Chapter 185: The address of the predecessor is selected, and the Los Angeles branch is located!
"Is that so, no problem, if I am really elected, I will apply to transfer you all together!"
In fact, even if Nissen doesn't say it now, David has planned to do it.
After all, he is now accustomed to using these inspectors in the squad, and the inspectors in the squad have a tacit understanding with him.
And if he goes to a new place and is not familiar with the place and does not have a subordinate who is easy to use, it is not conducive to the development of his work.
"Great, then I'll thank you on behalf of everyone."
Although this result had been expected for a long time, Neeson was still happy to hear that David agreed so easily.
"Okay, Mofei is keeping an eye on the case, and if you find a suspicious person, bring it back to me immediately for trial."
This is still a big case in the new city, and after getting Kennan's gang done, David plans to solve this case as soon as possible.
……
Time flies, a week has passed in a blink of an eye, and there are only five days left before the deadline of the assessment period.
During this time, the competition on the tax performance list has also entered a white-hot stage.
At present, the first place is still Brown Soros from New York, with a tax performance of 76.55 million.
In second place is Bellamy Hardy of Los Angeles, with a total tax performance of 69.8 million.
In third place is David, with a slight gap of 69.11 million, temporarily succumbing to the third.
The reason why the top two people can have this tax performance is completely dependent on the resources of the two megacities of Los Angeles and New York.
And the reason why David was able to have this tax performance was that in addition to the bug of the golden finger, there were also taxes paid by the officials of the city halls one after another.
In addition, in this week, he also went to several cities and cracked the major cases screened by the municipal bureaus, which resulted in a total of 69.11 million tax results.
Washington General Administration, in the conference room on the top floor.
Since there are only five days left before the end of the current round of assessment period, Obadiah also held a high-level meeting today in order to determine what matters will be after the results are out.
After everyone was gathered, he looked around at everyone: "Now there are only five days until the end of this round of assessment period, what do you think?" ”
"In the last round of assessment, Brown Soros, who ranked first, got 75.11 million in taxes, but now he has received 76.55 million, I think in the remaining days, he is very likely to become 'Mr. 100 million yuan'!"
"If hundreds of millions of taxes are obtained in a single assessment period, what an incredible thing, and the god-making plan belongs to him!"
"Bellamy Hardy is not bad, the tax performance at the end of the last assessment period was 65.13 million, and now it has reached 69.8 million, and in the remaining days, I think it is no problem to break through the 80 million mark......"
“……”
Seeing that many high-level officials began to boast about the candidates they supported, Donald was naturally not to be outdone, and he immediately spoke: "Then according to what you say, David of the Lake District Bureau is even better, his tax performance of 62.66 million in the last assessment period has now reached 69.11 million!" ”
"That's right, according to the increase ratio, Brown Soros and the last round of the increase ratio is only about 1 million, and Bellamy Hardy is more than 4 million, but David's increase ratio is almost 7 million, in fact, from a certain point of view, David has won."
"I support Davy."
"I also support ......"
With Donald's voice, several high-level executives who had previously supported David also spoke out and echoed him.
And the high-level people who originally supported Bellamy Hardy and Brown Soros are also a little dumb at the moment.
Because these David supporters led by Donald are indeed right, judging from the proportion of increases alone, David is currently the biggest increase among the three.
Just when the momentum was about to fall to one side, the chief consultant Vertonghen spoke: "We have already decided, whoever has the highest tax performance in this round of assessment will be elected, everything depends on the tax performance, and the increase is not the decisive factor." ”
As soon as these words came out, the supporters of Brown Soros and Bellamy Hardy, who were still a little sluggish, instantly shook their momentum.
Yes, everything depends on the tax performance, and the current increase is useless?
And now, whether it is Bellamy Hardy or Brown Soros, the tax performance is pressing David, and it should be David and their supporters who are panicking!
Obadiah frowned slightly after hearing Vertonghen's words, but quickly turned to nonchalance and said: "There are still five days to go, and it is difficult to say who will kill the deer, but after the results come out, everyone thinks it is appropriate to transfer to which place, let's talk about it." ”
"Philadelphia, this city has always had the highest crime rate in our America, and now the city's major bureaus are even more messy about the tax revenue of the Black Tax Act, so it is most appropriate to transfer the elected person of the God-making Project to the past!"
"Philadelphia is a good place to be, but I think Chicago is a better fit, according to statistics, Chicago also has one of the highest crime rates in the United States, especially in recent years, and the violent crime rate is very high, although the Chicago government has taken some steps to combat crime, but the crime problem is still a big challenge for the city, and it is a good fit for our IRS elects."
"According to them, Houston is actually more suitable, you see......"
