United states tax collector

In the western suburbs branch, in the director's office, Nissen walked in and reported: "Director, so far, no company in Hollywood has taken the initiative to declare."

David put together the information about Rice Cake Beauty Film Company in front of him, put it on a shelf nearby, and replied: "There are eight major film companies that are suppressing it. It's normal for those small companies not to dare to come forward. Go to Rice Cake Beauty Film company, please bring their person in charge over to me."

"yes."

Not long after Nissen left, Serena walked in and said: "I received a rumor here, and I think it is necessary to remind you."

"What's the news?"

David was slightly interested because he knew that the family behind Serena had extraordinary connections, and the rumors she was talking about this time were probably not trivial.

"I heard that people from Disney are currently lobbying those members of Congress to attack the black tax bill, or... repeal it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, David's face froze.

After Serena revealed the so-called rumor, he speculated on many possibilities, but he never expected that Disney would be so bold as to even think about repealing this law.

You know, the IRS lobbied Congress for many years and spent a lot of effort to pass this bill.

And although it is just a bill targeting criminals, the various regulations contained in it are actually equivalent to expanding the power of the IRS by another three points. The importance of this to the IRS can be imagined.

This bill really needs to be repealed. Not only will the power of the IRS be reduced, but it will also greatly damage the majesty of the IRS!

etc……

David seemed to have thought of something. He stopped his thoughts and said, "Isn't this possible? Even if Disney has the courage to do this, they probably can't influence such a major bill, right?"

He believed that the military-industrial complex, Wall Street, energy groups, Silicon Valley giants such as Google, Guge, WeiRuan, Amazon, and Jewish groups could influence such an important bill in Congress.

But although Disney is not small in scale, it is still far behind the above-mentioned groups. It is just a company with a market value of more than 20 billion US dollars. He does not believe that it can persuade Congress to attack their black tax bill.

"Although Disney's market value is only over 200 billion, don't underestimate them. I don't know if you have heard of the infamous 'Mickey Mouse Act'. Although this act is not important, the Disney Group Since they can lobby Congress to amend it many times, it proves that they have some influence in Congress."

"In addition, this company was founded by Walt Disney, who was of Jewish origin, and this company is still controlled by Jews. The role that Jewish groups can play in the United States does not require me to Say more?"

To be honest, Serena and her father were ecstatic when they received the news that the Disney Group was going to lobby Congress.

Because as they said, the big boss behind Disney is a Utahn. Although he is not a core member of the Utahns, the Utahns have always been a close alliance.

If something happens to a member, it is impossible for others to just sit back and ignore it, or do nothing to save it!

Maybe this is the key to provoking a dispute between the Jewish people, or the Freemasons and the IRS!

David frowned. According to what Serena said, there might be some trouble this time. Not to mention whether Disney can lobby Congress, but as long as this gets out, it will inevitably happen instantly. It caused an uproar at the IRS.

Moreover, this matter originated from his tax inspection in Los Angeles. If this matter was not settled, how could his inspection operation continue?

"But there is no need to worry too much at the moment. According to my understanding of Congress, this bill does not affect the core interests of those consortiums or the powerful. Moreover, the United States is currently under financial constraints, and the White House will never allow this bill to be cut. The bill brings revenue and expenditure, so they probably just want to use this to stop you from pressing them!"

David nodded slightly, agreeing with Serena's view.

But even if this is the other party's bluff, it's still very serious, just like the news that their western suburbs branch is going to conduct a tax audit on Hollywood, the stock prices of major Hollywood film companies will plummet the next day.

The same goes for the IRS. As long as Disney spreads rumors that it wants to attack their black tax bill, those who have lost profits, such as the criminal groups who have suffered heavy losses due to their black tax bill, will probably immediately get involved. and came in to add fuel to the fire, causing a series of chain reactions in the national IRS system.

"Don't worry, I will continue to help you monitor the movements and latest news from all sides!"

Serena felt quite proud because she could see that David might really need their help now.

Because when it comes to matters involving Congress, not to mention David, even the Internal Revenue Service has little influence. Only established political families like them in the United States can have some influence in Congress.

…

Half an hour later, Nissen pushed in the door and interrupted David, who was still in his thoughts. He said: "Director, the people from Mikuamei Film Company are here."

David put away his thoughts and replied: "Invite them in."

"yes."

Under the leadership of Nissen. Soon two men and one woman were brought in.

"Director David, my name is Smollett, the CEO of Rice Cake Movies. This is Raymond, our company's vice president, and this is Lucy, a member of the board of directors."

