Chapter 385
Chapter 385 Unpretentious
The overwhelming accusations left Silverman speechless. How could he say that Blizzard was indeed sold from him, but Blizzard and Sierra Mountain at that time were only somewhat well-known.
And when they went out, the board of directors of CUC International Company and Wall Street were all touting this deal. When counting the money, the directors of CUC International Company were not what they are today!
As for the Xueleshan online platform, it made Silverman even more aggrieved. He is the president of a company engaged in real estate and tourism. How could he think that he can play like this?
Let's not talk about him. If you don't look at the technology companies in Silicon Valley and America, they all stare at Xueleshan Online. How many Song Yangs are there in the Internet industry?
The combination of these made Silverman extremely aggrieved. The feeling of being pointed at and scolded by others, but unable to retaliate, is really too uncomfortable. He has been in America for so many years, when did he suffer from this? Birdy.
Even, Silverman also heard that the American Business School's gang of incompetent people is planning to list the acquisition of ICQ and CUC International as a classic case, so he must be the villain who has no vision , This is ready to completely disgust Silverman to death.
However, it was not only public opinion from the outside world that caused Silverman to suffer. The media's accusations and insults against him, Silverman could bear it, but the problems from Wall Street made Silverman a little restless.
"Wall Street hasn't shut up yet?!"
Silverman only read the news a few times, all of which were doubts about his ridicule of selling Blizzard and Sierra Mountain. Silverman was not interested in reading any more.
The CUC executive who was asked by Silverman shook his head, his face was a little dignified, "Many of the Wall Street media and hedge fund companies are accusing CUC of having financial problems before merging with HFS. We don't know, is this Wall Street deliberately attacking us, or..."
The current CUC International Company is a merger of CUC International and HFS Group, or the latter dominates the current CUC International Company. Silverman is also the former president of HFS Company. After the merger, he led With HFS executives taking over the now consolidated CUC International Corporation.
Who would have imagined that the popularity of a game could involve so many things, and CUC International Corporation began to suffer bad luck.
"The double-click thing hasn't made the hedge funds on Wall Street remember!" Silverman slapped the table, his face became ugly, accusing him of being blind, and accusing CUC International of financial fraud are completely different things, scolding him Without vision, Silverman also admitted it, saying that CUC International Corporation was fraudulent, and that was really going to kill CUC International Corporation. Silverman thought that the short sellers on Wall Street were doing things again.
"If only Wall Street is attacking CUC International, it's okay to say, if there is really a problem with CUC before the merger?!"
An executive from HFS, who has been with Silverman all the way to the present, said to Silverman, "Before the merger, CUC did not disclose the profits of previous years, and the accounts are indeed somewhat inconsistent, especially CUC International In the two years before the company merged with us, there was a gap between the profits announced by the company and what we saw after the merger!"
Hearing this, Silverman's eyelids twitched, he had an ominous feeling, and now he seemed to suddenly figure out what he thought was strange before.
After the merger of CUC and FSH, a group of senior executives, including former CUC International President Walter Forbes and Chief Financial Officer Anne Paquin, immediately slapped their butts and left with high compensation.
At that time, Silverman was also fortunate that the executives of the CUC series were very knowledgeable and left the stage early, avoiding the power struggle between the executives of CUC and HFS, and deliberately increased the compensation for the resigned former executives of the CUC company , just to get them out of here.
But thinking about it now, Silverman thought of another possibility. If those **** former CUC executives knew that there was a financial problem, or even made a fake by them, would they be running away if they left in a hurry? !
Not only Silverman thought of this, but other executives of the original HFS company also thought of this, and their faces became ugly. If this is true, then they are being taken for a ride. ? !
"Call Walter and ask him to..."
As soon as Silverman said it, he heard the following people say, "Walter Forbes has gone to Panama for vacation. He has left since the merger. Many executives of CUC International have gone overseas for vacation, or even immigrated to overseas!"
Hearing this, Silverman's face turned pale. He felt that the executives of the former CUC International Company stepped on the ground and rubbed their brains.
"Get Walter back to me, no matter what method, I want him to appear in America and go to Bruno Song's Blackwater Company. Doesn't Blackwater Company have bounty hunters? No matter how much it costs, let them take Get it to America, Walter!"
