Chapter 261: A Failed Meeting

……

Looking at Jeffrey Jilin's ever-changing expression, Guo Shouyun and Rebecca Mark glanced at each other, and the former smiled: "Mr. Jilin, our previous unhappiness was just due to some unnecessary misunderstandings. Now I feel very necessary to solve it. Moreover, I think that turning hostility into hostility between us will help us get out of the current predicament safely!"

Looking at the smiling and mysterious and confident guy in front of him, Jeffrey Jilin's frowning brow did not relax. To be honest, he hated his current situation. Because he didn't expect Guo Shouyun to appear here, without the slightest plan, all the conversations were taken advantage of by the other party, and he was always led by the other party's topic, all of which was terrible.

"I hate beating around the bush, just say anything!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Actually, although I don't know as much about Enron as well as Mr. Jilin, after such a long period of adjustment, and Ms. Mark's supplement, it has been almost 90%. So, I'm also very clear about Enron's situation now. ”

After a pause and a look at Jeffrey Jilin, who had a silent expression, he continued: "According to our statistics, the total liabilities on and off Enron's balance sheet now reach $32.7 billion, and the total assets of Enron are only about $70 billion, and 60% of these 70 billion assets do not generate positive profits. In other words, 95% of Enron's $350 million net profit in the second quarter came from Enron's energy trading, derivatives and securities products. … In other words, if the assets of the liability are stripped, Enron will still be a health company similar to Dulichi by relying solely on energy trading and derivatives trading. ”

Guo Shouyun's last words made Jeffrey Jilin's eyes beat violently.

"You want to buy Enron?"

The slow and solemn words reveal the complexity of the speaker's feelings.

Looking at Jeffrey Jilin staring at him in front of him, Guo Shouyun slowly shook his head with a smile.

"I just want to buy and deduct the other five subsidiaries of Enron after deducting Enron Investment Company and Enron Capital and Trading Company!"

"Impossible!"

Facing Guo Shouyun, who was gluttonous, Jeffrey Jilin's face changed greatly, and he stood up and refused to say.

"Jeffrey, are you going to drag Enron with you and your stupid team to be buried with you?" Rebecca Mark stood up angrily.

"You're just a who sells your flesh to get to the top~, what right do you have to accuse me!" Jeffrey Jilin said angrily.

"Smack...!"

A resounding slap in the face blinded Jeffrey Jilin.

After shaking his hand slightly, Guo Shouyun looked at Jeffrey Jilin, who was looking at him in disbelief, with a flat expression.

"I can't see myself the most unbearable, and I still take the woman's angry nest. Jeffrey Jilin, if you really had the ability, Enron would not have fallen to the point where it is now. ”

Covering his face, looking at Guo Shouyun hatefully, and then looking at Rebecca Mark next to him who was a little pale but angry, Jeffrey Jilin said word by word: "Even if Enron goes bankrupt, I will never sell it to you!"

As the words fell, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Guo Shouyun said suddenly.

"What else do you want?"

Jeffrey Jilin turned around, and although he was slapped by Guo Shouyun, he didn't think about returning it. Because since the other party beat Oliver Balin, it is no secret that the news in the newspaper about Guo Shouyun's perennial practice of free fighting has long been no secret. There is a saying: heroes don't suffer immediate losses. Jeffrey Jilin, despite his anger, did not lose his mind. What's more, in addition to the opponent's own fighting ability, there are also two bodyguards with big shoulders and round waists standing outside the door, no matter how you look at it, he is the one who suffers when he makes a move.

"You should apologize to Ms. Mark!" Guo Shouyun said categorically.

Looking at his determined expression, Jeffrey Jilin suddenly felt a sense of humiliation, but the situation was stronger than people, so after taking a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, he glanced at Rebecca Mark.

"I'm sorry!"

As soon as the two words, which seemed to take a great deal of effort, Geoffrey Jilin turned abruptly, as if he was being chased by something behind, and quickly opened the door and left.

"Boss, I'm very sorry. Because of my relationship, I'm afraid the acquisition of part of Enron's business will fail!" Rebecca Mark's strong personality made her unable to say anything grateful. But the reddish eyes and the gratitude that revealed in the words spoke for themselves.

