United states tax collector

"Bang!"

Just when Murdoch was still daydreaming, a loud noise startled him. He looked up and saw that it was his secretary who broke in. He immediately asked dissatisfiedly: "How many times have I said that no matter what happens, you have to knock on the door before entering!"

"Mr. Murdoch, our News Corporation has been announced to be investigated!"

"Ah?"

Murdoch was stunned on the spot, his face full of disbelief.

Of course he knew how powerful David was, but he still chose to jump out and confront the other party because he knew that in the United States, freedom of the press is very important.

So he was sure before he took action that even if David wanted to move him, the senior officials of the IRS would stop him.

But what he didn't expect was that David dared to move him now?

Isn't he afraid of being condemned and retaliated, and suppressing freedom of the press?

Even if David is crazy, are the senior officials of the IRS crazy too?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but Murdoch still couldn't believe it. He immediately asked in an urgent tone: "What's going on? What is the Los Angeles IRS doing?"

"Mr. Murdoch, it's not the Los Angeles IRS, but the FBI!"

"What did you say!"

Murdoch was surprised again, and then hurriedly confirmed: "You mean, it was not the Los Angeles IRS that announced the investigation against us, but the FBI?"

"Yes."

"On what charge?"

"They announced the reopening of the 911 wiretapping investigation against us."

"911 wiretapping!"

Murdoch's face sank when he heard this.

He had settled this matter more than a decade ago, and now it suddenly broke out. He didn't believe that the FBI had found some new clues.

And even if the FBI had some new clues, there were many people from their Freemasons in this organization. How could he not receive any information in advance?

Could it be... Yes, this matter is definitely related to David!

In order to learn more information, Murdoch picked up his phone and flipped through the address book, then dialed a number...

After about seven or eight minutes, he ended the call with a gloomier face.

According to the Freemasons in the FBI, this matter has been approved by a deputy director in charge of criminal investigations, and then Gavin, a former special agent in Nevada, set up an investigation team to investigate.

He also heard about Gavin. When he was in office in Nevada, this guy announced that he would investigate the governor of the state, Stevenson. Obviously, he had become David's lackey at that time.

This also further confirmed Murdoch's previous speculation that the FBI's investigation against them was pushed by David from beginning to end!

But it must be said that David's move was really vicious.

He used the FBI to deal with them, hiding behind them as a trader, which could prevent people from saying that the IRS was retaliating and suppressing press freedom, and the most important thing was that it was still based on the crime of the 911 wiretapping scandal.

911 was too much of an incident for Americans. He had to work very hard to settle the incident, and now it has been exposed again. With David behind the scenes, it will be difficult to suppress the incident before it is resolved.

"Go, destroy all the data on this, and..."

These data have been accumulated over the years, and it is a pity to destroy them like this, but Murdoch can't care about so much, because the situation is not good now, and he must be foolproof.

Otherwise, if this matter is made bigger, he will not only block David from being promoted, but he may even have to step down.

...

As time goes by, coupled with the constant "fanning the flames" of the Ansa Group, the public opinion about the News Corporation's wiretapping scandal is getting bigger and bigger.

Not long after the incident broke out, the Freemasons, led by Henrietta and Joshua Mogen, called Murdoch one after another and expressed their concerns about the matter.

After all, the public opinion attack on David has just achieved certain results. After this incident broke out, the public opinion war must be put on hold.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is not to let the FBI find out anything, otherwise it will be a loss.

Fortunately, although the FBI announced the restart of the investigation into this matter, it has not directly announced that it has any evidence.

After destroying all relevant materials, Murdoch has gained some confidence, which can be regarded as a reassurance to the entire Freemasonry.

Time came to the second day.

Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service, in the director's office.

"Gavin is in New York, I think the show should start!"

"Hehe, I want to see how much News Corporation will fall after the stock market opens."

"Here it comes!"

Nissen, Bucky, and Simmons were joking and chatting, while David was drinking coffee leisurely, but with Simmons' reminder, he also set his sights on the big TV screen hanging on the wall.

"Hello, everyone. This is CNN. The investigation team led by Agent Gavin has arrived at the News Corporation in New York. Let's see what happens next..."

From the TV screen, we can see that Gavin, dressed in a black suit and sunglasses, got out of the car and led a large number of agents into the News Corporation building in a swift and decisive manner.

After about 15 people had passed, Gavin walked out, but when he saw a large group of people behind him, the entire network went crazy.

"Those are News Corporation's board members Tony Aldrich and Theodore Xavier, as well as the CFO, department heads... so many people were actually taken out by the FBI, it's incredible!"

"The FBI investigation team just arrived in New York and took away more than a dozen senior members of News Corporation in one fell swoop. This must have given them such confidence!"

“So many people were taken away by the FBI, which is no less than a ‘house raid’. "

News Corporation, in an office on the top floor, there was a sound of a cup being thrown.

Murdock's face was livid, and opposite him, his secretary's face showed a hint of panic, but he still said bravely: "First... Sir, Gavin was very tough just now. , and with such a confident appearance, he took away so many of our senior officials, I'm afraid..."

What he wanted to say was that I'm afraid the FBI already had some leverage, otherwise it would not have dared to make such a big splash, but at the end of the day he couldn't say this.

