Chapter 201: Personnel transfer of the Western Suburbs Branch
The time was approaching three o'clock, and a large number of media reporters had gathered in the hall on the first floor of the General Administration.
When David was elected, they didn't get an accurate result in their questioning, but they had a hunch that they would definitely receive news about Hollywood at today's press conference held here at the General Headquarters.
And this news, even quite possibly, will be a bombshell!
"Here they come, here they come!"
Under the expectation of everyone, I don't know who shouted in the field, and then the big guys looked up at the front in unison, and sure enough, the staff of the General Bureau led by Obadia came over.
When he came to the scene, Obadiah took the lead in the stage, adjusted the microphone, and said: "Hello friends from the media and viewers who are following the IRS news, I'm Obadiah. ”
"Thank you for your interest in our IRS God-making program, and as you know, the candidate has been chosen, Mr. David from the Las Vegas Lake District Office."
"Next, let our David come to the stage and give you a brief answer to the main direction and deployment of the jurisdiction after taking office!"
When the words fell, it was David's turn to become nervous.
This is different from yesterday's interview in front of the Lake District Bureau, and although his election yesterday was also very shocking, it was not to the point of attracting the attention of the whole United States.
But after the subsequent publicity of the IRS, as well as the fermentation of public opinion generated by Hollywood, and the fact that he was at the press conference held here at the General Administration, not only is a large number of people paying attention to him now, but the White House is watching his live broadcast, who can not be nervous.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, and tidied up his clothes again, then slowly walked to the front of the stage and said, "Hello everyone, I'm David, and I'm honored to be elected as the director of the God-making Project this time and promoted to the director of the Los Angeles Western Suburbs Bureau." ”
"I know that because the geographical location of the Western Suburbs Branch is a bit special, this point has also attracted a lot of attention, and next, I will talk about the deployment after I take office."
"First of all, as you know, our IRS introduced the black tax bill on December 3 last year, and after I take office, I will mobilize all the inspectors to give the jurisdiction a 'big cleaning', and I will let these criminals hide until they pay every cent of the tax on their illegal income......
"Excuse me to interrupt Director David!"
At this moment, an NBC reporter raised his hand to interrupt David's words and asked: "What I want to ask is, as far as I know, you have generated 219 million taxes in this assessment period, if you go to the director of the Western Suburbs Branch, how much tax revenue are you confident to generate during the first assessment period?" ”
David paused and replied: "I dare not say more, but since I can collect 219 million taxes in the Lake District Bureau, it will only be more and not less in the Western Suburbs Bureau." ”
As soon as these words came out, no one noticed that a smile flashed at the corner of the mouths of Lahan and the others below.
When they were in the conference room before, they also gave David this set, and now David actually promised it in front of the media, so when this assessment period can't fulfill this promise, then they will have more reason to use the topic to play!
"Tax Commissioner David, what about Hollywood, do you have any targeted policies since you took office?"
That's when the New York Times reporter spoke up.
And his question is also what most of the media and viewers want to know at present.
"If you want to say anything about targeted policies, then I will not have, nor will I specifically target anyone or industry, I am only targeting people and industries suspected of tax evasion, in short, who is suspected of tax evasion, then I will target whom!"
When the words fell, the reporter of the Wall Street Journal immediately asked: "Director David, as far as I know, the former director of the Western Suburbs Bureau, Vivian, has not taken much action against Hollywood during his tenure, will there be large-scale action after you take office?" ”
"Of course."
As soon as these words came out, the scene began to be in an uproar, and the audience who was watching the live broadcast also became interested.
Although David did not say that he would make targeted policy arrangements for Hollywood, he has now confirmed that he will definitely take large-scale action against Hollywood after taking office.
As long as the IRS is going to take large-scale action against Hollywood, it is destined that the place will not be as calm as it used to be.
"Director David, there are thousands of film production companies and related enterprises in Hollywood, as well as tens of thousands of people engaged in the film and television industry, not to mention that you will launch a large-scale operation here after you take office, even if it is a small tax rate policy of yours, it may affect the interests of tens of thousands of people, are you not afraid that it will cause a backlash?"
This time the reporter of the Wall Street Journal spoke out.
