Chapter 191 Coming to Bellamy Hardy’s Territory
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and then Andrew walked in, placed a suitcase on the desk, and said: " This is what you want.”
“That’s right, Deputy Warden Andrew”
David was very satisfied with the other party’s understanding, and then gave it to Nissenbaki. The three of them made a look.
Nissen immediately walked up, opened the suitcase, and took out the stacks of account books and information inside. Then the three of them began to do the calculations in earnest.
Since this was the accounts of GCO Prison for the past three years, and the data contained therein were quite large, it took a full hour and a half for the three of them to complete the statistics.
"The total on my side is 67.65 million."
"The total on my side is 73.36 million."
"On my side..."
The three of them compared their respective amounts, and after adding them together to calculate the total, Nissen reported to David Hui: "Tax Commissioner, the total is 211.22 million."
David nodded. This number was similar to what he had estimated in his mind. It also proved that the people in GCO Prison did not dare to conceal the amount.
Then he looked at Andrew and said: "You can leave Andrew as deputy warden, but your illegal taxes must be paid to me within 4 days."
Four days later, it is the deadline for the assessment period.
Andrew didn't reply, but his expression was considered acquiescence, and then he turned around and left the office.
“Let’s see what time the earliest flight to Los Angeles is tomorrow morning.”
GCO is headquartered in Los Angeles, and if David wants to receive the amount, he can only go to this company to ask for it.
It’s seven o’clock the next morning.
David first notified Saxton, then went to the airport in Elko City next door and boarded a flight to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is located in California, and California borders Nevada, so in just an hour, their flight arrived over Los Angeles.
Looking out from the port window of the plane, you can have a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery of Los Angeles. The sun shines through the thin clouds and falls on the City of Angels, coating it with a layer of golden brilliance. The outline of the city is looming in the distance, with high-rise buildings and low-rise buildings intertwined together, forming a patchwork picture.
The streets of Los Angeles are like slender veins, winding through every corner of the city. Vehicles move slowly on this huge network, like busy ants.
When the plane gradually lowers its altitude, you can see the details of the city more clearly. On the beach, tourists are enjoying the gifts of the sun and waves. In the urban area, parks and green spaces are dotted, providing a perfect backdrop for this. It adds a touch of vitality and vitality to this busy city.
"Is this the 'City of Angels'..."
The City of Angels refers to Los Angeles. This title originated from the Spanish expedition arriving here in 1781, which coincided with the Catholic Virgin Mary. On the day before the festival, the place was named "Town of the Virgin Mary, Queen of Angels", and finally shortened to "City of Angels"
At this time, Nissen looked down through the airplane window. He sighed involuntarily.
As for Simmons, Bucky and David, although they did not express emotions like Neeson, they were full of expectations at this time.
If they succeed in their plan to create gods, then this city of angels will be their territory from now on.
Whether it’s taxes, beaches or waves, these are the things they long for.
"Hello dear passengers, our flight is about to land at Long Beach Airport..."
As the aircraft announcement sounded, David and others also felt YY from their hearts. After coming back to his senses, it is useless to think so much now. The most important thing is to get the tax from GCO prison first.
Ten minutes later, the plane officially landed at Long Beach Airport.
The moment the long door opened, they even felt that the air here was sweeter than that in Nevada. Of course, this may just be the inner expectation and yearning.
After walking out of the airport, David glanced at his watch. It was now 9.10, which was exactly the office hours of GCO. It was just the right time.
"Tax Commissioner, are we going to go through this without asking the local IRS to cooperate?"
GCO is a large company, working with the Department of Justice, FBI, and CIA of the United States. There is close cooperation.
So Simmons was afraid that if only a few of them went there, he wouldn't be able to handle them.
Nissen, you rolled your eyes at him: "Simmons, you must be confused. Do you want to see where this is? This is the territory of the Long Beach Bureau!"
Upon hearing this, Simmons slapped his forehead suddenly and realized that he was indeed a little confused.
The Long Beach branch is actually not that big of a deal. The main thing is that the Long Beach branch has this guy Bellamy Hardy.
This guy is now a competitor of their god-making project, and they came to their territory and wanted to collect taxes, and it was such a huge tax. It was hard to find them, let alone cooperate. After they visit, they will also obstruct them from collecting the tax.
"There's no need to look for them, we can just go ourselves."
David also knows very well that he and Bellamy Hardy are currently fighting in full swing, and they will definitely not help him.
And he never thought of asking for assistance from the Long Beach branch before he came.
It is true that GCO has a complicated network of relationships, and David is indeed helpless in Los Angeles, but don’t forget that Nevada is his territory.
