Chapter 203 Cultivating one’s own confidants
“Lewis, you have a phone.”
The voice in his ear brought Lewis out of his thoughts, and he reached out to take his wife He handed over the mobile phone, but his expression was suddenly shocked when he saw the caller ID on it.
Because the caller ID was David's number.
Thousands of thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he pressed the answer button immediately: "Hello, David... Director?"
"It's me, Deputy Tax Inspector Lewis. How are you doing? Are you going well with your work in Detroit recently?"
Hearing the greeting from David on the other end of the phone, Lewis' face suddenly tightened.
Although the city of Detroit has a high crime rate, it is very beneficial to their IRS black tax bill.
However, this is only a benefit at work.
But in terms of life, it is a kind of torture for him and his wife.
For example, when he first arrived, his wife was often pickpocketed and robbed by gangsters because she was not familiar with the city.
In just over two months since he took office here, he has already moved three times.
Why is this?
The reason is that fights and shootings often occurred in the area where he lived before. In the end, he ended up in a remote area by the Detroit River in the south end of the city, which was a little quieter.
In short, everything in this city makes Lewis and his wife feel terrible. Now he even feels that if he had not been promoted to deputy tax inspector, it would be quite good to be a tax chief in the Lake District.
"Are you listening, Lewis?"
The voice on the other end of the phone made Lewis, who was in a daze, quickly come back to his senses. He replied: "Yes, I saw you mentioned Detroit in today's press conference. You should know a lot about this city, and my work here is indeed going smoothly, but... forget it."
David heard the trouble in Lewis's words, and then got straight to the point. Said: "This is the case Lewis, you also know that I am about to take office as the director of the western suburbs branch. I have no foundation there, so I want to transfer some people I am familiar with, so I want to ask you, are you willing? Come here?”
The reason why David thought of transferring Lewis was mainly for two reasons.
First, as he said, he has no foundation in the Western Suburbs Bureau. When he first went there, there was no guarantee that those people would not ignore him or hinder him, so he had to install some of his own forces as soon as possible. Be able to control this branch.
Secondly, he had been working under Lewis for a long time and knew that this person had abilities and was not a loser who just eats nothing.
Here, Lewis, who was originally troubled by the living conditions in Detroit, his eyes immediately lit up after hearing this.
He had already guessed this possibility when he saw David's call before he picked up the call. Unexpectedly, he guessed it right.
He immediately replied with a trembling voice: "Yes, of course I am willing. I have wanted to leave this hellish place for a long time!"
It is true that he wants to leave Detroit, but The most important thing is that David wants to transfer him to the Western Suburbs Bureau.
And the western suburbs branch is under the jurisdiction of the super city Los Angeles!
Even if he is transferred at the same level, it is equivalent to being promoted!
After all, the value of a deputy tax inspector here in Detroit and a deputy tax inspector in Los Angeles cannot be compared.
"In that case, I will take office the day after tomorrow. If you can come as soon as possible, please come as soon as possible. I am still in Washington. You don't have to worry about the procedures. I can help you by following the process. Done.”
“Don’t worry, Chief David, I won’t say it’s the day after tomorrow, I’ll be here tomorrow”
The one being transferred now is the Los Angeles Western Suburban Bureau. Let alone the day after tomorrow, even if Lewis were asked to pack his luggage and set off immediately, he would not hesitate at all.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, just arrive the day after tomorrow. There will definitely be a meeting then, and we'll make an appearance together."
"Okay, oh that's right..."
Lewis suddenly remembered something and asked cautiously: "After I am transferred to the Western Suburbs Branch, will I continue to serve as deputy tax inspector?"
"Deputy tax inspector? Tax inspector!"
< br>
"Ah?"
Lewis' brain suddenly felt a little lack of oxygen, and his breathing became rapid.
"The Western Suburbs Branch has eliminated many people because of poor performance in several assessment periods. I transferred you to be directly responsible for the tax inspection."
After receiving the confirmation, Lewis jumped up from his chair, and his face was as rosy as an apple
He had just been promoted to deputy tax inspector for more than two months. If there were no major political achievements, according to normal procedures, there would be no one. Don't expect to be promoted to tax inspector in three to five years.
If you are not very lucky, you might be able to work in this position until you retire.
Who would have thought that today, more than two months later, he would be promoted to tax inspector.
And he is also a tax inspector in a huge city like Los Angeles. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that smoke is coming out of ancestral graves.
