Chapter 183 Washington General Administration Meeting
“Everyone has seen that our Tax Commissioner David has achieved tax results of 62.66 million yuan this time, ranking third in the country. Applause and encouragement...”
As William finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the scene.
And David immediately stood up from his seat and bowed to everyone behind him to express his gratitude.
"Okay, let me report the situation of each team in this game..."
In the following time, William pointed out the tax situation of each team during this assessment period one by one, and encouraged those who deserved criticism and encouragement.
Finally, we came to the point that many people at the venue were most concerned about, which was the issue of funds for this official business.
"Uh-huh..."
William moistened his throat a little, and said slowly under the expectation of everyone in the audience: "Since this tax record has reached a huge new high, therefore, Public service funds have also been greatly improved. With the approval of the General Administration, our Lake District Branch has received an allocation of 3 million public service funds..."
Hearing the amount of 3 million, except for David and his team, In addition, the other nine tax chiefs and their team members present all had fiery eyes.
"The inspection team led by Chief Tax Officer David contributed the most to this official fund, so the seventh team received 1 million allocations. As for the first team..."
In the following time, William began Allocation of public funds.
According to the previous rules, the team that contributes the most will receive higher funds, and vice versa.
Twenty minutes later, the 3 million official funds were officially distributed, and William delivered some new motivational words during the assessment period, and the assessment period meeting was dismissed.
Meanwhile, in Washington, IRS headquarters.
The IRS headquarters is located in the heart of Washington, D.C., on the majestic Constitution Avenue.
The headquarters building is rectangular and decorated with classic white marble. The front of the building is engraved with the logo of the United States Internal Revenue Service. This logo is mainly in the shape of a shield and is inlaid on a silver banner, symbolizing the authority and authority of taxation. rigorous.
Entering the building, the most eye-catching thing is the portrait of Lincoln, the founder of the IRS, hanging on the wall, and below him, the portraits of the previous directors hang.
On the other side of the portraits of Lincoln and previous directors, there are also portraits and information introductions of some people.
These are some of the inspectors and tax chiefs who have made significant contributions to the IRS since its establishment nearly 160 years ago.
Of course, it is the dream of every inspector, tax chief, tax inspector, and even branch chief across the country to have the portrait displayed here.
On the top floor of the headquarters building are the offices of the director and other senior leaders.
At this time, in a conference room on this floor, a rectangular table was placed in the middle, and almost all the senior officials of the IRS were seated around the table.
"This round of assessment period is over. Can everyone tell us their opinions?"
At the only end of the rectangular table, there is a man in his early fifties wearing a gray suit; Some thick-looking men who looked quite calm and confident said this.
He is the current head of the Internal Revenue Service, Obadiah Bill.
“The Manhattan branch is performing well. It is the first branch to have black tax revenue exceed 100 million since the passage of our black tax bill. I think we should allocate more resources to this branch, so that in the future we will Achieve better results."
"The Long Beach branch is also good. Although it has not exceeded 100 million, it has reached more than 80 million, and it has great potential."
"The Queens branch is also good... …”
“…”
Many of the senior executives present were promoted from these bureaus, and their current influence is still entrenched in these bureaus.
As their own sphere of influence, they naturally have to speak out to safeguard the interests of their region.
“In my opinion, the Lake District branch in Las Vegas has the best performance. It is a miracle that such a small branch can achieve a tax performance of more than 60 million!”
Just as everyone continued to speak out to defend the bureau under their influence, the sound of this voice made everyone stop talking and turn their heads to look.
It turns out that the person who said these words was none other than Donald Gardner, the deputy director in charge of the Black Tax Act.
"I agree with what Deputy Director Donald said. It is indeed a miracle that a small bureau like the Lake District can compare with, or even surpass, the large bureaus in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago."
"The main reason why the Lake District Bureau can achieve such tax performance is because of the tax chief named David. This person is a talent, and we should focus on cultivating it..."
"..."
After Donald spoke out, other senior executives also echoed his words, and many even named David to praise him.
“Now that we’re talking about David, let’s share our opinions on the god-making plan and who do you think are more suitable in our IRS system!”
After Obadiah finished speaking, the faces of all the senior officials at the scene suddenly turned pale.
But not long after, one of the deputy directors spoke directly: "When it comes to the God-making Project, Brown Soros of the Manhattan Bureau has been ranked first since the establishment of the assessment period. I think there is no one more suitable than him!"
"Yes, in terms of contribution, he is currently the number one person in charge of our black tax bill, and in terms of ability, he is now the most popular criminal in Manhattan. Hearing the news, he is indeed the most suitable person to serve as the spokesperson for our black tax bill."
"I also support Brown Soros..."
