Rural life in America

Chapter 246 Earned Too Much Money?

Zhang Hao looked at the bill sent by the private accountant with a sad face, full of pressure; seeing Zhang Hao's sad face, Christina was a little strange, she was smiling as if she had picked up a large sum of money, why did she turn sad in a blink of an eye Virtue?

"Dear, what's wrong?"

Zhang Hao smiled wryly, and said under pressure, "I'm thinking about how much money those bastards from the IRS are going to take from me this time, and I'm thinking about how I can pay less tax."

Christina didn't feel so much pressure, but asked a little strangely, "Don't we have a lot of tax-free consumption? I think maybe there are not as many taxes as imagined. Our accountant will take care of all this. And it's not the time to file taxes. , there is still a long time for you to figure out a way."

Zhang Hao complained endlessly. He knew that the U.S. government encourages consumption, so in general, U.S. taxes are not based on the total amount of money earned, but the money earned minus some consumption leftovers. tax.Of course, not all consumption is supported. For example, if you buy a luxury car, you still have to pay.

But Zhang Hao is very clear that the tax policy in the United States is too complicated, and it is difficult for non-professionals to know how much tax they have to pay.Including even if there are private accountants and lawyers to help think of some tax avoidance policies, there is still a large amount of tax to be paid.

Looking at Christina, Zhang Hao said with a wry smile, "We must pay a lot of taxes this year, you know? I did a simple calculation, and our annual income exceeded 1000 million US dollars!"

Christina's eyes widened, and Yu Xiu, who was watching cartoons with Xixi, heard it, and she was surprised.

"Xiaohao, did you calculate correctly, did you earn 1000 million this year?"

Zhang Hao really didn't know what to say. He pointed to the bill and said, "It's not 1000 million, but it's about the same. The Breeders' Cup, the Triple Crown and the money from selling the super swordsman are almost 900." It's all over."

Yu Xiu hurried over to have a look. Although she didn't know much English, the numbers were fine.

Christina also came over. Although in the United States, even husband and wife manage their own income, it is not very popular to put the money earned on one card.But Christina now more or less understands that Zhang Hao's money is indeed on his card, but Zhang Hao doesn't pay much attention to these things, at least he won't keep it secret if his family wants to know.

Yu Xiu and Christina looked at each other in blank dismay. Of course they knew that Zhang Hao made a lot of money, but they seemed to feel that the family should not have such a large income.

But it’s normal to think about it. Horse racing alone brings in unimaginable income; a lot of money is actually spent, such as building houses, buying horse racing and feed factories, and repaying loans. There are many flowers and many flowers, and the family thought it was really "tight".

"This is a bit too much. I thought you made a few million, but I didn't know it was tens of millions!"

Zhang Hao looked at his mother and said speechlessly, "Mom, when I couldn't make any money before, I always thought about how to make more money, but now I make a lot of money, don't you think it's too much?"

Yu Xiu patted Zhang Hao's head angrily and said, "There's no reason to dislike too much, I was just thinking how to make so much money in a daze! You have been doing this all the time, and I just took care of it at home. Dai Xixi. I know you've made a lot, but you just don't know you've made so much!"

At this moment, Zhang Hao became startled, and said in a bad manner, "You can spend money if you want in the future, and my son still has the ability to make money. We will definitely earn more in a few years, and the income from the ranch has not yet get up."

Yu Xiu wanted to hit Zhang Hao, and said, "Then you earn so much, why do I always feel that you don't have enough money?"

Zhang Hao is not that fragile, he said confidently, "Isn't it a lot of money to build a house and buy a yacht? Besides, I'm still buying horses, and the horses in the racecourse are all expensive. Very valuable!"

This is indeed the case. It is true that Zhang Hao earns a lot, but also spends a lot.

Because of the "weak family background" in the past, there are some places to spend in advance; and if you want to earn more, you will definitely need some investment, which of course is quite expensive.

Rather than saying that Zhang Hao is 'lack of money', it is better to say that he just lacks a little money to continue to develop and invest; in life, his family is really not short of money, and they are rich.

Yu Xiu asked with some uncertainty, "Will we be able to earn so much next year? It's hard to say, not every time there is a super swordsman, that horse is valuable."

