Chapter 253: David's 'Money Ability'
At the gate of the western suburbs branch, when they saw a large number of inspectors pouring out, the media reporters at the scene were stunned, but it was only a moment before they reacted.
"Audience friends, now everyone has also seen it, the inspectors of the Western Suburbs Branch have almost poured out, let's see what happens next!"
The media reporters made a brief announcement, and then got into their respective vehicles and chased after the convoy of inspectors of the western suburbs sub-bureau.
"It's coming, it's coming, Director David's action is coming, and it's really fast!"
"With so many inspectors dispatched, I think it must be to clean up Disini!"
"With so many inspectors dispatched, it's definitely not to arrest some of Disney's top executives, it won't ...... It's to seize the Disney industry, right? ”
"Isn't it, my wife works at Dishini, if that's the case, she won't lose her job?"
Such a huge scene naturally aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet.
When it came to seizing all of Disney's properties, many netizens were shocked and worried.
Disney has more than 100,000 employees in the United States alone, if you really want to do this, then these employees who have lost their jobs, then they must not make a fuss?
Will David or the IRS really be able to afford such consequences?
At the same time, the Disney Film Company building.
Because he was caught in the middle for fear of becoming cannon fodder, as soon as Okanji returned here, he decisively chose to resign and protect himself.
Now taking over the company is CEO Persevedo, who has rushed back from Europe.
At this moment, he was sitting upright in the conference room, and on either side of him sat the heads of various departments.
"Don't panic, listen to me, the Western Suburbs Branch is definitely coming to seize us, we will not do any obstruction and resistance, but the employees of various departments must be well 'appeased' and explain to them, do you understand?"
Persvido almost didn't say it directly, as long as the people from the Western Suburbs Branch dare to make trouble, you will encourage the employees to die for me and let them make a fuss for me!
"Got it, Mr. Posvido."
Although the departments didn't want to go against the Western Suburbs Branch, they didn't want to lose their jobs, so they could only agree.
"Okay, let's go!"
Without much ink, the heads of departments turned around and left the conference room.
What it looks like in about twenty minutes.
Bucky had already arrived at the Disney Pictures building with one of his inspectors.
"Action!"
"Yes!"
With his order, 20 inspectors immediately rushed to send it.
"I'm sorry everyone, because of Dishini's suspected tax evasion, refusal to cooperate and other crimes, the building needs to be sealed now, please cooperate, thank you!"
Upon entering the hall, the inspectors quickly explained the situation.
Although the employees at the scene were very dissatisfied, due to the 'obscenity' of the IRS, they could only pack up their belongings and walk out of the gate.
"Everyone in the audience and friends can see that, as everyone thinks, our Director David is indeed going to seal up the Disney Building, and so many employees have been kicked out, so there is a good show to watch now!"
"Bombshell news! The Western Suburbs Branch officially seized the Disney Film Company building, and it seems that the Western Suburbs Branch has already held evidence of Disney's tax evasion, otherwise it would not be so decisive! ”
“……”
As soon as they saw that what they had thought before had really happened, the media reporters at the scene suddenly saliva flew sideways.
And there was also a heated discussion on the Internet.
In the midst of everyone's discussions, half an hour passed unconsciously.
At this time, it can be seen that not only ordinary employees have been evicted from the entire building, but even executives such as Persevet.
"Is there anyone else?"
"It's gone."
"Okay, close the door!"
Confirming that the building was empty, Bucky immediately had the company's doors closed.
Immediately afterward, he personally took two special seals of the IRS and pasted them in the middle of the gate.
"Close!"
The mission was complete, and Bucky departed with a group of men.
Only the media reporters, passers-by who are still catching hot spots, and the executives and employees of Dishini are left.
At this moment, Bosvido stood up and pretended to be helpless and said to the employees: "The company has encountered such a situation, we are sorry for this, although we don't know how long it will be closed, but everyone rest assured, we are a large company, and we will give you a certain amount of compensation for the closure!" ”
"But given that the company has been seized by the IRS, this compensation is ...... I guess we won't be able to distribute ...... until it's over."
Fortunately, after hearing that there would be compensation for the closure of business, the employees were quite acceptable, but at the end of the day, many people began to feel a little uneasy.
Many employees present have all kinds of mortgages, car loans, and living bills to pay, this is okay for three or five days, if it is closed for ten days and a half months, who the can withstand it?
