American Scandal King

Chapter 274 Return to Baghdad

In the hotel, Ian was talking on the phone while looking at the day's records.

In addition to the assigned reporters from Carl Media, Dill Chandler also brought two new butterflies this time. They were both pretty good guys, and one of them filmed the gunfight during the day.

"Yes, I'm fine... I couldn't call because of the communication blockage before, so don't worry, Lena." Ian comforted her softly.

There was no news during this period, which made Lena very anxious.

Lian Na asked in confusion: "Why did I hear gunshots?"

Ian laughed and said, "I'm here with the gunshots in the video. I'll turn the volume down."

Lian Na sighed: "You always like adventure, Ian. No matter how much money you have, adventure seems to have become a part of your life. I want to dissuade you, but that is what attracts me most about you."

Ian comforted her softly, "I'm just confident."

"How long are you going to stay?"

"I'll be in Baghdad for about a week, then I'll go see Saddam, and after that this should be over pretty quickly."

"Well, I'm glad to know you're okay. That's all I need to do."

Ian was surprised: "You don't plan to talk to me more?"

Lena said faintly: "I want to, but I know you also have to give to Scarlett, Kate, Britney, Jessica, Amanda, Barbara, Cressy, Shauna, Helen, Ekaterina, Natasha, Gal Gadot, Megan Fox... maybe Anne Hathaway, Olivia, Kim Hee Sun, Hirosue Ryoko..."

Ian's scalp tingled when he heard this: "I know I was wrong, baby."

Lian Na laughed softly: "But you won't change. Ian Karl has always been very generous. He never hesitates to apologize, nor does he need others to apologize to him, and he will never correct his mistakes!"

That's because I don't think it's a mistake.

From ancient times to the present, beautiful girls have always been an important resource!
The meaning of a businessman is to obtain resources!

Ian whispered, "All of them put together are not as good as you."

Just as Lena said, the next step was to make phone calls one by one.

The phone calls alone took several hours.

Those repetitive words were said over and over again, so much so that Ian got fed up with it and simply made up a story and sent it to a group of people.

Finally, send a message to Murdoch.

Knowing that Ian was in Iraq, eating, traveling and interviewing with Saddam, even Murdoch, who is good at journalism, was dumbfounded.

Never seen it!

I’ve never seen this before!
Ian Carr, you are now a billionaire boss.

Can you still be so crazy?

However, Murdoch was shocked and ecstatic!

He knew he had made the right bet and that this was bound to be great news.

Its explosiveness may still not be as good as 917, but its continuity and staying power far exceed 917.

That is truly something that only a god-level reporter can do!!!
When Ian returns from completing all the interviews, the content he has can dominate the headlines for half a year, occupy more than several months, and create billions of dollars in wealth!!!
Murdoch can even use this information to negotiate prices with all advertisers!
That's a ton of money!
Murdoch was very excited about this and encouraged Ian to go ahead and do it. He said, "Just tell me if you need anything. I will cooperate with you throughout the process. I can even give you my wife if you are willing."

Your wife is too ugly, I don’t want her!
Ian said, "Let's talk business, Rudolph. In return, I want you to give CBS's Oscar and Super Bowl broadcasting rights to LANN, free of charge."

When it comes to money, Murdoch complains: "That's too much, Ian."

"That's not excessive. You know how valuable this news is. Besides, you also own 30% of Cal Media, and you own a similar amount in CBS. You didn't lose anything; it was only CBS that lost. And after the news comes out, the benefits to CBS will be even greater, more than enough to make up for it all!"

Murdoch was silent.

After a while, he said, "Okay!"

By the time all this was done, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.

The night is dark and it is time to set out again.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Ian opened the door and was slightly startled to see that it was Ida. "Ida? What's going on?"

His secretary looked at him with a smile: "I just thought you were alone here, so I came to see you."

I have company.

Saddam has several Iraqi girls on his side.

But there is no arrangement here. Looking at Ida who volunteered, Ian chuckled and shook his head: "No, Ida, it's my principle not to touch secretaries."

