United states tax collector

Chapter 203 Cultivate your own inner circle of influence

"Lewis, you have a phone."

The voice in his ears brought Lewis out of his thoughts. He reached out and took the mobile phone handed over by his wife, but his expression suddenly shook when he saw the caller ID on it.

Because the caller ID was David's number.

Thousands of thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he pressed the answer button immediately: "Hello, David... Director?"

"It's me, Deputy Tax Inspector Lewis. How's it going? Is your work in Detroit going well lately?"

When he heard the greeting from David on the other end of the phone, Lewis' face suddenly tightened.

Although the city of Detroit has a high crime rate, it is very beneficial to the IRS's black tax bill.

However, this is just a work benefit.

But in terms of life, it was a kind of torture for him and his wife.

For example, when he first arrived, his wife was often pickpocketed and robbed by gangsters because she was not familiar with the city.

In just over two months since he took office here, he has already moved three times.

Why is this?

The reason was that fights and shootings often occurred in the area where he lived before. In the end, he had to move to a remote area by the Detroit River in the south end of the city, which was a little quieter.

In short, everything about this city makes Lewis and his wife feel terrible. Now he even feels that if he had not been promoted to deputy tax inspector, he would have been a good tax collector in the Lake District.

"Are you listening Lewis?"

The voice on the other end of the phone made Lewis, who was in a daze, quickly come back to his senses. He replied: "Listen, I also saw that you mentioned Detroit in today's press conference. You should know a little about this city. I'm here." The work is indeed going smoothly, but... let’s forget about it.”

David heard the annoyance in Lewis's words, and then said straight to the point: "That's it Lewis, you also know that I am about to take office as the director of the western suburbs branch. I have no foundation there, so I want to adjust some of my more... Someone familiar is coming over, so I want to ask you, are you willing to come over?"

There are two main reasons why David thought of transferring Lewis.

First, as he said, he has no foundation in the Western Suburbs Bureau. When he first got there, there was no guarantee that those people would not ignore him or hinder him, so he had to install some of his own forces as soon as possible so that he could control this branch.

Secondly, he had been with Lewis for a long time, and he knew that this person had abilities and was not a loser who just eats nothing.

Here, Lewis, who was originally troubled by the living conditions in Detroit, his eyes immediately lit up after hearing these words.

He had already guessed this possibility before he picked up David's call when he saw it, but he didn't expect that he was right.

He immediately replied with a trembling voice: "Yes, of course I am willing. I have wanted to leave this hellish place for a long time!"

It was true that he wanted to leave Detroit, but the most important thing was that David wanted to transfer him to the Western Suburban Bureau.

And the Western Suburbs Bureau is the jurisdiction of the super city Los Angeles!

Even if he is transferred at the same level, he is equivalent to being promoted!

After all, the quality of a deputy tax inspector in Detroit and a deputy tax inspector in Los Angeles cannot be compared.

"In that case, I will take office the day after tomorrow. If you can come as soon as possible, then come as soon as possible. I am still in Washington. You don't have to worry about the procedures. I can help you with the process."

"Don't worry, Director David, I won't say it's the day after tomorrow, I can arrive tomorrow!"

The one being transferred now is the Los Angeles Western Suburban Bureau. Let alone the day after tomorrow, even if Lewis were asked to pack his luggage and set off immediately, he would not hesitate at all.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry. We'll just arrive the day after tomorrow. There will definitely be a meeting then. Let's make an appearance together."

"Okay, oh right..."

Lewis suddenly remembered something and asked cautiously: "After I am transferred to the western suburbs branch, will I continue to serve as deputy tax inspector?"

"Deputy tax inspector? Tax inspector!"

"ah?"

Lewis' brain suddenly felt a little lack of oxygen, and his breathing also became rapid.

"The Western Suburbs Branch has eliminated a lot of people because of poor performance after several assessment periods. I transferred you to be the tax inspector directly."

After receiving the confirmation, Lewis jumped up from his chair, his face as red as an apple.

He had just been promoted to deputy tax inspector for more than two months. If he had no major political achievements, according to normal procedures, he would not be promoted to tax inspector for another three to five years.

If you are not very lucky, you might be able to work in this position until you retire.

But no one would have imagined that today, more than two months later, he would be promoted to tax inspector.

And he is also a tax inspector in a huge city like Los Angeles. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that smoke is coming out of ancestral graves.

