Chapter 22 Rich
"I didn't expect that I am a rich man now."
After Lin Han signed a three-year rookie contract with the Utah Jazz, he directly chose to receive the next year's salary now. The way to receive the salary in NBA players can choose your own way, such as you can get it all at the beginning of the season, or get it every month or even after the season is over. Everyone can choose their own way according to their own preferences.
But for Lin Han, if he could not replenish his basketball system before July 15, it would be really bad, so Lin Han could not get his salary every month. Of course, although Lin Han's actual annual salary is 1.1 million US dollars, the annual salary of NBA requires taxes, which is pre-tax income. The personal income tax collected by the league plus some other insurance premiums is about 39% of the Zhengfeng salary, so although Lin Han's salary is 1.1 million US dollars, he cannot get all his salary.
Of course, in addition to paying the 38% income to NBA, Utah also has 5% state tax. In the United States, in addition to national tax, most places also have state taxes and even individual taxes in every county and every city. However, it is obvious that compared with national taxes, the proportion of state taxes and other local taxes will not be very high, generally between 1% and 11%. For example, the tax rate in Utah is relatively 5% in the middle. This tax rate is not low or high in the United States. In addition to other tax rates that need to be paid, Lin Han basically needs to pay 45% of his income as taxes. The 1.1 million US dollars can actually only come to Lin Han.
Although he made himself pay nearly 500,000 in a moment, for Lin Han, the more than 600,000 US dollars left was still enough to satisfy Lin Han. After all, the current price of a high-end villa in a relatively luxurious villa in Salt Lake City is about 300,000 US dollars.
Now Lin Han has a balance of more than 600,000 US dollars in his account, which is a delightful number. However, Lin Han also knows that this amount of money may not really make Lin Han safe in the future. After all, Lin Han still needs to provide for a basketball system that has been in a state of consumption.
Moreover, according to Aili, the basketball system does not have the function of collecting cash. This original chip, which is different from a commercial chip, has undergone many mutations when traveling through time and space, such as the physicalization of the chip space, and some virtual items in the chip space have also been physicalized. According to Aili's explanation, although this basketball legend system can also help fans strengthen their bodies more than 100 years later, if they want to strengthen their bodies, they need to follow the tutorials given by the basketball legend system and cooperate with some potions sold by the basketball legend system to truly improve their physique. It can be said that although the basketball legend system 100 years later is also a semi-intelligent item, and this item is also implanted into the human body, but this item has absolutely no virtual space and absolutely no ability to make the real body enter the space.
The real commercial basketball legend system is more like a private basketball coach for a fan, and can truly project many virtual basketball legends to teach fans to play basketball. Therefore, although the basketball legend system is very amazing after more than 100 years, it is definitely not as powerful as imagined.
The initial chip used by Lin Han is not only called the basketball legend system, but it is basically different in terms of functions. At least, Lin Han's system has a shopping space, but this shopping space does not charge US dollars, only gold, and points are redeemed with gold.
So after Lin Han received his salary from Jazz, the first thing he did was to go to a gold store to buy gold. The international gold price is not very expensive now. Although the international gold price changes very significantly this year, it was almost 400 US dollars per ounce in July, which is many times lower than the price of 4,000 US dollars per ounce after more than 100 years of what Ally said. So, to a certain extent, Lin Han actually took a big advantage, and at least the difference was 10 times.
Lin Han did not use all his money to buy gold, but bought 1,000 ounces, which is 400,000 US dollars. Although 1,000 ounces is not a lot, it is still more than 30 kilograms. So when Lin Han carried such a large box of gold and left the gold store, he was shocked. In their memory, no one would really buy so many gold bars. After all, although there are many people in the United States now speculating in gold futures, these people who speculate in gold futures in the United States will definitely not really carry real gold and run around.
No matter what others' vision is, Lin Han still quickly returned home with such a large amount of gold. At this time, Lin Han's second sister and younger sister had gone out to play. These two are already on summer vacation now, and as for the eldest sister, she still works at McDonald's.
