Chapter 233: Fame Increases

As the champion of the most popular No-Limit Texas Hold'em Gold Tournament in the International Poker Grand Prix, Sun Ping was surrounded by countless media, with gold worth millions of dollars and prizes provided by other sponsors. At least $200 million or so has been added between them.

Among the prizes from the sponsors, Sun Ping only took a fancy to the Conqueror suv sponsored by Ford and the HP re13 ghost notebook, in addition to the shopping card of Macy's in New York.For the remaining bits and pieces, Sun Ping directly held a small lottery feedback activity on the spot with a wave of his hand.Although it might just be old ipods or vouchers for Taj Mahal, it also made the audience excited.

When Sun Ping hosted the lottery, the Bank of New York Mellon had already exchanged the gold for US dollars.When the bank manager handed over the cash check to Sun Ping, he reminded: "Mr. Sun, although the state government announced tax exemption for this bonus, the federal government still pays taxes. At the same time, since you are a foreigner, the state government You still have to pay foreigner income tax."

"I understand, this is not the first time I have come to America to earn money." Sun Ping replied with a smile.

Then Sun Ping took the microphone and shouted to the audience, "Do you know that the tax inspectors of the federal government and the state government should be waiting for my money outside the gate of the casino! I hate them, so I don't I will give them my money! So I have decided, except for the [-] US dollars I signed up for, I will donate all the rest of the money to charity. I will not let my money go to those moths!"

Sun Ping's proclamation was immediately supported by the audience.You must know that the American people have a saying that only death and taxes are inevitable.In the United States, the power and deterrence of the Internal Revenue Service far exceeds that of the FBI and CIA.There used to be a godfather of the American Mafia who escaped several arrests by the New York police and the FBI, but was sent to prison by the Internal Revenue Service for tax evasion.

It is precisely because of the strength and selflessness of the IRS that the perception of the IRS in the eyes of the American people is not good.Coupled with the "anarchism" in Americans' nature, they are full of suspicion and rejection of all government agencies.Therefore, Sun Ping's words made them empathize, and at the same time they were curious, would this new millionaire really donate all his prize money?

Sun Ping confirmed his promise with practical actions. He asked the manager of Furlong Bank in New York for a cash check and began to fill out the check.Sun Ping first donated US$10 to five medical charities including the American Cancer Society, the American College of Cardiology, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the Alzheimer's Association, and the St. Jude Children's Research Medical Center. Two charities including the Children's Hunger Foundation and Food for the Poor each donated $20.

Under everyone's notarization, Sun Ping sent cash checks to the above-mentioned seven charitable organizations, and then Sun Ping said with a smile: "The price of gold has fallen today. Apart from my own registration fee, there is not much left. I hope everyone can let me leave the travel expenses and board and lodging expenses, you don’t want to see tomorrow’s newspaper reporting that ‘the newly minted millionaire was destitute overnight, begging to go back to New York’?”

Sun Ping's generosity and humor conquered all the people present, and everyone stood up to pay tribute to Sun Ping.After Sun Ping said goodbye to everyone, he got into Ford's Conqueror SUV with his HP ghost notebook and Macy's shopping card.After filling up the gas with the help of the hotel, Sun Ping drove back to New York.Sun Ping didn't want to stay in Atlantic City any longer. God knows what methods these casino bosses would come up with to invite him to visit him for entertainment.I believe that these people should have investigated their own backgrounds. He was the most popular customer of the casino owner, so Sun Ping didn't want the wealth he had saved to be given to the casino for no reason.

Because he returned to New York overnight, Sun Ping listened to the radio while driving.Fortunately, the highway between Atlantic City and New York is always busy, and there are very delicious roadside restaurants waiting for drivers from time to time.Sun Ping ate, drank and drank along the way, enjoying the delicacies of the melting pot country.Whether it's a Cuban pork head sandwich, or the secret honey barbecue ribs handed down by a Hispanic guy on the roadside, they are all very delicious.

You must know that Americans (or Westerners) hardly eat pork. On the one hand, it has something to do with their poor cooking of pork, and on the other hand, it has something to do with local animal protection organizations.Why would animal protection organizations be involved?Everyone knows that whether pork tastes good or not is related to two things, one is castration, and the other is bloodletting.Animal protection groups considered these two incidents to be inhumane to animals. Under their push, legislation banned the castration of piglets and the bleeding of pigs when they were slaughtered.As a result, pork in the United States is much fishier. If it is not for some special cooking methods, there is no way to eat it.

In addition to Mexican and Hispanic cuisine, Sun Ping also discovered authentic American burgers.The fresh steak is fried and put into the bread, then put cheese, lettuce and sauce, after a little grilling, the aroma of milk wrapped in the meat makes Sun Ping appetite in the middle of the night.However, the number of calories in this hamburger is directly off the charts.In comparison, beef is healthier than pork, but another major American staple food, dairy (cheese), is not so healthy.

