Chapter 132: Desperate Pursuit (Asking for Recommendation)
Ms. Hemmer arrived before 9 a.m. the next day with a legal representative from her housekeeping company. The parties signed an employment contract.
Within half an hour, Ms. Hemmer had packed her luggage and was immediately at work. I have to say that she is really an experienced nanny, and it didn't take twenty minutes for Hannah not to reject her hugging, and she was willing to play with her.
Link deliberately stayed out of Hannah's sight. He watched secretly for about an hour, and Hannah didn't seem to notice that he wasn't in the living room. It made him a little lost. But that seemed to be exactly what he wanted.
Little Hannah has someone to take care of, and he also has more time to think about how to run his business.
Because little Hannah was the first day with Ms. Hemmer, he didn't dare to go too far, but just went to the study.
He had a lot to deal with during this time. First of all, the three farms are about to start to come back to life after a cold winter. He needed to arrange the work plan of the farm one last time.
Secondly, it is now early February, and he also needs to start preparing for personal income tax returns. He has a lot of assets, and his income last year was also very high, so he must have a lot of taxes to pay. In particular, his real estate is spread across three states, and the filing of property taxes is also cumbersome. How to avoid taxes and reduce taxes is a complex issue. He had to give McCalli enough time to calculate.
Finally, there is the lawsuit he initiated with the New Mexico Department of Revenue. If the other party is willing to settle, he should also deal with the matter as soon as possible. As for the follow-up, it may take him some energy.
He retrieved all the invoices and receipts and receipts, typed them into his computer, and prepared to send them to Mercari to prepare his tax return.
He was busy when his phone rang. He picked up his phone and looked at it, and saw that it was Giovanni calling. This is still the first time that the other party took the initiative to call him.
In a few days, the other party will be inaugurated as governor, which should be his busiest time, so it will be difficult to call him to invite him to his inauguration?
He answered the phone and said, "Hello, Mr. Governor. This is Link. ”
"Hello Link. But I'm not a governor yet. Giovanni said with a smile.
"It's just three days in advance. Link smiled and leaned back in his chair. "And by this time, you should have been in office for a month. "The previous governor of New Mexico had something going wrong with his job, and Giovanni was reluctant to take office until the transition was clear. So the state legislature had to decide to postpone the inauguration by a month. But in fact, Giovanni has already begun to act in the driving part of the governorship. It's just that he hasn't been able to take office yet.
Giovanni smiled and said, "Yes, I'm probably the shortest serving of all the governors in the country." He stopped laughing. "Link, I hope it didn't bother you. ”
"Of course not. ”
"Kent Healy found me this morning. He came to my office and, in addition to congratulating me again, offered to see you. ”
When Feng Zi heard this, his brows furrowed, but the tone in his mouth did not change at all, and said, "I don't know what Mr. Senator is looking for me?"
Giovanni said in a deep voice: "He didn't go into details, just said that there might be some misunderstanding with you. But he doesn't know your contact details, so he wants to contact you through me. ”
Feng Zi had an idea in his heart when he heard it. His suspicions were right before, and the one who put him on the list of suspected tax evaders was probably Kent Heaney. The New Mexico Department of Revenue should be prepared to compromise, and the Department of Revenue has evidence on its side. That made Kent Heaney feel the pressure.
The other party approached him through Giovanni, probably because he was worried that the tax bureau would hand over the relevant evidence to him in order to settle with him. So I want to settle with him before the tax bureau contacts him.
Link didn't care if his guess was right or not. But he didn't plan to let go of the Kent Heaney chicken.
That's right, Kent Heaney is a federal senator. One of the highest groups of people in the nation's power pyramid. But Link knew that his influence was not strong yet, or he would not have run for governor as a senator.
He also investigated Kent Heaney, who did not have a lot of political experience, and Kent Heaney was able to serve as a member of the House of Representatives and then immediately as a senator, the most important reason for which was the political resources left by Kent Heaney's father, who had served as a senator for New Mexico for more than 20 years. And Kent Heaney did nothing commendable in the position of councillor.
From his experience, Link also saw Kent Heaney's ambitions. That is to want to be the president of the United States.
Link doesn't care if the other party has a chance in the end. He only knew that even if Kent Heini came to him to beg for mercy this time, it was impossible for the two sides to become a friendly relationship. In that case, why should he let the other party go. And he's in need of a chicken that kills a monkey right now. And Kent Heaney is the best object.
