Chapter 254: Save and Seize All Industries
Not long after, the proportions of the four options came out. Those who chose 1 accounted for 20%, those who chose 2 accounted for 30%, and those who chose 3 accounted for 4 50%, and those who chose 4 accounted for the least, only 50%.
It seems uneven, but actually it is understandable.
Even though Disney has a big business, judging from David's past methods, coupled with the blessing of various powers of the IRS, the chance of resisting the results and escaping sanctions is still too small.
Of course, David, who was still in the office at this time, didn’t know anything about what was happening on the social network.
Okanji had been brought in and was sitting across from him.
"Mr. Okanji, you must be well aware of the purpose of calling you here, and I don't want to make a big fight, so I will give you one last chance, just like other major film companies, follow my wishes If we pay the fines we should pay honestly, then we will all be in peace, otherwise..."
David did not continue, but the threat in his words could not be hidden.
In fact, with the evidence he has now, he can definitely enforce the law against Disney.
But after all, Disney is a giant in the domestic entertainment industry and has many media mouthpieces in its hands. If it does this, it will inevitably trigger some whirlpool of public opinion.
But summoning Disney now is different.
Our Western Suburbs Branch does not want to use violence. We will summon you to negotiate carefully and give you one last chance. If you, Disney, are still stubborn, then you can’t blame me, David, for taking coercive measures!
"Director David, we at Disney... don't know why the six major companies pay tax evasion fines, but our taxes are no problem!"
Okanji He secretly complained in his heart that if he could have made the decision, he would have taken advantage of the situation. Why would he have to bear the pressure of confronting the IRS?
But now the bosses behind him are unwilling to compromise like this, and naturally he dare not make good decisions.
"No problem, are you sure?"
Looking at David's calm and confident expression, Okanji felt frightened for a while, but gritted his teeth and replied: "Yes, Director David." , Our tax department has checked it from top to bottom, and there is indeed no problem!”
“Since you said there is no problem, then for the acquisition of 20th Century Film Company under Fuchs Group Company, among them What's going on? "
Hearing this, Okanji felt his scalp numb, and he knew that David would definitely bring this matter up.
“Speak!”
"It's really no problem. It's just an ordinary acquisition. It complies with all rules and procedures. We don't have an approval document. Do you need me to have someone send it over to Director David for you to take a look at?"
Seeing the other party Still pretending to be dumbfounded, David didn't hesitate anymore. He directly opened the cabinet below, took out a pile of documents, threw it on the table, and said: "In 2019, we obtained the approval of the regulatory authorities to use 71.3 billion There is no problem in completing the acquisition of 20th Century Film Company, a subsidiary of Fuchs Group, for US$100 million. "
"But we have reviewed the information of all parties in detail, as well as those major companies in the trial. I pointed out when talking to people that Fuchs Group’s market value was inflated due to false accounting, and its business was indeed on the rise at that time. Based on the market value at that time, it should be worth US$85.1 billion.”
“But if you really want to use the true acquisition price, then you will have to pay billions of dollars in acquisition taxes...”
Hearing this, Okanji’s face It has been a complete change.
As the vice president of Disney, he was certainly aware of the problems with the acquisition at that time.
If there was really no problem, they wouldn't be so panicked when this matter was brought up at the court hearing on the second day of the Oscar ceremony.
“But you are very smart and chose to make a net debt account for 20th Century Film Company on the grounds of repaying this net debt for 20th Century Film Company, so that you can avoid these tens of millions of dollars. The acquisition tax amount of 100 million, am I right, Mr. Okanji?”
The documents are in front of him, and David described it so clearly, how can Okanji refute now? It can only be a silent gesture.
"Mr. Okanji, there is now sufficient evidence that Disney is using its net debt to evade taxes. However, I am asking you to come here this time to give you a chance. I hope you can take advantage of it. Do you understand? ”
Okanji replied with a bitter look on his face: "Director David, you also know that I am just a part-time worker..."
"Don't tell me this. If you can't make the decision, call me now." Call your boss and ask him to give you an answer on this matter!”
“Okay!”
Okanji reluctantly took out his cell phone and dialed. Called a number: "Mr. Bennett, I am here with Director David now. We...have been found to have some problems..."
