Chapter 74: Was it suppressed?
Chapter 74: Was it suppressed?
"A registered sect?"
Chen Yaozu didn’t know much about this aspect, whether in his previous life or this life, so he was a little confused.
Ms. Megan nodded and explained seriously:
“Yes, register your sect, and if successful, religious assets can even be tax-free.
Of course, this requires qualifications, which require you to have legitimate religious qualifications and doctrines recognized by others, as well as a certain degree of charitable behavior.
In addition, as long as members of various religious sects in America are legal, they have many invisible privileges.
Because rich people will have a lot of property registered under the name of religion for tax avoidance and inheritance.
Of course, there are many charitable foundations and the like, but I won’t mention them here. So even the President doesn’t dare to touch the religious aspect.
However, there are many invisible factors, and fame and influence are one of them.”
Chen Yaozu understood, and he remembered an article called "Fan Jin Zhongju".
What is not written in the article is that after passing the imperial examination, Fan Jin became wealthy because many people would register their land under his name, and he did not have to pay taxes on the land under his name.
You just need to discuss with him what proportion of the annual harvest to collect, and that will be the way to transfer the taxes that the state should collect to private individuals, and even register people under private names.
Just like what Megan is saying now.
"But it's too late to register now. The situation in the disaster areas of Florida and several surrounding states is urgent. How can we wait until the registration is approved before taking action?"
Things in America are not as fast as imagined. Sometimes it takes several months, half a year, a year or even several years to approve a document or get a certificate.
There was no intuitive feeling about this before coming here, but after living here for a while, many people will find that doing things in America is too slow and various agencies need approval.
Unless you have someone on top!
Thinking of this, Chen Yaozu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Megan and Mihayev: "What you two mean is that you can help me register the sect before I leave?"
Megan smiled and nodded: “Why not?
You have to know that even if you urgently want to appear in Florida and the three surrounding states to rescue the victims.
But what can you use to save?
I took the dozens of shirtless strong men there with me and in addition to consuming supplies, they also helped with some moving and lifting work.
What else will this do except increase the burden on the disaster-stricken areas?
Therefore, if you really want to carry out disaster relief, you must complete an overall plan.
You need to raise funds, materials and manpower.
This period of time is enough for us to help you register your sect!
But it's not up to me to decide, it's up to Mihayev, because he has a friend working in the American International Religious Affairs Committee."
Mihayev glanced at his wife, then smiled and looked up: "My wife told me that you would be a good friend, so we can help you register the sect.
We know someone in this area, but if we get tax-free status in the future, we may have to give him a spot.”
The assets of the American religion are not all tax-exempt once you qualify. It depends on how big the qualification is and how much charity you have done.
Therefore, there need to be restrictions on allowing people to rely on you.
For example, the famous Flying Spaghetti Sect is not qualified, even though it seems to have many disciples.
Chen Yaozu understood. Isn't it the same as Commander America's will definitely join a certain consortium as a consultant after retirement, doing nothing all day and earning several million dollars a year?
"Ok, I agree!"
Megan's words also made Chen Yaozu realize his own shortcomings.
His plan was to enter the disaster area and launch operations based on his rescue experience in his previous life.
However, the couple in front of him woke him up.
This is not like the previous life. There is no unity, and there are even people who hold us back.
As a rescue team in his previous life, he always had a certain rear base and the support of local people, so he only needed to concentrate on rescue.
But here, no!
There is not much unity here, only freedom and laxity, as well as mutual hostility among different camps.
There are even internet celebrities who directly criticized on YouTube, saying that those who went to rescue were neo-Nazis, because those states are all supporters of the Big Golden Retriever, and the Big Golden Retriever is a purer Pan-Americanism that rejects too many immigrants.
So this time when he led the rescue team, he had no rear support, only himself, and no mass base.
This also leads to a problem. What he needs to do is not only rescue, but also raising supplies and funds.
The most important thing is money.
Megan and Mihayev left, holding the name of the sect, "The 25th Rule of Taoism", and the casually written doctrine, which advocates virtues such as kindness, frugality, and humility, advocates social harmony, fairness and justice, emphasizes self-cultivation, cultivates qualities such as kindness, tolerance, and integrity, and achieves a state of unity with Tao through self-discipline and self-improvement.
Take it as your responsibility to save the world and help those in need, care about social suffering.
Contribute to society through charitable activities, medical assistance, etc.
