Chapter 225: The Strongest Legal Department on the Surface

In the seats below, a group of movie stars who were invited to come had just wanted to get up and leave, but suddenly, a large number of people rushed in from outside the door, instantly stunned everyone.

At this time, in the crowd, Bucky walked to the stage and said in everyone's stunned eyes: "I'm sorry to delay everyone's time, we are from the IRS, and now our Director David has something to say, please wait a while!" ”

"What, IRS?"

"It's the Oscars, what are the IRS guys talking about?"

"What's going on, what are you doing here at the Oscars when your IRS doesn't care about your taxes?"

There was an uproar at the scene, and all the movie stars were stunned.

And the same is true of the media and the viewers who are watching through the broadcast, and no one knows what the IRS is coming for.

In the midst of everyone's thoughts, David on the second floor also walked down and came to the stage, and the media instantly put away their thoughts and focused the spotlight on him.

"I thought today's finale was the Oscar hero and heroine, but I didn't expect it to be miscalculated, the real finale is Director David!"

"Interesting, what kind of storm is Director David going to make this time?"

"I don't know, there must be a good show to watch anyway!"

In view of the fact that David destroyed the Rodgosky clique and defeated the human rights fighters in the early stage, many viewers in front of the TV instantly came to their senses after seeing him appear on stage.

"It's getting late now, I'm sorry for delaying everyone's time, but I can't help it, where the responsibility is, everyone take care of it!"

Hearing this, the host on the side, Regina King, asked with doubts: "Director David, may I ask...... What do you mean by duty? ”

"Tax audit, of course."

"Tax audit?"

The movie stars and media reporters at the scene were even more confused.

It's the Oscars today, what taxes are you looking for?

Regardless of what everyone was thinking, David swept his gaze to the many movie stars below, and finally stopped at Uncle Wolf's body and said, "Mr. Hugh Jie Koman, our IRS now suspects that you are suspected of a tax evasion case, and I would like to ask you to go back and cooperate with the investigation!" ”

"What, me?"

Uncle Wolf pointed at himself in disbelief.

And the audience at the scene and in front of the TV set set off a storm in their hearts.

Now they finally understand what David means by tax audit, it turns out that Hollywood movie stars are suspected of tax evasion, and today the IRS is here to arrest people.

"That's right, Mr. Denkoman."

Under David's confirmation, two inspectors from the Western Suburbs Branch came to Jiekoman's side, one on the left and one on the right.

Before everyone could react, David's gaze shifted to another actress and said, "Ms. Angelina Zhuli, I'm sorry that you are also involved in a tax evasion case, and I need to invite you back!" ”

"What, Ms. Zhu Li is also suspected of tax evasion?"

"It's impossible, Ms. Zhu Li has always felt decent, how could she be suspected of tax evasion?"

"I also think it's impossible, how could Ms. Zhuli evade taxes!"

Angelina Zhuli, this is definitely one of the top actresses in Hollywood, and because she has been a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees for more than ten years, she has traveled to major refugee camps around the world, which also makes her very prestigious and has countless fans around the world.

And as soon as she heard that the current IRS people said that she was suspected of tax evasion, her fans in front of the TV immediately fried the pot.

At the Oscar scene, a friend of Zhu Li couldn't stand it anymore, and he scolded loudly: "Director David, are you mistaken, how could Ms. Zhu Li deliberately evade taxes with such a big wrist?" ”

"Huh."

David smiled disdainfully and replied, "Won't you evade taxes if you have a big wrist?" Charles Lawton, Judy Garland, Chaplin, Nicolas Cage, Robert Downey Jr. Do they have big wrists? Don't you also have a history of tax evasion and tax arrears? ”

Charles Lawton, Judy, Garland, Chaplin, these are okay, after all, they are no longer alive in the last century.

But Nicholas Cage and Robert Downey Jr. are not only alive, but they are here today, and when they hear David call them by name, they are like a thorn in the back.

The former had tax arrears between 2002 and 2004, and fell into a financial crisis around 2008, when a large number of taxes and fees were not paid, and the IRS found nearly $14 million in tax arrears, which forced Kaiqi to sell his house to make up the taxes, which avoided jail time.

And the latter, Robert Downey Jr., owed the IRS more than 2 million in taxes in the early years, and then made up for it under the order of the IRS.

But these two were lucky, and Blade Warrior Nicks wasn't so lucky.

He didn't report his taxes to the IRS from 1999 to 2004, and in the first two years, he dared to apply for a tax refund of up to $12 million by illegal means, and was finally arrested by the IRS, not only fined a large amount of late fees for tax evasion, but also sentenced to 3 years in prison.

Hearing that David brought out these big names who had a history of tax evasion, whether it was Zhu Li's friends or other people at the scene, they all had nothing to say.

