Chapter 262: Chapter 182: Washington D.C. Headquarters Meeting
As William\'s words came to an end, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
David immediately rose from his seat and bowed to the people behind him to express his gratitude.
"Alright, let\'s now report on the situation of each team in our bureau..."
In the following time, William went through the tax collection situation of each team during the appraisal period, criticizing where necessary and offering encouragement where due.
Finally, he came to a point that many people in the room were most concerned about, which was the matter of official funding for this occasion.
"Hmm..."
William cleared his throat slightly, and under the gaze of the expectant crowd, he slowly said, "Due to the substantial new heights reached by this period\'s tax performance, the official funding has also seen a significant increase. As instructed by the headquarters, our Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch has been allocated 3 million in official funds..."
Upon hearing the amount of 3 million, aside from David and his team, the eyes of the other nine Chief Tax Officers and their team members present all lit up with eagerness.
"This official funding, as Director David\'s inspection team has contributed the most, hence the seventh team will receive an allocation of 1 million. As for the first team..."
In the time that followed, William began the distribution of the official funds.
As usual, the team with the greatest contribution received more funds, while the less significant ones received less.
Twenty minutes later, the 3 million official funds were officially distributed. William then delivered some motivational words for the new appraisal period, and the appraisal meeting was adjourned.
Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., at the America Tax Bureau headquarters.
The America Tax Bureau Headquarters are located in the heart of the Washington D.C. area, on the magnificent Constitution Avenue.
The headquarters building is rectangular, adorned with classic white marble, and the frontage bears the emblem of the America Tax Bureau. This emblem, shaped like a shield set upon a silver banner, represents the authority and precision of taxation.
Upon entering the building, what stands out the most is the portrait of Lincoln, the founder of the Tax Bureau, on the wall, and beneath him hang the portraits of past directors.
At the other end of the wall showing Lincoln and past directors, there are also portraits and information of individuals who have made significant contributions to the Tax Bureau in its nearly 160 years of existence, including Inspectors and Chief Tax Officers.
Naturally, having one\'s portrait displayed here is the dream of every Inspector, Chief Tax Officer, Tax Investigator, and even Branch Director across the country.
At the top floor of the headquarters building are the offices of the Director and other senior leaders.
At this moment, in a conference room on this floor, there is a rectangular table set up in the center surrounded by almost all of the high-ranking officials of the Tax Bureau.
"This assessment period is over, let\'s hear everyone\'s thoughts?"
At one end of the rectangular table, a man in his early fifties wearing a gray suit, with relatively thick brows that gave him a powerful presence even when calm, spoke these words.
He is the current helmsman of the America Tax Bureau, Obadiah Bill.
"The Manhattan Branch performed well, becoming the first to break the one-billion mark in black tax revenue since the passage of our black tax law. I think we should tilt more resources towards this branch to achieve even better results."
"The Long Beach Branch is also good, not quite a billion but still reaching more than 80 million, showing great potential."
"The Queens District Branch did well too..."
"..."
Many of the high-ranking officials present had risen through the ranks from these branches and still wielded influence over them.
As these branches fell within their spheres of influence, they were naturally vocal in defending their regions\' interests.
"I think the branch that performed best is the Lake District Sub-Bureau in Las Vegas. It\'s a miracle that such a small branch could achieve tax performance of over 60 million!"
As everyone continued to defend their branches, this statement made everyone stop their discussions and turn their heads to look.
Turns out, the one who made this statement was none other than the Deputy Director in charge of the black tax law, Donald Gardner.

"I agree with Deputy Director Donald\'s words. It is indeed a miracle for a small branch like the Lake District to compete with, and even surpass, some of the large branches like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago."
"The reason the Lake District Sub-Bureau was able to achieve such tax performance is mainly due to that Chief Tax Officer named David. He is a talent, and we should focus on cultivating him..."
"..."
Following Donald\'s remarks, some of the other senior executives also echoed his words, with quite a few even singing David\'s praises by name.
"Since we\'re on the topic of David, let\'s discuss the \'Shadowy Project.\' I\'d like to hear everyone\'s thoughts on who in our Tax Bureau system would be suitable!"
As Obadiah finished speaking, the expressions of the senior officials present changed.
But before long, one of the deputy directors directly said, "Speaking of the \'Shadowy Project,\' Brown Soros from the Manhattan Branch has been the number one since the establishment of the appraisal period. I think there\'s no one more suitable than him!"
"Indeed, in terms of contribution, he is the number one person under our black tax law so far, and in terms of ability, he is now making criminals in the Manhattan District tremble at the mere mention of his name. He is indeed the most suitable person to represent our black tax law."
