Chapter 691 You Must Hold On!
[The giant of an era - sadly step down! 】
This was the front-page headline of the New York Daily issue on the evening of April 30.
"WorldCom's financial audits have been absolutely clean during my tenure, and I firmly believe that WorldCom will continue to exist as an industry leader and set the standard for those who come after."
—Bernard Ebbers.
The New York Daily published an article: "The departure of WorldCom Chairman and CEO Bernard Ebers, whether the outcome is good or bad, is bound to cause harm to WorldCom itself, including the telecommunications industry in the United States. profound influence!"
The article also quoted Bernard Ebers' biography.
Bernard was born in an ordinary family in Canada, and later came to the United States with the family because of his father's work;
At the same time, he dropped out twice during high school;
After graduating from high school, worked as a milkman for a period of time;
In a TV interview, he said: "It was absolutely tragic to go out to deliver milk in minus 30 degrees day in and day out, and at one point I was filled with despair for the future."
However, he is also lucky!
He was fortunate to be favored by a university and won a basketball scholarship, thus getting rid of the cold weather and the downturn in one fell swoop, and finally obtained a bachelor's degree in physical education from the university in 1967;
He worked as a high school basketball coach, switched careers to run a clothing warehouse, and started a motel...
It can be said that he is a grassroots!
However, even such a grassroots at the bottom, it only took 16 years to become the president of WorldCom, and he made great strides along the way, developing WorldCom into a communications giant with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars!
His life is very exciting and inspiring!
"Fortune" magazine said in an article: "He is a man who has influenced an era and is a giant in the telecommunications industry!"
"Time" magazine said in an article: "Resigning from WorldCom is undoubtedly a loss for WorldCom.
It is also a loss for the global communications industry! "
"Bloomberg" published an article: "He was the first person to control the global telecommunications industry!"
......
"Chicago Evening News", "Washington Post", "American Herald" and other media and newspapers, there is one newspaper and magazine published on the evening of April 30, and the headlines of their news are all about "Bernard" De Ebers" news.
Many people in the United States are talking about him!
the next day.
Bernard Ebers, who had already resigned, came to WorldCom headquarters again, the office that once belonged to him.
"Uh, what's going on?!"
As soon as the door of the office was opened, Ebers woke up and found that his office had changed a lot!
Desks, lockers, decorations, and even the floor have all been changed.
"Hi, Mr. Ebbers, welcome to 'my' office! Are you surprised that this is no longer the office you're familiar with? Yes, I had people remodeled overnight, and even the floor was changed by me. Let them all be replaced. I think, you wouldn't mind, would you?"
Dyna Shaw Annes said.
He used to be Ebers' closest comrade-in-arms, and he fought with him to create the brilliance of WorldCom today. Previously, he served as the company's vice chairman and second-in-command several times.
Well now...
Dyna Shaw Annes drove Ebers out and succeeded in taking the top job at WorldCom himself!
"It's useless for you to mind."
Dyna Shaw Annes squinted and said with a smile, "Dude, don't forget, I'm the chairman of WorldCom now!"
"Humph!"
Bernard Ebers immediately snorted coldly, with endless anger in his heart: "Xiao, don't get carried away. Believe me, it won't be long before I'll be back here again, and you will be like a dog, you can only Barking in front of me."
Hearing this, Dyna Shaw Ann shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "You have no chance, you are old."
"Wait and see."
Bernard Ebers was also reluctant to say more, and left with a harsh word.
Soon....
In the underground parking lot, in a Ford luxury car, there are only two people in the car at the moment.
Bernard Ebers, former chairman and former CEO of WorldCom;
WorldCom Chief Financial Officer Scott Sullivan;
"Did you see it just now?" Ebers raised his eyelids.
"Yes."
Chief Financial Officer Scott Sullivan said solemnly, "Boss, I'm always on your side. I always believe that only you can lead WorldCom to a more brilliant tomorrow."
Ebers nodded in satisfaction.
Loyal and filial son, who doesn't like it?
What's more, the interests of the two are the same and are bound together. WorldCom's falsely reported financial revenue is as high as tens of billions, which is what they did. Well, or it is headed by the two of them.
The two are grasshoppers on a rope.
Once the scandal is exposed, neither Ebers nor Sullivan can escape!
Ebers said solemnly: "Now that I have lost control of the company, you should know what this means?"
Chief Financial Officer Scott Sullivan nodded heavily, "It means that our financial fraud may be exposed at any time."
"That's right!"
Ebers said solemnly: "Although I believe in your ability very much, and believe that your financial statements are perfect, there is no sealed thing in the world. These... After all, paper can't contain fire."
Once the scandal is exposed, the two of them will be greeted with a disaster. It is certain that they will be imprisoned, and they will die in prison.
"Boss, what do you say?" Chief Financial Officer Scott Sullivan asked.
"Hold on!"
Ebers looked cold and gritted his teeth: "I don't care if you use the above method. Before the company's second quarter financial report is announced, you must stabilize the company's books. I will defeat Xiao as soon as possible and regain the company's power. Everything will come to an end.”
support?
How to hold on?
"This, this, this..."
Financial director Scott Sullivan suddenly looked embarrassed.
As the saying goes: one emperor and one courtier.
Now that Ebers has stepped down, how long can he be the financial director? This position may be replaced by someone else tomorrow. After all, the position of financial director is too important.
"Humph!"
Ebers snorted coldly: "Can't hold it? Then we all have to die! You know, with a deficit of tens of billions of dollars, those investors will tear us to pieces."
Scott Sullivan: "..."
Energy giant Enron collapsed!
Even once the WorldCom scandal was exposed, the entire WorldCom company would surely die miserably, even worse than Enron!
" "The third is sent.
