Chapter 282: Is UBS giving in?
"Soras is indeed right. The Speaker of the House of Representatives has indeed been preparing this bill recently, and he even talked to me about it alone. Although this bill is currently supported by many members of Congress, But there is also a big obstacle, and that is where the funds will be allocated. Now it seems that it is most likely to be placed on the funds that David has recently collected. "
"Similarly, I was also allocated. The Speaker of the House of Representatives has talked to people about this bill. The current financial situation in the United States is indeed very difficult. Apart from the recent funds provided by David, there is really no other place where money can be obtained. "
“…”
Many of the Freemasons present are members of the current Congress, and they have obviously received news of this bill, so they are also one by one at this time. Take a stand.
After hearing these people's words, the expressions of people like Borgwana and Bennett suddenly dropped.
The current form is very clear. The "W Aid Act" is obviously the main policy of the White House and Congress.
If you want this bill to pass, you must first solve the source of funds.
At present, every fiscal expenditure in the entire United States obviously has a budget. Wherever a sum is drawn from, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of those with vested interests. Only David has made this big deal recently. The money is not budgeted, and it is the only budget that can be used for the "W Aid Act".
Let’s get down to business.
If they take action against David at this time, first of all, the White House will probably be the first to express dissatisfaction, followed by Congress, but these are not the most serious.
The most serious thing is that the funds from the "W Aid Act" are not directly used to remit to Party W, but are used to purchase weapons and equipment and then send them to Party W.
Where can I purchase these weapons and equipment?
Of course it is the military-industrial complex in the United States.
Whose sphere of influence is the military-industrial complex?
The answer is Angsa Group!
In other words, if they dare to mess with David now, it will be equivalent to cutting off the Angsa Group's financial path.
This is a budget of hundreds of billions.
In the face of such a large sum of money, let alone the Angsa Group, even their Youtai Group will be impatient. When the time comes, the Angsa Group will put this account on their heads, and they It doesn’t feel good either.
Although the Freemasons dominate the United States and control the economic lifeline of the country, the Angsa Group is not a vegetarian. This group of people has the barrel of a gun.
Many of them now hate David for stretching his hand too far, but they don't want to cause a conflict with the Angsa Group.
"Well...Looking at it this way, I think it's better not to touch David for the time being, so as not to cause dissatisfaction from all parties."
"That's right, we don't need to do it now. To take action against David, we can wait until the "W Aid Act" is passed, and then make a decision."
"No, if we don't take action now, he will take advantage of the "W Aid Act." "Before we pass, what should we do if we rely on the protection of various forces to attack us?"
"Borgwana is right. David doesn't know if he knows about the aid now?" If he knows about the bill and reacts, I think with his character, he will definitely intensify his efforts against us..."
"..."
With the introduction of the 'W Aid Act', great differences arose within the Freemasonry group because of the involvement of various forces.
After an afternoon of discussion on this disagreement, no one was able to convince anyone, and Henrietta did not express his position directly. In the end, everyone decided to wait for UBS's position tomorrow before discussing it. .
The time came to the morning of the next day.
Amarin and others, who were slightly haggard, came to the Los Angeles branch again. Under the watchful eyes of all the media, they walked in.
In the director's office.
David, who was reading the morning news, saw these people being brought in. He immediately put down the newspaper, leaned back and stared at them, and said: "Mr. Yamalin, tell me you Rui Silver's reply! "
"The senior management of our group thinks that what you said yesterday, Director David, was a bit exaggerated. Secondly, they don't believe that you have so much leverage."
This is what he said yesterday. After discussing with Jets and others in the group, they came to the conclusion that before today, it was necessary to find out how many pieces of information David had in addition to the detailed transaction information of yesterday's customer.
They were also worried that David was bluffing them.
Without any emotion on his face, David directly opened the drawer below, took out a thick stack of documents and threw them on the table.
Seeing this scene, the faces of Yamalin and others suddenly became serious. They did not dare to neglect, and immediately picked up a copy and started to check it out.
Seven or eight minutes later, their faces all darkened.
David said aloud: "How about it, do you want to see my chips? Can I have someone get a few more piles of documents like this?"
Listen There were still a few piles left, and Yamalin and the others were breaking out in cold sweats. Not to mention adding others, if these dozen copies were brought to court, it would be enough for them to drink a pot.
It seems that David is not bluffing to deceive them, but he really doesn't know how to collect so many clues about CUUI and CUUO, which is why he is so confident.
Thinking of this, Yamalin could only say: "No, we can talk about the Sackler family's property, but there are some conditions attached!"
