Chapter 189: No one wants to be a substitute for the company
"Don't worry, their bones won't be harder than yours, and they'll do it!"
Hearing these slightly meaningful words, Andrew was stunned at first, and then suddenly reacted, looking at Bucky and Simmons behind David.
Sure enough, they also had several file bags in their hands.
Don't......
Is this the handle of his other colleagues?
It should be!
If David can collect his handles, he can also collect the handles of his other colleagues.
Thinking of this, Andrew sighed helplessly, and then turned back in the direction of the warden's office.
In the warden's office, Maltz and the managers of the districts were still waiting anxiously, and after seeing Andrew walk in, the person in charge of Area A immediately asked, "How is Deputy Warden Andrew?" ”
When the words fell, looking at Andrew with a dejected face, everyone had a premonition.
And the other party's next words also confirmed their guess.
"Warden, I planted ......"
As soon as Andrew's words came out, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly froze.
After a long while, Maltz asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by being planted?" ”
"He didn't know when he started investigating me, and he didn't know what method to use, but in short, all my violations, as well as the details of illegal income and funds, were all investigated......"
"What the are you talking about!"
Maltz looked shocked, and the others were no better, all looking incredulous.
Now they realize that the cruel words that David put down after leaving yesterday really didn't seem to scare them!
The scene was silent for a long time, and then Maltz came back to his senses and asked with a gloomy face: "In other words, he only found out about your violations and various illegal income and fund details, and he didn't find out the accounts of our prison?" ”
"It doesn't seem to be ......"
Hearing this, Maltz and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This is also a blessing in disguise.
"But...... He demanded that we hand over the accounts, otherwise we would ......"
Andrew's words made everyone's faces pull up.
After some thoughts, Maltz said in a deep voice: "Andrew, you also know what kind of company our GCO is, if the real accounts are in the hands of the IRS, it will be catastrophic, and that group of executives will definitely be angry, when the time comes...... I'm afraid it's hard to be kind, so let's do it, it's better for you to carry it yourself, this can be regarded as preserving the glory and wealth of your family, and we will remember you. ”
"Yes, Deputy Warden Andrew, if we hand over the accounts, it will be a serious blow not only to the entire GCO prison in Nevava, but also to all the prison systems in our country, and the consequences are not for you and us to bear."
"I think Warden Maltz is right, Deputy Warden Andrew, even if you don't think about us, you have to think about your family......"
“……”
When it comes to his own future and fate, Maltz and these people don't care about the feelings of their colleagues, and in order to get Andrew to comply, many people even threaten his family openly and secretly.
At this time, Andrew, when he heard everyone's words, seemed to be thinking about himself; But in fact, after thinking about Mingzhe's words to protect himself, his heart was also extremely sad.
He sneered and said slowly: "I can carry it, but I just don't know if you can carry it." ”
Hearing the first half of the sentence, the group was still a little happy, but the second half of the sentence made them stunned.
Maltz couldn't help but ask, "Deputy Warden Andrew, what do you mean by that?" ”
"Do you think David only has my handle in his hands?"
"What does that mean?"
"Hehe, he also has your handle!"
"What!"
The crowd was even more shocked than they had just heard Andrew say he had carried it.
And David not only collected Andrew's handles, but also theirs?
How is this possible......
"Troubled Drew, this is absolutely impossible to be true, absolutely impossible to ......"
Andrew looked at him and replied in a sarcastic tone: "Then since David can collect my handle, then what's so difficult to collect your handle, don't you think you can be cleaner than me?" ”
Everyone is a colleague in this prison, and it is naturally a tacit thing that the hands and feet are not clean.
"This ......"
At this moment, whether it was the heads of the districts or the warden Maltz, their faces were solemn and speechless.
And seeing these people like this, Andrew felt a burst of relief in his heart at this time, and let out a long breath.
Didn't these people let themselves carry it just now?
Now as soon as they heard that their own handles were also held in David's hands, they pretended to be shrunken turtles one by one?
At that moment, Maltz suddenly stood up and walked out the door.
And seeing him leave, everyone didn't dare to think anymore, and followed one after another.
Office area lobby.
"Tax Collector, Maltz is here."
