Chapter 226: Take over the eight major film companies
"We're coming according to the plan, and there's no need to worry about Dishini."
Dishini's legal department is powerful, but that is also relative to others, David relies on the sharp weapon of plug-ins, as long as he has the witness evidence of Dishini's tax evasion, and then goes to their IRS court, no matter how powerful his legal department is, no matter how clever their lawyers are, it is absolutely impossible to escape the sanctions.
Hearing that David, the backbone of the backbone, was so confident, Hakim Keanu and the others were also a lot more relaxed.
In the following time, David explained to everyone some of the tasks that needed to be completed tonight, and finally instructed Hakim: "Go to Judge Nicola and talk about the court tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Hearing?"
Hakim was stunned, according to David's meaning, is he going to send these big guys in?
But even if these big names really evade taxes, if they are sent in, then their fans must not go crazy?
"There's a lot of things that need to be put back in court to have other effects, don't worry, it's not really about sending them to jail."
David can also find these big names and privately reach a tax agreement with them one by one, but then it will not involve the eight major Hollywood studios.
He needs these people to come to court, so that he can use the topic to implicate the eight major film companies.
"Understood."
Hakim seemed to grasp the meaning, and turned away without further asking.
After completing these arrangements, David came to the detention room as soon as possible, and in order to ensure the human rights of these celebrities, this time he also deliberately asked his subordinates to prepare a separate detention room for each celebrity.
Seeing David's arrival, the eyes of the big names who were locked up in the detention room all showed anger.
They also thought that the people from the Western Suburbs Branch would bring them back and arrange a rest room or something for them, and take care of the delicious coffee and snacks.
didn't expect to throw such a faceless face, let alone coffee snacks, and throw them directly into the detention room when they came back.
You know, they think they're just here to cooperate with the IRS, and the IRS really treats them as tax evaders?
It just doesn't make sense!
"Ms. Zhuli, I'm sorry for you to stay here for one night, but don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine after the trial is over tomorrow."
David came to the door of the cell where Julie was being held and comforted him.
"Hmph, I'll be fine, but Director David, you don't know!"
Zhu Li was immediately furious, and the IRS people brought her back and threw her into this kind of place, so they still let her stay here for one night?
"We'll find out tomorrow."
David replied, walked to the second detention cell, and said to the people inside, "Mr. Weil Smith, I have wronged you, and you will be fine." ”
"Director David, there's something wrong with what your IRS is doing, and if I don't have an explanation, I won't just leave it at that!"
Will Smith also lost the cooperative tone he had at the Oscars, and was obviously very unhappy with being brought back to be locked up in the detention cell, and to stay overnight.
But David still hasn't changed his face, every one of these people he brought back is suspected of tax evasion, and now it's just a little lesson for one night, and it's not too much?
Ignoring it, David continued to the next cell and said the same thing, and soon he had a reassuring word to all the big names.
Finally, before leaving, he said: "Oh yes, let me remind you that the investigation of your case will be tried in the court of our city bureau at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. ”
"What are you talking about?"
Julie, Will Smith and a dozen other celebrities suddenly contracted their pupils, and their breathing became short.
They thought that David had really just invited them back to investigate, but they didn't expect to go to court tomorrow afternoon.
Doesn't that mean that this is not an investigation at all, but an accusation against them?
And many of them have heard of David's way of doing things, and once they go to court, they are basically met with severe sentences.
They won't end up like this, will they?
A group of celebrities now realize that things are not good, and gradually panic.
Because they know very well that the courts of the IRS are basically a word, and if they are determined to rectify them, they may really have to peel off their skin.
"Director David, we didn't evade taxes, you can't send us to court like this, it will be a big blow to our reputation!"
Zhu Li couldn't sit still, he was a goodwill ambassador for UNHCR in the United Nations countries, and if he went to court, even if he was acquitted in the end, it would have an impact on his reputation.
"Zhu Li is right, if we go to court to prove that we are not guilty, it will be a waste of our time and our reputation, how can this be counted?"
"Director David, although your IRS is very powerful, you can't just send us to court without going through any procedures and notifying us, which is trampling on the human rights of each and every one of us!"
With Zhu Li's speech, the rest of the big names couldn't sit still, and stood up one by one to accuse.
"Whether there is tax evasion or not is not up to you, but the judge and our IRS have the final say, and I said before, if I can't give an explanation, I will take the initiative to resign, no need to say more!"
