Chapter 397 Two people fighting
Wait a minute...
Kakila seemed to have thought of something, put away her thoughts and looked at Windsor and asked: "I heard some rumors that this David seems to be trying to win over our former president, and as far as I know, this former president is bent on making a comeback in 2024. What do you think of this?"
"This? This is not a rumor, it should be true, but don’t worry, Madam Vice President. Although this bill passed the Senate with your support, if our current president really refuses to sign and is impeached and steps down, then this bill will You still need to sign the bill!”
“And you will still be in office for nearly two years. During these two years, both the IRS and David will definitely rely on you a lot. …”
Windsor's meaning is obvious, that is, they still have great value, and this value is much greater than that of the former president.
So as long as they negotiate or fight for it, even if David has offered some price to win over the former president's family, it is not irreversible.
Kakila nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Windsor's statement, and then she immediately ordered: "Without further ado, let's go to the IRS now and have a good 'negotiation' with David. . ”
According to her status as vice president, generally anyone she wants to see, except the president, is eligible to be summoned to the mansion to meet.
But at this time, Kaqila no longer cares so much in order to show her sincerity. She plans to lower her posture in order to win David's full support when the time comes.
...
Half an hour later, at the gate of the General Administration of Taxation.
A motorcade arrived at the door, and in one of the Maybach cars, Ivanka and his daughter got out.
But just when they wanted to step into the door, the loud noise behind them forced them to stop.
Looking back, it turned out that another convoy had arrived here.
"Father, this is the vice president's motorcade!"
Ivanka recognized the owner of the motorcade at a glance and reminded him with a frown.
When he heard this, the man in the red scarf was a little surprised, but his expression soon darkened.
But before they could think too much, Kaqila came down from the stopped motorcade with her chief of staff, Windsor.
The two of them were also quite surprised when they saw Ivanka and his daughter standing at the door.
But Kaqila soon reacted, pretending to be nonchalant, walked up to say hello: "Mr. Thompson, what a coincidence..."
"Yes, Madam Vice President, what a coincidence... ..."
Although Kaqila is now his 'number one enemy', there is no other way. She is the vice president after all, and it is really difficult to break her face in public.
“I don’t know, Mr. Thompson, what are you doing here at the IRS?”
Kakira actually already roughly knew the other party’s intention, it was just that she would win when she saw this bill. , and then she was ready to seek refuge with David just to get some light, but at this time she still pretended not to know and asked.
"It's nothing. I came to Inspector General David to discuss something. By the way, Madam Vice President, what are you doing here?"
Kakila was silent for a moment, and then replied: "That's fine too. What a coincidence, I also came to Inspector General David to discuss something."
Hearing this, the father and daughter looked at each other.
They came to David about the 2024 presidential election. Why did Kaqila come here?
It can’t be such a coincidence, is it also for this matter?
Having said that, it stands to reason that since the bill has passed the Senate, Kachila, as the Senate President, should be ready to submit it to the president.
But before the bill has been submitted to the president, he has gone to the IRS to see David. It is very likely that he has some idea of "raising the price"!
If this is the case, then we cannot let the other party take the advantage first!
Thinking of this, the man in the red scarf replied anxiously: "Is that so? Please wait a moment, Madam Vice President. Inspector General David has been looking for me many times, and I finally got out today. , I should be able to finish talking about him soon!"
After saying this, he and Ivanka walked inside without looking back, for fear of being robbed.
But at this moment, an unpleasant sound behind him forced him to stop.
"Mr. Thompson, please wait!"
The man in the red scarf patiently turned his head and asked: "Is there any problem, Madam Vice President?"
"I We have some urgent national matters to discuss with Inspector General David, so please wait patiently and don’t delay the state affairs!”
Kakila is indeed a little dissatisfied with the other party’s attitude. You are a former president, but now you have stepped down, you are just a businessman.
And as the second boss of Dangdang America, you have such a big air, why do you make me wait?
So what she said is also telling the other party that you must understand your status now!
Let me wait? Do you still have this qualification now?
Ivanka’s father has always been a very upright character. When he heard this, he couldn’t stand it anymore and immediately retorted: “Ms. Vice President, everything has to come on a first-come, first-served basis. We come first. Logically speaking. We should go in and talk to Inspector General David about our matters first. Isn’t this unreasonable?”
“What’s so unreasonable...”
"Okay, Madam Vice President, Sir, Inspector General David said that since you are all here, let's go up and talk to him together!"
Just when the two of them were still wanting to fight, at this time Inside the IRS General Office, a staff member came out to remind.
Once David knew they were coming, the two stopped bickering, glared at each other, and then followed the staff member inside.
Office of the Inspector General.
Seeing two groups of people coming in one after another, David put down the documents in his hands, stood up and said, "If anything happens to Madam Vice President, just call me. How can I ask you to come in person?"< br>
"I know that after the foreign tax avoidance bill passed the Senate, Inspector General David's work is relatively busy, so I don't think you are wasting your time. Besides, I, the Vice President, am very free on weekdays, so it doesn't matter if I come here in person."
This time I came to ask for help from David, so Kaqila’s attitude was naturally very low.
"Is that so... Okay then!" David turned to look at Ivanka and his daughter, and said, "Mr. Thompson, I have been unable to see you many times during this period. Yes, I didn’t expect to finally see him today.”
