American winner takes all

Chapter 60 Invitation

It was still riding Lisa's stretched Lincoln home, and Lisa seemed a little frightened along the way.

She actively avoided Rice and instead talked about taking Ethan to the Italian restaurant she funded where she ate last time.

Ethan took the initiative to chat about Rice.

Lisa sighed at this time: "His father and I divorced a long time ago. He grew up in a broken family. Now that he is like this, his father and I are both responsible."

Ethan raised objections: "You have no responsibility. You are not his guardian. The only thing you did wrong was to indulge him too much."

When Rice got into trouble before, Lisa just helped him clean up the mess. The fundamental reason was that she didn't know how to educate.

Lisa fell into deep thought...

"Since you don't know how to educate, I can do it for you." Ethan suddenly said.

It was time to fulfill a little responsibility as a father and help Lisa.Besides, Rice was very useful to me, involving many things in the future...

Lisa thought for a while, then nodded: "I never thought I would trouble you for this kind of thing."

"No trouble no trouble."

"If he had 1% of your brain, I would be satisfied." Lisa laughed.

A few minutes later, the car arrived at the restaurant, and the two had a feast and were full.Lisa once again brought up the script and said that the video distribution company had agreed to purchase it and was willing to pay a "sky-high price" of US$3.

Compared to the $6000 that Fast Furious' first script was sold to Universal this year, this price is indeed high.And looking at what Lisa meant, some details have been finalized.

Ethan felt so bad that he had to find a way to vent it out.

Lisa wore a slit black skirt today, which was much more convenient than office girl clothes.

The driver understood and took a long detour.Keep going in circles on a few main roads.The front and rear of this kind of car are completely separated, which can ensure the privacy of passengers. The front and rear can also communicate messages through a closed-circuit phone. The rear rows are also covered with privacy glass, which only tests the shock absorption performance.

"Are you free in the next few days?" Lisa wiped the corners of her mouth with her hand.

Ethan shook his head, mainly because Catherine was on vacation now.

"But having said that, I'm going to Orlando, Florida to participate in the All-Star Game in a few days. Do you want to go together?" Ethan thought for a while and said suddenly.

The All-Star Game is an important platform to showcase yourself. There may be some business matters that need to be dealt with during the period. It would be best for Lisa to go with him.

Lisa thought for a while and shook her head, indicating that she was busy at work.

Just when he got out of the car, Lisa changed her mind: "However, I am going to Miami next month to deal with some work matters, so I can move forward a while."

"Ethan, no, there's something wrong with my body!"

Early in the morning, Catherine got into Ethan's arms and said miserably.

This matter started last night. Ethan came back late at night, saying he was dealing with team matters and had dinner with his teammates.However, he seemed to be in high spirits and said he wanted to "celebrate the victory."

The comfort that Catherine originally prepared turned into congratulations.Fortunately, she specially cleaned it beforehand.

When she went to the toilet this morning, she discovered that there was something wrong with her body, and she immediately panicked and explained the situation to Ethan.

Ethan rubbed his eyes and checked for himself.

The situation is not as serious as Catherine said, it is purely psychological.

Catherine felt relieved now, but she scratched and bit her, as if she wanted to take Ethan out of her anger.

"Didn't you take the initiative to bring it up last night?" Ethan hugged her from behind and said with his eyes closed. "I mean don't," Catherine corrected.

"If you don't want it, you just want it." Ethan nodded.

"What if I say yes?" Catherine asked.

"That's even more important."

Catherine grabbed Ethan's wrist and gave it a sip.

When Mia left in the morning, she specifically warned Katherine and Ethan, "Young people should not play too much. Your health is important." She was probably woken up by Katherine last night.

In fact, no matter from words, expressions, reactions or any angle, Catherine was extremely enthusiastic about that matter, even fanatical. Ethan wanted to stop several times but she stopped him.

It turns out this is her favorite.

The two were affectionate for a while, and Ethan got up and immediately confirmed the money he earned yesterday.

After deducting costs, the use of equipment is free, and ice is also free. The profit from beverages is US$6735, which means less than 1900 cups were sold. The difference in the middle is loss.

In terms of hot dogs, the initial calculated profit was US$5600, including the profit from toppings, so it was a bit more. In addition, when checking the account on the phone with the stall owner named "Mason", Ethan mentioned the next cooperation, and this Mason was also He was very sensible and offered to reduce the unit cost by 6100 cents, so the final profit was US$[-].

Plus the final additional donation, not counting Lisa's thousand, there was still $1550.

So the total profit from this charity sale was $14385.

Although they are "non-profit organizations" that is, they are held in schools, and although they are held irregularly, these charity sales are not consistent with the tax-exempt purpose of middle schools stipulated by the IRS, and the items sold are not handmade or donated.

Therefore, you have to pay taxes and declare documents, including income, expenditures, sources of goods, volunteer lists, etc. All of these are handed over to Mia.and subsequent donation amounts to be determined jointly by Mia and Rachel.According to California's local personal income tax and sales tax, the total tax rate ranges from 8% to 22%, and the specifics are more complicated.

Of course, all these expenses are “expenses” and are not included in profits.So there is still money to be made.

"You don't need to train today, right?" Catherine hugged Ethan who was settling accounts from behind.

Ethan shook his head.

"Just in time, I'm going to watch Aerosmith's concert tonight." Catherine opened her notebook and took out the two concert tickets that Adam had prepared.

"By the way, can we go on a date today and go to Century City to watch a movie later?" Catherine then suggested.

"I'm afraid I can't do it later, I have to be interviewed by Jim." Ethan said.Jim, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, contacted him again and planned to arrange a new interview. It seemed that the previous article had good results.

·
"I think I have time, see you tonight!" Jennifer Hewitt was playing the guitar, holding the phone between her shoulders.

“But having said that, can I still buy tickets now?”

"You don't have to worry about this. My mother gave me a VIP ticket to the box. I am the only one in the whole box." Liv Rundgren said on the other end of the phone.

"Your mother is so kind to you." Jennifer sighed.

"This is the first time she has given me concert tickets. She hesitated and didn't know what she wanted to do. I don't understand this band at all."

"This is 'America's Greatest Rock Band' with Joe Perry on lead guitar and Brad Whitford on rhythm guitar..." As a self-proclaimed musician, Jennifer naturally has a lot of treasures. This is a big star in the American rock circle. level exists.

"And most importantly, the soul of the band, lead singer Steven Tyler..."
