Chapter 230: Let's take the rice cake Mei first

In the western suburbs branch, in the director's office, Neeson walked in and reported: "Director, so far, no company in Hollywood has taken the initiative to declare. ”

David put together the information about the Rice Cake Film Company in front of him, put it on the shelf on the side, and replied: "There are eight major film companies suppressing it, and it's normal for those small companies to dare not come out, go to the Rice Cake Film Company and invite their person in charge to me." ”

"Yes."

Shortly after Neeson left, Serena walked in and said, "I've heard a word from here, and I think it's necessary to warn you. ”

"What's the wind?"

David was a little interested, because he knew that the family behind Serena was not ordinary, and the rumors she came to talk about this time were probably not trivial.

"I heard that the people at Disney are currently lobbying those lawmakers in Congress to attack the black tax bill, or ...... Repeal this bill! ”

As the words fell, David's face froze.

After Serena said the so-called rumors, he guessed a variety of possibilities, but he really didn't expect that Disney would be so bold and dare to have the idea of repealing this bill.

You know, this bill was passed by the IRS after lobbying Congress for many years.

And don't look at it as just a bill against criminals, but the various regulations it contains are actually equivalent to expanding the powers of the IRS by three points, which is of great importance to the IRS.

This bill is really going to be repealed, not only will the IRS be curtailed, but it will also greatly damage the authority of the IRS!

Wait a minute......

David seemed to think of something, he stopped his thoughts and said, "This is impossible, even if Dishini has the courage to do this, but such a major bill, I'm afraid they can't affect it, right?" ”

To say that the military-industrial complex, Wall Street, energy conglomerates, Silicon Valley such giants such as Lieru, Gu Ge, Wei Soft, and Dumb Mason; And the Jews were able to influence such an important bill in Congress, and he believed it.

But although this Dishini is not small, it is still far from the above-mentioned groups, but it is only a company with a market value of more than 20 billion US dollars, and he does not believe that he can move Congress to attack their black tax bill.

"Don't look at Disney's market value is only more than 200 billion, but don't underestimate them, the infamous 'Mickey Mouse Act' I don't know if you've heard of it, although this bill is not important, but since the Disney Group can lobby Congress to revise it many times, it proves that they are a little influential in Congress."

"Also, this company was founded by Walter Disney, who was born in the Yutai people, and the company is still controlled by the Jews, and the role that the Yutai group can play in the United States is needless to say, right?"

When they received that the Disney Group was going to lobby Congress, to tell the truth, Serena and his father were ecstatic.

Because as they said, the big boss behind the scenes of Disney is Youtairen, although it is not a core member of Youtairen, but Youtairen has always been a close alliance.

If something happens to a member, it is impossible for others to sit idly by or die without help!

Perhaps, this is a key key to stirring up a dispute between the Yutai, or the Freemasons, and the IRS!

David frowned, according to Serena, then this time may really be in some trouble, this Dishini will not say whether she can lobby Congress, but as long as this spreads, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the IRS in an instant.

And this matter started because of his tax clearance in Los Angeles, if this matter is not settled, then how can his clearance operation continue?

"But don't worry too much at the moment, according to my understanding of Congress, this bill does not affect the core interests of those consortia or elites, and at present, the United States is locked in finances, and the White House will definitely not allow the source of revenue and expenditure brought by this bill, so they probably just want to stop you from pressing on them!"

David bowed slightly, agreeing with Serena's opinion.

But even if this is a bluff on the part of the other party, this is also very fatal, just like the news that their western suburbs branch is going to conduct a tax clearance on Hollywood, and the stock prices of Hollywood's major film companies will plummet the next day.

And their IRS is the same, as long as Dishini releases the news that she wants to attack their black tax bill, then those who lose profits, such as those criminal groups that have suffered heavy losses because of their black tax bill, I am afraid that they will immediately join in and add fuel to the fire, thus causing a series of chain reactions in the national IRS system.

"Don't worry, I will continue to help you observe the movements of all parties and the latest news!"

Serena felt a little relieved in her heart, because she could see that David was probably really in need of their help now.

Because it involves Congress, let alone David, even the General Administration of the Internal Revenue Service has little influence, and only their old political families in the United States can have some influence in Congress.

……

Half an hour later, Neeson's push in interrupted David, who was still in his thoughts, and he said, "Director, the people from the Rice Cake Film Company are here. ”

David put away his thoughts and replied, "Invite them in." ”

"Yes."

Under the leadership of Neeson. Soon two men and a woman were brought in.

"Director David, my name is Smollett, the CEO of Rice Cake Film, this is Raymond, the vice president of our company, and this is Lucy, a member of the board of directors."

The man at the head first introduced himself, and then introduced a man and a woman on the left and right.

"Hello Mr. Smollett, Mr. Raymond, Miss Lucy."

