New York, 24 July 1982.

Li Hua was wandering around New York's Chinatown at this time, and after three months, he has now adapted to the environment and life here.

Li Hua didn't expect that he would travel to New York in 1982.

At first, Li Hua was completely confused, and then gradually got used to it.

Li Hua soon came to his laundry and was ready to come over to help.

In recent years, the U.S. economy has been in a far from optimistic shape, with inflation, recession, and a skyrocketing unemployment rate.

And Li Hua's parents lost their jobs one after another the year before last.

Fortunately, the Chinese have an advantage that is inherited in the bloodline, that is, they like to save money.

Although Li Hua's parents are first-generation immigrants, they still have some savings in their hands after so many years of hard work and hard work.

So last year, Li Hua's parents chose to open a laundry shop to make ends meet, when they had never found a job.

"Mom, Dad." Li Hua shouted when he entered the door, ready to ask if there was anything that could help.

However, Li Hua didn't hear a response, and looked at his parents at the counter in some surprise.

At this time, Li Chengping and Luo Yun both sat there with sad faces, as if they hadn't heard Li Hua's voice.

Li Hua walked over and made some movements, which made the two wake up.

And when they saw that it was their son, the two hurriedly put away a document in their hands.

Li Hua asked curiously, "Dad, Mom, what do you think?" So distracted? ”

Luo Yun hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, by the way, why are you here?" ”

Li Hua said: "I'll come over to help, Mom, don't change the topic, what's wrong with you?" What do you think about so distracted? ”

Li Hua naturally felt that something was wrong with his parents, and at the same time looked in the direction of what his father had just hidden.

Li Chengping hurriedly covered up: "It's nothing, didn't your mother say it, I'm a little tired." ”

"There's nothing going on here, you go play with yours, do you still have any money in your hands? If not, I'll give you a little more. ”

As he spoke, he was going to give some money to Li Hua.

Li Hua deliberately showed an unhappy look, "Dad, I'm eighteen years old this year, I'm already an adult, I'm not a child, what's going on at home, and you still want to hide it from me?" ”

said with a deliberately shocked expression, "Are you going to get divorced?" ”

When Luo Yun heard her son's words, she immediately said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense, don't guess like you kid, I have a good relationship with your father." ”

Of course, Li Hua knew that his parents' relationship was very good, and he asked this just now purely to let his parents tell what he was hiding.

"Then what else do you need to hide from me?" Li Hua asked.

Li Chengping was helpless, "Hey, forget it, tell you." ”

As he spoke, he handed the hidden thing to Li Hua, Li Hua glanced at it, and then wondered: "Court summons?" Who's going to sue us? ”

Li Chengping said with a sad face: "It's the IRS that wants to sue us." ”

Luo Yun also sighed, "What do you call this, you can do such a thing if you do business well." ”

Li Hua seemed to understand something, "You evaded taxes?" ”

It is said that there are two things that can never be avoided in the United States, and that is death and taxes.

The IRS wants to sue Li Chengping, basically because of tax issues.

Luo Yun said helplessly: "No, we won't evade taxes." ”

"What's the reason for that?" Li Hua asked.

Immediately, Li Chengping told him about the matter, and Li Hua understood what was going on.

It turned out that Li Chengping and Luo Yun counted some of the expenses in the family on the head of the laundry and counted them as business expenses.

Not only did the IRS issue a $30,000 fine for gross negligence, but it also took them to court.

It's really hard to hide from the IRS about these things.

However, there are many such things in the United States, and under normal circumstances, you only need to fill out the tax application again, and there is basically no big problem.

But I'm afraid of meeting some people who deliberately make things difficult, and Chinese people are a vulnerable group in the United States, so it is normal to encounter such a deliberately difficult thing.

If Li Chengping's situation is replaced by a white American, maybe the situation will be a little different.

But at this point in the career, I can only find a way to solve the problem.

In addition, Li Hua also heard other things from his parents' mouths.

"Dad, will they choose to withdraw the lawsuit after we pay the fine?" Li Hua asked.

The fundamental purpose of the IRS is to get people to pay their taxes, and nothing else.

"I asked someone to ask, and that's pretty much what it meant, but ...... Ay! Li Chengping sighed, 30,000 US dollars, this is an astronomical amount for their family!

Not to mention now, even their family couldn't take it out before.

Now they have no money, they lost their jobs before, and the opening of this laundry has swept away all their savings.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, since the incident has happened, then let's solve the matter." Li Hua comforted.

Li Chengping cheered up and said, "Well, I and your mother will find a way to solve the matter, you don't have to worry." ”

He didn't want his son to worry about it.

Luo Yun also said on the side: "Yes, this is my business with your father, and it's a big deal that let's take out the laundry, anyway, it's to make some hard money." ”

That being said, but even if the laundry is taken out, it is estimated that it will not be enough to pay such a large fine!

Li Hua knew his parents' thoughts and understood that he didn't want to worry about him, so he didn't say anything, but he was already thinking about how to make money in his heart.

After helping out in the store for a while, he was kicked out by his parents and asked him to go out for a walk.

Li Hua saw that the store was not very busy, so he simply did not continue to stay in the store.

Walking on the road, Li Hua was also a little worried, thinking about how to make money.

This is a matter of the family, and naturally it is also a matter of Li Hua, and he also needs to share the worries of the family.

Although he has a lot of ways to make money in his head, the easiest is to invest in some stocks he knows, but he has no money.

Li Hua rummaged through his pockets, only less than ten dollars, how to invest this money.

And most of what he knows is some high-tech Internet information, but these will not really explode until 90 years later.

Even Microsoft hasn't hit the market yet.

Of course, the main thing now is that there is no money, no capital.

Just when Li Hua was worried about how to make money, he suddenly heard the conversation between the two teenagers on the side.

"The game is like shit now, it's so boring."

"No, you're wrong, they're not even shit."

"A bunch of crooks, it's just disappointing, and they don't want to play the game anymore."

Listening to their conversation, Li Hua could clearly feel their anger, but Li Hua seemed to think of something, and his eyes became brighter and brighter!

He seems to have found a way to make money!
