The night of Halloween was very lively, and when Kim Hyun-tae walked out of the house with his daughter Coco and Anne and came to the community street, he had already seen groups of children, one by one, dragging cloth bags or small plastic buckets knocking on the door.

Coco was very excited when she saw so many children, she kept raising her hand to point at the children who were older than her, and shouted happily, "Give me candy, if you don't give it, you will make trouble!"

Kim Hyun-tae patted his daughter helplessly: "Those brothers and sisters also want candy, you have to ask the adults to have it." ”

As for how to spend Halloween, the little guy Coco is very unfamiliar, after all, it is the first time for her to celebrate this holiday, and she thinks that anyone can ask for candy.

Hearing what his father said, Coco was about to go to the ground immediately, and he didn't plan to be held in his father's arms.

Coco's 'Earthworm Magic Skill + Carp Fighting Technique' is very powerful, and in the end, Kim Hyun Tae still put her down.

Breaking away from his father's embrace, Coco, who was standing on the ground, took his father's hand: "Go, go, go and ask for candy from adults, and Coco wants candy." ”

Looking at Coco's cute appearance who was anxious to go to the adults to get candy, Anne, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but smile and bend over.

"Okay, okay, okay, why are you so anxious. ”

Smiling helplessly, Kim Hyun-tae looked at Annie, who couldn't stop laughing.

"Then I'll trouble you, you take the little one to the neighbors to get some candy, don't go far, it's good to be nearby. I have to stay and deal with the kids who come to our house to ask for candy, and if I leave, the kids who come here won't get candy, but they will be sad. ”

Considering that there would be children knocking on the door, Kim Hyun Tae decided to let Anne take Coco to ask for candy while he stayed and waited for the other children to come to the door.

Anne had no objection to this arrangement.

On the contrary, Kim Hyun-tae's idea of thinking about others made Anne appreciate it very much.

"No problem, I'll take care of Cocoa. ”

Anne nodded and walked over, bent down to look down at Coco and asked, "Shall I come and hold you and ask for candy, we will ask for more sugar together, more than everyone else." ”

As soon as Coco heard that there would be any objections, she immediately raised her head and opened her arms to Anne, asking her to hold herself and ask for candy immediately.

"Cocoa wants the most sugar! more than everybody. ”

"Definitely, we're going to get the most sugar. Anne pampered Coco, much to the delight of the little one.

At the same time, Anne had already seen that her old butler, Nord, who was not far away, was already standing outside his residence, handing out candy to every child who came to knock on the door.

With her own people, Anne is afraid of losing her trust in Cocoa.

If you say you want the most sugar, you will get the most sugar.

Anne is still confident in this.

"Then I'll take Coco to play. ”

"Go ahead, it's safe. ”

Sitting at the door of his house, Kim Hyun-tae watched Anne leave with her daughter in her arms, but fortunately, the security here in the community is very good, so Kim Hyun-tae doesn't have to worry too much about anything.

Suddenly, there was a vibration in his trouser pocket, and it was someone calling him. Kim Hyun-tae immediately reached out and pulled out his phone from his pocket, then pressed the answer button.

"Happy Halloween!"

When I connected the phone, Dave's familiar voice immediately rang in my ears.

Kim Hyun-tae could hear that Dave's voice was a little noisy, and it was obvious that the other party might also be accompanying the children at home at this time to spend this happy holiday.

"Happy Halloween, Mr. Dave. ”

Kim Hyun-tae also responded.

After greeting each other, Dave on the other side of the phone said directly to Kim Hyun Tae: "Your royalty share has been calculated this month, "A Song of Ice and Fire" sold a total of 2.2 million and 3,000 copies in October, with a total of 4,406,000 yuan of copyright share, and we will transfer the money into your bank account early tomorrow morning, and you can check it when the time comes." ”

Well, this is good news, I have more than 4 million income before tax.

After hearing Dave tell him the news, Kim Hyun Tae, who was already in a good mood, immediately jumped a few more steps.

"Oh, yes, that's good news. ”

"There's good news. Dave hahad, and continued: "Your fairy tale, although it hasn't been on the market for a long time, has shown a booming sales, which none of us in the publishing house expected. ”

After informing Kim Hyun-tae of the copyright of "A Song of Ice and Fire", Dave brought up Kim Hyun-tae's book of fairy tales.

Compared to "A Song of Ice and Fire", which is currently on sale, Kim Hyun-tae is also very concerned about the sales of "Fairy Tale".

After all, "A Song of Ice and Fire" has just been published in its first volume, and although it can sell well, the follow-up plot has not yet been launched, and Kim Hyun Tae himself knows that there is no such a big sell.