In fact, there is no need for him to say that Murdoch, as an old fox who has worked hard in shopping malls for decades, of course knows very well that if there is no bargaining chip, the FBI investigation team dares to come directly to their headquarters?

Taking away so many high-level officials in front of the whole world?

What did David find out about them, and what did he give Gavin, the loser?

While Murdoch was still worried, there was a knock on the office door and another secretary of his came in. This person said in a panic: "Sir, due to the impact of the incident just now, the stock market will now open. The market value of the company has plummeted. If this continues... it may conservatively drop by more than 20 percentage points."

A group's market value is conservatively estimated to fall by 20 percentage points. This may sound like an exaggeration, but Murdoch knows that based on the current situation, it may not be an exaggeration at all.

You know, when the 911 wiretapping incident broke out last time, their group fell by 15 percentage points.

And now this matter has not only come out again, but the key thing is that the FBI just took away so many senior executives of their group, which will definitely make the market have a serious lack of confidence in their group.

No, something must be done!

After thinking for a while, Murdoch said: "Convene a press conference. I...oh no, let Marion come out to speak and stabilize the market."

As the founder of News Corporation, and with the reputation he has accumulated over the years, as long as he stands up, the market will definitely regain some confidence in their group.

But he thought of a problem, that is, he didn't know what David gave to the FBI.

If the FBI finally gets hold of some evidence about their group, his speech at the press conference may put him in a passive position later on.

So to be on the safe side, he finally decided to find a 'scapegoat'.

Soon, News Corporation's press conference was officially held.

Marion, a member of the board of directors who was not taken away for investigation, stood up and gave a guarantee in front of the whole country. As for the content, there was no illegal behavior at News Corporation, and there was no 911 eavesdropping.

After that, News Corporation relied on its powerful media channels to really induce many people to believe in the group's innocence and restore some confidence in the stock market.

Of course, despite this, News Corporation's market value still fell by more than 8 percentage points in just one day.

That night, Murdock couldn't sleep all night.

And when the time came to the next morning, he came to the office early.

Because according to law, the FBI cannot detain a suspect for more than 24 hours without evidence or other circumstances.

So as long as the senior officials they took away yesterday are released today, it means that the FBI is just bluffing and there is no actual evidence, then he can breathe a sigh of relief.

Time passed by and it came to 9.20 minutes.

Even though Murdock has been in the mall for decades, he was staring at his watch nervously at this moment, but the next second, his office door was knocked again.

When he saw that it was his secretary who came in with an ugly face, his mood suddenly sank.

"Sir, the FBI has just released a piece of information. The content of the information shows that during the time when 911 occurred, we did set up a 'monitoring department'. The information is here. Take a look."

As he spoke, he placed the tablet in front of Murdoch.

After reading the content carefully, Murdoch's face suddenly became ugly, because it did involve some confidential information of their group.

But soon, he looked calm and said: "What can this information prove? And the department we established is not the monitoring department he called, it is just a department that collects news-related content!"

"This really cannot be used as direct evidence, but it is a bit coincident with the time when 911 happened. This will definitely make people who are questioning us a little more daydreaming..."

"Kekeke..."

While he was talking, the door was knocked again, and the person who came in reported: "Sir, the latest news is that the FBI has obtained some key information and has applied to the court to extend the detention time of our senior executives, and has been approved."

"Damn, what on earth do they want to do!"

Mo Du Ke cursed, but he also felt something was wrong.

The FBI first took a large number of their senior executives back, and then they didn't say anything until today, when it was almost time to release them, and suddenly released a document to extend the detention time of their senior executives, and it was approved by the court so quickly.

Why does this feel like a chain of links?

"Beep, beep..."

The ringing of the phone brought Murdoch back to his senses. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Soros calling. After hesitating for a while, he still picked up the phone and said, "I'm very busy now. Just tell me what you want to say, Soros."

"Murdoch, something is wrong. My company has detected that someone is taking advantage of the stock market crash of your company to 'bottom-fish' your subsidiaries."

"What did you say!"

Murdoch was shocked.

Soros is a big shot in the stock market, and his hedge fund company is even more famous on Wall Street. Since he has detected this, it is probably not wrong.

Could it be that the series of events that happened before were to cooperate with the stock market?

"Although we don't know who these people in the stock market are, we can be sure that they must be related to David. You have to be careful, so as not to lose control of News Corporation in the end. The consequences will be very serious."

In fact, there was no need for Soros to remind him. At this moment, Murdoch already felt cold hands and feet, and cold sweats ran down his body.

The reason why he can have such a high position in the Freemasonry group is that he has mastered the core propaganda tool of the group.

Once he loses control, his position will definitely plummet.

But this is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that he has a bold guess in his heart now.

That is, David asked the FBI to stand up against him, so that he arrested people, published documents, and extended detention. Now he has made so many moves in the stock market. It is very likely that he is not only retaliating against their group, but also wants to control this public opinion tool in his hands.

And once this tool falls into David's hands, this guy will use this tool to attack, destroy and discredit the image of them, the Jews, and then they can only stand and be beaten!

Murdoch didn't dare to think about it anymore. He immediately shouted: "Don't worry about those detained people now. Let all departments and companies tighten the plate and don't let others take the opportunity to "confiscate their homes"!"
