Chapter 963 Tax Officer
Wang Zhidong and his party rushed to the United States in a hurry.
Philip Katz's funeral was very simple.
His parents died young and he lives alone. Of course, as a hacker, loneliness comes with it.
Therefore, some hackers donated money to a local priest to help host his funeral.
As for attending, forget it.
The reason why a hacker is a hacker is that his identity cannot be exposed.
Nowadays, many hackers have various legitimate careers, and many of them still work in some large companies.
After all, the hacker itself is more of a stimulus, an identity outside the law, and no one uses it to make money. For many hackers, if they don’t want to live in poverty, they must have a legal identity.
work.
Therefore, although they paid for it, they would not attend such a funeral to avoid exposing their identities.
Fortunately, in order to commemorate this great hacker, although the funeral was simple, it was not shabby. In fact, it was even more luxurious.
Many hackers raised funds to buy a cemetery for him, as well as a coffin made of fine sandalwood, and published his funeral location on the Internet.
However, there are still very few people who truly resist.
Even if they do come, most of them are irrelevant people.
When Wang Zhidong and his party arrived, they found that Qin Feng and Jiang Yong had arrived early.
"Qin Feng!" Wang Zhidong gritted his teeth.
This guy actually arrived earlier than he did. Damn it, did he want to monopolize the whole place and blackmail himself?
But now that I'm here, I won't allow you to mess around.
"Wang Zhidong is here!" Jiang Yong whispered.
"Don't worry about him, wait until the funeral is over!" Qin Feng said calmly.
This was at a funeral. In China, there is an old saying that death is the most important thing. No matter what the interests are, the funeral cannot be ruined. At least Philip Katz must be buried in peace.
Under the auspices of the priest, the funeral was quickly completed.
The staff buried the coffin in the grave, filled it with soil, covered it with lawn, and said a final prayer before the funeral ended.
At this time, a man with blond hair, blue eyes and a slightly hooked nose walked forward.
"You are all attending Philip Katz's funeral, so I will read you your rights." The blond man said.
"Who are you?" Qin Feng asked in surprise.
"I am Henry, the tax collector. Philip Katz has no relatives, and he once made a will, that is, everyone who attended his funeral will have the opportunity to receive his inheritance!" Henry said.
"Wait! Shouldn't the lawyer make the announcement?" Qin Feng said doubtfully.
This kind of thing should be announced by a lawyer, not a tax officer.
"I don't care how to obtain the inheritance, but what I want to tell you is that he received an income of 70,000 US dollars during his lifetime and did not pay taxes. According to U.S. law, if anyone inherits his inheritance, he needs to pay this tax for him
Payments and punitive fines. Also, after his death, all estates will need to be taxed." Henry said, "Okay, I'm done."
Everyone has a black face.
Sure enough, in the United States, the only thing a person can't live without is two words: tax.
For Americans, they have been dealing with taxes all their lives. No matter who you are or what your status is, the person you fear most and are least willing to deal with is the tax official.
Because the police will still ask for evidence and the immigration bureau will find it troublesome, but the tax officer will spare no effort to pay taxes.
Many gang bosses and black immigrants are not afraid of the police and immigration officials, but are afraid of tax officials.
"We just came here because of its reputation, and we don't want to get its legacy!" Several people who attended the funeral left one after another.
After all, this tax is a lot of 70,000 US dollars. According to American law, this income will be taxed almost one-third, plus punitive fines. I am afraid that this money will not only not be obtained in the end, but may even be lost.
Give money.
This is not impossible.
So, they left early.
Wang Zhidong rolled his eyes and stayed firmly. No matter how much tax he paid, what he wanted was authorization. Otherwise, Qin Feng would be allowed to speak loudly.
You won't have to fight this kind of lawsuit involving the United States in the past few years. You will definitely lose.
Especially if he committed the infringement first.
"There are only four of you now. As my client's lawyer, I want to announce his will first!" the lawyer said.
Needless to say, this lawyer was hired by hackers. There was no other way, Philip Katz was too poor.
Although Jiang Yong had the $70,000, he completely squandered it. Drinking, ordering takeout, buying sex, etc., he didn't even have to think about paying taxes, so he squandered it all.
"I, Philip Katz, as the founder of winzip, single-handedly defeated Arc Company and brought free compression technology to everyone. But I did not gain any benefits. Instead, my life was full of tragedies. The spirit of the Internet is sharing
, I am willing to sacrifice everything for this spirit. However, for me, this is still unfair. I have done so much, but at the most pitiful time, I could not even afford a piece of pizza. And as a
Hackers, this situation does not only happen to me. This situation also happens to many hackers. Therefore, I hope that the person who receives my legacy can create an award similar to the Turing Award to reward all hackers.
"The lawyer read out.
Everyone was surprised.
As we all know, the Turing Award is similar to the Nobel Prize.
However, among the Nobel Prizes, due to the environment at the time, there were no computer-related prizes.
Later, in 1966, the American Computer Association created the Turing Award in order to encourage the development of computers.
As for the word Turing, it comes from Alan Mathison Turing.
A British mathematician and logician, he is known as the father of computer science and artificial intelligence. In 1931, Turing entered King's College, Cambridge University. After graduation, he went to Princeton University in the United States to study for a doctorate. After the outbreak of World War II, Turing returned
Cambridge later assisted the military in cracking Germany's famous encryption system Engema, helping the Allies win World War II.
It can be said that without Turing to crack the German Enigma encryption system, it would be difficult for the Allies to win.
At that time, the German army's trust in the Enigma encryption system led to the German army sending intelligence at will. Every day, the British could intercept thousands of various encrypted intelligence messages from the German army.
However, since it is sent using the Enigma encryption mechanism, there are a total of 1,550 trillion encryption methods. At the time, it was impossible to crack it manually.
Later, Turing designed the first crude computer for cracking. This directly led to the beginning of the middle of the war, and all German intelligence was cracked.
