Chapter 225: The high position offered by the CIA
“Bah, bang, bang, bang…”
After the opening remarks, warm applause erupted from below.
After the applause died down, David made a gesture to the staff on the big screen, and then the tax performance list appeared on the big screen.
The Rodgorski Group was dismantled before, and a total of 277 million in tax assets was confiscated from them. After that, the eight leaders and the surrenders of various criminal groups in the jurisdiction during this period were added. Therefore, During this assessment period, the Western Suburbs Branch recorded a total revenue of US$1.13 billion.
With 1.13 billion, it currently ranks third among major branches in the country in terms of tax performance, and second is the Queens Branch in New York, with a tax performance of 1.26 billion.
The first is the 1.7 billion for the Manhattan branch.
“Everyone has seen that the total tax performance of our Western Suburbs Branch has now risen to third place. This is an amazing result. In the next new assessment period, I hope we can reach the first position. , this will be an honor that belongs to our entire West Suburb Bureau!”
In fact, David’s use of the word ‘remarkable’ is a little understated. You know, before he took office in the West Suburb Bureau, The tax performance here in one assessment period is only 40-50 million, and its ranking is outside the top 20 in the country.
Not only has the ranking risen by more than a dozen places, but the tax performance has increased more than 20 times, which is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as a super god!
"Okay, let's take a look at the personal tax performance list!"
After saying that, the list was immediately replaced on the big screen, but what surprised David a little was that he hadn't paid attention to this list for so long. Well, the two at the front are actually old acquaintances.
Brown Soros, and Bellamy Hardy.
The former, Brown Soros, currently ranks first with a personal tax record of 168 million US dollars, while the latter, Bellamy Hardy, ranks second with 133 million US dollars.
Unexpectedly, after losing to him in the god-making plan, these two people did not just let it go, but continued to maintain the momentum of tax maniacs.
Of course, this is because David did not bear the taxes collected during this assessment period, otherwise he would still be able to squeeze these two people into second or third place and become the most dazzling person on the tax performance list!
But having said that, with his current status, he is already the most dazzling star in the IRS system, and he does not need the blessing of tax performance on the tax performance list.
As for Brown Soros and Bellamy Hardy, although they are also stars of the IRS, compared with him now, it can be said that they are not on the same level in terms of status and prestige. Yes.
If David were to compare himself with these two people, he would be somewhat degrading himself.
……
Because David specifically asked Nissenbach, Simons and others to have more tax performance, in this assessment period, they were ranked 11th, 15th, and 18th respectively on the personal tax performance list, and those from Lake District Several team members who came nearby also entered 30 because of David's glory.
As for the inspectors under the tax chief, they also benefited from it and achieved good results.
After praising these people and distributing the public funds obtained, the assessment period meeting came to an end.
"Okay, I hope everyone will continue to work hard in the new round of assessment period. Let's adjourn the meeting!"
After saying that, the auditors on the scene stood up one after another and left the conference hall in an orderly manner. , and soon only David Hakeem, Lewis, Keanu and other senior executives were left on the scene.
David motioned for them to gather around, and then asked: "The Oscar ceremony will be held tomorrow. Are all aspects of work ready?"
"My department is ready."
"My department is also ready."
"There is no problem on my side."
Everyone answered in unison.
David nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, let's do something big tomorrow night!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look forward to it.
The Oscar Awards ceremony is not only the focus of attention across the United States, but is also broadcast in more than 200 countries and regions around the world.
And if the IRS steps in tomorrow, what kind of reaction will it cause?
I’m afraid it will cause a global sensation!
...
After returning to the office, David picked up his cell phone and dialed Donald's number. For such a big matter, the higher-ups at the headquarters must be informed first.
"David, I was just about to call you. A message came from the White House. The president is very satisfied with your performance in the first evaluation period after taking office. He hopes you will continue to work hard!"< br>
As soon as the call was connected, Donald's hearty voice came over there.
David was not too surprised. As soon as he took office, he collected 1.1 billion US dollars in taxes. It was strange that the president was not satisfied. Then he replied: "I will do it, Vice President Donald." Director.”
"Oh, by the way, you must have something to call me, right?"
"Yes, regarding the Hollywood tax audit operation, our bureau has been almost ready for this period of time, and I plan to do it tomorrow. Do it!”
“Tomorrow? Okay, just do it!”
Donald didn’t know that David wanted to do it at the Oscar ceremony, so he agreed without thinking.
"That's right, Deputy Director Donald. Isn't the Oscar ceremony held tomorrow night? I mean, I plan to do it at the ceremony!"
