The film's great success has kept everyone on the"Lord of the Rings" crew busy, appearing on shows, accepting interviews, and being invited to various parties...
But Martin doesn't have such free time.
He has received $4.2 billion in funding and is now struggling with how to spend it.
You know, the most terrifying department in the United States is staring at this money.
In this country, the most feared department is not the FBI or the CIA. It is not the police or the military, but the IRS, whose full name is the"Internal Revenue Service of the United States."
Do you know where graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point most want to go? army?
No, no, it's the IRS.
Do you know where graduates of finance and economics majors from Ivy League universities in the United States most want to go?
Wall Street?
No, no, it's the IRS.
Do you know which department has the strongest investigation power in the United States?
FBI?
No, no, it's the IRS.
In the United States, everyone has to deal with the IRS.
Before April 15th of each year, everyone must submit a document to the IRS, provide proof of income, and fill out the form for IRS review.
Because bank accounts and credit cards are opened with Social Security numbers, the IRS is fully capable of finding out if you evade taxes.
The United States is a"country of tens of thousands of taxes", and personal income tax is collected according to income levels.
The minimum federal tax rate is 10 percent of income, with a maximum of 35 percent, generally deducted directly from paychecks.
Even for emerging e-commerce, the IRS will never ignore it.
If you only sell items online without a physical store, you can basically be exempt from sales tax, but as long as the website brings you income, you still have to pay federal income tax.
Even those DUs and gangs have to pay taxes to the IRS - no matter what source of income, even if it is illegal income, you must file a tax return, otherwise you will be taught how to behave in a minute.
The IRS department has more than 40,000 auditors, accounting for about 35% of the total staff, and each of these people are elites - the combat team are all veterans of the special forces, and the investigation team are all graduates from major prestigious schools.
In the United States, police often say to suspects,"You have the right to remain silent." But when it comes to tax matters, if you evade taxes, you do not have the right to remain silent.
In addition, the IRS can freeze private or corporate property without going to court, which is also a perverted privilege.
There is a famous saying in the United States,"Only death and taxes are eternal in this world."
But what people like to say in private is - mess with no one but don't mess with the IRS.
No one in the United States is afraid of the government or the president, but when the IRS is mentioned, many people gnash their teeth in hatred.
This institution is a huge one. There are armed guards at the door. Everyone who enters must go through strict inspection and pass through a detection gate to see if they are armed.
You have to wait in the lobby and wait for the IRS specialist to call you before you can enter.
The IRS's deterrent effect on Americans has long surpassed that of the CIA and the Department of Defense. This has been widely recognized by Americans as early as the 1930s.
Let's talk about something interesting.
In 1971, the most famous gang leader in America at the time was Al Capone.
This guy is cruel, cruel and cunning.
He killed his two bosses and became the godfather of the gang. His evil deeds were reported in the newspapers every day, but the government, FBI and police department could not find him because there was no evidence.
It wasn't until the IRS intervened and a group of seemingly weak accountants were invited by federal agents to take action that things turned around.
The IRS used"failure to file taxes" as a necessary"good crime" to kill people, confiscate homes and exterminate families, and sent Capone to the law without blinking an eye. He spent 11 years in prison, and Capone's criminal group was wiped out.
Let’s continue to focus on the protagonist.
Martin was thinking-- although some of the money can be deducted from taxes through the charitable foundation cooperated with Julie, there is still a lot left.
Martin must spend it as soon as possible before April 15 next year.
Among them, one billion is prepared to purchase Disney stock, and another four hundred million can be deducted by charitable funds, leaving a remaining US$2.8 billion.
Martin scanned the stock market, selected some stocks he had memories of, bought them, and lost another 400 million.
24 remain.
Martin couldn't spend it immediately, but fortunately there was still a year left, so he wasn't too anxious and put the money aside first.
In early April, in the latest edition of the Hollywood Power Rankings, Martin beat many well-known figures such as Michael Eisner, Shirley Lansing and Steven Spielberg to reach the number one spot for the first time0.....(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
…………
On this day, Martin, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles.
This is a professional rugby stadium that can accommodate more than 100,000 spectators.
The office of the 1994 United States World Cup Organizing Committee in Los Angeles was established here.
Today's game is the Los Angeles Chargers vs. the Buffalo Bills, all the way from New York.
This is a focus battle that attracts the attention of many Americans.
At this time, the entire stadium was almost full. Martin's arrival was broadcast on the big screen above the stadium, causing a huge cheer.
The cheers turned to surprise when people discovered that Martin was next to Nicole Kidman, who had just divorced Tom Cruise.
"what happened? How did Martin end up with Nicole Kidman?"
"Did they come to watch the game together? but why?"
"No way, Nicole Kidman and Martin are together? Oh, no, that old woman is so much older than Martin!"
"Oh my God, is Tom Cruise going to be pissed off when he sees this?"
……
"Martin, to be honest, I think this kind of publicity is not very good."
Listening to the buzzing buzz in the entire stadium, Nicole Kidman felt a rare shyness, like a little girl in puppy love who was caught by her parents. I saw her pretty His face turned red, he held 2.6 Martin's arm, and unconsciously let go, and then - he was firmly held by Martin's hand.
"Hey, take it easy, just promoting the movie. And I think we should often appear together in front of the public, so that they will gradually get used to it."Martin said with a smile.
In a mansion in Beverly Hills, Tom Cruise smashed the remote control in his hand.
"asshole! Shit! he cursed
…………
Game start.
Martin and Nicole Kidman seemed to really come to watch the game together, cheering for the Los Angeles Chargers' performance from time to time.
The live broadcast footage also frequently focused on the two people.
Until the intermission, people at the scene and in front of the TV were still wondering, why did these two people appear together?
