[the giant of an era: step down in dismay!]
This was the front page headline of the New York Daily''s issue on the evening of April 30.
"During my term of office, WorldCom''s financial audit was absolutely clean. I firmly believe that WorldCom will continue to exist as an industry leader and set standards for the latecomers."
——Bernard Ebers.
"Whether the result is good or bad, the departure of Bernard Ebers, chairman and CEO of WorldCom, is bound to have a profound impact on WorldCom itself, including the telecommunications industry in the United States," the New York Daily said in an article
In this article, the biography of Bernard Ebers is also quoted.
Bernard was born in an ordinary family in Canada, and later came to the United States with his family because of his father''s work;
At the same time, he dropped out of high school twice;
After graduating from high school, I worked as a milkman for a period of time;
In a TV interview, he said: "it''s absolutely a very sad thing to go out to deliver milk day after day in the weather of minus 30 degrees, which once made me despair about the future."
However, he is also lucky!
He was lucky to get the favor of a university and won a basketball scholarship, so he got rid of the cold weather and depressed fate, and finally got a bachelor''s degree in sports from this university in 1967;
He worked as a basketball coach in middle school, changed his career to run a clothing warehouse, and founded a motel
It can be said that he is a grassroots!
However, it took only 16 years for such a grass-roots company to become the president of WorldCom, and all the way to develop WorldCom into a communications giant with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars!
His life is wonderful and inspiring!
Fortune magazine said in an article: "he is a man who has influenced an era and a giant in the telecommunications industry!"
"Time magazine said in an article:" stepping down from WorldCom is undoubtedly the loss of WorldCom and the loss of global communication industry! "
"He used to be the first person in charge of the global telecommunications industry," the paper said
.......
The Chicago evening news, the Washington Post, the national Herald and other media newspapers and magazines are all one. The front page headlines of the newspapers and magazines published on the evening of April 30 are all about "Bernard Ebers".
Many people in the United States are talking about him!
The next day.
Bernard Ebers, who has resigned, has come to WorldCom''s headquarters, the office that once belonged to him.
"Well, what''s going on?"
As soon as he opened the door of his office, Ebers woke up to find that his office had changed a lot!
Desks, lockers, decorations and even floors have all changed.
"Hi, Mr. Ebers, welcome to my office! Are you surprised that this is no longer your familiar office? Yes, I''ve had people change it overnight. Even the floor, I''ve had them change it all. I don''t think you mind? "
Said Dinah Shaw Lewis.
He used to be the closest comrade in arms of Ebers, fighting with him to create the brilliance of WorldCom today. Prior to that, he served several times as vice chairman and second leader of the company.
Now
Dana Shaw Lewis drove Ebers away and successfully took the top position in WorldCom!
"It''s no use if you mind."
Dana Shaw Lewis narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "don''t forget, man, I''m the chairman of WorldCom now!"
"Hum!"
Bernard Ebers immediately snorted, his heart filled with endless anger: "Shaw, don''t get carried away. Believe me, before long, I''ll be back here again, and you''ll be like a dog, barking in front of me. "
Hearing this, Dana Shaw Lewis shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "you don''t have a chance. You''re old."
"We''ll see."
Bernard Ebers didn''t want to say more and left with a hard word.
Not long
Underground parking lot, a Ford luxury car, there are only two people in the car at the moment.
Bernard Ebers, former chairman and CEO of WorldCom;
Scott Sullivan, financial director of WorldCom;
"Did you see that just now?" Ebers raised his eyes.
"Yes."
Chief financial officer Scott Sullivan said in a deep voice: "boss, I am always on your side. I firmly believe that only you can lead WorldCom to a more brilliant tomorrow."
Ebers nodded with satisfaction.
Loyal and dutiful, who doesn''t like it?
What''s more, their interests are consistent and tied together. WorldCom''s financial revenue falsely reported amounts to tens of billions, which is what they did. Well, it''s the two of them.
They are grasshoppers on the same rope.
Once the scandal is exposed, neither Ebers nor Sullivan can run away!
Ebers said gravely, "now that I''ve lost control of the company, you should know what that means."
Chief financial officer Scott Sullivan nodded heavily, "it means that our financial fraud may be exposed at any time."
"That''s right!"
Ebers said in a deep voice: "although I believe in your ability and your financial statements are perfect, there are no sealed things in the world. These... Can''t be covered in paper."
Once the scandal comes to light, they will be met with the disaster of death. It is certain that they will go to prison. If they are not well protected, they will die in prison.
"Boss, what do you say to do?" Asked Scott Sullivan, chief financial officer.
"Hold on!"
Ebers looked cold and gritted his teeth: "I don''t care if you use the above method. Before the company''s second quarter financial report is published, you must stabilize the company''s book. I will defeat Shaw as soon as possible and regain the power of the company. By then, everything will be solved."
Support?
How do you hold up?
"This, this, this..."
Scott Sullivan, the chief financial officer, was embarrassed.
As the saying goes: one emperor, one courtier.
How long can Ebers, the chief financial officer, be able to do now that he has stepped down? Maybe this position will be replaced by others tomorrow. After all, the position of financial director is too important.
"Hum!"
Ebers snorted coldly, "can''t you hold it? Then we all have to die! You know, with billions of dollars in deficit, those investors will tear us to pieces. "
Scott Sullivan
Energy giant Enron has collapsed!
He even once the WorldCom scandal exposed, then the whole WorldCom company will die miserably, even worse than Enron!
"The third watch" is here.