David ignored them and turned to the guards here, "Take care of these people, if they have any needs, try to meet them!" ”
After all, this group of people is a big name in Hollywood, and they are not heinous criminals, so David can be regarded as giving them some more human rights.
"Yes, Director!"
……
This night is destined to be a night that is inevitable for many people, and everyone is looking forward to the result after dawn.
Early the next morning, there was no doubt that what happened at last night's Oscars made headlines in the United States.
[Los Angeles Times: The most memorable Oscars in history, the IRS actually became the protagonist! ] 】
[Washington Post: Shocked! David, director of the Western Suburbs Branch, will 'catch all the Hollywood celebrities'! 】
[BBC: Global focus on Los Angeles, the IRS's big move!] 】
"Fack, what's going on?"
"The IRS guy actually swept the Oscars? What a fuss is this! ”
"It's a big incident made by this Director David again, he arrested all these big names this time, what do you want to do?"
"What are you doing, how many big names have been arrested, but these big names are also evading taxes, right?"
The Oscars ceremony was late last night, so many people couldn't stay up and went to bed first.
But when they woke up and checked the morning newspaper, they found that there was such a thing that shocked the world last night, which instantly made them extremely smacked.
The western suburbs branch, at this time, was already surrounded by dense media reporters.
"That's ...... Director David is out."
When the time came to nine o'clock, a sharp-eyed reporter in the crowd shouted, and then the scene instantly became agitated, and countless media who wanted to get first-hand news immediately rushed up.
"Don't be restless, stay calm, our director will answer everyone's questions!"
The Nissenbaki who followed David out immediately maintained order.
But the order on the scene is almost there.
David walked up and asked the Washington Post reporter, "What do you want to ask?" ”
"Director David, after a night of investigation, do you have any plans to release him today?"
David shook his head and replied, "The release may be released, but it will be after the trial is over!" ”
"Trial?"
Many media reporters at the scene were stunned.
The reporter of the Washington Post was just stunned, and immediately asked: "Then may I ask the director in place, when will the trial begin?" ”
David looked at his watch and said, "It's 9:05 a.m., and we're going to have a trial of this tax evasion case at 3 p.m." ”
"Three o'clock!"
Despite many precedents, the media and audiences were boiling over after hearing that there was a trial of these Hollywood bigwigs going to take place at 3 p.m.
"No, is Director David going to take these Hollywood bigwigs to court just like he did with the crime syndicates before him?"
"Arrested yesterday and sent to court today, this must have been premeditated by the Western Suburbs Branch!"
"I've always heard that the Western Suburbs Branch is preparing to launch a tax clearance operation against Hollywood, and if you don't make a move, you won't make a move, and you will be so shocked when you make a move, and I don't know what the next result will be!"
Unlike previous trials, members of criminal groups such as Rodgorski and human rights organizations were all unfamiliar to the public.
And this time there is going to be a trial, these are more than a dozen top celebrities in Hollywood, and the incident appeared at last night's Oscar ceremony, which naturally attracted the attention of the world.
At the same time, the headquarters of the Twentieth Century Fox Film Company.
As soon as he received the news that the Western Suburbs Branch had released the trial at three o'clock in the afternoon, Horn hurriedly held a high-level meeting, he looked at a woman in professional attire and asked, "Renata, you went to the Western Suburbs Branch to talk to McCarney and those big names, do you have any questions?" ”
Since the Western Suburbs Branch dared to try the case at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the fool also knew that he must have a great deal of certainty, and he had to worry.
The woman who was riding Renata paused, and said slowly: "Our legal department has checked the cooperation with these big names in the past few years, and there is no problem with the tax aspect in the past ten years, but if we push it forward, it has not been counted yet, and now there is no time for us to count them one by one......
"Push ...... further"
Horn frowned, as the current CEO of the company, he certainly knew how his film company started.
In fact, not to mention their companies, the other seven major film companies, as well as Hollywood's large and small film companies, all have more or less these black histories in the last century or at the beginning of this century.
In this regard, Hollywood is similar to the original Xiangjiang film industry.
In the 90s, the Hong Kong film industry was basically controlled by gangsters and money launderers, criminals needed to launder money through film companies, and film companies needed to develop with the help of criminals' funds.
It's just that these black histories have gradually been abandoned with the modernization of time, the improvement of laws, and the growth of their company.
"But there is no need to worry too much about this, this David has only been in office for more than ten days, and if he has the means to reach the sky, it is impossible to find out what happened so many years ago, I am worried that he will use the methods used to deal with human rights organizations against us!"
