Distribution of benefits after the passage of Chapter 384 Act
Distribution of benefits after the passage of Chapter 384 Act
However, if we really want to stop these opposition lawmakers from using this kind of speech to undermine the bill, is there any other way?
There is an answer.
If more than 60 senators agree to end the speech, the process can proceed to a vote in the Senate.
That's why it was said earlier that 51 votes are needed in the Senate to pass a bill.
However, if the opposing side uses an excessively long speech to delay, then nine more special votes will be needed.
"Chief Inspector David, our family's representative did indeed encounter significant problems in this vote, but rest assured, I will do my utmost to prevent such a situation from recurring in the upcoming Senate vote!"
Sean was the first to step forward and make a promise.
The House's passage of the bill gave his family hope of dealing a heavy blow to the Freemasons, and now that the bill has been submitted to the Senate, he will certainly do everything in his power to achieve it.
"Although there were some unexpected events this time, now that we've come this far, our family will definitely do everything in our power!"
"Don't worry, Inspector David, our family won't hold back either."
"..."
Everyone present expressed their willingness to do their best.
David nodded in satisfaction and looked at Elvis, saying, "Give them to them!"
"clear!"
Elvis opened the briefcase he had brought, took out several documents, and placed them on the table. He then said, "These are the senators whose families we've observed to be problematic. You'd better have a good talk with them before the Senate vote begins!"
After resolving the senators' issues.
In the following period, David made various arrangements.
These arrangements not only concern the current bill, but also many issues surrounding its passage.
When they heard that even after the bill was passed, David didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, everyone's hearts were filled with turmoil.
This tax avoidance bill has caused chaos throughout the United States. If it passes smoothly and David has no intention of stopping, what will he do next?
Is it really true, as many people have speculated, that a bill will be introduced to nationalize the Federal Reserve, the world's financial lifeline?
If that's the case, the uproar it will cause will probably be more than ten times greater than it is now!
While everyone was still pondering...
Bessmay seemed to have thought of something and spoke up: "Inspector General David, our family has nothing to say about your upcoming arrangements; we will carry them out to the fullest extent. However, there is another matter that is also extremely important, and I would like to ask for your opinion!"
David looked at him and asked with interest, "Tell me about it."
"This bill has only passed the House of Representatives so far, but it has already caused a significant drop in the market value of major companies across the United States. If it passes the Senate and is signed into law by the president, do you think these companies will experience major upheavals?"
At this point, Bessma paused, her gaze fixed intently on David.
"Go on!"
Hearing David's words, Bessma nodded and continued, "Let me state first that I did not mean to offend Inspector General David."
"I just feel that if the bill passes, but you and the IRS end up with a bunch of 'scrap metal,' then it's meaningless and defeats the original purpose of the bill."
"So what I mean is, if this bill really passes, perhaps we could follow what you did with News Corporation and take over some companies that are experiencing turmoil!"
"With our involvement, while we may not be able to completely reverse these companies' decline, we can at least ensure a minimum standard of performance, ultimately making the passage of this bill more worthwhile. What do you say, Inspector General David?"
Hearing this, David finally understood.
He was so focused on getting the bill passed that he hadn't really thought about this part in detail, but now that he thinks about it, it's true.
This bill is, after all, a reform-oriented one, and if it is successfully passed, it will certainly cause considerable turmoil in the short term.
If those capitalists were ruthless enough to take away the funds and technology of these giant companies, then it would really become what Bessmay said: just a pile of scrap metal.
Given the nature of those capitalists, they are indeed capable of doing such a thing.
After all, during the Great Depression in America, those capitalists preferred to pour their milk into the river rather than give it to the poor or lower the price. Why was that?
Because if this is done, the poor will change their values regarding milk, and they won't be able to sell it at such a high price anymore!
And perhaps this is the mindset of many capitalists now: "Your IRS wants to collect taxes from us and cut our flesh, right? Fine, I'll bankrupt my company and see where you'll collect taxes after your bill is passed!"
It's also worth mentioning that when he was cracking down on News Corporation, didn't those Freemasons also resort to this "what's the use" approach when they saw things were hopeless?
Fortunately, he later found Ted, John, and Sally, and with their resources and capital in the media industry, he was finally able to stabilize News Corporation.
While David was pondering this question, everyone present, including Ivanka and Jafed who were listening in, was also ignited with passion by Bessmay's words.
On the surface, Bessmay was acting in the best interests of the IRS.
But in reality, everyone wasn't stupid; how could they not know what he was planning?
Most companies that can register in those overseas tax havens are companies with good development prospects.
Some even say it's an hen that lays golden eggs.
So as long as you can take over, you might not make a fortune, but you definitely won't lose money.
"Chief Inspector David, I must admit Mr. Bessmay is right on that point. However, I would like to point out that if such a situation were to arise, taking over these companies would require a considerable amount of capital. Therefore... we could certainly lend a hand!"
Before anyone else could react, a voice from this side disrupted the flow of thought in the room.
Everyone turned to look, and it was Jafed who had said those words.
Jafed was a businessman, and he had heard about Sally DeJohn's takeover of News Corporation, which was like taking over a golden goose.
