Chapter 323 National Tax Inspector General
“Okay, then you can go back first. When I am ready, I will notify you to take action.”
The three of them nodded in unison. Then they walked out of the office one after another.
After they left, David picked up the bag, dialed Sean's number, and said, "Mr. Sean, I think I need to trouble you with something."< br>
“Tell me, Chief David.”
"That's it..."
In an office in the Kennedy family estate in Washington, Sean was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of joy appeared on his face.
The reason why the Yutai people are becoming more and more influential is inseparable from their various packaging and publicity. If their packaging and publicity channels are cut off, it will be no less than cutting off their An arm.
Thinking of this, he immediately replied to the other end of the phone: "Director David, this is a very wise approach. I think the three major families are also very interested in this. I will persuade them to provide it together." Funding."
The Angsa Group is obviously trying to weaken the power of Freemasonry, and now that such a good opportunity is in front of them, this group of people will definitely agree to get involved as long as they are not fools.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Mr. Sean."
......
Two days passed in a flash.
In the past two days, Murdoch's News Corporation was at full capacity. Dozens of its media and newspapers were dispatched, all of which launched a fierce attack on David's promotion.
Induced by the propaganda of these media, many people in the United States gradually began to question David's promotion.
Not to mention whether there was any behind-the-scenes manipulation, but in terms of age, David is too young. Without enough experience, would he have the ability to lead national tax policy when he reaches the top position of the IRS?
Also, if you hold a high-power position at such a young age, will you become unlucky and make a series of wrong decisions in the future?
These problems are all problems that arise in the minds of the people under the guidance of News Corporation.
Of course, the abilities and skills David has shown during this period have also gathered many die-hard fans, and these fans still maintain strong support for David's promotion.
The basis for their support is also very simple.
That was Kennedy back then, who became the President of the United States at 43.
Now that David is only a dozen years younger than Kennedy, what’s wrong with being a senior executive of the IRS?
Although these two groups of people are quarreling on major social platforms, the person involved, David, can still sit still. At this time, he is in the office looking at some materials about News Corporation.
At this moment, the phone on the table rang, interrupting his thoughts. He picked it up and saw that it was Donald calling, and immediately picked up the call: "Deputy Director Donald."
< br>"David, the General Administration has almost discussed your job change, but the public opinion against you is not good now. As you know, we in the United States are a democratic country. In this kind of public opinion trend, Even if a presidential candidate is elected, it will be difficult to take office..."
Although Donald didn't say it directly, David had already heard it.
That is because the current pressure from public opinion is too great, and it is impossible for the General Administration to dare to withstand such great pressure and really transfer him.
But this is also expected. He replied calmly: "I understand, but I have already made arrangements. This storm will subside soon."
"Very Can it be settled soon?"
At the General Administration, Donald was startled for a moment, but then he thought of something and asked, "You don't want to attack News Corporation, do you?"
Of course he knows that this matter was caused by the Masonic group, and if he wants to settle this matter, he must 'sew' News Corporation's mouth shut.
“That’s right.”
David didn’t hide it, he said it directly.
"Wait... You can't do this. As I said just now, our United States is a democratic country, and everyone must respect the freedom of the press. Although News Corporation is constantly criticizing you, if If you want to launch an investigation against them, then this is naked revenge, which is not a popular idea!"
Donald's tone was a little anxious.
In the United States, freedom of speech, human rights, press, etc. are the foundation of their democracy, and this matter is so big now. If David really wants to launch an investigation into News Corporation, it will make others think that the IRS is suppressing news. freedom will make the IRS lose the support of the people.
In fact, the reason why Murdock, an old fox, dared to take over the job of sniping David was certainly not because he thought his group was clean.
He was also convinced that the IRS did not dare to investigate them at the risk of suppressing press freedom.
Otherwise, do you really think he has lost his mind? Even Amazon’s legal department can’t stop David, but his News Corporation’s legal department can?
“Don’t worry, Deputy Director Donald, of course I know this. This matter has nothing to do with our IRS!”
At the General Administration of Washington, Donald's expression changed and he asked: "How do you say that?"
"In 2011, News Corporation was exposed as a 'wiretapgate'. At that time, the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee ordered They conducted an investigation into the group, and although they settled it later, if this matter is revealed again and there is enough evidence, what do you think will happen to News Group?"
"What, Do you have evidence of this?"
Donald looked shocked.
In 2011, this incident was so big that it even aroused public anger against News Corporation, causing the group's stock price to drop by 15 percentage points.
As for why it caused such a big fuss and aroused public anger?
The reason is very simple, because someone familiar with the matter broke the news, claiming that the media owned by News Corporation had eavesdropped on the phone calls of victims of the 911 terrorist attacks.
As we all know, 911 is a pain for all Americans.
And the families of the victims are already miserable enough, but it’s no wonder that News Corporation wants to tap their phones. This will offend the public.
Afterwards, the FBI also launched a blanket investigation into News Corporation, investigating and interrogating everyone from the top executives to the group's janitors.
After a strong FBI investigation, News Corporation was found guilty of more than 30 crimes including corruption, insider trading, and manipulation of public opinion, in addition to wiretapping.
But when the FBI wanted to further collect evidence for prosecution, it was suddenly stopped. After that, the matter was reduced to a major matter and became a minor matter.
If this matter is revealed now and there is strong evidence, it will indeed be enough for News Corporation to drink a pot.
