Chapter 200: Meet the top of the General Administration

Early the next morning, after everything had been settled, David arrived at the airport with his belongings and boarded his flight to Washington.

Las Vegas is more than 3,800 kilometers from Washington, D.C., and after a five-hour flight, planes finally entered the skies over the city.

Looking down through the window, the whole city looks like a brilliant jewel set in an emerald green canvas, and in the distance, the sparkling lakes and rivers are like silver ribbons, connecting all corners of the city like meridians

As the height of the plane gradually decreased, the appearance of the urban area of Washington was gradually revealed, with high-rise buildings scattered and streets criss-crossed, and the whole city appeared to be in order.

One particularly prominent place in the city is the Washington Monument, a towering white marble building that glistens in the sun and was built in honor of George Washington, the first president of the United States, and is one of the country's most iconic landmarks.

In addition to the Washington Monument, you can also see the outline of the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, Capitol Hill and many other famous attractions, these buildings have their own characteristics, some solemn and solemn, some majestic, some exquisite and elegant, together constitute the unique urban style of Washington.

"Is this Washington......?"

Looking at this capital city that has gathered countless high-ranking officials and elites and represents the heart of America, David's thoughts are also a little emotional.

"Hello dear passengers, the plane is about to land at Dulles International Airport, please be ready to ......"

About ten minutes after the announcement, the plane's pulleys began to make contact with the runway, taxied for some distance and slowly came to a stop.

The door opened, and the passengers stepped out of the cabin one by one, and David was among them, making his way to the airport hall and seeing a woman holding a sign with his name.

And this woman also saw it for the first time, and immediately greeted her and introduced herself: "Hello Director David, I was sent by the General Administration to pick you up, my name is Leticia." ”

"Hello Leticia."

"Please follow me."

Leticia took David to the underground parking lot, got into a BMW 5 Series, and headed towards the city.

"That's right, I'll take you to take a set of propaganda photos first, and then go back to the General Administration to meet the director of the General Bureau, and at 3 o'clock, a media conference will be held in the hall of the General Bureau......

Leticia was driving the car while explaining to David what he needed to do and the process today, and David also agreed again and again.

More than half an hour later, the two came to the downstairs of a skyscraper in the city.

According to Leticia, on the 20th floor of this building, there is a studio dedicated to making promotional photos for celebrities, high-ranking officials, parliamentarians, governors, and presidential candidates, and his promotional photos will also be filmed and produced in this studio.

After more than an hour of shooting, David finally completed the process of promotional photos, and then Leticia drove him in the direction of the General Bureau.

The IRS General Office is located on Constitution Boulevard, and after a twenty-minute drive, Leticia's car pulled up in the parking space in front of the door.

After getting off the bus, seeing this majestic and solemn General Administration building, David was also a little excited in his heart at this moment.

This is a place that the country's 140,000 inspectors, including all tax collectors, tax inspectors, and sub-bureau chiefs, have dreamed of coming to!

And he was also here for the first time.

But unfortunately, he only came to participate in the election ceremony and debriefing, and was not directly transferred to this power center.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he arrives at his western suburbs branch and makes a tax performance contribution that satisfies the top management here, I believe it will be a matter of time before he enters here!

"Come in, Chief David."

Following in Leticia's footsteps, David walked all the way through the gates of the General Headquarters, but as soon as he stepped through the door, he was drawn to the portraits of Lincoln on the wall, portraits of past commissioners, and inspectors who had made special contributions to the IRS.

"Don't envy Director David, when you retire, your portrait will also be able to hang on it."

Leticia's words stunned David, who was full of thoughts, and he pointed to his nose and asked, "My portrait can also be hung?" ”

"Of course, you are the hero of our IRS arms reappearance in front of the world after the 21st century, and you are also the winner of the god-making project, both of which can undoubtedly be recorded in the history of our IRS, and you must have a place for the recognition here."

Hearing Leticia's words, David suddenly reacted.

Yes, the portrait wall here is dedicated to the people who have made special contributions to the IRS, and whether he is leading the armed operation or being selected for the God-making Project, it is definitely a special contribution.

But then again, it is indeed majestic that your portrait can be hung here and admired by countless inspectors, but it can not be hung until you retire, which is especially like crowning you with honor when you die, which is somewhat tasteless.

Thinking about this, he asked, "Leticia, is there a precedent for hanging a portrait here without retirement or sacrifice?" ”

Leticia glanced at David with a meaningful look, then approached the portrait wall, pointed to the portrait of one of the men, and said, "Bunian Wifred, I think you must have heard of it, he went undercover under Al Capone for three years before he found the tax evasion books of the underground emperor and sent him to prison, and at the same time, like you, let our armament be majestic in the world for once. ”

"Because the sacrifice and contribution he made was so great, in recognition of him, his portrait was hung here after the case was over, and he is the only one in our IRS who can hang his portrait here without retirement and sacrifice."

