American Scandal King

Chapter 252: Strengthening the Nation through Reading

November 2th is a good day.

On that day, a massive fire broke out in the Daegu subway in South Korea, killing 198 people and injuring 147.

Ian did not go there in person, but sent a butterfly to the scene.

This butterfly sacrificed his life to record a lot of information about the fire, which made Butterfly famous again and further spread the reputation of Carl Media.

Their reporters are always so awesome.

At the end of February, Ian finally reached an agreement with the Jewish group through Amy Adams.

Carl Media will no longer publicize Roman Polanski's affairs and may even take the initiative to whitewash the Jews.

Ian wrote an article himself for this purpose, and the group of Jews who read it were shocked.

The article content is as follows:

"A Nation Strengthened by Reading."

[The average Israeli reads 64 books a year, and Jews, who make up more than 80% of the country's population, read as many as 68 books a year.

The Jews have a custom that when a child is born, the mother will open the Bible, drip a little honey on it, and let the child lick the honey on the Bible. Through this licking, the child will have a good first impression of the book: books are sweet.

When children are old enough to understand, almost every mother will ask this question: "If your house suddenly catches fire one day, what will you save first?"

When the child answered that it was money or diamonds, the mother would tell him seriously: "These are not important. What you should save first is the book. The wisdom hidden in the book is much more valuable than money or diamonds, and wisdom cannot be taken away by anyone."

Therefore, the Jews are the only nation in the world without illiteracy. Even Jewish beggars cannot live without books. Even when begging, they always carry books that they must read every day. Not to mention those who have no worries about food and clothing...

Author's pen name: Butterfly!

Ian was a bit shameless and didn't leave his name.

Daniel Mallett was shocked by this divine text.

Are you so good at flattery?
Apart from teaching textbooks, I have never read so many books in my life!

My goodness, if the Jews didn’t know that this was a mutual agreement, they would have thought that Ian Carr truly loved the Jews.

Ian Carr, you are so shameless!

They attacked the Jews severely in the past two years, but now they start to lick the Jews as soon as they are given benefits?
However, this also made many Jews believe that Ian Carr was not targeting the Jews, he was only targeting their interests.

That’s easy!
So much so that after reading this article, many Jews even thought that there was no need to assassinate Ian Carr, and that this man could be bribed.

However, Daniel Mallett firmly opposed this issue.

Yes, Ian Carr can be bribed, but the problem is that the price of buying him off is too high!

He is too expensive!
So Ian must not be let go, he must be killed!

The vast majority of Jews are more business-oriented, and after careful consideration, they feel that assassinating Ian Carl is more cost-effective.

Everything you do now should be considered as compensation for everything you have done in the past.

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

Office of the President of Karl Group.

Ian said into the phone: "Lake, you're going to the Philippines, right! Davao International Airport. Stay at the airport from the 3rd to the 5th and don't leave... The rest is up to you."

After arranging another butterfly, Ian put down the phone and called out, "Edith!"

A young and beautiful girl came to Ian: "Boss."

As the business grew, more and more people came around him. Ian now had two secretaries and two assistants.

The new secretary Edith is a top student at Yale University. She has overcome all obstacles and successfully stood by Ian's side.

Ian had already taken out a document and handed it over, saying, "Send this news out tomorrow."

Edith glanced at the materials and whispered, "Okay, boss. Do we need to notify the investment company?"

"That's not your business." Ian said casually.

It took a long time to finally find a suitable short-selling target. I can barely make tens of millions, which can temporarily alleviate the problem of capital hunger.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "By the way, we've already reached an agreement with Japan. Let's book the plane tickets."

After reaching an agreement with the Jews, Ian prepared to go to Japan to ask for money.

3 month 4 day.

On that day, a bomb exploded at Davao International Airport in the southern Philippine city, killing at least 19 people and injuring 144.

Still a reporter from Carl Media, Butterfly reported the entire process of the explosion on the spot.

Fortunately, he was not killed in the bombing and was able to continue his mission. On the same day, Ian Carr's plane slowly landed at Tokyo Airport.

The sun is shining and spring is blooming.

The days without terrorist attacks are wonderful!

after an hour.

Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group headquarters building.

Ian sat opposite Nobuo Suzumiya with a smile on his face.

The gray-haired old man poured tea for Ian Karl himself, smiling: "I already know the purpose of Mr. Karl's visit. We have discussed this matter and there is no problem in principle. It just takes a little time, and the necessary procedures must be followed."

In fact, in most business negotiations, an agreement has been reached before the bosses meet, and then further meetings will take place. Otherwise, the big bosses are so busy that meeting without reaching an agreement is just a waste of time.

And because of the Jewish will, this matter went smoothly from the very beginning.

However, the Jewish view is that Ian Carl will die soon, so all they need to do is help him on the surface, and in reality the loan will be used to fund other businesses after Ian's death.

