American Scandal King

Chapter 246 Like Dust

Alexandra Brier is the chairman of the Wright Corporation and has a stubborn and perverse temperament.

He is Jewish.

He didn't like Ian at all.

Although it was Ian who boosted CBS's stock price, Blair, as a small shareholder with only 3% of the shares, would not be grateful for it.

He even believed that it was because Ian had been taking action against CBS that a considerable amount of CBS's profits flowed into his hands. If he had not bought Channel 200 and other related businesses, CBS's market value would have exceeded billion long ago.

So, why be grateful?

Chairman's Office in Wright Building.

Ian sat opposite the old white man, his face calm. "Trying to use the 917/ incident to attack me is a very stupid act. Don't say you have no evidence. Even if you did, it would be useless. Americans will not accept their heroes becoming terrorists. Especially since this will drag down the entire CBS board of directors. So, what makes you so persistent?"

Alexandra Brier glared at Ian fiercely: "You are too arrogant, Ian Carr. Just for that 100 million, you betrayed CBS!"

Ian shook his head slightly. "On the contrary, Blair, you're the ones being arrogant. If you were willing to pay compensation, each of you might only need to pay a few hundred million to redeem my friendship. But you're not willing... Blair, if you can't even afford a loss of three million, why should you let me bear a loss of one hundred million?"

He chuckled softly as he spoke. "Fortunately, James Pelley is still sober. He didn't intend to take things too far. He chose to report on Ian Carr's collusion with Russia. He thought it was an opportunity for me, but he didn't realize it was actually an opportunity for himself and the board of directors. But the CBS board of directors still needs a more profound lesson before they can fully wake up... Now everyone is looking at me, they are watching for my reaction."

Alexandra Brier sneered disdainfully: "What can you do to me? Expose my dirty laundry? Do you need me to perform a live performance for you?"

The old man has been a playboy all his life. So what if you reveal that he has slept with a hundred women?

Ian laughed and said, "So you've made your choice? This is very interesting. As a partner on the board of directors, you don't even really understand who Ian Karl is... Why can stupid people become big bosses?"

Blair said angrily, "Get out of my office! Get out!"

Ian slowly stood up.

He adjusted his tie and looked at the old man expressionlessly: "Let me tell you what will happen next."

"You'll leave a video recording, in which you'll tell everyone that you orchestrated all of this. It was you who exploited your power as a director to deliberately alter Ian Carr's documentary, causing him to pay $917 million in compensation. It was you who manipulated reporters to release the fake news about Ian Carr colluding with Russia... You're even fabricating evidence to try to prove that Ian Carr orchestrated /."

"All this is because Ian Karl is not under the control of you Jews... Never mind, it's not appropriate to mention Jews now, so let's just say it's because Ian Karl is not under your control. We need to keep the public in suspense."

"Ian Carr was disappointed with CBS and so he gave up on it."

"You regret it. You think everything you did was immoral. You are willing to use your life to repent."

"And then you would send that record to News Corp."

"After leaving a record, you will open your office window and jump out of there."

The old man's eyes gradually became confused: "I arranged all this..."

"Hurry up and don't hurt my eyes too much."

Ian smiled and turned to leave the old man's office.

He took the elevator all the way down.

He walked out of the building and came to his car.

He pulled out a cigar and Bridson lit it for him.

Ian smoked his cigar silently while rubbing his aching eyes.

It hurts!

This long-term illusion control put a huge burden on Ian, causing him to shed tears and his eyesight to deteriorate.

It will take some good news to fix it.

He sighed.

The plug-in is very powerful, but unfortunately it is not long-lasting.

"what!!!"

Screams rang out from the crowd.

A black shadow fell from the sky and landed heavily on the street, its brain splattered everywhere, causing screams of terror from the surroundings.

Ian looked at the dead old man coldly, opened the car door and got in. "Let's go," he said.

----------

"Extra!"

"The chairman of the Wright Corporation has committed suicide."

"Last words..."

James Pelley sat in his office, staring blankly at the news.

He was really scared.

Just because of a conversation, Alexandra Blair committed suicide, and before committing suicide she defended Ian Carr... From now on, all attacks on Ian in the 917 incident will be regarded as slander against Ian Carr!

The question is how did he do it?
Holding the old man's family hostage and forcing them?

He doesn't care since the old man is so selfish.

James Pelley couldn't understand.

But at least he knew Ian's horror and understood why Ian said, "You'll know when the time comes."

At this moment he was staring at the news until his secretary came in.

The secretary said softly, "Mr. Murdoch is here."

James Pelley woke up as if from a dream.

He quickly stood up and said, "I'll go greet him."

In the hall outside the office, Murdoch was also watching the news.

The old man was silent.

He was not involved in the meeting between Ian and James Paley and did not know what they talked about, but he knew at least one thing: Ian Carr promised that he would get the CBS board of directors to agree to the acquisition.

Not long after, this guy named Blair committed suicide, and then Ian told him that he could now negotiate with CBS.

All this made Murdoch feel uneasy.

Murdoch didn't like this.

As a businessman, no one likes to use underworld means to solve problems.

But on the other hand, assassination is one of the mainstream ways Americans do business... They even dare to assassinate the president.

As the boss of a group who can indulge his subordinates and obtain news through eavesdropping, Murdoch is not incapable of it... He just doesn't like to get involved in such matters personally.

Ian's methods were so bizarre that even he was shocked.

More often than not, he was thinking: Can this method be replicated?

If it were possible, it would be even more terrifying.

No wonder he dared to help me first and then ask for the benefits that belonged to him.

The deal between Murdoch and Ian will take time to unfold step by step. Some people will benefit first, and some will benefit later. There will be various situations, such as defaulting on debts... Never expect a businessman to have a conscience.

But after seeing the news of Blair's suicide, Murdoch realized at the first moment that refusing to pay Ian Carr was definitely not the right way to cooperate.

This thought quickly crossed his mind when he saw James Pelley approaching with a smile on his face: "Hi, Mr. Murdoch."

Beneath his smiling face was a complexion as pale as snow.

Murdoch chuckled and said, "I hope I'm here at the right time."

That day, Murdoch and James Paley talked for a long time.

They didn't talk about Blair, they just talked about the possibility of future cooperation. As for the dead man, no one paid attention to him.

It disappeared like dust.