David was silent, if it were someone else, he might be able to make a good comparison, but when it came to Al Capone's case, he couldn't afford to compare.

Don't look at the fact that he entered the Indian tribes with arms is very majestic and shocking to the world, but in fact, if you really compare it, it will definitely not be comparable to Al Capone in the last century.

First of all, the Indian tribe he was dealing with was a fundamental existence in the whole of America.

Therefore, his main contribution this time was mainly to find a reasonable and legal excuse to restore the authority of the IRS armed again.

And Al Capone, who was the underground emperor of the United States in the last century, was even a target ordered by the president, the FBI, the Department of Justice and many other departments.

But in the end, the president and the major departments couldn't do anything about him.

In the end, in desperation, that is, the IRS came out of the horse, and the invincible underground emperor was singled out, which surprised the president, major departments and the American people.

It can be said that Lincoln gave the IRS the basis of armed power, but it was actually the Al Capone incident that really made the IRS famous and terrified the whole of America.

And the Indian armed action after Davy is, in a sense, just the icing on the cake.

Therefore, in this comparison, this Bunian Wifleder can be before retirement and sacrifice; A portrait of a person is hung here to be admired, but he can't, which is normal.

"Okay, Director David, they're waiting for us upstairs, so they'd better go up first."

"Okay."

Leticia walked into the elevator with David and pressed the button on the top floor.

Soon, the elevator came to the top floor.

And the moment the elevator door opened, a burst of warm applause rang out, which made David, who was in the elevator, stunned for a moment.

When he came back to his senses and looked up, he saw that in the hall outside, there were already many people gathered, although these people he had only met for the first time, they were not strangers.

Among them, the director of the General Administration, Obadia, the deputy director of Donner, who is in charge of the black tax bill, and the chief adviser Vertonghen, are all here.

"Director Davy......"

On the side, Leticia reminded in a low voice, and David came to his senses, and under the gaze of many bigwigs, it must be false to say that he was not nervous, and then, he pretended to be calm and walked out of the elevator.

And here, Donald was also the first to greet him, stretched out his hand and said, "David, congratulations on your election to the God-making Project." ”

"Thank you."

"Come, I'll introduce you."

Donald first took David to Obadia's side and introduced, "This is our chief Obadia. ”

"Hello Director Obadia."

"Congratulations, David."

"This is our chief advisor, Vertonghen."

"Congratulations."

"This is our special agent, Turs Cizer."

"Congratulations on your election to David, I'm optimistic about you."

"It's ......"

“……”

With Donald's introduction, David also shook hands with many high-level officials one by one with a modest attitude, but Obadiah and Turs Cizer were okay, and they were enthusiastic about his arrival and election, but Vertonghen and Lahan were cold.

But David wasn't surprised.

Because he had already received the news that Vertonghen and Rahan were all supporters of Brown.

And now he is elected, which is equivalent to slapping these people in the face, and it is strange that these people can give him a good face.

"Director, this is a gift from Mr. President."

Just as the two sides were about to move on to the next step, a man approached Obadiah and David with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Hearing that it was sent by the president, David's face was also tense, and then he turned his head to stare at the bouquet of flowers, only to see that there was a greeting card on it.

If you look closely, the tagline reads, 'Congratulations to IRS Mr. David on his election to the God-Making Project.'"

When he saw this string of slogans, David's heart set off a lot of waves at this moment.

Serena had told him before she came that the White House was not satisfied with the tax revenue from the Black Tax Act, which put pressure on the top of the General Administration.

And now that he has been elected, even the president has sent flowers and greeting cards, which seems to confirm Serena's claim.

It seems that with this election, he is really about to enter the eyes of the White House.

For a moment, David's pressure gradually increased.

"Let's help Director David put it over there first."

"Okay."

Hearing Obadia's precinct, the staff member answered, walked to a table on the right, and placed the flowers on it.

And David found out that in addition to the bouquet of flowers and greeting cards sent by the president, there were more than a dozen bouquets on the table.

"In addition to Mr. President, the Department of Justice, the Department of the Treasury Department, the FBI, and ...... All of these departments have sent flowers and greeting cards to congratulate you on your election. ”

David was stunned, but quickly reacted, these departments seemed to be congratulating him, but in fact they were mainly trying to save face for the IRS, and then he replied: "Then please thank them for me." ”

Obadiah nodded, and then said, "Okay, then let's go to the conference room first and listen to your debriefing." ”

"Okay."

