Chapter 139 7 in savings
The latest chapter is packed with exciting plot twists! Come check it out!
It wasn't until Yuan Zhenhai, the program director from Donghai TV, appeared before everyone that they belatedly realized that three months had already passed.
Compared to when they first arrived, all five of them have developed some health problems.
They've become noticeably thinner, even though Wu Tao has tried his best to provide them with better nutrition. However, they're not eating or sleeping well, and everyone is under considerable psychological pressure.
Even Wu Tao has lost a lot of weight. He can hide in his private space at night to eat and drink to his heart's content and still get plenty of sleep.
One can imagine how much the others will change.
"Everyone, you have now qualified for this Three Kingdoms Tournament. The first place winner will receive a prize of 30 million, which will be distributed according to your respective contributions. You may now pack your things and prepare to leave."
"Wuhu, takeoff."
The five of them didn't care what they were doing anymore, and pots and pans flew everywhere.
Yuan Zhenhai fled in terror, as if a chaotic dance of demons had broken out.
Wu Tao and his group basically didn't take anything; they didn't want the clothes and shoes they brought with them.
Aside from taking some small items like wolf fangs, everyone packed light and boarded a plane, leaving the place where they had lived for three months.
As everyone left, looking back at this simple yet cozy courtyard, each person had many reflections.
On the plane, director Yuan Zhenhai briefly announced everyone's contribution.
First, there are the three female celebrities, Yang Mi, Dilraba, and Gulnazar. Although they also persevered to the end, their contributions certainly cannot be compared with those of Wu Tao and Liu Gang.
They themselves knew that this situation couldn't be explained simply by saying "ladies first."
Yang Mi, Dilraba, and Gulnazar, the three female celebrities, took a total of 45% of the contribution, with each of them receiving 15%.
Wu Tao and Liu Gang together took 55% of the contribution points, with Wu Tao taking 30% and Liu Gang taking 25%.
On the surface, everyone seems to accept this allocation plan. As for whether they secretly harbor resentment, at least for now, everything appears peaceful.
Wu Tao joined the program and received a one million yuan appearance fee. Now he has received 30% contribution points, which is another nine million yuan, totaling ten million Blue Star Coins.
Liu Gang signed a contract and took away one million, and now he has another seven and a half million, totaling eight and a half million Blue Star coins, which has allowed Liu Gang, a young man of only twenty-five years old, to quickly climb to the level of a multi-millionaire.
Yang Mi, Dilraba, and Gulnazar each took away 5.5 million Blue Star Coins.
In short, the winners get everything, and for these five people, now is the time to reap the rewards.
Wu Tao and his team did not waste any time outside. They had not appeared for three months, and now many jobs were waiting for them.
Wu Tao and Nazha only exchanged a few messages on their phones to confirm their next meeting time before saying goodbye and leaving in a hurry.
Wu Tao first drove his SUV to a car wash for a thorough cleaning before driving back to the courtyard house.
Li Qian'er and Sun Shiliu were also very happy to see Wu Tao and summarized the recent recruitment and training work for the courtyard house.
Ten tall and beautiful female waitresses, two female cleaners, five kitchen helpers, and two cashiers stood in front of Wu Tao. This was the first time they had all met.
Wu Tao met with everyone briefly, had a short chat, and then dismissed them.
There will be plenty of time for everyone to keep in touch in the future. Right now, all Wu Tao wants to do is go back to sleep.
Li Qian'er and Sun Shiliu also noticed the boss's fatigue, so naturally they wouldn't be so oblivious as to pull Wu Tao aside to report on their work.
Wu Tao slept for a full day and night before reappearing in front of everyone, full of energy.
This time, Wu Tao finally had time to deal with his recent work. The recruitment of personnel was complete, and the training was almost finished.
Wu Tao now only needs to fill in the gaps and try to prepare a few banquets with five assistant cooks.
This serves two purposes: firstly, it allows everyone to quickly get to know each other; secondly, it lets the boss's employees know just how good his cooking is.
According to the three standard set menus that Wu Tao had originally set, Wu Tao prepared three tables of dishes over three days.
After attending three banquets of different price ranges—one table for 1,000 yuan, one table for 3,000 yuan, and one table for 5,000 yuan—Li Qian'er, Sun Shiliu, and the other employees were all full of confidence for the future of their private kitchen restaurant.
Besides cooking, Wu Tao also went out again to find real estate agent Xiao Liu, asking him to help him find a three-bedroom, one-living-room detached villa.
Xiao Liu had a deep memory of Wu Tao, and was extremely happy to see Wu Tao again, as it meant business was coming his way.
Xiao Liu quickly found a suitable apartment for Wu Tao, and Wu Tao didn't have many complaints.
The three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment was a second-hand property. The owner renovated it and then went abroad to develop his career.
It's practically a brand new house; the furniture, appliances, and bedding are all new.
120 square meters, three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms.
120 square meters, three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms.
The master bedroom's ensuite bathroom also features a wet and dry separation design, which shows thoughtfulness.
The price for a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment is 350,000 yuan. The renovation, furniture, and appliances were discounted by 80,000 yuan, plus 20,000 yuan for a private underground parking space.
I paid 450,000 yuan in full to get this three-bedroom, two-living room, two-bathroom apartment.
The detached villa is located outside the Second Ring Road of Beijing, not far from the sea of flowers.
The villa occupies an area of one acre, with a garden of more than 100 square meters in the front yard and a private swimming pool in the back yard. The single-story building has an area of 230 square meters and two and a half floors.
The third floor has two rooms on one side and a large terrace.
The total building area is 500 square meters, with five bedrooms, two living rooms, a gym, a study, a home theater, and a game room.
The underground parking garage is public, but the villa owner has ten private parking spaces.
The detached villa was fully furnished and ready to move in, costing Wu Tao 1.5 million Blue Star Coins.
After buying two houses, Wu Tao didn't stop. Instead, he spent a huge sum of money again to buy four luxury cars.
All four luxury cars are top-of-the-line models, each costing 500,000 Blue Star Coins.
An SUV, a sports car, a minivan, and a sedan.
Now, Wu Tao has put his 300,000 yuan SUV in the courtyard and used it as a grocery shopping car.
Wu Tao didn't want to do this either, but what could he do when he received such a huge sum of money this year?
The initial investment was 3.5 million Blue Star Coins, followed by an additional 10 million Blue Star Coins.
Wu Tao also felt the pinch when faced with income tax of 13.5 million Blue Star Coins.
If you don't spend money, you'll need to pay 2.7 million in taxes.
After all that buying and buying, I only have 7.9 million left.
After the investment is exempt from tax, Wu Tao only needs to pay 1.59 million Blue Star Coins in income tax.
That's equivalent to paying over a million less, which means the courtyard house is essentially free.
Wu Tao paid his personal income tax for the year in advance at the tax bureau, and his savings became 6.3 million yuan.
Wu Tao also deposited six million of it into the bank, which, together with his original one million deposit, brought his total deposit to seven million, which was deposited as a five-year fixed deposit.
With seven million yuan in a bank deposit and three hundred thousand yuan in pocket money, Wu Tao is now very pleased with himself.