The leading man introduced himself first, and then introduced the men and women on the left and right.

"Hello Mr. Smollett, Mr. Raymond, Ms. Lucy."

David shook hands with the three of them one by one, then motioned for them to sit down, and finally he sat down too.

"Now that you're here, Director David, I won't beat around the bush. In one sentence, what do you want?"

As soon as he sat down, Smollett asked very bluntly.

David leaned back and replied calmly: "Since you have asked this, then I will say the same thing, as long as you rice cakes take the lead in paying the taxes you should pay, then I will not It’s that simple to embarrass you!”

Smollett seemed to be prepared. He opened his briefcase and took out a stack of information and placed it in front of David: "Director David, our company's taxation is clean. This is our account books and tax payment." You can look at the list as you like!”

However, David had no intention of looking through it, and replied with a hint of disdain: "Do you really think that these lists alone can prove your innocence? Or do you really think that I can't find out about your company?" What’s wrong with you?”

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the three of them darkened.

Since David can find out the problems with so many of Fuchs Film Company's movie stars, it probably won't be difficult to find out the problems with their rice cakes.

And even if they really can't be found, with David's methods, if he really wants to mess with them, he can just make up any charges just like he did with people from human rights organizations before.

After a long pause, Smollett said: "Tax Commissioner David, we came here at your summons today to show respect for you, but I hope you can respect us in the same way!"

In fact, there is no need for him to come. He can just send a department manager to deal with it. The reason why he brought the members of the vice president's board of directors here, as he said, is to express his sincerity and hope that the Western Suburbs Branch will not Let's do some surgery on them first.

But what he didn't expect was that everyone on his side had lowered their stance, and David was still unwilling to let go, as if he wanted to take the lead in taking advantage of their rice cake beauty.

David didn't talk nonsense to him anymore, but used the system function and began to examine the three people one by one.

"What an unexpected surprise..."

After scanning the information of the three people in detail, David muttered in his heart, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved.

Because based on the review of these three Mi Gaomei executives, he not only mastered a lot of dirty information about the other company, but also surprisingly mastered an important secret of the other company.

With this secret in hand, he can be said to have defeated the opponent today!

Putting away his thoughts, David said: "Respect is not as simple as just talking!"

"Director David, what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything else. I just feel that the words "respect me" should not be uttered by your Mi Cake Beauty Company!"

David's arrogant words made the three of them a little uneasy, and they even looked at each other.

But before they could say anything, David continued: "Speaking of which, among the eight major Hollywood film companies, your Mi Gaomei's fate is quite bumpy."

"You were founded in 1924, and the names of your movie stars like Greta Garbo, Charlton Heston, Clark Gable, Katharine Hepburn, and Cary Grant are still shining brightly today."

"The films produced by your company have won a total of 170 Oscars so far. It ranks first among the major Hollywood film companies. It once had a gathering of superstars and created the myth of launching a movie every week."

David's eloquent words made the three of them a little stunned. They didn't understand why the other party mentioned the history of their company.

But before they could figure it out, David continued: "Unfortunately, in the 1990s, with the rise of film companies such as Pixar and DreamWorks, they all seized the opportunity of new special effects and animation technology. Business opportunities, but compared to your rice cake beauty, it looks old-school and unchanged, and there is a lack of blockbusters after the 21st century, so it started to decline."

"A group of consortiums headed by Sunny later formed Mi Gaomei Holding Company. On April 8, 2005, Mi Gaomei Holdings Company acquired your Mi Gaomei Film Company through a leverage of US$4.8 billion. .

"From now on, the equity structure of your company is: Providence Equity Partners holds 29%; Texas Pacific Capital Fund holds 21%; Sunni America holds 20%; Comcast holds 20% ; DLJ Commodity Bank Partnership holds 7% of the shares; Sifang Group holds 3% of the shares.”

"According to tax law, companies registered in tax havens such as the Cairo Islands do not have to pay taxes. However, DLJ Commodity Bank Partnership seems to be registered in the mainland of the country. In other words, this US$4.8 billion in leverage has The 7% tax has been avoided and diluted by you with the five major consortiums."

"Do you need me to invite these major financial groups to come over and verify the leverage funds that year?"

The expressions of the three Smolletts suddenly changed, and then they immediately turned to look at each other, but it could be seen that there was deep doubt in everyone's eyes.

Because the funds and equity structure David mentioned are not public and are confidential information among the secrets of Mijiamei Film Company.