Of course, he knew very well that this was not the smoke rising from the ancestral grave, but the support of David. He immediately thanked him excitedly: "Director David, you trust me too much. Not only They transferred me to the Xijiao Branch and even appointed me as a tax inspector. I really... really don’t know what to say.”
“No need to say anything, just do a good job after taking office. As you know, Lewis, I boasted in front of the media that I would exceed the more than 200 million I received in the Lake District Branch.”
"Don't worry, Director David, I will do my best to raise taxes for the Western Suburbs Branch!"
Lewis also immediately patted his chest to show his loyalty.
"Okay, so be it, I still have a lot to do."
"Goodbye Director David."
"Wahahahaha..."
After putting down the phone, Lewis looked up to the sky and laughed like crazy.
And his wife Debra was also shocked by the crazy laughter. She walked out immediately and asked with a confused look: "What's wrong with you Lewis?"
< br>"Debra, I have great news for you, we can move!"
"Moving? Where?"
"How about Los Angeles!"
"What, are you serious?"
Debra covered her mouth with disbelief on her face.
“Of course it’s true. I used to lead an inspector in the Lake District branch, named David. He has now been promoted to the director of the western suburbs branch of Los Angeles. He promoted me to be a tax inspector!”
“What, tax inspector!”
Debra, who was already shocked, was shocked again when she heard that her husband was promoted to tax inspector.
"Debra, haven't you always been fed up with everything about this city? Not only is the security in Los Angeles much better, but it also has a pleasant climate and beautiful beaches, hehe..."
"That's great. Lewis!”
Debra rushed up and hugged Lewis, and the two embraced and celebrated.
……
Four Seasons Hotel, Washington.
After deciding on the candidate for a tax inspector, David began to think about the candidate for the deputy director.
As mentioned before, the Western Suburban Bureau has two deputy directors. In addition to a confidant of the former director who was transferred, there is also another deputy director, Muriel Dickey.
Although this deputy director is not a confidant of the former director, through data observation, he has served as the deputy director of the Western Suburbs Bureau for several years, and now taking advantage of the great purge of the bureau to take power, he must also He has a lot of say in the bureau.
Therefore, David also had to transfer one of his own people to serve as another deputy director, so as to divide the voice of Muriel Dickey.
So who should be transferred?
After thinking about it for a while, David felt that the Guxin tax inspector of the Lake District Bureau was actually quite suitable, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally gave up the idea.
After all, the Lake District is where I started my career. Taking Nissenbaki and the others to the western suburbs branch is already considered poaching.
It would be a bit embarrassing if the tax inspector Gu Xin was poached again.
And this may also make William unhappy. He doesn't want to make everyone unhappy.
“That’s right!”
Suddenly, David thought of another candidate. He thought about it again, and after confirming that this candidate was suitable, he finally took out his mobile phone and checked his address book.
Las Vegas, in a bar on the main street.
“Damn it, in the history of our IRS, no one has been promoted from an auditor to a branch director in more than two months, or a branch director like Los Angeles, this David is really enviable!”
“It’s more than just envy. I’m almost jealous to death. Why wasn’t I the one who was promoted to the Western Suburbs Branch Director? Even if he wasn’t the Director, he put me on the same level. I am also very willing to be transferred to serve as a tax chief!”
“Oh, by the way, Inspector Keanu, didn’t our block and David cooperate on three major cases before? You are quite familiar with him. He has been promoted to the Los Angeles branch director. Have you never thought about... asking him to help you?"
In the booth, the tax chief, deputy tax inspectors and tax inspectors of the main street branch were drinking and chatting, and Keanu was also among them.
Faced with the ridicule of another tax inspector in the bureau, Keanu picked up the beer on the table and took a sip. He smiled bitterly and said: "We are familiar with each other, but that is only a cooperative relationship. We He's not even a friend, so how can he be embarrassed to be supported by others?"
"What's so embarrassing about this? Isn't there an idiom in China called 'self-recommendation'? He must be in a new place now. You want to cultivate your own power. If you take the initiative to recommend yourself, maybe they will agree."
When he heard this, Keanu's mind suddenly became active.
That's right.
David has no foundation at all in the Western Suburbs Bureau. If he takes up the post as a mere commander, then many things will definitely be difficult to deal with. Otherwise, he will be ousted by some indigenous forces in the bureau.
If he goes and recommends himself, he might actually have some fun.
As the tax chief said just now, even if the position remains unchanged after being transferred, since it is the Los Angeles branch, it can still be considered a promotion!
