Back To 1995

After leaving Kenneth's office, Jeff Skilling walked outside. The rebound of Sharon Watkins, the vice president of Enron, was beyond Jeff Skilling's expectation. Those who dare to burn jade and stone together!

  Who would have imagined that two giant companies, Enron and WorldCom, would fall into the hands of a woman at the same time. Sharon Watkins' move also disrupted Jeff Skilling's deployment.

  According to Jeff Skilling’s plan, as long as the price of energy futures picks up, relying on the “Enron Online Platform”, he can cut a few handfuls of leeks, and the huge debt owed by Enron will not be a problem and can be filled.

  As long as the debts are repaid, Enron’s revenue and dividends will far exceed those of its peers, and it will be able to settle all doubters and troubles. At that time, Enron will still be singing and dancing, and it will still be singing and dancing, and Enron will still be an energy giant!

  At that time, Jeff Skilling took over the position of president of Kenneth, which was a matter of course, but it is not the case now, and Kenneth will be blamed.

Kenneth treated him really well, brought Jeff Skilling from Wall Street to Enron, gave him power, and Jeff Skilling went from Enron to a huge fortune, even on Wall Street, Jeff Skilling It may not be as beautiful as it is now.

But Jeff Skilling is a human being, and he has selfishness. Kenneth is good to him, but this does not mean that Jeff Skilling will be the scapegoat for Kenneth. The 52-year-old Jeff Skilling, in the ranks of professional managers, is in the prime of his life, he is not reconciled, he spent half of his life in the federal prison for the rest of his life!

Back in the office, Jeff Skilling hesitated for a while, and finally picked up the phone and dialed a number, "I'm Jeff Skilling, maybe, I can consider your proposal, Ella Cherry Miss!"

Half an hour later, Jeff Skilling put down the phone with a sigh of relief. A few days ago, the woman named Ella Cherry called Jeff Skilling and proposed to him a "cooperation" proposal.

  As long as Jeff Skilling cooperates with the investigation team of the Federal Department of Justice where Ella Cherry is located, and proves Enron's criminal evidence, then Jeff Skilling can be let go.

The suggestion made by Ella Cherry is very tempting. If Jeff Skilling does not act as an internal response to help the Federal Department of Justice kill Enron, then when they find evidence, Jeff Skilling will follow An Ran was buried together, and may face a maximum sentence of 278 years in prison.

And as long as Jeff Skilling is willing to cooperate, he may be sentenced to about 12 years, but in fact, he will not be able to sit for that long, and the time will be shortened in the middle. If all goes well, he may be sentenced to three to five years, Even if you come out in a shorter period of time, you may be released from prison on bail after paying a huge amount of bail.

The thing that moved Jeff Skilling the most was Ella Cherry's promise that as long as Jeff Skilling is willing to cooperate, the Federal Department of Justice will only fine him several million dollars just like Zhang Xing He will not be fined a huge amount, and the Federal Department of Justice will not deal with the money he got from Enron, as well as the Enron stock he cashed out.

  In America, everyone knows the importance of a good knife. If he loses his value, then Jeff Skilling feels that he might as well die in a federal prison.

  As long as he keeps his worth, Jeff Skilling will still have a chance to make a comeback when he comes out of the federal prison. As for the black material on him, as long as he has a dollar, who will mention it in front of him? !

  Dead friends don’t die poor people. Faced with the question of who will die, he or Kenneth, Jeff Skilling naturally chose the latter.

  After making this phone call, Jeff Skilling notified his stockbroker and his family members to frantically sell their Enron shares.

After dealing with all this, Jeff Skilling thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called, "Fastow, I need you to come to my place, I have something very important to tell you, yes , don't let other people see..."

  A moment later, Fastow, Enron's chief financial officer, came up the stairs, entered Fastow's office, and then left angrily.

  After Fastow, Jeff Skilling called several Enron executives to come. Those who left Jeff Skilling's office were all angry, worried and apprehensive.

