Chapter 13

Dave felt that he couldn't sit here and wait with Jin Xiantai, and the atmosphere would be very awkward. So Dale spoke first and chatted casually with Jin Xiantai.

"Is this child yours? "

" no, this is my daughter. "

" I can't see that if you become a father so young, will the mother of the child be your age? "

" yes, we grew up in an orphanage. "

" are you and your child's mother still in school? You should still be in school at your age. But it's hard to raise children while going to school, isn't it? There are three children in my family who are very hard to understand. "

" I have dropped out of school. The mother of the child died in a car accident last year. In order to support this little guy, I have to drop out of school to earn money, otherwise I can't support her at all. "

Jin Xiantai used the unruly alien primary school student to fake the life information of this time and space for himself, preying on Dave in front of him.

And he remembered his wife's smile and voice, and his happy life in another time and space. His face suddenly showed a sad look without any hypocrisy.

Dale looked at it and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned your sadness."

The virtuous people of the same age will experience all kinds of sweet and sour hands earlier than me. However, it is impossible for me to put on all kinds of sweet and sour hands. "

I have a deep understanding of life. At this age, it is not easy to say such words.

Of course, this kind of life is really a pity.

Dave's eyes gradually softened as he looked at Kim Hyun Tai. After all, this is a young man who tries hard to face the hardships of life. He is much better than the boys who just ask their parents for money and then go out and get girls.

Well, it's much better than my three sons.

You know, 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 carried it with his immature shoulder.

As a 16-year-old orphan, supporting a child less than 1 year old by himself, the difficulties and hardships in this can be imagined by Dave.

"Life will get better and better. After your novel is published, it will definitely bring you economic improvement. It is a very good novel, and I can guarantee that. "

the atmosphere was a bit dull, so Dave shifted the topic and talked about the topic that after the novel was published, it would bring rich rewards to Jin Xiantai.

In fact, there is no need for Dave to say that Jin Xiantai is also very confident about this.

You know, his pirated novel song of ice and fire has sold tens of millions of copies in the original space and time in the past ten years, and there is no decline in sales at all.

It can be seen that after the publication of this novel, Jin Xiantai was equal to saying that he got a long-term meal ticket, so he didn't have to worry about economic problems any more.

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

It must be much more money than the two jobs he quit.

Moreover, in the future, Jin Xiantai can also hope that novels will be changed, films and TV plays, and even be drawn into cartoons. Some foreign publishers will come to discuss such matters.

Once that happens, his income will rise again.

What's more, the population base of this world is ten times that of its original time and space.

Therefore, Jin Xiantai is not worried at all.

According to the sales data of the novel in the original time and space, and the population of the United States alone in this time and space, it can sell more than 500 million copies in at least 20 years, which is no problem.

Then, based on the sales volume of 500 million copies, 20 years is 48 months. If we divide it into two parts, we can find that on average, one million copies of novels can be sold in one month.

Even if the price is 10 yuan per copy, Jin Xiantai can get 10% of the copyright income, that is, one million yuan of copyright income.

Of course, Jin Xiantai can't get so much money. After all, he has to pay a high personal income tax of up to 35%.

But even so, the income is not cheap.

Basically, it can make Jin Xiantai get rid of his status as a middle-class elite in an instant.

Hearing this, Jin Xiantai smiles and gets rid of the painful memories.

"With your good words, I also hope that the novels will sell well, so that I can have the money to live in a better community and provide a better living environment and conditions for my daughter."

Jin Xiantai is more polite, not like westerners. After all, he is still an oriental in his bones, rather than the "banana man" Chinese teenager who was forged for him by unscrupulous alien primary school students."Oh, where do you live now? Is it an orphanage? "

Dave was curious about this.

"No, I've left the orphanage, and now I'm renting out with my daughter alone. However, the public security in the community is not very good. The gang problem there is very serious, which makes me very headache

Jin Xiantai half true and half false response to Dave, some of the information is alien unscrupulous primary school students forged, half of which is true.