In 03, Japan's benchmark interest rate was around 0.836%, fluctuating over time, but generally less than 1 point. Even when loaned to enterprises, it was just over 1 point. Including handling fees, it was much lower than the interest rate in the United States.

Ian chose this time when Japan's interest rate was the lowest, and he basically only had to pay 1 point of interest.

At this time, the exchange rate of the Japanese yen to the US dollar is 1:115, which means that Ian needs to borrow 23000 trillion yen, exchange it for US dollars and bring it back to the United States. As long as there is no major fluctuation in the exchange rate, Ian will make a lot of money.

In fact, the overall trend of the Japanese yen against the US dollar is downward. By the year when Ian traveled through time, it had reached 1:161. That is to say, if Ian repays the money in 24 years, without considering interest and handling fees, he only needs to repay US$142 billion.

Of course, this is impossible in reality, and the Japanese are even less likely to accept his practice of only paying interest every year, so it was agreed that all principal and interest would be repaid in eight years.

The reason for the eight-year repayment period is that the Japanese yen appreciated during the 12 period, reaching 1 yen to the dollar. This meant that Ian would have to pay a lot more later on, and he definitely couldn't afford this loss, so he skipped this period.

Although he has to repay more than 12 billion US dollars every year, as long as Ian Carr's business is doing well, he can still continue to borrow money from Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group to repay the debt. Even if the Japanese yen appreciates, I can just not exchange the subsequent borrowed money into US dollars and take it away after years and continue to profit from the exchange rate difference.

Another way is that when the US dollar appreciates, I borrow money from the United States and exchange it for Japanese yen to repay the debt. When the Japanese yen appreciates, I borrow Japanese yen directly from Japan to repay the debt.

In short, these methods are not rare, the only difference is whether you have the ability to do it!!!
In other words, relying solely on exchange rate differentials, Ian wouldn't be able to repay $200 billion, even with interest. He might only have to repay $200 billion of the $160 billion. Unfortunately, his understanding of finance is limited, and he only knows this part... If he were a financial industry elite, he could easily become a multi-billionaire just by speculating in foreign exchange.

At this moment, Ian and Nobuo Suzumiya only chatted for a short while, and they basically reached an agreement on the general direction.

It was a rare happy chat, and things were going smoothly. Nobuo Panyan personally invited Ian to sit in the lounge nearby. After clapping his hands, he saw several charming women in standard Japanese kimonos serving tea to Ian.

Nobuo Panyan didn't even try to cover up. He directly pulled a Japanese woman over, rubbed her plump breasts, and said with a smile: "Mr. Karl, please feel free to choose whichever one you like."

Japanese people have a tradition of doing it in the office, and it is very normal for them.

During Japan's early development stage, there was a period of time when it actively "rented" Japanese women to win the favor and support of Americans. Another country that relied on women for economic development was Vietnam, which openly shouted the slogan "Sacrifice a generation of girls to revitalize Vietnam's economy."

The Japanese don't shout like this, but they do a lot.

So this kind of thing is very normal for Japanese people.

Ian laughed and said, "I better not do that in front of you... I'm afraid of scaring you."

Nobuo Panyan laughed heartily. "American humor. I've heard your story. Two hours and twelve minutes is not your limit."

He winked at Ian and said, "I also heard that you like celebrities?"

"It's just that I'm in Hollywood. Who doesn't like the added aura?" Ian shrugged. "Aura is a threshold and a symbol of status. Things that come too easily are always not cherished."

Olivia: Indeed!
Nobuo Panyan said, "Hirosu Ryoko, Miyazawa Rie, Sakai Noriko, which one do you like?"

Ian was stunned: "Are you sure?"

This is the most famous actress in Japan at the moment. There was originally another one named Kudo Shizuka, but she has already married Kimura Takuya, and the young couple is in love, so Nobuo Suzumiya did not mention her.

The key point is that Japanese feminism still retains some strength, unlike the Korean top leaders who have such strong control over women. Can Nobuo Suzumiya call these three over?
Pan Liu Xinxiong smiled and nodded: "It's not easy, but Mr. Karl, we must treat him well no matter what and will never let you down!"

As he said this, Nobuo Panyan bowed to Ian.

Even though Japanese people like to bow, it depends on the person.

Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group is the largest bank in Japan. As the chairman, he is on equal footing with Ian, and is even half a level higher than Ian.

Especially now that Ian is borrowing money from them!

Even Ian felt that something was wrong with Nobuo Suzumiya's enthusiasm.

This doesn't seem like the Jewish response under high pressure.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Thank you very much for Mr. Nobuo's enthusiasm. Is there anything I can do for your company?"

Nobuo Panyan laughed: "You have done a lot for us. Japan's three emergency laws are thanks to you!"

Is there a three-way bill?
Ian was stunned.

Fuck!
