Chapter 866 867 Investment may fail
Because Enron filed for bankruptcy, a large number of documents were taken away by the Securities and Exchange Commission for review, senior executives were questioned many times to collect evidence, and asset managers entrusted by the court began to enter the company. Although they still had the authorization to completely take over the company, they also The asset reorganization plan carried out by the management of the company is carefully checked.

The company's future is confusing, and the employees have already begun to feel flustered. I don't know who did it. The company's future development plan formulated by Jeffrey a few years ago has been leaked.

It is only now that people know that Enron once had such big ambitions, and wanted to gain control over energy market prices through continuous expansion and improvement of "Enron Online".

But all of this is gone, and no one thinks that Enron will have a chance to turn around.

However, there is no shortage of conspiracy theory enthusiasts in the world. With the exposure of these former Enron internal confidential documents, conspiracy theories shrouded in the shadow of Enron's bankruptcy have also begun to appear on the Internet.

Many conspiracy theory enthusiasts began to suspect that the Enron crisis was actually a conspiracy designed by the upper echelons of Wall Street. Perhaps they had already started digging holes in their hatred, and the purpose was very likely to be related to Enron's ambitions.

Of course, there is no evidence for these guesses, they are just guesses based on some things that have been exposed now, and an important part of it is that Peanutton did not intend to save Enron at the critical period of life and death. Obviously a stand-by attitude.

Such an attitude aggravates the suspicion of conspiracy theory lovers, because from the disclosed political trends of Enron in recent years, it is obvious that they are on the side of the current president, but this umbrella seems to have not played its role at all during the critical period. Some utility.

Seeing this, Chen Fan frowned slightly, but he wasn't worried at all.

It seems that some people in the United States have begun to pay attention to the causes and consequences of the outbreak of the Enron incident. Although they have guessed these before, they are only guesses.

However, Chen Fan has already thought of another problem in his mind, that is, those accounts that shorted Enron stock before, it seems that they can't be kept anymore, and they have to be disposed of carefully, so as not to be followed by curious people.

Chen Fan believed from the bottom of his heart that someone was manipulating the Enron incident, and the US government should be able to settle it easily.

As a large company with tens of billions of assets has been reduced to file for bankruptcy protection and carry out asset restructuring, the US government cannot remain indifferent, and must take some actions to appease the Congress and the public.

Of course, Chen Fan wasn't worried that these actions would threaten him, because there was a high probability that it was just a formality, and he wouldn't do anything real. Or would he really catch the people behind the scenes?
The top management of Enron must know something. It can be seen from their desperate efforts to reduce their stock holdings last year when the stock price was still high. In particular, Jeffrey's stock reduction and subsequent resignation can be guessed.

Knowing some truths, Enron's top executives were reduced to such a point that they dared not say anything more. Presumably, there are plenty of people behind the scenes who can deal with the aftermath of the incident.

But what you should do here is to do well to avoid accidents.

Chen Fan planned to wait two days before returning home to discuss this matter with Xu Jing, but after continuing to browse the materials sent by Zhang Quan today, Chen Fan couldn't sit still.

Yes, after Enron sold its energy trading unit, it was time to dispose of other assets.

So far, Enron's natural gas pipeline department is the second asset that needs to be sold for cash, but there is something in this document that Chen Fan doesn't like very much, that is, Enron seems to intend to keep the three power plants. Instead of selling it.

Enron's management only intends to sell natural gas pipeline assets and other assets, including all water assets, so as to completely return to the starting point enterprise industry and no longer intervene in other industries.

If Enron does not sell its power generation assets, then some of Chen Fan's previous preparations will come to naught. In fact, it is not only him, but also other companies and institutions that want to get involved.

However, looking at the information, it seems that if the current management of Enron really plans to reorganize in this way, they really have nothing to do.

After all, it is only bankruptcy protection now, not real bankruptcy liquidation.

Obviously, if Enron can deal with those huge debts after selling the natural gas transportation department and other assets, it is of course the best choice for Enron to keep the power generation assets. An explanation.

