United states tax collector

When they saw a large number of inspectors coming out of the gate of the Western Suburbs Bureau, the media reporters on the scene were stunned, but it only took them a moment to react.

"Friends in the audience, now everyone has seen that almost all the inspectors from the Western Suburbs Bureau came out in full force. Let's see what happens next!"

The media reporters made a brief announcement, then got into their own vehicles and followed the convoy of inspectors from the Western Suburbs Branch.

"It's coming, it's coming, Director David's action is coming, it's really fast!"

"With so many inspectors out, I think they must be cleaning up Disneyland!"

"With so many inspectors dispatched, this is definitely not to arrest some of Disney's top executives. It's not... to seize the Disney property, right?"

"No, my wife works at Disney. If this happens, will she lose her job?"

Such a huge scene naturally aroused heated discussions among netizens online.

When it comes to shutting down all Disney properties, many netizens are shocked and worried.

Disney has hundreds of thousands of employees in the United States alone. If they really want to do this, then why shouldn't these employees who have lost their jobs start making a fuss?

Can David or the IRS really tolerate such consequences?

At the same time, the Disney Studios building.

Because he was caught in the middle and was afraid of becoming cannon fodder, as soon as Okanji returned here, he decisively chose to resign to protect himself.

The person taking over the company now is CEO Bosvido, who rushed back from Europe.

At this moment, he was sitting in the conference room, and sitting on both sides of him were the heads of various departments.

"Don't panic, everyone, listen to me. The Western Suburbs Branch is definitely coming to shut us down. We will not do any obstruction or resistance. However, the employees of each department must be 'pacified' and explained to them. Awesome, do you understand?"

Postvedo didn't say it directly. As long as people from the Western Suburbs Branch dare to cause trouble, you will encourage the employees to death and make them cause trouble for me!

"I understand, Mr. Persvedo."

Although each department did not want to go against the Western Suburbs Bureau, they did not want to lose their jobs, so they all agreed.

"Okay, let's go!"

The heads of various departments turned around and left the conference room without much ink.

About twenty minutes later.

Bucky has brought his team of inspectors to the Disney Studios building.

"action!"

"yes!"

Following his order, 20 inspectors rushed to send it.

"I'm sorry everyone. Due to Disney's alleged tax evasion and refusal to cooperate, the building now needs to be sealed. Please cooperate. Thank you all!"

After entering the hall, the inspectors quickly explained the situation.

Although the employees on site were very dissatisfied, due to the "power" of the IRS, they could only pack up their belongings and walk out of the door.

"Everyone in the audience has seen that, as everyone thought, our Director David is indeed going to seal down the Disney building. So many employees have been kicked out. Now there is a good show. !”

"Breaking news! The Western Suburbs Bureau has officially seized the Disney Studios building. It seems that the Western Suburbs Bureau has already obtained evidence of Disney's tax evasion, otherwise it would not be so decisive!"

"..."

When they saw that what they had imagined before actually happened, the media reporters at the scene immediately started salivating.

There was also heated discussion online.

Amid the discussion among the people, half an hour passed unknowingly.

At this time, it can be seen that not only ordinary employees have been kicked out of the entire building, but also executives such as Persvedo.

"Anyone else?"

"Gone."

"Okay, close the door!"

After confirming that the building was empty, Bucky immediately asked someone to close the company's door.

Immediately afterwards, he personally took two special seals from the IRS and pasted them crosswise in the middle of the door.

"Close the team!"

The mission was completed, and Bucky left with a group of his men.

Only the media reporters, passers-by, and Disney executives and employees who were still catching the hot spots were left.

At this moment, Bosvedo stood up and pretended to be helpless and said to the employees: "We are very sorry that the company has encountered such a situation. Although we don't know how long we will be closed, everyone can rest assured. Well, Disney is a big company and we will give you certain compensation for the suspension of business!"

"However, given that the company has been seized by the IRS, this compensation... it is estimated that it will not be distributed until the end..."

It was fine at the beginning. After hearing that there would be compensation for business suspension, the employees were relatively accepting of it, but at the end of the day, many people started to feel a little uneasy.

Many employees present have various mortgages, car loans, and living bills to pay. It's okay to be closed for three to five days. If the business is closed for ten days and a half, who the hell can withstand it?

And the most important thing is one more thing.