   Heaving a sigh of relief, Jeff Skilling looked at the scenery of Houston outside the window. He didn't know what the scene would be when he saw it next time.

Jeff Skilling had no choice. If he wanted Kenneth to take on all the troubles of Enron, he had to let Fastow and other Enron executives jump back and push the responsibility to Kenneth. Otherwise, he alone might be powerless.

The contacts and relationships that Kenneth has managed over the years are not in vain. If Kenneth is not allowed to take the blame at the beginning, it is very likely that the little cowboy, Graham on Capitol Hill, and others will do it for Kenneth. Nice acquitted, throw the blame to Jeff Skilling and the others!

  In the small building of the Federal Department of Justice in Washington, when everyone was busy, Ella Cherry, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly said, "Jeff Skilling is willing to testify against Kenneth!"

The crowd who were busy could not help but look at Ella Cherry when they heard the words, they were a little surprised for a moment, they were still racking their brains, looking through An Ran's accounts, Ella Cherry took care of An Ran The big guy inside after Kenneth? !

The director of the investigation team took a few glances at Ella Cherry. He had seen Ella Cherry's skills. Within a year, he might kill two of the top 100 giant companies in America. .

But at the same time, the supervisor became more and more curious about Song Yang who was able to send Ella Cherry to the federal prison. He didn't know what method Song Yang used to get Ella Cherry tormented so embarrassing...

Just now in Kentucky, the little cowboy finished a speech, returned to the hotel where he was staying, ate a few pieces of steak, and replenished his energy. He didn't bother to meet local powerful figures or certain industry representatives. , the little cowboy asked Card, the chief of staff, "What's going on with An Ran?!"

  Although after the Enron scandal appeared, the Cowboys team tried their best to play down the relationship with Enron and Kenneth, but if it really has nothing to do with it, it is pure nonsense, and the two sides are too deeply involved.

   After all, the little cowboy was the boss of Texas before. If he said that he didn’t get the knife donated by Kenneth, his campaign office didn’t receive a donation from Enron. He wouldn’t believe it.

"It's not good," Card said with a heavy face, "There is news from Capitol Hill that the Federal Department of Justice seems not to be planning to let giant companies like WorldCom and Enron go this time, and has set up a new investigation agency. , to investigate these giant companies, and even urged the Senate Banking Committee boss Sarbanes, and the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee boss Oxley, to jointly introduce a new bill that restricts giant companies!"

   "Those guys are the most active only at this time!"

The little cowboy complained dissatisfiedly, now is the most critical moment for him, and in a few months, the general election will begin, which is the time when the support of big donors is needed. At this time, giant companies such as Enron and WorldCom have exploded It's a surprise that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is going to be introduced now. If you say that there is no donkey party behind it to do things there, the little cowboy will never believe it.

"The most important thing now is Kenneth's problem. How to deal with it? He's involved too deeply. Now many congressmen on Capitol Hill are a little worried whether Kenneth will not be able to bear the pressure and ask the Federal Department of Justice or The media, say something..." Card said worriedly.

  The little cowboy's expression turned serious when he heard Kade's words. He naturally understood what Kade meant.

  Hesitated for a while, and finally the little cowboy said with a sharp expression, "You tell Kenneth that the Elephant Party will do their best to protect him, but if something happens in the end, you let him prepare himself!"

   Card nodded. Kenneth was a big shot in the past. Capitol Hill donated more than 200 congressmen. These people gave him great power, but similarly, sometimes, these can also become his death talisman!

   "One more thing, Bruno Song called and wanted one of the Bruno family, a young guy who just graduated from law school, to join the campaign committee as a legal assistant!"

   This kind of trivial matter originally didn't require Kade to report to the little cowboy, but when it comes to a big benefactor, especially at such a critical moment, Kade naturally needs to report to the little cowboy.

   "Just let him join. This seems to be the first time that Bruno Song made a request..." The little cowboy muttered, no matter what level Logan is, he will definitely accept him, and he will definitely support him in the future.
