Chapter 260: A meeting full of gunpowder

……

"Sir, are you going home?"

The driver's words distracted Jeffrey Gilling.

"No, go to Sears Golf Course!"

The driver nodded, started the car, and quickly turned into the busy traffic of Houston with Jeffrey Jilin.

Sears Golf Course is one of Houston's most famous high-end leisure and entertainment venues, because it is a membership-only venue, coupled with a quiet environment and attentive service, so it is one of the main venues for Houston's celebrities and gentlemen to meet.

After asking the driver to park the car, Jeffrey Gilling found the private box according to the address that Rebecca Mark had sent to her phone.

However, after walking closer to the box and seeing the black-clothed bodyguard standing outside like a door god, Jeffrey Jilin's face changed.

Just when he hesitated for a moment, the bodyguard who saw his figure still said respectfully: "Mr. Jilin, Ms. Mark is already waiting for you inside, please come in!"

"You're Rebecca Mark's bodyguard?" Jeffrey Jilin wondered.

The other man smiled, and instead of answering, he turned and pushed the door open.

I looked at them, then at the open door, and thought that this was a public place, and Rebecca Mark wouldn't do anything to herself. So, after taking another deep breath, Jeffrey Jilin strode in.

After entering the door, his first reaction was to look at the internal environment. Of course, the extravagant décor did not attract his attention in the slightest. What cares Jeffrey Jilin the most is the person sitting in it.

After seeing the familiar back in a dark blue lady's suit, Jeffrey Jilin's heart was relieved, and he subconsciously wanted to speak. But when he saw the man who heard footsteps or the sound of the door opening and turned all the side of his face on the other side, all the words he was about to say were blocked in his throat, and the steps he was about to take subconsciously stopped. Of course, the face has also changed greatly!

"It's you?!"

Guo Shouyun put down the coffee in his hand and stood up.

"Mr. Jilin, it's been a long time!"

Looking at him with a smile on his face, and then at Rebecca Mark with a calm expression next to him, Jeffrey Jilin's heart sank instantly.

Guo Shouyun waved his hand, and the bodyguard standing outside the door understood, and slammed the door shut.

Jeffrey Jilin's heart jumped, and he secretly regretted why he didn't bring a few of his bodyguards over.

"Mr. Jilin, please be seated!"

At this point, Jeffrey Jilin had no choice but to take a deep breath and strode over.

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Guo here, it's really surprising... Rebecca, when did you meet Mr. Guo?"

"I haven't known Ms. Mark for long!" Picking up Jeffrey Jilin's words, "besides, I asked Ms. Mark to send you this invitation today." In order to have the opportunity to meet Mr. Jilin and chat by the way. ”

"Chatting, I'm afraid it's not just chatting, right?" said Jeffrey Jilin with a cold face.

"After chatting, by the way, I will solve the misunderstanding between me and Mr. Jilin!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"I didn't have any misunderstanding with Mr. Guo before. Also, since this invitation was not Rebecca's original intention, then I will take my leave!"

"Isn't Mr. Jilin going to save Enron?"

"What do you mean?"

Jeffrey Jilin's body shook, and his footsteps stopped involuntarily.

"The meaning is very deep, and it takes time to explain it to Mr. Jilin slowly, so let's sit down and talk!" Guo Shouyun smiled and pointed to the sofa opposite.

After taking a deep look at him and quickly sweeping it over Rebecca Mark next to him, Jeffrey Jilin frowned and thought about it, and sat down on the sofa next to him.

"I'm going home, so if there's anything to do with Mr. Guo, just tell me about it. In addition, Enron is very healthy now, and there is no need to save it at all!"

If that's the case, why did its share price fall to the current level of $40? ”

"Mr. Guo should know this best!" said Jeffrey Jilin with a cold expression.

Guo Shouyun spread his hands, "If it weren't for Enron's own problems, it would be difficult to suppress Enron's stock price even if I shorted a large amount of money." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Okay, Mr. Jilin, let's put aside the mustard of both sides and talk about some substantive issues!"

"Okay, I'll hear you!"

After Guo Shouyun smiled slightly, he took out a sealed document bag from the briefcase he was carrying and handed it over.

"What?"

"Mr. Jilin will know by looking at it!"

Hearing this, after glancing at him, Jeffrey Jilin took the file bag, opened the thread on it, and took out the thick documents inside. After staring at a few photos, the originally cold face gradually became difficult to look at.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the file was slammed on the table by Jeffrey Jilin.

