United states tax collector
Chapter 385 Senate voting begins
"By the way, Ms. Ivanka, please tell your father that I welcome him here and hope he can make the right choice as soon as possible!"
Just when Ivanka was about to leave, David suddenly stopped him.
In fact, the reason why he invited Ivanka to come up and listen was to show his strength to the other family through this meeting.
In any case, the former president and his family are indeed a worthy target!
"Okay, Inspector General David, I will pass on the message!"
Ivanka replied, and then turned and left with Jafede.
After going downstairs and entering the car, Jafede could no longer hold back and asked, "Ivanka, if we can get a share of those companies, it will be a great gain for our family. I think we should persuade my father. After all, David's strength should not be underestimated now."
"What are you thinking about? It's indeed a big cake, but you should also look at who you are competing with. They are all big families in various states!"
"If we really have a conflict with them over this matter, what about the presidential election in 2024?"
"You know, our relationship with the three major groups is not harmonious. At that time, we may still need the support of these families. Are you going to give up greater interests for the sake of these interests?"
Ivanka was dissatisfied with what her husband said in public before. Now she was furious when she heard such a question, so she directly issued an angry rebuke.
After being scolded like this, Jafede also shrank his head.
But when he thought of the huge benefits that those companies might generate, he was still a little unwilling, and continued: "I think there is no need to fight for these families now. As long as we get David's support, we will have great hope for the presidential election in 24!"
In fact, what he said does make sense.
Although those people present just now are local snake families in various states, they have obviously been controlled by David.
As long as they are willing to stand on David's side and get David's support, why bother with these so-called local snake families?
"Okay, Jafede, don't look at David now. The three major groups are not vegetarians. He hasn't won this "war" yet, so it's right for father to not express his position for the time being and wait and see. Don't say anything more. At this stage, for our family, re-planning to regain the presidency is the most important thing!"
"This... okay."
Jafede was still a little depressed, but seeing that Ivanka had expressed this, he didn't dare to force it any more.
And Ivanka turned his head to the side, and when he looked closely, there was even a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Strictly speaking, Jafede was not her ideal partner, and this marriage was arranged by her father.
Her father originally thought that marrying him would help him and his family's business.
But what he didn't expect was that after a period of training and observation, this son-in-law was a weak man.
Apart from being a little smart in business, he was basically an idiot in terms of strategy and politics.
For example, in today's incident, it was obvious that regaining the presidency and building good relations with the local snake families in various states were the most important things, but Jafede was blinded by those interests.
Wanting to fight for the interests of the local snake families, isn't this a loss of the big for the small?
Look at David again.
At a young age, he controlled the local snake families, senators, and congressmen in various states, and he was even more powerful in Congress, suppressing the Freemasons. This is a person who can do great things!
On the other hand, her husband is far worse. He only cares about the little profits. In one sentence, he is unlikely to achieve great things!
…
At the same time, in a car that just left the hotel.
"Uncle, this is an opportunity for our family to move up a level. We must seize it!"
In the car, Goda, who was sitting in it, said to a man in his fifties.
And of course, he was referring to the matter of taking over the company just now.
The three major groups control almost all the well-known companies in the United States, such as Google, Weisoft, and Apple.
Of course, even if the bill is successfully enacted and causes unrest in these companies, they may not have the strength to bite these companies, but they still have some confidence that they can bite off companies of the level of News Corporation.
"Don't worry, if it really comes to this, I will definitely persuade other people in the family to withdraw the funds!"
The man called uncle by Goda also had a firm look in his eyes.
At the same time, the major families who left the hotel were also discussing with their family members about taking over the major companies at that time.
…
Time flies, and six days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, on the surface, there are no major waves, but in fact, there are undercurrents.
The money-burning tactics adopted by the three major groups in these few days are still very effective.
After all, in a sense, money is really omnipotent!
According to the investigation and statistics of the IRS, at least a dozen or twenty senators have been greatly disturbed by the money-burning tactics of the three major groups.
And you have to know that there are only 100 senators in the Senate, and this proportion is really not small.
Of course, the families headed by Gotha, Charlie, and Bessem have indeed invested heavily in order to take over their favorite companies in the future.
After the meeting with David, they immediately organized a conversation with their senators.
The content of the conversation, of course, was all kinds of inducements and promises of benefits to these senators so that they would not turn against them when voting.
In short, the result will be revealed tomorrow, because tomorrow is the voting stage of the Senate!
Washington, IRS, Office of the Inspector General of Taxation.
"Inspector General, this is the latest list compiled by the major families!"
Munson walked in and handed a dozen documents to Su Yi.
David picked it up and saw that the two senators in Texas were fine. They promised to fully support the bill to pass the House of Representatives.
Alabama also made a promise.
More than a dozen states including Ohio and Alabama also said they would stand on his side.
These totals add up to 45 senators.
Add the 16 people David personally secured, and the total number is 61!
This number seems to be a lot on the surface. Not only is the bill as easy to pass as a dog, but it can even bypass the speech procedures of the members.
But it is still just the number of votes in the House of Representatives before, which is just the number of votes on the surface.
