Chapter 8 The Publisher's Response
I checked my e-mail, but the e-mail was empty, and there was not a single email. It was obvious that none of the publishing houses I had submitted had responded.
However, Kim Hyun-tae is not disappointed about this at all. After all, it has only been a few days, and it seems unrealistic to respond to himself in such a short period of time.
You must know that the Earth Federation of this time and space, even the United States has a population of more than 4 billion, so these publishing houses will face a lot of submissions, and the processing time will be longer.
It is obviously impossible to find my own manuscript among so many submissions, and then determine some problems.
I am not a well-known author, so it is impossible to have special channels and treatment, and I can get special treatment from those publishing houses.
It is precisely because he knows this truth well that Kim Hyun-tae is not disappointed or discouraged by the current situation at all.
Novel submissions get a response within a few hours, and then they are signed and published and then sold. That is a bridge that only exists in online novels. The author who sells novels has a certain reputation, and there may be such a possibility.
But now... huh...
The daughter no longer crawled around at this time, and after some tests by the little guy herself, she found that she was still unable to stand up, so she had to give up the plan to stand up and walk, and after climbing for a while, the little guy had already hid In the corner, I sat there and played alone.
A child can play with anything, even without toys. The little guy is like this now, she is sitting alone in the corner of the living room, with her back against the wall, struggling with the carpet by herself.
Since his daughter is having fun, Kim Hyun-tae is happy not to disturb her, and he can have some free time to do some things of his own.
After closing the e-mail, Kim Hyun-tae opened the webpage and began to search for some instant news.
There are many types of online news in the United States, and there are news information in various aspects, but most of them are about Europe and the United States, not so much about Asia, and more about entertainment gossip.
It has always been one of the most important means for Kim Hyun-tae to understand this time and space through online news, after all, it is very convenient.
Although online news sometimes has false news, as long as you can distinguish carefully, it is actually a good choice to collect information in this way and understand this time and space.
[American Post]
The content is that Japan Heavy Industries has spent huge sums of money to purchase 60% of the high-rise buildings in Times Square in New York, and it is almost monopolizing the "advertising sign buildings" in Times Square. These sour tones make Kim Hyun-tae feel funny.
At the same time, it also gave Kim Hyun-tae a little understanding of how rich the Japanese in this time and space are.
Other Internet news, taken from several newspaper media, is also full of news that the Japanese are waving money in the United States and buying companies and real estate.
Half an hour later, Kim Hyun-tae closed these news webpages, turned to the entertainment gossip website, and began to read the gossip and celebrity gossip.
However, although he opened the entertainment gossip website, Kim Hyun-tae didn't put it in his heart, but thought about such a question, that is, 'why does this historical event in time and space not match a certain timeline? '.
Such doubts arose when Kim Hyun-tae bought a second-hand laptop and was able to surf the Internet.
When he first learned about this, Kim Hyun-tae was very surprised.
You know, the timeline of this space-time is 2015.
It's just that from before 2015 to 1949 in this time and space, many historical events that happened in his original time and space,
In this time and space, basically nothing has appeared.
Therefore, this time and space seems so weird to Kim Hyun-tae.
For example, an Iraqi president named Saddam Hussein is still alive and enjoying his life, and the Iran-Iraq war has never broken out. According to news sources, he has intentionally passed on power to the The son is gone.
Similarly, Colonel Kafei in Libya is still alive and kicking, and the beautiful bodyguards around him are still making sacrifices and dedications for him. Of course, this Colonel named Kafi is in this time and space, and another time and space. Like Colonel Gaddafi, he is also a staunch anti-American fighter.
The Soviet Union did not invade Afghanistan. Although the domestic situation in Afghanistan at this time is not very good, and it is still an imperial dictatorship, it is relatively stable compared to Afghanistan in another time and space.
Although the countries on the African continent have established independent states, they still have not escaped the influence of some European countries. France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries have great influence in Africa.
Look, what a weird history and timeline, it really shocked Kim Hyun-tae back then.
But after living in this time and space for half a year, Kim Hyun-tae is already able to accept all this.
The daughter started to grow teeth, and at the same time, she didn't want to continue to be held in her father's arms or carried in a baby carrier. The child began to grow, which made Kim Hyun-tae happy but also a little sad.
After all, his daughter is unwilling to stay quietly now, so how can he take the child to work in the future.
After all, as a single father, he really can't take care of everything and at the same time make money to support himself and his children.
Hiring a nanny to take care of his daughter is a good choice, but considering that if he hires an unreliable nanny, if he is a black-hearted one, it will be too late for him to regret it.
My own children hurt themselves, especially in this immigrant country with a multi-racial structure, Kim Hyun-tae really has no confidence in hiring a nanny to take care of the children so that he can work with peace of mind.
