255 How much money to make?
Zhang Hao looked at the bill sent by the private accountant with a sad face, full of pressure; looking at Zhang Hao's sad face, Christina was a little strange, she was smiling as if she had picked up a large sum of money, how could she be a sad face in a blink of an eye?
"Honey, what's wrong?"
Zhang Hao smiled bitterly and said very stressedly, "I'm thinking about how much money those bastards at the IRS are going to take from me this time, and I'm thinking about how I can pay a little less tax." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Christina didn't feel that much pressure, but asked a little strangely, "Don't we have a lot of tax-free spending, I think maybe there aren't as many taxes as we imagined, and our accountants will take care of all this." And now is not the time to file your taxes, there is still a long time for you to figure it out. β
Zhang Hao complained bitterly, he knew that the U.S. government encouraged consumption, so in general, the tax in the United States is not based on the total amount of money earned, but the money earned minus some of the money left over from consumption, which is to be taxed. Of course, not all consumption is supported, for example, buying a luxury car should still be paid.
However, Zhang Hao knows very well 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. Even if there are private accountants and lawyers to help you think of some tax avoidance policies, there is still a lot of money to pay in taxes.
Looking at Christina, Zhang Hao said with a wry smile, "We will definitely have to pay a lot of taxes this year, you know? I simply calculated, our income this year is more than 10 million US dollars!"
Christina's eyes widened, and Yu Xiu, who was watching the cartoon with Xixi, heard it, and she was surprised.
"Xiaohao, you're not mistaken, you made 10 million this year?"
Zhang Hao really didn't know what to say, so he pointed to the bill and said, "It's not 10 million, but it's about the same." The Breeder's Cup, the Triple Crown, and the money from the sale of the Super Swordsman, which is almost nine million. β
Yu Xiu hurriedly came over to take a look, although he didn't know much English, but the numbers were fine.
Christina also came, although in the United States, even husbands and wives manage their own income, and it is not very popular to put the money earned on a card. But Christina now understands to some extent that the money Zhang Hao made is indeed on his card, but Zhang Hao doesn't particularly care about these things, at least if the family wants to know, he won't keep it a secret.
Yu Xiu and Christina looked at each other, of course they knew that Zhang Hao made a lot of money, but it seemed that they didn't have so much income at home.
But when you think about it, it's normal that horse racing alone brings unimaginable income, and a lot of money is actually spent, such as building houses, buying horse racing horses and feed mills, and paying off loans, so you earn more and spend more, and your family still thinks it's really 'tight'.
"That's a little too much. I thought you made millions, but you didn't know it was tens of millions!"
Zhang Hao looked at his mother and said speechlessly, "Mom, when I couldn't make money before, I always thought about how to make a little more, but now I have earned a lot, are you still too much?"
Yu Xiu patted Zhang Hao's head angrily and said, "How can there be too much reason, I just want to make so much money in a daze! I know you've made a lot of money, but I don't know how much you've earned!"
This time, Zhang Hao got up, and said very stinkily, "You can spend money if you want to spend it in the future, and my son still has the ability to make money." We'll definitely earn more in a few years, but the income on the ranch hasn't gone up yet. β
Yu Xiu wanted to hit Zhang Hao and said, "Then you have earned so much, why do I always feel that you don't have enough money?"
Zhang Haocai is not so fragile, he said confidently, "Isn't it that it costs a lot to build a house and buy a yacht, besides, I am still buying horses, and the horses in the horse farm are very expensive, and they are very valuable!"
That's true, Zhang Hao earns a lot, but he spends a lot.
Because of the previous 'thin family foundation', there are some places to spend in advance, and if you want to earn more, then you definitely need some investment, which is of course quite expensive.
It is not so much that Zhang Hao is "short of money", but that he just lacks so much money to continue to develop and invest;
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 worth a lot. β
Zhang Hao is very sure and very confident, "I can't guarantee that I will be worth such a super swordsman, but I think I will definitely make more and more money in the future." It doesn't matter if a horse is not that valuable, isn't there two horses, and neither is necessarily worse. If a single horse is counted, I will definitely earn a million yuan. The ranch will be able to expand the scale of breeding next year, and the cultivation of cattle breeds will be much better, and more and more money will definitely be earned. In the past two years, I have been laying the foundation, and I haven't made much money!"
