Chapter 26: Community newsboy
Kim Hyun-tae’s inspiration is equivalent to another opportunity, so he has no reason to let it go. He clearly knows that he must seize this opportunity. In addition to allowing himself to give his daughter a'present', this opportunity can also be brought to One's own fame and glory and wealth.
That afternoon, after Kim Hyun-tae continued to complete some chapters of the pirated "Harry Potter", he set up new files and documents and started writing the pirated "Grin's Fairy Tales".
When his daughter was one and a half years old in his previous life, he bought two fairy tales, "The Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Andersen's Fairy Tales", and read stories to his daughter every night.
So, because I have read it, the content of these stories can be easily recalled by him. This is entirely due to the influence of the mysterious energy that travels through time and space.
Speaking of it, not everything that Kim Hyun Tae is doing now, the pirated novels, can be made.
First of all, he must have read these books before he can be successful.
Fortunately, he has read a lot of novels in his previous life, so he now has a lot of literary resources, which can be considered an advantage.
For those novels and books that he hasn't read, I'm sorry, Jin Xiantai is helpless.
I have to say, this is also a regrettable thing.
But even so, his current creation of "A Song of Ice and Fire", as well as pirated copies of "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", as well as "Harry Potter" which is being pirated, and " The novels of "Twilight" and "Resident Evil" can be regarded as the capital and advantage for him to settle down in this world.
Moreover, in addition to these novels, he has also registered and left three titles such as "The Bourne", "Hurricane Rescue" and "Resident Evil" in this time and space in the West Coast script library of the United States in these two months. The script of the movie.
Once the script is fancy, he can use these three scripts to get a name in the entertainment industry and even get a vote.
And now the California Press has published the first volume of Kim Hyun-tae’s novel "A Song of Ice and Fire", which sold well. The previous month had already brought him 2.73 million after-tax income. This month, according to Dave’s Meaning, the income should not be bad.
Basically, Kim Hyun Tae’s economic pressure has completely disappeared.
Then, under this circumstance, Kim Hyun-tae is completely free to play and write something he wants to write.
is like a children’s fairy tale he wants to "create" now.
Of course, in fact, the more important reason is that Kim Hyun-tae feels that this time-space fairy tale is very unsuitable for children.
In the future, once Coco grows up and sees that kind of wonderful fairy tale, Kim Hyun-tae doesn't want her daughter to leave any psychological shadows.
Therefore, Jin Xiantai took this opportunity to write a fairy tale suitable for all ages, and he can be regarded as a father, giving his daughter the first ‘gift’ in this world.
My daughter is still asleep, and Kim Hyun-tae is also completely immersed in the passion of creating (pirated), deaf to the outside world.
As it is not a holiday, there are not many people on Santa Monica Beach, but there are also some men and women playing volleyball on the beach or swimming in the sea.
Monica Beach Community is not an attraction. Most of the people who haunt this beach location are residents in the community.
Those tourists, or Los Angeles locals, mostly gather in the upper and lower sections of Monica Beach, so the middle section of the community is quite quiet.
But this is a good thing for Kim Hyun Tae. After all, he also needs a quiet atmosphere and environment to create (pirated). If it is too noisy, it will not be very good.
It was still very high in the afternoon in Los Angeles in mid-October.
In just one hour, Jin Xiantai has created (pirated) more than a dozen stories from "The Grimm's Fairy Tales", which can be described as very efficient.
After Jin Xiantai hit the last punctuation mark of a story right now, a timid voice suddenly came from outside the garden.
"Sir, do you need a newspaper?"
Hearing this, Jin Xiantai looked up and saw a little girl wearing a child safety helmet and stepping on a bicycle that American children would ride. She was sitting on her bicycle and measured her body slightly. A trace of cowardice crossed the half-person high fence and looked at him.
The girl is not very old, but she is also fifteen or sixteen years old. She wears protective gear on her arms and knees. She has brown hair and some small freckles on her face. This is a typical American girl.
When the other party saw Kim Hyun-tae looked up, he plucked up his courage, and continued: "California Daily, only 15 yuan a month, if you like entertainment newspapers, you can also order them from me, and I am also responsible for delivering them to you on time every day. Even if it rains and winds, I won’t be late."
Jin Xiantai came to understand, dare to feel that this is a community newsboy.
In this time and space in the United States, there are such community newsboys in every community. From six-year-old kids to high school students, many children like this job.
Because this can not only exercise themselves, but also earn pocket money, so many children are willing to use their free time to do this work.
Unlike Asians, the average American family will not give their children pocket money at will. Even the children of the rich have the same experience.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, some parents who spoil their children too much, but these people can be ignored.
Most American children need to earn pocket money on their own, or do family chores accounted by their parents.
According to the American concept, there is only one gain if there is work, and it is not advisable to get something for nothing, even if you take money from your parents.
Therefore, community newsboys came into being.