"Okay, the IRS, as a national law enforcement agency, now that I suspect that I am suspected of tax evasion, then I will naturally cooperate, and I will go back with you!"

Zhu Li is not a fool, she knows very well that even if the coffee position is big, it is still not enough in front of a strong law enforcement agency like the IRS, and cooperation is the best choice.

David nodded with satisfaction, and turned his head to look at the other black actor: "Mr. Weil Smith, you are also suspected of tax evasion, and you also need to go back with us." ”

"What, Will Smith is also suspected of your tax evasion?"

"This is an Oscar winner, how can he be suspected of tax evasion?"

"It's okay if Director David caught Zhu Li, and now he still wants to take away an actor, and it's at the Oscar ceremony, aren't you really afraid of falling into a storm of public opinion?"

In front of the TV, after hearing Davy's announcement to Weil Smith, the global fan audience boiled again.

And that's not all, what shocked them even more was still to come.

"Bulus. I'm sorry, Mr. Willis, but you're also involved in a tax evasion case, please come back with us to investigate! ”

"What, I'm also suspected of tax evasion?"

Bulus, who was named, was also stunned on the spot.

"It's not just you, Mr. Blous, but you, Tom. Hankos, Jennifer. Directed by Rolls and Cameron......"

David also named more than a dozen movie stars, directors, and some producers and producers in one breath.

Now, the global audience is completely fried.

You know, Tom. Hankos, this is a Hollywood and even American national treasure, and Jennifer. Laures, this is also a Hollywood big sister-level figure.

In addition, Cameron is an international director.

However, you David and your Western Suburbs Branch actually won it all in one go, if you don't give an explanation afterwards, then the combined influence of these big bowls and fans can give up?

Regardless of what everyone was thinking, David continued to explain: "I also said before, this involves a case of tax evasion, so I'm sorry I need to ask you to go back to investigate, don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow, if not, I, David, take the initiative to resign!" ”

The movie stars named below look at me, I look at you, and finally as the big brother of Hollywood, Tom Hankos said: "Since Director David has said so, then I can only cooperate." ”

"Well, in that case, I'll cooperate too."

"I don't think there is anything wrong with my taxes, but since your IRS has found out that I am suspected of tax evasion, then I will go with you."

Seeing that David was gambling on his future, the movie stars at the scene were much less angry, but they wanted to see how the director David was going to accuse them of tax evasion.

"Take it away!"

With David's order, a group of inspectors guided the named movie stars out one by one......

……

At the same time, the headquarters of the 20th Century Fox Film Company.

In the conference room, the company's CEO Horn sat in the main seat, his face looking very solemn.

After that, the high-level executives who were urgently summoned rushed in one by one.

After everyone arrived, Horn spoke: "I believe many of you have received the news about the Oscars, what do you think?" ”

"This Director David is crazy......"

"I don't know who gave him the confidence, but at the Oscar ceremony, he arrested more than a dozen celebrities, which is simply appalling!"

"He's going to mess up Hollywood!"

Many of the high-level officials present rushed back from the award ceremony, and many of them still had lingering feelings about the scene just now.

But they still can't figure out one thing, so where did David get the courage?

Even if you want to arrest these big names, you shouldn't arrest people at a ceremony like the Oscars, which attracts global attention, right?

Although it is said that arresting people at this time can make the Western Suburbs Branch out of the limelight, if there is a business trip, let alone the Western Suburbs Branch, the entire IRS will have to be roasted on the fire.

Such a big risk, didn't he Davy think about it?

Or is he completely sure that he will convict these people who are caught?

"Don't talk about that, haven't you noticed something?"

"Mr. Hounel, ...... you mean?"

The high-level executives looked at Horn in confusion.

"All the big names he took away have cooperated with us and the other seven major film companies!"

Upon hearing this, the high-level officials were shocked.

Because of the huge impact on their minds just now, they didn't think about this stubble carefully.

Now calm down and think about it, it's really true, both Tom. Hankos, or Jennifer. Big names such as Lauros and Bulus have all cooperated with them or other seven major film companies.

So what does it mean that David will take all these movie stars they have worked with?

Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger?

Or is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance intended for Pei Gong?

"McCartney, you're in charge of this, you think carefully about whether there is anything wrong, don't let this David find a breakthrough!"

Horn looked at McCartney, the director of the business.

McCartney's brow furrowed, and he kept recalling the scenes of all these years, but before he could remember, the door was pushed open.

I saw a tax collector from the Western Suburbs Branch break in and say, "Director McCartney, we suspect that you are involved in a tax evasion case, and now we want to ask you to go back and assist in the investigation!" ”

"Me? When did I get involved in a tax evasion case? ”

McCartney people are stupid, you IRS arrested so many people at the Oscars, and now you are still running to our Fox Film Company to arrest people?