If things continue like this, even if Disney is a big business, there is no guarantee that it will not go bankrupt or, er, have its capital chain broken or something.

By then, let alone getting compensation for business suspension, whether they can get their previous wages is a matter of debate.

"Mr. Postvedo, how long will we be closed this time?"

"Yes, Mr. Postvedo, you also know that we are under a lot of pressure, and there are seniors and juniors."

"Mr. Postvedo, you must give us an accurate answer..."

The employees became more and more panicked as they thought about it. They didn't care what kind of conflict there was between the Western Suburbs Branch and Disney. They only cared about whether their own interests would be damaged.

"The suspension of business does not depend on us, it depends on the Western Suburbs Branch. As for how long... I can't guarantee it, but don't worry, we will do our best to negotiate with the Western Suburbs Branch."

Postvedo still looked helpless.

"Well, if we could negotiate, we would have negotiated long ago. Now it's hard to say."

"Who says it's not the case? Even if the negotiation is successful, with the stock price plummeting and the Western Suburbs Branch forcibly taking away all the funds, I'm afraid the company will have no choice but to lay off employees."

"Vice President Okanji's attitude was already very sincere before, but Director David of the Western Suburban Branch is acting aggressively. He is trying to force us to death!"

After Postvedo finished speaking, the heads of departments below carried out the conversation in the previous conference room and began to pretend to sigh and complain in an attempt to incite the emotions of the employees.

Sure enough, after being incited by these people, the employees who were already very restless became even more uncontrollable.

"This is not the way to go. I think we need to go to the Western Suburbs Branch to ask Director David for an explanation and see when this matter will be resolved!"

"That's right, the Western Suburbs Branch collects taxes as long as they collect taxes, but it can't destroy our jobs. We also have to live!"

"You're right. The Western Suburbs Branch can't just close down the company. If there is anything, we can negotiate, instead of just sealing it all up. This is unreasonable!"

Uneasiness and anxiety began to spread among the employees, and many people began to question the practices of the Western Suburbs Branch.

Coupled with the various push-ups from Persia Vido and the senior officials.

The awe of the employees towards the Western Suburbs Branch was gradually dispelled, and instead they became dissatisfied. Finally, under the organization of thoughtful people, they headed towards the Western Suburbs Branch to seek an explanation.

Because David's instructions were to seize all Disney's properties, when the Disney Film Company was seized, other subsidiaries, brother companies, amusement parks and other places were also seized.

And these employees, under the instigation of their respective senior management, were gradually affected by this trend, and began to take to the streets in groups to protest, or went to the western suburbs branch to prepare for an explanation.

What's even worse is that this trend soon spread across the country.

Because Disney's properties are spread all over the United States, and David's previous idea was to seize all Disney properties.

This naturally includes amusement parks and subsidiaries in other cities.

Therefore, when the Western Suburbs Bureau was taking action, the IRS branches in other cities also received instructions from senior officials to cooperate. Disney's properties across the country were seized by all major branches almost at the same time.

After being incited by Disney managers from various places, these employees began to take to the streets to protest and march.

Although the Disney Group is contributing to this, more importantly, it is the actions that ordinary employees must take in order to safeguard their own interests.

Of course, both David and the General Administration of Washington had already anticipated and countermeasures for all this, and there was no sign of panic.

New York, in a villa near the Atlantic coast in the southeast.

"Humph, this David wants to use this method to force us to submit, and now it seems that he may be suffering a backlash!"

"He is still too young. Our employees of more than 100,000 to 200,000 are making a fuss. Not to mention the IRS, I think the White House has to come to appease him. Just wait, I want to see how he ends up!"

In the hall, Bennett was sitting on the sofa, and two men were sitting on either side of him.

The two men are named Tuttle Disney and Zachary Disney.

Yes, they are also members of the Disney family. They are two brothers from the same mother as Bennett, and they are currently one of the three bosses behind Disney.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Tuttle, the second oldest, couldn't help but ask when he saw that Bennett was silent and seemed to be thinking about something.

"It's a bit strange..."

The more Bennett thought about it, the more something was wrong. He had read David's information and knew that although this man was a bit ruthless in his actions, he didn't seem to be a pure fool.

But now they have actually closed down all walks of life under their banner, causing hundreds of thousands of employees to complain and even launch denunciations. Are the impacts and consequences of this really not considered?

