Chapter 8 Publisher's Response
I checked my e-mail address, but the e-mail was empty, and there was not a single email, and it was obvious that none of the publishers I had submitted to have responded to it.
However, Kim Hyun Tae was not disappointed at all, after all, it had only been a few days, and it didn't seem so realistic to give himself a response in such a short 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 if you want to come to these publishing houses, you will face a lot of submissions, and the processing time will be longer.
It is obviously impossible to find your own manuscript in so many submissions and then identify some problems in a short period of time.
If you are not a famous author, you cannot have special channels and treatment, and you can get special treatment from those publishing houses.
It is precisely because he knows this truth that Kim Hyun Tae is not disappointed or discouraged at all about the current situation.
The novel is submitted, and it gets a response within a few hours, and then it is signed and published and then it sells well, which is a bridge that only exists in online novels, and this kind of thing is impossible in reality, unless Kim Hyun Tae is already the author of several best-selling novels and has a certain popularity, maybe there is such a possibility.
But now...... Hehe......
The daughter no longer crawled around at this time, and after some testing by the little one herself, she found that she could not stand now, so she had to give up the plan to stand up and walk, and after climbing for a while, the little one had already hid in the corner, where he sat and played alone.
Small children can play with anything, even without toys. The little one is like that now, sitting alone in the corner of the living room, with her back to the wall, fighting with the carpet alone.
Since her daughter is having fun, Kim Hyun Tae is also happy not to disturb her, and she can also have some free time to do some things of her own.
Closing his email, Kim Hyun-tae opened the web page and began to search for some breaking news.
There are many kinds of online news in the United States, and there are news and information in various aspects, but most of them are from Europe and the United States, and there are not so many about Asia, and more is entertainment gossip.
Understanding this time and space through online news has always been one of Kim Hyun-tae's main means, after all, it is very convenient.
Although there are sometimes false news in online news, as long as you can carefully distinguish and use this way to gather information, it is actually a good choice to understand this time and space.
[The American Post]
The content is that Nippon Heavy Industries has spent a huge amount of money to buy 60% of the high-rise buildings in New York's Times Square, and has almost monopolized the 'advertising sign building' in Times Square.
At the same time, it also gave Kim Hyun-tae a small understanding and cognition of how rich the Japanese were in this time and space.
Other online news excerpts from several newspapers and media outlets are full of news about Japanese people waving money in the United States and buying businesses and real estate on a large scale.
Half an hour later, Kim Hyun-tae closed the news pages and opened the entertainment gossip network instead, and began to watch the gossip news and celebrity scandal news.
However, although he opened the entertainment gossip page, Kim Hyun-tae's heart did not focus on it, but considered such a question, that is, 'Why do the historical events of this time and space not match a certain timeline?'.
Such doubts have appeared when Kim Hyun-tae bought a second-hand notebook and could access the Internet.
When he first learned this, Kim Hyun Tae was very surprised.
You know, the timeline of this time and space is 2015.
It's just that from 2015 to 1949 in this plane, many historical events that happened in his original time and space basically did not appear in this time and space.
Therefore, in Kim Hyun-tae's view, this time and space seems a little weird.
For example, an Iraqi president named Saddam Hussein is still alive and well, and his Iran-Iraq war with Iran has not broken out, and according to news sources, he has been deliberately passing on power to his son for a few years.
Similarly, a colonel named Kafi in Libya is still alive, and the beautiful bodyguard group around him is still continuing to make sacrifices and dedication for him, of course, this colonel named Kafei is a staunch anti-American fighter in this time and space, just like Colonel Gaddafi in another time and space.
The Soviet Union did not invade Afghanistan, and although the domestic situation in Afghanistan at this time was not very good, and it was still an imperial dictatorship, it was relatively stable compared to Afghanistan in another time and space.
Although the countries on the African continent have established their own countries, they have not yet shaken off the influence of some European countries, and France, Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries have great influence in Africa.
Look, what a strange history and timeline, this really shocked Kim Hyun-tae at the beginning.
However, after living in this time and space for half a year, Kim Hyun Tae has been able to accept all this.
The daughter began to teeth, and at the same time did not want to continue to be held in her father's arms or carried in a baby carrier, and the child began to grow, which made Kim Hyun-tae happy and a little sad at the same time.
After all, his daughter is not willing to stay quiet now, how can he still work with his children in the future.
