Chapter 385 Senate voting begins
"By the way, Ms. Ivanka, please tell your father for me that I welcome his arrival and hope that he can make the right choice as soon as possible!"
Just when Ivanka wanted to follow and leave, David suddenly stopped him.
In fact, the reason why he invited Ivanka to come and listen was because he wanted to use this meeting to show more of his strength to the other family.
In any case, the former president and his family are indeed worthy of winning over!
"Okay Inspector General David, I will bring the message to you!"
Ivanka replied, and then turned and left with Japheid.
After going down to the first floor and entering the car, Jafed couldn’t bear it any longer and asked: “Ivanka, if we can get a share of the companies we took over, what would it be like for our family? But there is a lot to gain. I think I should persuade my father. After all, David's strength cannot be underestimated now."
"What are you thinking about? That is indeed a big cake. , but look at who you are fighting with, they are all big families from each state!"
"If we really conflict with them over this matter, what about the 2024 presidential election? ”
"You know, our relationship with the three major groups is not harmonious. We may still need the support of these families by then. Are you going to throw away larger interests for the sake of these immediate interests?"
Previous Yi Wan Ka was dissatisfied with what her husband said in public. Now when he heard such a question, he was naturally furious, so he directly rebuked him.
After being scolded like this, Japheid also shrank his head.
But when he thought about the huge benefits that those companies might generate, he was still a little unwilling, and continued: "I don't think there is any need to fight and care about these families now. As long as we have David's support, then we 24 There is great hope for the 2018 presidential election!”
In fact, what he said does make sense.
Even though those people here just now are from local gangster families in various states, they have obviously been controlled by David.
As long as they are willing to stand by David's side and have David's support, how can they use these so-called local snake families?
"Okay, Japheid, even though David is in the spotlight now, the three major groups are not vegetarians. He hasn't won this 'war' yet, so my father won't do it for the time being. It’s right to take a wait-and-see approach, so don’t say anything more. At this stage, for our family, re-planning to regain the presidential throne is the most important thing!”
“This... okay! . ”
Jafeder was still a little depressed, but seeing Ivanka’s attitude, he didn’t dare to push any further.
Ivanka here turned her head to the side, and upon closer inspection, there was a hint of disgust in her eyes.
Strictly speaking, Jafed was not her ideal partner, and this marriage was arranged by her father.
Originally, her father thought that marrying her to him would help her and her family's career.
What I didn’t expect was that after a period of training and observation, I found that this son-in-law was a tough guy.
Except for having some brains in business, he is basically an idiot in terms of strategy and politics.
For example, just like today's incident, it is obvious that regaining the throne of the president and establishing good relations with the local gangster families in each state are the most important, but this Jafed has been dazzled by those interests.
If you want to fight for the interests of the local snake family, isn't this a small gain at the expense of a big gain?
Look at David again.
At such a young age, he has controlled the local gangster families, senators, and representatives in each state. He is even more powerful in Congress and has overwhelmed the Freemasons. This is a big deal. people!
On the other hand, her husband is far behind. He only cares about petty profits. To describe it in one sentence, it is difficult for him to become a great success!
...
At the same time, in a car that had just left the hotel.
"Uncle, this is an opportunity for our family to move forward. We must seize it!"
Gotha, who was sitting in the car, was talking to a man about fifty years old. The man said.
Of course I am referring to the incident of taking over the company just now.
The three major groups control almost all well-known companies in the United States, such as Guge, Weiruan, and Apple.
Of course, even if the bill is successful and causes turmoil in these companies, they may not have the strength to take down these companies, but they are still somewhat confident that they can take down companies of News Corporation's level.
“Don’t worry, if it really comes to this, then I will definitely convince other people in the family to allocate the funds!”
Gotha calls him his uncle. The man had the same look in his eyes. Full of determination.
At the same time, the major families who left the hotel were also discussing with their family members how to take over the major companies.
...
Time flies very fast, six days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, there may not seem to be much trouble on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent.
The money-burning tactics adopted by the three major groups in the past few days are still very effective.
After all, in a sense, money is really everything!
According to investigation statistics from the Internal Revenue Service, at least a dozen or twenty senators were greatly disturbed by the money-throwing tactics of the three major groups.
And you must know that there are only 100 senators in the Senate, so this ratio is indeed not small.
Of course, these families, headed by Gotha, Charlie, and Bessemer, have indeed spent a lot of money in order to take over their favorite companies in the future.
After the meeting with David, they immediately had a conversation about organizing the senators under their command.
The content of the conversation was, of course, various inducements to promise these senators various benefits so that they would not defect when voting.
In short, what the result will be will be announced tomorrow without any surprise, because tomorrow is the voting session of the Senate!
Washington, Internal Revenue Service, Office of the Inspector General.
"Inspector General, this is the latest list compiled by the major families!"
Munson walked in and handed a dozen documents into Su Yi's hands.
David picked it up and saw that the two senators from Texas had no problem. They promised to fully support the bill to pass the House of Representatives.
And Alabama has also made a commitment.
A dozen states including Ohio and Alaska also said they would stand by him.
These totals, added together, are 45 senators.
Including the 16 people David personally handled, the total number is 61!
On the surface, this number seems to be a lot. Not only is the passage of the bill as stable as an old dog, but it can even bypass the speech procedures of the legislators.
