Back to 1995

Chapter 385 Unpretentious
The overwhelming accusations left Silverman speechless. How could he say that Blizzard was indeed sold from him, but Blizzard and Xueleshan 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?
Not to mention him, if you don't look at the entire Silicon Valley and the technology companies in America, they all stare wide-eyed at Xueleshan Online, how many Song Yangs are there in the Internet industry?

The combination of these made Silverman feel extremely aggrieved. The feeling of being pointed and scolded and unable to retaliate is really uncomfortable. He has been in America for so many years. When did he experience this kind of pain? 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, what made Silverman suffer was not only the public opinion from the outside world, 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 glanced at the news, and they still had doubts about the teasing that he sold Blizzard and Sierra Mountain. Silverman was not interested in reading any more. It's not that he has a problem, he likes to be scolded.

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 if Wall Street is 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, what if CUC really had problems 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 it seemed that he suddenly figured 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 goddamn former CUC executives knew that there was a financial problem, or even made a fake by them, were they running away in such a hurry to leave? !

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 tell him..."

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 former executives of 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, no," Silverman immediately changed his words after saying it, "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. The companies in Song Yang’s hands are also inseparable from dealing with the federal side. 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 350 billion US dollars. It also reached an agreement with the Silicon Valley technology company ICQ to sell the game business department, including Xueleshan and Blizzard, for [-] million US dollars... ..."

On the TV station, the news that originally reported the ballots in the American states suddenly interrupted such a news. 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 screamed. The real business war was really unpretentious, and he came directly to the bounty hunters to arrest people from overseas to America without any delay.

"If ICNC opens, it will definitely attract viewership!"

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 state ballots that are about to start, Andy Lake said to Song Yang that he was helpless because ICNC TV station missed the general election and 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.
