Chapter 342 Shock in Silicon Valley
“It is indeed an airport. It seems that Inspector General David is going to fly to Silicon Valley!”
“Inspector General David went to Silicon Valley once last time, but that The first time was to investigate Satoshi Nakamoto, but this time it was clear that a tax audit was going to be carried out in this place. Those giant companies were in trouble."
"In fact, Silicon Valley has been under tax audit for a long time, dumb. Amazon, isn’t it? Now it’s the turn of companies like Guge, WeiRuan, and Oracle!”
With the nationwide discussion, David has arrived at the Washington International Airport, and not long after that! Then got on a flight to San Francisco.
After a nearly three-hour flight, the plane entered San Francisco and landed safely at SFO Airport.
The hatch opened and a group of four people came out.
"Ni...Jerry, the person from the Bay Area branch should have arrived to pick us up, right?"
David originally wanted to call Nissen, but suddenly realized that Nissen had been arranged by him. The area under his jurisdiction was inspected and he quickly changed his words.
As for the man Jerry following him, he was an inspector in his department. He also retired from the Marine Corps. He was very skilled, so he brought him over as a guard.
In addition to Jerry, there was another escort inspector named Munson, and Straksha, the supervisor in charge of the Silicon Valley region.
“Here he is, over there, he saw us!”
Looking in the direction Jerry pointed, he saw a man in a suit waving to them. Walked over immediately.
"Hello Inspector General David, I am Inspector McCalla from the Bay Area Bureau."
"Hello Inspector McCalla."
After the two parties shook hands, McCaw Ramen led the group of others to the parking space outside and got into a Toyota commercial vehicle.
The Bay Area branch is located at 45 Downed Street opposite the gate of Silicon Valley.
At this time, in an office of the bureau, Director Bruna received a text message. She immediately picked up the desk phone and informed other senior officials of the bureau to go to the lobby on the first floor to prepare for David's arrival. arrival.
Soon, the lobby on the first floor of the Bay Area Bureau ushered in a group of senior officials from the Bureau.
After Bruna arrived, she immediately asked: "Deputy Director Freener, have the tax reports of those companies in Silicon Valley been re-drafted?"
"It's ready."
Bruna nodded, looked at another person and asked: "Inspector Ono, are there any major problems in the tax cases that our branch has re-examined?"
"I took two inspection teams to check it carefully in the past two days. There should be no major problems."
The Japanese tax inspector known as Ono replied.
In the following time, Bruna asked the senior officials of the bureau again and again. After confirming that there would be no major problems in the bureau, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, David, as a new official, will definitely burn three fires when he takes office, and she doesn't want this fire to start in their Bay Area branch now.
“They are coming!”
While thinking, an inspector’s voice made everyone immediately raise their heads.
Sure enough, the Toyota commercial vehicle that went to pick up David at the airport came back, and when the door opened, a group of people who got out were waiting for someone other than David.
After all, David is now a senior official in the General Administration, and he is also a powerful figure like the Inspector General of Taxation. Bruna did not dare to neglect and immediately greeted him: "Inspector General David, welcome to our Bay Area branch. Inspection.”
"Director Bruna, long time no see."
The last time David came to Silicon Valley to track down Satoshi Nakamoto, David had been in contact with Director Bruna, so he didn't know him at this time. strangeness.
"By the way, you also received the notice from the General Administration. Director Bruna, how prepared is your branch?"
"After receiving the storm tax clearance operation from the General Administration, From the moment of the announcement, our Bay Area Bureau has been on standby. I can guarantee that all the inspectors in our Bureau are eager to wait for your order from Inspector General David!”
"Very good, let's talk somewhere else first."
He had been to Silicon Valley last time because of his pursuit of Satoshi Nakamoto, and he had also examined some of the people here. Now that the time had come, he naturally had to put away the information he obtained at that time.
Of course, all this depends on the help of the Bay Area Bureau.
“Please...”
Bruna brought David to her office, and then David began to assign tasks to him...
……< br>
In Silicon Valley, in a conference room of Guge, representatives from Oracle, WeiRuan and other well-known companies are already here, but everyone's face looks extremely gloomy.
"I think everyone here has received the news, that is, David from the IRS has arrived at our place. I wonder what you think of this?"
As this meeting The organizer, Guge CEO Ryan Fraser also looked at the crowd and asked.
Although they all have a common backer, the Freemasonry, it is obvious that the Freemasonry has not recovered from the hearing, and it is difficult for them to lend a helping hand to them for a while, so they I can only try to save myself.
"He will come as soon as he comes. Anyway, our Oracle company will do its own thing and we are not afraid of his investigation!"
"Haha, you Oracle purges itself? Don't you dare to say that we acquired Sun Microsystems for 74 billion in 2009, acquired AcmePacket, a network transmission product manufacturer, for 1.7 billion in 2013, and... do you dare to say that these transactions are not successful? Problem? And you dare to say that David’s method will not detect any problem?”
“You...”
After hearing this, the representative of Oracle was His face turned red with anger.
In fact, of course their company is not as innocent as he said. On the contrary, companies like theirs that can develop and grow into giants in the United States basically have to take some deviant approaches in the early stage. Otherwise, how could they have fought their way out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood?
The reason why he said this is simply that he didn’t want to take on this responsibility and wanted others to take the lead. It's a pity that he is shrewd, but the people present are not fools either. They immediately revealed their company's old bottom and exposed his mind.
"Well, there is no point in saying this. Now that the enemy is facing us, we should unite and see how we can come up with a good way to deal with it!"
Ruian fell behind in words. An Asian man wearing a leather jacket said: "To put it bluntly, David and the IRS just want money. If it can be solved with money... I think it is not non-negotiable..."< br>
His name is Huang Renxun, the founder and CEO of Invista.