If the GCO company dares not to pay this tax, then at worst, he will directly seal up all the business of the GCO company in Nevada after he returns.
He really didn't believe it. This GCO company dared to give up its entire business in Nevada for a mere tens of millions.
With David's words, several people stopped talking nonsense, and then took a taxi and headed towards the GCO headquarters building.
At the same time, the IRS, Los Angeles Long Beach Branch, Intelligence Division.
"Faq!!!"
Dozens of intelligence officers were observing densely packed monitors. Suddenly, an intelligence officer seemed to have discovered something, and was shocked. He cursed.
And his scolding also attracted the side glances of all the intelligence personnel on the scene. One of them even asked directly: "What's going on Luke?"
"Come and take a look at this."
< br>Hearing this, a group of intelligence officers gathered around, and the intelligence officer named Luke began to tap the keyboard with his fingers.
Soon, the monitor screen was played back until they arrived at the Long Beach International Airport, and the figures of David and his party appeared on the screen.
"This...is this David from Las Vegas?"
"It seems..."
"Isn't it possible? Isn't his jurisdiction in Nevada? Why did he suddenly come to our Los Angeles?"
Others in Los Angeles may be interested in David. They were not too familiar with him, but as employees of the Internal Revenue Service, they were naturally very familiar with David.
Aside from Brown Soros in New York, this is the biggest competitor of Tax Commissioner Bellamy Hardy in their bureau!
In addition, previous armed actions in Indian reservations also made David headlines across the country.
If they weren't familiar with David's face, they were in trouble.
While everyone was discussing, the intelligence officer named Luke started some operations again, and saw a face recognition system function appear on the big screen.
After about ten seconds, the comparison results came out.
According to the system display, the face of the figure that appeared on the screen was 98% similar to David from the Lake Las Vegas District Bureau.
The similarity rate is 98%. This is almost certainly not just a look like David, but actually David himself!
Now, the intelligence officers were even more puzzled.
However, many of them gradually became angry.
The reason is simple.
This is their jurisdiction, and now we are in the midst of the God-Creation Project. The candidates selected for the God-Creation Project will be directly promoted to a branch office somewhere in Los Angeles.
This David has come here ahead of time. From a certain perspective, doesn’t he mean to come ahead to inspect his territory?
Do you really not care about Tax Commissioner Bellamy Hardy in their bureau?
“I think we need to inform Tax Commissioner Bellamy about this.”
“Yes, I’ll notify him!”
I just found David’s traces Luke volunteered, then stood up and quickly left the Intelligence Department.
At the same time, in an office of the Long Beach branch.
"Tax Commissioner, the amount was accounted for yesterday. Now you have opened a gap of 4 million between David and David. Next..."
"Giggle..."
Bei Lamy's former partner, Trollope, was reporting on his work, but a sudden knock on the door interrupted him.
"Come in."
The next second, Luke pushed the door open and said: "Chief Bellamy, our Intelligence Section has just captured a piece of news and came here to report to you. Report.”
Bellamy took a puff of cigarette before asking: "What news."
"Just 10 minutes ago, David from Lake Las Vegas came to our jurisdiction by plane. ."
Bellamy, who was still a little lazy, looked blank after hearing this, but quickly asked: "Are you sure?"
"Our people. The facial recognition system has compared it, and it is indeed him."
At this time, Bellamy's expression became solemn.
It is now only 4 days before the end of the assessment period, and David's tax performance not only lags behind Brown Soros by a large margin, but also lags behind him.
When I came to Los Angeles at this juncture, I definitely didn’t come here for sightseeing, but for taxation work.
However, this is the Long Beach area, Bellamy Hardy’s territory. It’s okay for David to be domineering in Nevada, but he actually dares to extend his hand to his territory.
Are you treating him as a dead person?
"Go and tell the Intelligence Division that you can put down other tasks and keep an eye on him carefully to see who he has contacted and what he wants to do, and report back at any time!"
After hearing Trollope's instructions, Luke nodded and turned to leave.
"Tax Commissioner, this guy stretched his hands too far, but don't worry, no matter what he finds, this is our jurisdiction, and I guarantee that he won't take away a dime of the tax results. !”
Trollope was naturally unhappy that David had extended his hand to their Long Beach area.
Now the two sides are in a competitive relationship.
You David, instead of staying in your state of Nevada, you actually came to the Long Beach area. Isn't this trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?
He has made up his mind that no matter who or what case David finds, he will 'take over' it when the time comes.
He didn't believe it. In their territory, could David still go to heaven?
Bellamy did not reply, but judging from the expression on his face, he agreed with Trollope's words.