And most importantly, one more point.
If it continues to be tossed like this, even if Disney has a big business, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not go bankrupt or break the capital chain or something.
At that time, not to mention that they will get the compensation for business closure, whether they can get the previous salary is a matter of two words.
"Mr. Bosvido, how long are we going to be out of business this time?"
"Yes, Mr. Bosvido, you also know that we are not under a lot of pressure, and there are old and young."
"Mr. Bosvido, you must give us an accurate answer......
The more employees think about it, the more panicked they become, they don't care what kind of conflict occurs between the Western Suburbs Branch and Disney, they only care about whether their interests will be lost.
"It's not up to us, it's up to the Western Suburbs Branch, as for how long...... I can't guarantee it, but don't worry, we will definitely do our best to negotiate with the Western Suburbs Bureau. ”
Perseverdo still looked helpless.
"Alas, if it could have been negotiated, it would have been negotiated a long time ago, but now it is difficult to say."
"Who says it's not, even if the negotiation is good, the stock price has plummeted, and the Western Suburbs Branch has been forced to take away various funds, I'm afraid that the company will have to lay off employees at that time."
"Vice President Okanji's attitude was already very sincere before, but the director of the Western Suburbs Branch David is aggressive, this is to force us to death!"
After Posvido finished speaking, the heads of departments below carried out the conversation in the previous conference room, and began to pretend to sigh and complain, trying to stir up the emotions of the employees.
Sure enough, after such instigation by these people, the employees who were already very uneasy were even more uncontrollable.
"It's not a way to go on like this, I think we need to go to the Western Suburbs Branch to ask Director David for an explanation, and see when this matter can be resolved!"
"That's right, the Western Suburbs Branch will collect taxes when it collects taxes, but it can't smash our jobs, we also have to live!"
"That's right, the Western Suburbs Branch can't just seal up the company, if there is anything, it can be negotiated, instead of directly sealing it, which is not reasonable!"
Anxiety and anxiety began to spread among employees, and many began to question the practices of the Western Suburbs Branch.
Coupled with the various pushes of Persovet and the top management.
The employees' awe of the Western Suburbs Branch was gradually dispelled, and various dissatisfactions were formed, and finally under the organization of people with intentions, they went to the direction of the Western Suburbs Branch to ask for an explanation.
Because David's instructions were to seize all of Disney's properties, when Dishini's film company was seized, the rest of its subsidiaries, brother companies, amusement parks and other places were also seized.
And these employees, instigated by their respective high-level leaders, have gradually been affected by this trend, and began to take to the streets in droves to express their protests, or go to the western suburbs branch office to ask for an explanation.
What's worse is that this trend soon spread to the whole country.
Because Dishini's industry is all over the United States, and David's previous idea was to seize all of Dishini's property.
This naturally includes amusement parks, subsidiaries and so on in other cities.
Therefore, when the western suburbs branch took action, the IRS branches in other cities also received high-level orders to cooperate with the action, and Dishini's industries across the country were seized by the major branches almost at the same time.
And these employees, after being instigated by the management of Disney in various places, also began to take to the streets to protest and march.
Of course, there is the Disney Group contributing to this, but more of it is the actions that ordinary employees must take in order to protect their own interests.
Of course, for all this, both David and the Washington General Administration have already anticipated and countermeasures, and there is no panic.
New York, near a villa on the Atlantic coast in the southeast.
"Hmph, this David wants to use this method to force us to submit, and now it looks like he is being counterattacked!"
"He's still too young, our tens or two hundred thousand employees are making a fuss, not to mention the IRS, I think the White House has to come out to appease, wait, I want to see how he ends!"
In the hall, Bennett sat on a couch, while two men sat on either side of him.
The two men were named Tuttle Disney and Zachary Disney.
That's right, they are also members of the Dishini family, and Bennett are two brothers who are the same mother, and they are currently one of the three bosses behind Dishini.
"What's wrong, big brother?"
Tuttle, who was the second in line, couldn't help but ask when he saw that Bennett didn't speak and seemed to be thinking about something.
"It's kind of weird......"
The more Bennett thought about it now, the more wrong it became, he had read David's profile and knew that although this man was a little ruthless, he didn't seem to be a pure reckless man.
But now that they have really seized all walks of life under their banner, hundreds of thousands of employees are complaining and even launched a denunciation, is it really not considered the impact and consequences of this?