Of course, he knew very well that this was not the smoke rising from the ancestral grave, but the support of David. He immediately thanked him excitedly: "Director David, you trust me too much. Not only did you transfer me to the western suburbs, When the branch came, they actually appointed me as the tax inspector. I really... really don’t know what to say."

"No need to say anything, just work hard after taking office. As you know Lewis, I boasted in front of the media. It will exceed the more than 200 million tax revenue I received in the Lake District Branch."

"Don't worry, Director David, I will do my best to raise taxes for the Western Suburbs Branch!"

Lewis also immediately patted his chest to express his loyalty.

"Okay, so be it, I still have a lot to do."

"Goodbye Chief David."

"Wow ha ha ha ha……"

After putting down the phone, Lewis looked up to the sky and laughed like crazy.

And his wife Debra was also shocked by the crazy laughter. She walked out immediately and asked with a confused look: "What's wrong with you Lewis?"

"Debra, I have great news for you, we can move!"

"Moving? Where?"

“How’s Los Angeles!”

"What, are you serious?"

Debra covered her mouth with disbelief on her face.

"Of course it's true. I used to lead an inspector in the Lake District branch, named David. He has now been promoted to the director of the western suburbs branch of Los Angeles. He promoted me to be a tax inspector!"

"What, tax inspector!"

Debra, who was already shocked, was shocked again when she heard that her husband was promoted to tax inspector.

"Debra, haven't you always been fed up with everything about this city? Not only is the security in Los Angeles much better, but it also has a pleasant climate and beautiful beaches. Hehe..."

"Great Lewis!"

Debra rushed up and hugged Lewis, and the two embraced and celebrated.

Four Seasons Hotel, Washington.

After deciding on the candidate for a tax inspector, David began to think about the candidate for the deputy director.

As mentioned before, the West Suburban Bureau has two deputy chiefs. In addition to a confidant of the former chief who was transferred, there is also another deputy chief, Muriel Dickey.

Although this deputy director is not a confidant of the former director, through data observation, he has served as the deputy director of the Western Suburbs Bureau for several years, and now taking advantage of the bureau's purge to take power, he must have controlled a lot of the bureau's affairs. The right to speak.

Therefore, David also had to transfer one of his own to serve as another deputy director, so as to divide the voice of Muriel Dickey.

So who should be transferred?

After thinking about it for a while, David felt that the Guxin tax inspector of the Lake District Bureau was actually quite suitable, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally gave up the idea.

After all, the Lake District is where he started his career. Taking Nissenbaki and the others to the western suburbs branch is considered poaching.

It would be a bit embarrassing if the tax inspector Gu Xin was poached again.

And this may also make William unhappy, and he doesn't want to make everyone unhappy.

"correct!"

Suddenly, David thought of another candidate. He thought about it again, and after confirming that this candidate was suitable, he finally took out his mobile phone and checked his address book.

Las Vegas, in a bar on the main street.

"Damn it, in the history of our IRS, no one has been promoted from an auditor to a branch director in more than two months, or a branch director like Los Angeles. This David really made People are envious!”

"It's more than just envy. I'm almost jealous to death. Why wasn't I the one who was promoted to the Western Suburbs Branch Director? Even if I'm not the Director, I would be willing to be transferred as a tax chief at the same level!"

"Oh, by the way, Inspector Keanu, didn't we cooperate with David on three major cases in our Main Street District before? You were quite familiar with him at that time. He has now been promoted to the chief of the Los Angeles branch. Have you never thought about it? ...Let him help you?"

In the booth, the tax chief, deputy tax inspectors and tax inspectors of the main street branch were drinking and chatting, and Keanu was also among them.

Faced with the ridicule of another tax inspector in the bureau, Keanu picked up the beer on the table and took a sip. He smiled bitterly and said: "We are familiar with each other, but that is only a cooperative relationship. We are not even friends." , How can you be so embarrassed to let others support you?"

"What's so embarrassing about this? Isn't there an idiom in China called 'self-recommendation'? Now that he is in a new place, he must be cultivating his own power. If you take the initiative to recommend yourself, maybe they will agree to it." Woolen cloth."

Upon hearing this, Keanu's mind suddenly became active.

That's right.

David has no foundation at all in the Western Suburbs Bureau. If he takes up the post as a mere commander, then many things will definitely be difficult to deal with. Otherwise, he will be ousted by some indigenous forces in the bureau.

