Chapter 761: Chapter 381: Distribution of Benefits After the Bill is Passed_2

On the surface, Mr. Baisemai seems to be acting in the best interest of the Internal Revenue Service.

However, everyone is not a fool; how could they not know what he’s trying to calculate?

The companies registered in those overseas tax havens are mostly ones with promising prospects.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say some are like hens that lay golden eggs.

Thus, as long as one can take over, even if not making huge profits, one will certainly not suffer a loss.

“Inspector David, I must admit Mr. Baisemai is right,” she said, “but what I want to say is that if such a situation truly arises, taking over these companies would require a significant amount of capital, so… we can also lend a hand!”

...

Before others had time to collect their thoughts, a voice from their side disrupted the mood at the scene.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and the speaker turned out to be Jafede.

Jafede, a businessman, had also heard about Charlotte de John taking over the News Corporation; that was a hen that laid golden eggs.

So, now hearing about the opportunity to take over other companies, he was instantly blinded by the enormous profits.

However, Ivanka, after being briefly stunned, couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

The curse was naturally directed at Jafede for being too anxious.

Taking over those companies could perhaps earn huge profits, but one also had to look at the specific situation.

First, their family had more important things to do right now, which was to run for the presidency in ’24. Taking over those companies would definitely require a substantial amount of funds, which could impact the election.

Second, since Mr. Baisemai brought up this idea, it could be seen that almost everyone present was tempted.

And those families who had made significant efforts for the foreign tax havens legislation had not even spoken yet; you, merely invited to listen and not even from their own, are trying to snatch the opportunity from their mouths; how could they not hold a grudge?

As expected.

Seeing that Jafede was the one who had spoken, Goda and Charlie were immediately displeased.

Goda couldn’t hold back and in a sarcastic tone, said, “Mr. Jafede, as far as I know, your father-in-law has been worrying about re-entering the race for president in ’24, which requires a substantial amount of funds. Is your family sure it has additional funds to operate?”

“Yes, it indeed requires a large amount of capital to acquire these companies, but I believe I can handle it!”

Jafede was now solely focused on getting his piece of the pie, hardly caring about anything else.

“Ha ha ha…”

At these words, not only did Goda burst out laughing, but so did everyone else present.

This mocking laughter irritated Jared a bit, but just as he was about to speak, Ivanka sharply scolded him, “Enough! Mr. Goda is right, acquiring these companies indeed requires sizable capital operations. Although our family is keen to participate, as for how to do so, I believe Inspector David will have his own verdict.”

Ivanka’s response was apt.

She didn’t express disinterest but pointed out that David had his own verdict, which not only complimented David but also counter-ridiculed the families mocking them!

You all want a slice of this big cake, but don’t forget, the real power of decision still lies in David’s hands.

Only if David decides to help you take over will you have the chance; if he doesn’t help, what can you do?

“Ivanka, we…”

“Enough said!”

Jafede wanted to say more, but again before he could finish, Ivanka cut him off sharply.

At this moment, those present were no longer paying attention to the conversation between the two.

Because they knew Ivanka had a very valid point.

Taking over those companies was indeed enticing, but regardless, the decision was in David’s hands.

If David didn’t nod, they wouldn’t be able to take over any of them.

Thinking of this, Mr. Beisemai couldn’t sit still any longer and said, “Chief Inspector David, although our family doesn’t have the strength of the major families like the Four Great Families and Freemasonry when it comes to taking over companies, we still possess some capital operation techniques. If you are willing to help us take over those companies when the time comes, I can guarantee you that we won’t perform any worse than Sally’s News Corporation!”

“Chief Inspector David, our family also has a deep understanding of capital operations. Should these companies really face turmoil and it falls to us to take over, we would only need four… no, a maximum of three months to ensure they recover and even generate more tax revenue!”

“Cough, cough, the Kennedy Family is also interested in taking over these companies and confident in handling them well…”

The usually composed Sean couldn’t sit still either.

It wasn’t hard to understand why.

Given the previous example of News Corporation, anyone who took over such companies would make a huge profit.

And now it seemed there was such an opportunity again, how could he pass up the chance to have a share of the pie.

“Chief Inspector David, I was the first to come up with this idea, following the principle of first-come-first-serve, I believe I should take a leading role in taking over.”

Seeing even the Kennedy Family stepping forward, Mr. Beisemai was becoming somewhat impatient.

As he said, everything should have a sequence, right?

This idea was mine first, why are you all rushing to snatch it away?

However, no one catered to Mr. Beisemai’s urgency, as the others quickly followed up, “Chief Inspector David, when it comes time to take over, there will definitely be numerous companies involved. I only need a few from Texas, such as Aolong, Qinggang, and Haoduoz is enough for me,”

“I don’t want these ones, I want…”

“…”

To gain control over some coveted companies, the attendees started a verbal brawl.

“Enough!”

David couldn’t stand it anymore and cut in, “Don’t forget, the overseas tax haven bill has only passed the House of Congress so far, there’s still the Senate and the President to deal with. It’s too early to talk about this now!”

“But since you all want to take over some companies, if it really comes down to it, I am not opposed to helping you. But, speaking of which, the immediate priority is for you to show your contributions in the upcoming Senate vote!”

David didn’t actually mind the major families fighting over the control of these companies.

Because if this bill really became law, many companies would inevitably experience major upheavals, such as bankruptcies, or disruptions in their funding chains.

And as an institution of the state, the Internal Revenue Service couldn’t directly manage these companies.

If these families stepped in by then, stabilizing these companies would indeed be beneficial for the Internal Revenue Service.

And that was just one aspect.

Another point was, since these people were all eager to take over some potentially unstable companies, that would make things easier!

No matter which family it was, they would all definitely go to great lengths in the Senate vote!

Hearing David’s words, everyone at the meeting tacitly stopped their squabbling.

But by now, everyone had made up their minds that, no matter the cost, they must ensure they played an important role in the upcoming Senate vote.

With that, they would have a firm footing when it came time to vie for the companies!

Once things settled after this event, the meeting was essentially concluded.

At David’s signal, the meeting officially adjourned.

The representatives of the major families didn’t linger, quickly leaving with heavy and rapid steps.
