Chapter 138： Redeem the Sales Guess Rewards

The sales volume of "Harry Potter" in the first month was not very good in the first three weeks, so it was far from the number expected by many fans.

When fans guessed, they all involuntarily referred to the word-of-mouth and sales records of the book "The Lord of the Rings". In many people's opinion, even if Li Daniu's new book is not as good as "The Lord of the Rings", it will not be exciting. The degree will not be very different.

Coupled with Li Daniu's current fame, even if it sold one million copies in the first month, it would not be surprising.

But unexpectedly, Li Daniu's new book is aimed at a completely different group of readers than the main reader group of "Lord of the Rings". This also caused the results of the first three weeks of the book's listing to be very "dismal". Of course, the results of the first three weeks are already very good for other authors, but for an author like Li Daniu whose readers expect to create records, it can only be said to be dismal.

Even with the sprint of more than a week in the last week, it was impossible to waste three weeks. Therefore, many fans who guessed the sales of more than one million, or 700,000 to 800,000 were wrong.

The final statistical results of the first month's sales were not unilaterally calculated by Sunshine Publishing House or Li Daniu, nor were they even calculated by the bookstore. It was calculated by a very famous notary unit in the United States. After all, if the number is a little bit off, the bonus paid by Li Daniu may be multiplied many times.

589,563 copies, this is the final announced sales volume.

As for Li Daniu's previous message on the feed, the answer closest to this sales volume is 589362. There are 70 fans who guessed this number.

Compared with millions of comments, only 37 people guessed right, which is not an exaggerated ratio, because no one would think that the sales volume of Li Daniu's new book in the first month was less than 500,000 copies. Most likely, around a million copies.

Between 500,000 and 1 million, that is, 500,000 numbers, and there are millions of people participating in this activity, it is not surprising that 37 people guess the same number.

The number with the most guesses was at the 800,000 level, and 3,000 people guessed the same answer.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous." Li Daniu felt relieved. He didn't expect that he would have such unexpected benefits if he didn't seriously promote it before. If it wasn't for the dismal sales in the first three weeks, the sales volume this month is likely to jump to 800,000. At that level, it is very likely to encounter sales that are guessed by 3,000 people at the same time.

After all, what Li Daniu said before was the number closest to the answer, not the exact answer.

"Your Majesty, should we pay the reward now, or wait until "Harry Potter" starts sending money?" Castro checked again and asked after finding that the result was correct.

"Of course it's now. I have to wait at least a month for the payment to be paid back. I don't care, but the fans can't wait."

Li Daniu waved his hand and handed over the matter to Castro. He didn't have the time to do these things. Besides, confirming the information of these people is not a simple matter. Stroh, the lawyer, will solve it. Moreover, Li Daniu originally only planned to spend 100,000 U.S. dollars for fun, but in the end he had to pay 3.7 million U.S. dollars, which is a bit like shooting himself in the foot.

However, the spirit of Ah Q should be there. 3.7 million is better than spending 30 million.

Since the money is going to be spent, the B that should be installed must be finished, so Li Daniu posted a post on his eye book.

"About the results of the last event, the statistics have been calculated. The relevant data are collected by the XX Notary Center in the United States. If you have any questions, please contact the XX Notary Center in the United States. Winners, please keep your mobile phone turned off in the past few days , someone will contact you to pay the bonus. Also, @大J, do you have anything else to say? Or, do you have anything to say about the talent show I did and the real singer I found?"

After Li Daniu's post was posted, it received countless likes, because there has never been a public figure who would give out 3.7 million in cash as a fan benefit. For other public figures, at most, they will take out some of their own signed works, movie tickets and other cheap goods as fan benefits.

Although Li Daniu said that he would pay for it before, many people were skeptical before he actually paid for it, because it was really a lot of money. But now, when the result comes out, countless people will naturally praise Li Daniu for his generosity, or according to Li Daniu's words, he is rich and self-willed.

Although there are millions of people who did not get this reward, this kind of activity itself depends on luck, and not many people will have any objections. He kept clamoring about topics like shady scenes, but it was really nothing to worry about.

Millions or even tens of millions of people buy lottery tickets for each lottery, but only a few people win the jackpot, or even one person wins hundreds of millions, and it is not seen that lottery tickets or lottery centers are banned because of people clamoring for shady scenes. various explanations.

As for the reply below this post, apart from admiration, many people are concerned about a question, that is, will the $100,000 be taxed.

Many people have @ a very famous lawyer in the eye book, and this lawyer replied very promptly.

"First of all, I would like to wish these lucky winners. Secondly, I would like to express my regret because I also guessed the answer. Unfortunately, I was too wrong with the correct answer. Finally, I would like to explain the taxation of this bonus. According to federal law, although this activity Strictly speaking, it is an unprecedented fan welfare activity, but when it involves bonuses, you must pay federal taxes and even state taxes. For the specific tax amount, please refer to the lottery winning. I hope that the winners are the best Not from New York."

The United States is the United States of America, and each state has a great deal of autonomy, and laws vary greatly from state to state.

New York State, where New York is located, collects a very high state lottery tax, reaching more than eight points. Similar to California or Florida, they do not charge lottery taxes. However, even if they do not pay state taxes, federal taxes will run no.

Some people who have not won the lottery before and have been clamoring for shady people have changed the subject, saying that Li Daniu should pay the tax, and guarantee that the winners will actually get 100,000 US dollars.

To this, Li Daniu did not reply positively, and the vast majority of netizens also scoffed at this kind of argument.

You bought the lottery ticket with money, and you said you won the first prize of 100 million yuan. After you get it, don’t you have to pay taxes? How about paying a little tax to get $100,000 without spending a penny?

However, although there was no positive reply, Li Daniu still posted a post, taking this opportunity to advertise his own Tuvalu.

"I decided to change the laws of Tuvalu. All Tuvalu citizens do not need to pay a single penny of personal income tax. Everyone is welcome to come and immigrate. First come, first served. In the future, immigration status will not be as easy as it is now. Come on."

Apart from increasing Li Daniu's willful comments again, this status actually did not cause much repercussions. Because many small countries use this method to attract the rich. When the rich come, although they cannot increase taxes, they can also drive consumption.

But when it comes to immigration, in fact, some time ago, many people did apply to become Tuvalu immigrants, basically for the living allowance of 3,000 US dollars per month, but they were all suppressed by Burns arranged by Li Daniu. It came down, because accepting immigrants during that time, in addition to increasing the monthly subsidy expenditure, did not provide much help to Tuvalu.

It is now impossible to carry out any infrastructure construction on the mainland of Tuvalu. All the focus will be placed on the Auckland Islands, which is New Tuvalu. However, the current transportation in New Tuvalu is not only very inconvenient, but also cannot provide basic living security, so it is simply unable to accept many immigrants.

Moreover, it is impossible for these immigrants who came for living subsidies to stay in Tuvalu, or even New Tuvalu. After taking the account, they will definitely go back to where they came from, and then receive the monthly 3,000 US dollars with peace of mind.

However, now that the construction of New Tuvalu has started, Li Daniu needs to consider the policy of accepting immigrants, because Tuvalu is really short of people. (To be continued.)
