Chapter 333: Join the Angsa Group, David
Shaun looked uncertain for a while, and finally asked: "If he doesn't agree, what do you want?"
Jep leaned back, crossed his arms across his chest, and said calmly: "I have received the news that the Freemasons are preparing to mobilize their power in Congress to repeal the black tax bill. If David does not If you agree, we won’t get involved in this matter!”
“What!”
Shawn was shocked when he heard this.
He knew very well that the Masonic group had not dared to pursue the idea of a black tax bill because it did not want to really break up with the IRS.
And now that the other party has this plan, it means that they are really forced to go to war with the IRS!
But that’s not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that although the IRS has great power, it does not have much influence in Congress. The only ones who are truly influential in Congress are the Freemasonry, the Angsa Group, Some other large financial groups and families also have certain influence.
In other words, if the Freemasons really want to implement the bill to abolish the black tax in Congress, and the Angsa Group stands aside and watches, it will be difficult for the IRS.
Without the powerful sword of the Black Tax Act, David, even if he sat at the top of the IRS, was basically the same as a toothless tiger.
“Of course, we don’t want this situation to develop, so it would be best if David could agree to our request. Do you understand, Sean?”
< br>"Okay, I will come forward to communicate with him tonight, but I can't guarantee whether he will answer or not."
Seeing the determination of the three major families, Sean also knew that he had already There is nothing left to do, so we can only prepare to pass the message to David who is coming tonight.
"You just need to convey our intention to him. As for whether he will agree to the next matter, we will deal with it."
"Okay..."
...
In the evening, it was approaching seven o'clock.
A large number of special service personnel were already on guard around the Hyatt Regency Hotel, and invited guests also arrived at the scene in vehicles one after another.
As today's protagonist, David naturally arrived at the scene early and is currently entertaining some arriving guests.
Among these people, there are people from the military, people from various government departments, and some upper-class people in Washington.
This was the first time for David to meet many of these people. As for whether they were invited by the senior officials of the IRS or the Angsa Group, he couldn’t ask, so he didn’t know. Not very clear.
"Director David...oh no, now we should call him Inspector General David. You are very welcome to work in Washington!"
"Inspector General David, I have been here before. I saw your glory on TV, and finally got to see it today!”
“Inspector General David, please give me your advice in the future...”
As time went by, more and more people came to the scene, and they came to David immediately to congratulate him.
And David responded to them all with a smile, and from time to time he picked up a glass of wine and greeted them back. There was an atmosphere of great conversation at the dinner.
“BOSS, Director Obadiah and the others are here!”
Hearing Simmons’ reminder, David turned around and saw Obadiah and Vertonghen at the gate. , Donald, Lahan and other senior officials of the IRS came in.
He immediately apologized to the several government officials who were talking, then raised his legs to greet them, and said: "Director Obadiah, Advisor Vertonghen, Deputy Director Donald... welcome you The arrival! ”
This dinner was obviously arranged by the Angsa people through communication with the top management of the IRS, but now he wanted to say welcome to this group of people, which made him feel a little weird.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Who knows that he is indeed today’s protagonist in name.
"Inspector General David, welcome to join our General Administration. I believe that under your leadership, the situation of tax cases nationwide will rise dramatically!"
Obadiah smiled Hehe said this sentence.
Seeing that the boss of the General Administration said this, Vertonghen and Lahan also said some congratulatory and welcoming words.
In the end, the man standing next to Lahan, about 50 years old with a mustache, remained silent and even looked a little unnatural.
“Ahem...”
It wasn’t until he heard Donald’s cough that the man reacted, forced a smile, and said to David: “Congratulations, David , I hope you can do better after taking over from me!”
His name is Nehemiah Noah, the former National Tax Inspector General of the Internal Revenue Service.
At the age of 51, he is technically at a good age for his career, but unfortunately he is unlucky and meets the unexpectedly born David.
In the end, under the pressure of the Angsa people and the unanimous discussion of many senior officials of the General Administration, they had no choice but to hand over the position of Tax Inspector General, which was currently the most suitable position for David.
Of course, in addition to the pressure from these two aspects, another reason is that David has outstanding abilities and has accumulated a huge reputation during this period, otherwise he would not abdicate so easily no matter what
"Inspector General Nehemiah, I have just come to take office. I think I will have many things to ask you for in the future. I hope you will not dislike it." It was uncomfortable, so David didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party's strangeness.
"Although I have abdicated, I also hope to see tax supervision work better, so if you have any questions, you can ask me at any time, you are welcome."
"Thank you very much..."
Seeing the two people chatting so happily made Obadiah, Donald and others on the side secretly relieved.
They were really worried that Nehemiah would be unhappy about being robbed of his position and attack David, which would embarrass them too. But fortunately, the old inspector general still knew the general situation.
"Director Obadiah, Advisor Vertonghen, you are here too!"
While speaking, a voice from behind reached everyone's ears, and everyone turned their heads to see, It turned out that the visitor was none other than White House Chief of Staff Wilder.
"Chief of Staff Wilder, you are here too."
Obadiah and Vertonghen also greeted each other in unison.
“Yes.”
Wilder agreed, then turned his attention to David, and said with a smile: “Isn’t this the president who is attending a state visit, so he sent I am a representative, David. On behalf of the President, I welcome you to serve in Washington!" "Thank you, Mr. President, for me, and of course, Chief of Staff Wilder for coming tonight."