Or... is there any backup plan?

If there was a back-up, what would it be?

"Why are you so weird, brother?"

The two looked at Bennett with some confusion.

"Forget it, let's continue to observe the development of the situation!"

…

Western suburbs branch, gate.

"Cancel the seizure, cancel the seizure!"

"We demand a return to work, we demand a return to work!"

"Director David, we still need to support our children and parents, and we also need this job to support ourselves. Please cancel the seizure!"

Disney employees throughout Los Angeles who were forced to close due to the closure order came here one after another to launch protests.

Without keeping them waiting, David walked out surrounded by Nissenbaki and others.

As soon as they saw him coming out, the protesting crowd became even more excited, and the media reporters also became excited and started snapping photos at him.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what our director has to say. I guarantee that we will get an answer that satisfies you!"

After Nissen's words came out, the people at the scene did become quiet.

"Ahem."

David moistened his throat and said: "First of all, I want to make it clear that we have obtained evidence that Disney was suspected of tax evasion when it acquired 20th Century Film Company. The amount was as high as billions of dollars, and the person in charge of Disney refused to Cooperate, so I ordered the seizure of all Disney properties, which is absolutely in compliance with regulations!"

As soon as these words came out, the media reporters at the scene and netizens on the Internet finally understood.

It turns out that Disney’s suspected tax evasion case is really related to the original acquisition.

But billions of dollars in taxes have been evaded. If penalties and fines are imposed together, it would still be in the tens of billions...

At the thought of such a huge amount, countless people across the country suddenly felt dumbfounded.

"Secondly, before we shut down Disney, we had already made follow-up plans for our employees. We know that Disney's tax evasion has nothing to do with you employees. Once it is really shut down, your interests will be seriously affected. damage."

"Therefore, we will provide a compensation package. We will allocate a sum of money from the tax treasury and will distribute it to the Ministry of Labor during this period of business closure."

"You can apply for a business suspension compensation amount from the Ministry of Labor. This compensation will be based on your previous daily income!"

As soon as the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet. Countless people had blank looks on their faces, thinking carefully about David's words.

But within a minute, these employees became ecstatic.

Disney also promised to give them closure compensation, but this money will not be released until the company solves all the troubles.

To put it simply, the eight characters have not been written yet.

It’s still a matter of debate whether you can get it or not.

But the IRS is different. The IRS has plenty of money.

And David also promised that a sum of funds would be immediately allocated from the tax treasury and then distributed to the Ministry of Labor.

According to what is being said now, they will definitely be able to get the compensation as soon as they apply.

But that's not the most important thing.

David also said that the compensation would be based on their wages.

In other words, although they are temporarily unemployed, as long as they can receive the same salary, wouldn't it be a matter of people lying at home and their wages coming from the sky?

Who can not be happy about such a good thing?

"My goodness, there are hundreds of thousands of Disney employees across the country. If we really want to pay compensation as Director David said, how much will it cost?"

"Director David has collected nearly 10 billion US dollars from several major film companies alone. Now this compensation seems to compensate a large number of people, but in fact, as long as the business is not suspended for a year and a half, it will not It won’t cost hundreds of millions.”

"I finally understand why Director David is so confident and dares to seize a company with more than 200,000 people. It turns out that he relies on his 'money ability'!"

At this time, the Internet was also exploding.

Countless netizens are even more envious of the suspension compensation that Disney employees can receive.

This is equivalent to a paid vacation, it’s so cool!

Except here in Los Angeles.

At this moment, countless Disney employees across the country have changed from a state of indignation to a posture of ecstasy.

But as the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.

New York, in a villa near the Atlantic coast in the southeast.

"Farke!"

"Damn it!"

Tuttle and Zachary, who originally thought David would be in trouble this time, almost vomited blood after hearing David's announcement.

The reason why they didn't panic at all when all their properties were seized was because they wanted to capitalize on the dissatisfaction of employees after the closure, so that David and the Western Suburbs Branch would not be able to survive.

But now it's better. The Western Suburbs Branch directly announced that it would use a sum of money to provide business suspension relief to these employees.

It's no wonder these employees are unhappy.

And their plan was naturally considered bankrupt.

Now they not only have to accept the losses caused by the group's closure, but they have also not caused any harm to the western suburbs branch of Dai He. This can be said to be a loss to grandma's family.