Of course he knew what the other party was thinking when he came to see him at this time. It was just to see that he had the upper hand and made a choice, but he It didn't break it directly.
The man in the red scarf was speechless and could only smile awkwardly.
The reason why he was reluctant to see David before was mainly due to the power of the three major groups, so he didn't really want to get involved at this juncture and cause trouble.
But what I didn’t expect was that David was so skillful that he managed to take over both houses of Congress and now has an absolute advantage.
What worries him most is that Kaqila may disrupt his situation, so he can only be forced to make a choice.
"Inspector General David, the off-site tax avoidance bill has successfully passed the Senate. I am here this time to express my congratulations to you in person..."
Before the man in red scarf could speak first, Kaqira said this in order to seize the initiative.
“Thanks to the Vice President for this matter. If it weren’t for the crucial vote of the Vice President, it would be difficult to pass our bill.”
Hearing David's words, Kaqila felt extremely grateful at this time, and even secretly glanced at Ivanka and her daughter with provocative eyes.
That look seemed to say: Did you see me? Now in this camp, it is me, Kaqila, who can really make the decision, not you and your daughter!
Father and daughter are not blind, so of course they saw the proud look in Kaqira's eyes.
However, although the father and daughter were furious at the moment, they really didn't know how to refute it, because if the bill was passed this time, the vice president had indeed made a great contribution.
"By the way, Madam Vice President, why are you here this time? Isn't it just to congratulate the bill on passing the Senate?"
"Well... of course not... …”
Kakira glanced at Ivanka and his daughter, but hesitated to speak.
"Mr. Thompson is our friend. If you have any questions, just say it, Madam Vice President!"
The reason why David wanted to talk to the former president many times was of course because he saw the influence behind his family.
And now his words are hinting to the other party, I already regard you as one of my own, I hope you will be wiser in the future!
Sure enough, although Ivanka and his daughter did not say anything after hearing this, they were still a little moved by David's attitude of not treating them as outsiders.
"Then I said, this is it. This bill has passed the Senate. The White House will definitely make some statements next. I would like to ask if there is anything else that I need to do or prepare in advance. "
"If the situation I told you before really happens in the White House, then just be ready to take over. If there is anything else, I will notify you. Yours!”
David's words made Ivanka and his daughter look at each other secretly.
Their guess is correct. If the White House refuses to sign, then David does have plans to attack Paiden, and then support Kaqila to take office, so as to sign the bill and make it official!
"I understand, by the way, this is what I plan to do after I take office..."
After Kaqila took office, she elaborated on some of America's plans and construction. out.
Of course, the most important thing is to use the tax funds collected by the IRS bill.
After listening, David nodded slightly: "Ms. Vice President, your plan is good. If you really develop according to our vision, then I will apply to the director for approval of this fund!"
"Since Inspector General David said this plan is good, then I will strictly implement it according to it, but..."
At the end, Kaqila hesitated again He looked at Ivanka and his daughter.
"I have already said that Mr. Thompson is one of us, if you have any questions, just say it!"
"Okay."
Kaqila organized her words and said slowly: "Any of these plans will take at least three or four years to achieve outstanding results, and Inspector General David, you also know, if I now If he takes over, he will only have less than two years, and I am afraid it will have an impact on these plans..."
She did not explicitly ask for re-election in 24 years, but the people present were not fools. How could you not understand?
Especially for Ivanka and his daughter at this time, for them, whatever they fear comes true!
They came here for the 2024 presidential election.
I didn’t expect that Kaqira’s arrival now was also for this matter!
It was really a car crash!
But no matter what, it is absolutely not allowed to steal their chance to regain the throne in 24 years!
The man in the red scarf immediately retorted angrily: "Vice President Kaqila, you just have to make a good plan during your term. As for your successor after your term is over, your successor will naturally continue your plan. You don’t have to worry about this!”
What he said was actually telling Kaqila that your plan has been approved by David.
Well, when I get back to that position, I will naturally be able to make myself look nice!
Of course Kaqira understood it, but since it was all said and done, there was no reason to back down.
She immediately replied: "Mr. Thompson, every leader has his own vision and thoughts. For example, some drivers can drive trucks, while some can only drive cars. If you drive a car, If the driver insists on driving the truck, the car may be destroyed and no one will be killed!”
Kakila was actually sarcastic. These plans were all made by me. If your replacement comes who knows nothing, what will you do if he messes up?
Of course the man in the red scarf also understood the other party’s sarcasm towards him. He was so angry that he directly pointed at Kaqila’s nose and cursed: “Fake Kaqila, who do you think is the liar? Who drives a truck?”
Back then, he dared to scold Nancy on such an important occasion in Congress, but now he is even less afraid in such a private occasion. A vice president with no real power.
"Don't worry, Mr. Thompson, I'm not..."
"Okay!"
Just when the two of them wanted to continue bickering, David couldn't stand it anymore and hit him directly. Duan said: "Ms. Vice President, what you said makes sense... But, 24 years is still a long time ago, and it is also very important. It needs to be considered in the long term. It is not easy to make a decision now!"
Kakila's face darkened when she heard this, but Ivanka and her daughter next to them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as David is not determined to support Kaqila's re-election in 24 years, then their chances are still very good!
But then they have to think carefully about how to get David's support.