We should not only help others solve their material difficulties, but also guide people to embark on the path of spiritual practice, get rid of suffering and achieve spiritual liberation.
Anyway, it just highlights a very simple look, which is that it must be high-end!
Big news!
Yaozu Chen, the star player of the Los Angeles High School District Staff Football Team and the physical education teacher of Portwater High School, this oriental beast on the football field who has never lost even once and whose collisions few people can withstand, suddenly decided to withdraw from the competition when the semi-finals were approaching.
This caused an uproar, especially among local residents in Los Angeles, who, under the influence of the news, questioned all parties online.
Some people even drove to the gate of Portwater High School, holding banners and demanding Chen Yaozu come out and give an explanation.
"Okay, I'll be back to meet these reporters in half an hour. Sorry to bother you!"
When Mrs. Wood called, Chen Yaozu was meeting with a young Chinese man named David Lin.
"Which profession is Mr. Chen from?"
Although this Chinese man named David is young, he is very experienced in what he says and does. According to A Yu, he has been secretly investigating for quite some time and only came to the door after he had obtained certain evidence.
Coming here now is an ultimatum.
If you don't listen to the ultimatum, don't go to the headquarters to explain yourself and confront the results of the investigation, then the next people to come will be members of the headquarters' law enforcement team.
Knife and gun fighters, or collectively known as killers.
However, he did not expect that after he went to the sect to give the ultimatum, the new head of the sect, Zhou Jiping, and Double Flower Red Stick A Yu, would actually push forward this young man in front of him.
He knew who the young man in front of him was. He was the currently much-talked-about physical education teacher, Yaozu Chen, the favorite to win the National High School Faculty Football Tournament.
He also knew that the previous hall master was most likely killed by this man, even though the result of his investigation through an insider was that he died at the hands of A Yu.
But he trusts his intuition more.
But that didn't stop him from hiding his thoughts when facing this person, and pretending not to know him and asking about the other person's identity.
He pretended not to know him, but the other party didn't.
"Lin David, whose ancestral home is Chaozhou, is the deputy head of the Fuqing Gang's Law Enforcement Hall. How come he joined the Fuqing Gang instead of the Chaozhou Gang?
What’s wrong? You clearly checked my information two days ago, why are you pretending not to know me now when we meet?
Do you not want to conflict with me, or do you want to do it secretly in the future?"
Chen Yaozu asked with a smile.
However, when his words fell into the other party's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue!
It turned out that all his actions were just self-righteous secrets, but who knew that every move had already been monitored by the other party.
Lin David had a bitter look on his face and asked with a forced smile:
"Mr. Chen has a good job and could become a famous rugby player in the future, so why would he want to get involved with gangs like us who are struggling to survive?
This gang is a quagmire that no one wants to enter. Why would you, a nobleman who has already squeezed into the upper class, get involved in such things?"
Although the gold content of the All-American Staff Football star player is not a star player in the professional club league, his future is definitely bright. You know, in America, the most profitable is not WWE or UFC, but football, followed by the top basketball players.
That's right!
The annual income of a top rugby player who can perform well can sometimes easily surpass that of a gang.
Even though the Fuqing Gang is the largest Chinese gang in the United States.
Prescott, America's top football player, earned $1 million on the field two years ago, in addition to commercial endorsements and so on.
It can be said that if you can achieve good results and become a football player, it is no less than an ordinary person being admitted to the world's top prestigious university.
Why would such a person want to join a gang?
This made Lin David confused.
Most importantly, why do A Yu and Zhou Jiping think that the football player in front of them can protect them?
Is it just because he is a physical education teacher?
"Because since the day before yesterday, Ah Yu and Zhou Jiping have become my disciples, and now, they are my beloved relatives, friends, brothers and sisters.
Since it is a matter between brothers, can I ignore it? "
Chen Yaozu picked up a cup of tea, took a sip of the bitter-sweet taste, and looked at the other person with a smile.
Lin Dawei understood that from the moment the other party said this to him, the Fuqing Gang’s branch in Los Angeles was no longer the Fuqing Gang.
He looked up at the two people behind Chen Yaozu:
“Once you enter Fuqing Gate, you become the soul of Fuqing. It is easy to enter, but difficult to leave!
In this case, don’t blame the headquarters for cleaning up the mess from now on! "
After saying that, he was about to leave, and then he was about to fall out.
In terms of foundation, the Fuqing headquarters can easily crush the Los Angeles branch, and it is easy to eliminate a few traitors.
