Dave's office is very simple, against the wall is a large dark bookcase, which is full of neat books, and next to it is a filing cabinet, and the shelves of the filing cabinet are also full of brown paper bags, which are all documents.

On the other side is Dave's large desk, on which are computers, documents, and various office supplies, as well as a photo frame of him and his family.

Next to the desk is a large safe, and it is obvious that some important items or documents and contracts must be placed in this safe, not in the file cabinet outside.

At the same time, there is a shelf in Dave's office with some trophies, honor boxes, and a photo of himself.

With just one glance, Kim Hyun-tae saw that in those photos, Dale was either playing golf, riding a horse, or fishing.

It can be seen from these photos that Dave is a person who is very good at enjoying life, and his entertainment and leisure activities are still very rich in private.

Of course, just like the original time and space, in the American shooting society of this time and space, people like Dave are also very happy to enjoy the kind of leisure and entertainment life outside of work.

After all, he has lived in the United States in this time and space for half a year, and at the same time, in the original time and space, Kim Hyun Tae can also learn some information about the United States through the Internet, so he doesn't feel anything curious about people like Dave.

Retracting his gaze, Kim Hyun Tae went straight to the point, not wanting to waste time beating around the bush, and went straight to the point: "Mr. Dave, please forgive me for being a little direct, I don't want to waste your and my time, so I want to know what kind of conditions your publishing house is willing to offer?"

If it is in the East, it is a bit rude for Kim Hyun Tae to do this, after all, everyone needs to greet each other in the East before they can enter the theme.

But this is the United States, although it is the United States in a parallel time and space, but the American style of this time and space is basically the same as the original time and space, and there is no difference.

Therefore, Dave didn't react much to such a direct Kim Hyun Tae, after all, Westerners are also willing to communicate in such a direct way.

Sitting down opposite Kim Hyun Tae, Dave also looked at the Asian young man in front of him, and at the same time, his eyes did not miss the daughter in Kim Hyun Tae's arms, and even stayed on the child for a little longer.

"Our publishing house is willing to act as an agent for the publication of novels in the United States, and we don't want any rights and interests in other aspects such as film and television dramas, all of which are still in your hands. And our publisher has the right to have priority agency when the novel has the opportunity to be published abroad.

As for the royalties, our publishing house is willing to give you 10% of the price, I think you should have a detailed understanding of some rules in the publishing industry before coming to me, so you should know that the conditions I give are very generous. “

Since Kim Hyun-tae got straight to the point, Dave's side did not beat around the bush, and as soon as he came up, he directly told Kim Hyun-tae Publishing House about the conditions.

Listening to Dave's words, Kim Hyun-tae's heart also churned.

That's what Dave said, the conditions he gave were so generous that people couldn't fault them at all.

Originally, before coming here, Kim Hyun-tae really learned about the rules of publishing through the Internet, so of course he knew that Dave did not have a word of lie.

For a newcomer novel author, you are not famous at all, even if the novel is favored by the publishing house, you can give 5~6% of the copyright fee, it is already good luck to burn high incense.

There are even some publishing houses that give new authors such a low copyright fee of 2%.

Don't talk about those authors who can get 30% of the copyright fee, this is not comparable at all, you must know that the authors who can get the publisher to give 30% of the copyright fee are basically written more than a dozen blockbuster novels and have a lot of fame to get them.

You say that a newcomer with no name, why should you have such ambitions?

This is simply not realistic.

Kim Hyun-tae is certainly not such a person, he knows very well where his bottom line is.

Originally, when he came to see Dave, he had already set a bottom line for himself, but who would have thought that it would not be the case at all now.

The conditions on Dave's side were opened, and the generosity made Kim Hyun Tae dumbfounded.

Fortunately, under Kim Hyun-tae's young appearance, he is the soul of a middle-aged man, so he hid it well, and he didn't let all his emotions be revealed, so he didn't feel ashamed.

"Please, my presumption, Mr. Dave, your terms are really good, and if the publishing agreement is drafted exactly as you want, I can't think of any reason to refuse to cooperate.

But I'm also very curious, I'm just a newcomer, and although I'm very confident in my novel, I don't think I would let you offer such favorable terms, right?"

Kim Hyun-tae is not stupid, although he knows that his pirated novel is a novel that can be sold well, but there are also many popular novels in this time and space, and he is not necessarily much better than those people.

Especially under the name of Dave's California Culture Publishing House, there are also many well-known authors, as far as Kim Hyun-tae learned through the Internet, there are several popular authors whose novels have sold billions of copies.

So, in view of such a situation, if you don't have a special reason, how can you get such a favorable condition?

There must be some special reasons for this.

Kim Hyun Tae was not carried away by Dave's favorable conditions, but quickly calmed down and thought of some questions.

