Chapter 13: 1 cut smoothly
Dave felt that he could not sit here and waited with Kim Hyun Tae, and the atmosphere would be embarrassing if he sat there, so Dell spoke first and chatted with Kim Hyun Tae casually.
"This child belongs to your relatives?"
"No, this is my daughter."
"I can't tell, if you became a father at such a young age, is the child's mother the same age as you?"
"Yes, we grew up in an orphanage."
"Are you and your child's mother still in school now? You should still be in school at your age. But it is very hard to raise children while going to school, right? I have three children in my family and I know the hardship very well."
"I have dropped out of school. The child's mother died in a car accident last year. In order to support this little guy, I had to drop out of school and earn money, otherwise I would not be able to support her at all."
Jin Xiantai used the unscrupulous alien elementary school student to forge himself this time and space life information to prevaricate Dave in front of him.
And he remembered the sound and smile of his wife who had died in another time and space, as well as the bits and pieces of the happy life he once had, and his face suddenly showed a sad expression that is not fake.
Dale took a look and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't mention your sad thing."
Jin Xiantai waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, this is life, isn't it? Life can't be all sweet, there will always be ups and downs, but I experienced these earlier than my peers."
A very deep understanding of life. At this age, it is not easy to have such an understanding to say such a thing.
Of course, this kind of life is really pitiful.
Dave looked at Kim Hyun Tae’s gaze and gradually softened. After all, this is a young man who is struggling to face a hard life and is struggling to live. Compared with those boys who just know to ask their parents for money, and then spend time and drink outside to pick up girls Much stronger.
Well, it is much better than his three sons.
You must know that at this age, few young people can understand the inner meaning of the word ‘responsibility’.
But this Asian boy, obviously already understood what responsibility is, and carried it on his immature shoulders.
A 16-year-old orphan, raising a child less than 1 year old alone, the difficulties and hardships inside Dave can also imagine.
"Life will get better and better. After your novel is published, it will definitely bring you financial improvement. It is a very good novel, and I can guarantee that."
The atmosphere was a little dull, and Dave changed the subject and talked about the topic that could bring rich rewards to Kim Hyun Tae after the novel was published.
Needless to say Dave, Kim Hyun Tae is also very confident about it.
You must know that the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" he pirated has sold tens of millions of copies in the original time and space in ten years, and there is no sales decline at all.
It can be seen that after the publication of this novel, Kim Hyun-tae is equivalent to saying that he has received a long-term meal ticket, and he no longer has to worry about economic problems.
Basically, if nothing else, he can get a lot of copyright income from the publishing house every month.
Compared to the two jobs he quit, he must make a lot more money.
Moreover, in the future, Kim Hyun-tae can also hope that the novel will be changed into a film and television drama, and even drawn into a comic, and some foreign publishers will come to discuss this matter.
Once such a thing happens, his income will increase again.
What's more, the population base of this world is ten times that of his original time and space.
Therefore, Kim Hyun Tae is not worried at all.
Based on the sales data of the novel in the original time and space, and the population of this time and space only in the United States, it is possible to sell more than 500 million copies in at least two decades. There is no problem at all.
Then, based on the 500 million volume sales figure, twenty years is forty-eight months. If you divide it, you can find that it is equivalent to selling 1 million novels in one month on average.
California Cultural Publishing Agency acted as an agent for the novel. Even if the price is ten yuan a month, Jin Xiantai can get 10% of the copyright income, which is one million yuan per month.
Of course, Jin Xiantai can't actually get so much money. After all, he has to pay up to 35% of personal high-income income tax.
But even so, this income is not cheap.
basically allows Kim Hyun-tae to get rid of the silk identity instantly and become a middle-class elite.
Hearing the words, Jin Xiantai smiled and got rid of the painful memories.
"Thank you, I also hope that the novel will sell well, so that I can have money to live in a better community, and at the same time provide my daughter with a better living environment and conditions."
Jin Xiantai is more polite, not like a Westerner. After all, he is still an Oriental in his bones, not the ‘banana man’ Chinese teenager faked by an unscrupulous alien elementary school student.
"Oh, where do you live now? Is it an orphanage?"
Dave is very curious about this.
"No, I have left the orphanage, and now I take my daughter to rent a house outside by myself. However, the community where I live is not very safe, and the gang problem there is very serious, which gives me a very headache."
Kim Hyun Tae responded half-truth to Dave. Some of the information was forged by unscrupulous alien elementary school students, and half of it was true.