"Bellamy Hardy of the Long Beach Bureau also. Yes, haven't you heard about the '223' incident he caused in the jurisdiction? He defeated the largest drug trafficking group in the area in one fell swoop, which won us a lot of favor from the public."
"Bellamy Hardy is indeed good. Not only does he have outstanding abilities, but he also has a good image and temperament. I think he should be the spokesperson of our black tax bill..."
"..."
< br>It can be seen that both Brown Soros and Bellamy Hardy have the support of many senior executives present.
At this time, Donald couldn't stand it anymore. He interrupted directly: "Why, the two tax chiefs Brown Soros and Bellamy Hardy are excellent, but Las Vegas Isn’t David from the Lake District outstanding?”
“But don’t forget who led the armed action in Nevada. This is simply the best that our IRS has done in so many years. A propaganda.”
"In addition to the armed actions, there were also his actions in Sparks and Henderson, which made the majesty of our IRS visible to the world."
"What do you think, Bellamy ·Are Hardy and Brown Soros really more suitable to serve as spokespersons for the Black Tax Act?”
Donald knows that Bellamy Hardy and Brown Soros have unusual backgrounds. That's why many senior officials present spoke for them like this.
However, as the drafter of the black tax bill, he wholeheartedly wants to see this bill be carried forward, so he naturally wants to choose the most suitable person to be the spokesperson for this bill.
And the person he thinks is the most suitable candidate is none other than David!
"I support Deputy Commissioner Donald's point of view. Since David led the armed operation, the media has labeled him a 'tax evasion killer' and an iron-fisted tax chief. He is definitely better than Bellamy Hardy and Brown Thor." The two Ross are more suitable to serve as spokespersons for the black tax bill!”
“In a small branch like Lake District, David can achieve tax performance comparable to those two people. This is even a defeat, let alone one. He also has the ability to lead armed operations and perform in the cities of Sparks and Henderson. He is very suitable."
"I support David."
"I choose David. , He has done a lot for our IRS..."
Although David has no background, his outstanding performance not only conquered Donald, but also conquered many senior executives present.
After hearing these words, the senior executives who had just supported Bellamy Hardy and Brown Soros had to fall silent at this moment.
The truth is indeed this truth.
The two people they support, Bellamy Hardy and Brown Soros, have higher tax performance than David in every period since the assessment period.
But you must know that David is in a small branch like Las Vegas, but he can still create such tax results. From a certain point of view, it is already a win. .
Not to mention that David was the one who allowed them to arm the IRS to once again shock the country, as well as the feats in Sparks and Henderson.
But despite this, for his own benefit, a deputy director present still spoke against his will after being silent for a while: "Deputy Director Donald makes some sense, but after all, Brown Soros has won the tax performance every time. No. 1 on the list, he has made great contributions to our IRS. If he is not selected, wouldn’t it chill the hearts of all our IRS auditors?”
“That’s right, David won’t be able to win this round?” It’s only third place. You choose third place instead of first place or second place. This is not convincing to the public.” “I also agree...”
Listen to this. Donald's lungs almost exploded with human words.
Whoever has more tax records will get the upper hand. On the surface, there seems to be no problem.
But again, how can the platform of Las Vegas be compared with big platforms such as Los Angeles and New York?
To help Bellamy Hardy and Brown Soros, these people are so shameless!
But when Donald wanted to speak out, Obadiah took the lead and said: "Since everyone has their own opinions, what do you think, Consultant Vertonghen?"
< br>Opposite Obadiah, a man with a high nose who was also sitting alone looked thoughtful after hearing this.
His name is Vertonghen Matt, and he is the chief counsel in the IRS.
In the IRS system, the chief counsel, like the director, needs to be nominated by the president and approved by the Senate before taking office.
Therefore, the role of chief counsel can be said to be one of the two most powerful people in the IRS system.
After thinking for a moment, under the gaze of everyone, Vertonghen said slowly: "It is undeniable that David's performance was outstanding. From a certain perspective, he may have surpassed Bellamy Ha "However, Deputy Director Lahan and his colleagues are right. Brown Soros and Bellamy Hardy have contributed to our black tax bill." "If you don't choose first or second, but choose third, it will not only chill the first two people, but also probably cause dissatisfaction among many inspectors across the country. , they will think that our senior officials are operating in secret. In serious cases, they may have negative emotions, which is very detrimental to our tax work..."
After hearing this, Donald and the few people who had just supported David suddenly fell to the bottom of their hearts.
As the chief adviser to the IRS, Vertonghen’s words definitely carry weight.
Now that he has made such a statement, even if Obadiah supports David in his heart, he will definitely not be able to let David take office so smoothly.
What's more, they still don't know whether Obadiah supports David in his heart.
Some people are happy and some are sad.
