Chapter 192 Brown Bellamy started to panic
“Yes, as far as I know, your state government should have signed a contract with a company called GCO, right?”
< br>"Yes, it is this company."
"Then what I want to know is, is it possible to replace this company, such as replacing CCA or MTC, a private prison company."
"This...it's no problem to change to another private company, the main thing is that we both signed a contract..."
"I think there should be some clauses in your contract that, for example, if GCO breaks out a tax evasion scandal, the contract will be invalidated, right?"
"Yes, there are these clauses. If GCO is in We have a tax evasion scandal in Nevada, so it is reasonable to replace companies such as CCA or MTC."
Having said this, David stopped talking and turned to look at GCO. The company's senior executives.
At this time, the high-level officials had already stirred up a storm in their hearts.
Many of them could hear the voice of Attorney General Marshfield opposite. It was definitely him.
The state inspector general was not only so polite to David, but also seemed to obey him. It was difficult not to shock them.
And if it’s just the Attorney General, the most important thing is that the same is true for Governor Lowry.
That is the head of a state.
If he really sided with David, then their GCO company's business would not only be unable to operate in Nevada, but it would also be greatly hindered.
After all, the states in the United States are very independent, equivalent to a small country.
And now Nevada Governor Lowry, if you regard him as the president, you can imagine how much power he has.
"Okay, Attorney General Marshfield, I'm just asking about the situation. I'll contact you again if necessary!"
After hanging up the phone.
With everyone's doubtful eyes on life, David dialed a number again: "Special Agent Gavin?"
The GCO executives, who were already uneasy, When I heard the words 'Special Agent Gavin', my brain felt like it was hit hard again.
This name is not unfamiliar to them either.
As I said before, their GCO company cooperates with various law enforcement agencies, and the FBI is also within the scope of their cooperation.
And this so-called Special Agent Gavin is the highest governor of Nevada. How could they not know him?
While the senior executives had not yet come to their senses, a voice began to come from the other end of the phone: "It's me, what's wrong, Chief Tax Officer David?"
"Ask you something. , does your FBI also cooperate with private prisons? ”
"Yes, the prisoners we arrested cannot be accommodated in public prisons alone, so many of them have to be transferred to private prisons."
"Then did your FBI work with a company called GCO? The cooperation reached by the prison?”
“Yes, is there any problem?”
“What I want to ask is, is it possible to change this company to CCA? Private prison companies like MTC? "
"We have signed an agreement, which is a little difficult... However, if you really need it, Chief David, it is not impossible to let us change."
Compared with the previous Marshfield, Gavin is even more impressive.
Because he had already heard that David seemed to have a conflict with GCO, so he immediately chose the right stance.
And one thing worth mentioning is that he did not express concerns about the contract like Marshfield did before.
Because for the FBI, there are many ways to find loopholes in the contract, or other ways to deal with legal responsibilities.
At this time, the senior executives of GCO Company were shocked again.
Because they also heard that the largest FBI leader in Nevada was even more attentive than Attorney General Marshfield just now.
What does it mean that ‘as long as you, Chief Tax Officer David, really need it, it’s not impossible for us to change it’?
This statement indirectly shows that as long as David opens his mouth about FBI matters, then Gavin will definitely obey him!
"Okay, I'm just asking about the situation. I'll contact you if necessary."
After hanging up the phone, David looked at Caroline, and you could tell , even though the other party is the CEO of GCO Company, his expression is now very gloomy.
But he ignored it and said with a hint of ridicule: "Ms. Caroline, now do you think I have this ability? Maybe, there is no need for me to report it to the city halls and police of various cities in Nevada." The director made a call and asked them to consider cooperating with your company?"
Caroline was speechless, and the other senior executives were also speechless.
Joke.
Even the state government and the head of the FBI obeyed David's words. How could the other departments and city halls below dare to resist?
Originally, the reason why they were confident was because they did not believe that David could handle all departments in Nevada.