Or is it ...... What's the backhand?
If there was a backhand, what would it be?
"What's so strange, big brother?"
The two looked at Bennett with some confusion.
"Forget it, let's continue to observe the development of events!"
……
Western Suburbs Branch, gate.
"Revoke the seizure, revoke the seizure!"
"We demand to return to work, we demand to return to work!"
"Director David, we still have to support our children and parents, and we also need this job to support ourselves, please revoke the seizure!"
Disney employees throughout Los Angeles, who were forced to close their businesses due to the seizure order, came here one after another to protest.
Without them waiting, David walked out surrounded by Nissenbarky.
As soon as they saw him come out, these protesters became even more agitated, and the media reporters also came to him instantly, and they snapped at him.
"Everyone be quiet, listen to our director, and I promise that there will be an answer that satisfies you!"
As soon as Neeson's words came out, the people at the scene did fall silent.
"Ahem."
David moistened his throat and said: "First of all, I want to state that we have evidence of tax evasion by Dishini when she bought the 20th Century Film Company, which amounted to billions of dollars, and the person in charge of Dishini refused to cooperate, so I ordered the seizure of all of Dishini's properties, which is absolutely in accordance with the law!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the media reporters at the scene and the netizens on the Internet finally understood.
It turned out that the case of Disney's suspected tax evasion was really related to the original acquisition case.
But if billions of dollars in taxes are evaded, if the fines are implemented together, it will not be tens of billions......
Thinking of such a huge amount, countless people across the country suddenly felt a smack of their tongues at this time.
"Secondly, before we seized Dishini, we have also made a follow-up plan for the majority of employees, we know that Dishini's tax evasion has nothing to do with you employees, once it is really seized, then your interests will be seriously damaged."
"So, we're going to give a compensation package, and we're going to set aside a sum of money from the tax treasury that will go to the Ministry of Labor for the duration of the shutdown."
"You can apply to the Ministry of Labor for a shut-down compensation, which will be based on how much you earned each day!"
When the words fell, the scene suddenly fell silent, and countless people's faces were at a loss, thinking seriously about David's words in their minds,
But in just a minute, the employees became ecstatic.
Disney also promised to give them compensation for business closure, but this money will not be paid until the company solves all the troubles.
In other words, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet.
Whether you can get it or not, it's two words.
But the IRS is different, the IRS has the money.
And David also promised that a sum of money would be allocated from the tax treasury immediately and then distributed to the Ministry of Labor.
According to the current statement, it must be that they will get this compensation as soon as they apply.
But that's not all.
David also said that this compensation will be compensated according to their salary.
In other words, although they are temporarily unemployed, as long as they can receive the same salary, isn't it a matter of people lying at home and their wages coming up?
Who can not rejoice in such a good thing?
"My hair, there are more than 100,000 employees in the country, and if you really want to pay compensation according to what Director David said, how much will it cost?"
"This Director David has scavenged nearly 10 billion US dollars from several major film companies alone, and now this compensation seems to compensate a large number of people, but in fact, as long as it is not closed for a year and a half, it will not cost hundreds of millions."
"I finally understand why Director David is so confident and dares to shut down a company with more than 200,000 people, it turns out that it relies on 'money ability'!"
At this time, the Internet also exploded.
Countless netizens are even more envious and jealous of the compensation that Disney employees can receive.
This is equivalent to paid vacation, and it's cool!
Except here in Los Angeles.
At this moment, countless Dishini employees across the country have also changed from the previous state of righteous indignation to a gesture of ecstasy.
But as the saying goes, some people are happy and some people are sad.
New York, near that villa on the Atlantic coast in the southeast.
"Fack!"
"Damn it!"
Tuttle, who originally thought that David was going to be anxious this time, and Zachary almost vomited blood in anger after hearing David's announcement.
The reason why they didn't panic at all about the seizure of their own property was that they wanted to take advantage of the dissatisfaction of the employees after the closure of the business, so that David and the Western Suburbs Branch could not eat and walk.
But now it's a good thing, the Western Suburbs Branch directly announced that it would take out a sum of money to distribute relief to these employees.
It's no wonder that these employees aren't beautiful.
And their plan is naturally bankrupt.
Now they not only have to accept the loss of the group's closure, but also have not caused any harm to the western suburbs of the belt, which can be described as a loss to grandma's family.
