Chapter 183: The Wind Rises
"Have you ever thought about how to use the prize money you get?"
A group of reporters surrounded Kim Hyun-tae's father and daughter, and held a microphone in front of the father and daughter, waiting for Kim Hyun-tae's answer.
"I haven't thought about it for the time being, but I'm talking about it when I get my bonus. I didn't expect to win the lottery myself, it was a complete surprise, how could I have thought so much for a while. ”
In the face of reporter Kim Hyun Tae, he casually found an excuse and fooled the past.
Apparently, however, the reporters were not very happy with his answer.
It's a pity that Kim Hyun-tae didn't continue to give these reporters a chance to ask questions, and after speaking, he walked into the office of the award place with his daughter in his arms.
And those media reporters were all firmly blocked out by the security personnel of the Powerball Los Angeles prize venue.
The procedure for claiming the prize is not very complicated, show the winning ticket, as well as personal documents, and basically wait to get the money.
There are two ways to claim the Powerball prize, one is to receive the prize in 20-year installments, which is relatively more prized.
The other is to receive the prize at once, but although this method is convenient, quick and convenient, it has to pay a high amount of taxes, so the winner gets only about 50% of the prize in his hand.
The Powerball prize pool totaled $12.8 billion, and thanks to the uncapped single-bet rule for the US Powerball prize in this space-time, Kim Hyun-tae and his daughter won the only super jackpot and emptied the Powerball pot in one fell swoop.
In the face of the staff's inquiry, Kim Hyun Tae did not hesitate to choose to receive the bonus in one lump sum instead of receiving it in installments over 20 years.
Something like this must be for Kim Hyun-tae, a father, to get an idea, and because Xiao Keke is too young, even if she thinks something, the staff will not listen to the approval if she wants to come.
Besides, little Coco doesn't have any ideas right.
The little guy just knew he had won. There's a lot of chocolate to eat later.
As for how much $6.4 billion is, the little guy doesn't have the slightest idea.
Coco, who came to receive the prize with her father, was very excited, although she had no concept of money, but it did not prevent the little guy from vaguely feeling that winning the lottery was a very good thing, after all, so many people were happy, and her father was also very happy, so she was happy and happy.
Due to the rules in the United States in a different time and space, any winner who wins the jackpot must be exposed in front of the media. Even include some simple personal information.
This was done mainly to prove to the outside world that there was no insider in the Powerball jackpot to reassure the public.
If you change to a welfare lottery in China in the previous life, it won't be like this.
For this reason, Kim Hyun Tae is also a little entangled.
After all, with such a large bonus, he didn't know if it would attract the attention of some ill-intentioned villains.
If the United States can be the same as a welfare lottery in Huaxia in the previous life, there is no need to expose personal information and appearance, and it would be best to give yourself a cartoon costume by the way.
It's a pity, after all, different countries must have different rules.
And more importantly. This is still the United States in a different time and space.
So Kim Hyun-tae's idea is destined to be impossible to realize.
Of course, the time and space where the previous life was located, Huaxia, because of some problems with a welfare lottery. It is also very much for the majority of lottery players to complain about this.
Among them, the slots include the winners of various cartoon costumes.
In front of many media reporters and cameras, Kim Hyun-tae received a check for the $64 prize, and this is the end of the award process.
Dave stood not far away, standing on the periphery of the circle of media reporters. Looking at Kim Hyun-tae's father and daughter, who were squinted by the flashing lights.
Yes, Kim Hyun Tae not only brought his daughter with him to accept the award, but also asked Dave to accompany him.
And that's not all. and the man in the suit of the Black Hole Fund who signed the agreement with him yesterday also invited him to accompany him to receive the award.
"His luck is really good, I also bought comfortable dollars in this issue of Powerball, but unfortunately I didn't even guess a single number. ”
Standing next to Dave, who looked embarrassed, the man in the suit of the Black Hole Fund chatted with Dave with emotion.
Listening to his tone, he was very envious.
In this regard, Dave also thought so, and nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"You're right, William is really a lucky guy, I heard him say that this time to buy a lottery ticket, mainly because this is her daughter's attention, originally he didn't want to buy, but her daughter strongly requested, in the end he had to buy a note, but just such a note, actually won the lottery. ”
Like the man in the suit, Dave is also envious of Kim Hyun-tae.
Of course, this is just envy of his good luck, and there are no other thoughts or thoughts.
After all, Dave knows who is standing behind Kim Hyun-tae.
