evidence out of thin air to try to send me to hell?"

James Perry's face was heavy.

Yes, the Russia collusion was just a warning, and what they thought was the real killer was Ian Carr knowing about the 917/ incident in advance.

But Ian's expression was full of disdain.

This made him a little nervous, but he finally said, "You know the media is best at making up fake news. Although we have no evidence, Filieleso's appearance on the plane, and even the transcript of his private interview with Mohammed Atta, suggests you might know something. Furthermore, your bet with us is also evidence. We will prove that you were only on the plane by chance, but because you knew about this in advance, you chose to fight against those terrorists... Sometimes it's easy to make up excuses. The law may not be able to judge you, but the public will doubt you."

Ian was surprised: "You guys are still thinking of leaving yourself out of this? Stupid!"

He shook his head in disdain. "I haven't had a very good reputation in Jewish circles lately. Since you're Jewish, I won't make things difficult for you... There has to be a Jew to speak up for me. So, James, tell me who's the one who wants to kill me. Then I'll show you what it means to not play with fire!"

James Pedley looked at him in surprise.

For a moment he wanted to say, "Are you really so confident?"

But seeing Ian's eyes and his domineering and confident expression, he finally backed down.

Every time he saw that look, Ian Carr would fulfill his promise.

He thought seriously for a while, and finally said: "Alexandra Brier, he is a firm and uncompromising person."

Ian hummed softly. "Although you and I are no longer partners, we can still be friends! For our friendship, I won't continue to release this information. But when the time comes, you must revise your statements and admit that the so-called Ian collusion with Russia is fake news."

"When?" James Pelley was puzzled.

There was no problem in changing the statement. These cunning businessmen had left themselves a way out from the very beginning. What he didn't understand was why Ian was so confident that he could deal with that stubborn old man Alexandra Brier.

Ian smiled and replied, "You'll know when the truth comes out."

He leaned back in his chair and said, "I will sell all my shares to Murdoch. The board of directors must approve this. He will become your new controlling shareholder. As for how far he will go... Honestly, I don't care, and I won't ask."

"Besides Ankang, who else will support you?" James Perry asked immediately.

Ian smiled slightly: "You!"

I?
James Pelley was stunned.

I support you selling CBS to Murdoch?
Are you kidding me?
So the so-called CBS insider you mentioned is me?

Do not! Do not!
This is absolutely impossible!
He shook his head repeatedly: "Just with what you have? That's not enough."

"No, that's just my generous gift, which means I won't do anything to hurt my friends!" Ian has already stood up.

He looked at James Pelley sternly and said, "I've already given you the gift. Everything I've done before has never been beyond the scope of business. But when someone uses non-business means to deal with me, I will let him know what kind of existence Ian Karl is on the dark side of the earth."

He has a crooked mouth.

He brought out the Dragon King's smile: "You will know what to do when the time comes."

With that said, he turned and left.