At the same time, in a luxury villa in New York, people were sunbathing. A white-haired old man sunbathing frowned and replied: "Give him the phone."
Okanji pushed the phone in front of David, and David took it without hesitation and said: "I'm David."
"Director David, my name is Bennett. Disney, Disney is one of my family’s industries!”
“Mr. Bennett, as your Vice President Okanji said, there is something wrong with your company’s accounts! , the amount of suspected tax evasion is as high as billions. What do you think about this? "
"Well... our company has a market value of more than 200 billion, and it is normal for us to have problems with our accounts. So, you give it to us? Let’s check it out in some time!”
“Why, does Mr. Bennett doubt the accounting ability of our IRS auditors?”
A sneer appeared on David's lips.
Disney’s legal department is known as the best legal department in the world. Give you time so that your legal department can quickly fix this loophole?
I really think I am a fool!
“No, no, no, I didn’t mean that, it’s just...”
“Don’t just Mr. Bennett, we have found out the amount of the accounts, and I know the insider trading involved. It is also clear that if there is any problem, we can go to court and fight with your legal department!”
"Director David, what do you mean by this?"
"It doesn't mean anything else. It just means that you, Disneyland, must give an explanation to our Western Suburbs Branch today."
"If What if I don’t give it?”
“The group, the park, the assets, the media...all the properties will be sealed until you agree to pay the tax evasion fines!”
Hearing David’s harsh words! His words made all the Robots on the side numb.
And Bennett on the other end of the phone didn't hear any more sounds for a long time.
A full minute passed before a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Young people should not be too arrogant when they gain power. You still need to learn the rules of the game in this country, and learn it well. Then you can continue to play. If you don't learn well, you may be Kendi!"
"Are you threatening me?"
David's face also darkened.
It is said that the boss behind Disney has a Jewish background, and now that the boss has brought up the example of Kennedy, it proves that the rumors are more or less accurate.
But having said that, if the person he was talking to on the phone now was someone from the Mogen family, then he might be wary.
Even though the boss behind Disney is a member of the Jewish people, he does not believe that he can occupy an important position in the Jewish people or the Masonic group.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the General Administration to send him over knowing that this situation might arise.
Furthermore, the current situation is basically an arrow on the string that has to be fired. Even if the opponent has a Yutai background, it is impossible for him to let it go!
This will destroy his character and career.
"I can't talk about threats. I'm just reminding you not to do things so cruelly."
"Oh, by the way, Director David, I also want to remind you that we at Disney are just There are 160,000 employees in the United States, and the total number of employees in the world is more than 220,000. "
"If you do this, it may be equivalent to cutting off the jobs of 160,000 people. If you dare to close down our jobs. With all the industrial assets, can you afford the subsequent responsibilities?"
At this point, Bennett's tone gradually became higher.
Let alone 160,000 employees, in the American social system, even protests and demonstrations caused by 1,000 employees losing their jobs would trigger a nationwide shock.
No matter how powerful you David or the IRS are, how dare you go against so many unemployed employees?
"Really? Then you see if I dare!"
Bennett was stunned. Originally, he thought that when he threw out the 160,000 chips, David There must be some scruples, but I didn't expect this bastard to be so tough.
With anger rising in his heart, he gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, very good, you young people really don't know how high the sky is, so let us take a good look at what will happen next!"
< br>The words fell and both parties hung up the phone at the same time.
Okanji, who was sitting next to him, was so frightened that his head shrank.
That’s all for the sake of it.
David definitely couldn't follow the phone line and do anything to Bennett, but he was still here.
He won't be detained directly, and then thrown into jail on some charges, right?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. In order to 'save his life', Okanji quickly explained: "Director David, this is my boss's decision, and I can't interfere in anything. So be it, I'll go back as soon as possible Choose to resign, you see..."
"It's really none of your business, you can leave!"
"Huh?"
Okanji was stunned. He never thought that David would let him go so easily.
Could it be that Chief David is showing kindness?
With no time to think too much, Okanji quickly retracted his thoughts, thanked him and hurried out of the director's office and walked out the door.
