Chapter 1241 Greed

After a short period of twists and turns, U.S. stocks quickly returned to the upward channel. Among them, high-tech stocks, led by the Internet, performed particularly well.

"What is this?" Looking at the dozen reports in his hand, William White was a little curious. My buddy is playing instant messaging. Why are you giving me this communications company?

Looking at his boss's puzzled eyes, Philson pondered for a moment and then said: "Boss, a new person came to the company recently, a very talented analyst. He pointed out that there was a problem with WorldCom's report.

After acquiring MCI, their financial statements became even more bizarre. "

"False accounts?" William White shrugged, looking irrelevant. In his opinion, the complexity of counterfeiting methods used by American companies is simply staggering.

Strict punishment can only increase the cost of crime. If you say it will be eliminated, you are simply joking.

Comrade Lao Zhu was still peeling off the skin and making grass, and he became Qingming without hearing about the official administration.

What is capital?

That is the root of all evil. As long as there is enough profit, the rope used to hang oneself can be sold. How severe can the punishment be?

Even if you are in prison, it is also a five-star super luxury prison. If you look at the conditions, they are definitely much better than those in Queens.

US imperialism claims to oppose discrimination, but look at the schools, then look at the hospitals and prisons.

Discrimination is ubiquitous. In a capitalist society, what they care more about is whether you have money.

"Yes, boss, I have read it carefully. They acquired MCI, maybe to cover up this mistake."

“Ha, interesting, Philson, have you ever heard of an idiom called drinking poison to quench thirst?

Let me tell you, poison is addictive when you drink it. Since you can drink it for the first time, you can continue. "

"Yes, boss, after learning this information, I deliberately followed up. Recently, Sprint has been very close to them."

"Tsk, is this the plan to become the second AT&T?

Such a big move will not be promoted by anyone. Let me guess, it's either Citi or Merrill Lynch. "It's not difficult to come to this conclusion. The relationship between Morgan Stanley and AT&T is completely unclear. They have already made enough money in the AT&T spin-off feast.

If you reach out again at this time, it will be really shameless. Even they themselves would probably not do this.

"Ahem, boss, it's two companies joining forces."

"Damn, yes, such a big piece of cake. Alas, WorldCom is also funny. Wasn't it their fault to split up AT&T?

How can I hurry up? It's all a routine! "

William White could talk nonsense, but Philson could not. He is a think tank, and what he says needs data to back it up.

Of course, when William White said this, his pupils shrank suddenly. If the boss's judgment is valid, then, let alone the greed of these bastards, this terrible layout is terrifying to think about!

Emotions, you have been singing a double act.

William White lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought. Filson knew that this was what the boss was thinking about. Generally speaking, the boss rarely smoked. He would take two puffs of a cigar when something happened. It was more of a performance art.

Indeed, William White was indeed organizing his thoughts. As he thought about it, he became more and more certain that this incident must be a gluttonous feast for those predators.

The WorldCom incident came to light later, and you will know the outcome just by looking at the handling of the incident. Citigroup and Merrill Lynch are just three drinks as a penalty.

As for those investors?

Those who buy bonds will receive a 30% discount directly. Those who buy stocks can’t even get a scrap of paper.

A company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars?

As sponsors, Citigroup and Merrill Lynch were only fined hundreds of thousands. Is it necessary to explain the shady story here?

No need at all!

"Filson, there is no way to decide this matter at the moment. If Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are also involved...

In fact, they must have had a share. These are the four major investment banks, if I am being too straightforward. "

"I understand, boss, what you mean is that the primary purpose is to avoid risks. Even if you are trying to draw chestnuts out of the fire, you cannot be too deliberate."

"Yes, that's what I mean. Also, you have to consider the international situation. In recent times, we have offended the Europeans a lot. Sprint, the world's top three wireless communication companies, if it is again Acquisition by WorldCom.

Ahem, does it have any competitors? "

"Boss, are you saying that no matter how lively their conversation is, it might end up being a fight?"

William White smiled and said nothing. The United States is not the only one who will use the anti-monopoly banner. Old Europe, which is anxious, will let it go.

With William White's interference, Ericsson and Nokia's life is not easy. Even so, these are two great companies in Europe.

Is there anything wrong with taking proper care of it?

William White understood this very well, so his Bell Labs was nothing more than soy sauce at best.

After sending Philson away, William White began to calculate the gains and losses of this matter.

The giving up just now was only superficial.

Although William White is still greedy now, he is not so hungry that he is not selective about food. What he was thinking was whether he should give Citigroup some eye drops.

"Master, I understand, these are the two companies."

"There are also accounting firms. By the way, don't use your own people, or in other words, don't use your own people on the surface."

"I know, cough, cough, but it's really difficult to catch the current situation."

"Ha, Xiaohu, what does this mean? The bad guys have become smarter, or have their anti-investigation awareness increased?

It seems to me that after a few bottles of cat urine, they dare to say anything.

Hehe, these are just ordinary people, not the CIA.

Don't be hesitant, talk about something if you have something to say. "

"Ahem, that Monica's best friend. She will do whatever it takes to cooperate with the FBI.

This incident has become a staple of talk shows. Anyway, people below responded that even in a relatively private space, everyone's words were very cautious.

Indeed, illegal recordings are not legally recognized. But some people just want to know the results and don't care whether the evidence is legal or not. "

Bang, William White slapped his head, quite dumbfounded. Damn, why are you so sensitive? When you do something like that in the future, you should first check with someone from the special service team.

"It's true, but Lao Ke's case is almost over. The American people have a lot of fun. The matter of the blue dress, with the end of this incident, will not be mentioned again for a long time."

William White saw this very clearly. First he blew up Silly Damu, and then it was Star Wars. With these concessions, it would be too foolish to look for bad luck on Lao Ke.

"Ahem, I understand. Is it just an ordinary commercial espionage?"

"Well, it's natural. There's no need to be too deliberate. Or, it could be their wives asking for help."

Xiaohu understood in an instant that the boss was planning to trick someone. If the timing is right, these guys will be thrown out and used as targets. Since it is such a routine, there is no need to find someone familiar.

Any big event always needs one or two scapegoats. During the Asian financial crisis, Soros caused quite a stir. So, can Citigroup take the blame for the subsequent collapse of the Internet bubble?

If someone asks William White now, is there a bubble in Internet companies?

Well, at most he would ignore what he said before, but he would never have the courage to say it again.
