Chapter 286 Negotiations with the Military-Industrial Complex
David nodded and asked: "Then why are they coming?"
"They are already in Los Angeles and can come at any time."
"Then let them come."
"Okay."
Sean immediately took out his cell phone and started dialing the number.
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the office door. A middle-aged man in a suit pushed open the door and entered, followed by three men and one woman.
Seeing them coming in, Sean stood up immediately, shook hands with these people and said hello, then turned to introduce David: "Director David, this is Stephen S. Haytz, a member of the board of directors of Raytheon Company, this is Mark Edward, director of the defense department of Boeing Company, and this is..."
After Sean introduced the names and positions of the five people in turn, These five people also came up one by one with kind smiles to shake hands with David.
After reaching a preliminary understanding, David motioned for a few people to sit down, and then quietly looked at these people.

“Sure enough”
As the information about these people continued to appear in front of his eyes, David secretly said, "Sure enough."
He knew that interest groups like the military-industrial complex would never be clean when it came to tax matters, and now this review turned out to be exactly what he thought.
Of course, he is not just referring to these few people. Although these few people have used their power to make a lot of money, compared with the entire group behind them, they are actually nothing. .
Take Raytheon as an example.
Their company will use the method of 'capitalization of R&D expenses' to evade taxes. As the name suggests, they will declare which R&D they have invested heavily in. R&D expenditures are capitalized rather than listed directly as expenditures, which can reduce the amount of taxable income to a certain extent.
But there is a lot that can be done here.
They can claim to have invested 10 billion or 20 billion, but the actual research and development expenses may not even reach 1 billion.
As for Raytheon, as a huge interest group like the military-industrial complex, even the Internal Revenue Service does not dare to conduct a thorough investigation. It has basically turned a blind eye for so many years.
In addition to this method, these military-industrial complexes will also avoid taxes through transfer pricing, defense secret agreements, and high debt ratios to reduce tax burdens.
But this is actually not the most domineering thing.
These military-industrial complexes can even manipulate Congress to formulate various floating tax avoidance policies for them. This is the most overbearing!
The military-industrial complex certainly lives up to its reputation.
No wonder it is a huge interest group as famous as Freemasonry!
After Guan Zhongzhong understood the general strength of the military-industrial group, oh no, it can also be called the Angsa Group, David's desire to take advantage of the situation became more and more serious.
“Ahem…”
Seeing that David didn't speak for a long time, Sean coughed and reminded him.
David then came back to his senses, put away his thoughts and asked pretending to be confused: "Guys, our IRS has no business contact or cooperation with you. I didn't know that you are here this time." The purpose is...?"
"It's nothing. In fact, we are here to express our gratitude to Director David on behalf of our respective companies."
"Thank you? "
"That's right. Isn't Congress preparing the W aid bill recently? This bill will be contracted by our five major companies, so the company asked us to express our gratitude to Director David in person. That’s what it means.”
Mark from Boeing didn't say so straightforwardly that we were just here for the money, but gave David a "you know" look.
"Oh..."
David looked like he suddenly realized something.
"Oh, by the way, Director David, the funding for the W Act is as high as hundreds of billions. I wonder... is there anything we can do to help?"
Raytheon's Stephens said these somewhat intriguing words.
David showed some interest and asked: "Then you might as well tell me how you can help?"
The five people looked at each other, and then each opened the He took out a document from his briefcase and suitcase and placed it on the table.
“What is this?”
“This is a small tribute from our major companies. Director David might as well take a look at it and see if it can be of any help to you.”
David immediately picked up Mark's file and looked at it, and as the contents inside came into view, his expression also changed slightly.
The document sent by the other party is about some companies and families in Los Angeles and other places that are suspected of having tax problems.
It seems that these military-industrial complexes are worried that the 40-50 billion that is still short of the W aid bill will not be completed or will be slowed down, so they are sending information to add fuel to the flames. He said, why did these five major military-industrial complexes come to him to express their gratitude? It turned out that this was their intention.
Putting away his thoughts, David picked up the documents of the remaining major companies and looked at them.
After reading the remaining documents, David's eyes became sharp. He stared at these people and said: "Your abacus is good, you want to use me as a 'knife' ”
Mark immediately waved his hand and said: "Director David's words are serious. Our major companies sincerely regard you as a friend, how can you treat it as a knife?"
"In these documents of yours, are there any Companies controlled by Shao Youtai, are they using me as a knife?”
That’s right, in the remaining four documents, many companies with tax problems were clearly pointed out. Too family and business, which is why David expressed dissatisfaction.
As he just said, these military-industrial complex calculations were very good. In order to quickly obtain huge profits, they did not hesitate to let him attack the Yutai people, although he himself was attacking the Yutai people during this period. People took advantage of him, but he still felt like he was being used.
The five people turned and looked at each other. The W bill was still short of tens of billions, and if they wanted to get the money from this bill as soon as possible, they could only encourage David to continue to attack those people. Rich Utahns take action, otherwise how can they get the money quickly?
Thinking of this, Mark said: "Don't excite Director David. The Disney family is also a Utahn, and the Thacker family is also a Utahn, and you have already taken action against them, so we will submit it to you." What do these people mean? We just want to help you."
