People in other countries tend to look up to the IRS because of some hearsay, and people are wondering how powerful the IRS is and how not to provoke it. In fact, the wealthy people in the entire United States with some assets are trying to avoid taxes, avoid taxes and evade taxes. The boundaries are also very vague.Moreover, even if tax evasion is discovered, it is usually just a matter of making up for the tax, and few people go to prison for it.

Imagine if the IRS is really so pervasive and powerful, how could it leave the wealthy with so many loopholes, or even the Amazon tax rate?

However, in another case, IRS is indeed very powerful.

When it is used as a power tool.

This is actually the case worldwide. The most familiar thing in Simon’s memory is that there is a wave of industrial, commercial, taxation, fire, and sanitation, and it’s easy to get your company out of business.

On the US side, the most talked about gang boss, Al Capone, could not escape the case of IRS sanctions. In fact, many people have made mistakes.It is not Al Capone’s tax evasion and tax evasion at all, but the US government wants to clean up this overly arrogant gangster. IRS is just a tool of power in this process.

Because various acts of evading and avoiding taxes and evasion in the United States are so common, the use of IRS is often very effective in the process of upper-level power dumping.

Because one check is accurate.

Why did a golden real estate developer insist on not publishing his tax records before and after being elected president?Is it just because of tax avoidance?Amazon even publicizes the negative tax rate. If tax avoidance is proper, what can be done to disclose it? Anyway, the public's requirements for its moral standards have really been reduced to a minimum.

The key to the matter is still unchecked.Once publicly exposed, the swarming media and political opponents will definitely pick up the microscope and examine it a little bit, and the smallest flaws will be magnified a thousand times, not to mention that the flaws are too obvious.

Now, the Levison Group, which Simon plans to acquire, has also encountered a similar situation.

The Westeros system has already controlled the property of a golden-haired real estate developer, but Simon does not intend to support the other party too much, and slowly hangs it.However, Simon is also very optimistic about the prospects of the real estate industry, which requires other real estate companies as expansion tools, and Levison Group is a good target.

After winning this company, the Westeros system will have a very complete set of real estate development and operation teams, and can also obtain a large number of high-quality real estate projects. At the same time, using this company, it can further expand to North America and overseas.

Therefore, after the Levison Group refused his conditions of participation, Simon only put pressure on his huge debt, intending to force the Levison family to succumb.

The IRS blended in without warning, and it was totally the rhythm of wanting to bankrupt the Levison Group.

The trace of manipulation behind the scene is also very obvious.

Francis Levison was arrested only because of a less than $2 million edging tax evasion in a transaction three years ago.

$2 million. For a super rich with a family of 1 billion assets, it’s drizzle. Under normal circumstances, the IRS will definitely not be so active, and often only let the rich pay taxes, plus a fine. .

Now, not only was Francis Levison arrested, the IRS also frozen the Levison Group’s bank account on this ground, and planned to conduct a further detailed review of the Levies Group’s corporate accounts within five years.The situation of the Levison Group is already not good. IRS does this. Those creditors will only be more anxious to recover the money. It is completely the rhythm of the bankrupt settlement of this old real estate company.

Some time ago, the contact between the Westeros system and the Levison Group was well known.

Suddenly this kind of thing happened, everyone would only subconsciously think that this was Simon doing things behind his back.

Failure to buy and sell will push the other company to a desperate situation. If this reputation spreads, it will be very disadvantageous for the Westeros system, not to mention,

Using the strong network of connections established by the Westeros system in the federal government, Simon quickly ascertained the truth.

It's very simple.

This incident once again points to the Republican forces that dominate the South, or, to be precise, the Bush family.

Simon can also easily figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Florida is often an important swing state related to the results of each presidential election. Simon can see this. As a political family, the Bush family is of course more aware of this. As early as 1986, before the elder Bush’s election, the second son of the Bush family Bush abandoned business and entered politics, and began to serve as an important secretary of commerce in Florida. Last year, he also tried to run for governor.

All of this is to gain the initiative to sprint the White House as far as possible in this famous political swing state.

In the past few years, because Simon secretly helped Clinton defeat the old Bush to enter the White House, and realized that the Westeros system has become more and more powerful political influence, the Bush family has made several small moves in a row, the two sides can be described as you come and go.

After last year’s midterm elections, Simon has asked the Westero system’s political lobbying team to work on Florida. This time, he tried to invest in the Levison Group headquartered in Florida, although the main purpose is to expand the Westero system. The territory of the real estate industry, but even Simon himself has considered that the Levison Group, which has a centuries-old shareholding in Florida, will definitely be able to gather a large number of local political forces.

The Bush family, which has been in Florida for many years, will certainly not allow this to happen.

Then, the Levison Group was in huge trouble.

The black pot also needs Simon to carry it.

If possible, Simon actually didn't want to mess with politics at all, but this matter once again responded to the sentence commonly seen in martial arts novels.

