Chapter 89: : private lottery

In other words, Sean didn't really do that.

After all, Sean is not a devil either.

He just didn't lend a helping hand after the other party was caught by the police.

Normally, when those gangs pay money, when they really encounter something they can't solve, Sean will lend a helping hand to help communicate.

Now this guy has been caught, Sean... Jonas immediately ordered someone to take over the private lottery business and set up sales points in bars in several surrounding cities.

How high is the profit of private lottery?

Let's put it this way, the regular lottery is actually a welfare nature. It first appeared during the Civil War and was used to raise military expenses. The actual betting amount of the later lottery is also mostly owned by the government, and a small part is used to enter the prize pool.

Taking the most popular Powerball in the United States as an example, choose 5 out of 55 white balls, and then choose 1 out of 42 red balls. If all 6 numbers hit, you can win the jackpot, and the probability of winning is 146 million. 1 in 1, even if Sean reduces one white ball, the probability of winning the lottery is still terrible.

Moreover, the US federal government stipulates that bonuses over $600 are subject to 10% national tax, while bonuses over $5,000 are subject to 25% national tax.

In terms of personal income tax, it is divided into six grades, 10% tax is levied under 6,000 US dollars; The portion is taxed at 30%; the portion from $141,250 to $307,050 is taxed at 35%; the portion over $307,050 is taxed at 38.6%.

Even if New Jersey no longer levies a state tax, the lottery winner needs to pay 20%-63.6%.

Therefore, people who like to play lottery will of course be more interested in buying private lottery when the winning rate of private lottery itself is higher and there is no need to pay taxes.

Of course, the probability of winning the lottery is high, and the top prize is gone. Everyone understands this.

And in the eyes of many people, because the owner of the private lottery cannot interfere with the specific lottery, this is obviously more fair.

After all, winning the lottery... ahem, the whole world is the same.

Although Sean did not stand up for this private lottery platform, due to the sudden expansion of the scale and the blatant sales of all the 'underground bars', the sales amount of the private lottery has doubled in one fell swoop.

After the first lottery draw on Wednesday, the publicity from those who got the money safely, and Jonas using his strength to fuel the flames, the scale of sales rose again between Wednesday and Saturday before the draw.

In Dart's bar, due to the sale of private lottery tickets, there were a lot more people than usual on Saturday night. A ball is played, and there will be a burst of curses and cheers in the bar.

When the last red ball came out, one person suddenly jumped up from his seat, stood on the table and raised his arms high and cheered, "I won the lottery, I won the lottery!"

Of course, he was not the only one who won the lottery. Many people have won the lottery, no matter how big or small. Watching these people go to redeem the awards one by one, it would be a lie to say that they are not envious.

Amid the cries of 'I invite everyone present for a drink', the lottery sales of the next issue have once again turned a new level.

It's just that what everyone doesn't know is that the lucky winner returned the money after he went out and got in the car. This secret scene happened in almost all bars...

To play a private lottery, Sean didn't forget to ask it out.

As more and more lottery tickets are involved, there are lottery draws in bars every day. Although the gang below did not get any money, more people came to the bar. It is also a profit sharing.

Of course, doing private lottery is also risky. If you are really unlucky and often win big prizes, the speed of losing money is absolutely beyond imagination.

The rest is the severe crackdown by the police and the lottery company, but this has nothing to do with Sean. He has a few layers of skin and is caught. Naturally, someone will take the blame. Even if some people are not strict, at most they will bite Jonas. body.

On this side, the private lottery business has expanded, and on the other side, Norris has already completed the preliminary work of the film project, and Sean has also brought people to Hollywood.

……

Considering that he will often go to Hollywood in the future, Sean bought a villa directly on the north side of Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills. The villa has three floors and a basement, with an area of ​​more than 600 square meters, 12 rooms and 16 bathrooms. 6 parking spaces, a garden and a full size swimming pool for easy pool pairing...ahem, parties!

In the hall of the villa, Sean was sitting on the sofa, and Knowles was introducing him with a thick stack of documents.

"We have to decide on the director first. After all, we still have to listen to the director's opinion when choosing a role." Norris took out a stack of director information and put it aside.

Small companies are different from big film companies. Big companies are much more complicated~www.wuxiamtl.com~ They have their own considerations in casting, and rarely consider the director's opinion, including editing rights. If they don't match, they have their own thoughts on editing, and don't lose too much money in the end.

The most famous is Warner. Zha Dao is not the first person to be cheated to death. It is a daily thing to play a good hand. This kind of mistake is definitely not made by a small company like Sean.

Sean flipped through the information in his hand, and he kept shaking his head. It wasn't because he was too picky, but he didn't turn to a name that made him a little familiar, "Is that all? Nothing better?"

"This..." Norris looked embarrassed: "There must be something good, but the problem is we can't afford it."

Shawn slammed his mouth, flipped through the information in his hand again, and finally picked out a name that felt a little familiar, "John McTiernan, how is this guy."

"This guy has never made a movie, has no experience, and is a commercial shooter." Norris had no idea why Sean chose this person.

"Those of you who have made movies here, tell me, is there any one that makes money? No, you don't need to make money, even if it's not a big hit!" Sean spread his hands, all of them lost money, you Let me choose.

Norris has nothing to do. The big director can't afford it. A good director won't lower himself. That's a kind of harm to himself.

More importantly, even if people are willing to reduce the price, they have higher production requirements and stronger desire for rights. Maybe they will conflict with Sean.

"Okay, just him, come over tomorrow to talk about it." In fact, Sean chose him because he had a little specious vague impression, but more importantly, because he was a photographer.
