"That's right. When Inspector General David comes, I think it will be you who takes the lead in this matter!"
"I agree."
"Me too. Agree..."
Charlie's words made representatives of other major families agree.
"No, no, no... Charlie and your family have more say in finance. I think it is safest for you to speak up about this matter, Charlie."
Bessemer waved his hands repeatedly.
He is not a fool. Judging from David's character, it is very possible to engage in the Federal Reserve.
And if he raises this matter now, what if he offends David?
He didn't want to do something that might cause trouble.
“Bessemer, you brought up this matter, so you should be the one to take the lead in telling it, right?”
Of course Charlie refused, and quickly declined again.
In this way, the representatives of the major families started wrangling, but they still couldn't come to a result after wrangling for a long time.
Finally, the helpless Bessemer looked at Sean, who had been silent, and asked: "Mr. Sean, don't you want to express your position on this matter?"
" There is nothing to express, no matter what Inspector General David wants to do, our Kennedy family will support it and follow it to the end!"
Sean said firmly.
The representatives of the major families who heard this were speechless for a while.
But if you think about it carefully, Sean has his reasons for being so determined.
After all, the Kennedy family is very different from other families like them.
Strictly speaking, these families have no personal grudges with the three major groups, and they even had some cooperation in the past.
But the Kennedy family is different.
Not to mention that my presidential ancestor had his head shot off, and over the years, the Masonic group has almost adopted a method of killing them all to deal with the Kennedy family.
Now that I have finally gotten into David’s lap, it would be strange not to destroy the Freemasonry!
"Let's do this. Since it was you, Mr. Bessemer, who brought up the matter, you should be the first to take the initiative, and Charlie and I will supplement it. This is the fairest, how about it?"
Gotha proposed a compromise.
After hearing this, Bessemer still felt a little uncomfortable, but when he thought about the huge benefits that the Federal Reserve could bring, he finally felt that he should try this appeal, and then nodded: " Okay, that’s it!”
...
About ten minutes later, David finally arrived at the scene. He said: "I'm sorry everyone, I have something to do here that delayed me a little..."
"It's okay, Inspector General David, we were having a good chat!"
Tump quickly came out to smooth things over.
“Okay, let’s get started!”
As David took his seat, everyone also sat down one after another.
"Over this period of time, you have made great contributions to the issue of the remote tax avoidance bill. Now, with your help in the stock market, we have withstood the pressure. Here, I On behalf of our IRS, I would like to express my highest respect to you!”
David took the lead in picking up the wine glass, and the others also raised their glasses.
With the sound of 'shred', everyone drank the champagne in their glasses.
“Next I want to talk about the situation in the stock market. In the past few days, you have acquired many shares of major giants. I believe that as time goes by, you will eventually acquire these giants. control of the company.”
"Of course, I am not saying this to ask you to hand over the control of these companies, or to let you manage them. I just want to tell you that there is an old saying in China, which is to take from the people and use it for the people. We I don’t want you to become a capital group that only cares about profits like the Freemasons in the future..."
David spoke slowly and carefully.
After hearing these words, some of the small thoughts of the major families present were suppressed a lot.
"Okay, that's all I have to say, do you have anything else to add?"
After speaking for about twenty minutes, almost everything that needs to be said has been said. , David stopped talking and looked at everyone.
"Um... Inspector General David, now the overall situation in the stock market has basically been decided. What we want to know is, next... is there any big move... and where can we be used?"
After all, Bessemer did not dare to ask directly about the Federal Reserve, but asked in a circumstantial tone.
“Although things in the stock market seem to be stable, we need to observe for a while to see if they will have any counterattacks. In addition, in the next period of time, We have to turn our attention back to the mid-term elections!"
"Is that so..."
"Mr. Bessemer, we have fought side by side until today, and we can all be considered our own people. If you have anything to ask, just ask.”
David saw that the other party was hesitant to speak, so he spoke directly.
"Inspector General David, aren't there some media and economic experts outside who are speculating now that our off-site tax avoidance law has been passed, and then you and the IRS are going to... have to... The Federal Reserve has made some plans, we want to know if this is the case? "
After Bessemer said this bravely, he looked at David very uneasily.
"Inspector General David, the Federal Reserve's matters are of great importance, and we all want to have a solid foundation before we can help you."
"Inspector General David, we are all our own. , I just want to know some of your ideas in advance so that I can make some arrangements..."
As expected, Gotha and Charlie did not break their promise. After Bessemer's speech, they immediately added and echoed.
Hearing this, David leaned back slightly, tapping his fingertips on the table, and his eyes fell on everyone.
At this moment, the most nervous people are not the representatives of these tuzhou families, but the father and daughter Tang Pu.
When they agreed to join this camp, they gave various hints that they would plan to nationalize the Federal Reserve after they returned to the White House.
But what he didn't expect was that things had developed so far, especially after the bill was passed, coupled with the influx of capital from various countries in the stock market, these things were somewhat beyond their expectations.
Now global capital has obviously seen that David is suppressing Freemasonry, and they want to get involved in revenge and get a share of the pie.
If David wants to take action against the Federal Reserve at this time, then these global capitals will definitely not stand aside and will definitely join in to beat up the trapped dog.
In addition, there are still nearly two years until the 2024 general election. If David changed his mind and wanted to speed up the matter, it would be very difficult for them.
Nationalizing the Federal Reserve is something even Kennedy cannot do.
Once it succeeds, it will be something that can be recorded in history and worthy of praise by the people. How could he want to see such a great achievement fall on the head of Paideng now?