The United States is, after all, It is the largest source of funds and revenue for UBS Group, so after some careful consideration, UBS Group executives finally unanimously decided that if the IRS really had enough evidence to prosecute them, then they would have to compromise.
Otherwise, once the IRS completely freezes all their business, their losses will be immeasurable.
As for whether the compromise will cause panic among the world's richest people, they have already worked out a follow-up plan, but this is a story for another day.
"Tell me!"
"It's very simple, we will not transfer the assets of the Sackler family directly to you, but transfer them back to their accounts in the United States!"
This is a plan developed by Amazon’s team and senior executives at the headquarters after a night of discussion.
Although doing this is really a bit deceptive.
But strictly speaking, it is not really a customer asset that their Swiss bank voluntarily handed over.
After all, I did not cooperate with the IRS. We just transferred the money back to your personal account. As for the IRS freezing and confiscating it, that is none of our business.
"Mr. Yamalin, I have to say that you are really smart!"
David was also amused by the other party's method of deceiving others.
But it doesn't matter. As long as the other party is willing to hand over the money, he doesn't care whether he is hiding his ears or not. Anyway, the money falls into his pocket. This is the real kingly way!
Yamalin continued: "This is only one of the conditions. As for the second, it is that your IRS immediately cancels the investigation against us and allows our business to reopen, and we do not need to pay any penalties. !
David shook his head and retorted: "It's okay to cancel the investigation, and it's okay to reopen your business, but the fine is impossible to avoid!"
After hearing this, Yamalin and others He felt unhappy for a moment, and then it was Humphrey's turn to speak: "Director David, we took the risk of destroying the sign and handed over Sackler's assets to you indirectly. Forget it, you know, we Are you under any other pressure? "
"To be honest, after the conversation with you yesterday, the Freemasons sent representatives to look for us. They threatened us if we dared to kill Thacker. If the assets of the Le family are handed over, we will lose our good fruits. We are under great pressure now, so is it too much to ask you to exempt us from a penalty? "
Listen? David was a little surprised when he came to see them at the Freemasonry, but he soon recovered.
The Swiss Bank is the safest and most well-known bank in the world. It is normal for the Freemasons to store their funds there.
It is also normal for this group to threaten UBS because they are worried that the Sackler family incident has started this way and their own funds will not be guaranteed in the future.
"Mr. Yamalin, this is a matter between you and the Freemasons, and has nothing to do with us. Besides, how much money have you made in the United States by using these two products? Now let me make you pay back A tax evasion penalty, is this too much?”
“And if you don’t pay this penalty, won’t our IRS be in trouble? An act of revenge for the assets of the Sackler family?"
David said without any emotion.
"You..."
Amarin Humphrey and others were very angry. If you, Chief David, hadn't forced us to hand over Sackler's assets, would the Freemasons have come to threaten us?
And we have already made such a big concession, but you, Director David, are not willing to give in at all?
This is too much!
If it weren’t for knowing that David had control over their two products, they would have wanted to slam the door and leave at this moment!
Ignoring the anger of these people, David raised his right hand, looked at his watch, and said with a hint of meaning: "It's getting late..."
"Okay, Director David, but I want to ask first You have a question, how much do you want to punish us? "
Amarin asked through gritted teeth.
David pulled out a document from the folder next to him and threw it in front of Yamalin. He said: "This is the data obtained through our investigation. With these two products, you have absorbed a total of We raised US$56.83 billion in funds, and the subsequent benefits generated from this amount of investment were US$41.2 billion.”
“Your two products were launched on November 3, 2016. According to the new policy at that time, the company The income tax will be increased from 21% to 28%, and the minimum tax rate will be increased from 15% to 21%. In addition, companies with a value of more than 1 billion US dollars must pay at least 21% tax. For multinational companies, the tax rate on overseas income will be increased from 15% to 21%. 10.5% increased to 21%..."
"Today, several years later, the tax rate in the United States has also changed several times, but in view of your cooperation with Sackler's assets, I have calculated a more favorable tax rate for you, which is 20%. , that is to say, you just need to pay a tax of 8.24 billion US dollars to our IRS.”
Hearing the figure of 8.2 billion US dollars, Yamalin and other members of the UBS Group Legal Department. His face turned green.
Nah, 8.2 billion is considered a preferential tax rate?
These are sky-high fines!
Amarin suppressed the anger in his heart and retorted: "Director David, you are going too far. 8.2 billion is not a small amount, not to mention that our UBS Group gives you the IRS every year Pay so much tax”
"You have paid taxes, but you haven't paid taxes on these two products. What's more, you have made tens of billions in the United States over the years with these two products, and now you are only asked to pay 8.2 billion. , Isn’t that too much?
