Chapter 127 Buying a Courtyard House
Surprisingly, Gulnazar's contribution was 4 percent higher than Chen He's.
As for Sun Hao getting one percent, he was quite satisfied.
After all, he only stayed for two days and could still get 100,000 Blue Star Coins, so naturally he wouldn't raise any objections.
Or perhaps Sun Hao knew he didn't have the confidence to object, and the production team wouldn't tolerate him.
Naza was very happy, while Chen He was somewhat embarrassed, realizing that as a man, he was contributing less than a girl, which was rather awkward.
Seeing that no one objected, director Yuan Zhenhai began to arrange for the accountant to distribute the bonuses to everyone.
This is a large prize, and they need to pay the taxes themselves.
In the Great Eastern Kingdom, individual taxes are paid annually, which means that Wu Tao can now directly receive 3.5 million Blue Star Coins.
You can pay 20% by the end of December this year, which is 700,000 Blue Star Coins.
Wu Tao quickly received a text message from the bank after transferring money via computer; his account, which originally had only four digits, had rapidly grown to seven digits.
Three million five hundred thousand and six thousand yuan—that's all of Wu Tao's assets now.
Of this, 700,000 is reserved for tax purposes. If Wu Tao has no other income this year, then this 700,000 will be the personal income tax he needs to pay this year.
Meanwhile, in order to encourage residents to consume and invest, Lan Da Dong Guo stipulates that if the income of the current year is used for investment and consumption, then income tax will be reduced accordingly.
For example, Wu Tao received 3.5 million Blue Star Coins this time. He spent 1 million on a house and 200,000 on a car.
So by the end of the year, Wu Tao's tax payment would be 350 minus 120 equals 230 million.
230%20 equals 46 Blue Star Coins.
To put it bluntly, the Great Eastern Kingdom's regulations are designed to encourage wealthy individuals to invest or spend their money.
It appears that Wu Tao received a tax reduction of 24 yuan, but in reality, he spent 120 million yuan on consumption and investment, and the value created there exceeded the 24 yuan in taxes.
The personal income tax threshold in the Great Eastern Kingdom is 100,000 Blue Star Coins, an amount that has almost no impact on ordinary people.
Because most ordinary people only earn 500 yuan a month, which is only 6,000 yuan a year.
Only high-income earners need to pay personal income tax, or, like Wu Tao, unexpectedly receive a large sum of money.
Wu Tao, Gulnazar, Yang Zi, and Chen He said goodbye to each other.
After a three-day voyage, the passenger ship finally returned to port, and everyone needed to proceed to their respective destinations.
The four of them spent a month together, and now they are about to part ways, which is a little sad.
"Alright, everyone, we're all in the capital. Wu Tao is about to open a restaurant in the capital, so there's no need for this."
"That's right, you guys should try your best to make some good films. I'm looking forward to seeing the movies you star in."
"Wu Tao, don't just talk about us, you also need to hurry up and open your restaurant. To be honest, after eating your food for a month, I'm starting to miss it now that I can't eat it anymore."
A few jokes dispelled the sadness, then everyone patted each other on the back and went their separate ways.
Wu Tao arrived at the high-speed rail station by taxi. Gulnazar, Yang Zi, and Chen He all had schedules to attend and needed to get to the film set as soon as possible.
Otherwise, having them drive me to the capital would save me the travel expenses.
The high-speed rail fare from the port to the capital only costs a few dozen yuan, and Wu Tao increasingly felt the strength of Blue Star Coin.
Upon arriving in the capital, Wu Tao first checked into a three-star hotel.
Considering that I don't own a house in the short term, I applied for permanent residency this time.
A standard room at a three-star hotel costs 20 yuan per night, but Wu Tao booked a month's stay directly.
In the end, they charged him 500 yuan, which was equivalent to giving him five days of free accommodation.
After putting my luggage in the hotel, I went out in the afternoon to find two real estate agencies and explained my needs.
When the real estate agency heard that Wu Tao wanted to buy a three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) with an area of no less than 600 square meters, they were overjoyed.
This is a big client, and as real estate agents, they really like clients like this.
Both real estate agencies said they would do their best to find suitable properties as soon as possible.
Only after Wu Tao finished handling this matter could he finally have some free time.
Actually, he had come to the capital a few times before, just to find his ex-girlfriend.
The other person is now working in the capital, but things have changed.
Wu Tao had no recollection of the original owner's ex-girlfriend; he wasn't the original owner's simp.
After leaving the real estate agency, Wu Tao didn't take a taxi but instead strolled around the streets on foot.
Compared to the capital of Earth, the capital of the Great Eastern Kingdom is far more magnificent.
The streets are very clean, mainly because the penalties are too strict; spitting or littering will result in punishment.
At the same time, there aren't many tall buildings here because the Great Eastern Kingdom has expanded its cities several times, separating residential and work areas long ago.
Moreover, the wealthy people here prefer to stay in the countryside, so the city planning is quite good.
As Wu Tao walked, he compared the differences between Beijing and the capital city on Earth.
After wandering around for a while, they came to a bar, and Wu Tao went straight inside.
This is a quiet bar; it's not noisy at all.
Wu Tao casually ordered some snacks and two bottles of beer, then sat there listening to music to relax.
I traveled through time last year, and almost eight months have passed since then. My savings have grown from a few thousand yuan to several million yuan.
It's really not easy to choose the life and work you like now.
However, the things I had stockpiled back then were actually of little use.
US dollars, gold, and RMB are all useless; Blue Star Gold is just a type of metal material.
Not to mention paper money, they don't recognize anything except Blue Star currency.
It seems that I don't need to stockpile random things in advance anymore; it's better to spend my time learning more skills.
Like this time, if I hadn't mastered six skills in my previous life, I probably wouldn't have had the experience of earning millions in just a few months.
Wu Tao received a call from Nazha that evening, informing him that he had settled into the hotel. Nazha even specifically asked him about buying a house.
"What? You want to buy a courtyard house? Why a courtyard house? That's usually something older people in Beijing would choose."
"Didn't I say I was planning to open a private kitchen restaurant? A courtyard house perfectly fits my requirements."
"You're talking about those expensive private kitchens; I thought you just ran a small restaurant."
"It's not expensive for you, is it?"
"No way, I spend all my money on clothes, bags, and cosmetics."
Naza complained about how female celebrities waste money, and Wu Tao didn't want to say anything.
Even though they know it's a waste of money, they still enjoy buying things.
Of course, Wu Tao also understands that as a female celebrity, sometimes you have no choice but to buy new clothes and jewelry. People will think that you are no longer popular.
However, Wu Tao still has a rather unfriendly attitude towards female celebrities.
He had no intention of getting involved with female celebrities in his life; he used to be confident he could make a fortune. Now that he's on Earth, he hasn't figured out how to make a lot of money yet.