But it is still the same as the previous votes in the House of Representatives, it is just a clear vote.
Over this period of time, the Kennedy family, as well as the families in various states and him, have spent a lot of effort to ensure that there will be no changes during the voting.
However, no matter how much effort is expended, it is impossible to be foolproof.
Because these congressmen are all human beings, they are not machines without emotions. People have emotions, and they will also have the thoughts of the states.
In other words, if there are any defectors among these 61 senators, it would not be a surprise.
But having said that, if more than two people defect, it will be a bit troublesome.
Unfortunately, the Senate voting will begin tomorrow, and there is no more time for him to operate.
Otherwise, maybe we can get a few more congressmen. "The Inspector General, the Director and Donald are already in place..."
While David was still worried, Keppel came in to remind him.
David had no choice but to stand up first, take the elevator all the way to the door of the conference room, push the door open and walk in.
"What about David, how are we doing now?"
Obadiah asked immediately after David came in and sat down.
"According to the latest list compiled by each state, plus the number we have in hand, the total is 61!"
"61..."
Hearing this number, the people present were a little happy at first, but they soon calmed down.
Obviously, like David, they knew that this was just the number of votes on the surface, but not the other way around. Foolishly, I thought this was the final vote count.
“Forget it, let’s vote and see the truth!”
At the same time, in Senado Island.
In addition to Henrietta, the seven major families, and other members of the Freemasonry, Nan Xi also came here.
Because Nan Xi is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and this vote is presided over by the Senate, there is no need for her to appear tomorrow.
And she came here today just to explore the specific situation. After all, everyone is in the same boat now. If the bill is passed, she will not have a hard time.
"Tell me, how are our votes!"
Henrietta's voice interrupted the thoughts of everyone present, and Joshua immediately replied: "So far So far, the number of votes we have is...56!"
"Is it reliable?"
"This..."
Joshua was a little embarrassed. Before voting, who could dare to say that the number of votes in his hand would be reliable?
What if I have made a guarantee now, but the number of votes cast is unsatisfactory, I can’t afford to take the blame
“Speak!”
“ Mr. Henrietta, I can’t guarantee whether they can stop the bill from being passed, but judging from the current form, it will definitely be difficult for them to pass it if the speech blocks it.”
The number of votes currently counted on his side is 56.
The speech at the filibuster meeting requires 60 votes.
So Joshua felt that even if there were people on his side who defected during the battle, there would definitely not be as many as 16 people.
"Okay, things had better develop as you said, otherwise..."
Henrietta's words made Joshua shudder.
This bill has reached the stage of the Senate, and if it can't be stopped, even he doesn't know what to do.
But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to say anything more. We can only wait and see the results tomorrow.
While the Freemasonry was holding a meeting, the Illuminati Angsa Group was also making final arrangements.
This night is destined to be a night that keeps many people awake all night.
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, a large number of media reporters gathered at the gate of Parliament Hill.
"Hello viewers, we have arrived at the gate of Capitol Hill, and senators from various states have also arrived one after another. Let us take a look at the latest progress of today's off-site tax avoidance bill?"
"Viewers friends Hello everyone, after a long week, the Senate review process has finally been completed. The voting process for the off-site tax avoidance bill will be held today. Let us keep our eyes open and take a good look at whether this bill can pass the Senate today. Vote! "
"..."
The reporters were excitedly reporting, and the audience in front of the TV were also discussing with great interest.
“In the last round of voting in the House of Representatives, there were 222 votes in favor of passing the bill. This is a huge advantage. It will definitely pass the Senate today.”
"It's hard to say. There are 435 members in the House of Representatives, so the variables are huge, and there are only 100 members in the Senate. This will definitely become more anxious."
"According to the Washington Post, the opposition The congressmen plan to block the vote of this bill by giving speeches without time limit. I don’t know if it is true. "
"No, is it so disgusting to give speech without time limit? ”
Amidst a burst of discussion, the time came to 9.30.
At this time, in the Senate lobby, the senators had entered and taken their seats one after another, and the invited internal media had also set up their cameras.
In the passage, a man with white hair and a high nose walked out, and then came to the podium
He is the current Senate Majority Leader, Grace Elder, and today's vote will He will preside over it
"Hello everyone, I am Senate Majority Leader Grace Elder, and I will preside over today's vote."
"But here. Before that, I have something to add.”
“The first point is that the bill on off-site tax avoidance has aroused nationwide discussion since its inception.”
"But now that the legislation has been successful, and even passed the House of Representatives and entered our Senate, this can be regarded as proving that this bill has its value."
"Therefore..."
< br>“…”
Originally everyone thought.
This Grace will also, like Nan Xi last time, give a brief opening remarks and then get into the topic.
Unexpectedly, he had no intention of stopping and kept talking for almost twenty minutes.
Now, even the idiot understood his intention.
As many people and media reports have speculated, the opposition members are indeed going to use speeches to block the vote of the bill.
"Xie Te, it is indeed used in such a way, it is so disgusting!"
"Okay, okay, you bastard congressman, stop talking, hurry up and get to the point. ! ”
"Are you bothering me? Just a few words is enough. Get out of here. We want to vote!"
Seeing this, people who supported this bill gave up and began to protest online. He cursed.