"You said it easily. You also know very well that the Yuta people are not easy to mess with. I touched Dis. This has already made them furious. If we do what you said, what if they really take revenge on me?"
"You don't have to do this? I'm worried about Director David. I can assure you that they will never dare to retaliate against you!"
"It's hard to say. What if they jump over the wall in a hurry?"
"What do you want, Director David?"
At this point, Mark also saw that David was not completely dissatisfied, but rather meant to rip him off.
“I know that once the W aid bill is passed, your five major arms companies will divide this hundreds of billions of orders, and everyone will make a lot of money by then, but I must also have some benefits. ?”
The five people were startled when they heard this. Didn’t they say that David didn’t charge money?
Is the message wrong?
"This is natural, when the time comes we will..."
"Wait..."
David knew that the other party had misunderstood what he meant, and interrupted: "I mean, I am under a lot of pressure to collect all the funds. I hope Can you help me share some of the pressure?"
"Share what pressure?"
"To tell you the truth, I have been under a lot of pressure from the Yutai people recently, and they even talked to me. Our senior officials at the IRS have reached an agreement not to allow me to be promoted to the General Bureau. I hope you can help me run this matter."
After saying this, the people from the five major arms companies frowned.
It is true that they want David to collect funds to support the W bill as soon as possible so that they can make a fortune, but they are not willing to let them get involved in the dispute with the Jewish group.
After all, this group of people are not easy to mess with. They are just doing business. The main thing is to make money by being friendly. There is no need to engage in this kind of life-and-death struggle.
“Why, don’t you want to?”
“That’s not true. I think it’s unnecessary for you, Director David. With the contribution you have made to the IRS, unless your General Bureau’s Those senior officials are confused, otherwise they would definitely let you be promoted to the General Administration."
Mark did a Tai Chi.
Of course David heard the other party's evasion, and said in a deep voice: "Guys, didn't you just keep saying that you want to be friends with me? To be friends, you have to show some sincerity. If you don't even have this sincerity, just If you think about making profits for yourself, then you can’t be considered a friend!”
“That’s not what we mean, it’s just that we are just doing business, and we want to lobby the top management of your IRS... I’m afraid it’s a little pretentious! But the strength is not enough.”
“Mr. Mark, do you think I am a fool?”
David stared at him sharply.
On the surface, the five major military-industrial complexes are just doing business, but behind them is the Angsa Group. No one dares to underestimate the power of the Angsa Group in the United States, including the top brass of the Internal Revenue Service.
As long as they stand up, it will not necessarily allow David to enter the General Bureau immediately, but it will definitely be able to offset the imprisonment imposed on him by the Freemasons.
Looking at the five people who were silent, David continued: "Guys, take a long-term view. I believe you also know very well that the 100 billion in the W bill is only the initial funding. As for the rest, No one can tell how much more money will be added. "
"At present, the United States' finances cannot afford the follow-up funds, so it is no exaggeration to say that you still want to get a lot of money in the future. If you want to make a profit, you have to rely on me, and I can bring you rewards, but those Utah people can’t give you anything!
These sonorous and powerful words are lagging behind, the five big The representatives of the military-industrial complex have different expressions.
Of course they also know that the 100 billion in the W bill is indeed only preliminary funding. As long as the war does not end, there will definitely be additional funds.
According to the current Pentagon analysis, this war cannot be over in a few months or a year and a half.
This also means that if they want to obtain benefits from it in the future, it seems that they really need to rely on David.
And David’s words can be regarded as talking about their weakness.
They don’t want to conflict with the Yuta people, but they also don’t want to return to the unprofitable half-death state of previous years.
After carefully thinking about the pros and cons, the five people exchanged glances, and finally Mark said: "Okay, Director David, I will discuss this matter with other senior executives of our company after I get back. I will give you an answer when the time comes, okay?”
"No problem. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. If your senior management agrees, then this matter will be considered smooth. Just treat it as a small favor for me..."
The Freemasonry side Didn't they place Bellamy Hardy and Brown Saurus into the General Administration and try to put eye drops on them?
The small favor that David asked the five major military-industrial complexes to do was also very simple. That is, if the agreement just reached was reached, let them operate and kick these two people out of the general bureau. This can be regarded as a pretext. The Angsa Group's momentum has made a counterattack against Freemasonry.
"Okay, we will bring your thoughts to our senior management after we go back. Then Director David and Mr. Sean, we will say goodbye..."
"Goodbye. Bit..."
After the representatives of the five major arms companies left, David turned to look at Sean, who was still sitting, and asked, "Do you think they will agree to my request?"
"I think, Yes! "
Sean replied directly without thinking.
“How do you say that?”
“As you know, during the previous president’s tenure, he adopted a policy of military austerity, which caused the military-industrial complex to suffer terribly. Now it’s better. An EW war cannot be tolerated, which makes the military-industrial complex like dogs seeing hot shit. They cannot give up this opportunity for blood no matter what."
Sean continued: "Last year, our debt in the United States exceeded 30 trillion U.S. dollars, and the deficit reached 2.77 trillion U.S. dollars, the largest increase since 2007. In other words, there will be absolutely no financial stability in the future. There is no way to pay them to pay for the order, so what you just said is right, that is, if they want to get more benefits in the future, they can only rely on you, and they will figure it out."
