Chapter 24: Buying a car and new inspiration
"Thank you Mr. Dave, I have already made a decision."
"Oh, have you decided, that's good."
Now that Kim Hyun-tae has made a decision, Dave stopped the introduction, but brought up another matter.
"By the way, Xiaojin, you mentioned that when you talked to me the other day, did you create a new novel?"
Kim Hyun Tae is in the United States. Dave is a familiar person. He doesn't know anyone except Dave.
So, Kim Hyun-tae will call Dave every other day to talk about work and life.
During these conversations, Kim Hyun-tae also revealed that he was "creating" a new novel, so Dave immediately took it to heart.
However, Dave has never had a chance to ask, this time he finally has a chance.
The sales of "A Song of Ice and Fire" still haven't shown explosive growth, but they are very stable.
It’s already mid-October, and it’s about to be November. The sales of the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" this month have been statistic, and it has remained stable at 1.8 million copies. If you wait until the end of the month, think To reach the sales volume of 2.1 million copies last month, there is no problem, and it can even exceed a little bit.
Therefore, for Kim Hyun-tae, who was able to write "A Song of Ice and Fire", a new novel that he recently "created", how could Dave not expect it?
Maybe it's another big-selling novel.
Kim Hyun-tae saw Dave asking about it, and he couldn’t hide anything, so he replied to Dave, “It’s a magical novel.”
Magic novel?
Dave's eyes lit up, and the cat scratched in his heart.
In recent years, the American fantasy novel market has become popular, and many people like to buy magic novel books.
If Kim Hyun Tae’s novel is of good quality, then the publisher can make a fortune.
And this possibility is extremely high, so Dave could not help not taking this matter seriously and looking for an opportunity to raise it.
Therefore, Dave immediately said to Kim Hyun-tae: "How much has been created, can you reach the number of characters that you can publish a volume? If you have reached it, I hope you will hand over the novel to the California Press for publication."
Kim Hyun-tae took the phone and smiled. To be honest, he didn’t want to hand over this novel to other publishers, and the piracy of the novel "Lord of the Rings" has already ended. Even "The Hobbit" has been pirated and started to piracy. Harry Potter.
But Jin Xiantai didn't say that he had finished it all. After all, it would be unwise to say so.
Just like the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire", Kim Hyun-tae also completed all pirated copies, but the manuscript he handed over to Dave Publishing House was only enough to publish three volumes, instead of handing in all of them. Came out.
And these three volumes alone are enough to publish three or four years.
You know, the "Song of Ice and Fire" in another time and space took twenty years to publish a total of seven volumes.
Therefore, Jin Xiantai’s three volumes of "A Song of Ice and Fire", he himself expects the California Press to publish and sell for three to four years, but they are all rare.
"I'll go back and sort it out. If there are enough numbers, I will send it to you by email."
This kind of response basically agreed to hand it over to the publisher, so Dave was very pleased.
"Good! You have time to come to the publishing house, bring the manuscript of the novel, don't send it through the mail, if I have read the manuscript, we will sign the publishing agreement."
This is fine, and Kim Hyun-tae doesn’t object to it.
"That's OK, I'll go to the publishing house tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Kim Hyun-tae readily accepted it.
After finishing the phone call with Dave, Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter and set off to buy a car.
There are many ways to buy a car in the United States, mainly depending on which car you want to buy.
Ordinary young people mostly choose the second-hand car market to buy second-hand cars that are affordable and of good quality. After all, the price of used cars is more than half cheaper than new cars, and some can even be as low as 20% of the price of new cars.
If you are lucky, you can still buy luxurious second-hand sports cars on the second-hand car market.
But for Kim Hyun-tae, the second-hand car market is not attractive because he is not short of money at all.
As far as his current income is concerned, there is no pressure to buy a new car.
The 4.2 million cash in the bank, after paying up to 35% of the personal income tax, actually fell into the hands of Jin Xiantai, now only 2.73 million.
But even if it is 2.73 million yuan, it is a huge sum of money, at least for ordinary American families, it is indeed a huge sum of money.
To be clear, the United States is a society with a credit system. Everyone is accustomed to spending early. More than 40% of American households do not have a little bank savings, and they live today when they consume their salary in the next few days.
This is completely different from Asians, especially Chinese.
In China and even in Asia, basically every family will have some savings in order to prevent unexpected needs.
So, this kind of savings can also be called ‘emergency savings’. Eastern and Western attitudes are very different in this respect.
Then, the 2.73 million savings line in Kim Hyun Tae’s bank account is very eye-catching.
This shows that he has a high degree of credit, has super purchasing power, and basically belongs to the customers liked by all types of businesses.
Of course, although Jin Xiantai is in the United States, he still follows the traditions of Chinese people in terms of life concepts and concepts on wealth consumption and management.
You don’t need a credit card, and you won’t overspend in advance. You have a part of the planned savings for how much you earn, and the rest will be spent on consumption.
There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and I have encountered alien elementary school students in my previous life, so in this time and space ghosts know if they will encounter such a strange thing.