"Go to Ernst & Young Accounting Firm, no," just said it, Silverman immediately changed his words, "let Deloitte Accounting Firm audit all the accounts of CUC International, including all accounts before the merger of CUC!"
Now Silverman doesn't believe the people from the original CUC company, including the Ernst & Young accountant who has been cooperating with CUC company. If there are financial frauds, the Ernst & Young accountant who is responsible for the audit of the original CUC International Company will definitely not be able to escape. Anyway, Silverman couldn't trust them all, so he had to check the accounts himself.
Silverman said angrily to his subordinates that if there is a financial problem, he will not be much better off, but Walter and Anne Paquin will not be much better off, he Silverman may lose money, but Walter's group will not have to go to the federal prison for a few years, and if they don't pay out all their net worth, then the debt will not be counted!
During this period of time, Song Yangde's San Jose villa was extremely noisy. The election for the leadership of America has reached the final stage. The major media in America have begun to go crazy. The pro-donkey and pro-elephant TV stations are even Foaming from the mouth, scolding loudly.
In the villa, Song Yang, Irene, Gleick, Gallo, Wesley, Evan Spiegel, ICNC TV President Andy Lake, editor-in-chief Williams and a large group of people were present. Whitman, Iger even flew over from Houston and New York.
Today is the day when the next four-year Amerika leader will be released. Right now, Song Yang is naturally very concerned about it. Now these companies in Song Yang's hands are inseparable from dealing with the Federation. Any change in the bill will affect the produce different effects.
"The Wall Street Journal published a report today, arguing that CUC International Corporation had already started financial fraud before the merger in 1995, and the amount may be astonishing. When interviewed by the media, Silverman, the president of CUC International Corporation, did not express anything, but Declare that if there are financial frauds, no one will be tolerated or covered!
After the merger of CUC International and HFS, the stock price hit a new high, with a market value of more than 35 billion U.S. dollars. It also reached an agreement with the Silicon Valley technology company ICQ to sell the game business department at a price of 400 million U.S. dollars, including Xueleshan and Blizzard inside..."
On the TV station, the news that originally reported the ballots of the American states was suddenly interrupted. Andy Lake, who is very sensitive to media news, immediately sniffed and said, "CUC International has a problem!"
Watching the news on TV, and the scene of Silverman with a black face in front of the camera, Song Yang didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't know if it was Silverman's bad luck or a conflict of characters. The popularity of "Diablo" had caused Silverman to be scolded, but now he was also covered by news of financial fraud.
Gallo put down the phone at this time and whistled, "Blackwater has a big job. It should be the people from Silverman's side. They want the bounty hunters of Blackwater. The former president of CUC, Walter, and other high-level Just get America back from overseas!"
Hearing this shocking news, Andy Lake couldn't help but exclaimed. The real business war was really unpretentious. He came directly to the bounty hunters and arrested people from overseas to America without any delay.
"If ICNC is on stage, it will definitely attract the ratings!"
Andy Lake said regretfully, "ICNC TV has missed too many things, my God..."
Ignoring Andy Lake, who was afraid that the matter would be small, Song Yang, Greg and others glanced at each other, and they all felt that the CUC International Company might have a big problem, and Silverman would not hesitate to use the bounty hunter, They also want to bring those people back to America. It is obvious that CUC International has a financial problem, and I am afraid it is still a big hole, otherwise it will not go to war and forcefully turn the internal fighting into a war.
Song Yang nodded to Gallo, and asked Blackwater Company to take over the order. Anyway, it was Silverman who paid for it. Things are getting better.
"Boss, the preparation speed of ICNC TV station is a bit too slow!"
After sitting down, looking at the results of the upcoming state elections, Andy Lake said to Song Yang that ICNC TV station missed the general election and was helpless because it could not report.
"This may not be a bad thing for ICNC TV station!" Song Yang turned his head and said to Andy Lake. A new TV station dances too much. It will definitely be targeted. , but if there are too many explosions, it will inevitably attract people's hatred and be targeted. Before ICNC TV station developed, Song Yang actually didn't think too much about it. Let ICNC TV station just set up, it involved too many serious things. , social issues and the like.