Although his company’s current market value is not as high as that of giants such as Weiruan and Guge, due to the advent of the AI era, global requirements for graphics cards are increasing day by day, so his company is generally favored by the industry and may even surpass those companies in the future. It is not impossible for traditional giants.
"Haha, if it can be solved with money, then I won't not consider it, but you have also seen how much money companies like Amazon and Ethereum paid to feed the IRS. You can use this money to pay for it. Should we do it? And even if we are willing to do so, will the shareholders behind us be willing?”
Ruian immediately sarcastically said.
Each of their companies is inextricably related to the Freemasons, and now the Freemasons and the IRS are obviously at odds with each other. If they don’t even resist, they will directly send the IRS What would the Freemasons think of this money?
When the Freemasons are angry, they will be liquidated lightly!
No one dares to touch this bad luck.
"Companies such as Amazon and Ethereum were fined additionally because they were against the IRS. If we were wiser, we might not be hemorrhaging money..."
Huang Renxun still insists on his opinion.
He is different from giants such as Gu Gewei and Amazon, although his Nvidia is also controlled by several investment banks such as Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street.
But in his early years, he was also suppressed by the Masonic group because of some reasons of his bloodline and personality.
The reason why he is still able to rise is entirely due to his extraordinary personal ability.
In the end, seeing that his rise was inevitable, the Freemasons simply let go and used investment banks such as BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street to invest in his company.
Over the years, after seeing Nvidia gradually transform into a hen that lays golden eggs. In fact, the Freemasons have been trying to kick him out, either covertly or overtly, but fortunately, he has resolved them one by one.
So he doesn't mind spilling some blood to disgust the Masonic group. This can be regarded as a small revenge.
After hearing what Huang Renxun said, many people present showed some expressions of emotion on the surface, but when they thought about the Freemasonry behind them, there was no trace of emotion at all. People dare to echo it.
"He just arrived, and we were so frightened that he came to the door to offer sacrifices. This is absolutely impossible. Huang Renxun, don't forget that you are also one of us, or are you still with us? It’s better to stay on the same front, otherwise you won’t be able to afford it if something goes wrong!”
"Of course I've not forgotten'!"
Huang Renxun directly showed his dissatisfaction, and the word "not forgotten" added a hint of tone, which seemed to have some meaning.
When the atmosphere at the scene seemed to be somewhat tense, a woman hurriedly walked in. After whispering a few words into Ryan's ear, his expression changed instantly.
"What's wrong Ryan?"
Oracle's representative noticed the abnormality and immediately asked.
"I just received the news that the Bay Area Branch has summoned all the heads of more than a dozen companies including Cisco, Aolian, and Liquide!"
"What!"
Scene There was an uproar, and everyone's faces showed solemnity.
Although more than a dozen companies like Cisco, Aolian, and Liquid are not world-class giants like them, they can still be regarded as mid-level companies in Silicon Valley.
And this David has just arrived in Silicon Valley. You said that you can check one company one by one and one account after another. But now you just directly check these dozen companies. The person in charge was summoned. Isn’t this too confident?
"It seems that he is going to play big, but this is a good thing for us, so I will wait and see what happens to these dozen companies!"
Hearing Ruian's words, the rest of the people at the scene also came to their senses instantly.
Yes, it is indeed a good thing for them that David did not attack them directly when he arrived, and since these dozen mid-level companies have been summoned, they can also pass these ten The follow-up situation of several companies will be used to decide what they should do!
......
"Hello, viewers, this is CBS TV. I am already here in Silicon Valley. According to the latest news received, the Bay Area Bureau is under the supervision of Inspector General David. Under the instructions, a storm tax clearance operation has been officially launched here. At present, more than a dozen companies, led by Cisco, Aolian, and Lid..., have received summons, and they are about to rush to the Bay Area branch to cooperate with the investigation... ”
A large number of media reporters have come to Silicon Valley to report on the situation at the scene.
“Oh, Inspector General David has just arrived in Silicon Valley. Is he going to take action so soon? He’s so resolute!”
“A dozen companies have taken action at once. Company, this is really a 'big deal', but having said that, Inspector General David's move is probably to scare the monkeys."
"Although more than a dozen companies have been summoned, they are all mid-level companies in Silicon Valley. None of the giants are really trying to scare the monkeys. It depends on whether companies such as Weiruan, Guge, and Invista understand the situation. Otherwise, it is not impossible to follow in the footsteps of Amazon! "
With At the same time, people who saw the news on the Internet also started a heated discussion.
Bay Area Bureau.
At this time, David was in an arranged office, drinking a cup of coffee leisurely. Opposite him, Straksha sat, and he was reviewing holding some documents.
“Judging from this Bay Area Bureau report, Guge acquired Motorola Mobility for US$12.5 billion. There were indeed some tricks in it, and their digital businesses such as social media and online software stores It is mainly carried out in cyberspace on a global scale. In addition to setting up headquarters, there is no need to set up physical business departments in most countries and regions. The taxation in this area cannot be supervised at all. As long as we seize this point and investigate, it will be very fruitful. ”
After all, this was the first time Straksha handled a case with David, so he still wanted to show off. After studying it for a while, he put forward some of his own opinions and suggestions.
“What about the others?”
"Other big companies like Oracle and INVISTA also have some problems. Oracle has problems with a few acquisitions, and INVISTA's products are irreplaceable and have basically been in a monopoly position in the industry over the years, so their problem lies in Regarding the issue of inflated prices and accounts, as for..."
"Giggle..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside, and David had to He said first: "Come in."
The person who came in was McCalla who came to pick them up. He said: "Inspector General David, all the people summoned are here and have been arranged to wait in the conference room outside. .”
