Chapter 309: Reaching an Agreement
"Then Boss, how was the talk with them this time? Was it smooth?"
Simmons asked, changing the subject.
David shook his head and said, "The three major families think highly of themselves. In their eyes, I am just a tool that can be used and profitable."
Although the conversation with the Ansa Group was not very pleasant this time, he also saw the attitude of this group of people towards him and got to know their bottom line. This trip was worth it.
"This..."
Hearing this, Nisenbaki Simmons looked at each other in surprise.
If it were someone else, they would have already been fighting for justice, but the Ansa Group is so powerful, and David is currently just a regional director. The identities of the two sides are too different, and it seems nothing strange not to take their director seriously.
"Forget it, let's rest early. We will set off back to Los Angeles tomorrow."
...
Early the next morning, David and his group returned to Los Angeles.
And at noon that day, on Senado Island, the Freemason Conference was held again.
In the meeting hall, the seven major families in charge of the Federal Reserve were all present. In addition, California Governor Borgwana, the Disney family, and members of the political and business circles also gathered here.
About five minutes later, Henrietta came to the main table with the help of the servant and said, "Tell me, how is the operation of the White House?"
After speaking, everyone looked at a man with glasses wearing a brown suit in the field. His name was Kudus. He was currently the deputy assistant to the White House president, and could also be called the White House deputy chief of staff.
As for the president's pardon of the Sackler family, the Freemasons gave him full authority to operate.
Being watched by so many people, Kudus's face also showed a trace of embarrassment, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "As soon as the W-aid bill was passed, I conveyed this matter to the president, but the president was not very willing to make this decision. I'm sorry, Mr. Henrietta..."
"Kudos, how did you tell the president? Did you convey the meaning of our group?"
Joshua Mogen questioned, obviously dissatisfied with the other party's failure to lobby the president.
"I have conveyed it completely. The president is indeed aware that this is the intention of our entire group, but he said that this matter involves the two major forces of the Ansa Group and the IRS. He dare not do it rashly and needs to think about it carefully..."
"Then how long will he think about it?"
"This... I don't know."
"Waste!"
Listening to Joshua's scolding, Kudus's face was full of grievances. Although he is a member of the Freemasons, he is just a deputy chief of staff in the White House. How dare he force the president to make a decision?
"It's only been three days since the passage of the W-aid bill. It's not realistic to expect the president to make this decision in such a short time."
Prescott, the head of the Rockefeller family, was not angry. He thought the president's refusal was normal, but then he seemed to remember something and changed the subject: "Oh, Joshua, didn't I hear that the Illuminati came to you last time? They also want to deal with David, so they should let him help, right?"
"They are afraid that David will target Bitcoin, so they said they won't do it themselves, but they can provide us with financial support for this matter."
Listening to Joshua's words, many people at the scene seemed a little disappointed.
Although the Illuminati is not as powerful as the Freemasons, if the two major forces put pressure on the White House together, the White House will be more likely to compromise.
It's a pity that the Illuminati is afraid to do it themselves, which is considered to be a lack of help.
"I think the White House's statement is not the most important thing now. The most important thing is the attitude of the Angsa Group. Now that the W Aid Act has been passed and they have received 100 billion in funds, will they still stop us from dealing with David?"
Bennett from the Disney family said this and woke up everyone present.
Borgwana seemed to remember something and looked around at everyone and said, "Oh, by the way, the Angsa Group held a celebration banquet in Washington last night. I heard that David was invited to attend. They must have had a direct dialogue. Has anyone received any news from the venue?"
"I did receive some news..."
Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was FBI Deputy Director Munoz who said this.
"I have an accurate source of information. People from the four major families went to the dinner last night and had a direct dialogue with David. Although I don't know the specific content of the dialogue, I have judged from various channels that the Angsa Group will definitely not give up David, the hen that lays golden eggs, because there are subsequent funding clauses in the W Aid Act..."
After the words fell, many people at the scene looked gloomy.
Why did they wait until the W-aid bill was passed before they took action against David?
To put it bluntly, they were afraid of the Ansa group and didn't want to break up with them.
And if the Ansa group wanted to protect David, they would have to break up with them.
"But I don't think this is the worst for us."
"Oh? Muñoz, what do you mean?"
Many people present were puzzled. If the Ansa group wanted to continue to protect David, it wouldn't be the worst. Then what would be the worst?
"In recent years, the speed of our Freemasonry expansion is too fast. We have people from the White House to Congress. Do you think that group of Ansa people have no opinions? No, they already have a lot of opinions, but they just think the same as we do now, and don't want the two sides to tear each other apart directly!"
"So what do you want to say?"
Listening to Joshua's question, Munoz replied slowly: "What I want to say is that many people among the group of Ansa people are probably aware of David's role now. For example, he can be used to weaken our strength. Do you understand?"
After these words, everyone's brain was hit hard and suddenly woke up.
Think about it from another perspective.
If Disney, Sackler, and these families are all Ansa people, would their Freemasonry be happy to see these families being messed up by David?
The answer is definitely yes.
They also hope that someone will come out to weaken the power of the Ansa people, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight to get the advantage!
And if they all have this idea, will the Ansa people not have it?
How is it possible!
They are not fools.
This group of people must also be willing to see David take action against their Freemasonry.
