American Scandal King

Chapter 261: 03 Hot Selling Pre-order

3 month 11 day.

The loan process between the Carr Group and Mitsubishi Financial Group has been approved.

23000 trillion yen was transferred into the account and converted into US dollars and entered into Ian's account in the United States.

Nobuo Sasaki warmly hugged Ian and said, "I hope the incident at Tokyo Tower has not affected your impression of Tokyo."

Ian laughed and said, "I should be the one saying this. It's me who has caused you all so much trouble."

He looked apologetic.

Since I have gained so many benefits from you, I am willing to learn Japanese etiquette.

Ian gave him a low bow.

Nobuo Yanagi looked at him speechlessly.

Ian Carr, what kind of man are you?
Now he actually understood why the Jews helped Ian Karl so much. It turned out that from the beginning, they did not expect this to succeed... This loan should have been handed over to other companies after Ian Karl's death.

Mossad!
Ian Carr!

You guys really know how to play!

But what does it matter if you know?

The Jews failed to kill Ian Carr, but instead caused a bizarre explosion at Tokyo Tower. Because of irrefutable evidence, Israel had no choice but to admit it, stating that it was the work of dissidents within its ranks, and offered a sincere apology.

The non-public kind.

For a moment, Tokyo wanted to stop the loan.

But after repeated consideration, they finally gave up.

Firstly, Ian Carl is someone that even Mossad can't kill. If he tries to provoke him, it will bring trouble to himself.

Secondly, only civilians died, and it was Israel that took the blame and made the compensation. The impact on Japan was not significant, and it could even demand a price.

Thirdly, Nobuo Suzumiya himself did not want to stop the transaction... Ian Carr's management ability was still no problem, and everyone was willing to lend money to people who could make money.

Since it is a profitable business, why refuse it?

Anyway, it was the Tokyo Tower that was bombed, not Mitsubishi Financial... and the Tokyo Tower didn't collapse!

After the matter was done, Ian did not stay any longer and took Gal Gadot back to the United States.

This girl will also start her American Hollywood life early. As for how far she can go, it depends on herself.

The Tokyo Tower explosion caused Ian's right eye experience to increase again. After continuous accumulation, it has reached nearly ten thousand.

However, the next level upgrade requires 5 experience points, so there is still a long way to go, so I don’t expect it this year.

Anyway, Ian’s abilities are sufficient, so there is no rush to upgrade.

………………

After returning to Los Angeles, Ian went to see Gaskell first.

As expected, the first thing that happened was Lena's complaints, biting, and pinching.

For Ian's life-threatening reporting, and also for his extramarital affairs...

She grabbed Ian's ears and said, "Bring back another one? Huh?"

Ian replied with pain: "Send it to Hollywood. I won't see it every day."

Lian Na said angrily: "Hollywood is almost becoming your harem."

Ian felt so wronged.

Others pick up goods from Hollywood, but I deliver goods to Hollywood.

Well, there is also pickup.

The key point is that I haven’t reported much on Hollywood recently. I originally wanted to do some more Hollywood reports, but looking at Lena’s expression, I’d better give up for now.

He smiled apologetically and said, "That's enough, honey. I won't look for other girls for the time being."

Are you still temporarily?

Lian Na said viciously: "I think it's most convenient to squeeze you dry."

That's not easy, baby, I'm in great shape now!

After some banter, Ian sat back down next to Gaskell, hugged his son, and said, "I have nearly 30 billion now, so I can consider acquiring Meiyi."

Gaskell smiled and said, "Bank One's market capitalization is around $500 billion, so we're still $200 billion short. But maybe a cross-shareholding would be possible."

"No, there won't be any cross-holdings this time. We'll acquire Meiyi first, then discuss a merger with JPMorgan Chase, and then dilute the shares." Ian said, "The remaining 200 billion can be used by Ankang and Dubang to invest."

Ankang and Dubang would be happy to invest in a large bank.

"all?"

"No, look at the red stone."

Gaskell understood: "Are you closing the net? Madoff only added another $20 billion."

Did Madoff only pay 30 billion?

This didn't satisfy Ian.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Let Galbraith keep working hard. Getting another $20 billion will be enough. Then I'll get the $30 billion from Afghanistan, and, oh, the $30 billion loan from Linuo Bank."

Gaskell nodded. "That should be enough, but the negotiations will take a long time."

Ian shook his head: "It would be best if it could be completed within a month."

Gaskell was stunned: "Why the rush?"

Ian said seriously, "I'm going to Iraq in April and may not be back for several months."