After all, as a single father, he really can't take care of everything while still making money to support himself and his children.
And hiring a nanny to take care of his daughter is a good choice, but considering that if he hires an unreliable nanny, once he is a black-hearted person, then it will be too late for him to regret it.
His own children hurt himself, especially in this multi-racial immigrant country, Kim Hyun Tae really didn't have the slightest confidence in hiring a nanny to take care of the children so that he could work with peace of mind.
Glancing at the little guy who was having fun with him, Kim Hyun-tae's face was full of sorrow.
I hope that the publishing house can give me an answer as soon as possible, and successfully complete the publication of my novel and then make money, so that I can change my current living environment, have a good and stable economic condition, completely get rid of the current two jobs, 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, and other things are fake no matter how much he considers.
There is no money, in this time and space, in this country, it is really difficult to move an inch.
Then Kim Hyun Tae got up and prepared dinner for himself and his daughter, and after dinner, he played with his daughter for a while, and then Kim Hyun Tae took his daughter to a Chinese restaurant to work a second job as usual, and returned home to rest after finishing work in the middle of the night, and took his daughter to the car wash early the next morning.
Although there is hope in life, when the publication of the novel is not yet visible, Kim Hyun-tae still has to grit his teeth and continue to hold on with his daughter.
At the same time, just as Kim Hyun-tae is worried, his daughter is not easy to take now, and the little guy no longer wants to be carried behind by his father all day long, but hopes to be put down by his father and crawl on the ground by himself.
But as a father, how could Kim Hyun Tae do this.
After all, there are cars coming and going in the car wash here, and if a bad little guy climbs around, there will be a big problem, so no matter how the little guy makes trouble behind his back, Kim Hyun Tae just doesn't satisfy the little guy's wish.
As a result, it is obvious that Kim Hyun Tae has become a little difficult at work, and the little guy's troubles have also caused some criticism from the workers.
In this way, during this period, Kim Hyun-tae worked hard, endured criticism and ridicule, and spent a month waiting for the publisher to give him back from the 'difficult life', until mid-August, among the dozens of publishers he submitted, finally a publisher gave him a reply.
In this email from the 'California Culture Press', he clearly replied that Kim Hyun Tae is very optimistic about his novels, and can sign a publishing agreement with Kim Hyun Tae, hoping that Kim Hyun Tae can contact him after receiving the email to discuss a series of issues such as meetings and contracts.
At the same time, the other party said in an email that it could guarantee that once the publishing agreement was negotiated, it would definitely be the most preferential to give Kim Hyun Tae the protection of his interests.
Kim Hyun Tae didn't pay attention to the last promise in the other party's email, after all, the descriptions in the United States are all fake, but it can be seen from the other party's email that the other party is really optimistic about his 'copycat' novel.
It's obvious that you want to get it.
Good!
As long as the other party likes this novel, then everything is done.
That's what Kim Hyun-tae cares about the most.
At least, it can be explained that as long as you and the other party can show sincerity and negotiate the matter of publishing, then you can completely get rid of this kind of life and improve economically.
As for the question of whether the novel makes money, it is not something that 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 a very popular novel on the earth in another time and space, and it has sold tens of millions of copies in English alone after ten years, and has also filmed TV series, adapted games, and comics.
And in this parallel space-time Earth Federation, where the population base has expanded tenfold, Kim Hyun-tae can look forward to the benefits that this novel can bring to himself even with his ass and knees, and it will not be less than the original time and space, only more.
Therefore, when he came home from work in the middle of the night to check his email, and dialed the phone number left by the other party in the middle of the night to confirm the matter, the first thing he did was to ask for leave from the car wash and the Chinese restaurant overnight, and prepared to go to [California Culture Press] to discuss 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, but he has a soul in his thirties, and he will not give up until he is sure that the novel will finally be published.
That's not what a smart person does, so Kim Hyun-tae is just asking for leave, not resigning.
But once the publishing house gets it done, Kim Hyun-tae will definitely resign, don't even think about it.
He saves 1,000 yuan every month, and the cash in Jin Xiantai's hand in the past six months is now 6,000 yuan.
With this 6,000 yuan, it is enough for him and his daughter to not worry about any problems in life for a few months, so as long as the publishing house negotiates with him, Kim Hyun Tae can also hold on for a while after resigning.
That night, the excited Kim Hyun Tae didn't sleep all night, so the next day he had to take his daughter out to the publishing house with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
