Chapter 100 The Wrath of the IRS

As the newly promoted deputy director of the International Section of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, Cynthia Chen recently received a big job.

The "change of leadership" of Stark Industries is of course under the attention of the IRS, but since Stark himself has always been a good citizen who pays taxes legally, and Raymond Xu really can't find any dirty information, the IRS is not interested in this matter. Things were not given much attention.

Until a real-name report letter from within Stark Industries was sent to the IRS.

The US$500 billion Ponzi scheme, the involvement of the former CEO of Stark Industries and the chairman of Nasdaq, and the subsequent tax evasion and evasion... all of this has made everything related to "financial regulation" in the federal government of the United States of America. The relevant departments were shocked.

This was the first time that Cynthia Chen saw her director—a white-haired, usually kind-hearted old man—acting into a violent rage, smashing almost everything in the office and giving it to the supervisor. The General Affairs Department of Logistics and Purchasing did not give up until a big problem came up.

"500 billion! 500 billion! IRS money!"

The director walked around the office with his hands on his hips, and with every step he took, a word starting with "F" popped out. His chest heaved violently, and he coughed violently - the coughing sound was like the sharp sound of metal parts. The sound is average.

"Look, look, I only paid a few hundred dollars in taxes!" The director waved Obadiah's tax payment form:

"He also wanted me to thank him. The IRS also cooperated happily with him and called him a model taxpayer!"

"Face, my face hurts!"

The Director-General concluded this.

Cynthia, who was waiting for the order, remained calm and even hummed perfunctorily to show that she was listening. Then she handed over the material report she had compiled: "Obadiah is currently being detained by SHIELD. S.H.I.E.L.D. is very tight-lipped about jurisdiction..."

"What kind of tightening method?" The director put the document on the table and looked at the blond man in a crisp suit with a critical eye. "What other tightening method can be used?"

If it were to other female agents, the Director would never have the guts to ask this question; but in front of Cynthia Chen, the famous "Iron Lady" of the IRS, any ambiguity will be automatically filtered out.

"SHIELD claims that--" Cynthia answered the director gruffly--this is also her exclusive privilege:

"Obadiah Stane, during his nearly 20 years as CEO of Stark Industries, assisted and even personally participated in numerous highly classified projects related to national security. Therefore, they cannot hand him over to the court. Judgment.”

"National Security?"

As if he had heard a big joke, the Director put his hands on his hips, looked up to the sky and screamed "Ha-ha-ha-" before he straightened up and lectured Cynthia with a livid face:

"For the federation, dollar hegemony and oil hegemony are all false!"

"There is only one true national security, which is the security that we scrape money from the poor and the rich without mercy in accordance with the law, rigorously and ruthlessly!"

The director finally roared:

"Who do they think they are? That they can evade taxes here?!"

"But……"

Cynthia stood up straight, "SHIELD is, after all, a violent law enforcement agency with overseas armed forces. Their background is unfathomable. I wonder how many senators will stand up for them..."

"This is the value of our IRS existence!" The Director rudely interrupted Cynthia's statement about the difficulty of the case again, "In the United States of America, the White House is not God, and the Pentagon is not God. Do you know where God is?"

Cynthia was silent, she knew this was a question, and she was waiting for the director's answer.

"Jesus is on Capitol Hill, God is on Wall Street -" the director deliberately dragged out his voice: "And we, the IRS, are God's Archangel Michael!"

"I, the IRS, dare to interfere with things that the FBI dares not to interfere with; I, the IRS, dare to interfere with people that the Pentagon does not dare to provoke -" the Director emphasized word by word in front of Cynthia, "Behead first, tell later, constitutional charter!"

"Is it clear enough? Is it clear enough?!"

Cynthia's face was calm. She lowered her head slightly and said to the director seriously: "I understand!" After hearing this, the IRS director finally calmed down.He walked back to his desk, found a personal profile among a pile of scattered documents, and threw it to Cynthia in front of him:

"I went to the director of national intelligence and she told me, this is someone who can work with you."

Cynthia picked up the intelligence information from the ground, and a photo of an Asian man came into view - he was really too young.

"Raymond Xu, the current CEO of Stark Industries." The director introduced her, "He is also the person who wants to kill Obadiah the most."

"Tell him that the IRS is going to join forces with him to fight SHIELD!"

----split line----

Looking at the clinking and noisy construction site, Jin Bing, who was wearing a white safety helmet, withdrew his eyes coldly and calmly - this was part of the deal between him and Raymond Xu.