If he goes and recommends himself, he might actually have some fun.

As the tax chief said just now, even if the position remains unchanged after being transferred, since it is the Los Angeles branch, it can still be considered a promotion!

"Dududu..."

Just when Keanu was feeling hot inside, the phone in his pocket forced him to break away from his thoughts. But when he took out his phone and saw the caller ID, his expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong Keanu?"

Everyone also noticed something was wrong with Keanu's expression.

"I'll take a call first."

After saying these words, Keanu quickly came to the bathroom, sat on the toilet and pressed the answer button: "Director David?"

"It's me, Inspector Jinu. I'm sorry, I didn't bother you so late, right?"

"No."

"That's good. This is how I'm looking for you this time. I want to ask you if you are interested in transferring to my western suburbs branch?"

David was too embarrassed to dig out people from the Lake District now, but he didn't care about so many people from the Main Street Bureau.

And Keanu had cooperated with him in the three major cases. This person is indeed very capable, and he is as knowledgeable as Lewis. If he can be transferred to the western suburbs branch, he will definitely follow his lead and become his Direct lineage.

Keanu and others were still discussing just now, saying that David had no foundation when he took office and needed to transfer some of his own people, but they thought they had guessed right.

Keanu suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied: "If it is Director David and you want to transfer me, then of course I am willing to go!"

This is the Los Angeles branch. Anyone who doesn't go would be a fool.

"That's good, but it's like this. You also know that the Western Suburbs Bureau is very large, and it has two deputy directors. There is currently a deputy director position vacant. I transferred you here because I want you to directly Serving as deputy director.”

"What, make me the deputy director?!"

Keanu originally thought that he was just transferred at the same level, but he never expected that David would actually let him serve as deputy director. This made him excited and worried at the same time.

Of course I was excited about the promotion, and the person who was promoted was the deputy director of a large branch like the Xijiao Branch.

What is worrying is that after all, he is currently serving as the tax inspector of the Main Street Branch. He is worried that he will not be qualified to serve as the deputy director of a branch as large as the Western Suburbs Branch, and he will feel bad if he holds David back.

"Why don't you want to be inspected by Jinu?"

"Of course not. As you know, I have been in a small branch like the Main Street District for many years. Suddenly I was transferred to a large branch like the Western Suburbs Bureau, and I served as the deputy director. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid. Since I've found you, I believe in your ability. You just need to help me handle the affairs in the bureau. You don't have to worry about the tax performance!"

Keanu, who was still worried at first, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Of course, he also watched David's media conference at the General Administration today, and knew that David had already boasted that the tax performance in the first assessment period after taking office would definitely not be worse than that in the Lake District Bureau.

Therefore, when the time comes, he is worried that if this goal cannot be achieved, he will also take the blame.

But now that David says he doesn't have to worry about tax results, why should he be worried?

He immediately agreed: "Since Director David has said so, I can only be respectful and obey your orders!"

"Okay, I will help you complete all your procedures. I will officially take up my post in two days. If you say... can you make it in time?"

"In two days... it should be fine."

"Then it's settled!"

"Goodbye Director David..."

After ending the call, Keanu's heart began to beat wildly.

That was the deputy director of the Western Suburbs Bureau. It was a position coveted by many tax inspectors across the country, but they didn't expect that he would get it so easily!

This sometimes hugs a thigh, which really saves ten years of detours!

This is the bar booth.

"Do you think Keanu got a call from someone just now? Why does he look so excited?"

"It seems that he is really excited. Could it be that he... received a call from David?"

"David's phone number? It's really possible."

"He is back!"

The tax chiefs and tax inspectors of the Main Street Branch were still discussing Keanu's departure, but at this time, a tax chief discovered that Keanu had returned to the bathroom.

At this time, Keanu's face was even redder than before, and the corners of his mouth had an irrepressible arc. Anyone could see the rippling mood in him at this moment.

"Sorry everyone, I have something to take care of and I have to go!"

Keanu didn't explain much to everyone, picked up his coat and left.

But at this moment, another tax inspector couldn't hold himself back any longer. He grabbed Keanu and asked, "Keanu, the person who called you just now couldn't be really David, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the other tax chiefs and deputy tax inspectors also looked like they were listening.

Keanu thought for a while and realized that it was impossible to hide the news that he would be transferred to the Western Suburbs Bureau as deputy director, so he simply said: "That's right."

