Chapter 204 Arrival and deployment
Los Angeles, in a warehouse in the western suburbs branch.
"Boss. I heard that the new director of the IRS who will take office tomorrow is a ruthless character. Should we restrain ourselves temporarily?"
"Yes, boss, this guy named David It's a bit cruel. Wasn't it in the news some time ago? There was an Indian tribe who played hard with him. As a result, this guy drove tanks, armored vehicles, and fighter jets directly into the tribe, beating them until they cried for father and mother, and finally... You have to be careful when you take a bunch of people to court and get harsh sentences!”
“I also watched his press conference yesterday. Although the new director said in front of everyone that he wanted to deal with Hollywood! Launch a large-scale operation, but they will definitely not let us people go..."
"..."
This is a criminal gang specializing in smuggling.
At this time, most members of the gang are worried about David's arrival tomorrow.
Hearing that his subordinates were all afraid of the new director, the man known as the boss also frowned.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Starting tomorrow, the freight transportation will be reduced by half. In addition, heavy trucks will be replaced and light trucks will be used for multiple deliveries to keep a low profile."
"Yes."
In addition to this smuggling gang, at this moment, all the criminal gangs in the entire western suburbs are also discussing countermeasures for the arrival of the new director David.
After learning about the new director's previous skills and feats, some people also planned to take the same approach as the previous smuggling gang, wanting to keep a low profile first.
Some gangs think that David is just a powerful dragon, and he is a powerful dragon that has just arrived and has no foundation at all. How can it be possible to overpower local snakes like them?
So these gangs have no intention of keeping a low profile and intend to continue to do their own thing.
In this way, the time came to 6 o'clock in the morning the next day.
Leticia came to the hotel and drove David to Dulles International Airport.
"Goodbye Director David, I wish you all the best in the western suburbs branch."
"Goodbye Leticia."
The two said goodbye, and then Dai Wei walked into the terminal and half an hour later followed the announcement to check in and board the plane, heading towards Los Angeles.
The distance between Washington and Los Angeles is about the same as that of Las Vegas. They are both more than 3,700 kilometers away. After five hours of flight, the plane had already entered the airspace of Los Angeles.
Since he had been here once before, David was no longer unfamiliar with the city this time, and he did not put his head in front of the window to look down at the city. Such an old man was sitting there waiting for the plane to land.
Ten minutes later, the plane landed at Ontario International Airport, which is the airport closest to the western suburbs branch. After getting off the plane and coming to the lobby, a man in a black windbreaker immediately waved to David. David also walked up and stretched out his hand: "Hello, tax inspector Hakeem."
This is a tax inspector with acceptable abilities in the western suburbs branch. David was checking on him the night before. After reviewing his information, we finally decided to keep him.
And just last night, he volunteered to call and said he would come to pick up the plane this morning.
"Hello, Director David!"
Hakim also extended his hand and shook it, then looked at David curiously for a few more times, and finally made a gesture of invitation: "Let's get in the car first. ”
David followed him to the gate of the airport, got into a Toyota Overlord, and started to return towards the western suburbs branch.
"Director David, this is Melrose Avenue, one of the main avenues in our western suburbs. It contains shopping streets, plazas, star hotels and other facilities..."
"Opposite There is the Shimili Business District, the main financial center in our western suburbs, which contains the headquarters of many large enterprises and financial companies..."
"That's Rodeo Drive, known as the "Celebrity Wardrobe." This avenue has the status of "the world's most prosperous and expensive shopping avenue." It is also known as one of the top ten shopping paradises in the world. In addition, due to its proximity to Hollywood stars We live in Beverly Hills, so it’s normal to meet celebrities here.”
“…”
On the way to the western suburbs branch, Hakeem was by his side. While driving the vehicle, he explained to David the main roads and conditions in the area, and David nodded while observing.
However, it must be said that although the western suburbs are not as prosperous as the Long Beach area, if compared with the Lake District, it is simply a world of difference.
“Hey Director David, in front is the Avenue of Stars, which is also the location of our branch.”
Five minutes after Hakim finished speaking, the vehicle came to a stop at the foot of an eight-story building.
The exterior wall of this building is made of dark gray high-grade stone, which is smooth and hard, shining with a metallic luster in the sun. The lines of the building are simple and smooth, without unnecessary decoration, and every detail All have been carefully polished to show the delicacy and grandeur of modern architecture.
On the upper edge of the door of the building, there is the IRS badge symbolizing fairness and authority.
Looking at this branch building, and comparing it with the branch building in the Lake District, David suddenly felt a shocking feeling that he suddenly came to the city from the countryside and saw the high-rise buildings here.
“Is this the Western Suburbs Bureau that will be under my control from today on?”
David felt a little expectant and a little excited, but when the car stopped and Hakim opened the door, his thoughts came back to reality.
“When Director David arrives, the city’s Director Felton, the state director João, and the bureau’s Deputy Director Muriel are already waiting for you.”