Another twenty minutes passed.
Luke, who had left before, returned and reported: "Tax Commissioner Bellamy, according to our inspection, David went to the headquarters of GCO."
"GCO company?"
When they heard this, both Bellamy and Trollope looked surprised.
They had previously speculated that David must be tracking some gang of criminals, and then they tracked them to the Long Beach area of Los Angeles.
But GCO company, this is a legal listed company, where is the illegal gang?
"Wait..."
Trollope seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said: "Tax Commissioner, this GCO company operates private prison business, and according to the information we have obtained, the managers of these private prisons not only committed some illegal acts, but also There seems to be something wrong with the accounts. Isn’t David here to check this?”
“Oh? Why didn’t you tell me before?”
Bellamy was a little surprised, obviously he had not carefully understood the situation of GCO Company.
"Tax Commissioner, you don't know something. This GCO company is not an ordinary company. It is the three largest private prison companies in our country, and they also work with the Ministry of Justice, state justice, prosecutorial departments, FBI, CIA, The Immigration Bureau, DEA and other departments have cooperative relationships, and it is not easy to bite off, so I didn’t tell you carefully before.”
When hearing this, Bellamy’s face originally showed a trace of emotion. The blame instantly disappeared.
This GCO actually has the endorsement of so many departments, which is really not easy to swallow.
But then again.
Since the background of GCO is so complicated, why does David dare to take advantage of it?
Isn’t this too arrogant?
Thinking of this, Bellamy became a little angry again, and he said coldly: "In that case, I want to see how he can bite it off, and keep an eye on his every move!"
"Yes."
......
In the center of Long Beach District, in front of the GCO headquarters building.
David and his team had already arrived here, and then strode in quickly, found a receptionist at the front desk, showed their tax badges and said: "We are from the Internal Revenue Service, and we have important things to think about. I want to meet your senior management.”
When he heard that it was the IRS, the receptionist did not dare to neglect and immediately picked up the phone to inform him.
A minute later, he put down the phone and said to David and others: "Gentlemen from the IRS, please follow me."
The receptionist took David and others into the elevator. All the way to the tenth floor. A man who had been waiting here for a long time immediately came forward and introduced: "Gentlemen from the Internal Revenue Service, I am Hugo, the tax director of our company. How can I help you?"
< br>
“I said I wanted to meet with the senior management of your company, I didn’t say I wanted to meet with your tax director.”
David knew that this huge amount of money was not a small amount. The tax director can decide, and I don’t want to talk too much nonsense to him.
Hugo frowned. Because he was in Los Angeles, he was not as familiar with David as the people in Nevada, so he did not recognize David.
But at this time, he just felt that the people coming from the IRS in front of him were too loud.
As soon as you open your mouth, you have to meet their senior officials. People in the IRS can't be so arrogant, right?
After all, their company is not just a kitten or puppy.
Although he was very unhappy, he did not turn against him directly. Instead, he replied patiently: "Isn't your IRS just inspecting tax issues? As the tax director of the company, what do you have? Just negotiate with me directly.”
David didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and waved directly to Nissen behind him. Nissen immediately opened the briefcase, took out the account book of GCO Prison in Rio City and handed it to him.
Hugo took the account book and opened it, but as the contents inside continued to appear in front of his eyes, his expression first changed from surprise, then to horror, and finally turned into extremely ugly.
As the tax director, of course he could tell at a glance what the content was and whether it was true.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this account book is exposed, GCO will not only be deeply involved in scandal, but also be involved in huge tax evasion.
Now he finally understood why the IRS came to find him, and why they asked to see their executives by name as soon as they came.
"May I ask, where did you get this account book?"
"I don't need to explain it to you!"
Hugo's face turned gloomy again, and finally asked: " This is the account book of the GCO Prison in Rio, Nevada. In other words, you are from the Nevada State Internal Revenue Service?"
"That's right."
"I dare to ask. What’s your name?”
"David."
"Okay, please wait."
Hugo immediately turned around and left, walked through the corridor, and came to the door of a room with the sign 'CEO Office' After knocking, he walked in and said to a silver-haired woman with a solemn expression: "Ms. Caroline, we are in trouble..."
The silver-haired woman riding Caroline raised her eyebrows after hearing this. He raised his head and asked: "What's the trouble?"
"Please take a look at this."
Hugo handed over the account book, and Caroline immediately opened it and looked at it.
But soon, like Hugo who had read this account book before, her face became very ugly, and she said solemnly: "Where did this account book come from?"
"It was brought here by a person named David from the Nevada Internal Revenue Service."
"David?"