In the thoughts of all parties, David, who had been immersed in the thoughts for a while, finally spoke out: "It's still too early to talk about the Federal Reserve. What I can tell you now is that we do have some ideas. , but I will communicate with you about the specific details when the time is right!”
Hearing this, Tang Pu and his daughter instantly relaxed.
It seems that David has not changed his previous thoughts and still plans to consider this matter in the long term.
And since David does not plan to take action against the Federal Reserve now, it means that their idea still has a chance, which is a good thing!
And here, the representatives of the major families also looked at each other.
Generally speaking, David's answer made them feel very disappointed but also a little relieved at the same time.
What is disappointing is that they are not taking action against the Federal Reserve now, which means that their vision of getting a piece of the pie has been frustrated for the time being.
In addition, the reason why I say I am relieved is because there is no need to start a war with the Federal Reserve now, but they can also discuss this matter in the long term.
The atmosphere in the private room was silent for a while. Bessemer remembered something and reminded: "Inspector General David, the Federal Reserve is the foundation of the country. If it is touched, it may trigger an unprecedented financial tsunami. If it must be touched, If so, we must be more cautious about this matter!”
"Bessemer is right. The Federal Reserve not only controls the economic lifeline of our country, but as the U.S. dollar is the world's financial currency, it can also be said to control the financial lifeline of the world. A solid plan must be in place..."
“…”
Following Bessemer, people like Gotha and Charlie also issued reminders one after another.
Now we are all in the same boat, and they don’t want to end up capsizing in the gutter because of the Fed’s affairs.
“I understand, there is no need to discuss this matter too much now. When it needs to be discussed, I will let you know the specific details!”
"Okay, let's not digress. The three major groups have ceased operations in the stock market today. It is worth celebrating for all of us. We will not continue to talk about official business tonight. Cheers!"
Seeing that David didn't want to go into too much detail about this, and everyone understood the point and stopped asking further questions, and then entered the atmosphere of changing glasses.
Drinking for three rounds.
At this time, it was already past 11 o'clock.
“Okay everyone, that’s it for today. I still have a lot of official business to deal with tomorrow, so I’ll stop here and see you next time!”
David stood up, greeted everyone, and left immediately.
Today's meeting, which was in the nature of a celebration banquet, was officially over.
In the remaining days, since there was no longer much pressure on the stock market, David was able to fully investigate the foundation's affairs.
The internal confidential data of these foundations has long been mastered by David. After the investigation team he sent came in to investigate and compare, it became more solid that these major foundations were involved in tax evasion. .
The time has come on February 9th.
The Internal Revenue Service officially issued an announcement confirming that JP, WK, and AQM foundations are suspected of tax evasion and other crimes, and will freeze all assets of these foundations.
As soon as this news came out, the stock prices of other foundations plummeted instantly. Countless managers who were afraid of being implicated even resigned overnight and ran away. The entire Wall Street was plunged into considerable turmoil.
Manhattan Branch.
"Inspector General David, according to your instructions, we have frozen the funds of the three major foundations. In addition, the investigation of other foundations is also in progress..."
In the office, Nahum is reporting to David about the work of the foundation.
After hearing what he said, David nodded slightly and replied: "Very good, the semi-monthly report on the off-site tax avoidance bill will come out tomorrow. I need to go back to the General Administration, and I will leave the matters here to you."
"Don't worry, Inspector General David, just leave these tasks to our Manhattan branch."
"Okay."
The next day, David got on the connecting plane and returned. Arriving in Washington.
After returning to the General Administration, he first met with Obadiah, Donald and other senior officials, and then followed them to the Tax and Economic Office.
The reason why they came here is also very simple.
That is to use the national tax system here to see how much tax revenue will be created in this half-month cycle after the implementation of the off-site tax avoidance bill.
"How about Candona, have you calculated the statistics?"
"Well... let me see..."
Candona, the head of the general office , after carefully looking at the report in his hand, he frowned and said: "According to the introduction of the bill so far, the tax revenue created is 236.95 billion US dollars?"
"Huh? How come it's just that little?"
Hearing this data, whether it was Obadiah, Donald, or even David himself couldn't believe it.
Because this number is too small.
How low is it?
Let’s put it this way, it’s less than a quarter of what they expected!
"Candona, there is something wrong with the total tax amount. It is impossible that the Remote Tax Avoidance Act only created such a small amount of tax revenue. Did your department make a miscalculation?"
David directly stood up and denied it.
236.9 billion, this doesn’t sound too small, but you must know that this is not just a tax for Silicon Valley or a certain place on Wall Street, this is a tax for the entire United States!
Although in the United States, almost all of the Internet giants in Silicon Valley are registered in overseas tax havens.
But in addition to Silicon Valley, many small and medium-sized enterprises across the country have also chosen to register in overseas tax havens in order to reduce their tax payments.
In other words.
The Remote Tax Avoidance Act is a tax that targets the entire United States and all companies registered in tax havens.
In this case, even if you count it with your toes, you will know that it cannot be just over 200 billion US dollars.
"Yes, it is indeed impossible for this bill to bring only this amount of tax revenue. How about this, Inspector General David, please wait first. I will call Reilly over first and let him explain it carefully. What's going on?"
Candona was also puzzled.
Logically speaking, after the passage of the Remote Tax Avoidance Act, their first half-month period should be the time when they recorded the most tax revenue. At that time, they conservatively estimated that it would be more than 9,000 to trillions. How could it be only more than 200 billion? (End of this chapter)
