America.
Seattle.
In a mansion in a Chinese community
"14, 27, 31……"
Liu Desheng, general manager of the American branch of Huamao Group, was staring at the Powerball lottery broadcast on TV.
As the balls rolled out one after another from the roller, Liu Desheng compared the notes in his hand with an excited expression.
"8, the last number is 8!"
"I lost it!"
When he heard the host on the TV saying it was 8, Liu Desheng was stunned at first, and then suddenly exclaimed.
His wife, who was cleaning up after dinner in the kitchen, heard her husband yelling and shouted dissatisfied:"Old Liu , what are you yelling for!"
"Nothing happens to you!"
Liu Desheng's newly brewing emotions were interrupted by his wife, and he immediately replied angrily, and then he matched the numbers on the TV one by one.
After making sure that he was really successful, Liu Desheng shouted A regret.
It seems that the chairman has the inside story!
Otherwise, he would not have called me from Hong Kong to arrange for me to buy Powerball lottery tickets, and also asked me to send someone to fly back to Hong Kong Island with the lottery tickets!
I should have known better. I followed the chairman and bought a bunch of them.
Wait, this number seems to be the number I selected by machine?
Could it be that this is my luck, and the chairman took it away?
"ah~~~~"
Liu Desheng roared sadly.
Liu Desheng's wife ran out of the kitchen with a rag and said unhappily:"What do you want to do, Old Liu? What's the name of a ghost crying and howling this night?" At this moment
, the host's call came from the TV Voice:"According to statistics, the accumulated prize pool in this issue has reached 230 million US dollars. If someone can buy and win the jackpot in this issue, they will have the opportunity to empty out the prize pool at once!"
"My dollars, my billionaire dream!"
Liu Desheng thought that the 230 million US dollars should have been his, but now everything was gone. He suddenly became angry. A fishy smell came out of his throat. With a puff, he spurted out a large mouthful of blood. Then his eyesight went black. passed out
"Lao Liu!"
Liu Desheng's wife was so frightened when she saw this posture that she quickly went upstairs to call her children and asked them to call the hospital quickly.......……………………
…………………………
Gong Ruxin, who was far away in Xiangjiang, also received the news that Liu Desheng was ill and hospitalized.
"I got sick? what happened? Wasn't it fine yesterday?"
21 Gong Ruxin looked at the assistant in surprise. She asked Liu Desheng to help with the Powerball lottery yesterday. Why was he hospitalized today? The assistant replied:"Vice President Zhang from Seattle went over to see it. The doctor said he was angry. Attacks the heart, causing Qi and blood to surge, leading to high blood pressure"
"Furious? hypertension?"
Gong Ruxin frowned. Isn't he angry? Is it the popular Old Liu in the Old Liu family?
But no matter what, the person has been hospitalized, so the company naturally has to show its expression. Gong Ruxin said:"You asked Zhang The vice president sent me condolence money in my name"
"Good chairman. The assistant nodded and was about to turn around and leave when Gong Ruxin's voice came from behind:"By the way, is the US Powerball lottery list out?""
"The chairman has already come out."
The assistant then reacted and took out the winning information faxed back from the United States from his pocket.
For the assistant, the winning Powerball numbers were secondary, and the hospitalization of the general manager of the local branch was more important.
And Gong Ruxin is the complete opposite
"You go out first."
After taking the note, Gong Ruxin waved his hand to signal the other party to leave.
After they left, he picked up the winning information sheet and looked at it.
The first thing he saw was the cumulative prize pool of US$230 million.
"230 million US dollars, it is indeed the world's largest lottery, easily worth hundreds of millions of dollars."
After Gong Ruxin sighed, she took out a piece of paper from the drawer and prepared to compare.
When she sent people to deliver all the Powerball lottery tickets to the top of the mountain to Master Yichen, she copied this set of numbers. Thinking of matching a pair of numbers then.
If she wins, she can go to congratulate Master Yichen as soon as possible. If she doesn't win, she can also call and say some words of comfort.
"14, 27, 31...8!"
Hiss!
Got it all!
Gong Ruxin's eyes went straight.
She rubbed her eyes and was more careful this time than before. Not only did she put on her glasses, but she also corrected the numbers one by one.
I really don't blame Gong Ruxin for being like this. It's really This prize is too big.
230 million U.S. dollars, even if it is taxable in the United States, it must be at least 150 million U.S. dollars, or even more.
150 million U.S. dollars!
According to the Hong Kong Finance Secretary in October 1983 The new policy announced was to stabilize the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar and peg the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S. dollar at a fixed exchange rate of 8 Hong Kong dollars to 1 U.S. dollar, which has been maintained to this day.
A full 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars!
This is still a conservative estimate.
Even Gong Ruxin, who has a net worth of tens of billions, can't bear it. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
You know, with a net worth of tens of billions, that is only after calculating the market value. The funds that Gong Ruxin can really use have actually been spent during this period. Even the construction of Xishan Temple Money, Datou also relied on the group's investment to win the land in Xishan.