Donald in the Washington General Administration office was stunned when he heard this. He didn't pay much attention to entertainment news, and he didn't know that tomorrow was the day of the Oscar ceremony, but this didn't mean that he didn't know the influence of the Oscar. His face was solemn. Said: "David, the Oscars ceremony is a feast of global attention. If you take action at this ceremony, the sensation caused will be global..."
"I know Deputy Director Donald, but I think What our IRS wants is this effect. We can take this opportunity to use the Oscars as a platform to let our IRS show off its power in front of the world. Isn’t this another good publicity?”
Donald thought for a moment, Asked: "According to your point of view, since you dare to take action at the ceremony, you must have evidence of tax evasion by some people, right?"
"Of course, otherwise how could I dare to propose such a thing."
In fact, what evidence does David have now? He doesn't even know which movie stars are suspected of tax evasion.
But it doesn't matter, he has a plug-in. As long as he goes to the venue tomorrow, he will naturally know everything!
"Are you sure you are really sure? If this goes wrong, our IRS will be in big trouble!"
Arresting people at such a big ceremony as the Oscars, if this is true It's okay to say that it works, but if it goes wrong, and those big names have so many fans, won't global public opinion immediately target the IRS?
“Of course I am sure Deputy Director Donald, I dare to guarantee it with my life!”
Donald was silent again, this time for a full two minutes, before he said with a stern face: "If that's the case, then I believe you, just go ahead and leave the rest to me!"
"Understood, Deputy Director Donald!"
"..."
The call ended. David was just about to research which big names would be there tomorrow, but then the landline phone rang. I could only answer it first: "What's the matter?"
"Director, Director Elvis of the CIA has come to our place and said he wants to see you. Do you have time to see him now?"
< br>David showed a hint of doubt when he heard this, but he still replied: "Okay, then bring him over."
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and then Elvis walked in and said with a smile: "Director David, congratulations on your outstanding achievements in this evaluation period."
"Thank you, By the way, Director Elvis came here in person not just to congratulate me, right?”
“Yes”
Elvis sat upright. Looking directly at David, he asked: "I wonder if Director David is interested in being transferred to our CIA?"
Some time ago, David caught the four spies assigned to him, and finally they passed Significant results were achieved after the interrogation, which also excited many senior CIA officials.
After the CIA executives learned that David had caught these spies, they started to poach them, so they sent them here today to lobby.
David was startled, and he asked why Elvis came to him. It turned out that he got a taste of the spies.
But then again, he has a promising future in the IRS system and is doing well. Why would he go to the CIA?
Go to poverty alleviation?
He can't do such a stupid thing!
Thinking of this, he replied: "No, catching spies is just my side job. My specialty is taxation, so I thank you director for your kindness."
Hearing this, El Weiss was not surprised. He still said calmly: "Whether it is catching spies or collecting taxes, they are basically the same. Forget it, let's not talk about it. In fact, this time, I am here on behalf of our director. , What he means is that if you are willing to come, you will be directly appointed as the assistant director and take charge of the Intelligence Department!"
Hearing this, David's pupils suddenly shrank. CIA is mainly divided into four departments, Operations Department, Intelligence Department, Science and Technology Department and Management Department.
Among them, the Intelligence Department is the most important, because the CIA started its business by engaging in intelligence.
As for the so-called assistant director, he is the highest official besides the director, assistant deputy director, deputy director of the administrative department, and quasi-administrative deputy director.
Ranked fifth in the entire CIA system and belongs to the core senior figures of the CIA.
However, in order to invite him to join the CIA, the director of the CIA actually gave him such an important position?
This did surprise David at first glance.
In fact, let alone David, even Elvis was surprised when he heard that their director made this decision, but he figured it out later.
First of all, the power of the IRS is much greater than that of the CIA.
Now that David has been promoted to the director of the promising western suburbs bureau, it can be expected that entering the DC General Bureau is a certainty.
The CIA can only give an absolutely high position, which may be able to impress David.
Otherwise, why would David be willing to come to the CIA if he was on the same level or promoted one or two levels?
"We at the CIA are trying our best to be sincere. What do you think, Director David?"
"Go back and tell your director, thank you for his kindness, I have no plans to leave the IRS for the time being."
David thought for a while, but finally refused.
He is now the director of the Western Suburbs Bureau. If he becomes the assistant director of the CIA, he will definitely be considered a high promotion.
But first of all, comparing the CIA and the IRS, the former is definitely not as promising as the latter.
Secondly, serving as the Assistant Director of the CIA means that he can no longer enjoy the spotlight as he does now at the IRS.
The CIA's operating style is to keep a low profile, like a leopard walking in the night.
