Chapter 464: New Materials
"Hehe, it's true that you say that, but it doesn't matter, the one next door to me seems to say that it plans to immigrate to the UK after a while, and it is estimated that the house will be sold, so I simply bought it all at once, and then the two opened up, and it was a big villa." Lu Chengfeng is rich, and he has much confidence when he speaks.
"Do Americans also emigrate?" Gaucy asked in surprise, he had always thought that only foreigners had immigrated to the United States, and he really had never thought that anyone would immigrate from the United States.
"That's not nonsense. Over the past five years, a cumbersome tax system and heavy tax burdens have led to a large number of Americans choosing to renounce their US citizenship and immigrate to the UK instead. A friend of mine works in London, he is an American immigration lawyer, and his name is Susan. McFadden, he said: 'The number of people who have renounced their American citizenship is really increasing. In the last few years, this population has roughly tripled, and I get about 20 or more customers a year...... The U.S. Embassy in the United Kingdom handled the matter, and there were long queues for those who had made appointments to renounce their citizenship...... We have heard that the embassy has also recruited new staff for this purpose. According to the 2011 census, about 177,000 people were born in the United States among the residents of England and Wales. ”
"It is understood that the tax system is a major reason why most Americans emigrate overseas. The U.S. government requires U.S. citizens to pay taxes on all income from domestic or foreign sources. U.S. citizens who sell property in the UK are subject to capital gains tax to the U.S. government, but the U.K. government does not have this tax. ”
"Is it to avoid taxes? It seems that the reasons for this immigration are not quite the same, do you say that I will also choose to immigrate in the future, the United States is really a bit heavy on taxes. ”
"Do you still use immigration? You're a rich man, you don't care about that tax, most of the immigrants are middle-class, rich people like you. There is a reasonable way to avoid taxes, and if you ask Old Tom for advice in the future, he will tell you. ”
As Lu Chengfeng spoke, he brought Gao Xi into the house.
When he entered the house, Gao Xi found that this Lu Chengfeng was also a strange thing. On the outside, it obviously has a Dutch atmosphere, but inside the house, it is full of Chinese style.
I don't know where he got the wooden sofas and chairs, even the floors and ceilings are in the colors that the Chinese like, and even the floor looks like blue and white porcelain, which is particularly beautiful.
The paintings on the walls are not the oil paintings that Westerners like, but Chinese paintings and calligraphy, and even a portrait of Mr. Mao.
"I said buddy, what are you doing with the portrait of Mr. Hair?"
"In my eyes, buddy. Mr. Mao is more useful than any immortal, so I should worship immortals. Leave it alone, go, come into the house with me, I've got your room ready for you. ”
"What do you think you're busy with, I'm just here for a day or two, and then I'm going to Los Angeles."
As he was talking, an old man came down the stairs. With a smile on his face, he looked happy. It is somewhat similar to Lu Chengfeng.
"Hello Auntie." Gao Xi hurriedly greeted.
"Oh, this is not Xiao Zhang, I know, I know. I heard Chengfeng say that he can make money this time, thanks to your help, you are good friends. It's a good classmate again, and I'm going to help this kid more in the future, Chengfeng This kid is naturally more wooden, and if he can't do things alone, he knows how to study technology. ”
"Auntie, you said that. Lu Chengfeng is in our class, that is the smartest one, you seem to have something, go get busy first, I'll talk to Chengfeng. ”
"Okay, you talk, I won't bother, I'll stew some chicken soup for my daughter-in-law."
After Lu Chengfeng's mother left, he took Gao Xi to the upstairs room and opened the door of a bedroom, this room is not small, one person lives, about 20 square meters, the configuration inside is relatively simple, it is a beautiful single bed, a computer desk, and then a sofa, and the wall is wallpaper similar to the effect of Chinese painting, which looks very good.
The room has its own bathroom, but there is nothing to use, this is what Gao Xi told before, because Gao Xi takes his own set wherever he goes, and uses other people's toothbrushes and toothpaste, even if he has not used it, it may not be suitable for him, and the toothpaste and toothbrush he chooses are for his own teeth.
When he arrived at the room, Lu Chengfeng sat on the bed, which was covered with brand new sheets, very flat, obviously just tidied up.
"I said Xiao Luzi, shouldn't your master give me that drink or something, why did you sit there and don't want to move?" Seeing Lu Chengfeng sitting there, Gao Xi said with a smile.
"I almost forgot, you drink fruit beer, right?" Lu Chengfeng asked.
"Drink."
