American Tax Officer

Chapter 688: Chapter 346: Dragon Slaying Operation
 

Since all the major players had agreed to compromise on tax issues, Bruna soon held a press conference and publicly announced this news.

“My God, Silicon Valley’s giants compromised just like that?”

“According to Director Bruna, the minimum tax amount these giants have to pay is close to ten billion each; it’s not a small sum of money. It’s hard to imagine they caved so easily.”

“It really is a bit surprising, but then again, if they were willing to compromise now, it must be because the Internal Revenue Service had something on them…”

“Now that the giants have compromised, the rest of the large and small companies in Silicon Valley will surely follow suit, which means that the tax audit of Silicon Valley is basically complete. Does this mean Inspector David is going to turn his attention to Wall Street next?”

“…”

When the news broke, whether it was journalists or the public who were following the situation online, everyone was somewhat shocked.

But it didn’t take long for their attention to shift to another matter.

That is, whether David will go to Wall Street next!

You see, although Silicon Valley has a significant output, when compared with a financial cradle like Wall Street, the difference in value is not small.

If the tax audit of Wall Street could be as successful as it was in Silicon Valley, the tax revenue generated would be an astronomical figure that’s hard for anyone to imagine!

As everyone had predicted, after the announcement by the major players about reaching an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service on tax issues, the large and small companies in Silicon Valley couldn’t sit still either.

Over the next few days, the Bay Area Branch was bustling.

As more and more tax issues came up, the branch had to request support from the San Francisco City Bureau, which finally relieved some of the pressure by sending over a large team.

…

The morning of the third day arrived.

Since the tax audit in Silicon Valley was nearing its end, and the remaining tasks could be handled by the Bay Area Branch, David no longer needed to stay here. He was in his temporary office, packing his things, ready to leave.

Soon after, having nearly packed everything, he stepped out of the office. Bruna and many of the Bay Area Branch’s management were already waiting for him.

Seeing him emerge, Bruna immediately approached and asked, “Have you finished packing everything, Inspector David? Is there anything we can help you with?”

“Only some files that I need to take with me. They’re all here.”

David raised the documents he was holding in his hand. They contained information about BlackRock Inc., Vanguard, and State Street, which he collected from the giants of Silicon Valley.

“Well then, is there anything you would like to instruct us to do?”

“The tax audit of Silicon Valley is basically complete. What’s left is the settlement and collection, which I believe your Bay Area Branch should be able to manage.”

“That’s certain. Once the settlement and collection tasks are finished, our Bay Area Branch will submit a detailed report to you.”

David nodded and looked at Strakosha and the two inspectors who had come with him, saying, “Let’s go, then.”

Bruna and the others personally escorted David to the downstairs. Watching David’s departing figure, Bruna’s face showed a tinge of complexity.

The tax audit had really allowed her to shine, but with David’s departure, the attention it drew would likely soon dwindle.

But upon reflection, she was also satisfied. After all, of the many Internal Revenue Service branches nationwide, not many could boast such illustrious limelight as she had during her tenure.

It was time to concentrate on completing the remaining work and claim her merit when reporting back to the headquarters!

…

Before long, the rumor that David was leaving San Francisco spread, and the whole internet was once again in an uproar. As for the capitalists on the East Coast of New York, they were extremely restless.

Fortunately, following the media’s tracking, it was found that the flight David took was not headed to New York but to Oregon. The capitalists in New York finally breathed a sigh of relief.

East Coast of New York, Senado Island.

Joshua walked into the mansion’s conference room and said to Henrietta, “Mr. Henrietta, I have just received news that David has left Silicon Valley and is heading to Oregon, which is next to California.”

“What is he doing in Oregon?”

“Although the tax audit in Silicon Valley is considered complete, their so-called operation is nationwide, so he must be going to Oregon for an inspection.”

Henrietta thoughtfully nodded, then said, “Since he has left Silicon Valley, I think we can start our ‘Operation Dragon Slayer’!”

The day after their last secret meeting ended, the Ansa Group sent them a message saying they could join in.

However, there were several conditions. The first was that they wanted to own shares in the Federal Reserve, but it’s the lifeline of Freemasonry, which naturally could not agree.

They could, however, allow the Angsa people to take some stakes in financial giants like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley… In the end, the Angsa people seemed satisfied and agreed.

Moreover, the Angsa people also said they would not be involved in any details and actions of the assassination, only helping to exert pressure on the Internal Revenue Service, the White House, and all parties to quash the matter afterward.

Of course, if things failed, the Angsa people also made it clear they would absolutely deny involvement.