At that time, no matter how great his achievements are, I am afraid it will only be spread internally, and outsiders will not know what he has done.
This is not what he wants and wants to pursue now.
Elvis was stunned. He did not expect that this position that countless people in the United States wanted to get would be so easily rejected by David.
After a while, he recovered and asked again: "Director David, this is the assistant director in charge of the Intelligence Division. Don't you need to think about it?"
"No need. As I said, I may not be qualified for this position. Taxation work is more suitable for me."
These words made Elvis a little speechless, and you found out with this effort. He captured nine spies lurking in the Los Angeles area. If he took charge of the Intelligence Division and had such huge resources as this department, wouldn't spies in other areas be easily captured?
Does this mean you are not qualified for this position?
Of course, Elvis knew that this was just David's excuse, but since he didn't want to, he had no choice but to stand up and say, "Okay, Director David, if you have any ideas, If so, you can call me anytime.”
“Yes.”
...
The next night, the Dolby Theater was like a bright pearl inlaid on Hollywood Boulevard, where the 93rd Oscar Awards ceremony was held tonight.
As night falls, the exterior of the theater looks more solemn and elegant under the light. Fans and media reporters gather on both sides of the red carpet, looking forward to the arrival of Hollywood celebrities.
"Hello everyone, this is the BBC. Welcome to the 93rd Academy Awards. The big names will be there soon. Please stay tuned."
"Hello everyone, this is Cable. TV station, the Oscar winner will be announced tonight, let’s see who will win in the end.”
"..."
Because this award is the most authoritative and professional film award in the world, it is also the most influential film award in the world.
As a result, it attracted broadcasts from more than 200 countries and regions, so naturally there were countless media reporters who came to the scene.
7pm sharp.
With the appearance of Will Smith, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Hugh Coleman, Big Cousin, Widow Sister, Robert Downey Jr. and many other big names, the scene instantly aroused cheers. .
The invited movie stars arrived at the scene and showed off their dresses and walked the red carpet under the cameras of photographers and media.
This process lasted for almost an hour. It was not until 8 o'clock that all the invited celebrities entered the theater, and the Oscar feast officially began!
"Dear gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the 93rd Academy Awards ceremony. I announce that the ceremony will now officially begin..."
As the host of this year's Oscars Enter Regina King, a talented actress, director and producer who has appeared in films such as "Heaven Can Wait" and "American Gigolo" and is best known for her role in "If Beale Street Could Talk" "" won the 68th American Film and Television Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in the Television Category.
While the host is conducting the opening ceremony.
What no one noticed was that in an area on the right side of the second floor, several figures quietly came here and sat down.
“This Oscar Awards Ceremony is so grand!”
It was David and his entourage who came to this day, and it was Nissen who expressed this emotion. They were about to show off in the meeting, and right now he was extremely excited.
"Really impressive"
David crossed his legs and looked around with interest, then finally turned his attention to the invited celebrities, one by one The review began.
...
The Oscars in the early stage usually focus on some minor awards such as Best Editing and Sound Effects, which make people watch lackluster. It was not until more than two hours later that the main event came.
Now I announce, the Best Actor at the 93rd Oscar, Anthony Hopkins! ”
As soon as the result came out, thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the venue.
David on the stage also withdrew his scrutinizing gaze at this moment and applauded.
This is not the first time that Anthony Hopkins has won the Oscar for Best Actor.
As early as 1991, he won it once with the movie "Silence of the Lambs".
In this movie, his acting skills are superb and breathtaking. It is not unexpected to win the Best Actor again now.
But the reason why David applauded him was not because of his acting skills. The main reason was that this veteran actor was indeed upright and upright and had no major tax problems. This was why he deserved his applause.
After the host announces the list.
Anthony Hopkins came to the stage, gave a profound acceptance speech, and walked down with the statuette.
The host then announced: "I declare that the best actress is Frances McDormand!"
Frances McDormand, this He is also a veteran actor in Hollywood.
Like Anthony, she also won the Oscar for Best Actress in 1996 for "Ice and the Furious", and this is the second time she has won this award.
Frances McDormand came to the stage and spoke: "First of all, I want to thank..."
After a ten-minute acceptance speech, she bowed and walked off the stage.
The host Regina King took over the venue again, and after more than ten minutes of speeches, announced: "This Oscar Awards Ceremony is over. Thank you everyone for your support. Come, thank you!”
The host finished.
On the second floor, Nissen immediately asked for instructions: "Director, can we take action?"
David did not speak and nodded slightly.
Neeson immediately shouted through the headset: "Action!"
