Chapter 33 The Shock of the Main Street Precinct

Thunderous applause resounded throughout the conference room. Gu Xin gave them face, waving his hand to signal everyone to stop only after a full minute had passed.

"Team Seven, Group Two, they are the role models we should all learn from. I hope that starting from the next assessment period, everyone should emulate Team Seven, Group Two. Okay, next up is Team Eight..."

With the seven teams' impressive tax achievements of over 80 ahead of them, no one paid any attention to the data of the other three teams in the following period.

More than half an hour later, after the data from the 10th team was released, Gu Xin looked at the controller and asked, "Are the Main Street Branch and the New City Branch ready?"

"It's done! The data has been sent and is being received. It should take about three minutes!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of tension appeared on Gu Xin's face.

The same was true for Lewis, Hector, and most of the inspectors present.

Since the Black Tax Act was enacted, the Washington headquarters has set up a review period every two weeks.

This assessment period is not just an assessment for this bureau, but a joint assessment for all three bureaus in Las Vegas.

Branch offices with higher rankings and higher tax records will receive more than just praise; they will receive substantial rewards.

During the last assessment period, the Dajie District Branch achieved the highest tax performance in the city, and all its inspectors, tax chiefs, and tax inspectors received a generous salary and bonus.

Furthermore, he also received an allocation of 20 yuan in official funds.

With this money, the inspectors of the Main Street Precinct can apply for the use of public funds, such as for bribing informants or purchasing intelligence leads.

In this way, the next assessment period will naturally yield twice the results with half the effort.

While everyone was lost in thought, it seemed that the data from the two branch offices had been received, and the screen changed under the operator's control.

After opening, a line of text appeared in the title.

Data from the New District Branch's performance evaluation period.

As they scrolled down the title, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the numbers following "Total Tax Returns".

Because it displays the number '49.3 US dollars'.

Currently, in their Lake District branch, David's team alone has already generated over 80 in tax revenue.

Including the other nine teams, the total is nearly $1.3 million.

The total tax revenue of this new urban district branch is only 49.3 yuan, which is less than half of theirs. They are simply not in the same league!

But only a moment later, Guxin, Lewis, and the inspectors on site became tense again.

Las Vegas is divided into three main areas, with the Lake District and the New City having roughly the same GDP.

As for the main district, it is the most prosperous, economically powerful, and has the highest GDP.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if you combine the two major districts of Lake District and New City District, they can only barely keep up with the major districts.

The reason is also very simple.

There are more than 200 casinos in Las Vegas, with more than 100 of them located in the Grand Place alone.

As for other projects such as hotels and cultural tourism, there's no need to elaborate further.

Furthermore, the Dajie District Branch ranked first in tax revenue in the city during the last assessment period, and therefore received a sum of public funds.

With this funding, no one knows how good their tax performance will be during this assessment period.

Amidst everyone's tension, the controller opened the data on the main district, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the total tax revenue below.

It seems that things ultimately turned out as they expected.

The Street District branch's tax revenue this time was only $103 million, which is still quite a distance from the entire bureau's total of over $130 million.

"Haha, that's awesome!"

"William, the extraordinary William!"

"Nice, nice!"

To be honest, when Guxin was announcing the data for each team, many inspectors were a little unhappy because David had stolen their thunder.

But now, those feelings of displeasure have turned into gratitude.

This time, they achieved the highest tax revenue in the city. Firstly, they will receive a salary bonus, and secondly, the bureau will receive a sum of official funds.

In this way, they can apply for the use of public funds during the new round of assessment period, thus making the audit work smoother.

……

While the Lake District Police Station was still in a state of excitement...

Meanwhile, at 77 Cargill Avenue in the Greater Block, which is the location of the Greater Block IRS branch office.

Like the Lake District Precinct, the Main Street Precinct is also a five-story building.

However, unlike other buildings, its ground floor features a grand portico with four marble pillars supporting its roof, giving it an imposing presence.

The main gate consists of two silver automatic doors that open and close continuously, welcoming the taxpayers coming and going.

From the ground floor to the top floor, each floor has numerous windows, filling the building's interior with natural light. These windows are neatly arranged, like mirrors, reflecting the bustling traffic.

Meanwhile, in front of the large screen in the conference room on the fifth floor, a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes said with a smile, "Alright, the data for the Lake District and the New City District has been sent over. Let's see how it goes!"

His name is Keanu Aldosen, and he is one of the two tax inspectors in the Main Street area.

At his signal, the operator on the large screen opened a document, which displayed the title "New District Branch".

Below the title are the data for this assessment period in the new urban area.

Upon seeing the figure of $49.3, both Keanu Reeves on stage and the tax chiefs and auditors in the audience remained calm and composed, as if it were already expected.

"49.3, not bad. After a period of assessment, the new urban area has achieved significant results. Now let's look at the tax performance of the lake district!"

Soon, the document from the Lake District branch opened.

But when they saw the figure of $138.9 million, everyone's eyes widened as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing, and the scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Keanu Reeves was stunned for a moment before turning to the controller and asking urgently, "Is this data from the lake region? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Although the controller was also shocked, he answered without hesitation, "Kinu... Inspector Keanu, this was sent from the Lake District Precinct itself, how could I be wrong?"

"Call them immediately to confirm and see if they entered the tax results incorrectly!"

Keanu still didn't believe it.

Actually, not to mention him, the other tax officials and auditors present also didn't quite believe this tax performance.
