Chapter 62: The Legendary Claire Hot Dog Shop
(Asking for tickets at night, it's the conscience of the industry, asking for collections and recommendations)
Daniel received a call from David when he was on an electric call at Paul Walker's house.
He also worked as a hot dog chef at Claire's hot dog shop, and had a Latino girlfriend before, but then the girl fell in love with a white boy, so he reverted to being single again.
They've been in constant contact, and unlike Mark, he's a workaholic.
When he picked up David's phone, David's screaming made him almost throw his phone away.
"I won the lottery, Danny. OMG, I'm a multimillionaire now, oh my God, oh my God. β
"What?" Daniel yelled in shock, and Paul threw away the gamepad in fright, "You said you hit the Powerball?" β
"Oh my God. You're coming to see me? Of course, of course welcome, I rented a house in Malibu and you can stay with me. Daniel listened to Davy vent a lot of money over there before he hung up numbly.
Paul couldn't wait, and from the clues he'd heard, it seemed that Daniel had a friend who had won the Powerball jackpot.
"How much?"
"He will share $150 million with the other two lucky winners."
"150 million? One-third, that is, 50 million, even if you deduct federal taxes, New York, it's New York, right, New York's state taxes, and personal income tax, he can have at least 35 million left. Paul quickly calculated for David, "So, he's a multi-millionaire now?" β
"Yes."
Daniel almost wondered if David had been worn, and that he was one of the lucky ones who remembered the winning Powerball numbers.
"I have to meet him, I've never seen anyone win the jackpot in my life, it's legendary."
β¦β¦
After Daniel finally calmed down, David flew from New York to Los Angeles, and he personally drove to pick him up.
David kept touching the rented Bentley, "This car is so cool." β
"You can buy one for yourself now, or of course, you can buy two and smash the other one for fun."
"Daniel, why do you think I'm so lucky?"
"Uh, maybe, you're a good guy?" Daniel changed lanes while perfunctory him.
David was convinced, "Yes, I'm a devout Calvinist." β
After entering Malibu, the traffic dropped sharply, and David was dizzying about the place.
"I know, this is Cameron Diaz's mansion, it's Jennifer Aniston's, and I love her Rachel the most." Davy's study of the Malibu mansion is deeper than Daniel's, at least he has no way of knowing which one belongs to whom.
"Hey, there's a detailed description of their mansion on LAH, and it's clear how big the private pool is."
βLAHοΌβ
"Please, Daniel, how isolated you are, you are in Los Angeles, you don't even know LAH, LAH, Los Angeles and Hollywood, is the city forum of Los Angeles, and there are all kinds of information about Hollywood stars in detail. Oh, by the way, some time ago, you were considered a real elf by New Zealanders, and it became a hot topic on the forum. β
"Here, David, this is my house, it's a little small."
"It's a bit small compared to the big stars. But I already know that your house is only a third of Jennifer's. "David ran around inside and out.
Daniel sat on the sofa and looked at David and suddenly felt a little moved, "David, can you imagine today at Christmas the year before last?" I became a Hollywood movie star and you became a multi-millionaire, it's a shame that you should have won the lottery a few months earlier, so that the dream came true. "David had hoped that he would become a millionaire before the new millennium.
"But I'm a multi-millionaire now, and I'd rather be a few months late."
Daniel propped his forehead, "Well, you're the shrewdest winner. β
"How's Claire? Does he know you've won? β
David sat on the couch and was bounced, "Of course, he knows that Claire has a big sign at the door. β
"'Our former hot dog chef is now a Hollywood star -- Daniel Sandler,' there's a picture of you, and here's me, 'Our former hot dog chef is a Brooklyn Powerball jackpot winner, a multimillionaire -- David Rosyth,' and of course there's a picture of me, but it doesn't look like a multimillionaire when put together with you, and I talked to him, and he agreed to give me a new one, but it's not the same."
"Then his business should be booming."
"He's managed to squeeze out the house next door."
The conversation with David was indeed relaxed and comfortable, and there were many topics in common between them, and of course, denouncing Mark was certainly one of them.
"Mark never went back to New York at all, and he still pretended to come and see me on the phone."
"yes, that's too much, in fact, he's never been to Los Angeles." Daniel shared his hatred, "Or I went to Stanford." β
"This kid is crazy."
If Mark is lucky enough to make it to the end, I'm afraid he's going to really go crazy, Daniel doesn't know what role Mark holds in Google, but the veteran who joined from the beginning is always not too bad, so that he can share a piece of the big cake from Google in the future, even if it is a small one, it is a lot of money.
"Shall we settle accounts with him?"
"He's so busy right now that he doesn't even have time to say hello to his right hand, and I just talked to him on the phone the day before yesterday." Daniel spread his hands, Google is growing at a high speed, and Mark is also working day and night.
David took a pillow and hugged it in his arms, "Okay, there will be a chance later." Danny, I'm not going back to New York when I'm in Los Angeles. β
"Huh? You're settling in Los Angeles? Daniel turned his head to look at him, "Or are you going to travel the world?" β
"I decided to start my career here."
"You've decided how you're going to spend that money?" Daniel was very curious, after all, it was a lot of money, even if he took over "Spy Shadow", after deducting the miscellaneous expenses, he could only get three million.
David took a deep breath, "Danny, remember the two thousand dollars I gave you when you first came to Los Angeles?" β
"Of course, but I've already paid it back to you, don't you want to ask for it again, that's a lot of money."
"Haha, yes, my mom left me three thousand dollars, I kept it, gave you two thousand, and another thousand, and I stored it as if it were a dream that would never come true. But, a miracle happened, and I now have thirty million, not three thousand, but thirty million. David turned his head to look at Daniel, "Danny, she's a poor woman whose only dream is to be a big star, but she failed, and no one in Hollywood remembers her at all, including a certain male who impregnated her." β
"So, David, what do you mean?"