“……”
A group of high-level officials began to recommend their favorite cities in various places, and at the same time of recommendation, they also listed the benefits of the city's various crime rates to black tax revenue.
At this time, Obadiah looked at Vertonghen and asked, "Adviser Vertonghen, you were also present at the economic meeting chaired by Mr. President yesterday, so why don't you also share your views?" ”
Vertonghen was silent for a moment, and then said with a heavy face: "Actually, according to Mr. President's request, the places that everyone listed just now are not suitable......
Upon hearing this, many high-level executives at the scene were immediately stunned.
Of course, they are not listed casually, but after the analysis of various data, they are finally carefully screened out.
Why is it not suitable?
Puzzled, the Brown supporter Rahan couldn't help asking: "Adviser Vertonghen, what has Mr. President asked for?" ”
"You also know what is the current situation of our country's economy, and the black tax bill has only created more than 3 billion in tax revenue so far, do you think the president will be satisfied?"
As soon as Vertonghen's words came out, everyone at the scene fell silent.
Taxes and the economy are basically linked, and how can anyone in the room, who is at the top of the IRS, not understand the current economic situation in the United States.
Don't look at the United States as the world's only superpower and the most powerful developed country, but in fact, for various reasons, the global economy is now declining, and the United States is no exception.
However, the economic downturn is a downturn, and a lot of their own spending cannot be reduced, and even increases every year.
For example, military spending, which is the cornerstone of the United States to become a world hegemon, even if there is no money, it must not be reduced, and the United States spent $738 billion on military spending in 2020, an increase of 1.9% over the previous year.
The second is social security spending, according to statistics, the United States spent $1.1 trillion on social security in 2020, an increase of 3.8% over the previous year.
Social security spending is also an important expense in the United States, supporting benefits, health insurance, and retirement benefits for the elderly and disabled.
After all, the United States is a country where everyone has a gun, and if you dare to cut it today, tomorrow the affected people will dare to take out a gun and fight with you, causing social turmoil.
The second is health insurance spending, which in 2020 was $1.1 trillion, up 2.5% from the previous year.
Medicare spending is primarily used to support health insurance programs, including health care, medical assistance, and Medicaid, among others.
There is also Medicaid spending, which in 2020 was $686 billion, up 3.3% from the previous year, Medicaid is a federal and state health insurance program designed to provide health care services to low-income people.
Finally, there is the spending on veteran benefits, which in the United States was $67 billion in 2020, up 1.5% from the previous year.
In addition to this, there are various government expenditures.
All in all, the United States is a country where money is needed everywhere.
And where does all this money come from?
From IRS taxes, of course.
However, military spending, social security spending, and medical insurance spending are rising every year, while the tax rate is fixed, and it is impossible to follow the increase, nor can it rise if you want to.
And this naturally creates a large financial gap, so where does all this money come from?
The answer is a rate hike!
Since 2016, the Fed has raised interest rates eight times in a row.
Although the interest rate hike can cause a large amount of global capital to flow back to China, it will ease the pressure on national fiscal spending.
However, this will also cause disadvantages such as inflation and the outflow of high-quality assets, so it is impossible to use this trick every time there is financial pressure.
So what to do?
There is only one way to go through taxes!
This is also the reason why the Black Tax Act, which seems to be outrageous in other countries, was passed in the American Congress.
But now, after two or three months of tossing, they have tossed out more than 3 billion, which is an astronomical amount for ordinary people, but for a behemoth like the United States, it is not even a hair.
This amount of money is not enough to relieve the financial pressure of the entire country, and it is not enough to build an aircraft carrier, so it is no wonder that Vertonghen said that the president is not satisfied.
Seeing that everyone was silent for a long time, Obadiah spoke: "Actually, Mr. President's meaning yesterday was obvious, he was hinting to us that the black tax bill just handed us a knife, but this knife may not necessarily be used to kill those criminals......"
"If you don't kill the criminals, will you use it to kill the capitalists?"
As soon as Lahan's words came out, many high-level people trembled.
In the United States, 1 percent of the rich people own 32 percent of the country's wealth.
Ironically, however, the rich have used various 'legal tax avoidances' to contribute less than the middle class and the poor.
And because it is a legal tax avoidance, and these capitalists are all in a group to protect their own interests, so even their powerful IRS can only grit their teeth and be helpless against these people.
"I didn't say that!"
In the face of Lahan's words, Obadai first retorted, and then said: "But this is also a hint from the president, we can't pretend to be too deaf and dumb, we still have to do it!" ”
Donald nodded and agreed: "Since this is the case, the elected person of the god-making plan really can't just go to a city with a high crime rate, I think it is appropriate to choose a place where crime is rampant and the capital crime rate is high." ”
"Crime is rampant...... Plus where the capital crime rate is high...... Do you want to be transferred to New York? ”
"Crazy you, it's fine that you're fighting crime in New York, but if you're going to crack down on capital in an all-out way, do you know what that crowd on Wall Street would be like when they go crazy?"
