America started as a game

July 24, 1982, New York.

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

Li Hua never thought that he would travel to New York, USA, in 1982.

Li Hua was completely confused at first, but then he gradually got used to it.

Li Hua quickly arrived in front of his laundry, ready to come over and help.

In recent years, the economic situation in the United States has been very pessimistic, with inflation, economic recession, and unemployment rates rising sharply.

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

Fortunately, the Chinese have one advantage that is passed down in their blood, and that is they like to save money.

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

So last year, Li Hua's parents chose to open a laundry to make ends meet when they had not found a job.

"Dad, Mom." Li Hua called as he walked in, ready to ask where he could help.

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

At this time, both Li Chengping and Luo Yun were sitting there in trance with sad faces, as if they had not heard Li Hua's voice.

Li Hua walked over and made some noise, which made the two of them wake up.

When they saw it was their son, the two of them hurriedly put away a document in their hands.

Li Hua asked curiously: "Dad, Mom, what are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought?"

Luo Yun quickly said: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired. By the way, why are you here?"

Li Huadao: "I'm here to help. Mom, don't change the subject. What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

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

Li Chengping quickly covered it up: "It's nothing. Didn't your mother say that I'm a little tired?"

"There's nothing going on here. Go and play your own game. Do you still have money in your hand? If not, I'll give you some more."

As he said this, he wanted to give some money to Li Hua.

Li Hua deliberately showed an unhappy look, "Dad, I am eighteen this year. I am an adult and not a child anymore. What is going on at home that you still want to hide from me?"

He 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 nonsense are you talking about? You kid, don't make random guesses. Your dad and I have a good relationship."

Of course, Li Hua knew that his parents had a very good relationship. He asked just now just to get his parents to reveal what they were hiding.

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

Li Chengping was helpless, "Hey, forget it, I'll tell you."

After saying that, he handed the hidden things to Li Hua. Li Hua took a look at it and then said with some confusion: "Court summons? Who wants to sue us?"

Li Chengping said with a sad look on his face: "The IRS wants to sue us."

Luo Yun also sighed, "What kind of thing do you think this is? Even if you do good business, you can get involved in such things."

Li Hua seemed to understand something, "Have you evaded taxes?"

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

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

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

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

Then Li Chengping explained the matter, and then Li Hua understood what was going on.

It turned out that it was Li Chengping and Luo Yun who charged some of their daily household expenses to the laundromat and counted them as business expenses.

The IRS not only issued a large fine of US$30,000 for gross negligence, but also took them to court.

It is really difficult to hide these things from the US IRS.

However, there are actually many such things in the United States. Under normal circumstances, you only need to refill the tax application, and there is basically no big problem.

But I am afraid that I will encounter some people who deliberately make things difficult for me, and the Chinese are a vulnerable group in the United States. It is completely normal to encounter such deliberately difficult things.

If Li Chengping and his friends were replaced by a white American, the situation might be a little different.

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

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

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

The most fundamental purpose of the IRS is to make people pay taxes, nothing else.

"I asked someone to ask about it, and it's almost like this, but...hey!" Li Chengping sighed, thirty thousand US dollars, which is an astronomical sum for their family!

Not to mention now, even in the past they couldn't get it.

Now they have even less money. They were unemployed before and opened this laundry, which has wiped out all their savings.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. Since it happened, let's just solve it." Li Hua comforted him.

Li Chengping cheered up and said, "Well, your mother and I will figure it out, so you don't have to worry."

He didn't want his son to worry along with him.

Luo Yun also said from the side: "Yes, this is a matter between me and your father, and in the worst case, we will take out the laundry. Anyway, we can make some hard money."

That being said, even if the laundry is taken out, it probably won’t be enough to pay such a large fine!

Li Hua knew what his parents were thinking and knew that he didn't want to worry himself, so he didn't say anything more, but in his heart he had already begun to think about how to make money.

After helping out in the store for a while, his parents kicked him out and asked him to go out and relax.

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

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

This is a matter within the family, and naturally it is also Li Hua's matter. He also needs to share the worries at home.

Although he had many ways to make money in his mind, the simplest one was to invest in some stocks he knew about, but he had no money.

Li Hua rummaged through his pockets and found that he only had less than ten dollars. How could he invest this little 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 gone public yet.

Of course, the most important thing now is lack of money and capital.

Just when Li Hua was worrying about how to make money, he suddenly heard the conversation between two teenagers next to him.

"Today's games are just like shit, so boring."

"No, you are wrong, they are worse than dog shit."

"A bunch of liars. Totally disappointing. I never want to play games again."

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

He seems to have found a way to make money!