"Beep beep..."
Just when Keanu was feeling hot inside, the phone in his pocket forced him to break away from his thoughts, but when he took out his phone and saw the caller ID , his complexion suddenly changed unpredictably.
"What's wrong Keanu?" Everyone also saw something wrong with Keanu's expression.
“I’ll answer the phone first.”
After leaving these words, Keanu quickly came to the bathroom, sat on the toilet and pressed the button Answer button: "Director David?"
"This is Inspector Keanu. I'm sorry, I didn't disturb you so late, right?"
"No."
"That's good. This is how I'm looking for you this time. I want to ask you, are you interested in transferring to my western suburbs branch?"
The people in the Lake District are now too embarrassed for David to dig anymore, but he doesn’t care about so many people in the Main Street Bureau.
As for Keanu, he had cooperated with him in the three major cases. This person is indeed very capable, and he is as knowledgeable as Lewis. If he can be transferred to the Western Suburbs Bureau, he will definitely do it. Because of his obedience, he became his direct descendant.
Keanu and others were still discussing just now, saying that David had no foundation when he took office and needed to transfer some of his own people, but they thought they had guessed right.
Keanu suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied: "If it is Director David and you want to transfer me, then of course I am willing to go!"
This is the Los Angeles branch, who is it? You would be a fool not to go.
"That's good, but it's like this. You also know that the Western Suburbs Bureau is very large, and it has two deputy directors. There is currently a deputy director position vacant. I will transfer you here. , I want you to be the deputy director directly.”
“What, let me be the deputy director?”
Keanu originally thought that he was transferred at the same level, so how could he get Dai? Wei actually asked him to serve as deputy director, which made him excited and anxious at the same time.
Of course I was excited about the promotion, and the person who was promoted was the deputy director of a large branch like the Xijiao Branch.
What is uneasy is that after all, he is currently serving as the tax inspector of the Main Street Branch. He is worried that he will not be qualified to serve as the deputy director of such a large branch in the western suburbs. He will feel sorry for David if he is held back by that time. .
"Why don't you want to be inspected by Jinu?"
"Of course not. You also know that I have been in a small branch like this for many years in the main district, and I was suddenly transferred to the western suburbs. I'm afraid... I'm afraid... of going to such a big branch and serving as the deputy director..."
"Don't be afraid. Since I have found you, I believe in your ability. Just do it. Just help me handle the affairs in the bureau. You don’t have to worry about the tax performance!”
Keanu, who was still worried at first, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Of course he also watched David's media conference at the General Administration today, and knew that David had already boasted that the tax performance in the first assessment period after taking office in Haikou would definitely not be worse than that in the Lake District Bureau.
Therefore, he is worried that if this goal cannot be achieved, he will also take the blame.
But now that David says he doesn’t have to worry about tax results, why should he be worried?
He immediately agreed: "Since Director David has said so, I can only be respectful and obey your orders!"
"Okay, I will help you with all your procedures. I will officially take up my post in two days. If you say...can you make it in time?"
"In two days...it should be fine."
< br>"Then it's settled!"
"Goodbye Director David..."
After ending the call, Keanu's heart began to beat wildly.
That was the deputy director of the Western Suburbs Bureau. It was a position coveted by many tax inspectors across the country, but they didn't expect that he would get it so easily!
This sometimes hugs a thigh, which really saves ten years of detours!
This is the bar booth.
“Who do you think Keanu received a call from just now? Why does he look so excited?”
“It seems that he is indeed very excited. He won’t...answer it. Did you get David’s phone number?”
"David's phone call? It's really possible."
"He's back!"
The tax chief and tax inspectors of the Main Street Branch are still discussing Keanu's departure. At this time, a tax chief discovered that Keanu had returned to the bathroom.
At this time, Keanu's face was even redder than before, and the corners of his mouth had an irrepressible arc. Anyone could see the rippling mood in him at this moment.
“Sorry everyone, I have something to deal with and I have to go!”
Keanu didn't explain much to everyone, picked up his coat and left.
But at this moment, another tax inspector couldn’t hold himself back any longer. He grabbed Keanu and asked, “Keanu, the person who called you just now couldn’t really be David, right?” ?”
As soon as these words came out, the other tax chiefs and deputy tax inspectors also looked like they were listening.
Keanu thought for a while and realized that it was impossible to hide the news that he was going to be transferred to the western suburbs branch as deputy director, so he simply said: "That's right,"
Got it After confirmation, the tax inspector and others began to sit still.