David shook hands with the three of them one by one, then motioned for them to take a seat, and finally he sat down.

"Since you're here, then Director David, I'm not going to beat around the bush, in a word, what do you want?"

As soon as he sat down, Smollett asked very bluntly.

David leaned back and replied calmly: "Since you have asked so, then I also have a sentence, as long as you rice cake Mei take the lead in paying the taxes that should be paid, then I will not embarrass you, it's as simple as that!" ”

Smollett seemed to be prepared, and directly opened the briefcase and took out a stack of materials from it and put it in front of David: "Director David, our company's tax is innocent, this is our account book and a clear list of tax payments, you can look at it casually!" ”

However, David didn't mean to look at it, and replied with a hint of disdain on his expression: "Do you really think that you can prove your innocence based on these lists alone?" Or are you really unable to find out what's wrong with your company? ”

When the words fell, the faces of the three of them sank.

Since David can find out that there are problems with so many movie stars in Fuchs Film Company, it is not difficult to find out the problems with their rice cakes.

And even if it can't be found, with David's methods, if he really wants to mess with them, he can just make up a crime like he did with people from human rights organizations before.

After a pause, Smollett spoke, "Tax Collector, David, we have followed your summons today to show respect to you, but I hope you will respect us as well!" ”

In fact, he didn't have to come, just send a department head to deal with it, and the reason why he himself brought the members of the vice president board of directors over, as he said, was to express his sincerity, and hoped that the western suburbs branch would not use them first.

But what he didn't expect was that his side lowered his posture, and David was still unrelenting, as if he was going to take the lead in their rice cakes.

Instead of talking nonsense to him, David used the system's functions and began to examine the three of them one by one.

[Name: Smollett Rowland.] 】

[Occupation: CEO of Mi Nammy Film Company. 】

[Monthly income: $1.3 million.] 】

[Detailed income: ...... income through salary, bonuses, and dividends]

【……】

……

[Name: Raymond Clarence]

[Occupation: Vice President of Mi Engmei Film Company. 】

[Monthly income: $600,000.] 】

[Detailed income: ...... through dividends]

【……】

……

[Name: Lucy.] 】

[Occupation: Member of the board of directors of Mi Nami Film Company. 】

[Monthly income: $1 million.] 】

[Detailed income: ...... through dividends]

【……】

"What an unexpected surprise......"

Through a detailed glance at the information of the three people, David muttered in his heart, and the corners of his mouth gradually arced.

Because according to the examination of these three rice cake Mei executives, he not only mastered a lot of black materials of the other company, but also was pleasantly surprised to grasp an important secret of the other party.

With this secret in hand, he can be said to have eaten the other party today!

Putting away his thoughts, David spoke up: "Respect is not as simple as saying it!" ”

"Director David, what do you mean by that?"

"I don't mean anything else, I just think that the three words of respect for me shouldn't come out of the mouth of your rice cake company!"

David's domineering words made the three of them a little unsettled, and they looked at each other even more

But before they could say anything, David continued to speak: "Speaking of which, among the eight major Hollywood film companies, the fate of your rice cake beauty can be regarded as bumpy. ”

"You were founded in 1924 under the banner of the movie star Greta . Garbo, Charlton. Heston, Clark. Gable, Catherine. Hepburn, Gary. Grant's name still shines brightly today. ”

"And the films produced by your rice cake have won a total of 170 Oscars so far, and they are the first among major Hollywood studios, and they once had a superstar crowd, and they once created the myth of one movie a week."

David's eloquent words made the three of them a little stunned, and they didn't understand why the other party mentioned the history of their company.

But before they could figure it out, David's words continued: "It's a pity, in the 90s, with the rise of film companies such as Pixar and DreamWorks, they all seized the business opportunities of new special effects technology and animation technology, and compared to yours, the rice cake seems old-school and unchanged, and there is a lack of blockbusters after the 21st century, so it began to decline." ”

On April 8, 2005, Rice Cake Holding Company acquired your Rice Cake Film Company through a leverage of $4.8 billion.

"From now on, the shareholding composition of your company is: Providence Equity Partnership holds 29% of the shares; Texas Pacific Capital Fund holds 21%; 20% of the shares of the United States; Comcast holds 20% of the shares; DLJ Commodity Bank Partners holds 7% of the shares; Sifang Group holds 3% of the shares. ”

"According to the tax law, if a company is registered in a tax haven such as Cairo Islands, it is indeed exempt from paying tax. However, the DLJ Commodity Bank Partnership seems to be registered in the Eagle Sauce Country, which means that the $4.8 billion leverage, with 7% of the tax amount, has been avoided and diluted by you with the five major consortia. ”

"Do you need me to invite these major consortia to come over and verify the leveraged funds of the year?"