After receiving the confirmation, the tax inspector and others began to sit still.

The tax inspector asked again: "So, David is going to be transferred to the western suburbs branch?"

In fact, everyone had already guessed it from Keanu's expression, but now they just wanted to confirm it again.

"Yes."

Keanu's re-confirmation made the expressions of several people present gradually become heated, and the tax inspector asked again: "Is it a transfer at the same level?"

"No, I'm going to be the deputy director of the western suburbs branch."

"What! Serving as the deputy director of the western suburbs branch?!"

All the staff in the Main Street Bureau felt their minds go blank, but soon, everyone's eyes turned red.

This is the fucking deputy director of the western suburbs of Los Angeles!

The tax inspector who grabbed Keanu immediately said: "Keanu, please help me put in a nice word in front of Director David. I don't ask the deputy director. I can be transferred to him at the same level. I promise." I will definitely obey him!"

"Inspector Keanu, please help me make a request to Chief David. I also want to be transferred to Los Angeles. I don't ask for promotion. Horizontal transfer is fine."

"Inspector Keanu, you know my abilities. Please recommend me to Director David. I will definitely be able to make great contributions to him..."

"..."

The people in the Main Street Bureau are not stupid. The platform limit in Los Angeles is much higher than that in Las Vegas, so even if they are transferred at the same level, they are still willing to do so.

"Okay, okay, I will help you talk to Director David, that's it..."

He will be leaving for his new job in two days, and Keanu must handle the tasks he needs to hand over, so there is no time to follow everyone here.

Four Seasons Hotel, Washington.

David's job of poaching continues.

Because in order to attack the god-making plan before, he had dealt with the branch offices in various cities, and he was quite familiar with some of the tax inspectors and tax chiefs in these branches.

Therefore, he is not going to search the intranet for the candidates who are still vacant, but is going to select among these people.

It wasn't until 1 o'clock in the morning that he finally finalized most of the candidates.

Finally, he called Nissen and others one by one and asked them to go to the Western Suburbs Branch to take up the post of tax chief in two days. After hearing that they were going to be the tax chief, Nissen and the others were overjoyed and agreed immediately.

At nine o'clock the next morning.

David came to Donald's office at the General Administration, submitted the finalized candidate information, and said: "Deputy Director Donald, this is the person I need to transfer."

Donald nodded, but did not check. Instead, he picked up the landline phone and called his secretary, and said: "This is the personnel arrangement of the Western Suburbs Branch. Go and implement it."

"Yes sir."

After the secretary left, Donald said to David: "What you said yesterday caused a lot of shock in Hollywood. According to the news I received, the major film companies have been conducting tax, financial, and accounting work overnight. reviewed.”

David smiled and replied: "Since they launched various investigations overnight, doesn't it just prove that they have something evil in mind?"

"Of course, everyone knows how these film companies started in the early years, but it is very difficult to trace them. I hope there will be progress after you take office."

It would certainly be difficult for others to track down these film companies, but David had a plug-in, so he was not worried about the so-called difficulty.

In the following time, the two chatted for a long time about the deployment of the western suburbs branch and the situation in Hollywood.

Until the time came to 9.45 minutes, Donald's secretary walked in and said: "As you expected Mr. Donald, as soon as the market opened, the stock prices of major Hollywood film companies began to plummet."

Donald was not surprised by the news, and the same was true for David sitting aside.

Yesterday, he announced in front of so many media that he would launch a large-scale tax audit in Hollywood. It would be abnormal if the stock prices of these film companies did not plummet today.

After all, the entire United States knows how powerful the IRS is, and it also has a huge deterrent effect on the stock market.

"knew."

Donald replied, then looked at David and said, "You will definitely be overwhelmed after you officially take office, so take advantage of the fact that there is still one day off today and enjoy it."

David nodded to express his understanding, then said goodbye and returned to his hotel, where he continued to read information about the area under the jurisdiction of the Western Suburbs Branch.

The sun sets in the west, the end of another day.

Nissenbaki and Lewis Keanu have arranged everything and packed their luggage, and are full of expectations and preparations to take up their posts at the Western Suburban Branch tomorrow.

On the Hollywood side, the major film companies and related personnel began to gradually raise their heartstrings, because David will take office tomorrow.

No one knows whether David, the new official's three fires after taking office, will burn them.
