Nuke Miko: Chronicles of America
Page 88
Looking at the dazzling array of wine bottles and colorful cocktail photos on the wine cabinet, she couldn't help being dazzled for a while...
However, she just pointed to a glass of beautifully colored [Blue Hawaiian], before she could speak, she was interrupted by Freya again.
"...Dear little Japanese girl, don't forget that you are still underage, at least you can't drink in public! There are reporters here!
Today's party is just getting started, you need something refreshing, BOY!Have a special coffee! "
Freya said it like an old lady, as if she had assumed the role of Megumi Akiyama's manager.
The bartender behind the bar sighed, but resignedly turned up the coffee machine in the corner of the counter, made a cup of steaming, fragrant espresso black coffee, then served it with sugar and milk, and finally put the bone china filled with coffee The cup, together with the saucer underneath, was placed by Qiu Shanhui's hand.
Akiyama Megumi pouted slightly dissatisfied, picked up the cup of special coffee, and took a sip.
Uh……
It's hard to say.
how to say?The sugar content is off the charts!
The feeling can be completely defined as: sugar water with milk and coffee flavor, and it is also the kind with high concentration and supersaturation...
Hey, the American people's love for sugar is really hopeless!
Akiyama Hui shook his head helplessly, put some ice cubes into the cup of coffee-flavored sugar water, to slightly dilute its excessive sweetness.
At the same time, Megumi Akiyama talked with Freya for a while. After the establishment of the Inari Shrine, how should the business diversify, so that the channel sinks, thousands of people face thousands of people, accurately slice the blue ocean players in the market, and strive to create their own private domain traffic, etc...
It wasn't until Freya was called out by a phone call that she turned around and looked quietly at the resplendent hall, where there were three or five celebrities and gentlemen chatting together. Hidden front, even the communication with a knife in the eyes, can't help but feel a little emotional:
This is Vanity Fair!
Greed, calculations, pitfalls, ruthlessness, and intrigues are the same here as the celebrity hangouts in Los Angeles.
At most, the theme has changed from film and television media to the Internet and high-tech, but the driving core and underlying logic are still the same.
It is even crueler and more intense than the Hollywood Vanity Fair in Los Angeles - the trendsetters here are rich people at the Forbes level!
If those so-called predators in Hollywood were placed in Silicon Valley, in terms of financial resources and resources, I am afraid they are nothing more than small shrimps.
Even so, there are still countless people rushing here from all over the world to start a life-and-death game—this is the power of capital!
In fact, even if she is a superpower possessed by a fox god, why didn't she sharpen her head and go to Vanity Fair?
It's just that the game field she chose for herself was not in San Francisco, but in another city in California.
I wonder what the Vanity Fair of Sacramento, a "small city" with 50 people, looks like?
Will it be more rustic?But I'm afraid there will be no gentleman's style, right?
After all, as the underlying logic of this "free" country, the successful people in the United States are by no means good people, but a group of terrible people who plunder, deceive, rob, kill, and do all kinds of evil.Their lofty status comes not from chivalry, but from ferocity and ruthlessness.
If you are a modest gentleman in Vanity Fair, it is tantamount to being sentenced to death...
So, if you want to succeed, you have to be ruthless!
You can't just be ruthless to yourself, you must be even more ruthless to others!
Akiyama Hui thought so, and at the same time couldn't help humming a song softly.
"...I have a beautiful wish to be able to sow the sun when I grow up!
Sow one seed, one is enough, and there will be many, many suns!
One for the Antarctic, one for the Arctic Ocean!
One hangs in, hangs in winter, and one hangs in the evening!Hang on at night!
La la la, plant the sun!La la la, plant the sun!La la la la, la la la la, plant the sun!
By that time, every corner of the world will become warmer and brighter..."
The others probably didn't understand Chinese, so they didn't respond. Instead, they applauded and praised Qiu Shanhui's singing voice, but "Flying Noodles" Chen Qiuhan, who came to the party with him, naturally understood it, and heard that he was full of goosebumps. pimple.
"...well, the song is a good song, but the problem is getting it out of your mouth..."
Chen Qiuhan came over with a glass of rum, and said to Qiu Shanhui, "...Why does it make me feel a little scary?"
"...It doesn't matter. When I [plant the sun] grow more in the future, everyone will feel natural."
Megumi Akiyama, the nuke witch, said carelessly, "...I'm going to translate and rewrite this song as the character song of [Tritium].
By the way, why haven't you found a female partner yet?Didn't you dream about cuddling at parties? "
She looked at the dazzling Hollywood actresses and models on the dance floor not far away, and then looked back at Chen Qiuhan, who was still alone with a melancholy expression beside her, "... Could it be that you are so picky about so many women?" Among the stars, there is no one you can look up to?"
"... I really want to have a wonderful encounter with a certain Hollywood actress... It's a pity that no one cares about me!"
Chen Qiuhan sighed, and said desolately, "...You can't be cheeky and strike up a conversation, right? I still can't get over my face."