But now, they have to believe it.
"I understand your GCO company's business model. First of all, a large part of your profits comes from the exploitation of prisoners, but this has nothing to do with us."
"It really has to do with us. What’s relevant is that a large part of your profits come from government financial subsidies.”
“Where do you think the money for your subsidies comes from? It’s not from our taxes. "
"In other words, you are eating ours and drinking ours, and now I'm just asking you to cough up some of the tax you owe. Isn't that too much?"
After hearing David's words, Caroline and others were even more unable to refute.
Because according to the agreement signed between the government and private prisons.
Private prisons receive a daily subsidy of US$58 for each inmate admitted.
This little money is nothing, but it adds up to a lot.
Take the GCO Prison in Rio City as an example. There are more than 5,000 prisoners in it. The government’s subsidy for these prisoners is nearly 290,000 US dollars a day.
That’s $8.7 million a month.
If we count from the time this prison was founded, the amount has almost reached 300 million in three years.
And this money is not conjured up out of thin air by the government. It is fiscal funds turned over through taxes from the Internal Revenue Service.
So David said that their GCO prison eats and drinks from the IRS, which is reasonable to a certain extent.
After a while, Caroline said: "Okay, Chief Tax Officer David, since we have talked about it for this reason, let us discuss it carefully and give you an explanation. Like? ”
David didn't talk nonsense, stood up and walked out.
After he left, Pearson immediately cursed: "Damn it, how on earth did he control the entire state of Nevada?"
Don't say it actually. It was him. Caroline and the senior executives present were also thinking hard and couldn't figure it out.
Even though David invaded the Indian tribe with arms, even though David swept through the city halls of Henderson and Sparks.
But that doesn’t make Tangtang Yizhou Supreme fear him so much.
And forget about the governor, what's the situation with Gavin at the FBI?
The FBI is also one of the most powerful law enforcement agencies in the United States. How could Gaiwen, the highest governor in the state, be so surrendered to David?
"Some time ago, former Governor Stevenson resigned due to a scandal. Does this matter... have anything to do with him?"
As soon as Grayley's words came out, everyone The senior executives suddenly felt enlightened.
David seemed not to be involved in the incident at that time, but judging from the current affairs of their GCO company, it is very likely that David was leading the behind the scenes.
This can also explain why the new governor Lowry is so respectful to David now.
This is the biggest benefactor who helped him become governor, and since David can get rid of Stevenson, he may not be able to get rid of him, Laurie, so how can Laurie not be respectful?
"Okay, don't discuss this matter anymore. It has nothing to do with us. The main thing now is to discuss what should we do?"
Caroline's words dismissed everyone's thoughts. speculation in.
Grayley immediately expressed his position: "Ms. Caroline, should we go find officials in Washington to do something about it?"
No matter what, they really can't beat David now in Nevada.
The only way may be through pressure from Washington.
Pearson shook his head: "Looking for senior officials over there, we may be able to put some pressure on Gavin, but we can't put pressure on Laurie. And as long as Laurie wants to interfere with our GCO, Plus, David is always watching, so we are still very passive.”
This was also recognized by many senior officials at the scene.
Although Gavin is the top executive of the FBI in Nevada, he is still subject to the FBI headquarters in Washington.
But as Lauri is the governor of a state, even the president cannot command him.
As long as the state government cannot pass this hurdle, then the state government will have plenty of places to hinder them in terms of prison admission rates and financial subsidies.
After a long time, Pearson suggested again: "Ms. Caroline, I think that under the current circumstances, it is the best choice for him to pay the tax. But before paying it, we We need to negotiate good terms with him. Matters in Nevada are matters in Nevada. He needs to keep this strictly confidential and cannot leak it to other states!"
"Well, I do! We agree with Pearson's approach. It's only tens of millions, which is not a big sum of money to us. As long as he keeps his mouth shut about taking the money, it doesn't matter if we give it to him."
