Chapter 632

Houston, a luxury estate somewhere.

This is the home of Kenneth Lai, founder and former chairman of Enron.

At the moment, the atmosphere in the living room of the manor is dignified. Even if all the furnishings around are high-end furniture, it can not hide the dispirited atmosphere in the manor.

Founder and former chairman of Enron: Kenneth Lai;

Former CEO of Enron: Jeffrey Skilling;

Enron's current CFO (chief financial officer): Andrew Fastow;

These three people are undoubtedly the helmsman of the huge ship of Enron energy company, and they are the core of the core. They dominated the Enron incident, making false financial statements, seeking personal gains, internal transactions, and lying to auditors

The living room smelled of cigars~

"Chairman, Mr. Skilling, we can't hide it."

Andrew Fastow, the chief financial officer, gritted his teeth. His face was cold, but he was still flustered.

Kenneth Lay was silent.

Jeffrey Skilling did not say a word.

Today, Enron has been forced to admit that the company has made false accounts.

The false profit was as high as $600 million.

It's something that others can put off, for example, saying they don't know at all, but... As chief financial officer Andrew Fastow, how can he put it off?

Can Andrew Fastow not know the accounts of Enron and its subsidiaries, including those of affiliated enterprises?

Even if he said he didn't know, would the investigation team believe it?

"Fitz, Tony, field, motoves... Have all been taken away by the investigation team. I don't think they can last long. I will be summoned by tomorrow afternoon at the latest," financial officer Andrew Fastow said

The voice fell.

Kenneth Lay and Geoffrey skilling looked at each other without saying a word.

Bang!!!

All of a sudden, financial officer Andrew suddenly clapped his case and roared: "you two bastards, are you going to let me be the scapegoat?"?! Don't forget that we are grasshoppers on a rope. If I am finished, you can't get rid of the responsibility. "

Kenneth Lay and Geoffrey skilling look alike.

"Ha ha ~"

Skilling said with a smile, "don't worry, Andrew. You also said that we are grasshoppers on a rope. How can we let you be the scapegoat?"

Kenneth Lai, the big boss, immediately said, "that's it. We won't ignore it."

On hearing this, Andrew, the financial officer, looked a little better.

"What do you think we should do now?"

Financial officer Andrew said: "now Enron's grim situation can be described as a whole. The materials exposed at present are enough to hurt us. However, once more materials are exposed, we can not escape the fate of going to prison."

Going to jail?

As soon as this remark came out, Kenneth ledang, the big boss, was furious.

"I'd rather die than go to prison!"

That's Kenneth Lay's bottom line.

He is over 60 years old this year. Once Enron is fully verified, he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being tried. Coupled with his old age, it can be predicted that he may die in prison. How can Kenneth Lai, who has been in power all his life, accept this?

From the first half of Kenneth Lai's life, it can be said that "success is safe and failure is safe".

As the founder of Enron, he didn't have any family background. He was born in poor Michigan farm when he was a child. His father started a livestock feed shop.

Therefore, he can only fight with both hands.

In 1960, Kenneth Lay was admitted to the University of Missouri, but he had no money to pay his tuition. So he worked hard to make money, and finally managed to make up for the expenses. After a few years of hard work, he successfully got an MBA and a doctorate in economics.

Later, he founded Enron;

For decades, he finally brought Enron to the top, making it the sixth largest energy company in the world.

Once brilliant, he became the representative of "American Dream".

"In prison?"

"There's no way..."

"After decades of struggle, can I end up in prison? never! I would rather die than become a joke in other people's spare time

At this moment, as a big boss, Kenneth Lai has made a decision in his heart.

"Andrew Fastow!"

Kenneth Lay looked at Andrew, the chief financial officer, and said in a deep voice, "I'll contact the mayor of Houston and the governor of Texas and try to get at least three days of time..."

"Boss, only three days?"

Chief financial officer Andrew interrupted, looking ugly.

"Hum!"

Kenneth lelleng snorted and said, "don't you know what's going on? It's lucky to be able to fight for three days. In these three days, you have to deal with the tail well, or we will end up together. "

So far, Andrew had no choice but to bow his head.

He also knew that Kenneth Lay really had no choice.

After some words, the huge, luxurious and luxurious hall fell into a dead silence again.

Although they are reluctant to admit it, they also know a fact in their heart, that is, Enron is about to sink.

There's no one to save!

.......

The next day.

At noon.

Jeffrey Skilling, former CEO of Enron, was summoned by the investigation team.

The whole inquiry, or interrogation, lasted for four hours. He just came out. Skilling, who has just come out, is facing the long guns and short guns of a large group of media reporters.

"Mr. Skilling, after yesterday's fall, Enron's share price fell again this morning when the U.S. stock market opened. What's your opinion?"

A reporter from the New York economic times asked aloud.

At present, other media reporters are not willing to be outdone and have issued inquiries.

"Mr. Skilling, the Houston municipal government promised two months ago that it would lend Enron more than US $1 billion in cash in the form of interest free and low interest loans. Will the funds arrive?"

"It is said that the investigation team has been integrating evidence and will sue you, including loan fraud, financial fraud, securities fraud, e-mail fraud, planning and participating in money laundering, internal illegal transactions and so on. How do you defend yourself?"

"Up to now, there have been a large number of investors holding Enron's stocks and bonds, who have been working in Enron's headquarters for several days..."

......

A large number of media reporters asked, resulting in the scene was chaotic.

"You shouldn't ask me," Jeffrey Skilling growled in front of the cameras. "I've resigned now. I'm just the former CEO of Enron."

The voice just dropped.

Even when a middle-aged reporter burst out and said, "are you deliberately shirking responsibility when you leave the post of CEO?"

Jeffrey Skilling's face was very ugly.

This reporter is right, he is shirking responsibility.

As early as the middle of 2001, Enron revealed its problems. Kenneth Lai, chairman and CEO of Enron, is such a thief!

Throw the pot!

Kenneth Lay stepped down and successfully left the pot to Jeffrey Skilling, then vice president. But... Jeffrey Skilling is not a vegetarian either!

After only a few months in office, Jeffrey Skilling did another trick: Lao Tzu resigned.

But all this is nothing but self deception.

Do you really think resigning will work?

The second watch is on.