The tax inspector asked again: "So, David is going to be transferred to the western suburbs branch?"
In fact, everyone had already guessed it from Keanu's expression, but now in order to Just confirm it once.
"Yes."
Keanu's reconfirmation made the expressions of several people present gradually become heated, and the tax inspector asked again: "Is it a transfer at the same level?"
“No, I will serve as the deputy director of the Western Suburbs Branch.”
"What! As the deputy director of the Western Suburbs Bureau?!"
All the staff in the Main Street Bureau felt their minds go blank, but soon, everyone's eyes turned red.
This is the fucking deputy director of the Los Angeles West Suburban Bureau!
The tax inspector who grabbed Keanu immediately said: "Keanu, please help me put in a nice word in front of Director David. I don't ask the deputy director to transfer me at the same level. It’s okay in the past. I promise that I will definitely obey him!”
“Inspector Keanu, please help me make a request to Chief David. I also want to be transferred to Los Angeles, and I don’t ask for promotion. , horizontal transfer is acceptable.”
"Inspector Keanu, you know my abilities. Please recommend me to Director David. I will definitely be able to make great contributions to him..."
"..."
< br>The people in the Main Street Bureau are not stupid. The platform limit in Los Angeles is much higher than that in Las Vegas, so even if they are transferred at the same level, they are still willing to do so.
"Okay, okay, I will help you talk to Director David, that's it..."
He will be leaving for his post in two days, and Keanu must deal with it. I have to hand over the work at hand, so I don't have time to follow everyone here.
……
Four Seasons Hotel, Washington.
David’s job of poaching people continues.
Because in order to attack the god-making plan before, he had dealt with the branch offices of various cities, and he was quite familiar with some of the tax inspectors and tax chiefs in these branches.
Therefore, he is not going to search on the intranet for the candidates who will be vacant next time, but is going to select among these people.
It wasn't until 1 o'clock in the morning that he finally finalized most of the candidates.
Finally, he called Nissen and others one by one and asked them to go to the Western Suburbs Branch to take up the post of tax chief in two days. After hearing that they were going to be the tax chief, Nissen and the others were overjoyed and immediately Agree.
At nine o'clock the next morning.
David came to Donald's office at the General Administration, submitted the finalized candidate information, and said: "Deputy Director Donald, this is the person I need to transfer."
Donald He nodded, but did not check. Instead, he picked up the landline phone and called his secretary, and said: "This is the personnel arrangement of the Western Suburbs Branch. Go and implement it."
"Okay sir."
After the secretary left, Donald said to David: "Your speech yesterday caused a lot of shock in Hollywood. According to the news I received, those major movies The company has been conducting tax, financial, and accounting reviews overnight."
David smiled and replied: "Since they are conducting various reviews overnight, doesn't it just prove that they have something up their sleeves? ”
“Of course, everyone knows how these film companies started in the early years, but it is very difficult to trace. I hope there will be progress after you take office.”
< br>It is certainly difficult for others to track down these film companies, but David has a plug-in, so he is not worried about the so-called difficulty.
In the following time, the two chatted for a long time about the deployment of the western suburbs branch and the situation in Hollywood.
Until the time reached 9.45, Donald’s secretary walked in and said: “As you expected Mr. Donald, as soon as the market opened, the stock prices of major Hollywood film companies began to plummet. .”
Donald was not surprised by this news, and the same was true for David sitting aside.
Yesterday he announced in front of so many media that he would launch a large-scale tax audit in Hollywood. It would be abnormal if the stock prices of these film companies did not plummet today.
After all, the entire United States knows how powerful the IRS is, and the IRS also has a huge deterrent effect on the stock market.
"Got it."
Donald replied, looked at David and said: "You will definitely be overwhelmed after you officially take office, so take advantage of the fact that you still have a day off today, and enjoy it."
David nodded to express his understanding, then said goodbye and returned to his hotel, continuing to read information about the area under the jurisdiction of the Western Suburbs Branch.
The sun sets in the west, the end of another day.
Nissenbaki and Lewis Keanu have arranged everything, packed their luggage, and are full of expectations to prepare to take up their posts at the Western Suburban Branch tomorrow.
On the Hollywood side, the major film companies and related personnel began to gradually raise their heartstrings, because David will take office tomorrow.
No one knows whether David, the new official, will burn the three flames after he takes office.