"Come out, the person in charge of Disney is out!"
"Brothers, the results of the quiz will be announced soon, let's see what the results are!"
" Judging from the expression on the person in charge, I think the talks with Director David must have broken down. It must be!”
Looking at the camera and seeing Okanji walking out of the bureau, the whole network was instantly excited. .
The media reporters did not dare to neglect and gathered around for interviews.
However, Okanji had no intention of being interviewed like the previous heads of major film companies. He got into his car and ran away.
At this time, not only the media reporters at the scene, but also the online audience were a little confused.
In the past, each of the six major film companies would be interviewed after the negotiation. Why is it Disney’s turn to be like this? Could it be...
Yes!
The deal must have broken down!
Only after the talks collapse, there is no need to speak to the public to appease people and the stock market!
"Xie Te, now we can eliminate the option of guessing the first place."
"Since the negotiation has collapsed, it is wonderful result 2. Disney will rely on its deep background , keep resisting!"
"Not necessarily! 3 is also possible!"
"There is also 4. Although everyone has chosen less 4, it is possible!"
It seems that Disney has guessed what it will do next. At this moment, the entire network is boiling again.
Everyone wants to see how Disney will choose to resist David and the IRS.
How will David and the IRS impose sanctions on Disney!
Western suburbs branch, David picked up the phone and dialed Donald's number.
"I've read the news reports. If you have any ideas, please tell me David."
Donald obviously saw Disney's reluctance through the news reports, so he was very straightforward when he received the call. asked.
“That’s right, Deputy Director Donald, I now have billions of funds that Disney used to avoid taxes through illegal means, and I have also talked with Disney’s representatives and the boss behind him. , it seems that they are not going to give in, so I plan to seal down their headquarters and all their businesses. What do you think? "
" Seize their headquarters and all their businesses? "< br>
Donald's heavy voice came from the other end of the phone, and then he said: "Disney has many industries and many employees. If this is the case, I am afraid it will cause a big repercussions... ”
"I know Deputy Chief Donald, so I'm going to do this..."
A few minutes later.
After listening, Donald replied: "According to what you said, this method is not bad, but this matter is not trivial. I think our General Administration will hold a high-level meeting to discuss it first!"
"Of course."
Washington, IRS, Donald hung up the phone and immediately asked his secretary to notify all senior officials to come to the conference room.
After everyone had gathered, with everyone watching, Donald spoke: "I believe you have also seen from the news that our Director David and Disney's representatives have broken down. What do you think?"
< br>"The six major Hollywood film companies have surrendered, but Disney is still holding on. It's really a tough nut."
"They rely on the fact that they are a giant in the domestic entertainment industry, and there are also people from Utah. Background, it’s normal to be self-confident.”
“What about the background of the Utahns? After the major film companies announced that they would pay a total of 8 billion US dollars in taxes, the whole country was elated, and the White House even sent us a letter. Praise, we are bound to win this Disney!”
“…”
As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts.
If it were in the past, considering the influence of Disney in all aspects, the IRS would still have to be more cautious.
But not long ago, the 8 billion that David brought was so exciting, so now most senior executives believe that Disney will win it no matter what.
Once Disney is taken over, Hollywood film companies of all sizes will definitely be honest without the last piece of shield. Coupled with the penalty imposed by Disney, the tax revenue will be generated It must be an astronomical figure far exceeding 8 billion US dollars!
Although David received this money, as senior officials of the Internal Revenue Service, this will also be a political achievement that will be counted on everyone. After all, David is not their promotion faction yet. Past?
Of course, there is another main reason why the executives are so unified in taking action against Disney.
That is, they know that Disney does not play a core role in the Jewish people or the Masonic group.
And it is impossible for this group to fight with the IRS just because of a Disney.
Although Freemasonry is powerful, it affects all walks of life in the United States, and it can be said that it has one hand to cover the sky.
But the IRS is not a vegetarian. They want money, people, and their own armed forces.
No matter in any country, the barrel of a gun is always the truth!
This is the confidence of many senior executives present!