Feeling that his son was bragging, Yu Xiu scolded with a smile and said, "This doesn't make much money, you just brag, if you don't make money, you still make so much money a year! I used to think that forty or fifty thousand dollars could live very well, but now that you spend forty or fifty thousand dollars, you probably won't blink." β
Zhang Hao disagrees with his mother's evaluation; he does make a lot of money, but it is definitely not enough to say that forty or fifty thousand dollars is not serious.
Usually when I go to a restaurant with Christina, Zhang Hao of course goes to the locals and gives tips, but the amount of tips is not very much, basically 10 to 20 percent. He won't take out hundreds or thousands of dollars, he is not so nouveau riche, even if those 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 'lavish' in spending money, he used to be eager to break a dollar in half and spend it, but now he feels satisfied, thousands or tens of thousands of dollars are also spent, without hesitation.
In the final analysis, I still earn more now, and the concept of consumption has changed somewhat. This kind of thing is not only Zhang Hao, but also Zhang Hao's parents; even if it is impossible to change some habits of diligence and thrift all at once, they will not be as careful as before.
She was still discussing with her mother whether she would make more money in the future, while Christina was thinking about it.
"Hao, if we get married, we have to sign a prenuptial property agreement. β
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, a little unhappy, "No, we are not married yet, you are thinking about divorce." β
Christina glared at Zhang Hao angrily, and said as a matter of course, "I think it's necessary, you already had good economic conditions when we met, but you haven't been like this yet." You know I'm not with you because of your money, and I don't want to change that. It's all you earned, and we have to sign a prenuptial property agreement!"
Zhang Hao understood what Christina meant, and signed a prenuptial property agreement, which proved that the vast majority of the property in the ranch now belongs to Zhang Hao, not the property shared by two people. Even if the relationship between the two breaks down one day and divides the property, 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 this, but he feels a little embarrassed, and he is not married yet, so he is thinking about divorce. I'm not married yet, but now I'm counting that the car is mine, and the blanket is yours...... How unpleasant.
However, Christina thinks it is normal, she does not think that signing a prenuptial property agreement will affect the relationship between two people, and signing this prenuptial property agreement does not mean that she has no confidence in the marriage of two people, but Christina feels that she has to do it.
Zhang Hao didn't answer this much, but he knew that it would be more beneficial to him, and no one dared to guarantee the future, and if he signed this agreement, he could at least ensure that the ranch was under his control, this was not the wealth created by the husband and wife, this was Zhang Hao's personal wealth.
This matter has a long way to go, and it needs to be considered slowly, of course, Zhang Hao will not be too emotional, and he also needs to be rational enough. After all, now that you have children, of course, you also need to think about them.
This matter is actually a small matter, Zhang Hao and Christina don't care too much, for them, living a good life is the most important thing, and this is what the two of them care about the most now.
In addition to work and life, for example, Zhang Hao, who wants to become an expert in 'four-point ball', has also taken a few small videos in the past two days, and the fancy midfielder threw into the 'four-point goal', although he has failed many times before, but what he posted on the Internet is naturally the moment of the goal, which is enough for Zhang Hao to stink.
Zhang Hao is still a little famous on the Internet, at least in the basketball circle, because this guy's four-point shot is so powerful, once or twice may still be able to say luck, but watching this hateful guy throw in a midfield goal every once in a while, or throw it in various postures, this makes people envious, jealous and hateful.
More and more people are following this bastard who always throws a fancy four-point shot on Reddit, and now some people are lamenting how big the world is, and for the average person, throwing a 'four-pointer' in the same position is a miracle.
But some people always create 'miracles', and it's not even a miracle anymore, look at that guy throwing in a four-point shot lightly; watching some knowledgeable people analyze the authenticity of the video and the statistics they do, is there any mistake, this guy threw in more than 30 four-point shots in less than half a month, two a day!
This is about to explode, such a bastard has appeared, how can ordinary people live!