"Rather than give up on Nevada. It is indeed more cost-effective to pay for the state’s management rights, but the premise is just as Pearson said, other states cannot be involved.”
"I agree..."
Everyone present can reach the high-level position, and they will naturally make correct judgments based on the form.
The current situation is to either give up the right to operate in Nevada, or to spend some money to eliminate the disaster.
What is more important, they will naturally make a choice.
Of course, they didn't care about the money at all. What they cared about from beginning to end was because once word spread about Nevada, it would cause a chain reaction in other states.
Caroline was silent for a long time, and finally said with a heart: "Since everyone agrees, then fine, let him come in."
A few minutes later, David walked into the office again, with a calm expression. Asked: "How about everyone, can you tell me your choice?"
Caroline replied: "We can pay this money to the IRS, but we have to make an agreement with you. !”
“Let’s talk about it.”
“First of all, this matter will only involve the Rio City Prison in Nevada and cannot be spread to other prisons in our states. , if word gets out one day, we will deny your tax, and your IRS must also stand up and agree with us!”
David thought for a while and replied: "It only involves Nevada and not other states. I can promise you that. We, the IRS, are obliged to keep customer information confidential. If it is spread, we will do it." You can rest assured that you are responsible!”
Although he knows that GCO’s business is spread across the United States, he can go to GCO prisons in various states to rip off people at any time in the future.
However, this is a critical period for the black tax bill, and there are only a few days left. He does not want to push the other party too hard, causing the other party to jump over the wall and cause other things.
In short, the most important thing is to get this tax first and ensure that you can be selected for the god-making project.
"Wait a minute...I am talking about only this prison in Rio de Janeiro, Nevada, and not other places."
Caroline is certainly smart as the CEO of GCO.
The purpose of her words is actually that you, David, can only collect taxes from my prison in Nevada, but you cannot go to my other prisons. This can be regarded as retaining maximum benefits for GCO companies.
David is not a fool. He had already seen the other party's intention when he spoke for the first time, and then replied: "I can't agree to this for the time being. You guys Some of you may also know that our IRS has recently launched a god-making plan, and I need to fight for this plan. Of course, if this tax is enough for me to be elected, I can let you go about other prison matters. "
Although this tax is accounted for, he can immediately overtake Bellamy Hardy and Brown Soros by a large margin, but these two occupy super big platforms such as Los Angeles and New York, and their backgrounds are not related. Generally speaking, he can guarantee that he will definitely win.
Therefore, he needs GCO to endorse his tax performance.
Caroline obviously didn’t understand much about the god-making plan, and looked at the senior executives present.
And soon, a senior executive who knew the inside story came and whispered in her ear.
A few minutes later, after finishing understanding, Caroline held her chin and thought for a moment, and then said: "Tax Commissioner David, you are thinking of us as a consortium supporting your election, then we What benefits will it bring in the future?”
“I have promised not to build prisons in other states. Isn’t this the biggest benefit to you?”
Caroline looked at David carefully for a while, and finally said: "Nearly 80 million, this is not a small sum, we need some time to prepare."
"Of course..."
In the following time, David and the people from GCO company explained the branch where the remittance was located, and then led Nissen and others out of the company's door.
Nearly 80 million in tax revenue is about to be received. At this moment, both David and Nissen, Bucky and Simmons are all feeling very good.
Nissen asked: "Tax Commissioner, should we go back now or...?"
"Don't worry, let's find a restaurant to have a good meal first, and then we can take a good tour of this 'City of Angels'!"
Although the deadline for the assessment period is still four days away, David is now Not only is tens of millions about to be collected, but it also has the "full support" of the big company GCO, so in his opinion, the god-making plan is probably stable, but there is no need to be as urgent as before, so relax first.
As soon as they heard that they wanted to take a good tour of this city, Nissen and the others immediately became happy.
Because of the God-making Project, they have been under a lot of pressure recently and are as tired as dogs every day. Now it is a rare opportunity to take a breather.
