Chapter 828: Teddy Teddy

As a means of social wealth distribution, sixty percent of the world's countries have inheritance tax or gift tax, real estate tax, the United States, France, Germany, Britain, Japan, Canada and South Korea, and well-known developed countries are included.

As a "tax on the rich" through and through, inheritance tax is usually calculated according to the total wealth/kinship ladder, with reasonable reduction and exemption policies, and generally does not affect ordinary people in the country. Whenever a rich man dies or is even seriously ill, the media will enthusiastically take stock of his family property and calculate how many billions of taxes his children need to pay.

Faced with high tax rates, the rich also have a bunch of solutions to solve it. Setting up a family trust, purchasing a large amount of life insurance, and making a power of attorney and will are all common tax avoidance tools.

However, tools are not omnipotent, and these tools have to give up part of the ownership of the property to a greater or lesser extent, which is good for stock cash, but not very good for real estate.

And cash can be invested, shares have dividends, and castle manor mansions are usually money-losing goods, unless the aristocracy is forced to do so, sit back and watch the ancestral property become a crowded hotel apartment or tourist attraction, so the European aristocracy will become poorer and poorer, in order to inherit the ancestral property and owe large loans are not uncommon.

There are two costly ultimate tricks to avoid inheritance tax, one is to donate naked to charitable foundations, and leave exercise and social platforms for future generations by giving up asset ownership, and it is up to them whether they can recover. The second is to emigrate to countries with no or less inheritance tax, such as Monaco, Sweden and Italy.

The reason why this small European country, surrounded by France on three sides, has been able to attract the attention of the wealthy in Europe and the world, making it the city with the highest housing prices and the richest people in the world, is due to the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, the Grand Casino of Monte-Carlo, and the exemption from inheritance tax (between fathers and sons, spouses) and other "highlights". This road seems simple and painless, but in fact, it is also very troublesome, firstly, not every country will actively pursue foreign businessmen, and secondly, the migration of cross-border assets is also quite troublesome.

It is said that at the beginning, the rabbit family originally planned to introduce an inheritance tax in line with international standards, and the draft was expected to be gradually advanced within a few years after the completion of the draft, but there was no follow-up when the time came, because of the special national conditions. Before the introduction of inheritance tax and property tax, the rich and middle-class elites have already fled in various ways, and if it is confirmed that the levy will be introduced, there will be no new reasons for immigration?

Of course, another reason is that since 2005, countries such as Sweden, Italy, and Austria have successively abolished inheritance taxes to attract foreign capital inflows. This trend has clearly had an impact on the country, with a combination of internal and external factors causing the long-brewing inheritance tax to fall into hamper.

Atletico and his wife are still young, and the four snacks are still just children, so naturally they will not pay too much attention to what is going on after the death, and if it were not for the bank's financial advisors actively promoting family trusts, they would not even know that there is a profession of estate planner in the world.

Of course, this also has something to do with the background of the two. In the past, it was not accessible to the common people, and it was the Internet and agriculture that came out to start a business and did the most unrich temperament, and the circle of communication was not high-end and high-grade, and the grassroots atmosphere on the body would bubble up if you were not careful.

It's okay when there are people around, but now there are only two husband and wife, so naturally they are relaxed and comfortable, and they seem more and more casual and wanton.

Chatting and chatting, they went from the rich list to the inheritance tax, and turned their heads to the topic of the rich loving science. Tang Jiayi listed a lot of deeds of wealthy people investing in life sciences, and finally concluded: "So rich people are keen to invest in life sciences, on the one hand, it sounds good to contribute to human health, on the other hand, it can also help themselves continue their lives.

"Image!" Atletico reminded, "and when you buy the TV shopping channel, it's not too late to speak in that tone." ”

The latter stopped laughing, and pointed at someone: "Please! When you say this, take care of yourself, what do you say when you slump on the sofa?"

"Rest assured that my spine is healthy and won't lie crooked," he said, Atletico still sat upright.

Tang Jiayi reached out and picked up her bag, took out a thick stack of document bags from it and slapped it on the coffee table, "Don't talk about that, your task has arrived." ”

"You're going to help my sister and sister pull up funds again?"