People in the arena involuntarily.

Three famous Wall Street snipers in the 1980s, Ron Perelman, Carl Icahn and Michael Milken, why Milken was finally jailed, and the same bad Ron Perelman The two were free from Carl Icahn, obviously there are many signs of violations that can be traced, and finally they are gone. Although there are many reasons, but the key point is that Ron Perelman and Carl Icahn All are active political activists, and are the big money behind many politicians, actively participating in various election activities.

The sex scandal between Clinton and Lewinsky is well known, but few people notice an obscure detail, Monica Lewinsky, actually recommended by Ron Perelman to enter the White House as an intern.

Although the result of the matter is not good, Clinton and Perelman are very close friends in private.

Both Karl Icahn and Ron Perelman have strong connections in Washington. By comparison, Michael Milken is far from the political center of the United States.In order to live a comfortable life, the legendary financier who brought the junk bond market to the top has deliberately moved his responsible De Chong Securities bond department to Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States. He has never had much interest in politics.

As a result, in the storm of investigations on a Wall Street financial giant in the late 1980s, Ron Perelman and Carl Icahn escaped easily, but Michael Milken took off a skin.

Lessons from the past.

If Simon is just a Hollywood filmmaker like Spielberg, then it must be what he wants.However, with the current size of the Westeros system, if you don't try to nurture your political power as much as possible, the result will only be a fat sheep that is constantly being cut by the knife.

Even Simon had to stand up against all kinds of objections to the development of military forces controlled solely by the Westeros system, as well as the powerful countermeasures he had been planning in private.

Children holding gold in downtown must be coveted.

In just eight years, the Westero system has grown to such a large scale. In fact, it is the most typical child in the downtown area holding gold.

However, if this child is followed by several strong bodyguards with bodyguards carrying a dreadful sword, the child even has one or two grenades on his body if you dare to rob me, basically It is enough to let most passers-by look away from gold.

Simon's continued layout in recent years is only to achieve this goal.

For this small move by the Bush family, if it was a few years ago, Simon might play with the other party, even if it eventually changed the course of American political history.

Now Simon does not plan to do this.

Simon hopes that the history of this country will continue to follow the original trajectory, and hopes that the Bush family will continue to toss for eight years, and all the vitality that Clinton has just recovered will be emptied.

Weak nations and people are the best survival soil for oligarchs.

Simon Ben is a person who firmly believes in human nature and evil. During this time, reading a certain Chinese book made him jump out of many past misunderstandings.

The way to dominate the world is by no means the best thing you give to others, and you will be rewarded accordingly.

Therefore, Simon decided to talk to the Bush family in person.

The 71-year-old Bush, who was basically in retirement, was surprised by Simon's secret invitation.

Since the 1992 election, the two sides have actually stood opposite each other.

In recent years, the old Bush has privately operated a lot of small actions in private because of the loss of the election in 1992, and in order to pave the way for the future of his two sons. Simon, who is increasingly powerful and wealthy, has also become a key target of the Bush family.

I thought that both sides would not have any chance of seeing the king, but I didn't expect that the young man would send an invitation in person.

Carefully pondering, since last year's mid-term elections, Simon Westero has actually shown dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party, otherwise he will not bet on both sides.

Is this intended to turn completely?

Although the two sides have come and gone in private, if the Simon Westero intends to switch to the Republican side, the Bush family will never be stupid enough to turn the other side out.Since the end of last year's mid-term elections, a behemoth like the Westeros system has been a force that no politician would dare to take lightly.

As for the contradiction that the two sides have accumulated, it would be nothing if they could bring a big help.

Therefore, the second day after receiving the invitation, the elder Bush secretly flew to Aspen, a ski resort in central Colorado, according to the invitation of the other party.

As the former president of the Federation, the old Bush still has the protection of the Secret Service.

To some extent, these people are actually eyeliners.

So, to keep the trip secret, he even tossed it a bit.It is not easy for a 71-year-old man to travel from a warm southern state like Texas to central Aspen, the coldest time of the year.

Simon Westero probably also wanted to see their sincerity, and Bush Bush took it for granted.

The other party is now qualified enough to put this kind of generality.

This is Friday, January 20.

Colorado, where Aspen is located, is adjacent to Utah, where Park City is located. The distance between the two ski resorts is about 400 kilometers.

Simon attended the opening ceremony of the Sundance Film Festival yesterday, and apparently remained in the holiday villa surrounded by snow and ice in Park City. In fact, he quietly departed from Park City early in the morning today. Only a few confidants were brought because of the road. It happened that it was snowing in some areas and the traffic was very slow. Two ordinary cars of different models didn't arrive at their destination until two o'clock in the afternoon.In order to avoid being exposed, there wasn't even a stop for lunch.

The meeting place is in a very ordinary mountain holiday chalet.