After arriving at the conference room and taking their seats, Obadiah spoke, "David, let's start with the Indian tribes." ”

David took out the documents he had sorted out and brought over, and then spoke: "The case of the Indian tribe mainly starts with Dieter, the first offender in it......

In the time that followed, David elaborated on the case of the Indian tribes, then on to other cases involving large sums of money, and finally some details of the case of Sparks, the City of Henderson, and the GCO.

Seeing that the debriefing work and the words were almost over, at this time Lahan said loudly: "First of all, I want to praise you David, you have done a good job in these cases and generated a lot of tax revenue for our IRS, but secondly, I must remind you that Las Vegas, and even Nevada, cannot compare to Los Angeles, and after you go there, you must not easily make things like Henderson, Sparks, and the former Governor Stevenson!" ”

"Deputy Chief Lahan is right, although the officials of Henderson and Sparks, and Governor Stevenson are not doing it right, but fortunately, Nevada's influence is not enough, and now you go to one of the most important states in our country, and you can't be as high-profile as you are in Nevada."

"California is too important, his move involves the whole country, not to mention the resignation of the governor, even if a deputy mayor of Los Angeles steps down, this will definitely put our IRS into a huge public opinion, Tax Chief David, you have to control your temper!"

Listening to the yin and yang remarks of the Brown supporters, Davy frowned slightly, of course he knew that these people were giving him a bad shot.

But before he could speak, Donald stood up first: "What do you call it, even if California is important, as long as it involves tax evasion, then we will investigate it to the end!" ”

"Deputy Chief Donald is right, what are we transferring David to Los Angeles for? In order to bring up the tax, it is necessary to raise the tax but not to be high-profile, how can there be such a good thing! ”

"Who do we need to be afraid of in the IRS, what about California, even here in Washington, as long as someone is involved in tax evasion, then we are as big as we are!"

“……”

Listening to the crowd led by Donald supporting him, David's heart was also secretly relieved.

At this time, Obadiah also spoke: "Okay, things in California depend on the situation, both tax audits and not high-profile, this is not realistic, not to mention that we are now going to build momentum for Davy, who was elected to the god-making project, with so much spotlight, low-key is not in line with our main theme." ”

Hearing the general director's words of support for David, where did Lahan and the others dare to refute, they could only set their eyes on Vertonghen.

Vertonghen, however, was silent and did not intend to get involved in the topic.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Obadiah looked at David and said, "Next, I will explain to you the general policy of our General Administration for the Western Suburbs Branch, that is, your jurisdiction. ”

As soon as he heard this, David's face immediately became serious, and when he was elected and learned that the jurisdiction was the Western Suburbs Branch, he was constantly guessing the intentions of the General Bureau.

But speculation is just speculation, and the specifics will have to be listened to now to be completely confirmed.

"In recent years, the film and television industry has been the hardest hit area of money laundering, especially in Hollywood, this phenomenon is more frequent, in addition, major film companies and their star artists, after investigation, there are also various ways to evade taxes in yin and yang contracts, so let you go this time, is to be ready to check this situation......"

After hearing this, David fell into deep thought.

Although on the surface, Obadiah said that he should look into the money laundering and yin and yang contracts.

But in fact, if you can use channels like Hollywood to launder money, how can this be an ordinary force?

And if he wants to investigate, then he will definitely have to fight with the 8 major film companies.

And these 8 major film companies all have their own capital support behind them.

It seems that what Serena said to him yesterday can now be confirmed, and these high-level officials of the General Administration really want to cut some flesh off the capital in order to complete the pressure exerted by the White House.

And now this Hollywood is a test point for the top management of the General Administration for capital!

"David, you can handle such a difficult case as the Indian tribe and the GCO company, and I believe that Hollywood will not be difficult for you, right?"

Lahan's yin and yang strange voice came out again.

And after him, another senior member of the Brown support faction also spoke up: "Yes, this group of Hollywood people is much easier to talk to than the group of vicious criminals and the barbarians of the Indian tribes, I want them to pay their taxes obediently, which must not be difficult for you David." ”

"Director David, originally we didn't plan to transfer you to a super city like Los Angeles, but now you are transferred out of the ordinary, you must not let us down, and don't be like the former director Wei Wei'an, sitting on a district with such huge resources, and the tax performance of tens of millions in each assessment period."

On the surface, these people were praising him and reminding them not to live up to their painstaking efforts, but David couldn't hear the meaning between the words.

It's nothing more than setting up a fiag for him first, and then attacking him when he can't complete the task of collecting taxes, or when the amount of tax is not enough.

