Halloween night is very lively. When Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter Coco and Annie out of the house and came to the street in the community, he had already seen groups of children dragging cloth pockets or small plastic buckets from house to house. The door-to-door is knocking.
Cocoa saw so many children, she was very excited for a while, she kept pointing her finger at the children older than her, shouting excitedly, "Give me candy, or make trouble if you don't give it!"
Kim Hyun Tae patted his daughter helplessly: "Those brothers and sisters also want candy, you have to ask the adults to get them."
As for how to spend Halloween, the little guy Coco is very strange. After all, it is the first time for her to celebrate this holiday. She thought that anyone could ask for sweets when she went out.
Hearing what his father said, he was about to go to the ground immediately, not intending to be held in his arms by his father.
Coco's "Earthworm Magic + Carp Fighting Technique" is very powerful, and finally Jin Xiantai let her go.
Out of his father's arms, Coco standing on the ground took his father's hand: "Go! Go! Go to an adult for candy, Cocoa for candy."
Looking at the cute look of Coco, who was anxious and wanted to find an adult to get the candy, Annie stood on the side and couldn't help but smile and bend over.
"Okay, okay, okay, why are you so anxious."
smiled helplessly, Kim Hyun-tae looked at Annie who was laughing.
"Next, I’ll trouble you. Take the little guy and get some candy from the neighbors. Don’t go far, just stay nearby. I have to stay and deal with the kids who want candy at our house. If I go away Those children who come over don’t want sugar, but they will be sad."
Considering that there will be children knocking on the door at home, Kim Hyun-tae decided to ask Annie to take cocoa to ask for sweets, and he stayed and waited for the other children to come.
Anne has no objection to this arrangement.
On the contrary, Kim Hyun-tae’s idea of considering other people’s considerations made Annie admire it very much.
"No problem, I will take care of Cocoa."
Annie nodded and walked over. She bent down and looked down at Coco and asked, "I'll hold you and ask for candy, okay? We need more candy together than everyone else."
Cocoa would still object when he heard it, and immediately raised her head and opened her arms to Annie, asking her to hold herself and ask for sweets.
"Cacao wants the most sugar! More than everyone else."
"Definitely, we must be able to get the most sugar." Annie agreed cocoa very fondly, making the little guy very happy.
At the same time, Annie had seen that her old housekeeper, Nod, was standing outside his house not far away, sending sweets to every kid who knocked on the door.
With her own, Annie is afraid of breaking her trust in Cocoa.
said that if you want the most sugar, you will definitely get the most sugar.
For this, Annie is still confident.
"Then I will take cocoa to play."
"Go ahead, your idea is safe."
Sitting at the door of his house, Kim Hyun-tae watched Annie leave with her daughter. Fortunately, the community here is very safe, so Kim Hyun-tae doesn’t have to worry too much.
Suddenly, the trouser pocket vibrated. Someone called me. Kim Hyun Tae immediately reached out his hand and took the phone out of his pocket, and then pressed the answer button.
"Happy Halloween!"
answered the phone, and Dave’s familiar voice rang in his ears.
Jin Xiantai could hear that Dave’s voice over there was a bit noisy. Obviously, the other party might also be with the children at home at this time to spend this happy holiday.
"Happy Halloween, Mr. Dave."
Kim Hyun Tae responded in the same way.
After greeting each other, Dave on the other side of the phone directly said to Kim Hyun-tae: "Your royalty share has been calculated this month. A total of 2.2 million copies of "A Song of Ice and Fire" were sold in October. A total of 4406,000 yuan copyright share, we will credit the money to your bank account tomorrow morning, and you can check it when the time comes."
唔, this is good news. I have more than 4 million yuan before tax.
After hearing the news from Dave, Kim Hyun-tae was in a good mood, and immediately jumped a few steps.
"Oh, isn't it, this is really good news."
"The good news is still there." Dave haha, and continued: "Your fairy tale, although it hasn't been on the market for a long time, its sales have been very hot. This is our publishing house. Thought-of."
After notifying Kim Hyun-tae of the copyright division of "A Song of Ice and Fire", Dave brought up Kim Hyun-tae’s collection of fairy tales.
Compared to the "Song of Ice and Fire" which is currently on sale, Kim Hyun-tae also cares about the sales of "Fairy Tale".
After all, the first volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire" has just been published. Although it can sell well, the follow-up plot has not yet begun. Kim Hyun-tae himself knows that such a big sales situation is impossible.
Therefore, as long as the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" can be guaranteed for the time being that he will receive millions of dollars every month and the sales volume will be stable.
redundant, he doesn't ask for anything.
