Chapter 577: Breaking the Shackles
“Why don’t you give us money?”
"It's all your fault. All the spots have been taken!"
"This is a holographic bracelet lottery bonus from Umbrella!"
"Since you didn't get Umbrella's, you have to compensate!"
“…”
After the 100 million places were finally divided among the people, by the time Da Piaoliang got there, only 1 million were left.
No matter how beautiful it is, it is still a country with a population of hundreds of millions, especially Lin Shiqin, who can really leave a backdoor to collect big data.
Most of the 'randomly' selected people are those who like to take short videos for their own amusement, have low incomes, and will squander the money as soon as they get it.
This type of VV video host has dozens or hundreds of fans, but usually has only a single-digit number of likes. Although not many people watch their videos, most of the people who know and follow them are in this circle.
As a result, others are able to earn 150 dollars a month for free, but I lost the opportunity because of those good-for-nothings?
Can't this be made up from somewhere else?
Of course, the US authorities will not meet such a request.
In this case, we can only satisfy this demand through some shops.
Various zero-yuan purchase incidents have emerged again, and even chain supermarkets of Walmart's scale can't cope with it and have closed stores in several districts with the worst security.
When these stores that are related to daily life start to close, it will naturally lead to a lot of subsequent troubles, forcing the local authorities to order Walmart to open.
But even though they were ordered to open for business, they would not provide any protection. Instead, they would not allow people who purchased goods for free to be shot at will, which is equivalent to reverse funding .
The most exaggerated thing is that the IRS has issued new "guidelines" due to the sudden surge in zero-dollar purchases in recent years.
Even if the income is illegally earned through robbery or theft, taxes must be paid...
Various outrageous operations were carried out frequently, and the information revealed really made people all over the world dumbfounded.
Because the cause of the commotion at Da Piaoliang's place was related to the recently popular Umbrella's 'specially recruited testers'.
Therefore, the information also began to spread in the East and the corresponding TT areas along with TT.
Originally, the hot topics in China in recent days were "#Have you been selected?", "#Getting a thousand yuan for free every month, so good!", "#Why didn't you choose me?", "#If I am selected, can I go home and lie down?" and so on.
Even with a very high per capita income, we cannot ignore the 150 US dollars. This exchange rate translates into 1,000 yuan for free every month in China, which most people cannot resist.
In particular, Umbrella did agree to the small conditions initially proposed by the East, giving priority to various personnel who could be replaced by robots.
This shot of confidence has made many people feel free to worry.
After all, it has been said that this is a long-term study of at least three years.
Although the price is that the body data will be monitored by the holographic bracelet, which is equivalent to leaking a lot of personal privacy.
The data collected mainly include personal exercise status and physical condition, as well as blood pressure, heart rate, etc., and mainly includes regular blood draws.
These data do not involve the hidden secrets in everyone's heart.
Besides, to put it bluntly, what qualifications do ordinary people have to make Umbrella keep their secrets in mind?
Even take a step back.
There are so many apps and software that collect personal information, but I haven’t seen them pay money.
So when you have money, all that’s left is just how delicious it is!
But in this kind of heat, suddenly, the two entries of '#You have to pay tax for zero-yuan purchases' and '#Da Piaoliang's eyes are red with jealousy' also climbed up rapidly on Da Piaoliang's side.
"Haha, it was so funny. I reluctantly agreed, but in the end, the number of places was only one-thirtieth of ours. "
"Don't they buy a villa after washing dishes for three years? It's not that bad."
"There are still villas for 1 USD, do you dare to buy them..."
"Taking tax on zero-dollar purchases? That's crazy, right? Is this encouragement? How do we collect it?"
“…”
Because of these, there will also be some corresponding science popularization anchors who will take advantage of the popularity.
For example, 'Boston Fatty' opened a separate episode to explain
"I've seen people questioning whether zero dollars is enough to collect taxes, and the IRS's ability to do so. This is actually a bit of an overreaction. The IRS is an extremely powerful institution in Da Piaoliang. It can ask the FBI and CIA to assist in handling cases, but not vice versa. The IRS is authorized by the emperor to act first and report later...
"So, in theory, as long as you pay your taxes, it means that the IRS will no longer investigate you. In terms of investigative capabilities, the IRS is extremely strong, not only because they have their own independent force, prison, and trial system, but also because they can complete abnormal monitoring of accounts. This is also the reason why some black transactions in the United States are keen on cash, and why using large-denomination cash is easily suspected of laundering."
As more and more voices appeared, people began to react.
In fact, just like in the big-name movies, the FBI and CIA are often played as funny villains, but no movie has ever dared to criticize the IRS.
Just like you can slander the people who make the decisions, the authorities, the politicians and various parliamentarians, but you cannot slander the YT people.
This is taboo.
After eating such a big bowl of melon, I saw that Da Piaoliang had such a big reaction to the recruitment of "tester" this time.
The many lucky people in China who have shared the largest proportion and number of 'tester' places are naturally happier.
I have what others don’t!
But many of those who were not selected put on masks of pain and left sour messages everywhere.
On the contrary, these messages can bring more happiness to the lucky ones who are chosen.
Some lucky ones will also specially make short videos or live broadcasts.
After Umbrella's various measures came out, a video host named "Running with the Bucket" stood out and received special traffic push.
"Brothers, I'm glad. Our factory has already started to introduce robots. Although we haven't started to lay off employees yet, I don't want to wait until it's so passive. I'm leaving early. Let me make it clear that our factory is a good factory. Please don't curse it, so I won't mention its name."
"Pick up the bucket and run away" he said while patting the mechanical leg he had just replaced.
Different from other videos that have special bonuses to show off, "Running away with the bucket" is the most standard ordinary aluminum alloy version.
"As you can see, I was a cripple before, but our factory hired me and assigned me a job on the assembly line, which at least allowed me to support myself. This time I resigned on my own because I didn't want to cause them any trouble."
Afterwards, he turned on the hologram again, revealing that he had been selected as a 'tester'.
"Maybe it was because I had a new prosthetic limb, I was lucky enough to be selected as a tester, with a monthly salary of 1,000 yen. I gritted my teeth and made a decision. I sold the house left by my parents..."
After saying that, he moved the camera again, and an Umbrella's 'Sweeper' Type A robot appeared!
This immediately attracted a lot of "wow" and "shock".
It is obvious that this disabled person does not live a wealthy life. Perhaps he can save some money in the electronics factory by spending less on weekdays, but a robot like the 'Sweeper' that costs a huge amount of 700,000 yuan is theoretically not of much use to him.
But he chose to sell his house and buy such a robot. It is really hard to understand...
