United states tax collector
Chapter 253 Penalty of 8 billion US dollars
Western Suburbs Branch.
"Shortly after our announcement was issued, several major film companies immediately went to Disney headquarters for a meeting, but judging from the results, it seems that except for Fuchs and Disney, the other four major film companies The studios are ready to give in."
David was not surprised when he heard Lewis' report.
After he prepared to launch a tax audit on Hollywood, these movie giants first launched human rights organizations to engage him, and then pushed members of Congress to get involved, but in the end he was defeated one by one.
Now it can be considered that Guizhou Donkey is at the end of his rope.
Moreover, these days, the stock prices of these major companies have fallen sharply every day, and it is normal for them not to dare to continue to struggle.
Disney is different. In addition to film and television, they are also involved in many industries. The boss behind it is said to have a complicated network of relationships, so it is understandable that he will not compromise so easily.
but……
Since you have to choose to toast rather than eat as a penalty, you have to pay the due price!
There was a hint of coldness in David's eyes.
The next day, at 9 a.m.
Because the Western Suburbs Bureau issued an ultimatum to several major film companies yesterday, a large number of media reporters gathered outside the gate today.
Soon after, seeing David's appearance, countless media came forward with microphones.
"Director David, your tax filing deadline for several major film companies is up today. What measures will be taken next?"
"Director David, according to the information I received, Disney has not expressed its position yet. What do you think?"
"Director David, there are rumors that the three MPs who previously attacked the black tax bill stopped because they were threatened by you. Is this true?"
"..."
A group of reporters asked questions in a hurry.
However, David had no intention of answering. He walked through the crowd and walked into the hall, getting ready for a new day of work today.
And just half an hour after he walked into the bureau, four cars were greeted in front of the western suburbs branch, as if they had agreed.
When the car door opened and they saw the people getting out, the media immediately went crazy.
"That's Warner CEO Irvine!"
"That's the president of Columbia Pictures."
"People from Paramount are here too..."
"..."
After people from the four major film companies entered the lobby, the news quickly spread throughout the Western Suburbs Branch. Then these people were taken into the elevator and all the way to David's office.
"Director David, I am the CEO of Warner Bros. Film Company, and my name is Alvin."
"I am the president of Columbia Pictures, Ace El."
"..."
With Aiwen taking the lead in the introduction, people from the other three major film companies also revealed their identities.
"Hello gentlemen, please take a seat!"
After shaking hands with these people one by one, David sat down, leaned back in his chair easily, tapped his fingertips on the table in an orderly manner, and said lightly: "Since you are all here, let's show your attitude!"
The people from the four major film companies looked at each other, and finally Ivan said: "Yesterday, I received a notice from your Western Suburbs Branch, saying that our tax problem was found. This is very puzzling to us, because our company... …”
David didn't have the patience to listen to him anymore. He knew that these people would not give up until they reached the Yellow River, so he simply pushed the thick stack of documents on the left side of the desktop.
"This is……?"
"Didn't you say that your company has no problem? You will know if you take a look."
These are all the evidence David collected through Goldfinger and then commanded his men.
Ai Wen and others did not dare to neglect, and immediately opened the documents and found the documents about their respective companies, and checked them carefully.
Soon, the faces of people from major film companies turned ugly.
Although they could already predict it, since David could get the dirty information from Rice Cake, United Artists, and the previous Fuchs Film Company, he could also get them.
But when these confidential information were actually presented in front of them, they still couldn't help but feel trembling.
Fortunately, they are here today. If they really follow Disney's words and go all the way to the dark side, then there will definitely be an extremely tragic end waiting for them.
"Director David, first of all, according to your information, I admit that our Warner Film Company has indeed committed some tax violations over the years. We are willing to be punished, but I hope you can treat it leniently. !”
Alvin was the first to stand up and express his opinion.
"We at Columbia Film Company are also hoping to win leniency from Director David and the Western Suburbs Bureau."
"So are we at Paramount Pictures."
"Our Huanqiu Film Industry is also..."
Now that we have reached this point, the remaining three major film companies still have no excuses and can only strive for leniency.
"very good!"
David was quite satisfied with the understanding of these people, and then said: "You are still aware of current affairs, so I don't want to do anything to you. After all, our IRS mainly collects taxes, so you can give us every Paying a tax evasion penalty of US$2 billion is enough!”
The heads of several major film companies were quite pleased to hear the previous words, but when they heard the latter amount, their faces suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
damn it.
We all gave in and accepted the punishment. Why did you, Director David, punish us so harshly?
This guy is not so ruthless in killing pigs!
You know, the previous penalties imposed by Mikuamei and United Artists were only US$1.5 billion.
After calming down, Ivan said cautiously: "Director David, your amount... is a bit too huge. The film industry is also in a decline stage now. Can you reduce it a little if appropriate?"
"Yes, yes, now affected by the economic downturn, the film industry is indeed not as good as before in all aspects, and the revenue of our film companies is getting worse and worse. Director David, please consider reducing the situation as appropriate."
"..."
The others followed suit and bargained.
However, David seemed to have seen through them a long time ago and sneered: "Don't make me miserable here. In Hollywood, apart from Disney, you are the four major movie companies that make the most money."
"And the rice cakes are so beautiful, but they can still spend 1 billion. Don't tell me that you can't come up with this money."
"It's okay if you can't get it. Our IRS doesn't have appraisers. I'll send people to your company to see what other high-quality assets there are. I'll help you deal with it!"
David's words made the people from the four major film companies speechless.