Link can't completely ignore Giovanni's face, but he also doesn't want to do what he doesn't want to do because of the other party's face. He solemnly said into the phone: "Mr. Giovanni, you know that I have never had a moment of friendship with Mr. Senator. And I suspect that it was this Mr. Senator who made me a tax evasion suspect some time ago. So I don't have anything to say to him. ”
He can save face with Giovanni, but he doesn't intend to embarrass himself. But he can be clear about the reasons for his refusal. If Giovanni couldn't understand it, then the weak friendship between them wouldn't have to be considered.
Hearing Link say that, Giovanine wasn't surprised. In fact, he also had that suspicion, but he felt that Kent Heaney was a federal senator in the end, and Link might give some face to turn the conflict into a jade silk, but he didn't expect Link to plan to fight Kent Heaney to the end.
However, he is not stupid, he thinks that Link may be too young and vigorous, but he also suspects that Link has some evidence that can bring Kent Heaney into disrepute, and even bring Kent Heaney to prison.
And he was more inclined to the latter, or Kent Heaney would not have begged him.
With this in mind, he said no more: "Since you have decided so, I can only regret to inform Mr. Senator." ”
Link smiled and said, "I've embarrassed you, Mr. Giovanni. ”
"No, I'm too abrupt. "Giovanni has a good understanding of Link. This is not a young man who can be easily provoked because of the color of his skin.
At the end of the call, Link was thinking about how to deal with Kent Heaney. Although he is not 100% sure, he has basically decided that the other party is the person he is looking for.
But even if he did, there was no evidence. His purpose was to give the person who was going to get him a big one, not a small one-time fight.
I just don't know if the New Mexico Department of Revenue has some evidence that can make Kent Heaney irrefutable. Or whether the other party is willing to take it out.
If a tax office casually does something illegal at the behest of a senator, it also proves that it has lost its executive independence. If something happens, the tax office will also become the target of criticism. He felt that even if the IRD had to compromise with him, it might not be willing to hand over the evidence easily.
And now the court summons should have been sent to the New Mexico Department of Revenue, but there seems to be no sign of contact with him.
In this case, he can also make the other person move faster.
He slid his chair in front of his computer, then opened his social networking site, and crackled a few paragraphs into a new post:
"It is an honor to inform all of you that the District Court for District IX has accepted my lawsuit against the New Mexico Department of Revenue. I'm not asking them to apologize to me. The IRS have already apologized, and they are not qualified enough to ask me to apologize for such trouble. I'm not trying to make them lose money, they still eat with taxpayers' money, and I don't value that money. I just want them to be self-aware: their ability to work from top to bottom doesn't even match that of a security guard at the town hall. ”
"Why do I say that? I'm honored to introduce you to a town hall security guard named Dean Fernando, or maybe he's not from City Hall. But when I went to the second New Mexico gubernatorial candidate televised debate, he recognized that I wasn't a resident of New Mexico, so I was stopped because he said he wasn't eligible to enter. Although I applied for a permit, even though I have a farm in New Mexico with a total area of more than 100,000 acres. But he decided that I was not qualified to sit in on the debate on the candidate for governor. However, the state's tax office has made the opposite judgment and held that a person who has been identified by a security guard as a non-resident of the state should pay personal income tax in the state. ”
"The clear truth is that my health insurance, my home is in Nevada, and I personally don't spend much of my time in Nevada in a year. But the tax officials in New Mexico thought I owed the state more than $200 million in personal income taxes, and of course nearly $200 million in federal income taxes. ”
"I had a question in my mind, and that was that the state's tax office had to recruit staff on one of the following criteria: blind people, and in order to figure it out, I took them to court. Maybe the court will give me an answer. ”
He had just finished checking and correcting what he had entered, and was about to send it. His phone rang again, but this time it was Mike.
"Boss, you asked me to contact those two people and would like to talk to you again. ”
Link listened, smiled and said, "You give me their contact information." ”
After a while, he received a message on his phone. It was Mike who sent it, and it only had a name and a phone number in it.
He first sent out the post, and then continued to complete his income and expenditure statistics.
Although he has a lot of income, the source of his income is not complicated, and his expenses are not too much. He quickly typed in all the information he needed to enter and emailed it to McCalli. This is only a preliminary estimate, and he will need to hand over the income and expenditure bills of several farms to the other party later.
Finally called McAly and asked him to check his email.
When he was done, he dialed the phone number from Mike. The call was answered quickly......