"Mr. Lin, don't leave in a hurry!"
As soon as Chen Yaozu finished speaking, Lin David felt that he could not move.
Then he watched the physical education teacher stand up, walk up to him step by step and pat him on the shoulder.
"I told you, Ah Yu and Zhou Jiping are now my guardians and brothers.
If you attack them, you are attacking me.
But you may not know who you are dealing with!
You won't listen to me, so I'll let you get some fresh air and calm down!"
As soon as Chen Yaozu finished speaking, Lin David felt horrified that he was walking out uncontrollably.
At this moment he found that his hands, feet, and even his head were no longer under his control.
He walked into the stairs, then went all the way up to the rooftop terrace, then stepped outward step by step until he had half of his foot sticking out of the edge, then he stopped.
Although Lin David could not control his body at this time, his fear had caused his body to instinctively break out in a cold sweat. He was sweating all over and looked very embarrassed.
"Don't worry, when two countries are at war, they don't kill envoys. You won't die!
Mr. Lin, can the wind on the rooftop help you wake up? If so, come down!"
Only then did Lin David feel that his body had regained control. This sudden self-recovery made him stagger and almost fall.
He desperately took two steps back and crawled back, only to see Chen Yaozu, A Yu and Zhou Jiping standing at the entrance of the stairs, looking at him with smiles.
hiss……
"Just now...what was that?"
David Lin looked at the person in front of him with horror, and asked this question with trembling lips.
"I registered a sect in Los Angeles, named "The 25th Dao Sect", also known as the Los Angeles Sect, and I am honored to be the seal holder.
But I can’t be the only one in this sect!
It just so happened that the leader of the Los Angeles branch of the Fuqing Gang passed away, and Zhou Jiping and Honggun Ayu, who took over as leaders, were interested in merging the Los Angeles branch into my sect.
I thought about it and felt I couldn't refuse such a kind invitation, so I agreed.
Because I’m short of manpower now!”
Chen Yaozu smiled and explained to him: "I am also worried that the Fuqing Gang, as the largest Chinese gang in the United States, will lose face.
Therefore, I just demonstrated my strength a little bit just now, so that you can have a standard to measure.
This way there won’t be any conflicts or misunderstandings!
What do you think? "
Lin David's heart was filled with turmoil. He had been fighting for several years, but had never seen such an opponent with a mysterious side or even supernatural powers.
This is the first time I saw them today. They had no power to fight back at all, including the two drone controllers who have not moved yet.
“I have to say that the combat personnel of your Law Enforcement Hall are quite up-to-date. Now they don’t use swords or guns anymore, they directly use drones to fight.
But it seems that they have fallen asleep on the rooftop over there. Just wake them up when you go back!
By the way, go back and tell your boss that it is better to resolve a feud than to create one.
Even if the Los Angeles branch breaks away from the Fuqing Gang, we can still help each other!"
After saying this, Chen Yaozu left. He didn’t need to wait for the other party’s attitude.
After all, there was a group of reporters waiting for him at the gate of Portwater School!
As for David Lin, he came to the rooftop of another building, where two people were lying on the ground, with several drones and the things they carried placed next to them.
It can be seen that there were no signs of fighting or struggling around these two people, they were just knocked unconscious suddenly.
He took a deep breath, took out his phone, and called his boss: "Boss..."
……
At the gate of Portwater School, a group of reporters finally waited for the protagonist they had been waiting for. The star player who was unstoppable and rampaging like a beast on the court now appeared in front of them as gentle as a gentleman.
"Mr. Yaozu Chen, you withdrew from the semi-finals and finals where you were sure to win the championship. Is it because your identity as an Oriental was suppressed?"
"Mr. Yaozu Chen, are you being racially discriminated against?"
"Mr. Yaozu Chen..."
Suddenly, a sentence silenced the reporters: "No, I did not suffer from racial discrimination. I decided to withdraw from the competition after learning that Florida and several surrounding states suffered hurricane disasters, causing countless deaths and injuries, and many people became homeless. The organizer volunteered to go to the disaster relief!
You can play a ball game at any time.
But people in disaster cannot wait any longer! "
Chen Yaozu's words made almost all the reporters at the scene speechless!
Then they looked at each other, and finally, somehow, they all left!
"Oh! You! You shouldn't have said that..."
Old Mrs. Wood suddenly sighed. She would rather Chen Yaozu said that he suffered racial discrimination at school, which would be easier to deal with than this.
