American Comic Survival Guide Chapter 229

For several days, poor Carrie was immersed in the worry of bankruptcy. In order to prevent the father and daughter from being desperate, Carrie deliberately ate less food these days.

After staying up until the weekend, Carrie finally couldn't help showing off her cards with Goofy sitting on the sofa.

"Dad, Dad, is our family about to be eaten and poor by me?"

Gao Fei looked back at Carrie with a bewildered face: "Why do you think this way?"

"I saw you go to the supermarket to buy a lottery ticket..." Carrie said, pointing to Goofy's pocket, "Did we have no money to spend, so you went to buy a lottery ticket? You've never bought a lottery ticket before. ."

Gao Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Carrie's head: "Silly girl, people who are about to go bankrupt don't buy lottery tickets. People who buy lottery tickets are people who are at least a little rich. I bought lottery tickets on a whim. For no other reason."

"So that's how it is..." Carrie finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I wouldn't have eaten less on purpose if I knew it earlier."

Gao Fei couldn't help but stunned when he heard this: "Wait... You said that you... are deliberately eating less these days?"

"That's right!" Carrie stared aggrievedly, "Don't you realize that I used to eat ten pizzas for every meal, but recently I only eat nine!"

"This…"

Gao Fei is about to be amused, is this deliberately eating less?

Girl, do you think that reducing the cost of meals by one-tenth every day can successfully resolve the family's economic crisis?

"Silly girl..." Gao Fei pinched Carrie's cheek, "Don't worry, Dad won't let our family go bankrupt."

Having said that, he picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. Ten minutes later, it was time to announce the winning numbers.

"Your father has a good way to make money, come on, the next moment is to witness the miracle!"

Carrie shook her head and sighed when she saw Goofy's high spirits.

She felt that her old father was too naive, and the lottery winning rate was extremely low.

Thousands of people are buying lottery tickets in New York every day. The prize pool of lottery prizes is accumulating more and more, but very few of them win. The chance of winning is not as high as the chance of being struck by lightning...

There's really no hope for a pie from the sky.

"Father Goofy, I think you should be realistic, work hard, and strive for an early promotion to become a sheriff..." Carrie persuaded earnestly.

But Gao Fei threw himself on the lottery ticket, his eyes locked firmly on the TV screen.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the lottery time came!

Gao Fei stared at the lottery ticket in his hand and checked the numbers one by one in sequence.

"23, 37, 19..."

The more Gao Fei watched, the more excited he became. Although he had seen the same routine countless times in Time Travel Rebirth, he never thought that he would be so excited when he experienced it himself!

In the new timeline, many things are different from the previous timeline. Before the last number is read, Gao Fei is not sure whether the winning numbers in this issue will change.

But as the last number on the TV fell, Goofy couldn't help but jump for joy—the winning numbers didn't change, and the jackpot for this issue is exactly the same as the previous timeline!

"We hit! We hit!"

Goofy looked back at Carrie, happy like a fool.

"We won the lottery!"

"real?!"

The naive Carrie, who had disliked her father before, jumped up immediately, and she glanced at the lottery ticket in Goofy's hand in disbelief.

"We really won the lottery? Dad, are you sure you read it right?"

"It's definitely not wrong, absolutely can't be wrong!" Gao Fei was afraid that Carrie would eat the lottery ticket when she was excited, so he held the lottery ticket firmly in his hand, and at the same time scanned the winning numbers on the TV again.

A word is correct, Goofy really won the jackpot.

"Carrie, we've made a fortune!" Goofy laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

"It's too lucky! Dad Goofy, I can eat as much as I want in the future!" Carrie said cheerfully.

"That's right, eat whatever you want!" Gao Fei carefully collected the lottery tickets, and then picked up Carrie to celebrate.

Soon, relevant personnel contacted Gao Fei.

The current prize pool has accumulated 70 million in prize money, but Goofy needs to share this huge sum with three other people.

Although the butterfly effect did not change the winning numbers, it changed the number of winners—only one person hit the jackpot on the previous timeline, taking 70 million, but on this timeline, the number of winners has become four, and each person is divided into four. The amount in hand also became 17.5 million.

But 17.5 million is already a huge sum of money for Gao Fei, which is enough for him and Carrie to eat sea plugs. In fact, to get this amount of income, what Gao Fei needs to worry about is not how to go Spend, but how to invest.

It is impossible to spend so much money on spending, and the remaining money must be invested in order to earn more wealth, at least to avoid depreciation.

But Gao Fei couldn't be too happy. The 17.5 million was just pre-tax income. Next, he had to pay enough taxes to make this money his legal income.

Now Goofy has two options - one is to pocket the money all at once, or the other is to receive it over 30 years. But no matter which way he receives it, he has to pay close to 50% of the tax.

After thinking about it, Gao Fei chose to receive it all at once.

First pay 24% federal tax, then pay personal income tax up to 39.6%, and then pay 8.82% New York state tax...

Subtract these taxes, is the final high-flying real income.

After deducting various taxes, Gao Fei's final income was about 9 million.

Although this amount is far lower than the winning amount, he is already satisfied.

On the day the bonus came in, he took Carrie to the best restaurant in Manhattan, where Pepper had helped to reserve the seat, and Goofy had to wait in line until next month for his reservation.

Although the father-daughter meal style has always been about weight and quality, the two of them were very happy to eat this luxurious lunch. Carrie imitated the ordinary little girl to eat steak quietly, like a dignified and virtuous person. little princess.

"Dad, Dad, I'm considered a rich second generation from now on, right?" Carrie asked Goofy excitedly after swallowing her steak and taking a sip of her drink.

Gao Fei smiled kindly.

"Um... that's it."

"Then do you want to buy a fancy luxury car? In the future, you will take me to and from school? Hire another mobile phone, wear a suit and white gloves, and open and close the door for me!" The little girl asked daydreamingly.

"Of course not." Gao Fei decisively rejected her. "Your father is a low-key person. He even redeems awards anonymously. Showing off wealth is not my style. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"Then... how are you going to spend the nine million yuan? Dad, can you buy an entire apartment building for more than nine million yuan?" Carrie asked with her head tilted.

Goofy nodded, more than nine million can indeed buy an apartment building in Brooklyn.

In fact, a lot of investors do this, and this is a very common investment method in New York - buy an apartment building and rent out these apartments to earn rent, but New York's property tax is a headache, and the turnover Bad apartment buildings often make ends meet.

In fact, Gao Fei has also thought about how to spend after winning the lottery. Who hasn't had a daydream when his idea was to buy a building in New York, buy it a sky-high insurance policy, and wait until the Chitauri invaded. After the bombing of New York, Goofy can wait for the insurance claim.

But the Qitarians are still two years away, and Gao Fei dare not ensure that the insurance company will not go bankrupt by then, not to mention that the insurance contract does not specify the situation of alien invasion, and it will be over if the given situation becomes force majeure by then. .

Therefore, Gao Fei had to make other plans for the disposal of the more than nine million yuan.