So how did David investigate so clearly now?

No wonder he was able to find problems with so many movie stars and films from Fuchs Film Company.

Judging from the discovery of Fuchs Film Company and their confidential information, it seems that the secrets or black materials of other major film companies are also in the hands of the Western Suburbs Bureau, right?

"Director David, I don't know where you heard this news from, but this leverage of US$4.8 billion has been verified and approved by the regulatory authorities. There is absolutely no problem!"

Smalley's character was uncertain for a while, because there were too many consortiums involved, and he did not dare to admit it immediately. He wanted to find out how much inside information David had on this leveraged transaction.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it!"

David was not in a hurry to refute him, and continued to speak softly: "With the blood transfusion of several major consortiums, your rice cake beauty is indeed showing signs of coming back to life. It's a pity that you had bad luck and broke out in 2008." financial crisis."

"You struggled to support it for another two years, until 10 years later, consortiums that really saw no hope began to abandon you. In the end, you had no choice but to declare bankruptcy and seek another buyer to acquire it."

"In the end, a company called Telescope Entertainment took over your company, but this takeover... was not the same as the previous major consortiums..."

Hearing this, the three Smolletts, who had been silent and listening silently, suddenly became nervous.

David still had no intention of stopping, and continued: "Under the leadership of Telescope Entertainment, you invested in the "Hobbit" trilogy and "007: Skyfall."

"On the basis of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" grossing US$1.017 billion globally, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" once again grossed US$925 million at the global box office, plus the 007 series movie "Skyfall" "A huge success with a box office of US$1.108 billion."

"The investor, your Mi Cake Beauty, has successfully escaped from the debt crisis, and your company has revitalized its television and film businesses. In 2014, it launched a series of new films including "RoboCop", "Hercules" and "The Boys" 2" and "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies", etc., truly brought back to life!"

"But having said that, the videos you released later were indeed successful, but are you sure you can really withstand our investigation?"

The meaning of David's last words was already obvious.

Although these films released by your company are indeed very popular in the market.

But if you want to become bigger and stronger in Hollywood, you must take a different approach.

A company like Fuchs, which is so large, has to exaggerate the capital costs of various movies, so as to increase the market value and finally sell it to Disney at a good price.

Don’t you, Mi Gaomei, just want to copy Fuchs’s routine? !

Smollett squeezed his sweat-stained palms and asked fearfully: "Director David, what do you mean by this? Our films have been strictly inspected by the market. How can they not withstand inspection?"

"Stop fucking pretending to me. You, Rice Cake Beauty, are currently negotiating an acquisition with Duma Amazon. Do you really think we don't know?"

Seeing that Smollett was still making excuses at this point, David was also a little unhappy.

Upon hearing David's words, Smollett and the other three were stunned, and even the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch.

"If a giant company like Amazon wants to acquire a film company of your level, it must be approved by the anti-monopoly regulatory agency of Oumeng. However, your company has a lot of bad things, and it only takes four words to get approval. It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven!”

"So several senior executives of your company are busy 'entertaining' with Oulmeng antitrust supervision officials recently. Do we need to make a fuss about this matter?"

The most important piece of information David got from examining these three people before was the information that Mijiaomei was negotiating an acquisition with Duma Amazon.

Hollywood movies are actually in decline today, and the same is true for the eight major film companies.

In this era where capital is king, if you want your company to survive, you must find a strong backer.

Fuchs Film Company, for example, found Disney, an industry giant, and was acquired by this giant in 2019, successfully gaining a foothold.

If Mi Gaomei wants to continue to survive in the film industry, the best choice is to find a backer, and according to the information obtained through review, they are looking for Amazon, an Internet giant.

The transaction between the two parties has now reached a critical stage. If the IRS gets involved or creates a scandal for this rice cake beauty, then this deal will be a sure thing!

Thinking of this, David crossed his arms on his chest, and Mi Gaomei spent a lot of effort to make the financial report look good, so that the dumb Amazon would like it.

He couldn't believe that at this juncture, the senior executives of Mi Gao Mei wanted to expose their company to a scandal.

If you don't want to be exposed, you can only do what he asks!

In fact, after hearing David say that Amazon wanted to acquire them, the three Smolletts were completely in disarray.

Because their rice cake company has put all its treasure on the success of being acquired by Amazon. If David really causes some scandal for them at this stage, 90% of the acquisition will fail.

As a result, not only a few of them will face bankruptcy, but the entire company will also do the same. Those shareholders holding stocks will kill them!