Many years later, the Li family became a ransom for their son, scraping together here and there, only 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Now they just won a Powerball. The lottery ticket costs 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the cost, including return air tickets, is less than US$10,000.
"Master Yichen is truly a god!"
Gong Ruxin naturally wouldn't think that this was her luck or the luck of the subordinates who bought the lottery tickets. After all, Master Yichen had said in advance that this was the result of his meeting, and it was good luck!
"No, I have to notify Master Yichen and ask him to keep the lottery tickets!"
Gong Ruxin was so excited at the moment that she realized it after a while. She immediately called Lin Chen and prepared to tell him the good news. At the same time, she asked Master Yichen to put away the lottery ticket.
It was not a lottery ticket. A piece of paper, but a full 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars!
………………………………………………
………………………………………………
Lantau Island.
Inside the Po Lin Monastery.
After seeing Tan Yonglin again, Lin Chen went to the Zen room where the Shaolin delegation lived, preparing to pay a visit to his uncle, Master Xuannan.
But at this moment, his cell phone rang, and it was Gong Ruxin calling.
After Lin Chen answered the call directly, he learned from Gong Ruxin that he had won $230 million in Powerball.
"Master Yichen, you must keep your Powerball lottery tickets properly!"
"Amitabha, layman Gong, don’t worry, the poor monk has already taken the lottery ticket with him."
"That’s good, that’s good!"
Gong Ruxin breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Master Yichen would forget or lose it. Then she immediately said:"Master Yichen, I will arrange a plane to send you to the United States to receive the award, and by the way, I will help you open one there. Bank Account. By the way, find a lawyer and see if you can get the money back while avoiding taxes through joint financing."
Although Gong Ruxin has never paid attention to how to get back the grand prize after winning the lottery, as a businessman, she naturally understands that in addition to paying income tax for such a large amount of money, there must be other tax issues.
After all, this money It’s really too much, a total of 230 million US dollars. If you don’t find a way to avoid tax, the loss will not be 10 or 20 million, but hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars!
"No need to be so troublesome, Mr. Gong.
Lin Chen smiled lightly and said:"I have decided to donate this money to a charity foundation.""
"ah? Master Yichen, you... do you really want to donate?"
Gong Ruxin was dumbfounded. This is more than one billion, and you just donated it?
Although the legal person of Yichen Charitable Foundation is Lin Chen, how the money in the foundation is used is also Lin Chen's business.
But this donation If you go, then you have really donated it, even in name.
Lin Chen said:"Amitabha, the poor monk has told layman Gong before that the poor monk will use this money for charity. Help all sentient beings and do good deeds!"
One billion Hong Kong dollars is indeed a lot. Lin Chen himself is also very excited. After all, he has been born in two generations. Not to mention such a large sum of money, it was all obtained by winning a lottery.
This kind of joy is comparable to earning more than ten dollars through hard work. 100 million, it is definitely much more enjoyable.
But again, Lin Chen is not short of money and does not have so many places to spend money.
After all, he won more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the Mark Six Lottery alone. This money is enough for him to solve daily problems. Things that cost money.
Donating US$100-200 million from Powerball to charitable foundations will not only avoid tax, but the government will not have the right to collect any taxes.
Charitable foundations in Hong Kong are different from charities in Europe and the United States. Foundations are similar in nature.
The fundamental reason why Bill Gates made such generous naked donations decades later is that the actual controllers of the foundation are his descendants. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
His descendants , able to moveEvery money from the foundation, even if it is used to buy luxury cars or mansions, is no problem. At worst, when the time comes to do the accounting, it can be changed to official needs.
In this way, you can avoid the high inheritance tax and improve Bill Gates' reputation. It's simply killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, Lin Chen donated everything to the foundation, but it did not affect his use at all.
On the one hand, this money is still within the control of Lin Chen. If he wants to build a Hope Primary School, he will build it. If he wants to help poor students, he will fund it. If he wants to build a temple for public welfare, he will build it...
It can be said that this amount Qian Linchen can use it however he wants.
On the other hand, Lin Chen is a monk and has won such big prizes one after another. Xiangjiang may be able to fool him, but it is almost difficult for the United States to hide it.
At that time, the American media will inevitably track down the grand prize winner. This is the largest winning amount in the United States since the establishment of the Powerball lottery.
Rather than passively being exposed, Lin Chen might as well take the initiative.
Anyway, he is a monk and donated the money.
Others will only think that Lin Chen is worthy of being a living Buddha. He regards money as dirt, has noble moral character and is full of compassion..
Those who want to make money are probably unlikely to go to charity foundations to grab money.
Even if we go to rob, the money is not in the foundation, so it would be more cost-effective to rob a bank.
"Master Yichen’s compassionate heart will be recognized by heaven and earth!"
Gong Ruxin once again had endless admiration for Lin Chen.