"I'm curious to know, does this have a leg with Lady Luck?"
The man in the suit looked envious.
But it's not surprising, after all, it's a multi-billion dollar mega jackpot in Powerball, and who can't envy it.
Dave didn't speak after listening to the man in the suit, but secretly thought in his heart: [I don't know if I have a leg with Lady Luck, after all, that girl is a character in a legendary story, but I know that there is a person in reality who is comparable to the goddess of wealth, but he has special feelings for this boy. Well, this woman is your boss. 】
Thinking of this, Dave glanced at the man in the suit who was standing on tiptoe, stretching his neck and looking across the crowd to look at Kim Hyun Tae's father and daughter, and then quickly looked away from himself.
Like these things in his heart, Dave will not say it to the man in the suit, after all, when it comes to Annie, the 'big boss' behind the scenes, Dave can't be cautious.
"Hey, let's leave this inconsequential matter alone, you need to know that William will invest in your black hole fund after he gets the prize. ”
Yes, Kim Hyun Tae had already made a decision last night to receive a one-time prize for Powerball, all of which was invested in the Black Hole Fund, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to get a vote in Japan.
When the principal is recovered, he is depositing $6.4 billion in the bank and waiting for the future to be handed over to his daughter.
Of course, if there is an opportunity, the $6.4 billion does not necessarily have to be deposited in the bank, and it is not impossible to buy some high-quality stocks to hold for a long time, but it needs an opportunity.
Anyway, he's going to take advantage of his daughter's lottery winnings.
Anyway, Coco Xiao won't object.
The man in the suit nodded when he heard this: "You're right, I envy that this thing is useless, this boy's luck is his business, it doesn't have much to do with me, I just need to do my job." He shrugged his shoulders at Dave.
Being surrounded by the media again, it is absolutely inevitable to be asked some questions, for which Kim Hyun Tae has long been mentally prepared.
Therefore, in front of many media reporters, he calmly answered their questions.
Fortunately, these media reporters did not embarrass him, the freshly processed Powerball jackpot winner, to ask some too tricky questions.
Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae also coped with it very easily.
After about a dozen questions, Kim Hyun-tae told the media that his daughter was a little tired, so he ended facing the media.
Seeing Dave after the media interview, he greeted the man in the suit, and the two walked towards Kim Hyun Tae against the edge of the room.
Kim Hyun-tae, who saw Dave and the man in the suit coming over, gestured sideways to let them follow, and then turned around and walked towards the corridor in the other direction with his daughter Coco in his arms.
With a check of $6.4 billion in his hand, Kim Hyun-tae still feels like a dream at this moment.
Indeed, something like this that he had never dared to hope for in his two lifetimes, but it happened.
[Unexpectedly, I still have this kind of life.] 】
Kim Hyun-tae, who is holding his daughter Coco, is really beautiful.
After all, this is a large bonus, and it is absolutely impossible to say that Kim Hyun Tae is unhappy.
Even if he is now a man with a net worth of more than two billion dollars, he cannot be indifferent in the face of such a large bonus.
"William, let's find a place to talk about the agreement. ”
Dave and the man in the suit caught up with Kim Hyun Tae, and as soon as he caught up with him, the man in the suit made a small proposal.
"As you wish, there's a café nearby, let's go and sit down. ”
Stopping and looking back at the man in the suit, Kim Hyun Tae recalled that on the way to receive the award, he saw a café nearby, so he smiled and nodded in response to the man in the suit.
There is no opinion on where to go to the man in the suit, in short, he just needs to have a place to talk about things.
Kim Hyun-tae drove an Audi by himself this time, so he didn't have to sit in a suit or Dave's car.
So after picking up the car in the parking lot, Kim Hyun-tae took the lead in front and led the way to the small café he had seen when he came.
On the way, he also called Stark and asked him to come and have a look.
After all, it's another agreement, and it's also appropriate to ask Stark, the lawyer, to take a look and help check it.
After all, I give him so much money every month.
This money is not taken for nothing.
Things are not so complicated, after waiting for Stark to come to the café and check that there are no problems with the new agreement, Kim Hyun Tae signs the contract, and then, accompanied by Dave in a good suit, goes to the bank to transfer the money with a check.
After everything was settled, Kim Hyun-tae's short-term yen investment entrustment in the Black Hole Fund reached as much as $8.4 billion.
At the same time, the state superior court in Sacramento, California's capital, received an indictment for intellectual property infringement, and the author of the indictment was George Sr.'s son, George Jr. (To be continued.) )