"... Huh? No way? They actually put you, the flying noodle god, aside?"
Akiyama Hui couldn't help but widen his eyes, "...you didn't do anything bad, did you? Why are you suddenly unpopular?"
——As the God of Flying Noodles, Chen Qiuhan, who is also backed by God, has enjoyed the scenery in the past few days. Although generally speaking, it is far inferior to Akiyama Megumi, the nuke girl who shocked the world, but at least she is also a top Internet celebrity level treatment.
On Catalina Island before, quite a few socialites winked at him.
Later, in Beverly Hills and Disneyland, enthusiastic female reporters also joined him.
Why is it that now in San Francisco, he has suddenly become a little transparent that no one cares about?
"...Don't you know?" Chen Qiuhan glanced at her with a strange expression, and asked back without beginning or end.
"...Don't know what?" Akiyama Hui was really at a loss.
"...how should I put it? This little Chinese boy is no longer the only FSM Master voter! He now has more than two dozen peers!"
The Russian girl Sonia sitting next to her covered her mouth with a smile, took out her smartphone from her handbag, logged on to the Internet, called up the news page, and explained brilliantly to Megumi Akiyama, "...in short, he has depreciated!"
Chapter 145: Flying Noodle Gods Come Together
As the saying goes, things are precious.
Conversely, as long as anything is in excess, it becomes worthless.
When Qiuhan Chen is the only "Flying Noodle God of Choice" in this world, even though he comes from that imaginary enemy country on the other side of the ocean, and even though his skin color and ethnicity are the same as original sin in American society, the American officials still can't help it. Don't hold your nose to treat him, flatter him.
However, as a universal religion born and raised in the United States, how could it be possible for the Flying Noodle God to always "only favor" Chen Qiuhan, a foreigner?
So, just today, in cities such as San Francisco, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Denver in the western United States, as well as Tijuana in Mexico, some people suddenly claimed that they had received the favor of the Fame God, and uploaded videos to Network, to show their abilities.
Among them, in San Francisco alone, there are ten people who have become the "Flying Noodles God of Choice"!
Together with other cities in the United States and Mexico, the total number of "Flying Noodles" in this world has exceeded 30!
In this way, as the "Flying Noodles God's Choice" blossomed everywhere in an instant, Chen Qiuhan's "attraction value" naturally shrank significantly.
Considering his skin color and nationality, as well as the deteriorating relationship between China and the United States, it is not surprising that he received a cold reception at the party.
——It is obviously an American god, and American religion, how can a foreigner be allowed to be the leader?
Is it because he was the first to be favored by the Flying Spaghetti God?But compared with others, this lucky guy is only a few days earlier!
Based on the above considerations, once Chen Qiuhan loses the title of "the only voter", it is impossible for Chen Qiuhan to convince the crowd in the FSM Cult.
From today onwards, it has become a foregone conclusion that Chen Qiuhan, the "pioneer", will be excluded and marginalized in the FSM Cult.
Of course, Chen Qiuhan was well aware of this, so even though she was treated as air, she didn't make fun of herself and flirted with those female stars with the cheek.
It's just that the sharp contrast between the front and the back, and the depression brought about by it, eventually accumulated in his heart, which made his face very ugly.
"...Hey, Brother Chen, I generally understand your situation, and I can understand your mood.
But you can't drink too much at a party either!Look at your mouth full of alcohol, how much have you been drinking?
As the saying goes, it's even worse to drink away your sorrows... let's drink a healthy drink! "
Beside the bar, Megumi Akiyama patted Chen Qiuhan on the shoulder, said comfortingly, and at the same time asked the bartender for a glass of green and red stuff, "...this is the most popular health formula for Hollywood female stars, and many top female stars have given it The video recommended it, why don't you try it?"
After receiving the drink from Akiyama Kei, Chen Qiuhan frowned and took a sip, almost spitting out, "...Whoa, what the hell is this!"
"...fruit and vegetable juice!" Akiyama Hui replied with a smile, "...the ingredients are cabbage, wax gourd, carrot and potato. Absolutely healthy!"
"...Health may be healthy, but this taste is poisonous..."
Chen Qiuhan's whole face was wrinkled, and he pushed the fruit and vegetable juice into the corner, "...Hollywood female stars actually drink this every day?
Ah, well, now I finally understand a little bit why the seniors in the school said that the private lives of Hollywood female stars may not be chaotic, but they are definitely more difficult to serve than one, and their tempers are more outstanding than the other. Need to do psychological counseling.
Being hugged by people every day, enjoying the scenery, but having to drink this kind of stuff like witch medicine soup when I go home, can I have a good temper? "
"...yes, happiness comes from calories, from sugar, protein, and fat.
