American Scandal King

Chapter 307 Engineering Trap
golf course.

The small ball flew out and fell weakly into the lake again.

On the grass, Ian slammed his club, slapped his forehead, and cursed: "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! My golf skills will never improve!"

Isolt Cherry looked at him puzzledly. "The key is that your technique is very rusty. You haven't played golf much lately, have you?"

Ian took the ball and swung again: "I haven't been here since I played with you two years ago."

Isolt Cherry was speechless. "Then why are you so angry? You haven't practiced before, isn't it normal for you to play so badly?"

"Because I'm a genius! I can beat anyone's money at the poker table, and I can easily learn boxing, shooting and Arabic!" Ian answered righteously.

Although Ian promised Gaskell not to gamble in the casino, big shots would occasionally play cards when they met, and the amount of money involved was quite large.

Ian just kept it for fun and won tens of millions in the past two years.

Iseult was amused by him. "That just means you don't like golf."

Ian said confidently, "Yes, because there won't be any beautiful women coming up to me and throwing wine all over me. Do you know that I can't bear to put on my clothes because of them?"

Iseult laughed. "But it's a good place to talk about things."

When it comes to political transactions, there shouldn't be too many people around.

The golf course has an open environment, no strangers, and no need to worry about being eavesdropped, so it is indeed the preferred meeting place for many important people.

Isolt likes to discuss things here because of safety - as a politician, this is very important.

Ian looked at the ball flying through the air and muttered softly, "It's useless to me. No one can eavesdrop on me."

The two turned around and got into the car, heading to the next area.

Isoltcheri said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Ian said, "There are several state projects, the North Gate Bridge, the Beirut Tunnel, and the Riyal District construction plan. I want them."

Isoltcheri shook his head repeatedly: "That's impossible. This is a whopping 6 billion investment. I don't have that much power."

Ian smiled and said, "I just want the basic engineering part. The price is very cheap, 5 million US dollars."

Isoltcheri was stunned: "What did you say? That won't make money!"

If that's the case, Isoltcheri is really easy to control.

After all, no one can afford this price.

Ian continued, "This is my contribution to America, with only two small conditions."

Isoltcheri understood what he meant: "What?"

Ian replied: "First: $3 million upfront."

Cheri nodded, "That's no problem."

Ian continued, "Secondly, if the project is cancelled, Meihe must compensate us with a similar project equivalent to the total project value, which is 15 billion. Otherwise, we will need to pay billion in compensation."

Iseult understood what he meant.

He looked at Ian in shock. "You don't intend to complete the project? You intend to let the project fail?"

Ian chuckled softly, "Ah, I heard that right. That won't do. I guess I have to make the conditions more tactful and try not to let others realize the problem. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to push this matter forward."

He had a look on his face that said, "I'm thinking about you."

Isolt was astonished. "This is a project promoted by Governor Davis. It can't be stopped!"

"But what if Davis is no longer governor?" Ian asked.

Iseult was stunned.

Looking at his expression, Ian smiled and said, "I know there's a lot of dissatisfaction with him within the Republican Party."

In politics, major events rarely happen suddenly; most things are premeditated.

The recall of the governor was also planned long ago, and then it was a coalition effort.

As of now, the signs of this matter have already appeared.

Ian smiled at Iseult and said, "I can help you!"

Isolt took a long breath.

You knew this in advance? Ian Carr, are you a ghost?

In the original time and space, Schwarzenegger promised many things in order to get to power, including stopping the increase in license plate fees, vetoing some expensive government projects, asking the state legislature to cut the budget, and giving up the governor's salary, and most of them were achieved.

This made him extremely popular from the beginning.

Since Schwarzenegger is going to shut down some projects anyway, let me help you!

I first get the project at a low price, then pretend to invest heavily, and then I support you in closing it down... Even if you close it down again, it's impossible to close all government projects, right?
These projects with the largest investments must be abandoned, and the remaining projects that must be done must be compensated to Meihe according to the contract.

Meihe will take the 3 million advance payment and spend 15 million as a gesture, and then come back to get another project. If you don’t have enough projects, you will have to compensate me with another billion.

This was Ian's plan.

Isolte was also speechless.

He didn't understand what Ian was thinking, but at least he knew it was possible.

In fact, the reason why the Republicans want to recall Davis is certainly not because he does not serve the people as an official... Who the hell cares about this?
It’s still a matter of interests!

Many people within the Republican Party are dissatisfied with Davis, but recall is not certain to succeed.

With Ian Carr here, this matter is basically no problem!

He smiled faintly. "Yes! But you can't just pay six billion. You have to share some of the benefits with others. At this point, I think a four billion project within three years won't be a problem. But we can guarantee you 50% of the profits... if you can get the new governor's support."

Well, just quote a higher price for a small project, which is better than doing a big project.

Just like canceling the hospital project and increasing the price by 200 million.

I cannot give you a profit of 60 billion on a project worth 10 billion, but I can give you a profit of 40 billion on a project worth 20 billion.

The way things work is always so outrageous yet natural.

Ian chuckled: "How much do I need to give you?"

Isolt smiled: "Today's Ian Karl is not the Ian Karl of the past. I believe you will not be stingy."

Ian laughed and took out two checks.

He wrote a check for three million and gave it to Iseult.

Iseult accepted it with satisfaction: "You'd better prepare another ten million. We still have many friends to convince."

"Of course." Ian nodded solemnly.

It's just a matter of ten million, not worth using hypnosis on yourself.

"By the way, who are you going to support?"

"How about Arnold Schwarzenegger?" Ian asked.

Isolt was slightly surprised: "Why?"

Ian smiled. "He's been preparing for all this for a long time, and he already has quite a few friends supporting him. You know, in politics, you first bet on winning, and then consider the size of the return. And...his policy is to shut down government projects."

Isolt was shocked: "You know all this? Fuck, Ian Karl, no wonder you proposed such an agreement. I must be careful of you!"

Ian shook his head slightly: "Why should you be on guard against your friends? As long as you don't harm your friends, you never have to worry about him."

Hearing this, Isolt took a deep breath and said, "I apologize for what happened last time."

Ian knew he was referring to the Natalie Portman incident, and he asked me not to publicly support him...that would be a bit of a bridge-breaking move.

Ian smiled: "It's okay, Isolt, I never care about this... If I cared, you would have been dead long ago."

Isolt: "..."

He knew very well that he had to do Ian's job well.

He may not be angry about his own behavior of burning bridges, but he will take ruthless action against himself for his incompetence.

He smiled: "Maybe just seven million can solve this."

Ian smiled contemptuously: "Then thank you for saving me three million."

Then he closed his eyes and said nothing more.

three million?
As light as a feather, just like clouds and smoke.