Hearing this, David frowned slightly, because he had already heard that the other party was digging a hole for him.
But now it's a live broadcast, and it's definitely not okay if he doesn't answer.
So how to answer it?
After thinking for about 10 seconds, David seemed to think of something, and suddenly changed his mind and said, "That's a good question, but I'm going to make a digression here, have you ever heard of the city of Detroit?" ”
The Wall Street Journal reporter was a little confused when he heard this, but replied: "I've heard that the city's government has been in a bad situation since it declared bankruptcy in 2013. ”
"That's right, the city is terrible right now, according to statistics, there are thousands of homeless people in the city now, and the homeless people who die of starvation, freezing, and disease every week, sometimes even up to hundreds, have you ever wondered what the root cause of this is?"
The Wall Street Journal pondered for a moment, then replied: "I think the main reason is the ruined economy and the high unemployment rate. ”
David stretched out his finger and shook it, and then said: "This is the reason, but not the main reason, the main reason is that the local finance can't issue relief, according to the past, although everyone can not receive much, but at least to ensure that they are not starved to death, frozen to death, it is still possible." ”
No one objected to this statement, either on the spot or on the Internet.
When the U.S. Treasury set up the relief fund, it analyzed various data based on the fact that a person receives $400 a week.
Although this money will not allow everyone to live a decent life, it will certainly not starve to death and freeze to death.
"Okay, didn't you just ask me that my actions and policy instructions after taking office may affect the interests of many people in Hollywood?"
"Then I can tell you right now, if I can receive an extra 10 million in taxes in Hollywood, and our treasury will have 10 million more funds at our disposal, and this 10 million can be distributed to Detroit, so that those who might otherwise freeze and starve to death can save their lives."
"So do you think I'm going to take care of the interests of those people in Hollywood, or do I mean watching the people in Detroit who had a chance to live die?"
The words fell, and the scene was silent.
At the scene, they finally knew why David was talking about the city of Detroit and the homeless people who were freezing and starving.
And here, Obadia Donald and the others at this time couldn't wait to cheer loudly on the spot after hearing David's words.
Human life is at stake, and it's the same everywhere.
Although in the eyes of some powerful people, the lives of civilians are not worth mentioning, but this kind of thing can only be regarded as well known, if you stand in front of the public and dare to say such things, even if you are the president, you will step down in minutes.
And now that David is linking taxes to the lives of those homeless people in Detroit, he first grasps the commanding heights of morality and grasps the righteousness in his hands!
And if you Hollywood dare to resist or hinder taxes, you are standing on the opposite side of the people, that is, you don't care about the life and death of those homeless people like Detroit!
And Hollywood is just a metaphor, and David's words can actually be regarded as indirectly boosting the morale of the major bureaus across the country.
Tell them that we are checking taxes to save the country and the people, just let go and do it, and see who dares to come out and stop it!
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Obadiah took the lead in applauding, and although Lahan and the others were a little unhappy in their hearts, they could only applaud against their will when they saw that the director had taken the lead.
At the same time, David's speech was also applauded on the Internet.
"That's a good point, compared to human life, the interests of that group of people in Hollywood are a chicken feather!"
"Director David just used Detroit as an analogy, in fact, as he said, if you charge an extra 10 million in taxes, there may be a lot of homeless people who can receive relief funds, and they will not starve to death and freeze to death, and if you receive an extra 1 billion, it can be used to improve our medical care and people's livelihood, so I support it!"
"Although I don't have to receive benefits now, I can't guarantee that one day I won't end up in this situation, and I don't want to be in that situation when I get to that point, it's too desperate, so I have to support Director David and the national inspectors in their tax work!"
Although the United States is the most developed country in the world, most of the people here are just ordinary people, and they are certainly aware of the importance of taxes.
And many of them may not need such a thing as a pension, but no one can guarantee that they will not need it one day.
So expressing support for David now, in a way, is also to reserve a way out for them in the future.
When the whole network was still hotly discussed, at the press conference, the reporters who came back to their senses continued to ask questions.
It wasn't until it came to 4.30 that Davy's mouth was dry, and after receiving Obadiah's signal, he could be considered to announce the end of the conference.