After all, Kim Hyun-tae's brain intelligence has changed now, and he is much smarter than in the original time and space.

Among the changes that the brain mutation has brought to him is the agility of his mind, and at the same time, his IQ is constantly improving.

So, in such a situation, if he can't think of this problem, it is really a big waste.

"I've read your novel myself, it's very well written, and in my eyes, it's definitely a good seller.

But what you said is also right, after all, you are a rookie author, even if the novel is well written, it is impossible to get such favorable conditions, especially since our publishing house only wants to take away the agency right of the publication of American novels and paper books, and we have not considered a series of rights and interests that can be derived from it, which is very abnormal.

You know, we're not idiots, we're not philanthropists, after all, we publishers also have to think about profits. “

Dave appreciated Kim Hyun-tae's reaction, this Asian teenager is not dizzy, and his brain is still very clear, which shows that this teenager has something special.

If you were an ordinary rookie author, after hearing the conditions you offered, it is estimated that you would have been happy to find the north for a long time, and you are very excited at this moment.

Where else can he think of such a question like Kim Hyun-tae?

"Then why are you ......?", Kim Hyun Tae looked at Dave with a puzzled expression on his face, his eyes full of inquiry.

"This is the meaning of the majority shareholder of our publishing house, this major shareholder holds 60% of the shares of our publishing house, she asks us to give you such favorable conditions, as a small shareholder, what can I do. “

Dave shrugged his shoulders and explained a little.

However, Dave's words made Kim Hyun Tae even more confused.

The majority shareholder of California Culture Press?

It seems that he doesn't know such a person, so why would the other party let Dale give him such favorable conditions?

Can't figure it out!

I really can't figure it out!

Despite Kim Hyun-tae's brain changes, his intelligence has surpassed that of ordinary people, and he will become smarter and smarter as time goes by, and he learns more, but he still has no clue about such confusion.

Looking at Kim Hyun Tae, who looked puzzled and deep in thought, Dave's face was full of smiles.

"Okay, you don't have to think about it so much, you just need to understand that our publishing house is very sincere and willing to publish your novel on the best terms, so why do you have to explore it. “

Dave's words really made Kim Hyun Tae come back to his senses from his contemplation, and at the same time felt that Dale's words were very reasonable.

That is, anyway, I will take advantage of the cheapness, as long as you take a closer look at the pitfalls when signing the agreement, then you will sign it yourself.

No matter how you think about it, you won't suffer a loss, so why should you have a headache and worry about it.

Kim Hyun-tae, who figured it out in an instant, smiled and said to Dave: "I'm sorry, after all, I'm still a young man, and it's actually normal to have this kind of reaction when encountering such a thing, right?" “

Well, this guy Kim Hyun Tae actually used his age to cover himself at this time.

However, Dave was convinced of what Kim Hyun Tae said.

After all, according to Dell's earliest contact with Kim Hyun Tae through email, he knew that Kim Hyun Tae was only '16 years old' and was a young man who was still underage.

So, it's really normal for a 16-year-old boy to have this kind of reaction.

It's just that Dave knows that 16-year-old Kim Hyun Tae has the soul of a 36-year-old middle-aged man.

"Basically, if you don't have an opinion here, I'll tell the lawyer to come and draft the publishing agreement. “

Of course, Kim Hyun Tae will not object, now he and Dave are just talking verbally, everyone understands some of each other's conditions, and if there is no objection, of course they will move on to the next step.

Kim Hyun-tae has no problem here, after all, Dave is just talking about this condition here, so he can't find fault with it.

The rest depends on whether there is a problem with the publishing agreement.

Look, how simple.

In the end, Anne signaled, so what was originally a more troublesome matter has now become very convenient.

It is obviously impossible to be an ordinary newcomer author as easy as Kim Hyun-tae, and he can still get such a favorable publishing agreement.

"Who is the majority shareholder of the publishing house, this person will only be able to meet him if he has the opportunity to meet him in the future, is it because he has read the novel I pirated and thinks that I am destined to become a famous writer and have such great potential, so he will do this? “

Lola, the secretary, walked in with coffee and placed it on the coffee table in front of Kim Hyun-tae and Dave, and then Dave told Lola to let him have a lawyer come here immediately, and at the same time let the part in charge of the contract get the contract and send it over.

"If you're not in a hurry, you can do it here for a while, and the contract will be drawn up quickly, and it may take some time on the lawyer's side to finalize it. Dave picked up the coffee on the coffee table in front of him and gestured to Kim Hyun-tae.

Of course, Kim Hyun-tae was not polite, he also picked up the coffee on the coffee table in front of him, took a small sip, and then put the coffee down.

"It's okay, I have a lot of time. “