But this obviously can't satisfy the desires of people like Chen Fan who are already coveting. Now that Enron stock has been delisted, even if you want to get in, it will be very troublesome. You can only contact the shareholders of Enron Company in private to buy Enron stock.

Moreover, the reorganization plan may change at any time. I may think so today, but after disposing of those assets, it is still not enough to repay the debt, and still cannot meet the demands of creditors. Maybe Enron's stock is really worthless.

At this moment, Chen Fan could only sigh in his heart and curse a few words, what else could he do?
We can only wait until the management of Enron Company disposes of other assets and see the situation. Maybe we really drool for a long time and get nothing in the end.

Because once Enron's power generation assets are hopeless, the Southern Investment Group will definitely not continue to keep a huge amount of cash, and the things they did in the country before have become a waste of money for blind people.

By this time, Chen Fan was a little discouraged. He had already felt that all calculations were unlikely to succeed.

Just when he was disappointed, he suddenly felt hands appearing on his shoulders, kneading them constantly, and at the same time, a familiar smell of perfume entered his nose.

"Is the child asleep?"

Chen Fan didn't turn his head, and leaned back slightly to enjoy Liu Ying's service.

"I'm already asleep, and you're also resting, it's late."

Liu Ying's voice came from behind.

However, perhaps seeing that Chen Fan seemed to be in a bad mood, he continued to ask, "What's wrong? Did something not go your way?"

After thinking about it, Chen Fan felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and Liu Ying knew something about it, but she didn't follow up, so she said, "Didn't I tell you before that I planned to buy a spin-off from Enron Company?" The power plant, Zhang Quan sent a message today saying that there is a high probability that Enron will retain the assets of the power plant."

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal. If you don't sell it, don't sell it. As long as you have money, you can have a chance at any time."

Liu Ying said indifferently.

"Hehe, if they don't sell it, we can't force it to sell. It's a pity. It's a pity. I thought I could deploy an asset in the United States. A power plant, a project that can continue to make profits for a long time."

Chen Fan said in a rambling manner that he still didn't mention a word about his plans in China, which was a bit too sensitive.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Fan still asked, "Daughter-in-law, when are you planning to return to China?"

This time, I have been staying in Ou Lu for more than ten days. Seeing that Chen Fan is about to go back, but I have never heard from my parents that they have plans to go back.

"My parents may have to stay for a while. As for me, I may go back in the middle of the year and stay for a few months before coming back."

Liu Ying said softly.

"Actually, you don't need to be so vigilant at all. I'm still very safe in China. Even if there's anything, we'll just go abroad. There's no need to live abroad for a long time like now. My son is still so young."

Chen Fan sighed softly and said that he was very clear about Liu Ying's thoughts. Maybe it was her interest to develop the Ecos Company, but the main reason was to leave a way out. Now that he had a son, Chen Fan was more worried about Liu Ying returning to live in China time will decrease.

"Wait another two years, and the influence of the company here will increase a little bit, and I think it should be fine."

Liu Ying still said, obviously she still chooses to continue to spend most of her energy here in the past two years to develop the Yikes company.

"Okay, stop pinching, your hands will be sore for a while."

Chen Fan put his hand on Liu Ying's shoulder and said, he took advantage of the situation and pulled the woman behind him to sit on his lap. The two of them looked at each other like this. Chen Fan could see a complicated look in Liu Ying's eyes. mean.

After a while, Liu Ying suddenly smiled and said, "Didn't you say to buy a business jet last time, and a bigger one? I contacted two companies. The big planes are the European Airbus and the American Boeing." gone."

"Oh, they, let's go to 747. I remember what Zheng Xiaopang told me back then. Most of the sky palaces of the local tyrants in the Middle East are modified by 747. They are completely flying villas."

Chen Fan was fascinated by Liu Ying's smile just now, and then he heard about buying an airplane, so he said casually.

I forgot, I saw it when I was reading some magazine. After reading the above photos and the above explanation, I can only complain about "the big dog has money".