After all, Jin Xiantai and his daughter lived in this space and time for half a year, and there was no way to fake the trajectory of this half year.

"It's not good to live in such a community, but you don't have to worry. After signing the agreement, you will get a signing fee. Although the money is not much, it can also let you move out of the place."

As for Jin Xiantai, a young Chinese American, his senses are getting better and better, so he temporarily decided to give Jin Xiantai a small signing fee after the contract is successfully signed.

According to the law, there is no contract fee for new authors, only those famous authors will have such treatment.

However, considering that he has a good sense of this young man, and that he is also the person that Miss Anne, the boss behind the scenes, specially tells him to take care of him, then if he uses his power to take care of him, there should be no problem.

At least, there will be no complaints from Miss Anne.

As long as Miss Annie has no opinion, even if it is known by other small shareholders, it is impossible for her to have any influence.

"And the signing fee?"

Even Jin Xiantai was a little excited when he heard that.

You know, although he has six thousand yuan in cash that he has accumulated for half a year, he has the strength to quit two jobs after the novel is finished.

But the six thousand yuan cash, at most, is only to enable him and his daughter to eat and drink in a few months. As for the matter of changing residence and getting rid of the dangerous community, it is impossible.

But if Dave gives himself a signing fee, it doesn't need to be much. Even if he has thousands of yuan in cash, Jin Xiantai can start planning to move away.

Therefore, it's no wonder that Jin Xiantai will be a little excited.

"Er..." Jin Xiantai appeared to be hesitant, but finally he summoned up the courage to ask: "sorry, Mr. Dave, can you tell me how much the general signing fee is?"

"Excuse me, I'm not a money seeker, but if I have enough money, I want to leave the community I rent in a short time, so please forgive me for asking."

After all, there's a reason for it, and it's understandable for these defs.

Although it is not clear that the exact address of the young Chinese in front of them is still unknown, we are basically aware of the poor law and order areas in Los Angeles.

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

As a person who has lived in Los Angeles all his life, how can he not understand the harsh security environment and the dangers in those areas.

If it was not for poor economic conditions, ordinary people would not really choose those places to live.

Jin Xiantai is an orphan with a child, so the reason for choosing a place to live is very clear. The rent is cheap.

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

You know, although the rent of those houses is not very high, the houses with the rent of 2500 yuan and above are not affordable by Jin Xiantai.

"20000 yuan, you can get 20000 yuan signing fee."

Dave said a number, which made Jin Xiantai's heart beat violently.

20000 yuan!

With this money, I can take my daughter out of the dangerous community.

Although it's not a lot of money, it can really be of great use.

Well, the next thing is to see if there is any problem with the contract given by the publishing house. As long as there is no problem, Jin Xiantai will not change his mind.

After all, if Dave's publishing house doesn't meet the requirements, he won't find a better one from other publishers.

After chatting with Dave again, Jin Xiantai revealed some half true and fake personal information a little, then Lola, secretary, appeared again, interrupting his chat with Dave.

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

he reached for the contract from Dave and flipped through it. There were at least 20 or 30 pages. Jin Xiantai immediately looked down at the contract and carefully examined the contents and terms of the contract.

As time went on, half an hour passed quickly. The lawyer whom Dave called arrived at the office in ten minutes. However, Jin Xiantai had not finished reading the contract. So the lawyer could only chat with Dave in a low voice and wait for Jin Xiantai.After carefully reading each clause, Jin Xiantai did not find any pitfalls and loopholes. The Publishing Agreement and contract are very careful, and the rights and interests distribution of each clause are also very clear, without any ambiguity and ambiguity.

At the same time, as Dave said, all the favorable conditions were clearly stated in the Publishing Agreement.

At this time, Jin Xiantai had no worries. He looked up at Dave, who was chatting with the lawyer in a low voice: "I have seen it. There is no problem with the contract. Can we start signing now? “