After all, Jin Xiantai and his daughter have lived in this time and space for half a year, and there is no way to fake the trajectory of this half year.
"It's really not good to live in such a community, but don't worry, you will get a signing fee after the agreement is signed. Although the money is not much, it can also allow you to move out of that place."
For Kim Hyun Tae, a young Chinese of Chinese descent, Dave's senses are getting better and better, so he temporarily decided to wait until the contract is successfully signed, and he will pay Kim Hyun Tae the small amount of signing fee.
It stands to reason that there is no signing fee for newcomers, and only those big-name authors will get this kind of treatment.
But considering that I have a good sense for this young man, and at the same time he is the person behind the scenes that the big boss Miss Anne specifically confessed to take care of, then if I take advantage of my power to take care of it, the problem should not be big.
At least, Miss Anne will have no objection.
As long as Miss Anne has no opinion, even if this matter is known to other minority shareholders, it will not have any effect on her.
"There is still a signing fee?"
When Dave said this, even Kim Hyun-tae was a little excited.
You need to know that although he has six thousand yuan in cash that he has accumulated over the past six months, he is confident that he intends to quit two jobs after the novel is settled.
But this 6,000 yuan in cash is at most just so that he and his daughter can eat and drink in a few months. As for changing the residence to get rid of that dangerous community, it is simply impossible.
But if Dave pays himself a contract fee, it doesn’t need to be much. Even if he has a few thousand dollars in cash, Jin Xiantai can start planning to move out.
So, it's no wonder that Kim Hyun-tae gets a little excited.
"Uh..." Kim Hyun-tae appeared to be hesitant to speak, and looked a little nervous, but finally he mustered up the courage to ask: "Sorry, Mr. Dave, can you tell me the general signing fee?"
"Excuse me, I am not the kind of person who sees money openly, but if I have enough money, I want to leave the community where I am now renting in a short time, so please forgive me for asking."
After all, there was a reason for the incident, which is understandable for these Dave.
Although the exact address of the Chinese teenagers is not yet known, the areas in Los Angeles with poor public security are basically well known to everyone.
It can be seen that the place where this Chinese teenager lives now must be in these areas.
As a person who has lived in Los Angeles all his life, how can Dave not know the bad public security environment in those areas and the various dangers that are flooded with them.
If it were not for poor economic conditions, most people would not choose those places to live.
And Kim Hyun-tae is an orphan with a child, so the reason for choosing a place to live is obvious, that is, the rent is cheap.
Otherwise, if he is a 16-year-old boy who has to feed his children and work to earn money, how could he live in a house like a community with good security?
You have to know that although the rents of those houses are not very high, the rents of 2500 yuan and above are not affordable by Jin Xiantai.
"20,000 yuan, you can get a signing fee of 20,000 yuan."
Dave said a number, which made Kim Hyun Tae's heart beat so much.
20,000 yuan!
With this money, I can take my daughter out of that dangerous community.
Although the money is not a lot, it can really come in handy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then, the next step is to see if there is any problem with the contract given by the publisher. As long as there is no problem, Jin Xiantai will basically not What changed your mind.
After all, if the conditions given by Dave's publishing house are not met, he can't find a better one in other publishing houses.
After chatting with Dave again, Kim Hyun-tae revealed some half-truth and forged personal information, the secretary Lola reappeared and interrupted the chat with Dave.
"This is a prepared contract. You can take a look first. If there is no problem, we will officially sign it when the lawyer arrives."
reached out and took the contract that Dave handed over, and flipped through it. There were at least twenty or thirty pages. Jin Xiantai immediately lowered his head to check the content of the contract and the terms and conditions very carefully.
With the passage of time, half an hour passed quickly. The lawyer Dave called had arrived at the office within ten minutes, but Kim Hyun-tae had not finished reading the contract, so the lawyer could only speak to Dave in a low voice. While chatting, while waiting for Jin Xiantai.
After carefully reading each clause, Jin Xiantai did not find any pitfalls or loopholes. This publication agreement contract was done very carefully, and the rights and interests of the various clauses were also very clear, without a little ambiguity or ambiguity.
At the same time, as Dave said, all the favorable conditions are clearly written in the publishing agreement.
At this time, Kim Hyun-tae had no worries, and looked up to Dave who was chatting with the lawyer in a low voice: "I've seen it, there is no problem with the agreement and the contract, so can you start signing now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Welcome!