If it were an ordinary monk, winning such a big prize would be completely personal, and he would probably have returned to secular life long ago. It's more than one billion, let alone buying a luxury house. A car, even if you marry a dozen wives, it is more than enough.
But Master Yichen is not only unmoved by money, but also donated such a huge sum of money to the foundation. He is really a living Buddha!
"Master Yichen, I will send someone to the foundation right now……"
"No! I will go to the foundation in person and will accompany the relevant person in charge of the foundation to claim the prize in the United States!"[]
It’s no wonder that Gong Ruxin is so cautious.
This is a grand prize of 230 million U.S. dollars. The money is so exciting.
Who knows if someone in the foundation is taking risks for the sake of this money, even taking the lottery ticket and running away.
At that time, he took the lottery ticket to the United States, cashed in the prize, deposited the money into his own account, and then disappeared.
Is it possible that he could be pursued across the country?!
Gong Ruxin is a figure in this three-acre area of Hong Kong Island, but outside of Hong Kong Island, especially in the United States, headed by Western countries, apart from being a fat sheep in the eyes of others, there is nothing worthy of fear.
Hearing Gong Ruxin's words reminded Lin Chen of the Hong Kong movie series"Rich and Rich" that he had watched before.
In the second part of this movie, it seems to be the story of the male protagonist Uncle Biao who won a 30 million Canadian dollar jackpot in Canada and was hunted down all the way.
Thinking of the plot of this movie, Lin Chen felt funny in his heart, but then he thought about whether he could continue to win the grand prize this time.A remake?
I remember the trilogy of wealth and honor, namely, wealth and honor, and wealth and honor again and again, and wealth and honor again and again... What should this fourth part be called?
Lin Chen said:"Amitabha, Master Gong is interested, but the poor monk has decided to go and receive the award in person."
"ah?!
Gong Ruxin was dumbfounded and said in surprise:"Master Yichen, how can you go to receive the award in person?" There is a lot of chaos over there in the United States. What if something happens to you?……"
"Amitabha 467, thank you Master Gong for your concern. Lin
Chen smiled and said:"This poor monk is going to the United States. In addition to receiving the award, he also wants to visit the temples in the United States and visit the local eminent monks.""
"As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. The poor monk grew up in Shaolin. The farthest he ever traveled was to Xiangjiang."
"Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to visit the United States on the other side of the ocean."
"Teach Buddhist scriptures to the local area, spread the Buddha's Dharma, and let the Buddha's light shine on the western land!"
When Gong Ruxin on the other end of the phone heard this, the story of Monk Jianzhen in the Tang Dynasty who traveled east to Fusang immediately came to mind.
As a Buddhist, Gong Ruxin naturally knows a lot about some famous monks in history, among them Monk Jianzhen traveled east to Fusang to spread Buddhism and promote Buddhist culture there. This was the first time in the history of Chinese Buddhism!
Everyone knows that Buddhism spread from ancient Tianzhu. Many eminent monks from Tianzhu came to China to promote Buddhism. Among them, the most famous The most powerful one is of course Patriarch Bodhidharma.
This is a religious patriarch who can truly stand alongside Laozi, Confucius and other ancients.
But Bodhidharma is a foreigner. How can a foreigner become the patriarch of his country's religion?
In the final analysis, it still lies in Bodhidharma came to the East to spread the essence of Buddhism.
Just like the monk Jianzhen who traveled eastward to Fusang, his status in Japan was also a very transcendent existence.
Not only did he receive grand courtesy from the Japanese at that time, but he also created the The Tiantai Sect is a temple that has been passed down to this day.
You must know that the status of the Tiantai Sect in Japan is not weaker than the Taoist Longhu Mountain and the Buddhist Shaolin Temple in China.
Master Jianzhen is also revered as the first ancestor of the Japanese Vinaya Sect, the one who truly became a Buddha. The ancestor.
Now, Master Yichen wants to take advantage of this opportunity of winning the lottery to go to the United States to teach Buddhist scriptures and promote the Buddha's Dharma. The Buddha's light will shine on the Western land.
Thousands of years later, it may become another good story.
Also. It has a long history, such as Monk Jianzhen’s six crossings of Fusang, and it is still recorded by people. At that time, I think it should be: The Living Buddha has traveled thousands of miles, and the Buddha’s light shines on the American land!
When I think about my future, it is very likely that Because of this incident, he was recorded in history. Gong Ruxin was extremely excited and said repeatedly:"No problem, Master Yichen. I will find someone to arrange the trip to Milician.""
"Amitabha, layman Gong doesn’t have to worry, we can set off early next month."
There are only a few days left until November.
Lin Chen still wants to wait until Qingxia's filming is finished before taking her with him.
After all, he has decided to arrange for Qingxia to be the general manager of the foundation. This time Going to the United States to receive a bonus donation is such a big thing, it must be a sensation.
Qingxia will definitely go with her, so that she can use this opportunity to solidify her identity as the head of the foundation.