In the North American continent where the "holy nature remains as it was", the term labor union is completely different from the left-of-spectrum meaning expressed on the Eurasian continent. It usually represents "guilds" or "gangsters" which are more medieval. historical vocabulary -

For this reason, Raymond Xu used the tactic of driving the tiger away and swallowing the wolf. Under his purge of Stark Industries, the contractors he usually cooperated with and the labor groups working with the contractors were terminated from their contracts. It was replaced by the Alchemist Company - the Kingpin's power.

In Professor Xu’s “Four-Year Plan” for Stark Industries, he plans to establish a series of large-scale aerospace industrial production bases in the states where several close senators are located, supporting him to launch 200 medium-sized or smaller missiles every year. A huge plan for 100 heavy-lift launch vehicles.

The infrastructure spending required for this huge plan is extremely staggering, and in the face of the U.S. labor market—especially the labor market related to the construction industry that has been weak for a long time and related industries are almost incapacitated, it is necessary for him to introduce some outside forces .

Kingpin is one of these "outsider forces". He will use the power of Alchemist Company to ensure the safety of a series of large-scale construction sites, and also to ensure that local labor unions do not provide labor protection in the name of "labor protection." They look for trouble.

After all, in American society, pitting gangsters against gangsters is the most appropriate way to play within the rules of the game.

Of course, in addition to this, the figure of the Divine Spear Bureau is also looming in this unprecedented large-scale project - but that is another story.

Jin Bing naturally knew nothing about the "little tacit understanding" between Professor Xu and the Divine Spear Bureau. After he decided to betray Ross, the fat man planned to tie Professor Xu to his station car wholeheartedly——

Wilson Fisk, who has his eyes set higher than the top, believes that no one is worthy of being his "backer". The so-called backers are just steps for him to climb to the top of his rule.

However, this does not prevent him from "compromising" to make the outside world think that he and Raymond Xu have really formed an alliance——

One of the partners pushed aside the crowd, came closer, and followed Kingpin with some obsequiousness: "The economic situation is not good right now. Thanks to your project, we can get rid of the pot!"

The partner straightened his back and said vividly in front of Jin Bin: "I said it at our company meeting yesterday, if it weren't for you, where would we be today?"

"I, Wilson Fisk, am just working for Mr. Raymond Xu." Kingpin became unusually humble in front of his subordinates and partners, "The one who really makes the decision on this project is Your Excellency Raymond Xu!”

These small and medium-sized partners looked at each other. Everyone had heard about Wilson Fisk's identity as the "Kingpin" and knew how many dirty things this "New York Underground Emperor" had done behind the scenes...

But today, he said he was "Raymond Xu's migrant worker"?
A bit sensational!
Raymond Xu is the hottest rising star in the business world at the moment. He is the darling of Wall Street and the leading figure supported by Capitol Hill and the White House... He often presents himself as a polite and elegant Asian scholar, especially because of his The charitable act of sponsoring free physical examinations for Empire State University and even all college students in New York State has been widely praised!
In addition, he also launched a commercial aerospace project called "Starlink". This plan will create hundreds of thousands of jobs and bring the declining Great Lakes Industrial Zone back to its glory days!
These few items alone, without mentioning his other pioneering achievements, are enough to make the media crazy about him - even the most harsh "Daily Bugle" will include "controversial" when evaluating Raymond Xu. Add "certainly capable".

Is such a person the backstage of Jin Bin?
The large and small partners looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine these large groups were selling - they decided to continue listening.

Jin Bin sang with the investor:
"Mr. Fisk, although Mr. Xu is unattainable, we all regard you -" the investor drawled, "as his incarnation!"

Today, Wilson Fisk is uncharacteristically slick. He seems to be deliberately acting in front of everyone: "I can't call it that. It's mainly because Professor Xu leads the overall situation that we have food to eat. We still have to thank him!"

Most people in the crowd did not know much about the behind-the-scenes of Stark Industries' "coach change" and the inside story of Obadiah's downfall. Seeing the gang emperor in front of them, Fatty Kingpin, the new backstage man who bit himself to death was Raymond. De Xu——

They then believed that Raymond Xu relied on gangsters to rise to power, or in other words, gangsters at least assisted Raymond Xu in his rise to power.

After today's meeting ended, the news that Raymond Xu had a powerful gang like Kingpin spread like wildfire.