In addition to being responsible for getting up in the morning to get the newspaper back for delivery, these children are also responsible for the task of pulling subscription customers for the newspaper they are responsible for. After each subscription customer is drawn, the children can also get a range of commissions. .
Kim Hyun Tae is a new resident in this community, and apparently has not subscribed to the newspaper. This girl obviously saw this, so she found herself.
After all, when he came to the United States in this time and space, Kim Hyun-tae also lived for nine months, almost ten months, so he is still very clear about this matter.
He immediately understood the girl who appeared outside the garden.
"Is it all right to place an order with you?"
It’s okay to order a few newspapers. It doesn’t cost much anyway, so Kim Hyun-tae asked.
Obviously, asking like this is equivalent to intention, which makes the girl excited.
"Yes, sir, I am responsible for the delivery and ordering services of many newspapers, and my service is also the best in the entire community. It does not matter if the newspapers I am in charge of do not have what you need, I can order and deliver them for you, You only need to pay 10 yuan per month."
Kim Hyun-tae is noncommittal about this. Americans don’t know what humility is, but the remuneration offered by the girl is acceptable, only 10 yuan a month.
It's just that Jin Xiantai has not calculated it. If the girl can deliver one-fifth of the newspapers in the entire community, then the remuneration she receives and the commission rebates from the newspapers are not a decimal.
Of course, compared to adults, children make little money.
But for children of girls' age, that is definitely a lot of money.
"California Daily, Hollywood Entertainment, Los Angeles Times, American Literature, I need all four newspapers, can you order them here?"
Kim Hyun-tae decided to order four newspapers in one breath, which made the girl chuckle.
But no matter how happy she is, she has to answer Kim Hyun-tae’s question now. After all, Kim Hyun-tae is now an intended customer and needs to be maintained.
"I have an agent for the first three newspapers. I need to order the American Literature for you, so there is basically no problem. But you have ordered four newspapers here, and the commission I distribute will be slightly higher."
The girl actually still bargained with Kim Hyun Tae, which made Kim Hyun Tae happy.
Although Kim Hyun-tae’s appearance is not much bigger than that of a girl, he is a guy with the soul of a 36-year-old man after all, so when facing this fifteen or six-year-old girl, he is like looking at a child.
"This guy doesn't look much older than me. I still call him Mr. Mr. I wouldn't be so polite if it wasn't for the fact that he can order newspapers." The girl saw the smile blooming at the corner of Kim Hyun Tae's mouth. , I made a small complaint in my heart.
But after all, Kim Hyun-tae will order four newspapers. Such a ‘big customer’ girl will not offend.
Although she brags that she is the strongest in the entire community, this is after all what she said, not the fact.
In fact, in this community of 700 or 800 households, the girl has only acted as an agent for the distribution and subscription of newspapers for more than 30 households, and only earns more than 100 pocket money per month.
The rest is monopolized by other boys doing the same job.
Most of the jobs of community newsboys are owned by boys. Although girls can also join in, they are not as advantageous as boys.
Therefore, the girl cherishes any customer very much.
"So how much do you want?"
"25 yuan!"
After thinking about it, the girl responded to Kim Hyun Tae.
The price is not high, but it is not low.
But considering that she needs to go to many places every morning to get the return paper and then come back and distribute it. This process is also very hard, so it is worth the reward of 25 yuan.
nodded, and Kim Hyun Tae agreed.
The girl saw Kim Hyun Tae nodding and agreeing to her offer, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Haha, there is an extra customer and an extra income, of course the girl will be happy.
Including Jin Xiantai’s 25 yuan commission, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com plus the rebate from the newspaper, he can earn more than 40 yuan more pocket money a month.
With this money, I can buy some gadgets that I have long wanted.
"Do you live nearby? Or in other parts of the community?" Now that the price has been negotiated, Jin Xiantai began to take the money from his wallet, and prepared to hand it to the girl to help him subscribe to the newspaper, and pay her a commission in advance.
and very casual Kim Hyun Tae asked.
"I live next door." It was the girl who made Jin Xiantai understand that she was still a neighbor with him.
"Why, don't you participate in the school club activities? Will you come back after school?", the time is already 16:00 in the afternoon, and school is over at 14:30. Obviously the girl did not participate in the school club and club activities, otherwise she is not impossible Come back so early.
The girl raised her hand to straighten her pink safety helmet, and then said to Kim Hyun Tae, "There is no activity in the club today, so I went home. Sir, I think you are not too old, so I guess you are also a student? High school student or college student?"
Kim Hyun Tae pretended not to hear, so he did not answer the girl’s question.
After all, he doesn't know how to answer, is it possible to tell the girl that he did not study?
Wipe!
With such a young appearance, it seems that he is only 16 or 7 years old. If he doesn't go to school, he will definitely be despised.
The girl didn't care about Kim Hyun Tae's reaction, and introduced herself to Kim Hyun Tae: "My name is Demi, a ninth grade student in Monica Public High School."
