Chapter 13: 1 Everything Goes Well

Dave felt that he couldn't just sit here and wait with Kim Hyun-tae, and the atmosphere would be awkward, so Dale 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 become a father at such a young age, is the child's mother also the same age as you?"

"Yes, we were raised in an orphanage."

"Are you and your child's mother still going to school now? You should still be going to school at your age. But it's hard to raise a child while going to school, right? I have three children in my family, and I know the hardships very well."

"I have already 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 to earn money, otherwise I would not be able to support her at all."

Jin Xiantai used the unscrupulous alien elementary school student to forge the life information of this time and space for himself to prevaricate Dave in front of him.

And he thought of the voice and smile of his deceased wife in another time and space, as well as the bits and pieces of the happy life he once had, and a sad expression that was not fake at all suddenly appeared on his face.

Dell looked at it and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't bring up your sad things."

Kim Hyun-tae waved his hand: "It's okay, this is life, isn't it? Life can't be all sweet, there will always be all kinds of 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 a realization and say such words.

Of course, this kind of life is really pitiful.

Dave looked at Kim Hyun-tae's gaze, and gradually became softer. After all, this is a young man who is struggling to face the hardships of life, and is struggling to live, compared to those boys who just know how to ask their parents for money, and then go out to spend time and drink to pick up girls Much stronger.

Well, he is much stronger 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 he shouldered it with his immature shoulders.

A 16-year-old orphan, raising a child less than 1 year old alone, the difficulties and hardships involved can also be imagined by Dave.

"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 this."

The atmosphere was a bit dull, Dave changed the subject, and talked about the topic that after the novel is published, it can bring rich rewards to Kim Hyun-tae.

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by Dave, Kim Hyun-tae is also very confident about this.

You must know that the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" that he pirated has continuously sold tens of millions of copies in the past ten years in the original time and space, and there is no sales decline at all.

It can be seen that after the publication of this novel, Kim Hyun-tae has obtained a long-term meal ticket, and he no longer has to worry about economic problems.

Basically, if there is no accident, he can get a lot of copyright income from the publishing house every month.

Compared with the money he made from the two jobs he quit, it must be much more.

Moreover, in the future, Kim Hyun-tae can also hope that the novel will be changed into a film and television drama, or even drawn into a comic, and some foreign publishers will come to discuss this kind of thing.

Once there is such a thing, 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.

According to the sales data of this novel in the original time and space, and the population of the United States in this time and space,

If it can sell more than 500 million copies in at least two decades, there is no problem at all.

Then, based on the sales figure of 500 million books, twenty years is 48 months. After dividing it, it can be found that one million novels can be sold in an average month.

California Culture Publishing acts as an agent for the novel. Even if it is priced at 10 yuan a book for sale, Jin Xiantai can get 10% of the copyright income, which is 1 million yuan, based on the sales volume of 1 million a month.

Of course, Kim Hyun-tae can't actually get so much money, after all, he still has to pay a high personal income tax of up to 35%.

But even so, the income is not cheap.

Basically, Kim Hyun-tae can instantly get rid of the identity of a woman and become a middle-class elite.

Kim Hyun-tae, who heard the words, 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 a better living environment and conditions for my daughter."

Kim Hyun-tae is more polite than a Westerner. After all, he is still an Easterner in his bones, not the "banana man" Chinese boy who was forged for him by an unscrupulous alien elementary school student.

"Oh, where do you live now? Or an orphanage?"

Dave was very curious about this.

"No, I have already left the orphanage, and now I am renting a house with my daughter alone. However, the security in the community where I live is not very good, and the gang problem there is very serious, which makes me very headache."

Kim Hyun-tae responded to Dave with a half-truth and a half-fake. Some of the information was forged by unscrupulous alien elementary school students, and half of it was true.

After all, Kim Hyun-tae has lived in this time and space with his daughter for half a year, and there is no way to falsify the trajectory of this half-year.