During this period of time, in order to ensure that there will be no changes during the voting, the Kennidi family, as well as the families of various states and him have spent a lot of effort.
However, no matter how much effort is spent, it is impossible to be foolproof.
Because these members are all human beings, they are not machines without emotions, and people have emotions, and they will have the thoughts of various states.
In other words, if there are any members who defect among these 61 senators, it is not a surprise.
But then again, as long as more than 2 people defect, it will be a bit troublesome.
Unfortunately, the voting process in the Senate will start tomorrow, and there is no more time for him to operate.
Otherwise, perhaps a few more members can be secured.
"The Inspector General, the Director and Donald are already in place..."
Just when David was still worried, Keppel came in to remind him.
David had no choice but to stand up first, take the elevator all the way to the door of the conference room, and push the door open and walk in.
"How is it, David, how is our situation now?"
Obadiah asked immediately after David came in and sat down.
"According to the latest list of statistics from each state, plus the number we have in hand, the total number is 61!"
"61..."
Hearing this number, the people present were still a little happy at first, but soon calmed down.
Obviously, they also knew, like David, that this was just the number of votes on the surface, so don't be stupid and think that this is the final number of votes.
"Forget it, let's vote and see the truth!"
At the same time, in Senado Island.
In addition to Henrietta, the seven major families, and the rest of the Freemasons, Nan Xi also came here.
Because Nan Xi is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and this vote is presided over by the Senate, she will not be required to appear tomorrow.
And she came here today just to find out the specific situation. After all, everyone is in the same boat now. If the bill passes, she will not have a good time.
"Tell me, how are our votes!"
Henrietta's voice interrupted the thoughts of everyone present, and Joshua immediately replied: "So far, the number of votes we have is... 56!"
"56? Is it reliable!"
"This..."
Joshua was a little embarrassed. Before the vote, who dared to say that the number of votes in his hand must be reliable.
What if he made a guarantee now, but the number of votes cast was not satisfactory, then he couldn't take the blame
"Speak!"
"Mr. Henrietta, I dare not guarantee whether they can stop the bill from passing, but judging from the current situation, it will be very difficult for them to pass the speech obstruction!"
At present, the number of votes counted on his side is 56.
And to obstruct the speech at the meeting, 60 votes are required.
So Joshua felt that even if someone on his side would turn against him at the last minute, there would definitely not be as many as 16 people.
"Okay, it's better for things to develop as you said, otherwise..."
Henrietta's words made Joshua shudder.
This bill has already reached the Senate. If it can't be stopped, even he doesn't know what to do.
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying anything more. We can only wait and see the results tomorrow.
While the Freemasons were holding a meeting, the Illuminati Ansa Group was also sitting on the final deployment.
This night was destined to be a night that made many people sleepless.
It was nine o'clock the next morning, and a large number of media reporters had gathered at the gate of Capitol Hill.
"Hello, everyone. We have arrived at the gate of Capitol Hill, and senators from various states have arrived one after another. Let's take a look at the latest progress of the tax avoidance bill today?"
"Hello, audience friends. After a week, the Senate's review process is finally completed. Today, the voting process for the tax avoidance bill will be held. Let's open our eyes and see if this bill can pass the Senate vote today!"
"..."
The reporters were reporting with great excitement, and the audience in front of the TV were also discussing with great interest.
"In the last round of the House of Representatives vote, there were 222 votes in favor of the bill, which is a great advantage. It will definitely pass the Senate today."
"It's hard to say. There are 435 members in the House of Representatives, so there are many variables, and there are only 100 senators in the Senate, which will definitely become more tense."
"According to the Washington Post, the opposition members intend to use unlimited speeches to obstruct the vote on this bill. I don't know if it's true."
"No way, unlimited speeches? Is it so disgusting?"
Amid a round of discussions, the time came to 9:30.
At this time, in the Senate lobby, senators have entered and taken their seats one after another, and the invited internal media have also set up their cameras.
In the passage, a white-haired man with a high nose bridge walked out and came to the podium.
He is the current Senate Majority Leader, Grace Ade, and today's vote will be hosted by him.
"Hello everyone, I am Grace Ade, the Senate Majority Leader, and today's vote will be hosted by me."
"But before that, I have something to add."
"First of all, the bill on tax avoidance in other places has aroused national discussion as soon as it came out."
"But now that it has been successfully legislated and even passed the House of Representatives and came to our Senate, it can be regarded as a proof that this bill has its value."
"Therefore..."
"..."
Originally everyone thought.
This Grace would also be like Nan Xi last time, and simply make an opening speech before getting to the point.
But unexpectedly, he had no intention of stopping at all, and spoke for nearly twenty minutes.
Now, even an idiot understood his intention.
As many people and media reports have speculated, the opposition members are indeed going to use speeches to obstruct the vote on the bill.
"Shit, they really use this method, so disgusting!"
"Okay, okay, you bastard member, stop talking, get out of here and get to the point!"
"Are you annoying? Just one or two words are enough. Get out of here. We want to vote!"
Seeing this, the people who support this bill are not happy and started to curse online.
