Back To 1995 - Chapter 956
Chapter 956 The fisherman wins
Ella Cherry’s dislike for Jeff Skilling is almost unreal. She is a representative of the anti-monopoly faction and is known for her toughness.
Regardless of whether it is Enron or Microsoft, in her eyes, neither is a good bird. The reason why she cooperated with Jeff Skilling was to bring down the behemoth Enron as soon as possible.
For this reason, it is worthwhile in the eyes of Ella Cherry to use some special means. Those who achieve great things do not care about small things. Similarly, Ella Cherry is willing to use some special means to deal with those giant companies!
If Ella Cherry was a bit apprehensive before entering the federal prison, now she has no scruples in her actions. As long as she can win, she is willing to use any means!
Ella Cherry’s idea in the past few years was to suppress those giant companies and re-enact a set of laws to restrain those giant companies and let them develop under the constraints of the Federal Ministry of Justice, which is equivalent to putting them on a chain.
But now, Ella Cherry has completely lost this naive idea. She knows that those giant companies cannot be restrained at all, so now she only wants to dismantle those giant companies. !
Under the despairing eyes of Jeff Skilling, Ella Cherry calmly left the Houston federal prison, Enron has fallen, Jeff Skilling’s role is gone, and Ella Cherry is also There is no interest anymore. What does Jeff Skilling live in the rest of his life? What does it have to do with Ella Cherry? She still has countless important things to do.
The fall of Enron and WorldCom is not the end. There are countless large companies in America involved in financial fraud. Adelphia, the fifth largest cable TV station in America, Federal International Group, Tyco Group, etc., are all waiting The investigation team of the Federal Department of Justice to which Ella Cherry belongs is going to investigate, and it is expected to catch several big fish again!
In addition to these, there is something that Ella Cherry cares about. Microsoft has escaped from death and wants to get rid of the fate of being split. Reorganizing ICQ again, these are the companies that Ella Cherry will always keep in mind, and the company that makes her dream of dismantling it!
As soon as she walked out of the gate, Ella Cherry’s phone rang. Seeing that the address displayed on the phone number was Washington, Ella Cherry frowned. She had already vaguely guessed who was calling. After a while, she still connected the phone.
“Congratulations, Ella Cherry, your reputation has spread throughout Capitol Hill, the Iron Lady of the Federal Department of Justice, how about this title?!”
On the other end of the phone, Edward Winslow’s voice came over, “WorldCom and Enron, two of the top 100 companies in America, fell into your hands!”
In the past, Ella Cherry might still feel happy about this title, but now she doesn’t feel anything. She knows that she is just a marionette now. The powerful people in Saxon hope that she will bite those giant companies like a mad dog, and when the prey is killed, the powerful people in Anglo-Saxon will be able to come forward and eat!
Sure enough, Edward Winslow turned around and said to Ella Cherry, “Ella, the Federal Department of Justice and Capitol Hill are very satisfied with your performance, but…”
“You still need to keep an eye on the matter of Enron. You must ensure that the properties left by Enron can be “properly” handled, and they cannot be taken away by some people in improper ways!”
Ella Cherry frowned. Of course, she understood what Edward Winslow meant, which was to let her, for the powerful Anglo-Saxon figures, guard the fat of Enron, so that others would not be able to get there first.
After doing the dirty work and being a watchdog herself, Ella Cherry looked a bit ugly, but she took a deep breath and endured it.
Ella Cherry knew that Winslow was the one holding the line on her body. She was released on bail from the federal prison in advance and returned to the investigation team of the Federal Department of Justice as a consultant again. It was all arranged by Winslow. If she went against Winslow’s wishes, she was afraid that the next day, she would go back to the federal prison and continue to work on the sewing machine. Such a thing, such powerful people as Winslow, would definitely do it.
“After Enron went bankrupt, it was managed by the Federal Bankruptcy Court. It is very difficult for the investigation team to interfere with Enron’s handling!” Ella Cherry said with a frown.
Edward Winslow chuckled lightly, but what he said came with a bit of chill, “I believe in you Ella, do this well, this is what you should do!”
“By the way, regarding the matter of Adelphia TV, you and the investigation team should stop reviewing it too much. The Rigas family has already recognized the mistake, and is willing to compensate the investors, and reached a settlement!”
Finally, Edward Winslow “inadvertently” confessed that Ella Cherry should take care of Adelphia TV.
After hanging up the phone, Ella Cherry sneered. What does it mean to recognize a mistake? It’s not the Rigas family, the founder of Adelphia TV. I’m afraid it’s because they took out the family property or a huge amount of money and handed it over to the Some people, maybe Adelphia TV has now become the new major shareholder of an Anglo-Saxon family!
For this kind of thing, Ella Cherry is familiar with it and hates it to the extreme, but Ella Cherry has no choice. If she wants to do something, she needs the support of Winslow and those powerful Anglo-Saxon figures , otherwise, it would be impossible to move an inch.
Therefore, facing this kind of thing, Ella Cherry basically turned a blind eye and closed her eyes. Even if she knew that she was a knife in the hands of some people, as long as she could deal with those giant companies, Ella Cherry would bear it. !
Back at the hotel where the investigation team of the Federal Ministry of Justice stayed, I saw many members of the investigation team began to pack their luggage. Ella Cherry also returned to the room. After turning on the TV, she understood why Edward Winslow called her in a hurry. The phone is up.
”Everything that happened in Enron, the Texas municipality and the Congress have already known. We are very angry about the internal problems of Enron and will not tolerate it!”
On TV, Adrian accepted a joint interview with the media on behalf of Texas.
“However, the employees and users of Enron Group are innocent. They purchased natural gas, electricity, oil, broadband and other services from Enron, and their rights and interests should not be damaged.
There are also more than 30,000 employees of Enron in Texas. They have to support their families, pay their children’s tuition, insurance, and they have to receive pensions that they should have received. There is nothing wrong with these! “
Adrian still used that inspiring tone, speaking so confidently that people would be “convinced” unconsciously.
“Enron should fall, but the users who purchased Enron’s services, and Enron’s employees, should not bear all these losses. The state of Texas and the city of Houston will do everything possible to make Enron’s business after bankruptcy transition to Another company, we’ll be looking for a new buyer for Enron in Texas…”
Ella Cherry didn’t expect that people really don’t want their faces. Enron hasn’t declared bankruptcy yet, and it’s about to start looking for a new buyer for it. Isn’t this the robbery of Chiguoguo? They don’t even want their faces , no wonder Edward Winslow couldn’t sit still.
Adrian said that he would find a new funder for Enron in Texas, and Ella Cherry could not help but think of several major oil giants in Texas, but at this time, Ella Cherry His gaze drifted out of the window.
Through the window, you can see the outside of a commercial office building not far from the hotel. On the huge billboard, an advertisement for Alcatel mobile phones is being played.
Ella Cherry suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. She thought of another possibility, and then remembered who the big money behind Adrian and Houston boss Chuck Rhodes was, and Ella Cherry couldn’t help it. Keep clenching your fists, “Bruno Song!”
Before watching the news, Ella Cherry still felt that it was impossible, but seeing that Adrian lost his face and went into battle naked, what other reason could there be besides charging for the big money lord? !
Recalling what she heard, Song Yang also acquired an energy company under General Electric before, and Ella Cherry could immediately think of Song Yang’s next show operation.
Acquiring Baker Hughes Energy into Enron, an energy giant company can be concocted in an instant. Thinking that everything she has done may be a wedding dress for Song Yang in vain, Ella Cherry suddenly swallowed a fly The feeling is really suffocating!