"These are all slanders against Enron!" After finishing with a pale face, his vicious gaze shifted from Guo Shouyun to Rebecca Mark to the side.

"Rebecca, you are also a member of Enron and have a stake in the company. Now, what's in it for you to plant a blame on the company?!"

Rebecca Mark is also a weather-hardened business elite, and in the face of the angry Jeffrey Jilin, her face is still a light and breezy look.

"My stock at Enron was all sold off back last month. Also, these documents are not provided by me!"

"It's not who you are, only the top management in the company has access to this!" Jeffrey Jilin clearly didn't believe her words in a preconceived notion.

"Mr. Jilin, don't be impatient, these materials are indeed not given to me by Ms. Mark!"

"Impossible!"

After all, people are dying for money, birds are dying for food, and the Enron energy crisis is so big, there must be many people who manipulate it. As long as I am willing to spend money, I will always get the evidence. Moreover, Enron is now like a broken ship that is about to sink to the bottom. Countless smart people want to make another deal before it sinks completely. After a pause, Guo Shouyun looked at Jeffrey Jilin with a gloomy expression and smiled indifferently, "Aren't all the top executives of Enron, including you, doing this?"

"I don't know what you're talking nonsense. And, I repeat, Enron is operating very healthily!"

Guo Shouyun shrugged, "Why is it so difficult to make people face reality!"

As the words fell, he gave Rebecca Mark next to him a look, and the latter understood, and put a lockbox next to him on the table and opened it, which contained some CDs and documents in different categories.

"These documents are proof that Enron's chief financial officer, Mr. Andrew Fasto, used his ingenious financial skills to make false accounts for Enron and demonstrate more than $30 billion in financial loopholes, and of course the contents of these CDs are the same!" After a pause, Rebecca Mark met Jeffrey Jilin's angry eyes and said, "These are the things I provided to Mr. Guo, and you should also understand that it is not difficult to get them with my connections within Enron!"

"Why are you doing that?"

"You should know why!"

After staring at Rebecca Mark for a while, Jeffrey Jilin suddenly took a deep breath. After calming down his anger, he calmed down, and his face improved a lot.

"Even if everything in your hands is real, do you really think you can fight Enron?"

Looking at the eyes he put on himself, Guo Shouyun smiled and said, "Of course." But I also know that with the U.S. judicial process and Enron's connections, the process can take two or three years, or even longer. By that time, the cucumber dishes were all cold. ”

After a pause, "It's good that I don't have to wait that long." Or rather, I don't want to use these materials to bring down Enron!"

"What do you mean?"

Jeffrey Jilin's brow furrowed even tighter.

"It's actually quite simple. Enron's real threat to me is the California energy crisis that you have unleashed through your control of the U.S. energy market. If there was no energy crisis, would Enron fall, and when? It would have been much more subordinate. ”

"Do you think these materials alone can quell California's energy crisis?"

"Of course! California's energy crisis, which has lasted for more than a year, has brought the anger of more than 40 million people in California to a peak, and now it only takes a little spark to ignite this powder keg. And this detailed evidence is the best thing to ignite it. As long as I spread it through LinkedIn News, countless news outlets will pick it up. When the time comes, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, even if it thinks about your safety, will take steps under pressure to limit the wholesale price of electricity throughout the western region in order to calm the situation. At that time, California's energy crisis will naturally subside. ”

"It's all your subjective speculation!" said Jeffrey Jilin coldly.

"Mr. Jilin, why should he deceive himself. In addition, the U.S. economy, and even the world's economy, is now in a downturn. In this state, high energy prices in California are not normal. Moreover, high energy prices have placed a heavy operational burden on American companies, both large and small, and seriously hindered their development. Previously, the presidential election was undecided, and it was just a matter of allowing the California energy crisis to spread. Now that President Bush has taken office, he has expressed his views on California's energy crisis more than once!"

Jeffrey Jilin was silent, although he was very reluctant to admit it, but he also understood that the other party's words would almost 100% come true.

George W. Bush, who dreams of being re-elected president in four years' time, is aggressively pursuing tax cuts to stimulate business growth. California's energy crisis has also been mentioned by him more than once. Enron's allies within the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission have also approached him more than once to talk about the subject, as they are almost unable to hold on to the pressure from the president's side.