"The evidence... there are some clues, but it will take some time." In fact, David has no evidence of eavesdropping now, but he has a golden finger, as long as he attacks News Corporation The senior executives took a closer look, and it was not too difficult to collect evidence in this regard.
Donald held his chin and thought for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and said: "Even if you have evidence of this matter, if it is exposed, it will probably cause Murdoch and a group of his cronies to step down, and the group will have some problems." There is turmoil, and the media has always been a tool that the Utahns value very much. They will definitely support another spokesperson to come to power, and I am afraid they will continue to pursue you."
David smiled and said. Replied: "Deputy Director Donald, once there is turmoil in News Corporation and once Murdoch steps down, it will be difficult for them to support their own people."
"Oh?"
Donald is a A smart man, as soon as he heard this, he knew that David might have other plans, and then thought about it and replied: "If that's the case, it's worth doing it, but again, this matter It has to have nothing to do with our IRS, and we can’t let the outside world think that our IRS is targeting the media’s freedom of speech.”
“Of course, but having said that, Deputy Director Donald, since the General Administration has no regard for my personnel. The arrangement has been discussed, so can I ask what position I will hold if I am transferred to the General Administration? ”
"Tax Inspector General, this position is very suitable for you, what do you think?"
"It is indeed quite suitable."
Hearing this, David's face instantly showed excitement. .
Tax Inspector General, the full name is the National Tax Inspector General of the State Administration of Taxation.
The responsibilities of this position are also very simple, that is, they are responsible for supervising tax cases in various regional branches across the country.
But although it sounds simple, this position actually has great power.
This position can supervise or even directly intervene in any case in various branches across the country. As long as he thinks there is a problem with the case, he can step in and take over it at any time, and even cases that have been filed and sealed can be reopened. Come out for review.
In the high-level power structure of the IRS, this is the most powerful position except for the director, chief counsel, and several deputy directors.
One more thing is worth mentioning.
Now that he is the director of the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service, he was actually suspected of exceeding his authority when he was investigating major cryptocurrency companies, as well as remote companies such as the Amazon Group. It’s hard to say anything for people who endorse outsiders.
If he takes the position of Tax Inspector General, there will be no ultra vires. No matter which region of the country he intervenes in, it will fall within his scope of authority, which will be much more convenient.
"We have basically completed the process here. If you solve the problem of News Corporation, then we can announce you to take office at any time."
"Okay, then look at me Let’s do it!”
After ending the call, David immediately called Nissenbaki Simons and others in and shared the good news about the Tax Inspector General with him.
"Tax Inspector General, it really is!"
"I have guessed a long time ago that this position belongs to our director!"
"It is true, BOSS is indeed very suitable for this position."
A few people had actually guessed before that the General Administration would let David took on this position and is still excited to be confirmed.
David has entered the General Administration and held such a high-power position, so naturally these few of them as confidants can be regarded as one of them.
“Okay, let’s go to New York tomorrow!”
Taking office as the tax inspector general is something to be excited about, but the first priority is to solve the obstacle of News Corporation. It is not too late to celebrate when he actually takes office.
Early the next morning, after explaining some matters in the bureau, David and his team quietly boarded a flight to New York.
At two noon, the flight landed at New York International Airport.
After walking out of the airport, the group of them immediately arrived at the New York Internal Revenue Service and conspired with the director here.
It was not until close to five o'clock that David and others arrived at Madison Avenue in Manhattan and waited at a window restaurant opposite the News Corporation headquarters building.
The time came to five o'clock sharp, and many people came out of the News Corporation building one after another.
And David also activated the review function for the first time and carefully scrutinized these people.
An hour later, no one came out of the News Corporation building, and David also stopped writing in his notebook.
Through the scrutiny of the group's senior management, not surprisingly, he obtained a lot of confidential information about the group.
For example, it is true that News Corporation monitored the families of 9/11 victims, and it is also true that the Corporation colluded with some government officials, and that there were corruption, insider trading, and public opinion guidance. of.
The next thing to do is to control the people who should be controlled, obtain the testimonies that should be obtained, and obtain the data and materials that should be obtained through the channels of the New York Internal Revenue Service.
“Let’s go, find a place to settle down first.”
Three days later, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Manhattan, Nissen came to the door of Room 1011 and rang the doorbell, and there was a group of people behind him. A somewhat capable-looking man about fifty years old.
The door opened, and seeing David's figure appear, Nissen immediately said: "Director, Director Kilioni said he wants to see you."
David looked up, and sure enough, The director of the New York Internal Revenue Service was already standing here. He quickly invited him into the room and said politely: "Director Giglioni, if you need anything, just let me know. There is no need for you to come in person." One trip.”
"Director David, you have attracted too much attention, and this matter needs to be kept secret, so I think it's better for me to come in person."
"Is that so...that means there are things I want you to investigate. The result?”
Kilioni opened the briefcase he brought with him, took out a stack of documents, and said: “Here are the testimonies, data, and accounts you want, Director David. Information, see if it’s correct.”
David immediately took it and checked it.
About ten minutes later, with a look of satisfaction on his face, he replied: "Yes, Director Kilioni, this is what I want. You, the New York IRS, have done a great job and worked hard." ! ”
"This is all thanks to the detailed information you gave us, Director David. We... basically just 'prescribe the medicine' and put in a little effort."
Kilioni waved his hand, as if he was just doing it. Like a trivial thing.