< br>
"You have made such a big contribution to our country's taxation. This is what you should and should..."
As the chief of staff of the White House, this is basically the incarnation of the president. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as tens of thousands of people.
But in the subsequent conversation, Wilder was unusually polite to David, which also made Obadiah, Vertonghen and others who had not enjoyed such treatment a little depressed.
But not long after, following Wilder’s ‘unforgettable sight’, everyone suddenly understood.
It turns out that although the W aid bill was in line with the White House's policy and passed smoothly, because most of the people were anti-war, it also caused the president himself to lose a lot of support.
Therefore, the White House wants to introduce a bill or policy to benefit the people to restore public support.
And this bill to benefit the people will naturally allow citizens to get real benefits.
But this requires money, and this money is by no means a small amount!
With the current situation in the United States, the finances will definitely not be able to support such a large sum of money for this bill. Naturally, we can only rely on David, a little expert in making money.
This is why Wilder was so polite to David.
"I have just taken office. I will focus on familiarizing myself with the business in a short period of time. I am afraid that I will not be very effective in terms of tax funds. I hope Chief of Staff Wilder can understand..."
David fell down This is not to say that he is shirk. First of all, he has just arrived and it will be difficult for him to start tax work if he is not familiar with the operation of a good department.
Another thing is that the follow-up additional funds previously agreed with the Angsa Group are still tens of billions short of being raised. He must get the funds first to avoid the Angsa people. Said he didn't abide by the contract.
"This is natural. We just have this idea. There are still many details that need to be perfected. Just don't rush and take your time!"
Although the White House has suffered a recent loss He has gained a lot of support, but after all, there are still two years before the election year. All he needs to do is increase his support before the election year, so Wilder is not in a hurry.
Seeing David's slight acquiescence, Wilder was also very sensible and immediately walked away on the pretext of going aside to chat with some old friends.
In the following time, more and more people came to the scene.
The last time he attended the celebration banquet of the Angsa Group, the backbones of the Angsa Group also came to the scene and expressed congratulations to David, even vaguely treating him as one of their own. , which also caused some haze in his heart.
Another half hour passed.
At this time, Simmons came to him and reminded: "BOSS, people from the four major families are here, but they came down from upstairs and should be here long ago."
Upon hearing this, David's eyes narrowed.
People from the four major families have been here for a long time. Why did they wait so long before the dinner started to show up?
It’s nothing more than a pretense because he thinks his status is transcendent.
This is not because David judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, but because he had a head-on confrontation with these big families last time and saw the arrogance in their bones.
Of course, based on his understanding of Sean, the Kennedy family is definitely not like this. As for why they only show up with several major families until now, there must be another reason.
As soon as the four major families appeared, people at the scene immediately came forward to say hello. Even White House Chief of Staff Wilder did not dare to show off in the slightest and took the initiative to go forward and have a conversation.
After some hesitation, David adjusted his posture and greeted him with a smile.
As soon as the four major families and others here saw him coming up to him, they suddenly pretended to have discovered something, said goodbye to the person he was talking to, and came up together.
“Inspector General David, welcome to serve in Washington!”
“Inspector General David, since you have come to serve in Washington, I believe we will interact with each other frequently in the future. Please take care of me.”
"..."
"Gentlemen, thank you for coming tonight,"
Lei Zhe, Jep, and Cyril spoke one after another, while Sean remained silent. , and David also replied politely.
"We are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite. Inspector General David, you have many people to entertain today. Since we are already here, we will not disturb you now."
Lei Zhe laughed, and then left with Cyril Jep, leaving only Sean who stayed where he was without moving.
"Let's talk over there at the bar."
"Okay."
David followed Sean to the bar.
Today's dinner is a rare social opportunity for all the people who come here. Therefore, these people are not really stupid enough to come to drink. Therefore, except for the two people who arrived at the bar, Apart from the bartender, there was really no one else.
“Give me a whiskey, less ice.”
"Me too."
The two of them each gave instructions to the bartender and sat on the high stools.
Sean seemed to have something to hide and did not speak immediately. David also guessed what he had to say and was not in a hurry to ask.
Seven or eight minutes later, two glasses of prepared wine were served.
Sean picked it up, shook it, and took a big sip. With the power of the wine, he slowly said: "When you came to me and said you wanted to deal with News Corporation, let me When it comes to providing financial support, to be honest, I am not very optimistic that you can settle things in a short time, including the three major families. ”
"Because after all, this is a propaganda organization that they value very much. Even if you can catch them, they will definitely try their best to save you. But what I didn't expect is that you once again exceeded everyone's expectations. After you Under his single-handed planning, founder Rupert Murdoch was disgraced and resigned, and News Corporation almost fell apart. In the end, we took advantage of it."
"But, after this battle, you have now been promoted to the IRS. In the decision-making circle, the three major families are a little restless. They are increasingly afraid that they will not be able to control you and will cause trouble. This is why the dinner party is being held tonight."
David had already guessed! At this point, he was not very surprised, and then he asked: "So in holding this dinner tonight, apart from wanting to tell everyone that I am the person they supported, do they have any other ideas?"< br>
Sean did not speak, but took out three photos from his pocket and placed them on the table. He took another sip of wine and said: "The three major families want you to choose one of them. , and then get married under the witness of all of them, then you will be a part of this group, and the group will try its best to help you control the giant ship of the IRS.”