Guo Shouyun shook his head slightly, "Even after full argumentation, the acquisition of Enron is still a risky decision. So, whether it is success or failure, I don't take sides in my heart. It's you, and the solution to the Enron dilemma took you nearly three years of time and effort. Now the acquisition fails, and the real loss is the real loss!"

Rebecca Mark's face was gloomy. As Guo Shouyun said, the solution to the Enron dilemma contains her three years of hard work and the pursuit of her life ideals, and the current failure is a blow to her.

"Okay, don't think about it yet. Enron has now accumulated a lot of difficulties, and when it really breaks out, Jeffrey Jilin, the CEO of Enron, will naturally have to take responsibility, and even be sanctioned by the constitution, and then we will buy Enron, I believe it will be easier than now. Guo Shouyun said.

"So you're still planning to buy Enron?" Rebecca Mark said, her eyes lit up.

"I never pass up every opportunity!"

Guo Shouyun smiled slightly, and said with confidence in his expression.

At this point, today's business is over. Although the end result was not satisfactory, or rather failed. But for Guo Shouyun, he is not for nothing. At the very least, he had the loyalty of Rebecca Mark, a shrewd and capable business woman.

"I hope this slap of mine can be exchanged for a 'Mulan'!"

……

After separating from Rebecca Mark, Guo Shouyun flew from Houston to Atlanta. The negotiations between Pan Pacific and Southern have come to an end, and it is time to sign the contract, so it is time for him, the chairman of the company's board of directors, to show up.

"Boss, it's this morning's paper!"

Bringing the newspapers Wendy handed over to him closely, the front page of the Los Angeles Times at the top was impressively related to him.

"Big deal! Los Angeles Clippers begin rebuilding under the auspices of a new owner!"

The article revolves around the three deals he handed over to Elgin Baylor, interspersed with commentary, but overall objective.

But when he opened the second edition of the Wall Street Journal, his face instantly turned gloomy.

For a long time, whether it was Enron or the expansion of Pan Pacific Energy, the Wall Street Journal never reported any good news about him.

"Bruce has found his new toy!"

The article is also extremely ironic: "While Pan Pacific Energy is still not out of the morass of loss, our Mr. Bruce Guo has found his new toy: a team from Los Angeles that has never won a championship - the Clippers. Of course, this is not surprising. Everyone knows that Bruce Guo was the point guard for the Stanford Crimson team in college, so he has enough reason to own an NBA team. Regardless of the dilemma of losing money in the company, as the leader of the company, it is right to not think about solving the dilemma, but to have fun (fools know that this is wrong). Just looking at his management of the Clippers, it really makes people feel really stupid. ”

"Let's start with the first trade, where the Clippers traded key centers Lamar Odom and Darius Myers for Houston Rockets point guard Catino Mobley and a first-round pick next year. It was said it took Rockets owner Leslie Alexander just five minutes to agree to the deal. Of course, everyone who knows anything about the NBA will make the same choice as him. After all, Lamar Odom is a talented center with the title of 'left-handed magician'. ”

In the past 00~01 season, he played in 76 games for the Clippers, averaging 17.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. On December 23, 2000, in the Clippers' game against the Grizzlies, Odom made 9 blocks on the defensive end, which also set a new record for a single block in Odom's career. In addition to that, he also got three triple-doubles in last year's competition. Such an all-round performance, as well as excellent talent, all prove that this is another top interior player in the league today. Now, Bruce Guo has given the Rockets this top center who can be compared to Olajuwon and Divac. Congratulations to the Rockets, the stupidity of the Clippers, who finally found the best successor for them after Olajuwon left. ”

In addition, Darius Myers, while not as talented as Lamar Odom at the center forward position, is also an excellent player who scores 10 points per game, and there is plenty of room for growth at a young age. ”

"As for the Mobley and next year's draft pick that you get after selling Odom. Truth be told, Catino Mobley's ability as a shooting guard, while excellent within the league, is still some way from the top. Moreover, the heart problem doomed him from too high an achievement. As for next year's draft picks, after LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Bosh announced that they would not participate in next year's draft, neither Jae Williams nor Mike Dunleavy will be the kind of superstars that everyone expects to be. The 2002 NBA Draft was not destined to have too many surprises!"