Soon after, Long Beach Precinct.
Trollope hurriedly broke into Bellamy's office and said, "It's a big deal, Commissioner."
"What's the matter?"
Bellamy's thoughts He also mentioned it, because he knew very well the nature of his subordinate. If something hadn't really happened, he would never be so panicked.
“Our intelligence personnel and systems have just detected that GCO is mobilizing a large amount of funds.”
“Is there such a thing?!”
Normally, if GCO Company mobilizes a large amount of funds, this would be fine, but then didn't David go to GCO Company?
At this time, GCO suddenly mobilized a large amount of funds, so this is somewhat worthy of scrutiny.
Bellamy quickly asked: "Is it possible that this is a normal fund mobilization?"
"I checked and the funds that GCO suddenly mobilized were not used for It’s for ordinary business. As for what business it is used for, their company is very secretive and only gave out a company secret, but it is definitely related to David!”
Hearing Trollope’s words! After these words, Bellamy became a little nervous, and he immediately asked: "Then how much funds do they need to mobilize?"
"The specific number is not yet known, but there is definitely a guarantee of 50 million!"
"What did you say!"
At this time, Bellamy couldn't sit still at all.
For this period of time, his tax performance has been bitten by David, and it took nine days and two tigers' efforts in the past few days to finally widen the gap of several million.
If the 50 million funds mobilized by the GCO company were really used to transfer it to David for tax purposes, then he would have to give up on this god-making plan for a trivial matter!
"Wait..."
Bellamy seemed to remember something, and said angrily: "Didn't you tell me that GCO has inextricable relationships with the FBI, CIA, and various departments of the Ministry of Justice? Is it hard to chew? How did he bite it off?"
"This..."
Trollope was speechless.
In fact, he couldn't understand it very much.
Although this GCO company is not considered a powerful capital in the United States, it is still among the top three in the industry.
It also cooperates closely with various departments of the Ministry of Justice, FBI, CIA, and DEA. No one else would be able to make them give in so easily.
But David has only been in Los Angeles for a few hours, and he has just walked into the headquarters of GCO Company, and he is already asking them to submit and is mobilizing funds.
This is a bit weird no matter how you look at it.
“Asshole!”
Bellamy cursed loudly, then walked up and paced back and forth in the office, his mind running rapidly for solutions.
About five minutes later, he stopped, looked at Trollope and said: "I don't care what method you use, but you can find a reason to freeze his funds first. You can't Let GCO really be transferred to David!”
The God-Building Plan is too important. If this fund is transferred to David, then he will definitely have no chance.
Therefore, the money must be locked.
“It’s easy to find a reason to freeze the funds, but...if David sues the General Administration, we will be in a bit of trouble.”
"Don't worry about this. Don't let this fund be transferred out yet. I will take care of other things!"
"Okay."
Trollope did not dare to continue to refute. , turned and left.
After he left, Bellamy took out his cell phone and found a number. After hesitating for a while, he finally chose to dial it.
New York, Manhattan Bureau.
"Tax Commissioner, our current total tax revenue is 84.46 million, which is 11 million more than Bellamy Hardy of the Long Beach branch, and more than 15 million more than David of the Lake District branch. After we deal with Tolan's gang, it is expected that there will be more 3 million was recorded.”
“Tax chief, after we settle Harrington’s case, we expect to receive around 2.6 million.”
“Our side...”< br>
On the chair, Brown Soros listened to the reports of his subordinates, with a slightly satisfied expression on his face.
Based on the remaining 4 days, if all these taxes can be collected smoothly, then there will be no problem in his tax performance exceeding 100 million.
Judging from the current tax performance of the two recent competitors, it is unlikely that they can overtake him. It is almost certain that he will win the god-making plan.
"Haha, fight with me, you two are still a little green!"
Brown mocked the two competitors in his heart, but at this moment, the mobile phone on the desktop But it rang.
He picked it up and took a look, then immediately waved his hand to interrupt the subordinate who was reporting the data, and picked up: "I am Brown."