David, who was sitting in the rest area waiting, turned his head to look after hearing Neeson's reminder, and sure enough, a group of people came out of the passage.
And the person in the lead is none other than the warden Maltz who appears in the file photo.
Soon, the two sides looked at each other, and Maltz said with a smile: "I'm sorry Commissioner David, I have something to deal with just now, and I can only come to see you now." ”
"It's okay Warden Maltz, you are also a good day, and I don't think this kind of 'little thing' needs to be bothered to you."
Maltz was speechless for a while, this is about to tear down their entire prison, can it be called a trivial matter?
Although he thought this in his heart, he replied with a normal face: "Tax Chief David, I heard that you and our Deputy Warden Andrew had a little misunderstanding, and I think we can resolve this matter 'peacefully'. ”
David shook his finger and said, "This is not a small misunderstanding, I'll just say it, Warden Maltz, I don't want to embarrass you, as long as you pay the taxes you should pay, and give me a copy of the real account books of your prison, then I will turn around and leave!" ”
Maltz, who had been looking as usual, instantly turned gloomy after hearing this.
He came to David in person, so that he could make this big thing a small thing.
But David still asks him to call the account book, doesn't that make him die?
Thinking of this, he forcibly held back the anger in his heart and replied: "Tax Chief David, then I will also say it bluntly, the management personnel of our prison are combined, and the amount of black tax generated by this is not a small amount, and we are willing to hand it over to you truthfully, I hope you can raise your hand once!" ”
"Raise your hand? What are you! ”
Before David could reply, Neeson stood up directly and reprimanded mercilessly.
Even the high-ranking officials of the city halls of Sparks and Henderson, plus the supreme state of Stevenson, were all cleaned up by them.
Now a mere warden, dare to let them raise their noble hands?
It's a joke within a joke!
"I'm sorry Warden Maltz, my brothers are rough workers, and they may have a bad temper, and I apologize to you when he waits......"
David was apologizing on the surface, but there was no hint of apology on his expression.
Actually, Nissen's words are also what he wants to say.
It's just that in his current status, this kind of thing is not suitable for him to speak.
Maltz, as the warden of the largest prison in the GCO in Nevada, is a figure at all, and being scolded like this by a small inspector like Neeson almost didn't make him run wild.
But as the so-called dog beating depends on the owner.
After all, this is David's subordinate, and David said the word apology again, so he had to force his anger and replied: "I still say that David tax chief, you can let us pay taxes, but if you pay the account books, this is asking for our lives, hoping to give us a way out." ”
"I'm sorry Warden Maltz, I can't do that, of course, you can choose not to pay it, but I have to remind you first, the account books belong to the GCO, and you are yours!"
With that, David made a gesture to the three Nissenbaki Simmons behind him, and the three of them immediately stepped forward and handed the file bag in their hands to the heads of several sections of the prison.
And these people in charge did not have ink, so they immediately opened it and looked at it, but soon their faces became ugly.
Just as Andrew had told them, David had collected their tricks as well.
"I know that this matter is very important to you, so I am not an unsympathetic person, give you half a day to think, and before 5 o'clock this afternoon, you will give me an answer!"
Leaving this sentence, David left cleanly with Nissenbaki and the others.
At this time, Maltz was already blinded and his face was as dead as ashes.
Although he did not receive the file bag like the others, he knew in his heart that since David could collect the handle of Andrew and his other men, it would be easier to collect the handle of his warden.
And the reason why David didn't do this was to leave him a little dignity and let him make the 'right' choice.
"Warden, what are we going to do?"
"Warden, that David's ruthless methods are obvious to all, if we don't do what he asks, we won't be able to escape!"
"Warden ......"
Prison officials began to panic.
The high-ranking officials of Henderson and Sparks were sentenced to a thousand-year prison sentence because they offended David.
Naturally, they don't want to follow in such footsteps.
Maltz ignored the panicked words of the crowd, but quickly returned to his office, picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Mr. Justin, something is wrong......
Carson City, a branch of the GCO company, hung up the phone, and Justin's face was hard to see.
Yesterday when Maltz was in a meeting here, he knew that David had gone to their prison in the city of Reo.