He immediately replied confidently: "Don't worry, I can record a tax amount of more than 200 million in a single assessment period in Nevada, and after I go to the Western Suburbs Branch, it will only be more, not less!" ”

"Okay, well, since Director David said so, then we are much more relieved!"

Lahan and the others didn't expect David to fall into the trap so easily, and they were also happy in their hearts.

As they thought, since David has boasted of such a Haikou now, if they can't achieve this goal after taking office, then they can use the topic to play!

Donald and the others on the side frowned, but David had already spoken, and they couldn't say anything more.

"Of course, in addition to Hollywood, other industries in the western suburbs also have a large economic scale, and you also need to trace the illegal transactions and taxes generated in this area, as well as ......."

In the following time, Obadiah explained all the guidelines and policies that had been planned.

After confirming that David was okay and understood, he announced: "Okay, adjourn the meeting, and David, you can prepare, there will be a media conference at three o'clock, and then you can briefly reveal to the media the general direction after you take office." ”

"Okay Director."

As soon as David's answer fell, Obadiah immediately stood up and left, followed by the rest of Vertonghen, Lahan and others.

"Come with me, David."

Hearing Donald's call, David immediately stood up and followed him all the way back to his office.

"Sit down."

After motioning for David to sit down, Donald also came to his chair and sat down, but his face was pulled: "David, you shouldn't have said that after you go to the Western Suburbs Bureau, the tax will only be much more than that in the Lake District Bureau." ”

He knew that the main reason why David was able to get so much tax revenue in the Lake District Bureau was because he was familiar with the territory, and he also used the Indian tribe, Sparks, and Henderson to establish his authority, plus Stevenson, so that the tax work could go so smoothly.

But now I am in the strange place of the Western Suburbs Branch, let alone Liwei, and I am not even familiar with the environment of the jurisdiction.

If this goal is not accomplished, the group of Narakhan will not have to jump?

Don't look at the dust that the god-making plan has settled now, but since David is a candidate from his Donald's side, Lahan and these people will definitely spare no effort to suppress him in order to prevent him from becoming more powerful.

"Don't worry, Deputy Chief Donald, since I say this, I am absolutely confident!"

Whether it can be done with Hollywood Now David doesn't dare to say, after all, there are all kinds of capital rampant there, and there must be some resistance to them.

But Hollywood is not the only area under the jurisdiction of the Western Suburbs Bureau.

In fact, in a megacity like Los Angeles, the tax revenue generated by criminal activity in any of the several districts would not be a small amount.

And David is now the head of the first bureau, and the resources and power he has in his hands plus a bug like the golden finger, after he takes office, he wants to squeeze out more than 200 million taxes from that group of criminals, which is basically a sure thing.

Seeing David's confident look, Donald's tense face relaxed a little, and then said: "Obadiah had something to say just now that it was not good to say in front of so many people, and now I will explain it again." ”

David looked deaf.

"There is a lot of tax evasion in Hollywood, and that's why we have a bad past, but it's not the main reason."

"I'll tell you the truth, not long ago, the president expressed to us at the IRS that we were dissatisfied with the work of the black tax bill, so we have to do something."

"And this time you will be transferred to the Western Suburbs Branch...... I don't want to put too much pressure on you, but it's something that can't be helped. ”

"In short, you have to do everything you can to get more tax revenues in your hands, but here I can promise you, don't be too high-profile and you just listen to what Lahan's group says, as long as you can get more taxes, even if you overturn Hollywood, I and Director Obadiah will endorse you!"

Listening to Donald's words, David secretly said in his heart.

So far, Serena has been right with what she's told him.

It seems that the United States' finances are really in difficulty, otherwise the president would not have put so much pressure on the top management of the General Administration.

But then again, David was still a little jealous of the capital power of the eight major film companies in Hollywood, but now that Donald and Obadiah promised to endorse him, he can rest assured that he can do it!

Thinking of this, David replied: "Okay, since Deputy Director Donald has said so, then I will definitely do my best after I take office." ”

Donald bowed his head, took out a document from the folder on the desktop and put it in front of David, and said: "This is the current personnel situation of the Western Suburbs Branch, the backbone left by the previous director has been almost cleaned up by me, you see if there are any people who need to be cleaned up, before you arrive, our General Bureau will clean it up for you." ”

Hearing this, David's heart warmed, if he came to clean up these people when he arrived, he would definitely have to bear a little notoriety, but if it was operated by the General Bureau, he would not have to bear this notoriety, but he didn't expect Donald to even think about this for him.

"There's no rush for this, you can go back tonight and study it slowly, anyway, according to the deployment of the General Bureau, you will not go to Los Angeles until the day after tomorrow."

"Understood."
