Chapter 265: The Great Reversal

……

Later, Guo Shouyun greeted Steve Bergstrom, president of Dulichi, Ben Gleeson, president of Duke Energy, John Rubin, director of operations of Montana Power, and Mark Tierney, CEO of Baoying, and led them into the living room of the farm house.

"Please be seated!"

After everyone was seated, tea and drinks were naturally served.

But their attention is clearly not on eating and drinking!

"Mr. Guo, everyone's time is precious, so if you have anything to say, just say it!" Peter Yves spoke first.

His words also made several people next to him nod in agreement.

"It's fine. Now that everyone has a clear purpose, I'm going to get straight to the point. After a pause, Guo Shouyun's eyes flashed, "I believe that you have also read the information sent to you before, I don't know how you feel?"

The faces of several people changed slightly, and their eyes invariably became gloomy. The reason why they are going to the appointment today is not only because of Guo Shouyun's status now, but more importantly, because of the information that is enough to make the company they represent pay a huge price.

"Mr. Guo wants to take us to court with that information?" said John Rubin in a deep voice.

"If that were the case, I wouldn't have invited you to me!"

"Then Mr. Guo is not planning to use this information to buy a few of our companies, right?" said Ben Gleeson, smiling indifferently.

"I think. But now I want you to sell it!"

These power and energy trading companies, which have made huge profits from California's energy crisis, are not the utilities that are on the verge of bankruptcy.

“… Forget it, let's get straight to the point. I can take this information as if it weren't there, but in exchange, you're going to get the price of electricity and natural gas in California, and the entire West, back to the prices they were in April 2000, before the energy crisis in California!"

After several people looked at each other and exchanged glances, Ben Gleeson said: "Mr. Guo, don't you think too much of yourself if you want us to give up great interests just because you don't know how much value you can play?"

"Think too much of yourself?" Guo Shouyun smiled, "Since LinkedIn News exposed Enron's manipulation of the energy crisis in California, what is the current mood of the California government and people, I think you have also seen it from TV." Moreover, President Bush has publicly pledged that the energy crisis must end as soon as possible for the sake of California's economic stability and sustainability. In addition, even though the US judicial system is slow and corrupt, you know that with the evidence and financial resources in my hands, even if it drags on for a year or two, it will be enough for you to vomit everything you have eaten!"

Everyone's faces changed, and they didn't know how much evidence Guo Shouyun had in his hands that they were secretly manipulating the California energy market. But now the ones they got alone were deadly.

Regarding their reaction, Guo Shouyun, who saw it in his eyes, was secretly satisfied. The truth is false, the truth is false, and the truth and falsehood make people even more unable to guess that the evidence sent to them is actually all he has.

"Of course, I don't want to get too stiff with everyone. So, as long as you promise to give up your grip on the energy market in the west, then I'll act as if nothing happened. In the future, Pan Pacific Group will still be a good partner with you, and everyone will make money together!"

Looking at Guo Shouyun with a smile on his face, several people's eyes flashed, obviously they all had their own considerations in their hearts.

"If we agree, how do we know that Mr. Guo will not settle accounts with this evidence after he has survived this catastrophe?" said Mark Tierney in a deep voice.

Guo Shouyun smiled faintly, "Although I haven't worked in the business world as long as you, it's been almost two years now." In the past two years, I have never broken my promises. ”

Looking at the calm and confident man opposite, Steve Bergstrom suddenly said, "What about Enron?"

"I will never be merciful to an unrepentant enemy!" the smiling Guo Shouyun's tone revealed a chilling coldness.

……

"We're going to raise wages... We're going to get a raise!"

"Punish the black-hearted management... Punish the black-hearted management!"

"We're going to raise wages... We're going to get a raise......!"

Looking at the angry strike crowd outside, Oliver Balin put down his binoculars in satisfaction.

"Is the slogan shouted rhythmically?"

"It's good that the young master is satisfied. The secretary flattered.

"You came up with it?"

The latter nodded hurriedly and said proudly: "At the beginning, you deliberately explained that you wanted to be ingenious, so I found a lot of information in this area, and it turned out that there are many such scenes in Huaxia TV dramas, which are not small from the strikes in the United States, and they leave a particularly deep impression, so I took them and used them!"

"Huaxia?"