Therefore, as long as the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" can guarantee that he will receive millions of dollars every month for the time being, and the sales will be stable.

Superfluous, he doesn't ask for anything.

But because when he entered the backstage of the publishing house a few days ago, he saw the sales data of "Fairy Tales", so he had higher expectations for "Fairy Tales".

At the same time, because of the expected hot sales of fairy tales, Kim Hyun-tae has some other considerations.

For all the above reasons, Kim Hyun-tae now attaches great importance to fairy tales.

Before "A Song of Ice and Fire" did not develop, "The Lord of the Rings" did not have a big hit, and what Kim Hyun Tae could count on was "Fairy Tale".

So, when he heard Dave say this, he immediately asked, "So Mr. Dave, can you tell me how the sales of fairy tales are now? I haven't logged in to the publishing house to check this information these days." ”

"Hey, hey. Dave on the other end of the phone laughed, "Sales are booming!" I can only answer you with such words, in less than ten days, the publisher has sold a total of 7 million copies in the United States, and this number is far from the peak of our estimates. ”

Did 7 million copies of the Fairy Tale Collection be sold in less than ten days?

Kim Hyun-tae was also surprised when he heard this.

Earlier, he only read 960,000 copies, but now there are more than 7 million copies!

However, considering the huge population base of this world, after thinking about the sales data of 7 million, Kim Hyun Tae slowly calmed down.

But even so, this sales volume is not low, after all, it has only been on sale for ten days.

Dave continued to say to Kim Hyun Tae: "The sales of "Fairy Tales" are booming, so that some people see business opportunities, today someone has found the publisher and I here, let me convey to you the meaning of their desire to cooperate, such as the animation of "Fairy Tale", and some people have found me to translate it into other languages and publish it abroad, and I want to get the agency ......."

Listening to Dave's good news, Kim Hyun Tae dealt with the children who began to come to the door one after another to ask for candy, and he would give a large handful of candy to each child, and the little ones who were happy were all about it.

Dave told himself that this is really good news.

Especially when "Fairy Tale" is released in a foreign language, this is tantamount to creating wealth for yourself again.

Dave snapped and crackled, and finally asked Kim Hyun-tae, "What do you mean here?"

Indeed, Dave has said so much, and in the end, I still have to ask Kim Hyun Tae's own opinion.

After all, the copyright of "Fairy Tale" is basically in the hands of Kim Hyun-tae himself, and the publishing house only gets the agency right of the English version in the United States.

Therefore, when someone comes to the door and asks about the animation of "Fairy Tales", or the translation of "Fairy Tales" into foreign languages and then the sale of "Fairy Tales" abroad, neither the publisher nor Dave has the right to give a definite answer to the other party.

You have to ask Kim Hyun-tae to see what he means.

It was precisely because of this that Dave made a phone call and told him that the new royalty share had been calculated, and then asked about it.

And for those who have just become popular in "Fairy Tale" and have been sensitively aware of business opportunities, Kim Hyun-tae is truly admired.

He thinks that if he were himself, he would not have such a sensitive business sense.

After Kim Hyun-tae himself sighed in his heart, he began to quickly weigh the gains and losses in his mind.

Considering that he already had some plans, he only thought about it for a moment, and decided how to get Dave to respond to those people.

"No matter which country has the foreign language publishing agency of "Fairy Tales", I have authorized Mr. Dave and your publishing house to help me negotiate, and in the end, we will all share the benefits. I'm sure Mr. Dave will help protect the corresponding interests, after all, you have been taking care of you for so long......"

Thinking of Dave's 'help' to him all along, Kim Hyun-tae also felt that he should repay the favor.

Didn't he know that it was most appropriate for him to go and interview those who were interested in acting as an agent for "Fairy Tales" and foreign sales rights?

Of course Kim Hyun-tae knows.

But after careful consideration, Kim Hyun Tae felt that it was best to entrust Dave to help him negotiate, because it was the easiest way to do it.

Although I love money very much, and I like the more money the better, I also understand that sometimes I need to share some of the profits for others.

Kim Hyun Tae is not a novice, after all, he has the soul of an adult.

What's more, Dave's publishing house has always taken good care of himself, and now that he has such an opportunity, it is normal to repay the other party.

Knowing only to ask and not thinking about reciprocating is the practice of white-eyed wolves.

As a traditional Chinese person, Kim Hyun-tae advocates the concept of reciprocating the grace of dripping water, and if you are good to me, I will be good to you.

So now that you have this opportunity, and you can also win a win-win situation, and save yourself a lot of trouble at the same time, why not do it.

