CHAPTER 770: CHAPTER 752: CHANGE OR DIE! (PART 3)

"If you still don’t understand how powerful the IRS is, just compare it to the Jinyi Guard at the peak of the Ming Dynasty. There’s even a saying among the people: ’Better to confront Batman than provoke the IRS.’

When the netizens heard the news, they were so excited that their scalps tingled and their bodies trembled. They all shouted ’Bring it on,’ planning to fight the trolls until dawn.

Over the years, the deterrent power of the IRS has deeply penetrated public awareness.

There are those who dare to challenge the authority of the IRS, but they are generally not very large in scale and are not well-known.

Firstly, major groups have colluded with the IRS. Secondly, major groups are not clean themselves, easily losing a lot for a little.

For a group as large as Tianxing Finance and a person as influential as Lu Liang to publicly declare a tough stand against the IRS is truly unprecedented.

The news caused a worldwide uproar.

After all, the East Country region is not under the long-arm jurisdiction of the United States, so their understanding of the IRS’s authority is largely hearsay. In contrast, they have firsthand experience and are very aware of the IRS’s authority.

Lu Liang’s decision to confront the IRS, how could it not move them?

After the press conference ended, Delimei Commercial Investment Bank, which was not well-known, became famous overnight worldwide.

If it’s selected by the IRS, it must be of excellent quality.

As long as Delimei survives this crisis, it will undoubtedly become the preferred savings bank for the world’s wealthy.

After all, to protect customer information worth only $3.5 billion, they had $50 billion completely frozen.

This level of confidentiality is exactly what they need.

The relevant news is still fermenting and quickly reached the front pages of newspapers worldwide.

Lu Liang walked out of the news broadcast room and answered a call from Wilson: "Lu, you were too impulsive."

Wilson had a headache. He kept telling Lu Liang to wait, that they would find a way to solve this problem.

At the time, Lu Liang agreed entirely, yet he turned around and made big news.

He even hired the most powerful legal team in North America to sue the IRS, managing to offend them deeply.

If it weren’t for JPMorgan facing the pressure of the Q3 report, Wilson really wouldn’t want to deal with Lu Liang.

Ever since meeting him, nothing good has happened, only a pile of troubles, losing money, and mental exhaustion.

"I told you in advance, didn’t I?" Lu Liang smiled.

"What did you say?" Wilson asked.

"That we would come up with our own solution."

"..."

Wilson was speechless, suddenly asking tentatively, "Did Harris give you the idea?"

Lu Liang chuckled, "It’s a good idea, all procedures are proper, I think we have no reason to lose the lawsuit."

Wilson sighed, "Have you thought about how Delimei will develop if you offend the IRS?"

"Normal development. I always believe that America is the freest market in the world." Lu Liang smiled lightly.

Wilson was silent for a long while, then sighed, "I’ve passed on the message. In the future, no one on Wall Street will dare to cooperate with you."

"Kamon, let me be frank. Do you think I still need to cooperate with others now?" Lu Liang’s smile faded.

Tianxing Finance initiated a $300 billion ABS, and his intentions have already been made public.

Centered on Xiangjiang, radiating through East Asia.

Challenging HSBC now, just like challenging Wall Street.

Now that Tianxing Financial Group has begun to take shape, Delimei can be sacrificed.

Its sacrifice might be more valuable than staying alive.

Just like making a movie or novel a classic, the best way is a global ban.

The silence lasted even longer for Wilson: "Have you thought about the consequences of failure? Haven’t you considered leaving yourself a way out?"

"Kamon, you’re playing dumb again. Do you really not pay attention or care about what I’m doing here in Xiangjiang?"

Lu Liang shook his head and sighed, word by word: "You’re the ones with no way out. If you don’t change, you’ll die!"

His backup plans are numerous, comfortably settling in Xiangjiang, whether developing finance or retreating to the mainland to develop new energy.

In contrast, the Wall Street institutions will often face hunger, inevitably leading to a situation of mutual destruction.

"Dogs, when cornered, will jump over the wall. When pushed to the limit, they’ll do anything." Wilson sighed deeply.

"What would they do?" Lu Liang’s brow furrowed, suddenly feeling a shiver in his heart, instinctively feeling it wasn’t a threat but a well-intended warning.

Wilson shook his head and said, "You should also know my current situation; I’ve long been excluded from the core circle."

Lu Liang was silent for a long time: "Thank you."
