"He's already surpassed by 30 million, and there are only a few days left. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
"Brown, you possess the resources of the best district within our national tax agency. If you can't compete with that, I think you might as well abandon any hope of moving up to the headquarters!"
To be honest, Welton Heng was sowhat disappointed in Brown.
Just as he said, Brown controlled the Manhattan District, while David only managed the garbage district of Lake District.
If Brown can't win against that, then there's really nothing left to say.
At this mont, Brown's heart was filled with extre frustration, but naturally, he wasn't going to give up so easily and continued to explain, "If he was relying solely on the modest resources of Lake District, of course it wouldn't be like this, but what he's backed by now is the entire resource pool of Nevada State..."
"You have the nerve to bring that up!"
Welton Heng interrupted directly, "He only has the resources of the entire Nevada State because he has the ability to control the state. That's his rit. Why can't you take control of the entire New York State?"
At this, Brown completely ran out of rebuttals.
Indeed, the resources of Nevada State weren't originally David's. It was only through David's iron-fist policies that he managed to win them over.
While Brown could also have tried to woo them, he didn't have the sa tactics, so whom could he bla?
"Enough, there's no point in discussing these aningless words anymore. I'll give you a clear path now. Our senior managent has already confird that off-book tax achievents can also be used as capital for the election. You should know what to do, right?"
Don't look at the tax agency as a solid block in the eyes of outsiders, ready to take joint revenge on anyone who dares to interfere with their people.
But in reality, there are many factions within the tax agency itself.
And the winner of this deification project, once elected, almost certainly secures a spot in the high ranks of the headquarters in the future.
Even with the right operation and packaging, becoming the head of the headquarters in the future is not impossible.
So as much as he scolded, Welton Heng wasn't going to give up Brown at this critical juncture, especially since he had invested a lot of effort in Brown over this period.
Upon hearing that off-book taxes could also be used as campaign capital, Brown instantly awakened and replied, "Consultant Welton Heng, you've really reminded . I'll handle it."
After ending the call, Welton Heng fell into deep thought.
He had picked up on sothing—although Welton Heng was reminding him that off-book taxes could be used as campaign capital, he was also implying a deeper aning.
That was to hint to him that when necessary, he could resort to so 'cheating' tactics, and Welton Heng would cover for him at the headquarters!
With this in mind, he imdiately called Kelly in and said, "Go to Wall Street and summon Bright, Osmond, and those fund investors for . Tell them I want to talk to them."
...
A few hours later.
In Nevada State, Las Vegas's McCarran International Airport, David and his party walked out and then directly returned to the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch.
Upon his return, William, having received the news, imdiately invited David into his office and asked, "Tell , the specific details of this 56 million..."
"It's like this..."
David went on to roughly explain the series of events that had taken place at GCO Prison and in Los Angeles.
"I didn't expect you to collect this tax from a company like GCO..."
William, although not fully aware of the details of GCO as a company, could tell just from the title of "one of Arica's top three private prisons" that this wasn't a company to be ssed with.
Yet unexpectedly, it was David who had brought them to heel.
After he finished marvelling, William seed to recall sothing and his expression darkened as he cursed, "That Long Beach Branch is really shaless, using such disgusting tactics as freezing funds. If it were soone else, they would surely have had no choice but to accept defeat."
"Their actions are quite disgusting, but fortunately, I've still managed to retrieve the money," said David.
William's expression softened a bit, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose, "You're now 30 million ahead of New York's Brown Soros, and with only three days left, it looks like you're almost certain for the deification project."
"I hope so..."
"But that's Los Angeles we're talking about. Honestly, I'm incredibly envious..."
William couldn't help but express his feelings.
Although the Los Angeles Branch chief's rank is equal to his own as the chief of the Lake District Branch, the actual status between them is worlds apart.
It's like the difference between China's big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen and other cities.
Moreover, historically, the chiefs of the Los Angeles Branch often moved up to beco part of the headquarters' managent.
So naturally, at this mont, William was very envious.
"Oh right, chief, there's sothing I'd like to consult with you about..."
"What is it?"
"Well, if I do succeed in getting elected, I'd like to bring Nisen, Bucky, Simmons... these few guys along with ."
"No problem, I'll handle the procedures when the ti cos," William replied without a second thought, instantly agreeing to David's request.
For the Lake District Branch, David was the most important asset, but there was no way to keep him if he was set to rise higher.
As for Nisen, Bucky, Simmons, while they were sowhat capable inspectors, to be brutally honest, they weren't exactly indispensable to the Lake District.