The faces of the three Smollett suddenly changed greatly, and then they immediately turned their heads to look at each other, but it could be seen that everyone's eyes were full of doubt.

Because the funds and equity structure that David said are not public, they are confidential information in the secret of Rice Cake American Film Company.

So how did David investigate so clearly now?

It's no wonder he was able to find out that so many of the movie stars and films at Fox Studios were problematic.

Judging from the fact that the confidential information of the Fox Film Company and now their rice cake beauty has been discovered, the secrets of each of the other major film companies, or black materials, may also be in the hands of the Western Suburbs Branch, right?

"Director David, I don't know where you heard this news, but the $4.8 billion leverage has been verified and approved by the regulatory authorities, and there is absolutely no problem!"

Smally was uncertain for a while, because there were too many consortiums at stake, and he didn't dare to admit it immediately, he wanted to knock on the side, how much insider information Davy had about this leveraged transaction.

"Okay, it's okay if you don't admit it!"

David didn't rush to refute him, and continued to say softly: "Under the blood transfusion of several major consortia, your rice cake Mei did show signs of resurrection, but unfortunately it was unlucky, and a financial crisis broke out in 08. ”

"After two more years of hard work, until 10 years, the consortiums that really saw no hope began to abandon you, and finally you could only declare bankruptcy and seek another buyer to buy."

"Eventually, a company called Telescope Entertainment took over your company, but this one took over...... It's not the kind of takeover like the previous major conglomerates......"

Hearing this, the three Smollett who had been silently listening without saying a word suddenly became nervous.

David still didn't mean to stop, and continued: "Under the leadership of Telescope Entertainment, you invested in the 'The Hobbit' trilogy and '007: Skyfall'. ”

"On the basis of the $1.017 billion earned by "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", "The Hobbit: The Battle of Smaug" once again earned $925 million worldwide, plus the $1.108 billion success of the 007 series of films "007: Skyfall."

"Your company has revitalized its TV and film business, and in 2014, a series of new films including Robocop, Hercules, Dragon Tiger Boys 2 and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, etc., have truly come back to life!"

"But then again, the film you released later was indeed a big success, but are you sure it can really stand up to our inspection?"

The meaning of David's last sentence is already obvious.

Although the films launched by your company later are indeed very popular in the market.

But if you want to become bigger and stronger in Hollywood, you must go off the rails.

Like Fuchs, which is so large, it has to exaggerate the cost of funds for various films, so as to raise the market value and finally sell it to Disney at a good price.

Don't you just want to replicate Fuchs' routine?!

Smollett pinched his sweat-stained palm, and asked in fear: "Director David, what do you mean by this, our films have been strictly assessed by the market, how can they not withstand inspection?" ”

"Don't pretend to me, you rice cake Mei has been talking to Dumb Masun about the acquisition recently, do you really think we don't know?"

Seeing that this Smollett was still quibbling, David was also a little unhappy.

And hearing David's words, the three of Smollett at this time were all dumbfounded, and even the corners of their mouths couldn't help twitching.

"If a giant company like Dumb Masun wants to acquire a film company of your level, it must be approved by the anti-monopoly regulatory authority of the Oumeng, and your company has a lot of bad things, and it is difficult to pass it in only four words!"

"So several executives of your company have been busy 'socializing' the officials of the Gull League's anti-monopoly supervision recently, do we need to make a fuss about this?"

Previously, David got the most important information from examining the three of them, that is, the information that Rice Cake Mei was talking to Dumb Masun about the acquisition.

Hollywood movies are actually on the decline today, and the same is true for the eight major studios.

In this era when capital is king, if you want your company to survive, you must find a strong backer.

Like Fuchs Studios, it found Disney, an industry giant, and was acquired by this giant in 2019 and successfully landed on the thigh.

And if Mi Cake Mei wants to continue to survive in the film industry, the best choice is to find a backer, and according to the information obtained from the examination, they are looking for the Internet giant Dumb Masun.

And now the deal between the two sides has reached a critical point, if their IRS intervenes, or makes a scandal for this rice cake beauty, then this deal is iron-blown!

Thinking of this, David clasped his hands around his chest, and it took a lot of effort for the rice cake to make the financial report look good, so that Dumb Masun took a fancy to it.

He didn't believe that at this juncture, these high-level executives of Rice Cake Midea wanted to make a scandal in their company.

If you don't want to break out, then you can only do what he asks!

In fact, after hearing David say that Dumb Marson wanted to buy them, the three Smollett were completely confused.

Because they have put all their treasures on the success of the acquisition by Dumb Mason, if David really caused any scandal for them at this stage, then 90% of the acquisition will fail.

And as a result, not only a few people will face bankruptcy, but the same will be true for the entire company, and those shareholders and shareholders who hold stocks will kill them!