"I can't tell you in detail now, but when I return to our bureau or go to court, you'll know!"

"I ...... Mr. Hauener ......"

McCann looked at Horn with a plea look.

At this time, Haoener frowned even more and looked gloomy.

He was still speculating just now, the Western Suburbs Branch seemed to have arrested more than a dozen big names on the surface, but in fact, it was very likely that they were coming for their eight major film companies.

And now the people from the Western Suburbs Branch have come to the door, which confirms this!

"Since the IRS has come to the door, then you can take a trip and explain it well!"

Now that the IRS has come to the door, it is certain that we can't resist if we resist, and we can only follow it first and then think about it in the long run.

"It's Mr. Hoener......"

After the two of them left.

Horn said to everyone in a deep voice: "It seems that it is right, it is for us!" ”

"In other words, those big names may be the breakthrough point of this western suburbs branch!"

"But the body of the big coffee ...... What breakthrough point can there be? ”

“……”

The high-level officials also realized the seriousness of the matter and continued to discuss it.

"No matter what the breakthrough point is, let our legal department immediately go to the Western Suburbs Branch to discuss it with McNee and those who have worked with our company to make sure that nothing goes wrong!"

David has been in charge of the Western Suburbs Branch for more than ten days, and the methods of this director have been taught by Hoener.

Since the director of the bureau has arrested so many people without considering the impact, he will soon have the next big move.

So they have to be fast, so that when the time comes, something really happens, and they are really caught off guard!

"Yes, Mr. Houner!"

……

While discussing with Fox Studios, at the same time, the other seven major film companies also held an emergency meeting.

And the major film companies soon came to a result, that is, the tax clearance of their Hollywood began from this moment.

And the confrontation between David and them can be regarded as officially launched!

Western Suburbs Branch.

"The reason is very simple, if we get rid of the Rodgoski group and the eight major crime groups, the rest of the criminal groups in the western suburbs will honestly pay their taxes, and the same is true for Hollywood, as long as we can get the eight major film companies, then the rest of the large and small film companies will also follow the herd effect!"

"I agree with Deputy Director Keanu's opinion, as the leaders of Hollywood, the eight major film companies will collapse, and the rest of the film companies will definitely not continue to resist!"

"If we start with those small companies, the eight major film companies can always cheer them on behind and even transfuse blood, so I also think that if you want to do it, you can directly use this Dadian Film Company, which will save a lot of trouble."

In the director's office, everyone has been brought back, and at this time, the high-level officials of the Western Suburbs Branch are studying the next move.

David's chin was propped up, pondering the opinions of the crowd.

According to his original idea, he also planned to bring back all these big names and get a chain of evidence from them, so as to launch an offensive against the eight major film companies.

Now these people think about the same thing as him.

"But then again, if the other seven major film companies can grasp the chain of evidence against them, it will be easier to do, it is the legal department of this Dishini...... I'm afraid it's a little tricky......"

Hakim had a look of dismayness on his face.

Disini's legal department, which is known as the strongest legal department on the surface.

There was a joke that if you were left on a desert island after a plane crash, as long as you painted a portrait of Mickey Mouse on the beach, then Disney's legal department could find you!

This may sound like an exaggeration, but it actually confirms the strength of the legal department of Disney, which is so powerful that it can even influence the United States bill.

In 1928, Mickey Mouse became an instant hit with "Steamboat Willie", and since then it has gradually become a trump card for Disney.

At that time, the term of intellectual property protection under American law was only 56 years, which meant that Mickey Mouse would expire in 1984.

Unwilling to lose this cash cow, Disini immediately lobbied the Congress through the Ministry of Justice, and finally succeeded in bringing about a change in the bill, which finally extended the term of protection of intellectual property rights to 75 years in the 1976 Copyright Amendment.

However, this is not the end of the story, because according to the term of protection of the knowledge industry, Mickey Mouse will expire again in 2003.

So Dishina began to lobby frantically through the Ministry of Justice and various channels, and finally in 1998, the U.S. Congress passed the CTEA Act, extending the copyright protection period for another 20 years!

This is the "infamous" Mickey Mouse Protection Act.

Although this incident is very shameful, it also shows the strength of Disney's legal department.

"Disini's legal department is indeed ruthless, and it is not easy to find out about them!"

"As long as the seven major film companies are managed, no matter how strong Dishini is, it can't last long, right?"

"It's hard to say, their bastards can even affect the bill, and if they are forced to hurry, if they go to lobby Congress, we will be in big trouble......

Hearing Hakim mention this, Lewiskinu and the others also showed a worried look.