Therefore, he needs to have some savings. If such an accident happens again, at least he can leave some wealth for his daughter so that she can live better in the future.
At the same time, Kim Hyun Tae is really not accustomed to this way of spending in advance.
A large amount of cash has made Kim Hyun-tae not have any headaches and troubles when he deals with the issue of buying a car.
is not like ordinary American families. When buying a car, you need to choose carefully, and then after comparing the price and other aspects, it takes a long time to make a choice.
Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae bought a car he likes easily.
Audi A8 black luxury business car.
The space of this car is very spacious, it will not make people feel uncomfortable to sit in it, and it is also equipped with top-notch configuration. The price is only 260,000 US dollars when calculated. The price is really low to the point .
The same model can be sold for more than 7 million in China.
(Large parallel space-time area, increased transportation distance, and comprehensive consideration of all aspects)
Because he got his driver's license and the car dealer gave him a California license plate immediately, Kim Hyun-tae was able to drive away immediately after he could pay.
Since Kim Hyun-tae gave cash, the dealer also offered a box of gasoline for free.
Kim Hyun-tae, who got in his car, was very excited. This was the first car he had owned in his previous life and this life. It was his own car. If he was not excited, it was a fake.
Similarly, Kim Hyun Tae’s daughter, Coco, was also very excited. The little guy danced with excitement since he got into the car, and looked around curiously, while yelling "oh oh oh" or yelling "ahhhh". Scream.
Unlike his father who owns his own car and can afford to buy a car and is happy, the little guy Coco is obviously excited about seeing new things.
Because I learned the traffic rules, my daughter, Coco, was sitting in the ‘egg shell’ from which the stroller was removed and placed in the back seat.
According to the US traffic regulations, children cannot be placed in the front passenger seat.
And Kim Hyun-tae, who has obtained his driver’s license, of course knows this and will not violate this rule.
When I bought the car, the dealer gave a set of CDs with various types of music. Kim Hyun-tae considered looking through it and found a special CD with all light music and played it.
After all, he needs to consider his daughter's feelings, so it is impossible to listen to that nrb or too loud music.
The soft and soothing music sounded and played in the car surround sound. The sound quality was very good and made people feel very good.
Kim Hyun Tae, who drove the car, did not take his daughter home immediately. Instead, he came to a local hot dog fast food restaurant with a circus clown as the sign and symbol of the Hollywood film and television theme amusement park.
That clown is very different from the original McDonald’s clown of Kim Hyun Tae, and this shop sells hot dogs instead of burgers, but this shop also provides some interactive games with children, attracting many parents with their children. Come and play.
Kim Hyun Tae also knows about this shop. Today he brought his daughter to play.
There is no separate play area for children, and there are no slides or other play facilities, but there are some staff dressed as clowns who play and interact with the children in the specially opened area in the store.
In short, although the two worlds are not the same, they both have fast food restaurants that take care of children's games.
Parked the car, carrying the ‘egg shell’ baby basket, Kim Hyun-tae walked into the hot dog shop with his daughter, went to the ordering table and ordered the waiter and ordered a hot dog set meal.
After a short time, I got the hot dog set meal I ordered. Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter to sit next to the interactive area between the clown and the children, and put the daughter’s “egg shell” baby basket in a good place for the little ones to watch. At the funny college performance of pretending clowns, and the little guy obviously likes to watch it, her eyes naturally lost sight of seeing those funny clowns.
As for Kim Hyun Tae and his daughter, most of them are parents with children, but the children are of different ages.
Of course, there are nine-month-old children like Kim Hyun Tae’s daughter Coco, but they are too few, most of them are three or four-year-olds.
Those children playing under the leadership of clowns, or running around a few clowns indiscriminately, anyway, it is very noisy.
Here, children can play and play at will, without worrying about being criticized by their parents. This is the place that belongs to the children, allowing them to release their nature and energy.
opened his hot dog package~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and took a bite, Jin Xiantai smiled and looked at the daughter who was attracted by the clown, with a gentle expression on his face.
Next to the table, a white couple in their thirties is reading a fairy tale book to their three or four-year-old son, and the mother is responsible for reading out the content of the story book to the child.
Jin Xiantai pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched, because the fairy tale he was listening to was a little bit weird and even dark.
abruptly, he suddenly had an idea.
He has learned about the fairy tales of this world, they all seem to be dark and strange stories.
For the fairy tales of various countries in this space-time earth federation, Kim Hyun-tae didn't know too much about it. After all, he didn't think it had much to do with him at the beginning.
But at this moment, a hint of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he felt that he might also have a lot to do in fairy tales.
Thinking of this, Kim Hyun-tae shifted his gaze from the middle-aged couple to his daughter’s side, and thought to himself: “This time and space is dark and weird and cruel fairy tale, I don’t want my daughter to read all these when she grows up. So is my father trying to change it for the sake of his daughter.
Of course, if you succeed, you can not only make some good fairy tales for your daughter in the future, but also let yourself use fairy tales to create greater benefits for yourself and your daughter. "