Lena and Gaskell were both stunned.

Lena grabbed Ian and said, "Don't joke, Ian. The Iraq War will start soon. You can't go to Iraq at this time!" Ian looked at Lena seriously and said, "This is exactly why I want to go there."

Lena was stunned, her face turning pale with concern.

Gaskell looked at Ian in confusion: "I don't understand, Ian. You didn't go to the Afghanistan War, so why did you go to the Iraq War?"

"Because it's different." Ian said slowly.

What can I say?
There's some great news in Iraq, a news event that could be as sensational as 917/?
A super news that didn’t exist in the previous life, but can be created with my help in this life?

As a journalist, Ian's god-level reporter heart never died.

Even though he is now a billionaire, he will not miss any opportunity to make big news.

This is the case with Iraq this time!

It’s just different from 917. The explosive point of 917 was subversion, the innovation of terrorist methods, and the large number of casualties. But this time, it was the long duration and the continuous following and experience!
There was no way Ian was going to pass up this opportunity.

Ian just threw a huge problem to Gaskell.

A lot needs to be done to complete the acquisition of Bank of America within a month.

Fortunately, Gaskell had already made preparations and had almost completed the background check and preliminary contacts on Bank of America.

Bank of America has been experiencing a downturn in recent years. Although Linuo is not well-known, the major shareholder behind it is Ian Carr, an American business wizard... Banks also need media support!

So Gaskell thought quickly and said, "Then you'd better tell me your plan. I must use this opportunity to convince Meiyi."

Is that so?
Like convincing CBS with 917/?

Ian understood.

He thought seriously for a while, then said, "What do you think about the Iraq War? I mean, who wins and who loses."

The couple looked at each other and said in unison: "Of course America wins."

"how long?"

Gaskell laughed and said, "Judging from the experience in Afghanistan, we could reach Baghdad in two weeks."

Ian nodded. "The information I received is that the US military will send troops around March 3th. According to my judgment, they will reach Baghdad in about half a month."

"And then?" Gaskell wondered.

Ian laughed and said, "What do you think Saddam will do then?"

Saddam Hussein?

Gaskell and Lena looked at each other.

It was Lian Na who said, "Run away."

Gaskell suddenly understood as he said this: "You're not going to interview Saddam Hussein while he's fleeing, are you?"

Ian chuckled: "That's right! That's it!"

Saddam ran, but he was eventually caught.

This incident also caused a sensation in the old time and space, but it was not explosive enough.

But what if a reporter escaped with him?
Interview him all the way, follow his whereabouts, see everything he experienced, and all the decisions he made!
Let people see how a country's president behaves when he is at his lowest point.
Are you still a great person with great ambition and ambition?

Or is it that the so-called big man is also a loser at the critical moment of life and death?

The public will love it!

Good journalists spend years tracking a story, but Ian rarely spends that much time.

But Saddam Hussein, you are worth it!

The exiled life of the exiled president!
I will be your best partner on the road to escape. You are the cheetah, lion, jackal, hyena, buffalo that I follow on the savannah...

I will live with you and watch everything about you until you are caught by the US military, and then leave you with that eternal classic picture!

This is the reservation for Ian Carr’s first breaking news in 03!
This capitalizes on the rebirth, while also tapping into his talent for making news!

Gaskell was speechless.

He didn't want to ask Ian how he did it, he just asked, "How long will it take?"

Ian shook his head: "I don't know."

In the original time and space, Saddam Hussein was captured in December 03, but Ian did not intend to waste eight months on Saddam.

It will probably take two or three months at most, once all the news materials have been collected, and then we can sell it to the Americans.

Although Saddam's death was somewhat unjust, he was indeed not a good person and was a complete tyrant.

Ian has no psychological burden in selling such people.

But this also means that he may not be able to participate in the negotiations to acquire Meiyi. Without Ian's hypnosis, the acquisition price may be tens of billions higher - although Meiyi Bank is valued at 500 billion, this is Gaskell's valuation, not Meiyi's own judgment.

Their valuation in the old time and space was 580 billion!
Gaskell thought hard.

After a while, he said, "I don't have the ability to complete the merger of Bank of America within a month."

"Huh?" Ian was stunned.

Gaskell smiled: "But you have the power to delay the start of the Iraq War."

Hearing this, Ian's eyes narrowed slightly.

Delay the start of the Iraq War?

Ian doesn't have the ability to stop the war, but he can certainly delay it.

"how long?"

"Add at least another half a month."

"it is good!"