As for Bennett's face at this time, it was not much better, he finally understood why David was so fearless, it turned out that this was the back hand.
David is sure that they will not dare to suspend business for too long, so they dare to openly issue leave pay to these employees, which is also too insidious!
"Wait......"
Tuttle seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at the two of them and said: "The tax from the tax treasury, according to reason, cannot be used by the IRS without the permission of Congress and the Ministry of Finance, can we accuse them of exceeding their authority now?" ”
In the United States, every department has its own responsibilities.
For example, the IRS's job is to collect taxes.
However, they have no right to allocate the taxes they collect, and they can only use them with the permission of Congress, the Treasury Department, or the White House.
That's why he wants to make a fuss here.
Hear the words.
Zach Ley Bennett's eyes lit up, too.
But after a while, Bennett sank his face and shook his head: "I guess that his suspension money was not allocated from the tax treasury, but should have been allocated from the nearly $10 billion fine obtained by David for squeezing several major film companies." ”
"In other words, this money is a 'windfall' for Congress and the Treasury Department, and they have not planned for it."
"Therefore, neither the Ministry of Finance nor Congress will be on our side in this matter, and we may not be able to do anything!"
Bennett's words were like a basin of cold water poured on the heads of the two.
But when you think about it, it seems right.
If the money had been taken out of the original Treasury Department's planning budget, the Treasury would have allowed it, and would have wondered if it had not worked hard with the IRS.
But this money was forcibly 'squeezed' by David himself, and for the Ministry of Finance, it was like pie in the sky.
No matter how stupid the Ministry of Finance is, it will not entangle anything with the Western Suburbs Branch for this little money.
After all, David has collected nearly 10 billion funds from several major film companies.
And how much is the suspension?
It's good to survive 1 billion, then it's close to 9 billion.
And this money, it is estimated that the Ministry of Finance is now looking at it with a dumb eye.
If they dare to make a fuss about this, it will be an opportunity to send the Treasury Department to the IRS.
In short, the gains outweigh the losses!
"So what are we going to do, are we just going to do it? Look at what our stock price has fallen now, from the seizure of us by the Western Suburbs Branch to the present, our market value has evaporated by 5 billion, if it continues like this, how big will the loss be at that time? ”
Hearing this, Bennett had to look up at the stock market screen hanging on the other side, but after seeing the decline above, his face was a little more gloomy.
Although the Disney family has many properties, Disney is currently their most profitable and important industry.
If they continue like this, their core enterprise will have to peel off its skin even if it doesn't cross it.
But in this situation, there are basically two options left.
First, it is to surrender to the Western Suburbs Bureau, in this way, although the loss is not small, but it will not be a big loss.
But in this case, everything that was done before became a joke.
As for the second, it is to continue to resist.
In this case, they can only win!
Otherwise, if they lose, they will face the danger of corporate collapse, and they may even be used by David to make an example and throw them in prison.
No matter which choice it is, for the current Bennett brothers, they can't make up their minds at once.
Western Suburbs Branch.
"Okay everyone, the compensation that should be there will be compensation for you, and we will let Dishini return to work as soon as possible, so that you can return to your post as soon as possible, rest assured!"
David's pacifying work has entered the final stage.
"No, no, no Director David, don't be in such a hurry and so quickly, you can check slowly, don't miss the accounts or anything because of us."
"yes, yes, we're not in a hurry to get back to work."
"Disney's business is huge, and it takes something to find out, Director David, you are so bad, check slowly, don't make a mistake!"
These employees are not stupid, and after returning to work, they will receive no more or no less salary.
And now people go to their homes every day, and they still receive the same salary.
So why don't you lie comfortably at home and play games every day to catch up on dramas?
Wouldn't that be more beautiful?
Of course, David knew exactly what these people were planning, but he didn't break it, but waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone go back, don't hinder our audit staff here." ”
"Okay, well, since Director David has said so, then let's all go back to our respective homes!"
The employees are also quite interesting.
After getting the due compensation promise, they no longer dwelled too much and scattered one after another.
Soon, only a few media reporters were left on the scene.
And at the same time.
Disney employees in various cities across the country also stopped marching on the streets, and returned home one by one with smiles on their faces, enjoying this paid vacation.
Thus ended this huge demonstration.
It is worth mentioning that the whole process took place in less than an hour, which can almost be said to be the shortest demonstration in the history of the United States.