Ida had squeezed into the room.

She took off her coat very casually and said, "I don't want to be your secretary anymore, Ian Karl. I want to go to Karl Investment. I majored in finance and I'm good at it."

Then she turned around and looked at Ian: “Let me go to Karl Investment.”

Ian was slightly stunned.

It is normal for a boss to promote his secretary.

Firstly, these people are very capable. Secondly, they have been with their boss for a long time, understand their boss, know what their boss values, and can implement their boss's strategic needs more effectively.

It is for this reason that the secretary party is widespread.

This type of people are good at understanding the intentions of their superiors, but their disadvantage is that they lack the ability to expand their territory. After all, they are not taking the entrepreneurial route and lack relevant experience and training.

But what Carl Investment needs is not the investment department's self-investment ability. After all, all investment decisions are made by Ian. All they need to do is to provide post-investment services, contract execution, financial supervision, taxation and legal work.

These things are very suitable for secretaries!

Especially secretaries like Ida who graduated from a finance major.

Because of this, Ian had already had this intention, but he didn't expect Ida to take the initiative to propose it.

He smiled at Ida and said, "He's one of us too. It will still affect our work."

Ida naturally took off her blouse and black straight pants, and now she was only wearing a tube top and white underwear.

She snuggled up to Ian and said, "I don't want any special privileges. If I don't do well enough, you can punish me!"

She looked at Ian, her eyes shining with admiration: "You are Ian Karl, the greatest man I have ever met. I am lucky to be able to work for you and sleep with you! I just simply want you! My identity as a secretary has restricted me, and now is an opportunity. Satisfy me, okay? My boss!"

Listening to Ida's words, Ian was speechless. He made a final resistance: "I'm planning to go out and do something, you know."

"There's still time." Ida said softly, pulling off the last piece of cloth covering her body.

She pulled Ian's tie and walked towards the bed, her eyes full of desire and longing.

Damn!

It’s not easy to hold the bottom line!
………………

after an hour.

When Ida came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, she saw Ian already dressed.

She looked at Ian with bright eyes: "One hour is not your limit, you seem really anxious."

Ian casually said, "I need all sorts of dirty laundry on the US military, including the indiscriminate killings of innocent people, torture of prisoners, and political deals. Saddam and I have agreed to meet in ten days. Excluding the negotiation time, I only have three or four days to gather the dirty laundry. The negotiations will take time, and the journey back will take time. I can only work at night, so every minute counts."

"It sounds like I delayed you." Ida muttered.

I felt a little disappointed.

Although she never expected Ian's love, Ida still hoped that Ian would give her more tenderness.

Ian put on a tight suit that made it easier for him to move, checked the cameras, eavesdropping devices and other items, and put them away one by one.

He turned to look at Ida. "When you get back, you'll take a position at Karl Investment, in charge of the overseas investment department. Especially regarding South Korea. Although their accounts appear to be fine, I know Samsung Group can't possibly have grown to this level! The profits are off, the dividends are low, and the market capitalization growth is problematic. I suspect they've transferred some of their profits."

Ida immediately said, "Wall Street is a major shareholder of Samsung. They can't just sit back and watch this happen."

Ian nodded. "So I suspect this is a conspiracy between Samsung and those Wall Street guys to screw me... Wall Street doesn't like me, and the Koreans might not like me either. If profits are to be transferred, they must go somewhere. Find it, even if it's just the direction!"

Ida answered decisively, "Okay!"

Ian continued, "Your salary will be tripled."

Ida sighed softly: "I don't care about that. I just hope that one day when I miss you and come to you, you won't reject me because of my identity."

She said and threw herself into Ian's arms: "I swear to you, I will never take advantage of our relationship, I just want a little tenderness from you!"

Hearing this, Ian softened slightly.

He kissed Ida's face gently: "Then it's settled. You can send me a message when you miss me... By the way, sleep here tonight and wait for me to come back."

Hearing this, Ida finally smiled happily.

She gave Ian a long, deep kiss.