But he never dreamed that in just one day, the entire GCO prison would usher in such a catastrophe.
And the GCO suffered such a disaster in the largest prison in Nevada, so he is naturally responsible for being the person in charge here.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly called his assistant and instructed: "Prepare a car and go to the FBI office." ”
Half an hour later, the FBI office.
"Mr. Gavin, Mr. Justin, the head of the GCO Nevada, said he wanted to see you."
In the office, Gavin, who heard the reminder from the visitor, was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Then let him come over." ”
A few minutes later, Justin pushed the door open and said, "How is Mr. Gavin, how are you doing?" ”
"It's not good or not, so be it, oh yes Justin, what are you doing with me today?"
"That's Gavin, you've probably heard of David from the IRS, right?"
Because public prisons are under-resourced, many of the prisoners arrested by the FBI are sent to private prisons such as the GCO for processing, so the relationship between the two sides is considered a partnership.
In Justin's opinion, they must not be able to settle this matter, so they wanted to ask the FBI to come forward and see if they could mediate it.
After all, the FBI and the IRS are both law enforcement agencies in the United States, and I think there will be some face-saving between the two sides.
Hearing the words David, Gavin's face, which was originally quite relaxed, suddenly tightened, but then he pretended to be casual and asked, "Of course I've heard of it, what's wrong?" ”
"Here's the thing......"
Justin made it clear that David had set sights on their prison, but he didn't say anything about David's control over the prison administrators.
After listening to the words, Gavin finally understood the reason for the matter, and also understood why Justin found him today.
It turned out that I wanted him to act as a middleman!
However, let alone the GCO prison, they FBI are now under the control of David, where does he dare to be a lobbyist or a middleman?
And he knows best what kind of person and personality David is.
Hindering his tax work, isn't this looking for death?
Thinking of this, Gavin could only excuse himself: "I'm sorry Justin, I don't think I can help you with this matter." ”
Upon hearing this, Justin was stunned on the spot.
They are partners between GCO prisons and the FBI, and in order to make each prison meet the capacity of prisoners, he also sends money and gifts to Gavin every once in a while.
Originally, he thought that although there was some trouble involving the IRS, Gavin should not refuse this favor, but he didn't expect people not only to refuse, but also to refuse so simply!
Justin was a little annoyed, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Gavin, I'll tell you the truth, this David wants the internal account books of our prison, if this account book falls into his hands, we will be in great trouble, you have to help you no matter what, as long as you help me settle it, I can double your share in the future." ”
Gavin shook his head and replied, "Sorry Justin, it's not that I don't want to help, it's really not that I can't help." ”
Seeing that the other party still refused to do it, Justin was completely annoyed, and he said: "Gavin, you should know that if he gets the account books, then the senior management of our company will definitely be angry, and you will be in trouble at that time!" ”
"Don't use your high-level to press me, I said that if I can't control it, I can't control it, whoever likes to control it!"
Gavin also launched a ruthless attack.
If he angers the top management of the GCO, he will have some trouble, but if he angers David, he will immediately have to be laid off, not to mention, and if he doesn't do it, he will be ruined and put in prison.
Which is more important, how can he not choose.
"Good, good, good Gavin, I'll remember this!"
Justin looked hideous, said three good words in a row, and finally stood up and wanted to leave.
But just as he opened the door, Gavin heard another voice behind him.
"Justin, I tell you a word about this, you'd better do what he says, otherwise, it won't end well."
The main reason why Gavin reminded him was that he was afraid that things would really get big and affect their FBI.
After all, the FBI arrests so many prisoners every day, and it would be impossible to accommodate them without these private prisons.
Justin, who was still hideous, softened his expression slightly after hearing this, because he heard that Gavin's words seemed to contain some mystery.
Some time ago, it was said that the FBI and the IRS had a bit of a conflict.
Could it be that Gavin is reluctant to help now because of this?
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure it out, but he didn't have time to think about it anymore, because according to the news from the prison, David only gave him a deadline of five o'clock this afternoon.
He quickly walked downstairs to his car and said to his assistant driver, "Go to the state government." ”
Arriving at the state government, Justin immediately went straight to the state attorney general's office.