"It's really not very good to live in such a community, but you don't have to 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 Chinese boy, Dave's senses are getting better and better, so he temporarily decided to wait until the contract is successfully signed, and he will give Kim Hyun-tae a small signing fee.

It stands to reason that there is no signing fee for new authors, and only those big-name authors will have this kind of treatment.

However, considering that I have a good sense of this young man, and at the same time, he is also the person who the big boss behind the scenes, Miss Anne, specially told me to take care of him, so if I use my power to take care of him a little, it shouldn't be a big problem.

At least, Miss Anne won't have any objections.

As long as Miss Anne has no objections, even if this matter is known to other minority shareholders, it is impossible to have any influence on her.

"And the signing fee?"

Hearing what Dave said, even Kim Hyun-tae became a little excited.

You know, even though he has the 6,000 yuan in cash accumulated over the past six months, he has the confidence to quit his two jobs after the novel matter is settled.

But the 6,000 yuan in cash is at most enough to allow him and his daughter to have enough food and drink for a few months. As for changing residences and getting rid of that dangerous community, it is impossible at all.

But if Dave gives himself a signing fee, it doesn't need to be much, even with thousands of dollars in cash, Kim Hyun-tae can start planning to move out.

So, it's no wonder that Kim Hyun-tae got a little excited.

"Uh..." Kim Hyun-tae showed a hesitant expression, looking a little nervous, but in the end he mustered up the courage to ask: "Sorry, Mr. Dave, can you tell me how much the general signing fee is?"

"Forgive me, I'm not the kind of person who is open to money, but if I have enough money, I want to leave the community I'm renting in a short time, so please forgive me for asking."

After all, it happened for a reason, and it was understandable for these Daves.

Although the exact address of the young Chinese in front of him is still unclear, basically everyone knows the areas in Los Angeles where the law and order is very poor.

It can be seen that the place where this Chinese boy lives now must be in these areas.

As a person who has lived in Los Angeles all his life, how could Dave not know the harsh law and order environment in those areas and the various dangers that are full of them.

If it weren't for the poor economic conditions, most people would really not choose to live in those places.

And Kim Hyun-tae is an orphan with another child, so the reason for choosing which place to live is very clear, that is, the rent is cheap.

Otherwise, as a 16-year-old boy, he has to support his children and work to earn money. How could he live in a house in a community with good security.

You must know that although the rents of those houses are not very high, houses with a rent of 2,500 yuan and above are not affordable by Kim Hyun-tae.

"20,000 yuan, you can get a 20,000 yuan signing fee."

Dave said a number that made Kim Hyun-tae's heart beat so hard.

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.

Then, the next step is to see if there is any problem with the contract given by the publishing house. As long as there is no problem, Kim Hyun-tae will basically not change his mind.

After all, if the conditions given by Dave's publishing house are not satisfactory, he can't find better ones from other publishing houses.

Chatted with Dave again, and after Kim Hyun-tae revealed some half-truths and forged personal information, the secretary Laura appeared again and interrupted his chat with Dave.

"This is a prepared contract. You can take a look at it first. If there is no problem, we will formally sign it when the lawyer arrives."

Reaching out to take the contract handed over by Dave, he flipped through it casually. There were at least twenty or thirty pages. Jin Xiantai then lowered his head to look carefully at the contents of the contract and various terms.

With the passage of time, half an hour passed quickly, and the lawyer called by Dave arrived at the office in ten minutes, but Kim Hyun-tae hadn't read the contract yet, so the lawyer could only talk to Dave in a low voice. While chatting, he waited for Kim Hyun-tae.

After carefully reading each clause, Kim Hyun-tae did not find any pitfalls or loopholes. This publishing agreement contract was done very carefully, and the distribution of rights and interests in each clause was also very clear, without any ambiguity or ambiguity.

At the same time, as Dave said, all the favorable conditions are clearly written in the publishing agreement.

At this moment, Jin Xiantai no longer had any worries, and looked up at Dave who was chatting with the lawyer in a low voice: "I read it, the agreement contract is fine, so can we start signing now?"