But at the time, Chen Fan was envious and jealous, but at the same time, he was also thinking about whether to engage in such a fight for himself, because he was rich and could afford it.

Hearing Liu Ying talk about this at this time, thinking about the future family members may have to live a life similar to flying by car, buying a bigger plane with better facilities seems to be the best choice.

"In the Middle East, many of them are actually Airbus 340s. I have read some information about the aircraft they manufacture. They are all private jets, and they are actually similar to Boeing."

Liu Ying thought about it and said that she is not a woman who doesn't know anything. She has read these materials when she was in contact with Boeing and Airbus salesmen before. The airliner materials they brought over are all cases of similar purposes.

From these materials, Liu Ying also opened her eyes.

She really hasn't noticed what the cars of the super rich look like. She has always thought that their planes are top-notch private jets, but when she sees that they are changing large passenger planes into business jets, some of them are still The structure of the upper and lower floors can be divided into a functional room, isn't it no different from a villa?
Although the prices of these planes are very impressive, Liu Ying really doesn't care about the price when she spends money now, because there seems to be nothing that cannot be swiped out of Chen Fan's credit card. If you can't finish brushing in one day, then divide it into two days.

The credit card used by Chen Fan is the card of Hua Merchant Bank. After all, it is one of the four major banks in Huaguo, and the credit is still guaranteed.

Of course, Chen Fan's credit card was not processed in the sales department. It was done before, but after Chen Fan made a fortune, the credit rating given to Chen Fan by the card issuing bank has been continuously improved due to the growing deposits in the card, and the credit card has been actively processed. After changing the card twice, I have been promoted to the top gold card of Chinese Commercial Bank.

The maximum single consumption limit of this card is 1 million yuan, and the maximum monthly overdraft limit is as high as 10 billion yuan.

Of course, this is just what is written in the credit card manual. Liu Ying has never tried whether there is really such a large amount. After all, there are so many things in the world that cost so much money. It's not credit card swiping anymore, it's all business transactions, usually by bank transfer.

So after seeing the aircraft information submitted by the sales managers of Airbus and Boeing, Liu Ying was really eager to try it at that time, and wanted to use the card to try it out.

The credit card in Liu Ying's hand is actually the secondary card of Chen Fan's card, but the authority has been infinitely upgraded, and it is almost the same as the main card. This is why such top-level bank card customers can make these requests. Ordinary bank card Who will give you the opportunity to customize permissions.

Of course, because IKOS is developing very rapidly in the Netherlands, and is very rich, and often acquires assets with a lot of money, so Liu Ying also got a credit card from the Dutch Bank, which is said to be a mixture of palladium and gold. A golden bank card forged.

According to the account manager of the bank, this thing is the so-called "black card", but the top credit card used by ABN AMRO Bank does not choose black.

"Let's just choose the 747. After all, the output of this thing is large, and it should be more secure in terms of safety."

What Chen Fan saw at the beginning seemed to be a private jet transformed from a Boeing 747 airliner in the United States. The impression was too deep, "If you need it in the future, I will buy another Airbus."

But after thinking about it, Chen Fan still said that he had already made up his mind that Bombardier would be left to Fatty and the others, and he and his wife would buy an airplane, so whether he went to look for her or she came to look for him, it would be all right. convenient.

"That plane costs hundreds of millions of dollars. Aren't you still planning to buy Anran's power plant?"

Now Liu Ying frowned slightly, raised her nose and said.

"That doesn't matter. I have more than 30 billion yuan in my Swiss bank card. This money is not enough. I plan to make up for it with dividends on the Chaofan investment account. The difference is as long as it is. Let's go." For the accounts of the offshore company, we are still hiding behind the scenes, and you will be the company owner at that time, but for the power plant assets, find a professional manager to manage them, and there shouldn’t be too much trouble.”

Chen Fan said with a smile, but he became more and more pessimistic in his heart. He felt that the possibility of acquiring the assets of Anran Power Plant was infinitely close to zero.