After a few months of dating, Kim Hyun Tae thinks that Dave will not be able to pit himself, if he had to pit himself, he would have been pitted a long time ago, where would he wait until now.

The novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" by the rookie author can give such a generous agreement, and it is obvious that Dave will not be black-hearted in this matter.

It's normal for Kim Hyun-tae to think like this.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, and after a few months of contact with Dave, it can be said that Dave's senses are very good.

It's just that Kim Hyun-tae doesn't know at all that the reason why he is treated preferentially is mainly due to the role of Anne.

Otherwise, would Dave treat him so favorably?

But after all, Kim Hyun Tae didn't understand, so he could only be grateful to Dave for his mistakes.

Dave, who was on the other side of the phone, obviously didn't expect Kim Hyun Tae to make such a decision, which is tantamount to sharing the benefits for the publishing house.

In a country like the United States, where money is paramount, people like Kim Hyun Tae are really ...... Dave couldn't describe how he was feeling at the moment.

Originally, he had a good sense of Kim Hyun-tae, a 'teenager', but now because of this incident, that sense has improved by several levels.

Kindness! Responsible! Good moral character! Good personal morality!

Dave wished he had a daughter...... That's what, that's what.

Therefore, Dave on the other end of the phone fell into a state of crankiness with the phone, and stood at the door of his house with a stupid and stupid look, which made the children passing by laugh.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, and at the same time, he looked like he was still dreaming, and said with a sigh: "I...... I haven't heard of it, have you? You mean ......."

Although he didn't come face to face with Dave, Kim Hyun Tae could imagine what Dave looked like now through his imagination, and he must be that kind of stupid.

Kim Hyun Tae smiled slightly and said, "You heard me right, I just want to hand over the agency of the foreign language version to the publishing house to negotiate with those who are interested in helping me, and I will share the benefits of the negotiation with the publishing house in half, because I believe in you, Mr. Dave, and I will also worry about it, isn't it, so it is good for you and me." ”

As long as you are not a fool, you will know that if you talk about it yourself, you will get more benefits, but Kim Hyun-tae knows this, but he still handed it over to the publishing house.

So it's impossible to say that Dave wasn't moved.

He has seen a lot of authors who are open-minded about money, and few people can do it like Kim Hyun-tae in the face of interests.

"Thank you for your trust in me and the publishing house, the language is too pale, I really can't say anything grateful to you, but I can use my personality to guarantee that I will protect your interests to the greatest extent here, and leave everything to me. ”

Dave made a guarantee here, and he can still trust his security deposit, after all, he has not dealt with Dave for a short time, and he knows Dave's personality well.

Thinking about it from heart to heart, Kim Hyun Tae also felt that he should believe in Dave.

"As for the animation or something, I don't plan to sell it, you just reject these interested people, I keep these copyrights in my own hands, I naturally have my own plans. ”

Nonsense, filmed and played as an animation, how many children can be affected.

How much wealth can you bring to yourself if you take out the classic characters in fairy tales!?

So, if Kim Hyun-tae wasn't a fool, he wouldn't let it out.

This is also what he has decided a long time ago.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in a hurry, but after landing in the backstage of the publishing house a few days ago, and seeing the sales data of fairy tales, he immediately had the plan to buy a toy factory and get an animation company.

Because he knows best what fairy tales can bring to himself.

Originally, it was just the idea that he couldn't get used to the dark fairy tales of this world, which prompted Kim Hyun Tae to come up with such a fairy tale book.

I thought that after this book was written, it could be regarded as a gift to my daughter in the future, so that she could not continue to be devastated by the strange fairy tales of this world.

But now that he looks at it, there is such a result, which he didn't expect.

But since that's the case, what else can Kim Hyun-tae do?

I can only accept it happily.

"Okay! I'll make a note of it, and everything will be done according to your request. After Dave confirmed Kim Hyun-tae's idea, he made another reassurance, and then the two chatted again before ending the call.

Kim Hyun-tae, who ended the call, looked up and saw his daughter walking home with a bulging blood-red cloth bag in the company of Anne.

The blood-red cloth pocket was placed on a small four-wheeled vehicle, so Coco didn't have much trouble pulling it, it was very easy.

I don't know where the little guy got it.

But obviously the little guy has gained a lot.

"Daddy, I got a lot of sugar, and an old man gave me a lot of it, and he gave me a small car. ”

Coco, who has not yet arrived at the house, can't wait, and begins to show off his harvest to his father.

Looking at his happy daughter, Kim Hyun-tae showed a mouthful of big white teeth and smiled very brightly.

"Wow! ”

Coco raised her little face: "Of course, Coco is already very powerful." ”
