2934 [reluctantly]
Enron's selling of assets attracted summer's attention.
Because although Enron Company has relied on making fake accounts, false transactions, and transferring debts in recent years, it still has certain strength.
Its natural gas, coal, electricity, communications and other assets are still relatively valuable. According to preliminary estimates in Xiatian, if these assets are auctioned, they can still be obtained for only 25 billion US dollars.
What Xia Tian cares about is its natural gas fields, natural gas supply pipelines, power plants, etc. For example, Enron controls a natural gas transmission pipeline of 32,000 miles in the United States, and the value of this pipeline alone is at least 5 billion US dollars.
These assets are very useful to Tianxia Group, so after the news of the sale of Enron's assets, he immediately sent someone to follow up on the matter. Be sure to grab the fattest piece of fat in this cheap clearance sale.
Because I have to pay attention to this matter in the summer, I can’t go to Hawaii anymore, so I can only go to Houston, the United States instead.
...
Enron is headquartered in Houston, Texas, USA. It was founded in 1930 and was originally just a natural gas supplier. After that, it successively acquired North American Electric Lighting Company, Lone Star Natural Gas Company, United Electric Lighting Company, etc., and gradually developed into a supplier of natural gas, water, forestry, coal, petrochemical, electricity and other resources and energy.
Originally, it had a good development prospect, because natural gas prices will rise in the future, and water, forestry, petrochemicals, etc. will also have high appreciation potential.
But unfortunately, in order to pursue temporary interests, it does not hesitate to use false trade, transfer debts, forge accounts and other means to fabricate profits, which makes the company clearly suffer serious losses, but the accounts are profitable every year, and the growth rate is faster and faster every year.
If this scam is not exposed, I am afraid it can be played for several years. At that time, the initiator will run away with a large sum of money and throw a mess to the next takeover. But the scam is a scam after all, and it will always be exposed.
Now, Anron has been defeated and a mess. The New York Stock Exchange has delisted it, and its stock, worth ninety dollars at its highest, is now worthless.
The sale of its $50 billion assets also set a record for liquidation of American companies, casting a heavy shadow on the US economy. However, the sale of these assets has also attracted many "vultures".
Summer is one of them.
"Our main goal this time is to acquire the natural gas fields, power plants and natural gas transmission pipelines under Anron." Xia Tian ordered Zhao Shikang.
Enron is one of the largest power suppliers in the United States. It has a large number of power plants in the United States, especially in the California area, and it has a monopoly position.
In order to increase profits, Enron has done many strange things. For example, deliberately arranged several power plants to be repaired at the same time, which artificially caused power shortages; for example, setting off fireworks around the electric field, igniting wildfires, and causing power plants to shut down, etc., trying every means to increase electricity prices.
As for the reason why California's Viagra is ignored, it is because Enron has provided huge financial support to the Republican and Democratic Party for many years.
For example, when Xiao Bushi was the governor of Texas, he received two million US dollars in primordial donations from Enron. In addition, the Bushi family is mostly engaged in energy industries such as oil and gas, and has close business dealings with Enron, so he will naturally take good care of him.
In fact, in his previous life, the Enron incident broke out in 2001, when Xiao Bushi was just elected president. Because of the Enron-Zheng donation incident, his polls fell and made him look dirty.
Of course, Anron is not doing anything morally, but its power plants are really good and have great investment value. In addition to those natural gas fields and 32,000 miles of conveying pipelines... this is a large piece of fragrant fat.
"Yes, Mr. Xia, I will definitely fight for it." Zhao Shikang nodded.
...
After arriving in Texas, Xia Tian first went to meet Governor Xiao Bushi.
These days, Xiao Bushi's life is not very easy.
First, because Enron had given him a $2 million donation to him, and now he was caught by his opponent Democratic Party and was beaten up, causing his polls to decline.
Second, Enron is headquartered in Houston, Texas. Although it has made up profits, falsely reported income, transferred debts, etc., and has done a lot of unintentional behaviors, it is still a big taxpayer in Texas, and has also hired more than 5,000 employees in Texas.
Now that the company is going to be forced to liquidate, more than 20,000 employees will be laid off, which will put a touch of darkness on his life as a governor.
If he brings these black spots to participate in next year's presidential election, he will definitely lose a mess. So these days, he has been busy with these things, trying to minimize the impact and avoid taking the blame.
"George, your face is not good." Xia Tian smiled.
"Xia, I have too many worries these days, but it's easy to deal with when I see you. You must help me." Xiao Bushi said happily when he saw Xiatian.
"If there is anything I need to help, even if I can help, I will never refuse." Xia Tian nodded.
"That's so thank you." Xiao Bushi breathed a sigh of relief when he said this, "That's right. I hope you will help me to bring Anron's company back and not lay off employees."
"To be honest, the mess of Anron Company is too big, I don't want to take over it all. And don't lay off employees, this is also a problem." Xia Tian said in a dilemma.
Although Enron has many high-quality assets, many of them are new industries that are blindly exploited by fraudulent loans, investments, and blindly developing. For example, Enron invests in water services in Buenos Aires, Ateth, South America, which resulted in huge losses. In 1999, it founded a network company and wanted to buy and sell network bandwidth, but it also suffered huge losses...
Industries like this are not ready to take over in summer because they are all inferior assets. If you want to turn losses into profits, it takes a lot of time and energy, which is not worth it for summer.
Furthermore, although it is pitiful that more than 20,000 employees of Enron Company lost their jobs, Xia Tian is unwilling to accept them. Because they grew up in Enron Company, the so-called upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, and the senior executives of Enron are already broken. How good can these employees be?!
During an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. In fact, for these employees, summer preparation is not left. Even if they stay, it is temporary and will be replaced one after another in the future. Especially middle-level managers, they cannot stay.
"I know." Xiao Bushi nodded, "If you promise to help me, I will sell this company to you for 20 billion US dollars!"
"real?!"
