Chapter 254: The Mysterious Freemasonry Meeting_4
When it comes to business acumen, she naturally doesn't compare with any of you here.
But if we're talking about the sharpness in sensing problems, her decades in politics naturally give her an edge over many seated here.
"Who are you?"
Indeed, his question had struck a nerve with many in the room, as numerous people glared at her dissatisfied.
"This is Florence, the adviser to the Disney Family."
Hearing Bennett's introduction, a member of Freemasonry then asked, "Miss Florence, what do you mean by that?"
"Nothing else, just trying to make you realize the seriousness of the situation. With David's way of doing things, if he dares to charge into an Indian Tribe with armed forces to collect taxes, then if he finds out you have been evading taxes, it's not unlikely that he would dare to lay hands on you."
"And another thing, if you stand by today and watch Disney being sanctioned by him, once he actually succeeds, their higher-ups, seeing the massive profits involved, may very well disregard any agreement you had with their former chiefs decades ago."
"You are all businessmen, you should be clear that profit can drive people's desires to do anything!"
To tell the truth, despite Florence's seemingly definitive words, she herself didn't quite believe that David would dare to take on the Freemasonry Group.
She was merely exaggerating to get these people to act and help Disney through this difficult time.
But it must be said, under her exaggeration, quite a number of the Freemasonry members in attendance were indeed wavering.
Your next journey awaits at empire
After all, there's a saying in the theory of capital.
With a profit of 50%, capital will take risks; with 100%, it will trample over all human laws.
With 300% profit, capital will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of hanging!
Now, David has squeezed just short of 10 billion dollars from the major Hollywood movie companies, and it's said that the Washington D.C. Headquarters and the White House are grinning from ear to ear.
If he manages to deal with Disney, leading to the surrender of the rest of Hollywood's big and small film companies, how much tax revenue would that generate?
With such huge profits at stake, who could guarantee that the high-level officials at the Washington D.C. Headquarters would not be blinded and plan to extort them?
This is something to consider.
"Oh, and there's one more thing. I don't know if you've noticed, but many people online now think David is overqualified for Hollywood and should be moved to Wall Street and Silicon Valley. If he really goes there, what do you think will happen then?"
Florence added more fuel to the fire.
And with that, many Freemasonry members who were only slightly worried couldn't sit still anymore.
David is currently just in the Western Suburbs, but he has already turned Hollywood upside down. If he really goes to places like Wall Street and Silicon Valley, even if David himself didn't want to meddle, with so many people fanning the flames, he might be compelled to do so.
Would they then have any peace?
"So you see, you should give up on any other illusions. Now that Disney is taking the lightning strike for you, once he's done with Disney, I can assure you, he will definitely make his move against you."
"Mind you, Disney is nothing more than a small company in front of many of you here. If he deals with some among you, imagine how much in taxes could be recovered. Do you think the top brass at the IRS wouldn't be tempted?"
"You Freemasons, Freemasonry, Freemasonry, from a certain perspective, can also be seen as all being in the same boat. At this critical juncture, you shouldn't just ignore Disney, helping them might also be helping yourselves!"
Florence continued with another round of incisive persuasion.