Caroline felt that the name seemed familiar, but She didn't think any more and said immediately: "Call Pearson, Matut, Grayley... they come over immediately!"
"Yes."
Seven or eight minutes later, a group of GCO executives filed in. They all looked at Caroline with puzzled expressions, obviously not understanding why they were called here in such a hurry.
“Let’s all take a look at this.”
Caroline threw the account book over, and the senior executives did not dare to neglect it, and they all gathered around and opened it for inspection.
Soon after, their faces became ugly. One of the senior executives named Pearson even angrily said: "This is our internal account book. It is impossible for the IRS to get it. It must be It was the people over at Rio City Prison who leaked it. Damn it, I’m going to call them right now!”
"The people from the IRS actually got hold of our account books. We are in a bit of trouble now..."
"What do those guys in Rio City do for food? How could they leak our secrets? Damn it!" "
"..."
The other senior executives also became furious.
Five or six minutes later, the senior executive named Pearson put down the phone and cursed: "Yes, it was indeed those damn bastards who leaked the account books!"
Caroline turned around and asked: "Why did they do this?"
"According to them, they were forced by a tax chief named David, these bastards!"
< br>"David?"
This was the second time Caroline heard this name after Hugo just now, which also made her aware of this IRS officer named David. It was not easy, he immediately picked up the phone: "Help me check with a tax chief named David from the Internal Revenue Service, and send a copy of the information to my office as soon as possible."
GCO is one of the three largest companies in the United States. One of the private prison companies, the channels in all aspects are not weak, and soon a report on David was sent to Caroline's office.
But when they checked David's information, everyone was dumbfounded.
On January 28, armed with the IRS, they entered the Las Vegas Indian Tribe to enforce the law and collected more than 15 million in taxes.
On February 10th, he went to Sparks to enforce the law and sent the local deputy mayor and police chief to prison, where they were sentenced to a thousand years in prison.
On February 12, he went to Henderson City to enforce the law and sent the city manager and deputy mayor to prison, where they were sentenced to a thousand years in prison.
In addition, David is currently the most powerful competitor in the IRS's god-making plan. Once elected, he will have a bright future.
When did such a fierce person appear in this fucking IRS?
Even Bellamy Hardy, who is currently known as the ‘tax evasion nemesis’ in their Long Beach district, does not have such a strong record!
Now everyone has a little understanding of the managers of Rio City Prison, why they said they were forced to hand over the account books!
"I asked why this name is so familiar. It turns out that he is the IRS tax chief who brought armed forces into the Indian tribe some time ago and made headlines."
At this time , many GCO executives at the scene finally remembered such a thing, and also thought of a person like David.
"If it's him, then this guy is not easy to mess with. This is a bit difficult..."
"No matter how hard it is to mess with, we definitely can't pay this bill. This money It’s a small thing, but if the IRS in various states across the country follows suit, we will definitely go bankrupt!”
“Mattut is right, this is like Pandora’s Box. Once it is opened, it will cause endless trouble for our GCO company..."
"..."
Caroline was impatient to listen to the remarks of the senior executives and interrupted directly: "If he publishes this account book, our company will also be in a huge crisis. So what do you think we should do?"
"Ms. Caroline, why don't we have a talk with him first? It's not too late to see what he says before making a decision."
Caroline thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement: "Then Let him come over and talk.”
Ten minutes later, David and his party were brought in.
Pearson pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Director David, you are so scared. I am Pearson, the vice president of GCO. This is our CEO Caroline. This is..."
After the introduction, he spoke again: "Chief Tax Officer David, let me tell you directly. This account book in your hand is very important to us. Can you 'return' it to us? Of course, we will not It was a waste of time for you to come here, as long as you are willing to 'repay' it to us, then you can do whatever you want!"
David sat down and replied expressionlessly: "It's not impossible to return it to you. As long as you pay us the tax according to the funds on the account book, then I will turn around and leave!"
As soon as these words came out, Pearson and others' expressions suddenly dropped.
The reason they asked David to come over for negotiation was to get the account book back without paying taxes.
Why doesn’t David seem to understand?
"Tax Chief David, let me tell you the truth. If we do as you said, calculate the funds and then pay the tax, it will have a great impact on our company. I'm afraid we can't do it. Arrive!”
"I'm not here to discuss with you today. If you can do it, you have to do it. If you can't, you have to do it for me!"
David's overbearing words immediately made all the GCO executives present angry. Got a fever.
GCO is an industry giant after all. It also cooperates closely with the FBI, DEA, and various law enforcement agencies. The senior officials of these departments usually respect them. When would anyone dare to be so rude to them? ?