Like the FBI, their GCO company also cooperates with the state inspection and judicial departments, so after talking to Gavin, he can only go to officials like the state attorney general to see if he can come forward to mediate with the IRS.
But half an hour later, he walked out of the state attorney general's office dejectedly, and finally punched the wall three times and cursed incessantly.
Like Gavin before him, the state attorney general, regardless of what he said and promised all kinds of benefits, just refused to come forward to mediate.
This made him angry and at the same time really incomprehensible.
Yes, the IRS is very powerful, and David is also terrifying, but it is not enough to make a state's FBI boss and attorney general instigated to such a point, right?
Of course, this is also the fact that Justin doesn't know the inside story of the new governor Laurie's arrival, and what happened before the FBI, otherwise he wouldn't have been so confused.
Little by little, the clock ticked by until four o'clock in the afternoon.
The GCO prison in Ryo, the warden's office, Maltz and Andrew, and the heads of the districts, are all waiting for news.
But as the deadline of five o'clock drew closer, their minds became more and more restless.
Finally, the person in charge of Prison Area B couldn't hold his breath, he said: "It's all this time, there is no news from Justin's side, it seems that this matter is not settled, I think we should make plans early......"
As soon as these words came out, several people in other districts, including Andrew, became agitated.
Now there are two choices before them.
1. Hand over the prison's internal account books.
But this will certainly cause the wrath of the company's top brass, who will no longer be able to serve as prison administrators, and may face reprisals from the company.
2. The account books are not paid, and Davy and the IRS hard steel go down.
But in that case, they will be arrested by the IRS, and they may even be sent to court tomorrow, frozen their assets, sentenced to death, and thrown to prison, leaving them with no personal wealth.
And if they had to choose, almost everyone in the room would rather choose 1 than 2.
The reason is simple, they have made enough money over the years, even if they no longer serve as prison administrators, plus the amount of tax paid to the IRS on their illegal gains, it will be enough to spend the rest of their lives.
Even if they will be retaliated against by the GCO, they can't rob them all their money and kill them all, right?
But if you choose 2, not only will the money you make be punished by the IRS several times, and you may even be confiscated directly, but you will also have to go to jail for the rest of your life.
These two choices, everyone present is not stupid, how can they not weigh the pros and cons.
"Warden, we're a big deal...... If it's a big deal, I won't do it, there's no need to fight with the IRS and David. ”
"Yes, Warden, the company belongs to their high-level leaders, but the money and freedom are our own, and we can't carry it for them......"
“……”
In the face of the verbal offensive of the crowd, it was impossible for Maltz not to waver.
But at this moment, the phone rang, and he could only answer: "I'm Maltz." ”
"Maltz, don't be impulsive yet, I'm trying to figure out a way to solve it, first find a way to delay, don't really compromise......"
It was Justin's voice on the other end of the line.
"Mr. Justin, he gave the deadline for 5 o'clock, and now it's almost 5 o'clock, I don't know how else to delay......"
"Think of a way Maltz, you'll be doomed if you hand us over ......"
"Mr. Maltz, if I don't pay it, we'll be even more finished!"
"But ......"
"Don't talk about Mr. Justin, know the current affairs for Junjie, whether it's you or us, there is no need to be a substitute for the company!"
"This ...... Alas......"
Justin on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly, and finally hung up the phone directly.
"Go, keep a count of your districts!"
Here, Maltz also made a decision with a heart.
Hearing his words, Andrew and the heads of the districts were also relieved and left quickly.
Shawan Branch.
"You say, they won't really dare not pay, right?"
"I don't believe they're that loyal to GCO and even willing to be a substitute for them."
"I don't believe it either, the GCO company is not their family, but any normal person will choose to protect himself."
As the time came to 5 o'clock, the three Simmons Bakinison who were in the temporary office were also constantly talking.
And at this moment, the landline phone on the desktop rang, and David picked it up and said, "I'm David." ”
"Tax Commissioner David, Deputy Warden Andrew of GCO Prison said he was looking for you."
"Then bring him to my office!"
David smiled, did he finally compromise?
But that's to be expected.
