Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage
Chapter 505: Cash Like a Mountain
Lin Feng laughed twice and patted her bottom: "Okay, I'm satisfied with this answer."
Eileen looked up at him and asked, "Lin, how do you plan to accept the award? There are two options."
"Tell me about it," Lin Feng said.
Anna cleared her throat and began her analysis in a serious tone:
"The first option is the 30-year annuity model."
The amount will increase by 5% annually, totaling US$1.817 billion.
Of course, this is before tax.
It's received once a year, like a salary.
"The second option is to receive the cash all at once, but with a discount."
The pre-tax amount is approximately US$930 million.
Most people would choose this, because who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Eileen added from the side, "And you also need to keep cash in the casino, which the annuity model simply can't meet."
Lin Feng nodded: "What you said makes a lot of sense. Choose the second option."
Eileen smiled slightly, "I studied all the relevant regulations before coming. Guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"Arkansas requires that the winner's identity be made public, but California, Texas, Washington, and Nevada, where we are, do not require the identity to be made public and the winner can claim the prize anonymously."
Eileen's eyes sparkled with a hint of smugness. "So we can stay completely anonymous, and no one will know who won the prize."
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction: "Okay."
You handle the details.
"No problem," Eileen said, taking a tablet out of her bag and starting to calculate.
"Then the next step is to deduct the tax."
The federal tax withholding is 24 percent, which is approximately $223 million.
After deducting state taxes and various miscellaneous fees, the actual net income after taxes is approximately $530-540 million.
Lin Feng did the math: "Over 500 million, that's good."
I'll take 400 million, and the remaining 1300-1400 million will be split equally among the four of you.
The air in the room was silent for a second.
"Wow, Lin, I love you to death!"
Eileen also looked excited: "Lin, you always bring me magic."
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Don't give me that."
"Hurry up and get on with the important business. I need the money urgently, and remember, it has to be cash."
"Don't worry, Las Vegas has no shortage of cash."
In the following days, the four women went to collect their awards separately.
With Eileen as the lawyer, everything went very smoothly.
She prepared all the necessary documents in advance, contacted the lottery company, scheduled a time to claim the prize, and even prepared her script for media interviews.
Although the award was accepted anonymously, reporters still surrounded the recipient.
The final amount received was roughly the same as Erin's calculation, totaling 530-540 million US dollars after tax.
The four women split the money equally, with each receiving $133.5 million.
Eileen invested her remaining money in a trust fund with an annualized return of five percent, enough to live comfortably on the interest alone.
On major North American news websites and social media platforms, the headlines were all about "Powerball's $1.8 billion jackpot claimed".
CNN's headline reads: "Second largest Powerball prize in history goes to Nevada, winner claims prize anonymously."
It is said that the four people split the money equally.
Fox News' headline was even more outrageous: "Identity of $1.8 Billion Winner Remains a Mystery, Lottery Company Refuses to Release Any Information."
Twitter exploded with discussion, with five out of the top ten trending topics related to the lottery.
Some guessed the winner was a Silicon Valley tycoon, others a Hollywood star, and still others were certain the winner was a retired old man from Florida.
There are all sorts of theories, but none of them are correct.
Meanwhile, the real winners are sitting in their Las Vegas villas, drinking champagne, counting their money, and grinning from ear to ear.
After the four women received their awards, Lin Feng instructed them to go to the bank to withdraw 300 million US dollars in cash.
As a world-renowned gambling city, Las Vegas has no shortage of cash.
Major banks keep hundreds of millions of US dollars in cash in their vaults year-round to serve casinos and high-end clients.
The bank deployed eight armored security vehicles, each equipped with four armed security guards, which drove in a grand procession toward the villa.
When eight armored vehicles drove into the villa gate in a line, the scene was even more impressive than a presidential motorcade.
The neighbors in the villa area were very curious; those who didn't know better might have thought it was a movie shoot.
The security guards wore sunglasses and bulletproof vests, their expressions as serious as if they were escorting nuclear weapons.
One by one, they carried black briefcases full of cash into the living room, stacking them neatly together to form a small mountain.
Three hundred million US dollars are all in $100 bills, and one hundred million US dollars is one ton.
Three hundred million US dollars is equivalent to three tons of cash.
Three tons of money were piled up in the living room; the visual effect was more stunning than any Hollywood blockbuster.
The four women stood around, looking at the "mountain of money," and were collectively speechless.
Even though the four women were not short of money, they were still very excited to see such a large sum of money.
Eileen crossed her arms, her brows furrowed slightly, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
"So much cash..." Eileen couldn't help but say, "It feels a bit dangerous. What if someone tries to rob us?"
What she said wasn't without merit.
Three hundred million US dollars in cash is enough to tempt any criminal gang to take the risk.
Even the most professional mercenaries would be tempted by this number.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "With me here, this is the safest place in the world."
Anna glanced at him, thinking of the "disappeared" drug lords in Mexico, and nodded: "Okay, I believe you."
Lin Feng then said to Anna, "Go and buy a Gulfstream private jet."
I need the latest model.
Anna: "I'm good at this."
"Okay, it's up to you." Lin Feng patted her shoulder.
The four women showed unprecedented enthusiasm for purchasing a private jet.
Anna was responsible for contacting Gulfstream to negotiate prices, while Eileen was responsible for reviewing the contract terms.
For the next ten days or so, Lin Feng was also busy.
He withdrew another 700 million US dollars in cash from his bank card and put it all into his spatial storage.
Including the 2 million US dollars in cash he previously stored in his space, he now has more than 12 billion US dollars in cash in his space, piled up like a small mountain.
Bundles of hundred-dollar bills were neatly stacked.
Because the casino wasn't finished being renovated yet, Lin Feng wasn't in a hurry to put the cash in.
He plans to wait until the casino opens before releasing a billion dollars all at once, giving the world a shock.
Time flies, and the Lantern Festival has passed in the blink of an eye.
The festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival in China is gradually fading.
In the airport arrival hall, Sun Ting and Guo Lin stood there with a large group of people, more than twenty in total.
They were all young women, dressed in matching black uniforms, each tall and beautiful, attracting the attention of passing travelers.
These people are the team of technicians that Guo Lin brought from China.
When Lin Feng was in China, he asked Sun Ting and Guo Lin to find suitable candidates. The requirements were simple: young, beautiful, skilled, and discreet.
Sun Ting and Guo Lin visited several cities and went through multiple rounds of screening before finally settling on twenty people.
They are all top performers in their respective fields, and their good looks go without saying.
Lin Feng arrived at the airport and spotted them immediately.
He walked over, glanced around the crowd, and nodded in satisfaction.
These technicians all have amazing figures, with curves in all the right places and perfectly proportioned bodies.
Two of them stood out in particular: one had an oval face, fair skin that glowed, and a pair of bright, watery eyes that sparkled when she smiled;
The other one has an oval face and well-defined features; she's from Xinjiang province.
Lin Feng nodded in agreement; Sun Ting's judgment was indeed impeccable.
"Brother Feng!" Sun Ting saw Lin Feng, ran over, took his arm, and smiled with her eyes crinkling.
Guo Lin also came over and nodded to Lin Feng:
"Boss, I've brought everyone with me, a total of twenty people, not one missing."
Please take a look. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, I'll adjust it.
Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively: "Get in the car first, we'll talk about it when we get back."
Lin Feng had ordered three Mercedes-Benz vans in advance.