Those who had just supported Brown Soros were immediately delighted, because according to Obadiah's statement, it was Brown Soros who was in charge.
“Consultant Vertonghen’s analysis is very reasonable, but...if this statement is followed, it will definitely chill David. Although his tax performance is not as good as those two, he is in such a situation after all. In the small bureau, there are also a series of bonus points such as armed operations, which cannot be ignored..."
Obachoa's words instantly made Donald and others who were originally in a low mood suddenly become one. shock.
Because they have heard it, their director seems to support David.
As long as there is Obadiah’s support, David still has hope!
After Obadiah said these words, the venue instantly became quiet.
The situation is now very clear. One of the two giants of the IRS supports Brown Soros, and the other supports David.
And the god-making plan can only choose one person, so the form becomes very subtle.
And just when the atmosphere gradually solidified.
The deputy director named Lahan suddenly said: "Although David is qualified, I think he must not be selected!"
As soon as these words came out, surprise appeared on the faces of many people present.
Because even though the deputy director just supported Brown Soros, he still recognized David's contribution.
But now, the words are aggressive, which naturally shocks and puzzles many people.
Donald frowned and immediately asked: "Deputy Director Lahan, what do you mean by this? Why can't you definitely choose him?"
"I received the news. It was he who single-handedly brought down the governor of California, Stevenson. Although this matter is not yet known to outsiders, no one can guarantee that it will not be spread one day.”
"And if this matter really spreads and gets known to governors, senators, congressmen in other states, and some people in Washington, it will cause us big trouble."
" So, if he is chosen to be the face of our IRS, what will we do if something happens to him?”
After hearing Lahan’s remarks, many people’s expressions suddenly changed. tight.
The reason why the black tax bill can pass Congress is that no one will care about and pity the lawless elements. At the same time, it will not touch the interests of the senators, representatives, and other powerful people. They will let this bill pass.
But if word got out that David had brought down Stevenson, it would definitely make many powerful people panic.
At that time, they may attack David at all costs.
And if they really choose David as the spokesperson of the IRS, it may be really troublesome.
Thinking of this, the senior officials who had supported David just now, including Obadiah, began to waver in their hearts.
However, Donald did not waver at all. He angrily yelled: "Deputy Director Lahan, since David can bring down Stevenson, it proves that his ability is far greater than Bella. I don’t know how many people like M. Hardy and Brown Soros are doing this. This is a plus point. How come it becomes a minus point for you?”
“And don’t forget about us, either? The IRS has such great power, which is given to us by the federal Constitution.”
"We have always looked for trouble for others, how can we be afraid that others will look for trouble for us?"
"If Mr. Lincoln knew about this, he would definitely scold us descendants for being as cowardly as mice!"
Donald’s words were sonorous and powerful, like rolling thunder reaching the ears of everyone present.
But Obachoa and the others, who had been a little shaken in their hearts just now, suddenly woke up, and their faces were even more burning.
Yes.
They are the IRS, the most powerful agency in the United States. Do they need to be so afraid of those powerful people?
And if those people really dare to cause trouble for them, then at worst they can just let David go. Since David can bring down the governor Stevenson, he must punish these powerful people. Well, it’s not too difficult, right?
Thinking of this, Obachoa said directly: "Deputy Director Donald is right. Since David can bring down Stevenson, it also reflects his ability and should not be counted. It’s a deduction!”
Donald breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that his powerful words have awakened the director. As long as the director is holding on, there is still a chance of winning!
“Since everyone has their own opinions, I have a suggestion!”
Everyone turned to look and found that the person speaking was Turs Caesar, the special agent responsible for supervising and managing tax investigations and law enforcement in various regions.
Obacho Adam immediately asked: "What proposal?"
"We don't need to select the candidates for the God-making Project now. Isn't the new round of assessment period beginning now? Well, just inform them directly that after this round of assessment period, the candidate with the highest tax performance will be the one who loses. This is also the fairest choice at present."
"Wait a minute..."
Donald immediately said: "Are you kidding me? How can the taxes in Las Vegas be comparable to those in Los Angeles and New York? This is not fair."
Tours replied: "Then we can transfer David to other areas now and give him a fair platform to compete. This should be fair, right?"
Donald frowned.
The other party's proposal seems fair, but in fact it is still unfair.
The reason is very simple. Whether it is Brown Soros or Bellamy Hardy, both of them are now very familiar with their jurisdictions, and they are naturally good at taxation.
Now that David is transferred to another area, the platform is the same, but it takes time to get familiar with the new area. How can David keep up with the tax rate of those two people in a short period of time?
But just when he wanted to speak out against it, Vertonghen directly beat him to it. He said: "I think this proposal is good and indeed fair. What do you think, Director Obachoa?"