"Ali, I'm so tired."
After Lin Han moved the gold back to his bedroom, he brought these gold bars into the special space of this legendary system one by one. According to Aili, in this special space, except for the host who can freely enter and exit with normal dress, the only item that can freely enter and exit is gold, and no other things can freely enter and exit.
"So amazing. How much did you spend to buy these gold bars? Why did you get so many?"
At this time, Lin Han was so tired that he lay down after entering the space. Ali was happily circling around the small pile of gold, not paying any attention to a bright white ray of exposed from her shirt when she bent over.
"Ahem, I bought it for $400,000, so how about not much?" Lin Han said proudly after retracting his gaze from the white exposed under Alice's shirt.
"Hey. Can you buy so much gold for 400,000 US dollars? Are the US dollar so strong now? Is gold so low?"
After listening to Lin Han's explanation, Ally turned around and looked at Lin Han who was blushing incredibly and shouted, "In her world, because the second son of the earth was dissatisfied with the rule of the boss of the earth, a world war broke out, which caused the gold price to soar after the world war, reaching a terrifying 40 million US dollars per ounce. According to Lin Han, if you can buy so much gold for 400,000 yuan, then the current price of gold is less than one-tenth of that in 100 years.
"It's incredible, but maybe this is a very good thing so you can earn more points more easily."
After saying that, Aili, who was excited, grabbed several gold bars with her little hand and walked towards the cylindrical trash can on the left side of Lin Han's three-dimensional fruit image, and threw the gold in her hand into the trash can.
"Hey, Alice, you're crazy, why are you throwing gold into the trash?"
Seeing Aly's crazy behavior, Lin Han stood up from the ground and shouted.
"What are you anxious about? This trash can is designed specifically for redemption of points. Come and help."
After giving Lin Han a blank look, Aili said angrily. After saying that, she started her work again. After listening to Aili's explanation, Lin Han was speechless again.
Finally, after Lin Han and Aili threw all the gold into the trash can, what looked like a stone table under Lin Han's three-dimensional image of the fruit body suddenly lit up after Aili pressed it, and the front of the stone table suddenly turned into a computer-like monitor.
"I didn't expect that I would directly increase the points by 10,000 points, and 1,000 ounces of gold directly increased the points by 10,000 points. These points are enough for the system to spend at least 30 years. I will use the points to buy a few latest casual clothes and change to a good bedroom. I also want to buy a few latest figures from Daimao Wang, and a smart computer must also be equipped with one. I haven't watched TV dramas from Bangzi and animations from Ryukyu for a long time."
At this time, Aili was extremely happy to look at the string of numbers on the monitor, while Lin Han was very anxious. The things that the unruly girl kept mumbling about made Lin Han's scalp numb now. He didn't want the points he had finally obtained to be consumed.
"Hey, Alice, didn't you say that as long as I can get points, you will let me improve my strength? Now that I have got points, how should I improve my strength?"
Finally, although she felt embarrassed to disturb a girl who was trapped in happiness, Lin Han still woke up Ali from her fantasy.
"Oh, you said this, it's very simple. Just turn on the training system and the store system. There are many things that will improve your strength. Do you want to turn on the store system and the training system now?"
"Of course it needs to be turned on"
After Lin Han confirmed the answer, Aili quickly clicked on the monitor a few times. The independent space, which was originally only more than ten square meters, suddenly two doors appeared on the left, and one of the two doors reads the shop and the other reads the training stadium.
"How do I feel like this is a game?"
When Lin Han saw these two doors that suddenly appeared, he asked in a little unreal way.
"Yes, this is a game. One of the biggest differences between the original chips and commercial chips of the basketball legend system is that the original chip has a basketball growth game built-in. The host can also play basketball games holographically when sleeping. Originally, all this was virtual, but after the system traveled through time and space, it physicalized all virtual things."
When Ali said this, she was also a little sad, and Lin Han was shocked again.
When Lin Han walked into the door of the store, he was shocked by the dazzling array of goods inside and was stunned.