The secretary knew that his young master hated Huaxia the most because he hated the relationship between Wu and Wu, so after his face changed, he quickly closed his mouth in amusement.

Looking at his appearance, after snorting coldly, Oliver Barin didn't say anything more.

"By the way, what's going on over there with the Pan Pacific Group?"

"Yesterday they made an appointment with representatives of the union to negotiate, but there is no definite news yet. ”

"Pay close attention to their movements, and resolutely do not allow the people of the Pacific to easily quell this strike!"

"Yes!"

"By the way, find the best lawyers for these workers, and let them fight Pan Pacific to the end!" Oliver Balin said hatefully.

Although more than a month has passed, as long as he thinks of Guo Shouyun and everything about him, Oliver Balin still feels the faint pain in his nose, and the shame that makes him more uncomfortable than the pain!

"Understood!"

"Bell bell...!"

Just then, Oliver Balin's cell phone rang suddenly.

After taking it out and looking at it, it was quickly connected.

"Oliver, California's energy crisis is over!"

"What?"

Oliver Balin's face has changed dramatically!

……

Six major energy companies, including Dalizhi, Baoying, and Montana Power, simultaneously announced corresponding government calls to lower the market prices of electricity and natural gas in the western region!"

"After 1 year, 4 months and 13 days, the energy crisis in California has finally come to an end!" – Chicago Tribune.

"Perseverance wins, Pan Pacific Group has waited for the market to turn its corner!" – The Washington Post.

"Another triumph for business genius Bruce Kwok!" – USA Today.

On July 16, major U.S. media outlets made headlines on their front pages about the dramatic turn in California's energy market.

Duliks, Baus, Montana Power, El Paso Power, Duke Energy, and Myron, together with Pan Pacific Energy, have accounted for 60 percent of the Western Energy market! After all, the giants have cut prices, and the remaining small and medium-sized companies will naturally follow the market.

However, while major energy companies announced price cuts, Enron, the country's largest energy trading company, was suddenly put in the spotlight.

"Bang...!"

A loud noise shook the conference room. The pain was no longer enough to quench the anger in Jeffrey Jilin's heart at this time.

"These damn bastards, when they took advantage of the benefits, they patted their chests one by one and promised us that they would advance and retreat with Enron, and now they are all fucking ~ fucking down the ground!

Jeffrey Jilin's roar shook the room. And the people on the left and right have different looks, or the old god is there, or watching the excitement, or the face is anxious, and the office politics are vividly reflected in the safety of the desperate and on the verge of the end of the road at the moment!

"Boss, the top priority now is to bring down energy prices. Otherwise, if we are the only company that does not lower the price, it is tantamount to confirming the accusations of Guo Shouyun and the California government that we manipulate the California energy market. When the time comes, not only will the California government and the people be dissatisfied with us, but the federal government will also directly intervene in our operations!" Cliff Baxter hurriedly advised.

As a confidant of Jeffrey Jilin, no matter what others think, he certainly doesn't want his boss to be ousted by the board of directors because of some mistakes, and then he will be finished.

Like him, Lu Pei, as Geoffrey Jilin's assistant, is inseparable from the big boss.

"Boss, everything is focused on the overall situation now! As for the rest, there will be opportunities when the operation of Enron improves!"

"That's right!" Cliff Baxter echoed and nodded. It's rare that they can get rid of their previous suspicions in this situation.

Looking at them, and then at the surrounding Enron executives, Jeffrey Jilin took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions.

He also knew that the best option for Enron now was to lower the price of electricity and gas. But thinking of the slap he was slapped by Guo Shouyun, a tingling pain arose in his heart. Growing up, he had never been so humiliated.

In addition, in addition to this personal vendetta, the huge profits brought by the California energy crisis are also difficult for him to give up. After all, Enron's financial situation is very bad now, and it can barely make ends meet thanks to the huge profits from the California energy crisis.

Therefore, even if he is pointed out by Qianfu, he has to continue to hold on.

"I decide...!"

Before he could finish speaking, the closed conference room was violently slammed open from the outside. Before Jeffrey Jilin could speak, the anxious-looking secretary had already said quickly: "Boss, I just received news from the United Kingdom that there was an explosion at the Teesside Power Plant, which has caused $1.5 billion in economic losses, as well as 12 dead workers and 37 injured!"