It would be fine if he were a senior official of the Internal Revenue Service, and no matter how many feats David had, he was still just a small tax chief.
If they hadn’t held their account books, they wouldn’t even have seen it.
Thinking of this, an executive named Gray Ray couldn't bear it anymore. He directly counterattacked: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want to us just by holding this account book!"
"I don't know if I can do whatever I want to us!" , but if you don’t pay, I can make it impossible for your GCO prison business to continue operating in Nevada.”
“Haha, what a big tone!”
Grey Ray. He sarcastically said, "Do you know how many prisoners will be displaced if our GCO prison operations stop?"
"And the FBI, DEA, Immigration Bureau, State Police, and Prosecutor's Office How many of the many prisoners cannot be restrained because they are not in prison?”
"Can you, as the chief tax officer, afford the system chaos that will cause the entire state?"
After saying this, Grayley began to feel proud, and the same was true for other senior officials.
It is true that David has the account books that can plunge them into a whirlpool of public opinion, but as Grayley said, once such a situation really occurs, David, as well as the Nevada IRS, We absolutely cannot afford such consequences!
David raised the corner of his mouth, looked at these people like clowns, and then replied: "Yes, terminating your GCO's operations in Nevada may cause some chaos, but I I think CCA and MTC should be very interested in taking over!"
When they heard this, the expressions of Grayley and others who were still a little proud suddenly changed.
There are three major private prison companies in the United States. GCO is one of them, and two of them are CCA and MTC.
According to the policy of the United States Department of Justice, in order to avoid vicious competition among private prisons, only private prisons operated by the same company can exist in each state.
Nevada is the state that their GCO won.
Now it is clear what David means. After getting rid of their GCO prison business, they can introduce CCA or MTC to take over.
In this way, their plan to threaten David with the cessation of the prison business and the turmoil caused by the prisoners having nowhere to house was naturally in vain.
And not only is the plan failed, if Nevada is really taken over by CCA and MTC, then their GCO will suffer a huge loss.
"Taxmaster David, don't scare us. You are very powerful, but I don't believe you have this ability!"
Caroline, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up. Sounded.
First of all, all David has is the account books of their GCO prison in Rio City. Even if he wants to deal with it, he can only deal with this prison.
The IRS has great power, but according to federal law, there is no such thing as "sitting together."
Secondly, their GCO has cooperated with all major law enforcement agencies and police departments in Nevada. If you want to replace them with CCA and MTC, you can only do so unless you get the consent of the Nevada state government and all law enforcement agencies in the state. It is possible to implement it.
She didn’t believe David had such ability.
“Haha, you want to replace us with CCA and MTC. Do you know what you are talking about?”
“That’s so naive. It’s not like your IRS can do this in Nevada. The final say.”
“……”
After Caroline's reminder, the senior executives of GCO finally reacted and continued to make sarcastic comments.
David didn’t talk nonsense to them, he took out his cell phone and dialed Laurie’s number, turning on the speakerphone at the same time: “Do you have time to chat, Governor Laurie?”
Hearing the words 'Governor Lowry', Pearson and others, who were originally sarcastic, suddenly froze.
However, the words that came next from the other end of the phone made them even more stunned.
“What are your orders to Master David?”
The phone was on speakerphone, and Governor Lowry on the other end was so respectful?
This is the supreme leader of a state. How can he be so respectful to a tax chief of the Internal Revenue Service, even using the words ‘what are your orders’?
No!
The person on the other end of the phone is definitely not Governor Lowry, maybe David is directing and acting to bluff them!
This is the only explanation that everyone can think of.
But with the new round of dialogue between the two people below, the senior executives of GCO became numb again.
“You, Chief Tax Officer David, are looking for me. Even if I don’t have time, I still have time.”
“That’s right, have you ever heard of our private sector in Nevada? Prison? "
"Private prison? This is something that Attorney General Marshfield and his department are responsible for. I don't know much about it. Do you need me to ask him to come over and talk to you? "
“That would be troublesome.”
The GCO senior officials are not very familiar with Lowry, the newly-appointed governor, but they are very familiar with Attorney General Marshfield.
Because when their GCO company obtained the right to operate in Nevada, they also signed a cooperation agreement with the Attorney General, and they often dealt with various prison matters thereafter.
But now when they heard that Governor Lowry on the other end of the phone actually wanted to call the Attorney General over to talk to David, they realized that David really didn't seem to be bluffing them.
Under the anxiety of the GCO executives, a voice finally rang on the other end of the phone: "Hello, Commissioner David, I am Attorney General Marshfield. I just heard Mr. Governor say that you want to consult with the private sector. Is the prison thing right?”
(End of Chapter)