"Of course!" the latter nodded calmly, "the new school year is about to begin, and many people have to prepare for new topics. That's all for now, hurry up and read it!"

Atletico grabbed the top kraft paper bag, held it in his hand and said with a smile: "After so many years of paperless office, the rainforests in Brazil are still disappearing in large numbers, and they are all caused by these people!"

"And, I know that I open my eyes and tell nonsense. The rainforest disappeared because they had to pave roads and farm land to improve the environment, which they would have done without the paper industry. And isn't there someone who has always been rational and pragmatic, and who despises extreme environmentalists?

"No, I still haven't changed. It's just a pity for the waste of paper, these things are printouts, and they can be sent directly to the mailbox. ”

"Don't be ignorant, people do this to show solemnity, and handing materials in person is much more formal than sending the electronic version lightly. ”

"People respect you so much, you should take it apart and take a look," Atletico tapped on the seal of the bag, which had obviously not been touched much.

In addition to organizing various adult education activities through the Bee Foundation and the Chaoyang Foundation, as well as donating to major university education foundations, the couple often privately fund various research projects, and are very popular with young scholars.

Compared with the official agency's seniority allocation, Atletico Madrid is not easy to apply here, and the amount is not much, but it is easy to communicate, and as long as the project proposal is credible, it can impress him to get the much-needed research grant.

However, what is a little awkward is that these people hate seniority, but they don't mind using personal relationships, and often classmates, teachers, sisters, and sisters find Tang Jiayi and ask her to help submit the application. The latter can only do it for the sake of face, but there is no focus on what to recommend first, and he directly takes it back and throws it to Atletico Madrid, just like now.

"Who made you read fast and read a lot of various papers, this is called a specialization in the art industry, do you understand?"

"I understand," Atletico said, gesturing to the cardboard box beside him, "that's why I brought it back to you, also to play to your strengths." ”

"That's it?" Tang Jiayi picked up the carton again, reached out and took out a blue plastic helmet with white trim from it, looked at it for a few seconds and then checked it up and down, and said casually: "It's so heavy." ”

"Optimizing the architecture to reduce weight is a matter of the future, and there is no need to rush it now. In addition, the high weight also has the effect of increasing stability, so that the electrodes can be in good contact with the scalp. ”

"That's right," Tang Jiayi suddenly raised her head, "By the way, the new version of Dreamwalker is equipped with brain electrodes as standard, why do you need to make this helmet alone?"

Mirage has officially released the MD version of the firmware and related APIs, officially unlocking the mood detection function of Dreamwalker. In addition to the core flagship "Monkey King", there have been more than 30 games that have adopted emotional perception technology, which have been well received by players, and the sales of PTVR sets have increased a lot.

Atletico poked his head, "The reason is very simple, the requirements of the two are different. Dreamwalker only needs to measure the electrical activity of the brain, and the specifications for the EEG are very low. The helmet not only needs higher signal accuracy, but also has a safe and effective writing method, and the structure and cost gap is very large. ”

Tang Jiayi wrinkled her nose, "Alas, it's really stupid, no wonder others say that being pregnant is stupid for three years, the ancients don't deceive me!"

Atletico waved his hand to show that it didn't matter, he said a little excitedly: "Jiajia, let me tell you, the brain-computer interface technology used on this helmet was developed by your man's team, and whether you can win the Nobel Prize in the future depends on this?"

"Just you?" Tang Jiayi didn't believe it, and said disdainfully: "Don't rob your subordinates of the credit and forcibly occupy the first author, right?"

"I'm not the head of the department, why do I want to do this? This thing is really made by me, it has been ten years since the first hypnotic pad, and the war of resistance is over, and it is not surprising that it has achieved great results. ”

The German Hansberg discovered brain waves in 1929, and if you didn't have any new theories and discoveries, you wouldn't have a chance to win the Nobel Prize. People want groundbreaking research, and engineering dogs don't count on it. ”

"Whatever, if the Swedes don't give face, it's a big deal to learn from Shao Lao, and we'll win the whole prize ourselves. ”

"It's not just about having money, it's about building a good relationship with the scientific community, otherwise it's embarrassing if you announce the winners and people don't come to accept the award. So," the lady said, gesturing to the file bag in front of Atletico, "you better take the time to look at them, maybe there will be one or two future bulls among these people?"