"He's just dealing with those nobodies, dare to use it on us and those big guys?"
"No, I don't think he dares to forcibly charge him, after all, it is not an exaggeration to say that the attention this time is a global attention, if he dares to do this, he will not be able to convince the public!"
The last time he targeted human rights organizations, David's charges of tipping, coupons, and stones were not very convincing.
It was only because he was a member of a human rights organization, and the human rights organization admitted it afterwards, that it failed to cause subsequent fermentation.
And this time, if he dares to detain those big names with such trivial things, then the fans of these big names will definitely not be convinced.
At that time, there will inevitably be a big storm of public opinion!
At this point, most of the executives at Fox Film Company thought that David should not dare to do this.
Renata pursed her lips and said, "I hope they won't do that, too." ”
Horn was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it, don't waste time, while there is still some time, prepare for the three-o'clock trial!" ”
While the Fox Film Company was discussing, at the same time, the other seven major film companies were also studying countermeasures for the three-point trial news released by the Western Suburbs Branch.
Under the discussion of all parties, the time finally came to 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Western Suburbs Branch, inside the Director's Office.
"Director, according to your instructions, I and I have brought all those people back, and I have confessed to those witnesses once, they should not retract their confessions again!"
"Director, this is a detailed list of funds for the year, and it is also thanks to the many channels of our IRS that we can find out."
"Director, this is ......"
Barkineson Simmons and others are reporting on the tasks assigned by David.
And David checked the testimony and evidence in Oh, and after making sure that there was no problem, he said: "Very good, then prepare and take someone to the city bureau!" ”
Half an hour later, David and his entourage arrived at the gate of the city bureau, and at this time, the city director Felton, and the state director Joao both came here.
As soon as he saw him coming, Joao came over with a haggard face and asked, "Director David, are you really sure?" ”
After receiving the news last night, Joao was also shocked, and he couldn't sleep all night.
Since the incident of Rodgosky and human rights organizations, he has realized that although David is very capable of doing things, fortunately, he can handle things perfectly every time, and he is indeed a manufacturable material.
But he still never expected that David would go to the Oscars last night to toss such a thing that shocked the world.
"Don't worry, Director Joao, it's no problem."
"Alright then......"
Seeing David so confident, and that it had come to this, Joao knew it was useless to say anything more. It will only be interesting to see what happens later.
"I'll go talk to Judge Nicola first."
With that, David turned around and went to the elevator, took the elevator all the way up, and soon came to Judge Nicola's office, knocked on the door, and walked in.
"Director David, these big guys...... Are they all going to be charged today? ”
As soon as she saw him come in, Nicola asked worriedly.
She didn't get a good night's sleep last night.
The judgment of this time, but every big name with millions of fans has an unknown number of times more influence than those who were tried before.
So it must be false to say that he has no psychological pressure.
"Yes, no problem, Judge Nicola?"
"Of course I'm fine......"
"Since it's okay, then I'll communicate the details with you first......"
The details that David said were of course not to really send these big names in, he just hoped to use the influence of this trial to involve the eight major film companies behind them, so as to launch an offensive against them.
And as soon as she heard that David really wanted to punish these big names severely, Nicola was also relieved, and immediately nodded: "In this case, as long as they admit their guilt, let them pay a late fee, and then give up?" ”
"Yes, they're just movie stars, and although they have some influence, it's the eight major film companies that are more important to us!"
Nicola agreed with David's words.
Although these movie stars have big wrists, their annual income is only one or two hundred million, while the eight major film companies are moving tens of billions.
If the oil can be hung from them, that's the big head!
"Okay, I know how to do it."
David nodded, turned and pushed the door open to leave the office and head to the courtroom.
Seeing his arrival, Hakim on the side immediately came to his side and whispered, "Director, look over there." ”
Following what Hakim pointed out, I saw a dozen men in suits and extraordinary temperaments sitting under the lawyer's bench below.
"That's Wicklief, Carey, Daniel, Roderick......"
"Needless to say, I know them!"
Before Hakim could finish speaking, David interrupted directly.
He knew most of them.
They are among the highest-paid elite lawyers in the United States.
He is also the royal lawyer of many big names in the American film and television industry, and what he is best at is dealing with various contract and legal disputes for these big names.
But if it were a different kind of legal dispute, the arrival of these elite lawyers might be really useful.
But today's tax evasion case, let alone them, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, it is useless.