Because Mi Gaomei's current financial situation is well known, and it can be considered very bad. And these major film companies are giants with a market value of tens of billions of dollars. There is no reason why they can't raise 2 billion.
But market value is market value, and cash is cash.
If they were to come up with these 2 billion in one go, their vitality would be severely damaged.
In addition, no one's money comes from the strong wind. If they can get less and pay less, they will save more, so they continue to complain in various ways.
ten minutes later.
David looked at his watch and said impatiently: "My time is limited. If I say 2 billion, it's 2 billion. If I keep bothering and wasting my time..."
"Okay, okay, you said 2 billion, just 2 billion!"
Looking at this posture, Ivan dared to continue to pester. If David got angry and added another 1 billion 800 million to them, it would be strange if he didn't vomit blood.
And Alvin flinched at first sight.
Naturally, the other three major film companies did not dare to continue to pester, and they all expressed their willingness to pay. After that, they left the office with a dejected look, went downstairs and walked out of the door of the Western Suburbs Branch.
"Mr. Irvine, have you and Director David finished negotiating?"
"..."
Seeing a few people coming out, reporters who had already been hungry and thirsty immediately came forward to ask questions, hoping to get the content of the conversation as soon as possible.
Ivan raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to calm down first, and then said: "After some discussions with Director David, we admitted that there were indeed some negligences in the previous tax declaration, which was also profound. After realizing the mistake, after some corrections from Director David, we will comply with the tax evasion penalty of US$2 billion, and that’s it.”
The reason why he accepted the interview was firstly because of David's request, and secondly to tell the market that the tax dispute between them and the Western Suburbs Branch had been resolved and there was no need to worry about other issues.
"What, a $2 billion tax evasion fine!"
Although the media reporters at the scene had already guessed that once the tax evasion of these major film companies is confirmed today, they will definitely be punished like Mi Gao Mei and United Artists before. But after hearing about the punishment I was still shocked after the gold was actually as high as 2 billion.
The viewers who were watching the live broadcast were also shocked.
But before they could react.
The heads of the remaining three major film companies also stood up one after another and adopted the same rhetoric as Ivan.
When they heard that the three film companies were also fined US$2 billion, the reporters and the audience were stunned again.
But it didn't take long for netizens to react, and a heated discussion ensued.
"24 equals 8, which means that the combined tax evasion fines of these four film companies are as high as 8 billion US dollars!"
"Eight billion US dollars is equivalent to three aircraft carriers. This is all Director David's contribution!"
"With the addition of Rice Cake and United Artists, the total amount reaches 9.5 billion U.S. dollars, and this is just a Hollywood movie company. If Director David goes to Silicon Valley and Wall Street, what kind of harvest will he gain? ?”
"Go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley, you can have this!"
"..."
Many netizens were still shocked by this amount.
But after some netizens brought up the topic of Silicon Valley and Wall Street, everyone's attention was instantly drawn.
After all, most netizens are from the middle and lower classes of this country.
The life and death of rich people, consortiums, and capital companies have nothing to do with them.
The more taxes the IRS receives, the more budget it will have to spend on education, facilities, health insurance, relief funds and other benefits.
This is more beneficial to the middle and lower class people in this country.
So of course they are incredibly supportive.
"With the exception of Disney and its subsidiary Fuchs Film Company, the eight major Hollywood film companies have surrendered. What do you think Disney is doing now?"
"Disney can now be said to be the commander-in-chief. Of course, even if it is the commander-in-chief, the Disney Film Company is backed by the Disney Group and has a strong foundation of strength. It is hard to say whether it will compromise on this."
"Just wait, anyway, the deadline given by the Western Suburbs Branch is today, and we will know the result soon!"
Seeing that Disney and its brother companies are the only ones left among the eight major Hollywood film companies, people are looking forward to what will happen next.
Disney Films.
After seeing the four major film companies announcing that they had paid a tax evasion penalty of US$2 billion, Okanji was in a state of distress and was talking to the group's senior management to discuss countermeasures.
At this moment, his secretary knocked on the door and came in, and said, "Mr. Okanji, someone from the Western Suburban Branch is here, saying that Director David wants to summon you."
"Summon me?"
Okanji was startled at first, but his expression soon darkened.
Although Disney did not intend to give in, if he dared not to go to Director David's summons, then the IRS auditors would probably rush in and tie him up by force.
Thinking of this, Okanji could only say: "Prepare the car!"
When a gloomy-looking Okanji got out of the car at the entrance of the western suburbs branch, he immediately caused a stir in the media.
"Viewers, now you can see that the main person in charge of Disney Film Company, Okanji, is here. Let's see if he will give in like other film companies?"
"..."
As the media widely reported it, discussions instantly started on the Internet.
Many people believe that since the other seven major film companies have surrendered, Disney must not be able to withstand the pressure, so it has no choice but to surrender.
But many people believe that Disney is, after all, the leader in the domestic entertainment industry and has strong strength. The most important thing is that the boss behind this company is said to have a Yutai background, so this visit is just for 'negotiation' That's it, there will be no real surrender.
As netizens continued to argue.
Some software platforms that smelled the traffic immediately started betting on it.
There are a total of four options in this quiz.
[1: Will Disney choose to pay a huge fine like the other seven major film companies? 】
[2: Disney will continue to resist due to its strong background! 】
[3: Disney chose to resist, but ultimately failed and was enforced! 】
[4: Disney successfully resisted and escaped the sanctions of the Western Suburbs Bureau! 】
Once these bets are placed.
In an instant, tens of thousands of people participated.
