Chapter 13 Receiving the Prize
This means that Li Zhe has to pay 3 million in taxes.
In the end, only 12 million were available.
Prize money is given by wire transfer check.
After receiving the check, the winner needs to go to the cooperative bank designated by the Welfare Lottery Center to handle the transfer procedures.
Only then will this money actually come into your hands.
Of course, the common award-receiving process is also essential.
It is what people usually see in the lottery news, the scene where the lucky winner wears various monster headgear to receive the prize.
Li Zhe put on the Sun Wukong hood and took photos with the staff of the Welfare Lottery Center for publicity.
There will be reporters taking photos and conducting interviews.
Also, there is the donation link afterwards.
At this stage, there are media reporters and lottery center staff who will persuade the winners to donate, asking you what you are going to do after receiving so much money, how much you are going to donate to the country's welfare, etc.
Although this donation is completely voluntary, and the decision of whether to donate or not rests with the lottery winner, most lottery winners cannot withstand persuasion and will choose to donate a little out of face.
Moreover, donating a small amount of money can also avoid moral kidnapping and pressure from public opinion.
"Director Zhao, this donation is entirely voluntary, right?"
"Yes, but we still hope that Mr. Li can contribute to national charity..." Director Zhao changed his voice, "Besides, charitable donations are tax-deductible."
When Li Zhe heard this, he immediately became interested. "How to get tax exemption?"
"For example, Mr. Li, if you win 1,550 yuan and donate 3 million yuan, you personally need to pay tax based on 80% of the prize amount, which means 12 million yuan. On the donation, you need to pay 300 yuan tax.
Ten thousand yuan, and after donating, you only need to pay tax of 2.4 million yuan!"
Li Zhe "...".
If you don’t donate, you’ll pay 20% tax. If you donate, you’ll still pay 20% tax.
Does it make a difference?
Where is the tax exemption?
I'm not good at math, don't lie to me!
However, when Li Zhe thought about it carefully, there was really a difference.
This is equivalent to using only 2.4 million to gain the reputation of donating 3 million.
But he doesn't dare to reveal his identity at all. What's the use of fame?
"I decided to take out...10,000 yuan from the bonus and donate it to Hongcheng City Charity to do my part for the country's charity."
Li Zhe really did his best, with a donation of 10,000 yuan, he actually only needed to donate 8,000 yuan.
"Pop!"
After Li Zhe finished speaking, four or five seconds passed before some sparse applause broke out at the award-winning venue.
"Mr. Li, on behalf of the Charity Association, I would like to express my gratitude for your charity!" When shaking hands with Li Zhe, Director Zhao's smile was extremely forced.
After coming out of the Welfare Lottery Center, Li Zhe touched the check in his pocket, his heart filled with satisfaction, joy and relaxation.
Got 12 million!
All I can think about is this.
Even though he was mentally prepared before he came, he still couldn't help but be excited when he got the twelve million check.
Li Zhe found a corner, took off his cheap sportswear, and threw it into the trash can on the roadside along with his peaked cap and sunglasses. He bought this sportswear and hood specially in the morning to hide his identity.
Now that the prize has been collected, it is useless.
Then, Li Zhe took the check and went straight to the nearby Welfare Lottery Cooperative Bank.
More than forty minutes later, Li Zhe walked out of the bank.
When cashing the check, Li Zhe was warmly received by the bank staff and walked into the VIP room for the first time in his life. However, he politely refused the deputy branch president's suggestions of applying for large-denomination certificates of deposit and opening a financial account.
I only applied for a Platinum MasterCard card, and the limit was not high, only 100,000.
Of course, if Li Zhe agreed to apply for a large-denomination certificate of deposit, it would be easy to apply for a high-denomination credit card with a limit of one million, but how could he be willing to throw his money in the bank and earn interest.
He hailed a taxi on the side of the road. After getting in, Li Zhe said to the driver: "Master, go to Xinhai Computer City."
Xinhai Computer City is the largest computer city in Hongcheng City. It is a comprehensive hypermarket integrating the retail and wholesale of IT products. It is divided into two floors and has more than 400 boutique rooms and counters, attracting a huge flow of people.
In the previous life, Li Zhe came to Computer City for the first time on National Day. He and He Zhigang spent more than an hour shopping there before buying an MP4.
Li Zhe originally planned to give that MP4 to Tan Hui as a confession gift, but he didn't give it out.
This time, with a net worth of tens of millions, Li Zhe naturally showed no mercy when buying things. It only took him ten minutes to buy an Asus F8H725 laptop worth more than 9,000 yuan and a Nokia 6300 worth more than 2,000 yuan.
, and an OPPOMP4 worth more than 800 yuan.
After carrying his things out of the computer city, Li Zhe checked the time and found that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Only then did he feel a little hungry.
In fact, he didn't eat at all in the morning. The stimulation of money made him forget about hunger.
So, Li Zhe took a taxi to the commercial street, found a specialty restaurant, and had a simple meal.
After eating, Li Zhe continued shopping.
In a clothing store, Li Zhe stood in front of the mirror, looking at the trendy brands he was wearing, nodded with satisfaction, and then swiped his card to pay. He didn't know how to buy clothes, so he asked the shopping guide to help match them. If he thought they looked good, he would buy them.
He left a message, "Help me throw away my old clothes!" Li Zhe went straight to the next store.
T-shirts, shirts, jeans, casual wear, sportswear... As long as he sees clothes and shoes he likes, Li Zhe will buy them.
As for whether it is a brand, Li Zhe doesn't care. As long as the clothes are good-looking and comfortable to wear, he doesn't plan to go to the bar to pick up girls, and he doesn't need to wear big-name clothes to show off.
At this time, the trend of comparison on campus is not that strong yet. Most girls buy clothes based on the appearance rather than the brand. If you are really wearing a big brand, other girls may regard your clothes as a piece of merchandise, or they may think your clothes are ugly.
After walking around the pedestrian street, Li Zhe's hands were filled with bags of all sizes. He ended his shopping trip until he couldn't hold any more.
It's around four o'clock in the afternoon, Nanqiao Station.
It is 34 kilometers from the city to the school, and a taxi costs more than 100 yuan, which is such a waste.
Li Zhe decided to take the bus.
The No. 210 bus runs once an hour. While Li Zhe was waiting for the bus, he unexpectedly met an acquaintance, Tan Hui.
She was with a petite and cute girl, both of whom were holding shopping bags.
At this time, Tan Hui also saw Li Zhe, and both of them were a little surprised. No one expected to meet each other here.
Li Zhe smiled and nodded at Tan Hui, but Tan Hui just looked at him coldly and turned away. Li Zhe smiled and didn't care, because he was in a very good mood now.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the bus finally arrived.
Chapter completed!