Sun Ping thinks that the culprit behind Americans being more prone to obesity than Orientals is cheese.When Americans cook, they dare to put cheese in any food, and even eat cheese directly when watching TV.To Sun Ping, this thing is simply tiresome.On the way, in addition to the Hispanic boy's secret honey barbecue ribs, Sun Ping also found a seafood shop opened by a Hispanic.Grilled fish and lobster rolls make Sun Ping feel like returning to his hometown. If paired with beer, this thing is too much like a skewer.Next to the Spanish uncle, there is an ice shop opened by a Japanese. Even though it is winter, Sun Ping boldly ordered a taro ball jelly grass ice.

When he arrived in New York City, Sun Ping found that a French-style pastry shop had opened, and as the queen of French desserts, Sun Ping naturally would not miss it.Sun Ping was amazed by the complexity of the French macarons. After eating two vanilla flavors, he specially ordered exotic flavors such as jalapeno, pepper, and mustard. He planned to take them back for Fan Yilun and the others to try. .

When Sun Ping arrived at their hotel, Fan Yilun and his team had already gone to the U.S. Open for adaptive training, while Jin Weijia, accompanied by her parents, went to a piano school she contacted before going abroad to practice piano .Seeing that his two disciples were not there, Sun Ping had no choice but to pick out all the macarons with exotic flavors, and sent the macarons with popular tastes to share with everyone.Although these macrons are not made by top French pastry chefs, they are still very good.

Professor Gao is not against sweets. While eating strawberry Macron, he teased Sun Ping, "You are dishonest, and you said you have something to do, but you actually went to Atlantic City to play cards! Just play cards, and play cards." A world champion! But you did a good job in the last thing, this kind of windfall is to spread the money, so it’s good that you donate it to charity.”

Although Professor Gao is a newcomer, he is still of the old generation after all.Professor Gao was originally dissatisfied with Sun Ping going to Atlantic City to play poker, but seeing that Sun Ping won the world championship and donated the championship bonus to charity, all dissatisfaction disappeared.

It's a pity that the people around Sun Ping don't care, but there are many boring people on the Internet who insist on meddling.They pointed the finger at Sun Ping for donating to American charities, and said why the media praised Sun Ping one after another because Sun Ping "capital controls the media".After seeing these remarks on the Internet, Sun Ping can only say that some netizens have too much brains, and even a conspiracy theory can be so true.

The United States also has the so-called conspiracy theory that Jews control freedom of speech, but in reality?The three major news media in the United States have different positions and opinions. How can they achieve "speaking in one voice"?For example, cnn believes that news is news, and should not increase the opinions of reporters and anchors; while msnbc and ws are against it, they believe that there is a difference between information and news, information can be unedited, but news must be selected by media elites and comments.

In terms of news, CNN claims to be absolutely neutral; MSNBC is oriented towards freedom of speech; WS is completely conservative in speech.In addition, the United States can also watch BBC World, WS, Sky News and France 24 TV stations in Europe; Arab Satellite TV and Al Jazeera TV in the Middle East;Therefore, it is difficult to imagine the difficulty of blocking the news media.

And the reason why Sun Ping donated to American charitable media instead of domestic charitable media was finally given by rational analysts, because Sun Ping is not an American citizen, and he needs to pay foreigner income tax.At the same time, the charitable organizations in Cathay are not tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. federal tax law. Therefore, if Sun Ping wants to donate money to China, he must first be tax-deducted by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.Therefore, it is better to donate directly to American charities.What's more, the institutions donated by Sun Ping are divided into two categories, one is disease research, and the results of their research belong to all mankind, which will definitely benefit the citizens of the country; money for people around the world.

"Okay, don't care about what those netizens say about you. In an open and anonymous public place where accountability is difficult to be held accountable, people can easily fall into a state of collective unconsciousness. It's not that they lack knowledge and judgment, but that they don't Willing to use it." Professor Gao comforted Sun Ping, "So with the development of the Internet and the disorder of news dissemination, populism and extremism have found their nests of rapid growth on the Internet. You can find a lawyer to send a lawyer's letter and a public statement Forget it, don’t worry too much about it.”

Sun Ping also knows that the method provided by Professor Gao is the best method, because it is easy to "talk too much and make mistakes" on the Internet.Because netizens are more willing to show their "anti-intellectual", "violent" and "extreme" sides on the Internet, and at the same time, the abuse of sophistry makes it impossible for discussions on the Internet to be conducted under the Westminster Rules, and it also makes online debates ultimately impossible. They all end in violence.Sun Ping sent an email to his lawyer, telling them not to worry about it after they deal with it.

"Don't make any mistakes in tomorrow's speech. There may be other mathematicians asking you questions." Professor Gao instructed, "For questions you don't want to answer, you can ask him to leave his contact address, and you can answer him afterwards. This is the meeting Allowed, don't cause arguments in the venue, which is not good for newcomers like you."