After it was over, Lahan and the others immediately turned and left.
Obadiah and Donald ignored them, and met Davy and complimented, "You answered very well David." ”
"Yes, with these words as a foreshadowing, it will be much easier for you to take office!"
Donald also complimented.
To be honest, before the press conference, he was still worried that something would go wrong with David, after all, he was still very clear about the ability of the American media to dig holes.
Not to mention such a rising star as David, even those old fritters who have been in the political arena for decades are not a few who have been overturned in front of these media.
But what made him feel fortunate was that this time David not only did not get caught in by these media and overturned, but also used the topic and metaphor of the Detroit homeless to win another layer of support for their IRS's tax legitimacy.
"Awarded to Director Obadia and Deputy Director Donald."
"Okay, today you have been traveling for so long, and you have been debriefing with us for so long, I will ask Leticia to take you to the hotel that has been arranged."
"Okay."
David said goodbye to Donald and Obadiah, and then left with Leticia.
……
Overall, today's press conference was able to satisfy the media.
Because they have confirmed the problem that after David takes office, he will definitely take a large-scale tax clearance action against Hollywood.
Although this cannot be said to have caused a major earthquake in Hollywood, the shock will certainly not be small.
Hollywood, the central area of the Walk of Fame, is home to the headquarters of many studios.
At this time, the Disney Film Company Building, which is the eight major film companies, welcomed representatives from the other seven major film companies in the conference room on the top floor.
After everyone arrived and took their seats, Okanji, the vice president of Disney Films, said loudly: "I believe you also know about the IRS press conference, what do you think?" ”
"Even the director has changed, the IRS seems to be menacing this time, we have to be careful!"
"The IRS is definitely going to take it seriously, but don't worry too much, our company's finance, accounting, and tax departments are not vegetarians, and they can't find anything."
"That's right, if it was so easy to check, the Western Suburbs Branch would have found out a long time ago."
The eight major film companies were all established in the last century, and many laws and tax laws were not perfect in the last century, so they all took advantage of loopholes to gradually start at that time.
In the 21st century, although they do not dare to blatantly evade taxes, money laundering and other operations like in the previous century, there are still many violations of the law.
"By the way, does anyone know what the new director is, I look so young!"
At this moment, the representative of Mi Nami Film Company asked.
Because the winner of the god-making project was only announced yesterday, and it wasn't until the press conference just now that he really paid attention to David, so he didn't know the information about the new director.
Okanji said: "Two months ago, this person was just an inspector of the Internal Revenue Bureau, and then he relied on being armed to enter the Indian tribe on a hot search, and then he also punished several high-ranking officials in Sparks and Henderson, which also set off a lot of storms at that time, and finally in this round of assessment period, he finally won the promotion of the Western Suburbs Branch with a total tax performance of 219 million. ”
When the words fell, many representatives at the scene were stunned.
They didn't pay attention to the IRS system before, so a lot of people didn't know about the armed invasion of the Indian tribes, and they didn't know about Sparks and Henderson.
But now that I hear it, does the new director have such a strong history?
That doesn't seem to be the case that easy to deal with.
"Then it seems that the IRS will not only move such a ruthless tax commissioner, but may turn us upside down!"
"Listening to Okanji, this David is a bit difficult to handle."
"You say, if this guy had entered the Indian tribe with an armed force before, wouldn't he have brought him into our Hollywood with an arm when he came to us?"
Hearing that he was armed into Hollywood, everyone present suddenly felt a tingling in their scalps.
They are here in Hollywood, and their every move is the world's attention, and if the IRS really rushes into it, then the whole world will not have to explode.
When the time comes, they won't make any movies, just this traffic gimmick will make a lot of money.
But if that's the case, then their eight major film companies will probably become a joke.
"What are you kidding, those barbarians of the Indian tribes have violated the bottom line of the IRS, and there is not enough attention there, such a thing cannot happen here in Hollywood!"
Okanji's words calmed everyone's minds.
Yes, the total output value of the cultural and creative industries represented by Hollywood has exceeded the 500 billion mark, accounting for about 3% of the total GDP of the United States.
