It’s the same as praising the hero who set fire to the Holy Toilet of the Pure Land.

"As for new prey, there is indeed one, but I don't know if you are brave enough and ruthless enough."

Bill Gates and Paul Allen couldn't help but be a little surprised to hear Lu Yiming speak in such a loud tone.

Paul Allen said curiously: "You have shorted so many big companies, what other prey can be bigger than Intel and Microsoft?"

Although Bill Gates and Paul Allen are both from Microsoft, saying that Microsoft is somewhat boastful is a bit of a boast, but the fact is that Microsoft at the beginning of the 21st century has established its dominance in the industry.

With Microsoft systems monopolizing more than 90% of the global computer software market, it is definitely a big company among big companies.

Lu Yiming ignored this level of self-promotion and directly said a name.

"I'm talking about Enron."

When Lu Yiming said this name, both Bill Gates and Paul Allen changed their expressions.

"You want to take action against Enron?"

Obviously, Lu Yiming's words scared them.

You know, Enron was founded in 1930, and it was an energy industry giant that gradually prospered with the rise of the United States!

Enron is headquartered in Houston, USA. It is the largest natural gas purchaser and seller in the United States and a leading wholesale energy market maker. In addition, the company also operates a natural gas pipeline system and broadband division.

The company's seven subsidiaries are responsible for business operations in five fields, including transportation and storage, domestic natural gas and electricity services, international operations and market development, oil and gas exploration and production, and renewable energy development and utilization. It employs more than 20,000 people worldwide and has annual operations.

amounted to over US$100 billion.

In the latest issue of Fortune magazine's list of the world's top 500 companies, Enron ranked 16th in the world.

A proper super giant company, stomping its feet, makes the energy industry all over the world tremble!

Bill Gates thought there was something wrong with his ears and reminded Lu Yiming: "You are not American, so you may not know much about Enron Group's position in North America..."

"Haha, who said I didn't know? I know very well."

Lu Yiming waved, and Li Yiwen behind him brought up a briefcase. Lu Yiming rummaged through the briefcase and said, "I know that America has a tradition of going to other people's homes, so I always carry important things with me.

of."

"Found it."

Lu Yiming took out a document, handed it to Bill Gates, and said: "This is some information I collected about Enron. Originally, this was part of my follow-up plan. Considering Bill's sincerity in investing one billion US dollars,

I will take it out and share it with you now.”

Bill Gates was even more surprised: "Have you been prepared for this?"

Lu Yiming said: "In our Xia Kingdom, there is a popular saying, 'plan before taking action.' Since I want to play, I naturally have to take all factors into consideration."

Bill Gates couldn't help but say: "It's terrible."

After reading the information, Bill Gates and Paul Allen had expressions of horror and fear on their faces.

Bill Gates, who has been the richest man in the world for many years, could no longer calm down at this time. He raised his head and asked: "Is this information true?"

He is not a fool. He naturally knows that at this juncture, if Enron falls, it will have a heavy blow to the entire U.S. stock market.

Moreover, there is a huge force behind the Enron Group. If he offends them, even if he is the richest man in the United States, he will never be able to withstand the other party's counterattack.

Lu Yiming took back the information and handed it to Li Yiwen to put in the password box he carried with him. He smiled and said: "You can go to someone to verify whether these information are true. The premise is that you are not afraid of alerting the enemy. Of course, as for whether you want to take action or not, it is up to you.

Whether I have this interest or not, it doesn’t matter to me.”

There is no doubt that Enron Group is a big piece of meat, but not everyone has the ability to take a bite.

Anyway, if Lu Yiming was alone, he would not dare to openly short Enron Group's stocks, otherwise his private plane might be accidentally shot down by a missile from an overseas military base in the United States.

However, just because he doesn't dare to do it alone doesn't mean that Lu Yiming doesn't dare to instigate others to do it together. In a capitalist country, of course, everyone is only interested in profit, and the interior is by no means monolithic. There are countless loopholes that can be exploited.

In particular, "old money" forces like Enron Group and emerging technology capitalists like Bill Gates are in opposing camps. Even without Lu Yiming, they would still be fighting each other.

What Lu Yiming needs to do now is to quietly light a fire in the hearts of both parties.

Bill Gates did not express his position on the spot. He seemed to know nothing. He waved the golf club in his hand and said to Lu Yiming: "Let's play golf. The weather is so good today, so don't waste your time."

After playing golf all afternoon and having a sumptuous dinner in the evening, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen returned to the villa.

Li Yiwen couldn't help but said: "It's strange that the two of them are not moved. This is a big deal."

Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "No one doesn't like money."

Sure enough, just one day later, Lu Yiming received a call from Bill Gates.

"Lu, I think your plan is feasible."

When Lu Yiming heard this, he immediately laughed.

This was completely within his expectation.

No capitalist can resist the temptation to make money.

"Have you thought about it?"

Bill Gates was also unambiguous and immediately explained the situation to Lu Yiming: "If I were alone, of course I would not dare to get involved. After all, if I am not careful, I may not be able to see the sun the next day. But I can't find him."

There are few allies, they are obviously very interested in the profits from this."

Lu Yiming laughed when he heard this: "That's right, this is the America I know. Without further ado, after we have discussed how to divide the spoils, we can start taking action."

Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Bill Gates felt strange: "What, are you in a hurry?"

Lu Yiming smiled coldly: "You don't think we are the only ones targeting An Ran, do you? If we don't take action, we won't even be able to drink a sip of hot soup."

Bill Gates nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I'll go and urge it. Don't worry, the funds will be in place soon. We are determined to win this operation."