"If New York can't do it...... The only thing I can think of is San Francisco's bend, which is where Silicon Valley exists, and it is indeed a place with a high capital crime rate. ”
"Silicon Valley? There are a number of super capital groups such as Dumb Masun, Gu Ge, and Wei Soft, who go to their turf to make trouble, do you think our IRS is not troublesome enough? ”
“……”
The high-level executives present began to carefully screen the area, but whether it was Silicon Valley in San Francisco or Wall Street in New York, they were opposed by many people present.
After about five or six minutes, one of the people in the room seemed to think of something, slapped his hand on the table and said, "Since New York and San Francisco can't do it, then I think there is a suitable place!" ”
"Oh? Woodward, what place are you talking about? ”
"Los Angeles, Western Suburbs!"
"Western Suburbs Branch!"
As soon as they heard this sub-bureau, everyone had different expressions.
They have 4 IRS branches in Los Angeles.
They are the Long Beach Branch, the Santa Monica Branch, the Riverside Branch, and the West Suburbs Office as we now call it.
Although the Western Suburbs Branch is not the largest regional branch in Los Angeles in terms of GDP, the Western Suburbs is definitely the most famous in terms of regional popularity.
The reason is simple, because Hollywood, which is famous all over the world, is in this region.
The executive, known as Woodward, explained: "I've seen the crime rate in this area before, and it's high compared to the rest of the country. ”
"And the director of the region is named Vivian, this person's ability is too mediocre, sitting on a super regional platform like Los Angeles, the total black tax performance in the last round of assessment period is less than 40 million, which is simply a waste!"
"And everyone knows that the film and television industry has always been a paradise for money laundering criminals, and there are also those Hollywood celebrities who also have the phenomenon of yin and yang contracts."
"But this is not the most critical thing, the most critical thing is that the capital here is much less pressure than the capital in other places!"
When the words fell, the eyes of everyone present flashed, and they all seemed to approve of Woodward's words.
The film and television industry is indeed a paradise for certain money launderers.
Because there are loopholes in the supervision of funds in the film and television industry, some film and television companies have adopted various means to legalize illegal funds in order to circumvent supervision.
Moreover, the industry involves a long industrial chain, from investment, production, distribution to sales and other links are very complex, even the IRS supervision is difficult to put in place in all aspects.
Another point is that those who can manipulate the film and television industry to launder money are all economic predators of criminals, ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions, which is not comparable to ordinary criminals at all.
As long as they can really solve a single case, it is not impossible that they will get more revenue than the Long Beach branch or the Manhattan office in an assessment period.
But that's not the main thing, the main thing, as Woodward said, is that the capital here is much weaker than the capital elsewhere.
At present, Hollywood is controlled by the eight major film companies, and among them, 'Disney' has a bit of strength.
The other seven major film companies, although they also have capital behind them, are not to the point where they are afraid of the IRS.
And if the elected ones of the God-making Project were to be transferred here, it would not only create a lot of tax revenue for their IRS.
It can be regarded as the best of both worlds in accordance with the president's request, showing the IRS's intention to crack down on capital crime and tax evasion!
After thinking for a while, Donald was the first to stand up and say: "Los Angeles West Suburbs Bureau, I think it's really suitable, so I agree!" ”
"I agree with that."
"Agreed!"
“……”
Whether it was Davy's supporters, Bellamy Hardy, or Brown Soros, they all agreed to the location.
In the end, only Obadiah and Vertonghen were left in the field without making a direct statement.
Obadia, on the other hand, looked at Vertonghen and asked, "How about Advisor Vertonghen, do you agree with this location?" ”
"Compared with Wall Street in New York and Silicon Valley in San Francisco, Hollywood's capital power is indeed much weaker, so I agree."
Vertonghen is not a fool, first of all the place is indeed suitable.
Secondly, he was just called by the president yesterday, and if he didn't say something, it would definitely be difficult to explain, so he could only agree.
"Since you also agree with Advisor Vertonghen, then this proposal has been unanimously approved!"
Obadiah looked at Woodward: "You go and deal with the affairs of the Western Suburbs Bureau, transfer the director and the personnel who should be transferred, and prepare the results of the assessment in five days, so that the candidates of the God-making Project will take up their duties in the bureau." ”
"It's the Director."
Obadiah turned to Donald again, "You arrange for an internal announcement to be made to confirm that the winner of the God-Making Project will take office in Los Angeles, but don't make it clear which bureau it is now!" ”