Therefore, those so-called junk foods can indeed make people happy, but green and healthy vegetable leaves and fruit and vegetable juices absolutely cannot. "
Dolores, a red-necked girl who has been in Hollywood for a few years, nodded and agreed, "...Not to mention, those big stars who live in Beverly Hills are basically living their lives like a play. They only need to wake up every day , you have to put on a mask and live in the world according to the image designed by the team - a virtuous housewife, a happy father, an elegant lady, a lively girl next door... regardless of what they think in their hearts.
how to say?There is a feeling of living in "The Truman Show"-but it must be very tiring, and the temper will naturally not get better. "
"...but those handsome men and beauties still sharpen their heads and want to be stars. After all, in the United States, it is easiest to step into the upper class from the entertainment industry.
For the poor boy and Cinderella who have no money, no background, no education, and only a good skin, other ways to climb up are too difficult! "
Qiu Shanhui commented like this, and then changed the subject, "... At the party tonight, is it true that no one came to talk to you? Brother Chen?"
"...Ah, if I have to say something, there is someone else." Chen Qiuhan touched his nose, "...a plump black female state congressman invited me to immigrate to the United States, um, it's the kind of investment immigration. American. She said she could do something special and give me some discounts."
"...Oh? Then you plan to immigrate and become an American?" Akiyama Hui raised his eyebrows and asked.
"...Forget it, I think my motherland is not bad at the moment." Chen Qiuhan smiled disapprovingly.
Let him, a rich second generation, become an American citizen?stop laughing!
Now is not the time when everyone yearned for the land of lighthouses in "Peking Man in New York" 30 years ago!
Regardless of the principles of patriotism, even from the perspective of personal interests, it is not cost-effective for him to naturalize in the United States.
It’s all right for those beating workers who have no money. A small rich family with some assets like him, who recklessly ran to the United States, is a lamb to be slaughtered!
——Especially in a place like California, where there are so many exorbitant taxes, there are more than ten kinds of personal regular taxes that he knows, such as federal tax, city tax, and state tax, and none of them can fall... Not to mention the post-disaster revitalization of Los Angeles , the state government will definitely increase taxes.
But with the current executive power of the U.S. government, I am afraid that the money from the rich in the United States will not be collected at all, and the poor in the United States will have no money to scrape. So where will the tax come from?It must be to slaughter those foreign rich guys who have just arrived and have not yet established background connections!
Is he, Chen Qiuhan, crazy or stupid, and wants to put himself under the knife of the National Taxation Bureau?
Moreover, today's American citizenship is a bit like a mousetrap. It is not easy to get in, and it is even more difficult to get out.
If an American wants to renounce his nationality, first of all, the handling fee alone will cost 2350 US dollars, and then he needs to take the initiative to declare his overseas assets, otherwise the US Internal Revenue Service will automatically deduct 30%, and even if he declares, he will need to pay a 27.5% renunciation tax .
Then, if your assets in the United States exceed 200 million US dollars, then congratulations, you still need to wait for a 30.00% tax declaration!
I remember a Russian rich man who was fooled into naturalization, and later found out that something was wrong. He spent a total of [-] million U.S. dollars to give up his American citizenship. It is lucky to cut his flesh and escape like this. If it is delayed for a few years, the Russian wave of sanctions At the same time, this guy is afraid that he will lose his life in the United States.
Chapter 146, Never United
Although modern American rich people have all kinds of tax avoidance methods, some billionaires even boast that they pay less tax than their own maids.
But the question is, the tax avoidance tricks of these rich Americans... In essence, what should I say?
In fact, it is not a clear rule, but a set of unspoken rules that are supported by the small circles of the upper class in the United States. It is not that you can use these methods casually as long as you know them, but it depends on your face, family background, and blood. Sixth and ninth grades—such as "old money" families, "new money" families, "Boston Brahmins" and the like, should be further subdivided according to religion and ethnicity.
It can be compared to the privileges of Brahmans in India, or the ancient Chinese saying that "you can't be punished by a doctor, and you can't be polite to a common man."
If you are not even a scholar-bureaucrat, how can you use etiquette to protect your interests?
And, as a matter of common sense, the more a society emphasizes something, the more it tends to lack it.
Since the United States has made such a vigorous effort against racial discrimination, it shows that the problem of racial discrimination in this country is really serious.
Therefore, in the upper class circles of the United States, racial discrimination is actually very prevalent, deeply rooted, and very xenophobic.
Those rich Russians with white skin basically can't squeeze into these circles, let alone a Chinese like Chen Qiuhan?
Unless he is a woman and married into a wealthy American family - such as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's Asian wife.
But to be honest, whether Zuckerberg, a Jew, has squeezed into the Brahmin circle in the United States is also doubtful according to the available information.
In short, even though he became the best candidate for FSM, Chen Qiuhan still felt that it was difficult for him to gain a firm foothold in the United States. Based on his dream experience in the past month, at least he can become a top Internet celebrity.
His father is in the business of funeral supplies for incense candles and paper figurines in Mibeizhuang, Baoding, Hebei. Recently, because of his son's big limelight in the United States, relying on the endorsement of [Mianmianjiao], it has become popular all over the country, both at home and abroad. Orders were received within a very short period of time.