"Okay, I'll bring it up for you, the living room is full of people, it's too messy, let's talk here for a while, I'll steal a little leisure, otherwise I'll be noisy to death." Lu Chengfeng got up and went downstairs, and when he came up, he not only took a bunch of fruit beer, but also took a lot of fried food, as well as melons and fruits.
"Alas, I haven't enjoyed it well these days, but fortunately, it's Brother Xi that you're here, I'm liberated, come, let's have a good chat with the two brothers, cheers." Lu Chengfeng was not polite, put the things on the computer desk, and ate them first.
Gao Xi shook his head helplessly, and also went over to open a bottle of fruit beer, then took a sip, took a chicken leg and nibbled on it.
"By the way, Brother Xi, I went to your house last time to pick up the dog, and I heard Kent say that there are a lot of cattle on your pasture, and it costs a lot of money to get so many cows, right?"
Gao Xi swallowed the contents of his mouth, and then said: "It is indeed a lot of money, but if everything goes well, then it will naturally make a lot of money in the future, and it has also recruited a lot of workers, all of whom are not cowboys, but some professionals, the one named Saiwen helped me recruit." If you like to eat beef, feel free to come to my place and get it for you, San Francisco is not far from me anyway. ”
Lu Chengfeng said with a smile: "I have a hunch, you kid will definitely make a lot of money, maybe the three tourist ranches will be in your pocket in the future, you kid, it doesn't look good, but the ambition is not small." I used to say that you are not suitable for business, but now it seems that I am slapping myself in the face, and you can not only do business, but also do better than me. ”
"It's blown over, what kind of business am I, but it's just luck, do you think I'm in charge of anything now? I don't care! Because I know I can't do that, I'm not a professional. You are different, you have the technology, you will be a company in the future, then the designation will be very good, others want me to invest in me and I don't do it, I'm afraid that the stall is too big to pull the eggs, but you are different, if you want to do it, lack of money to find me, I invest. Because I'm very optimistic about you, how about one of us use technology to invest in shares, and the other to use money to invest in shares? "Gao Xi doesn't just want to help Lu Chengfeng, but mainly he really thinks that Lu Chengfeng can do it, if you invest in Lu Chengfeng, you can probably make money, which is absolutely true.
When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he wiped his mouth and said: "Brother Xi, this is what you said, don't admit it when the time comes, I have also thought about it, I happen to have a patent in hand, and I was originally going to transfer it, because I was still doing things in other people's companies at that time, and it was not good to do it myself, but now that I have resigned, the whole person has been released, if this thing is done well, it is estimated that it can stab Microsoft, Apple and Google hard." ”
"Hahaha, I said you were humble before, why did you start bragging now? You are really good at stabbing people, now these three companies are popular companies in the United States, it is already very good if you can stab one of the companies, and stab three? Someone has to believe it. Gao Xi didn't believe Lu Chengfeng's statement anyway.
"That's why I said it was a stabbing knife, not killing them, after all, I don't have the strength to kill them, but I'm still a little sure of stabbing a knife." Lu Chengfeng said with a smile.
Gao Xi began to believe it a little, because Lu Chengfeng has never lied, and since he said so, he should probably be able to do it.
was about to praise two sentences, but this guy suddenly withered again, took a big sip of wine, sighed and said: "Alas, the only big problem now is that there is a lack of things, a lack of a new material, in order to maximize the function of my product, otherwise, it will be a joke." ”
"What are you going to do if you said it, but what are you going to do?" Gao Xi couldn't help but ask.
"I can't say that, I can do it without this material, but the effect may not be too good, after all, the cost is too high, I'm afraid it will not be very convenient to promote, but if there is this new material, after the cost is reduced, it will be different." Lu Chengfeng took another sip of wine, and then said, "Have you ever heard of virtual reality?" ”
"Nonsense, isn't our favorite online game novel in the past a virtual reality novel? And now this thing seems to be very hot, what VR, it feels like it's cheating money. Although Gao Xi is very eager for virtual reality, after all, playing games like that is really enjoyable.
"I don't know if others are cheating money, but I'm definitely not cheating money, once this thing comes out, it will definitely shock the world, alas, but in the end, it's still a cost control problem, if there is no new material, it can only be promoted on a small scale." Lu Chengfeng was excited for a while, and depressed for a while, seeing that Gao Xi was bored in his heart, this guy estimated that he was quite conflicted.
But suddenly, Gao Xi had an idea in his heart, since his space can use aura to create trees and animals, can he create new materials, or how to make new materials?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little excited, so he said to Lu Chengfeng: "You better work this matter first, and I will also help you ask your friends who are engaged in material science, maybe it is really possible to create new materials." (To be continued.) )