"I am Bella from the Long Beach branch in Los Angeles. Mi Hardy, hello Commissioner Brown! ”
When he heard that it was Bellamy calling, Brown was stunned. He had been mocking the other party just now, but he didn't expect the other party's call to come.
Although he still doesn’t know the other party’s purpose, since the other party is coming, it’s just right. He also wants to dampen the opponent’s spirit!
Then he replied with a high voice: "It turns out to be Tax Commissioner Bellamy. Why, there are only a few days left in the god-making plan. Do you still have time to call me and chat?"
Of course Bellamy could hear Brown's pride on the opposite end, and he thought to himself, after David's situation is revealed later, I hope you can still be so proud!
Putting away his thoughts, he replied: "Of course I'm not calling you just to chat. We have something going on here. I think we need to inform Tax Commissioner Brown."
"Something happened? Then I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you much. I'm very busy now."
Bellamy sneered: "Haha, I'm afraid you have to help me even if you don't want to help me. !"
"What do you mean?"
"As far as I know, Chief Brown, your current tax performance is only more than 84 million, right?"
"Yes? So what? ”
"There are only four days left in the assessment period. I think in these four days, Commissioner Brown, you will only collect over 100 million yuan in tax revenue, right?"
"What on earth do you want to say!"
Brown was a little impatient.
"What I want to say is, if David has a tax record of 50 million that is about to be recorded, are you still confident that you can catch up with him?"
Hearing this Brown felt like he was struck by lightning, and then suddenly retorted: "No way, you think it is 50 million sperm. If he says it will be accounted for, it will be accounted for!"
"Haha."
Bellamy sneered again, and then replied: "To tell you the truth, he came to my jurisdiction. I don't know what method he used to get it from a company. This 50 million, oh yes, according to my people's report, this 50 million is just a guarantee. The exact amount is still unknown."
"But fortunately, it is in my territory. I have just monitored the company's funds. Otherwise, you and I might be dying without knowing it!"
After hearing these words, Brown seemed to have been drained of all his strength. There was a sudden feeling of powerlessness.
Because he knew that it was impossible for Bellamy to make this call specifically to deceive him.
This thing must be true!
His current tax performance is only over 84 million, and by the end of the assessment period it will probably be over 100 million or more.
But David’s current tax performance is about 70 million. Once the 50 million funds are accounted for, it will be 120 million.
And Bellamy also said just now that 50 million is just a guaranteed number, and it might be even more.
He originally thought that as long as his tax performance exceeded 100 million, the plan to create a god would be stable. Looking at it now, he was still too happy too early.
At the Long Beach branch, Bellamy breathed a sigh of relief when he heard no sound coming from the other end of the phone for a long time.
Of course, vent your anger, and things still have to be resolved.
Then he spoke again: "Tax Commissioner Brown, although he doesn't know how he got this huge amount of money, fortunately it is on my territory, and I have asked him to get it first. A sum of funds has been frozen, and things may not be turning around..."
At the Manhattan branch, Brown suddenly came back to his senses after hearing this. He replied excitedly: "Tax Commissioner Bellamy, you It’s the right thing to do and freeze the funds first!”
He also realized that as long as the funds did not flow into David’s account, there would still be room for manipulation!
"But even though I can freeze the funds in my territory, he will definitely report it to the General Administration, so you have to figure out what to do in advance!"
Brown was silent. After a while, he replied: "Deputy Director Donald at the General Administration and Director Obadiah think highly of him. This is a bit difficult... and once this matter is reported to them, we will definitely not be able to take advantage of it." It's reasonable, unless there is a defensible attack point for this fund..."
"The attack point... I may have a chance to find it, but..."
>Brown was shocked. After all, it was Bellamy's territory. Maybe he really had something to do. Then he replied: "Then I'll bother you, Chief Tax Officer Bellamy. If this thing comes true, I owe you one." A big favor!”