But because he had seen the sales data of "Fairy Tale" when he entered the backstage of the publishing house a few days ago, he had higher expectations for "Fairy Tale".
At the same time, because of the hot sales expectations of fairy tales, Kim Hyun-tae has some other considerations.
All the above reasons have caused Kim Hyun-tae to attach great importance to fairy tales.
"A Song of Ice and Fire" did not start before, and "Lord of the Rings" is not as popular. It is "Fairy Tale" that Kim Hyun Tae can count on for big money.
So, when he heard what Dave said, he immediately asked: "Then Mr. Dave, can you tell me how the sales of fairy tales are now? I haven't logged into the back office of the publishing house these days to check Through this information."
"Hey." Dave on the other end of the phone laughed, "The sales are hot! I can only answer you with these words. In less than ten days, the publishing house has sold a total of 7 million copies in the United States. The number, and the evaluation of this number by our people, is far from reaching the peak."
Have you sold 7 million copies of "Fairy Tales Collection" in less than ten days?
Kim Hyun Tae was also surprised after hearing this.
Earlier, he saw only 960,000 copies, but now there are more than 7 million copies!
But considering the huge population of this world, after thinking about the 7 million sales figures, Kim Hyun-tae slowly calmed down.
But even so, this sales volume is not low, after all, it has only been on the market for ten days.
Dave continued to say to Kim Hyun-tae: "The sales of "Fairy Tale" is so hot that some people have seen business opportunities. Today, someone has approached me from the publishing house. Let me convey to you what they want to cooperate. For example, "Fairy Tales" "Story" is animated, and some people find me who want to translate it into other languages and publish it abroad, so I need to get the agency right..."
Here, listening to Dave talking about the good news, Kim Hyun-tae was dealing with the children who started coming to ask for sweets one after another. He would give a lot of sweets to each child, and those little guys who are happy are silly. of.
These things Dave told himself are really good news.
Especially the foreign language version of "Fairy Tale" is equivalent to creating wealth for myself again.
Dave talked a big deal over there, and finally asked Jin Xiantai: "What do you mean by this side? How should I reply to them?"
Indeed, Dave has said so much, but in the end he still has to ask Kim Hyun Tae for his opinion.
After all, the copyright of "Fairy Tales" is basically in the hands of Kim Hyun-tae, and the publisher only gets the agency rights for the English version in the United States.
Therefore, if someone came to ask about the animation of "Fairy Tale" or translate it into a foreign language and then sell the "Fairy Tale" abroad, neither the publisher nor Dave had the right to give the other party an exact answer.
This must be done by asking Kim Hyun-tae to see what he means.
It is precisely because of this that Dave made a brisk call and asked him about this matter while telling him that the new royalty share has been counted.
For those people who have been sensitively aware of business opportunities when "Fairy Tale" has just become popular, Kim Hyun-tae is really impressed.
He thinks that if he is himself, he will not have such a sensitive business sense.
After Jin Xiantai sighed in his heart, he began to quickly weigh the gains and losses in his mind.
Considering that he already had some plans, he just thought about it for a little bit and decided how to make Dave respond to those people.
"Regardless of the foreign language publishing agency rights of "Fairy Tales" in any country, I authorize Mr. Dave to help me with your publishing house. The ultimate benefit is equal to all of us. I believe Mr. Dave will help maintain the corresponding interests. , After all, I have been taken care of by you for so long..."
Thinking of Dave's ‘help’ to him all the time, Kim Hyun-tae also felt that he should reciprocate.
Didn’t he know that it’s most appropriate for him to interview those who are interested in acting for "Fairy Tale" and foreign sales agents?
Of course Kim Hyun Tae knew.
But after his careful consideration, Kim Hyun-tae felt that it was best to entrust Dave to talk for himself, because this was the most trouble-free way.
Money! A person also earns money from an incomplete world. Although he loves money very much and likes more money, the better, but he also understands that sometimes it is necessary to share some money for others.
Kim Hyun Tae is not Xiao Bai, after all, he has the soul of an adult.
What's more, Dave's publishing house has always taken care of himself. Now that he has such an opportunity, it is normal to give back to the other party.
only knows to ask for, but not to give back. This is the method of the white-eyed wolf.
As a traditional Chinese, Jin Xiantai advocates the kind of dripping water to give back to the spring. If you are good to me, I will treat you well.
So now that I have this opportunity, and I can win-win, and save myself a lot of trouble, why not do it myself.
After a few months of contact, Jin Xiantai thinks that Dave will not be able to cheat himself. If he would have been cheated, how could he wait until now.
The novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" by the newcomer author can make such a generous agreement. Obviously Dave will not be black-hearted in this matter.
It is normal for Kim Hyun-tae to think this way.
People's hearts are both fleshy. He and Dave have been in contact for a few months, and it can be said that Dave's senses are very good.
It’s just that Kim Hyun-tae doesn’t know at all. The reason why he receives preferential treatment is mainly because of Annie.
Otherwise, would Dave treat him so favorably?
But after all, Jin Xiantai didn't understand, so he could only thank Dave wrongly.
And Dave on the other side of the phone obviously did not expect that Kim Hyun-tae would make such a decision. This is equivalent to sharing the benefits for the publishing house.
In a money-supreme country like the United States, people like Kim Hyun Tae are really... Dave can't describe his feelings at this moment.
Originally, he was very good to the senses of Kim Hyun-tae, the ‘young’, but now because of this incident, his senses have improved several levels.
kindness! Responsible! Good morals! Personal morality is also good!
Dave can't wait for him to have a daughter... what is that.
Therefore, Dave on the other end of the phone was thrown into a state of cranky thinking. Standing in front of his house, he looked dull and silly, making the children passing by look straight and laugh.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, and at the same time he looked like he was still dreaming, and he said in a sigh of relief: "I...I haven't heard of it, right? You mean..."
Although he didn't face Dave face-to-face, Kim Hyun-tae could still imagine Dave's current appearance through his imagination. It must be that kind of dullness.
Jin Xiantai smiled slightly, and said, "You heard it right. I just want to give the agency of the foreign language version to the publishing house to talk to those who are interested. I will share the benefits of the talk with the publishing house. Because I trust you, Mr. Dave, and I will save some worry, right, it will be good for you and me."
As long as you are not a fool, you know that if you go to talk, you will get more benefits, but Kim Hyun-tae knew this, but he still gave it to the publishing house.
So it is impossible to say that Dave is not moved.
He has seen a lot of authors who see money and eyes open, and few people can do like Jin Xiantai in the face of profit.
"Thank you for your trust in me and the publishing house. The language is too pale. I really cannot say anything to you. But I can use my personality to guarantee that I will protect your interests to the greatest extent possible. Leave it to me."
Dave has made a guarantee here. Hyun Tae can still trust his guarantee. After all, it has not been a short time for him to deal with Dave, and he has a better understanding of Dave's behavior.
Thinking about it, Kim Hyun-tae also felt that he should trust Dave.
"As for the animation, I don't plan to sell it, so you will reject those who are interested. I will keep these copyrights in my own hands. I naturally have my own plans."
Nonsense, filmed as an animation, can affect how many children.
The classic characters in the fairy tale are taken out around them, and how much wealth can they bring to themselves! ?
Therefore, if Kim Hyun Tae is not a fool, he would not let him out.
This is what he decided long ago.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be anxious. After logging into the backstage of the publishing house a few days ago and seeing the fairy tale sales data, he immediately had the plan to buy a toy factory and an animation company.
Because he knows best ~EbookFREE.me~ what fairy tales can bring to him.
Originally, he only had the idea that he couldn't understand the dark fairy tales of this world, which prompted Jin Xiantai to create such a fairy tale book.
I thought that after this book was written, it could be regarded as a gift for my daughter in the future, so that she would not need to continue to be devastated by the wonderful fairy tales of this world.
But looking at it now, there is actually such a result, which he didn't even think of.
But now that this is the case, what else can Kim Hyun Tae do?
can only accept it happily.
"Okay! I wrote it down, everything will be done according to your requirements." After Dave confirmed Jin Xiantai's idea, he made another promise, and then the two chatted again and ended the call.
Kim Hyun-tae, who finished the call, looked up and saw his daughter walking home with a bulging blood-red cloth bag accompanied by Annie.
The blood-red cloth pocket is placed on a small four-wheeled vehicle, so Cocoa pulls effortlessly and very easily.
don't know where the little guy got it.
But obviously the little guy has gained a lot.
"Daddy! I got a lot of sweets, and an old grandpa gave me a lot, and he also gave me a car."
Cocoa, which hadn't arrived home, was in desperate need, and began to show off his harvest to his father.
Looking at his happy daughter, Kim Hyun-tae showed his big white teeth and smiled very brightly.
"Wow! Cocoa is amazing."
Cocoa raised a small face: "Of course, Coco is already very powerful~EbookFREE.me~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read. The latest, fastest, and hottest serial works are available at ~EbookFREE.me~ mobile phone users Please go to read.
