American Tax Officer-Chapter 813 - 407: Creating a Stock Market Crash_2

David is currently announcing a tax audit on Wall Street, right? Once the stock market crash happens, everyone will think it was his actions that caused the panic on Wall Street, leading to the market collapse. Now, who else would bear that blame if not him?

"Selling shares of our major companies... wouldn't that mean even greater losses for us?"

"Yes, the tax evasion legislation pushed by the Internal Revenue Service had already dealt us a severe blow; if we sell shares now, won't our losses skyrocket?"

"Soros, I don't think this is in our best interest, and we've discussed this before. It shouldn't be brought up again!"

In fact, seeing the legislation irreversible, the members of Freemasonry had considered giving up completely, just like they previously treated MediaCorp, directly destroying it, so that even if the IRS's bill passed, they wouldn't collect much tax.

But, after deliberating for a long period, they still couldn't bring themselves to make such a decision.

They knew, after all, the corporations they controlled were cash cows they depended on.

As many had mentioned, the introduction of this offshore tax evasion legislation was already painful enough for them.

At this critical juncture, selling shares and destroying their own companies would be too costly for them to bear.

Currently, the stock market may be tumultuous, but as long as there's no external interference, it should settle down soon.

These companies they controlled would continue to bring them immense benefits. Facing such vast profits, not everyone had the courage to make drastic sacrifices!

"Gentlemen, don't be shortsighted. Selling shares in major companies would indeed hurt your interests, but let's remember the offshore tax evasion legislation has now extended to our foundations, which is intolerable!"

"So, my proposal to sell shares and provoke market panic, to even cause a stock market crash, is essentially from the Huaxian art of war, 'Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao'!"

"Think about it, if this crisis causes the stock market to collapse, who will pay the highest price?"

At this point, Soros paused, looking at the thoughtful crowd, then forcefully declared, "Of course, it's the Internal Revenue Service and him, David!"

"They initially thought they could use this bill to gather funds to stimulate America's market, along with providing various benefits to the people!"

"If the stock market does crash, all their plans will vanish into thin air, and then their so-called supporters will undoubtedly turn their guns on them!"

"After all, people care only about their own interests, not about David or the IRS or whatever!"

Hearing this, the Freemasonry members who were initially dissatisfied with selling shares began to waver.

Because Soros's words made a lot of sense.

During this time, they had been unable to find a deadly blow to strike at the IRS.

But now, the situation in the stock market indeed presented a good opportunity.

If the market really did collapse, perhaps many insightful people would blame them for deliberately causing a stock market crash.

But more blame would certainly focus on the IRS and David.

After all, if the IRS hadn't launched this so-called offshore tax evasion legislation, and if they hadn't conducted such a high-profile tax audit on Wall Street, the economic situation in America might be tough, but people wouldn't be going hungry.

But due to this legislation from the IRS, that's what caused the market to collapse.

This blame is yours to carry, no matter what!

"Back in the 1930s, during the Great Depression, our ancestors preferred to dump milk rather than lower the price or distribute it to the poor. Why did they do that?"

Just as everyone was contemplating the feasibility of Soros's plan, Henrietta, who had been silent, spoke up.

Everyone turned their attention to him, eager to see what he might say.

"Because once the price is lowered or shared with the poor, the market for milk would lose its balance, and the value of milk would be depreciated. And today, the same principle applies!"

"We might have temporarily lost to the IRS's offshore tax evasion laws, but we can't lose on the matter of the foundations. Otherwise, the legacies of our great families built over so many years would be drained!"

"And now Soros's idea compels us to sell off the major companies' shares," although it resembles the ancestors' practice of dumping milk, it might secure our huge benefits in the future."

"Perhaps it will also put pressure on David, forcing him to leave Wall Street and to abandon the foundation's investigation, so I believe, we should do this!"

In fact, after the implementation of the tax evasion law, Henrietta had been eager to carry out this idea as a way to retaliate against the Internal Revenue Service.

However, too many members were unable to let go of their interests, and it was difficult for him to propose this alone.

But now things were different, since David had come to Wall Street and set his sights on their foundation, whether it was for revenge or to force David out of Wall Street, they had to do it!

In fact, those present had already been persuaded by Soros, and now with Henrietta's support, everyone naturally had fewer concerns.

"Good, I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"As Mr. Henrietta stated, 'dumping milk' is to protect our future interests and to force David out of Wall Street, I agree too!"

"..."

The members of the Freemasonry were determined to follow Soros's method.

But at that moment, Soros spoke up, "Gentlemen, wait a moment, don't rush!"

"Soros, didn't you tell us to sell the shares and create a stock market crash? What does this mean now?"

Everyone felt a bit confused and looked at Soros with perplexed eyes.

"Do you think that David hasn't considered the fluctuations in the stock market after the law's implementation? Haven't thought that we might manipulate it further? Even if he hasn't, do you think the elites at the Internal Revenue Service are just sitting idle?"

"They've certainly thought of it, and they must have already devised a plan concerning the stock market. Let's not rush and instead plan carefully. However, there is one more urgent matter now, which is to inform the Illuminati and the Angsa people about our plan. With them joining, our chances of success will be even greater!"

"So that's it, then we really can't hurry!"

"What are we waiting for, contact them immediately!"

"..."

...

Caribbean Sea, Illuminati Island.

By this time, the members of the Illuminati were already informed about the Freemasonry's plan. Augustine, having explained it to the members, asked, "What do you all think about Freemasonry's plan?"

"Selling off shares to create a stock market crash might bring us significant losses, however, if it could force David to leave Wall Street and stop investigating the foundation, then it would be worth it!"

"Exactly, I agree with this plan!"

"Agreed!"

"..."

Inside the Illuminati, many also had family trusts and foundations, and naturally feared that if David tore open this hole, it would spell doom for all. Thus, with no other options, they reluctantly agreed to this plan.

"If that's the case, then good, reply to the Freemasonry, say that we, the Illuminati, agree to this plan!"

...

At the same time, having received the message, Ansa Group also convened a meeting.

After a discussion, they too felt that currently, this was the only way to force David to back down, and thus they quickly responded back to the Freemasonry, indicating their agreement to the plan.

Thus, a man-made stock market crash plan quietly began its course.