"That's it. Director David has collected evidence of Disney's alleged tax evasion of billions of dollars. Now that Disney is unwilling to cooperate, according to his idea, he wants to shut down Disney." What do you think about the headquarters and its various industries? "
As soon as Donald said this, the senior executives who had expressed their support no matter what just fell silent.
Logically speaking, since Disney dares to go against them, it is not excessive at all based on the style of their IRS.
But Disney has too many employees. Once this is done, it will mean that hundreds of thousands of people will lose their jobs.
At that time, these people will not care whether you are the IRS or not.
With no food to eat and no wages, they will definitely hold various demonstrations to impeach the IRS.
This is definitely something to be concerned about.
Donald understood everyone's concerns and continued: "I know what everyone is worried about, but Director David also proposed an idea. It is very simple to march without irritating these employees. During their temporary unemployment, give them It’s OK if they issue unemployment benefits”
Upon hearing this, Lahan immediately retorted: "Unemployment benefits? It's not a small amount for so many people!"
"Yes, it is indeed not a small amount, but you have to calculate it this way, we Let’s assume that they have 200,000 employees. During this period of unemployment, they will pay each person $200 per day, which is only $40 million a day. If you give them 10 days, it will only be $400 million.”
“And our Director David has generated more than 10 billion in tax revenue for us during his time in the Western Suburbs Branch alone, so this shouldn’t be a lot of money, right?”
< br>Hearing this, both Obadiah and the other senior officials became thoughtful.
The words are rough, but the truth is rough. If it were in the past, every tax payment in the IRS would have a budget. Of course, it would be impossible to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to randomly distribute unemployment benefits.
But it's different now.
The more than 10 billion tax revenue that David has generated for them has not been passed through any budget, and it is completely sitting on their accounts.
It is certainly okay to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to provide relief funds to these people to appease them, and it is not too much at all.
“As long as we announce this decision, it will be too late for these employees to be happy, so how can they go out to demonstrate?”
Donald said again: “And don’t worry, Dai. Director Wei has already done some research, and he will squeeze a lot of the money out of Disney. This is a lesson to them!”
"And as long as we seal them up, they won't be able to hold on for long."
"After all, for a group with a market value of hundreds of billions, sealing them up will not cause any loss to us, but the loss to them will be huge. . ”
“So in the end, they will either have to give in or not want this group, but this is highly likely to be impossible!”
Hearing this, The senior executives are more recognized.
Since Disney refuses to drink fine wine when toasting, then there is nothing wrong with squeezing this relief fund back from them!
Then Obadiah looked at Vertonghen and asked: "How about consultant Vertonghen?"
"I think it is feasible!"
Vertonghen did not leave any ink, so he directly Lidang replied.
"Okay, Deputy Director Donald, then tell David that we agree to the proposal to seize all Disney properties!"
"Understood, Director!"< br>
......
Western Suburbs Branch.
"David, your proposal has been unanimously recognized and approved by the senior management of the General Administration!"
"Okay Deputy Director Donald, I understand!"
It seems that Sure enough, it was pretty much what he predicted. Although Disney had a Yu Tai background, he was not a core member of that group of people, otherwise the top management would not have approved it so easily.
And since the senior management doesn't worry about this, he doesn't have to worry too much about being suddenly 'brained' when he goes out one day.
Putting away his thoughts, David immediately picked up the phone and called in Nissenbaki Simons and a dozen other tax chiefs.
“Director!”
After everyone came in, they stood upright and waited for orders.
“Listen to me first. You will gather your team members later. Nissen, you go to Burbank and seal up their group building.
"Bucky, you are responsible for sealing down the Disney movie headquarters building in Hollywood."
"Simmons, you are responsible for sealing down their amusement park..."
When I heard that Disney was going to be seized After Shi Ni took possession of the property, everyone was shocked, but they quickly realized it and became more motivated. Then they all said that they wanted to turn around and do something about it.
"Wait a minute Simmons..."
David seemed to remember something and warned: "There will be many parents with children in Disneyland. You must explain to them patiently. , and promised to compensate them and not to have unnecessary disputes with these tourists, thereby causing more trouble, do you understand?”
"Understood Director, I won't cause trouble!"
Simmons promised, and then walked out of the office resolutely.