"It's natural, I can't miss you," Atletico nodded in response, while pointing to the helmet in the other person's hand, "You also have to help me do things, and I won't suffer a loss." ”

"Also, this helmet has been specially tuned by me, and the effect is a little stronger than the prototype, which is guaranteed to surprise you!"

Tang Jiayi glanced at him, but still found the power button and activated the helmet.

Through the high-speed wireless network at home, the helmet was quickly connected to the PT civilian supercomputer at home, and according to Atletico Madrid's guidance, Tang Jiayi quickly found the so-called "brain game" area, and five games appeared in front of her: puppet war, airship war, son of the sky, water gun girl, and teddy simulation.

Switching to reality mode, she looked at Atletico Madrid, "The first few are easy to understand, what's going on with that teddy dog simulation?"

Atletico smiled, "It's the surprise, but you'd better wait until the end to play it, and the good stuff is only fun until the end." ”

"Only by believing in you can you have a ghost, and your face is full of ill intentions!"

said so, but she still focused her attention according to the prompts and opened the first puppet battle with her "mind".

The game has three modes, glasses-free, AR, and VR. There is no doubt that Tang Jiayi is now seeing VR mode, the first two are better than real and powerful, while VR can carry more content with the help of fictional images, such as a huge city full of robots in front of her, and a magnificent and magnificent arena with sci-fi colors.

Ignoring the familiar look of the robots (ported from other games), the lady picks a random pink robot and begins the Beginner Trial, which she quickly loses.

5 Quitting the game, she commented complainingly: "The control is so troublesome, and it gives me a headache." ”

Atletico ignored the complaint and asked: "Do you feel the blow?

"I don't feel it. ”

Hearing this, Atletico Madrid pointed out: "Then you should enter the Son of the Sky, the pace of this game is relatively slow, and then pay attention to the feeling on your face and chest." ”

Tang Jiayi did as she was told and entered the game again. She had already played with the child of the sky, and she chose the female angel Dorothy with a few flaps of her wings, and flew straight into the sky.

Angel Dorothy is a fictional flying creature in the game, whose ability to fly comes from her own divine powers, and her wings are only used to assist in the rudder of changing direction. However, Tang Jiayi still found the difference between the BG version and the VR version, and when her wings flapped downward, she seemed to feel a faint pulling sensation coming from her chest.

From the perspective of anatomy, if you want to fly on wings, you first need to be light enough, and secondly, you need to have well-developed pectoral muscles.

To gain lift, you either have to stretch your wings like a falcon and glide with hot air and high winds, or you can flapping your wings like a hummingbird, both of which require pectoral muscles. As a result, birds that can fly have well-developed pectoral muscles and a matching bulging sternum (keel process), while these two parts of the chicken and ostrich are already degenerate.

Humans have long noticed the significance of wings for flight, but not enough attention has been paid to the role of the pectoral muscles, so the forerunners who wore artificial wings and tried to conquer the sky failed, leaving us with only the legend of the winged man, the birdman, the little god of love Cupid, and the angels. Normal people can't fly, but fantasy creatures with abilities don't have this problem.

Obviously, the designers of Bee Game, or simply Atletico Madrid, deliberately linked fantasy wings with real pectoral muscles. At first, Tang Jiayi thought it was an illusion, but as she flew higher and higher, the very regular pulling sensation did not disappear, but there was a faint sense of wind pressure on her face and hands, which convinced her that the tactile simulation was real.

Of course, there is one last question to be confirmed. Suddenly lifting the helmet, the strange feeling disappeared in an instant, but Atletico sat on the opposite side and looked at him.

Atletico raised an eyebrow, "What? Do you think I'm blowing the wind on you?"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door of the living room, the next content was rather strange, in order to prevent her from going berserk and hurting people, it was better to hide away.

Tang Jiayi glared at him, rebuttoned her helmet, and went directly into the teddy simulation.

Then the lady's face turned red.