On the Simon side, only Neil Bennett was with him. Several other bodyguards were left in the city. There are also only two people on the Bush side.

Compared to Simon's servant, Bush, who arrived in a private plane, was much more comfortable.Simon can actually take a private jet, but he does not want to leave any flight records that may be pursued.

During the Bush administration, various invitations were issued to Simon, a young man who quickly became famous, but he was always rejected by Simon. This was the first time the two met, but they were very familiar.After saying hello, the two entered the holiday cabin, and the other two followers took the initiative to stay outside.

When he came to sit by the burning fireplace, Bush also prepared a bottle of agave, which was said to be very old, and poured a glass for Simon himself.

The veteran politician obviously wanted to learn more about Simon through face-to-face conversations, and Simon should be comfortable with it.

Finally, discussing the layout of Simon in Ukraine, Bush finally actively asked: "Simon, you invited me here this time, is there anything?"

Simon took a sip of pure Mexican agave, looked at Bush, did not turn around, and said directly: "George, I just want to talk to you face-to-face to avoid unnecessary conflicts in the future."

Bush Bush narrowed his eyes slightly, but said: "We have never had any conflicts."

Simon smiled and looked directly at each other: "George, there are some things that everyone knows, isn't it? In fact, last year's mid-term elections, I was revealing my wishes to Washington. I didn't participate too much in political affairs. Preferences, so I increased my layout in Congress in order not to participate in the most competitive position. And all I did was just to protect myself, but to ensure that my personal interests would not be affected. Infringement."

The older Bush hesitated slightly, and if he pointed out, "So, what about Florida?"

Simon is still direct: "This is my counterattack to the Kevin Moore House in Pennsylvania. George, although the political strategy of the Westeros system is self-protection, I am not the kind of provocation Those who do not fight back. In order to avoid the fists that people will fight each other become heavier, I will invite you to this meeting."

Bush Bush stared at Simon for a moment, and finally said, "Simon, I need to see your sincerity."

Simon said: "I can let my people completely withdraw from the layout of Florida, is this considered sincere?"

Bush did not expect Simon to speak so well, and he even doubted whether the kid was cheating.It is true that the Levison Group's tax investigation was personally arranged by him, but he did not feel that this move alone would make Simon Westero take the initiative to compromise.

This makes no sense.

Simon felt the suspicion of Bush’s eyes and said: “I just said that the political strategy of the Westeros system is based on self-preservation. I did not have too much ambition in Washington. So, this That’s my sincerity. In exchange, I don’t want to see any targeting of the Westeros from the Republican Party in the South, oh, and the Levison Group’s farce, I hope it will end next week. "

Bush said immediately: "Don't you say you want to give up Florida?"

"I give up the political layout in Florida, but the Levison Group is a business. The next phase of the Westeros system will increase investment in the real estate industry. The Levison Group is a very good platform."

The old Bush fell silent, picked up the agave and leaned over his mouth. After a while, he said: "It's unlikely next week. Simon, you know, once something starts, it's not so easy to close, at least For half a month, IRS still has to face."

"Then let Levison out first."

"It's okay." Bush nodded and looked at Simon, and suddenly asked: "Do you think Clinton can be re-elected?"

"of course."

"So, what about 2000?"

Simon smiled and said, "I have just said that I have increased the layout of Congress in order not to interfere as much as possible with the position of too sensitive. 2000 election, that is your own business."

"Simon, I think you can stand on our side. You have also seen that the Democratic Party is simply a mess, and the Republican Party's ruling philosophy is more suitable for the development of the Westeros system."

"You're right, George, but people always insist on something." Simon shook his head and said, "And, although I will mainly support the Democratic Party, I will not give up the friendship with the Republican Party. Maybe it’s a bit smooth, standing in my place, you know, I have to do the same."

Bush, of course, is clear.

The current Westeros system is really huge.

After the rise in the share price during the beginning of the year, the total value of the stocks of Cisco, AOL, Daenerys Entertainment and Microsoft, which are mainly held by the Westeros system, has exceeded $300 billion. Many media predict that Simon’s Personal net worth has reached 500 billion US dollars.

500 billion US dollars, which is already 7% of the US GDP of 7.2 trillion US dollars in 1994, far exceeding the Rockefeller family's peak wealth of 1.5% of the federal GDP.

Standing in such a position, it is simply impossible to maintain a pure position.

The necessity to settle the settlement tendency simply and neatly is actually just the beginning, and both parties will have to see whether the other party will carry out the cash.

However, the results of this meeting have been reached.

The two did not leave in a hurry, and continued to chat for more than an hour in the south and the sea, and finally there was some sympathy, which made the guest and the host happy.

Bush Bush will stay in Aspen tonight.

After completing the meeting, Simon had no plans to spend the night in Aspen, and took advantage of the separation in the evening until he returned to Park City until more than nine o'clock in the evening.