David I immediately got out of the car and realized that there were many media around. As soon as they saw David arriving, they immediately surrounded him with microphones.
"Director David, today is your first day in office. Will you launch action against Hollywood today?"
"Director David, since you made your remarks the day before yesterday, you will be targeting Hollywood. After Hollywood launched a tax audit, the stock prices of major Hollywood film companies plummeted. What is your comment? ”
"Director David..."
"..."
"I'm sorry everyone, our director has just arrived and has a lot of work to deal with. We don't have time to be interviewed now. Sorry... "
Hakim waved to the bureau as he spoke. Soon a dozen inspectors rushed out and forcibly separated the media reporters. Only then did David walk away unimpeded. Entered the hall.
As soon as we entered the lobby, a middle-aged man in a gray suit came up to us and said, "Director David, welcome to your post. I am Joao, Director of the California Internal Revenue Service."
"Hello, Chief João."
"Director David, I am Los Angeles City Chief Felton."
"Hello, Chief Felton."
Following these two people, a short man in his early forties, wearing glasses and looking polite, also walked up and stretched out his hand: "Director David, welcome to your arrival. I am Muriel, the deputy director of the bureau.”
“Hello, deputy director Muriel.”
In the following time, David shook hands with other tax inspectors, deputy tax inspectors, and tax chiefs in the bureau one by one.
Although these people welcomed his arrival on the surface, David noticed through their words and deeds that everyone seemed to be a little unhappy with him.
But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.
This time because of his appointment, the entire Western Suburbs Bureau underwent an unprecedented purge, and many of these people must be confidants or friends of the tax inspectors, deputy tax inspectors, and even the tax chief. , it’s strange that these people can treat him well.
"Well, Chief David, I have a meeting to hold, so I'll leave first."
"Our city bureau also has something to deal with, so I'm going to say goodbye to Director David first."
Felton João was originally here to go through the motions and welcome David, the god-making project's candidate. He's just the director. Now that the cutscene is over, he naturally won't stop any longer.
“Alright, two directors, you’ll be busy first.”
David sent the two of them to the door, then returned to Muriel and said, “Muriel Deputy Director, please let me know the overall situation. At 2 o'clock, everyone will come to the conference hall."
"Okay, Director David."
David walked up to Hakeem and said, "Inspector Hakeem, please take me to see my office."
"Please follow me, Chief David."
< br>Hakim took David into the elevator and went all the way to the top floor, which is the eighth floor. He walked to an office door at the deepest part of the corridor, then opened the door and said, "Director David, this is yours." "The office." David walked in and saw that the interior was simple and elegant, with a spacious desk neatly placed with computers, documents and stationery, and several abstract art paintings hanging on the walls. The most eye-catching thing is the American flag on the wall behind the desk.
On the other side of the office are several transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. If you look closer, you can see the city scenery outside through the windows.
"Not bad."
David was quite satisfied with this office, and then turned to Hakeem and said: "Hakeem, tax inspector, please help me sort out all the major cases in our jurisdiction. The information... Oh, yes, including the ones that have been filed, please send it to me."
"Okay, Director David."
Bucky Nissen-Simmons and the others. Many of them have families and have already settled in the lake area, so we communicated with him yesterday that they would not be able to report here until around 12 o'clock.
And David also planned to wait for them to arrive and then bring them together to appear in front of the overall situation.
Soon after, Hakeem sent in the prepared case information, and David looked at it carefully.
Another hour later, there was a knock on the office door, and David replied without raising his head: "Come in."
The next second, Bucky Nissen and others Seven people pushed the door open and entered.
"Director, we are here."
Nissenbaki and others were wearing brand new suits today, and their faces were filled with various expressions of joy.
"The suits are nice."
David stared at the brand-new suits of several people and joked.
“Hey, I made this on a rush, and it cost 2,000 dollars.”
For Nissen, 2,000 dollars is not a small amount, but this time he was promoted But for the tax chief, and having to appear in front of everyone in the entire western suburbs branch, the money spent is definitely worth it.
"How's it going? Is everyone settled in?"
Neeson replied: "Simmons and I haven't found a suitable house yet. Let's stay in a hotel for now and look for it slowly."
"Giggle..."
While talking, the door opened again. The sound was knocked, and David shouted: "Come in."
This time it was Keanu and Lewis who came in. Nissenbaki and others were no strangers to these two people, but They were still a little surprised to see these two people appearing here.
"Oh, by the way, I will tell you that Lewis was transferred by me to serve as the tax inspector in our bureau. As for Keanu, he will serve as the other vacant deputy director of our bureau."
After hearing David's words, the expressions of Nissenbaki and others who were still happy suddenly froze, and a sense of jealousy arose in their hearts.
They followed Niweiwei regardless of life and death, but they made great contributions and were promoted to tax chief.
The contribution of these two people is definitely not as great as theirs. Suddenly being promoted to such a high position will naturally make them feel a little unbalanced.