As for Bennett's expression at this time, he didn't look much better. He finally understood why David was so confident. It turned out to be this.

David was sure that they would not be closed for too long, so he dared to openly pay severance pay to these employees. This was too insidious!

"etc……"

Tuttle seemed to have thought of something, turned to look at the two men and said: "Logically speaking, the tax treasury cannot be used by the IRS without the permission of Congress and the Ministry of Finance. Can we now accuse them of exceeding their authority? "

In America, every department has its own responsibilities.

The IRS's job is to collect taxes.

But logically, they have no right to allocate the collected taxes. They can only use them with the permission of Congress, the Ministry of Finance, or the White House.

That's why he wanted to make a fuss here.

Hear the words.

Zachary Bennett's eyes also lit up.

But after a while, Bennett's face darkened, and he shook his head and said: "I guess that his suspension fund was not allocated from the tax treasury. This fund should have been squeezed out of several large companies through David." The film company received a penalty of nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars."

"In other words, this fund is a 'windfall' for both Congress and the Treasury, and they have no plan."

"So, neither the Ministry of Finance nor Congress will stand by us in this matter. I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything!"

Bennett's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on their heads.

But it seems right if you think about it carefully.

If this money was taken from the original planning budget of the Ministry of Finance, then it would be strange for the Ministry of Finance not to fight the IRS, let alone allow it.

But this money was "squeezed" out of several major film companies by David's own efforts. To the Ministry of Finance, it was like pie in the sky.

No matter how stupid the Ministry of Finance is, they will not bother with the Western Suburbs Bureau for such a small amount of money.

After all, the funds David collected from several major film companies amounted to nearly 10 billion.

How much suspension payment is required?

Even if we count it to 1 billion, we still have close to 9 billion.

As for this money, the Ministry of Finance is probably watching it eagerly now.

If they dare to make a fuss about this matter, it will simply give the Ministry of Finance an opportunity to be courteous to the IRS.

In short, in one sentence, the gain outweighs the loss!

"Then what should we do? Should we just watch like this? Look at how our stock price has fallen now. From the time the Xijiao Branch seized us to now, our market value has evaporated by 5 billion. If this continues, then what will happen to us?" How big will the loss be then?”

After hearing this, Bennett had to look up at the stock market screen hanging on the other side, but after seeing the drop on it, his face became a little gloomier.

Although the Disney family has many industries, Disney is currently their most profitable and important industry.

If this continues, their core enterprise will have to shed its skin even if it doesn't change.

But in the current situation, there are basically only two options left.

The first is to surrender to the Western Suburbs Branch. In this case, although the loss is not small, it will not be a serious loss of vitality.

But in this case, everything you did before would become a joke.

As for the second one, he continued to resist.

In this case, they can only win!

Otherwise, if they lose, they will face the crisis of corporate collapse, and may even be used by David to scare others and be thrown into prison.

No matter which choice they make, the three Bennett brothers cannot make up their minds at once.

Western Suburbs Branch.

"Okay everyone, we will give you the compensation you deserve. Also, we will resume work at Disney as soon as possible so that you can get back to work as soon as possible. Don't worry!"

David's comfort work has come to an end.

"No, no, no, Director David, there's no need to be in such a hurry. You can check slowly. Don't miss out on accounts or anything because of us."

"Yes, yes, we are in no hurry to resume work."

"The Disney Company has a huge business, and it will take some things to find out. Director David, please do your best, check slowly, and don't make any mistakes!"

These employees are not stupid. After returning to work, they will receive a salary that is not too much or too little.

But now people go home every day and still receive the same salary.

Then why not lie comfortably at home, play games and catch up on TV dramas every day?

Wouldn't this be more enjoyable?

Of course, David knew exactly what these people were planning, but he did not reveal it. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, please go back. Don't hinder the work of our inspectors here."

"Okay, okay, since Director David said so, let's all go back to our homes!"

The employees are quite knowledgeable.

After receiving the due compensation promise, they stopped entangled too much and dispersed one after another.

Soon, only a few media reporters were left on the scene.

And at the same time.

Disney employees in various cities across the country also stopped marching in the streets and returned home with smiles on their faces, enjoying their paid vacation.

In this way, this massive demonstration ended.

It is worth mentioning that the entire process took less than an hour, which can almost be said to be the shortest demonstration in American history.