So, they will probably continue to protect David not only for the sake of maintaining their interests, but also for the idea of using David as a knife to pierce their own backs!
"If that's the case, then we can no longer be afraid of the Ansa Group. We must suppress David first no matter what!"
"That's right, David is just a pawn. He can't hurt us even if he turns the world upside down, but the Ansa Group can!"
"We must cut the Gordian knot quickly to prevent David from becoming bigger with the support of the Ansa Group!"
Although David has been very harmful to the entire Freemasonry Group in recent years, many people only regard him as a thorn in their eyes, and do not think that this thorn can have much lethality to them.
The Ansa Group is different.
This group of people is an opponent of equal strength to their Freemasonry Group, and there is a risk of their group's demise.
So almost everyone present believed that this Ansa man could not be allowed to support David any longer, and David must be contained as a response and warning to the Ansa man!
"Kudos, step up your lobbying of the president. Joshua, on behalf of our group, go talk to the big families of the Ansa Group to see if they are determined to continue supporting David!"
Henrietta, who had been listening, also issued instructions. Obviously, he also realized that if this matter was left unchecked, it would probably bring a huge blow to the entire group.
"The three big families of Adams, Roosevelt, and Bush are easy to talk about, but the Kennidi family... I think they must be determined to strongly support David, so..."
Joshua looked embarrassed.
The conflict between their Freemasonry and the Kennidi family is basically irreconcilable. If he were to talk to this family, there would definitely be risks, so he naturally didn't want to go.
"Don't pay attention to the Kennidi family, just talk to the three big families!"
Henrietta obviously knew that the real leaders of the Ansa Group were the three big families. As for the Kennidi family, although they still had some strength, there was no need to look at their statements.
"That's fine."
When Joshua heard that he didn't need to pay attention to the Kennidi family, he immediately agreed.
...
A week passed quietly under the undercurrent.
During this period, David came to work on time every morning to punch in, and left work on time every day.
As for what he did during working hours?
The answer is to slack off!
As for why he slack off?
The reason is actually very simple. He is putting pressure on the General Administration in disguise.
Didn't you discuss my promotion for a long time without any result? Then I will just give up.
Just like American workers, teachers, and truck drivers, once there is an unequal benefit, they will strike to protest until they get the benefits they want, and then they will go back to work.
And David is just giving up, not going on strike directly, which is already very face-saving.
But what he doesn't know is that the most anxious people who see him slacking off are not the senior executives of the IRS, but the Angsa Group.
Since the last banquet conversation was awakened, several major families have studied it carefully and came to a unified conclusion, that is, using David to weaken the strength of the Freemasons is indeed a good choice for them at present.
Seeing that David is playing badly every day, in addition to not being able to weaken the strength of the Freemasons, the key is that the follow-up funds for the W-aid Act have not been settled, and these two points are exactly the reasons for their anxiety.
"Director, the data of Binance has been transmitted. Do you want to take a look?"
Keppel walked into the office and said to David who was holding scissors and taking care of potted plants by the window.
"No need."
David didn't pay much attention to it, and was still concentrating on fishing.
"Uh... Is it the same as usual today?"
In this week, David has not dealt with a single document, so Keppel's so-called "the same as usual" is actually asking if you will continue to fish today?
"The same as usual."
"Okay."
Keppel didn't ask any more questions and turned and walked out of the office.
Just as he left, the phone on the table rang. David put the shoulder scissors aside, walked over and picked it up. It was Sean calling. He immediately picked up the phone and said, "What's up, Mr. Sean?"
"Two things. First, it's about the Sackler family's amnesty. I received news that the Freemasons are besieging this matter fiercely, and the White House is already showing signs of being unable to withstand it."
"Second, the Ansa Group has reached a consensus. They promised to continue to support you, and even promised to help you get into the General Administration, but there is a condition."
After hearing the first thing David frowned, but after hearing the second item, his expression eased a little and asked, "What are the conditions?"
"They need 200 billion additional funds for the W Aid Act. As long as you promise to provide them, they can immediately 'make efforts'!"
"Haha."
David smiled disdainfully and replied, "They said the same thing last time, but in the end, I still can't enter the General Administration."
"It's different this time, David. They will definitely fulfill their promise, and as long as they don't fulfill it, you can just 'stop'!"
David fell into thought.
The other party just asked for a promise from him, and he could make efforts immediately after he agreed. In other words, the money doesn't need to be obtained first and handed over to them, so there is no need to worry about them going back on their word.
Thinking of this, he replied: "200 billion is too much. Tell them that it is 80 billion at most. This is the bottom line that cannot be negotiated!"
"80 billion... OK, I will call you back later."
About two hours later, Sean called again and said: "They agreed to 80 billion, but there is a condition."
"What is it?"
"They require that the money must be received from the power of the Freemasonry Group."
"The calculation is really smart. OK, tell them that I agreed, so that they can 'work hard'!"
The move of the Ansa Group not only sought huge profits for itself, but also hit the strength of the Freemasonry. It is simply killing two birds with one stone, so David said that the other party's calculation was smart.
And the reason why he agreed is also very simple.
First, he has now torn with the Freemasonry, and if he wants to attack, he must first attack this group.
In addition, this group does have money in America. If you want to get twice the result with half the effort, then they are the most suitable target.