David asked with a hint of disdain
“You...”
“…”
Just like that. As Yamalin said, 8.2 billion is indeed not a small number.
What's more, for capitalists, if you want them to spit out what they have eaten, it is no less than cutting their flesh with a knife.
So in the following time, Yamalin and others took turns to bargain with David.
However, none of them had any effect.
No matter what they say, David always behaves like if you want to have sex or not, I will fuck you right away.
In the end, Yamalin had no choice but to slam the door and go out to talk to the group's senior executives.
It was not until a full 20 points later that he came back and said through gritted teeth: Okay, we will pay you the fine. As for the assets of the Sackler family, we will also remit them to them before 12 noon today. in the account. "
"But equally, I hope that you, the IRS, can resume operations at all our branches in the United States as quickly as possible!
Since it is impossible to obtain a reduction in fines.
The executives of Amazon and UBS can only do the next best thing and let the branches here resume operations as soon as possible, so as to strive for less losses.
“As soon as your funds are in place, it only takes me a few words to resume operations of your branch.”
Since the other party was so compromising, David naturally agreed to this small request easily.
Los Angeles IRS entrance.
Seeing Yamalin and others who had been talking for more than an hour come out, the media reporters gathered around them as usual.
"Hello Mr. Yamalin, what is the result of the negotiation with Director David?"
"Ahem..."
Yamalin moistened his throat and replied: "Yes, after our two days of talking with Director David, we now have a result."
"Mr. Yamalin, what is the result? "
"Mr. Yamalin, will you hand over the assets of the Sackler family?"
"Mr. Yamalin, as a leader in the global banking industry, please..."< br>
The media reporters at the scene went crazy.
If UBS really hands over its assets, it means that the safest and most reputable bank in the world will lose its protection for the rich. A series of subsequent chain reactions may cause earth-shaking changes in the entire banking industry. change.
If UBS refuses to hand over the assets, David and the IRS will formally sue UBS.
No matter what the result is, it will be a feast for the global media!
In addition to the scene, at this moment, after hearing Amarin’s words, the Internet also exploded instantly.
Prior to this, major social platforms opened a betting contest for this incident just like before for Disney.
1. The Swiss Bank chose to compromise and transfer the assets of the Sackler family.
2. In line with the purpose of the most reputable and safest bank in the world, Swiss Bank will fight to the end with David and the IRS!
The selection rate for these two bets can now be said to be almost half to half.
The reason is also very simple. After all, Swiss Bank has its reputation there, and it is the leader in the banking industry. Moreover, it is not a local company in the United States, so the chance of getting stuck with the IRS is of course very high.
Given David's skill and the fact that UBS Group's business in the United States is too huge, it is understandable that he chose to compromise.
Therefore, the support rate for the two major contests is 50-50.
Under everyone’s nervous gaze, Yamalin’s next words instantly shocked everyone.
“Our Swiss bank has been established for more than 150 years and has now become the most reputable and secure bank in the world. This is related to the assets of our customers. Of course we will not succumb to anyone or any institution. Because of the coercion, we will not hand over the assets of the Sackler family to the IRS!”
Quiet!
The scene was deathly quiet.
Everyone was so shocked by Yamarin's words that they couldn't say anything.
It wasn’t until 30 seconds later that everyone reacted.
“Wardfa, it really deserves to be a Swiss bank, it’s really strong!”
“You know, Director David is sitting in the office inside, and it’s also their IRS office. At the gate, the head of the legal department actually said in front of the whole world that he would not give in to the IRS. This is not a slap in the face!”
“UBS is indeed the most secure bank! , let’s not talk anymore, all my assets will be deposited in Swiss Bank, this is a bank that even the IRS dares to reject!”
On major social media, people who have come to their senses are all impressed by the courage of UBS.
At the same time, on the east coast of New York, Senado Island.
“Very good, it seems that the Swiss bank still can’t ignore our existence!”
“As long as they don’t hand over the assets of the Sackler family, then we don’t have to be so anxious now. Going to deal with David has solved one of our headaches.”
“Willigood and Swiss Bank are still good and very trustworthy. Maybe we should consider transferring more assets there. ! ”
The members of the Freemasonry also smiled with joy after hearing Amarin's reply on TV.
It seems that their threats are still effective!
As long as the Swiss bank doesn’t hand over the Sackler assets to ruin this, then the IRS will naturally not be able to touch their assets there!
The most important thing is that there is no need to be so anxious to deal with David.