David saw what these people were thinking and explained: "Lewis served as deputy tax inspector in Detroit. This time he was transferred to be the tax inspector. There is no problem with the procedure, but Keanu Tax The inspector has already served as a tax inspector in the main district, and the same applies to being transferred to the position of deputy director. You just need to work hard. When the time comes, I will ensure that you are promoted. "
Nissenbaki and others. After all, he is his confidant, so he cannot let them feel cold.
After hearing these words, Nissenbaki and others felt much better, and they also came back to their senses.
Because David is right. Although Keanu and Lewis have been promoted to high positions, they have only been promoted by one level.
And if they want to be promoted from inspector to tax inspector, not to mention tax inspector, even if they want to be promoted to deputy tax inspector, it will be two levels in a row, and this two-level promotion situation , without major contributions and special circumstances, it is not easy to handle the program.
From David's perspective, it is reasonable to first bring them up to the tax chief and then gradually move up the ranks, and it is not about suppressing them.
Wanting to understand this, Nissen immediately replied: "We understand the director."
Seeing that the two sides were almost done talking, Keanu stood up and said: "Director David, thank you very much for transferring me here."
"Director David, me too, thank you very much for remembering me." I, transfer me over."
Lewis followed closely and said gratefully.
"We are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite. You also know that I have no foundation here, and I will still need your help in the future."
"Don't worry, Director David. , I said before, since you transferred me here, I will do my best.”
"Me too!"
The two of them promised.
David nodded, and then picked up the phone: "Hakim Tax Inspector, please help me arrange for some people to come over and take our newly arrived deputy directors, tax inspectors, and tax chiefs first. Get familiar with your office.”
Soon, the people arranged by Hakim came to the office and took Keanu Lewis and others out.
In the following time, the people David had poached from various municipal bureaus in Nevada also arrived one after another. It was not until the time was approaching two o'clock that everyone headed towards the conference hall on the seventh floor.
Because the total staff of the Western Suburbs Branch is more than twice that of the Lake District Branch, the area of the conference hall here is also twice that of the Lake District Branch.
When David and others arrived here, almost all the inspectors, tax chiefs, tax inspectors, and personnel from various departments were already in place.
Since he stepped here, everyone's eyes have been focused on him, constantly sizing up this new director who has many powerful achievements.
Since he has experienced the baptism of many big shots and big media at the General Administration, David naturally does not feel much nervous when facing the attention of these people.
He strode to the front of the stage and said into the microphone: "Good afternoon, colleagues from the Western Suburbs Branch. I am your new director. I believe you have already known me through various channels. So I won’t introduce myself too much here.”
"Next, I will introduce the newly arrived deputy directors, tax inspectors, and tax chiefs."
After saying that, Keanu Lewis, Buckinson and others came to the stage one by one.
They have not been baptized by the General Administration, so it can be seen that both Keanu and Lewis are quite nervous at this time.
David first walked up to Keanu, pointed at him and said: "This is the new deputy director of our western suburbs branch. Come on, let our deputy director Keanu introduce himself."< br>
Keanu suppressed his inner nervousness and came to the microphone and said: "Hello everyone, my name is Keanu. I previously worked in the Las Vegas Main Street Bureau. I am honored to be transferred to the Western Suburbs Bureau. Serving as the deputy director of such a large branch..."
After Keanu finished the introduction, David pointed to Lewis and said: "This is our new tax inspector Lewis. From now on, he will lead the work of 12345, five inspection teams. Come, let our tax inspector Lewis introduce himself to you." "
Lewis also walked to the microphone and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Lewis. I previously worked in Detroit. I am very happy to be transferred to a large branch like the Western Suburban Bureau to serve as a tax collector. Inspector, I hope you can give me more advice in the coming days..."
In the following time, David introduced the other new deputy inspectors one by one, as well as Buckinson and other inspectors. Elders.
These people also came to the microphone one by one and introduced themselves with their names, previous resumes and other information.
After everyone was introduced, David returned to the microphone and said loudly: "I know that this personnel change may make everyone a little dissatisfied, but there is no way. With such a large platform, the tax performance of each assessment period can be so dismal, someone must be held responsible for this.”
“As for these people being cleared out, the newly appointed leadership and I hereby guarantee that we will lead everyone to make the platform of the Western Suburbs Branch occupy its rightful place in the IRS system, and even create glory that belongs to everyone. Achievement! ”
As a leader, pie painting is an essential skill.
But what must be said is that David’s cake is different from others. With cheats, he definitely has the ability to realize it.
"Pa bang bang..."
Keanu and others on the stage took the lead in applauding, and the inspectors below were also led to cheer enthusiastically. of applause.
After a while, David continued: "Okay, the new round of assessment period has started in three days. Due to the huge personnel changes in our western suburbs branch, the time has been delayed these days. Let me explain to you. My general deployment..."