Zhang Hao is very sure and confident, "I can't guarantee the value of a super swordsman, but I think I will make more and more money in the future. It doesn't matter if a horse is not that valuable, isn't it two horses?" , and it’s not necessarily worse. Counting a single horse race, I can definitely earn a million or so. The ranch will be able to expand the scale of breeding in the next year or the next year, and the breeding of cattle is much better, and the earning will definitely increase. .These two years are just laying the foundation, not making much money!"

Sensing that her son was bragging, Yu Xiu laughed and cursed, "Isn't that making much money? Just brag, you still make so much a year if you don't make money! I used to think that forty to fifty thousand dollars would be enough to live a good life. Knowing that $[-] to $[-] is spent now, you probably won’t even blink your eyelids.”

Zhang Hao does not agree with his mother's evaluation; he has indeed made a lot of money, but it is certainly not enough to say that $[-] to $[-] is not a serious matter.

Usually, when he and Christina go to restaurants for dinner, Zhang Hao of course gives tips as the Romans do; but the amount of tips will not be particularly large, basically 20.00% to [-]%.He wouldn't take out hundreds of dollars or thousands of dollars, he's not that rich, even if the waiters are very enthusiastic and the service is good, Zhang Hao will only give tips that are not stingy.

But I have to admit that what my mother said is also reasonable. Now Zhang Hao is really spending money "lavishly". In the past, he wanted to spend a dollar in half. Now he feels satisfied, and he can spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. Without hesitation.

After all, I still earn a lot now, and my consumption concept has changed somewhat.This kind of thing is not just Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao's parents are also like this; even if it is impossible to change some habits of thrift all at once, they will not be as careful as before.

I was still discussing with my mother whether I would make more money in the future, while Christina was thinking aside.

"Hao, if we get married, we have to sign a prenuptial property agreement."

Zhang Hao was taken aback, a little unhappy; "No, we are not married yet, you are thinking about divorce."

Christina gave Zhang Hao an angry look, and said as a matter of course, "I think it is necessary. When we met, you already had a good financial situation, but it is not like this. You know that I am not because of your money. With you, I don't want to change these. You earned these, we must sign a prenuptial property agreement!"

Zhang Hao understood what Christina meant, and signing a pre-nuptial property agreement was to prove that most of the property on the ranch now belonged to Zhang Hao, not property shared by two people.Even if one day the relationship between the two breaks up and the property is divided, this part has nothing to do with Christina, because the current wealth was created by Zhang Hao before they got married.

In fact, Zhang Hao can understand these things, but he feels a little awkward; he is not married yet, so he is thinking about divorce.Not married yet, and now I'm counting this car as mine and that blanket as yours. How annoying.

But Christina thinks it's normal, she doesn't think that signing a prenuptial property agreement will affect the relationship between the two; signing this prenuptial property agreement does not mean that they have no confidence in the marriage of the two, but that Christina feels that it must be done.

Zhang Hao didn't answer this question very much, but he knew that it would be more beneficial to him; no one can guarantee the future, and if he signs this agreement, he can at least ensure that the ranch is under his control, isn't it? The wealth jointly created by the husband and wife belongs to Zhang Hao's personal wealth.

This matter will last a long time, and needs to be considered slowly; of course, Zhang Hao will not be too emotional, he also needs enough reason.After all, now that you have a child, of course you also need to consider the child.

This matter is actually a trivial matter, Zhang Hao and Christina did not pay much attention to it; for them, the most important thing is to live the current small life well, and this is what the two of them care about most now.

In addition to work and life, for example, Zhang Hao, who wants to become a "four-pointer" expert, has also made a few small videos in the past two days, throwing a "four-pointer" in a fancy midfielder, although he has failed many times before. , but what was posted on the Internet is naturally the moment of the goal, which is enough to make Zhang Hao a stinky fart.

Zhang Hao is quite well-known on the Internet, at least in the basketball circle; because this guy's four-pointers are too good, maybe he can still be called luck once or twice, but seeing this nasty guy throwing in every now and then A midfield goal is still thrown in with various postures, which makes people envious and jealous.

More and more people on Reddit are paying attention to this jerk who always throws fancy fours, and now some people are lamenting that the world is full of wonders; The split' was nothing short of a miracle.

But some people always create 'miracles', not even miraculous. Look at that guy throwing a four-pointer in an understatement; watching some knowledgeable people analyze the authenticity of the video and the statistics made, have you done anything? Wrong, this guy threw more than 30 four-pointers in less than half a month, two in a day!
This is about to explode with swearing, such a bastard has appeared, how can ordinary people live!