How could the IRS dare to rush in with arms, and when the time comes, it will be a small matter to destroy the facilities in Hollywood, and if this golden sign is smashed, the IRS will not be able to eat and walk around.
"I don't think there's a need to worry so much now, then David said at the press conference that he was going to launch a large-scale operation against us, that is, the new officials took office three fires, as Lucas said before, as long as we all get the number of books right, what can be the problem?"
"That's right, after all, he has just taken office, and he still has to say beautiful things."
“……”
"That's it!"
Okanji interrupted everyone's words and said, "Since everyone doesn't think there is any problem, let's take care of our own accounts and tax situation, by the way, the stock market will definitely fluctuate tomorrow, and everyone will take a steady step when the time comes." ”
The IRS has issued a thorough tax review of Hollywood, and according to the laws of the market, the stock market will definitely be turbulent.
So today, Okanji brought representatives of several major film companies over to discuss his views on the appointment of the new director David is one of the first, and the other is mainly to let the major film companies unite and not let the stock prices of their respective companies lose too much when the market opens tomorrow.
……
After dinner, he returned to his room and took out the information that Donald had given him about the Western Suburbs Bureau today.
Due to the large size of the Western Suburbs Bureau, it is not like the Lake District Bureau, there is only one director and one deputy director, and there are two deputy directors here, one of whom has been transferred because he is a confidant of the former director Wei Wei'an.
The other deputy director, Muriel Dic, is currently taking over the affairs of the Western Suburbs Branch.
In addition, there are four tax inspectors and 20 inspection teams, which means that there are 20 tax collectors.
As time passed, after some scrutiny, David suddenly became speechless.
In the last assessment period, the western suburbs branch only had a total tax performance of 60 million, and in the last assessment period, it was only 40 million.
You must know that the Western Suburbs Branch is a branch in Los Angeles, sitting on the resources of such a large region, and only receiving such a small amount of tax per assessment period, which cannot be said to be shabby, it is simply outrageous.
Of course, the reason why the tax performance is so dismal is that the former director Wei Wei'an naturally has to bear the main responsibility, and the other tax inspectors, deputy tax inspectors, and tax commissioners also have to bear leadership responsibilities.
David began to carefully examine the information of these people, and he decided to kick out the Western Suburbs Branch for the corpses among them!
Soon, David circled the names of seven tax collectors, as well as two deputy tax inspectors and one tax inspector.
These seven tax collectors are the least capable of the Western Suburbs Branch, and after kicking them out, it is just time for Nissen and them to take over.
And the ability of two of them is also very poor, and after kicking them out, they also need to find some qualified people to take over.
David turned on his laptop and prepared to go to the intranet to take a good look at who was suitable for transfer across the country.
But suddenly, a person's name flashed through his mind, and then his expression took on a bit of amusement, and finally he took out his phone and began to flip through the address book.
Meanwhile, the city of Detroit.
As the largest city in Michigan, Detroit was once the world's largest automobile city, but unfortunately, with the decline of the American automobile industry and the loss of the city's population, Detroit is facing economic recession and social problems, and after the government declared bankruptcy in 2013, the city is now a chicken feather.
At this time, it was located in a bungalow on the edge of the Detroit River at the southern end of the city.
A man was sitting on the edge of the doorway, staring blankly at the calm river.
"Lewis, dinner is ready, come in and eat."
"I'm not hungry Debra, eat it yourself!"
It was none other than Lewis, who had been transferred here from the Lake District Bureau two months ago as deputy tax inspector.
When he was in the Lake District Bureau, he knew that David was definitely not a thing in the pool, and his future career would definitely not be limited to such a small branch as the Lake District Bureau.
But what he didn't expect was that David would actually make an armed attack on the Indian tribes, and then what happened in Henderson and Sparks shocked him again.
But what shocked him the most was that during this round of evaluation, David actually fought his way out of so many regional candidates across the country and directly got the opportunity to be transferred to the West Suburbs of Los Angeles Branch.
That's the western suburbs of Los Angeles!
And you must know that more than two months ago, David was just an inspector under him, and now the identities of the two have suddenly become very different.
How could this not make Lewis feel mixed in his heart.