So now, as soon as he hears about the opportunity to take over other companies, he is instantly blinded by the huge profits.
After a moment of surprise, Ivanka couldn't help but curse inwardly.
The criticism was naturally directed at Jafhard for being too hasty.
Taking over those companies might make you a fortune, but you also need to consider the specific circumstances.
First, her family has more important things to do now, which is to run for president for 24 years and take over those companies. The amount of money that will be spent will definitely not be small, and it may affect the election.
Secondly, since Bessmai proposed this idea, it's clear that almost everyone present is eager to get their hands on this business.
And those families who made great contributions to the off-site tax avoidance law haven't even spoken up yet, and you, an invited observer who isn't even one of their own, are trying to snatch food from their mouths. How can they not hold a grudge?
really.
Upon seeing that these words came from Jaffert, Gotha, Charlie, and the others were instantly displeased.
Goddard, unable to contain himself any longer, said sarcastically, "Mr. Jaffert, as far as I know, your father-in-law has been wanting to make a comeback in 24 to run for president. That requires a lot of money. Is your family sure they have the extra funds to do that?"
"Yes, acquiring these companies would require a lot of capital, but I believe I can handle it!"
Jafed is now only thinking about getting a share of the pie, and he doesn't care about anything else.
"Hahaha……"
Upon hearing this, not only did Gotha burst into laughter, but everyone else present did as well.
This mocking laughter annoyed Jarid, but just as he was about to speak, Ivanka shouted at him, "Alright, Mr. Gotha is right. Taking over these companies will indeed require a lot of capital operations. Although our family is willing to participate, I think Inspector General David will decide how to do it."
Ivanka's words were quite insightful.
She didn't say she wasn't interested in that, but instead pointed out that David had his own conclusions. This not only flattered David but also satirized the ridicule the major families had shown them!
You people want a piece of this big cake, don't you? But don't forget, the real decision-making power is still in David's hands.
You only have a chance to take over if David decides to help you. What can you do if he doesn't help?
"Ivanka, we..."
"Stop talking!"
Jafed wanted to say a few more words, but once again, before he could finish speaking, Ivanka interrupted him abruptly.
The conversation between the two was now completely ignored by everyone else present.
Because they knew that Ivanka was right about one thing.
Taking over those companies is indeed tempting, but in any case, the decision rests with David.
If David doesn't agree, none of them will be able to take over the business.
Thinking of this, Bessmay couldn't sit still any longer and said, "Inspector General David, although our family doesn't have the power of the four major families or the Freemasons, we still have some capital operation skills when it comes to taking over companies. If you are willing to help us take over those companies, I can assure you that we will be no worse than Sally and her team when they took over News Corporation!"
"Chief Inspector David, our family also has a lot of experience in capital operations. If these companies really do experience turmoil, we can take over. It will only take us four... no, three months at most to ensure they recover and even generate more tax revenue!"
"Ahem, our Kennedy family is also interested in taking over those companies, and we are confident we can handle it well..."
Even the usually composed Sean couldn't sit still any longer.
It's not hard to understand why he couldn't sit still.
You know, the example of News Corporation is right there; whoever takes over such a company will make a fortune.
And then another opportunity seemed to arise, so how could he possibly pass up the chance to get a piece of the pie?
"Chief Inspector David, this was my idea first. According to the rule of first come, first served, I think I should take the lead in taking over."
Seeing that even the Kennedy family had stepped forward, Bessmay was getting a little anxious.
As he said, there has to be a first-come, first-served order in everything, right?
I was the one who first came up with this idea, so why are you all rushing in to snatch it away?
However, no one indulged Bessmay. Several others quickly followed suit, saying, "Chief Inspector David, there will definitely be quite a few companies to take over. I only need a few from Texas: Aolong, Qinggang, and Haoduozi."
"I don't want these companies, I want..."
"..."
In order to gain control of some desired companies, the people present started a war of words.
"That's enough!"
David couldn't take it anymore and interrupted, "Don't forget, the off-site tax avoidance bill has only just passed the House of Representatives. Next, it has to go through the Senate and the President. You're talking about this too early!"
"However, since you all want to take over some companies, if it really needs to be done, then I'm not unwilling to help you. But then again, the priority now is to let me see your contributions in the upcoming Senate vote!"
To be honest, David wasn't averse to the fact that several families were vying for control of these companies.
If this bill is successfully passed, many companies will inevitably experience huge upheavals, such as bankruptcy or the withdrawal of funds, which could lead to a break in their financial chains.
As a national agency, the IRS cannot directly participate in management.
If these families intervene and stabilize these companies, it would be a good thing for the IRS.
And this is only a small part.
Another point is that since these people are eager to take over some companies that may be in turmoil, things will be much easier!
Next, no matter which family it is, they will absolutely fight tooth and nail to get it passed in the Senate vote!
Upon hearing David's words, everyone present tacitly stopped fighting.
However, everyone had made up their minds that in the upcoming Senate vote, no matter the cost, they would ensure that their side played a vital role.
In this way, we will have more leverage when it comes to taking over these companies later!
With this matter settled, the meeting can be considered essentially over.
The meeting was officially adjourned after David gave the order.
The members of the various families did not linger and left with heavy, rapid steps.