Glancing at the little guy he was having a great time playing with, Jin Xiantai's face was full of sadness.
"Hey! I hope that the publishing house can give me an answer as soon as possible. I can smoothly handle the publishing of my novels and make money. In this way, I can change my current living environment and have a good and stable economic condition. Completely and completely get rid of these two jobs now, and then take care of my daughter with peace of mind."
In this regard, Kim Hyun-tae can only pin his hopes on the publication of his novel, hoping that after the publication of the novel, he can get rid of his current environment and situation. No matter how much other things are considered, it is false.
Without money, in this time and space, in this country, it is really difficult to move forward.
Then Kim Hyun-tae got up and prepared dinner for himself and his daughter. After dinner, he played with his daughter for a while. Then Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter to a Chinese restaurant for a second job as usual, and returned home to rest after finishing work in the middle of the night. The next morning, I took my daughter to the car wash.
Although there is hope in life, when the publication of the novel is not yet in sight, Kim Hyun-tae still has to grit his teeth and carry on with his daughter.
At the same time, just as Kim Hyun-tae was worried, the daughter is not easy to take care of now. The little guy no longer wants to be carried on his back by his father all day long, but hopes to be put down by his father and crawl around on the ground by himself.
But as a father, Kim Hyun-tae, how could he do this.
After all, there are cars coming and going at the car wash, and a bad little guy crawling around will cause big problems, so no matter how the little guy makes trouble behind his back, Jin Xiantai just doesn't satisfy the little guy's wish.
The result is obvious, Jin Xiantai has become a little more difficult at work, and the little guy's fuss has also aroused some criticism from the workers.
In this way, during this period, while working hard, Kim Hyun-tae endured criticism, cold eyes and ridicule, and spent a month waiting for the "difficult life" of the publishing house to give him feedback. Until mid-August, the dozens of papers he submitted Among the publishing houses, finally one publishing house replied to me.
In this e-mail from 'California Culture Publishing House', it is clear that Kim Hyun-tae is very optimistic about his novels, and he can sign a publishing agreement with Kim Hyun-tae. I hope that Kim Hyun-tae can contact me to discuss the meeting and the contract after receiving the email. Wait for a series of questions.
At the same time, the other party stated in the e-mail that they can guarantee that once the publishing agreement is negotiated, the protection of interests given to Kim Hyun-tae will definitely be the most favorable.
Kim Hyun-tae didn't take the promise at the end of the other party's email to heart at all. After all, the descriptions are all fake, but it can be seen from the other party's email that the other party is really optimistic about himself' Shanzhai's novel is just that.
The obvious ambition is to win.
it is good! well!
As long as the other party takes a fancy to this novel, then everything will be fine.
This is what Kim Hyun-tae cares most about.
At the very least, it can be explained that as long as I and the other party can show sincerity and settle the matter of publishing, then I can completely get rid of this kind of life of filth and improve financially.
As for the question of whether the novel will make money or not, that is not what Kim Hyun-tae is worried about at all, because it is not a problem at all.
You know, this pirated version of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is in another time and space on the earth. It is a very popular novel. After ten years of selling, the English version alone has sold tens of millions of copies. Filmed TV series, adapted games, and comics, and the various benefits brought by it were enough to make the author earn a lot of money.
And in this parallel space-time earth federation where the population base has expanded tenfold, Kim Hyun-tae can foresee the benefits that this novel can bring to him even with his butt and knees.
Therefore, when he got home from work in the middle of the night and checked his e-mail, and dialed the phone number left by the other party in the middle of the night. After confirming this, the first thing he did was to call the car wash overnight, and A Chinese restaurant asked for leave, and was going to [California Culture Publishing House] to discuss matters related to the publishing contract with the other party the next day.
Because he has saved some money in the past six months, Kim Hyun-tae is not worried about the financial pressure and burden after resigning. It is just that he has a soul in his thirties. Before he is sure that the novel can be published, he will I won't go out of my way.
That's not what a smart person would do, so Kim Hyun Tae just asked for leave, not resigned.
But once the publishing house gets it done, Kim Hyun-tae will definitely resign, so don't even think about it.
He saves 1,000 yuan every month, and the cash in Jin Xiantai's hands in the past six months is now 6,000 yuan.
With the 6,000 yuan, it is enough for him and his daughter to not have to worry about any problems in their lives for a few months, so as long as the publishing house negotiates with him, Kim Hyun-tae can survive for a while after resigning.
That night, the excited Kim Hyun-tae didn't fall asleep the whole night, so he had to take his daughter out to the publishing house with dark circles under his eyes the next day.
