Another week has passed since the San Juan Convent, and Kim Hyun-tae's life at the rehabilitation center has temporarily returned to peace.

Basically, his daily life is restorative physical exercise, three physical examinations in the morning, noon and evening, acupuncture once a day, and physical therapy and massage by a special person, etc., which are dull and boring.

As time goes by, it seems that it will be the end of December and the end of Christmas, and the day of the New Year.

It is not different from the customs of China, Christmas in Europe and the United States is December 25, and the New Year is January 1 every year, but there is no lunar calendar and lunar calendar, so the two festivals are very close, and Christmas is the New Year.

Kim Hyun Tae himself is not very interested in the European and American New Year, but his daughter Xiao Keke is very longing for it, especially for Christmas.

Seeing his daughter's performance, even if Kim Hyun-tae himself is not interested, as a father, he has to cooperate no matter what.

In this way, with the help of Anne, Kim Hyun-tae bought back a lot of things for Christmas and New Year, and even decorated the room of the rehabilitation center where he lived, decorating the room with a strong festive atmosphere.

And the elderly who live here in the rehabilitation center to recuperate have already begun to prepare for the holiday long before Kim Hyun-tae decorates his room.

It's just that when Kim Hyun-tae arranged his room, the old people who were recuperating in the rehabilitation center also started to follow suit and began to decorate their own rooms.

So in a short period of time, the whole rehabilitation center was full of streamers, Christmas pine trees, and other hanging trinkets bought from the mall.

Little Coco was very excited about the rehabilitation center becoming like this.

At the same time, Dave also informed Kim Hyun Tae that the land at the top of Mount Laguna had been purchased for a total of $1.2 million, which was a fair price.

In addition, Dave also went to Laguna County's private housing construction approval department, applied for a building permit, and hired one of the most famous construction companies in Los Angeles.

Kim Hyun-tae has seen the sketch of the welfare house sent by the construction company, and the design of the other party is very good, and the whole building has a strong American castle style after completion, which must be liked by the children.

There will also be a swimming pool, a small amusement park, and a lawn paved with artificial turf for children to laugh in, and basically the main building will ensure that each child has their own room, so there is no need for several children to squeeze into a room to sleep so shabby.

At the same time, the staff's room, dining room, and living room are all planned very carefully, and Kim Hyun-tae couldn't be more satisfied with the construction company that Dave found.

Of course, these are still only existing in architectural drawings, and everything will not be seen until the project is completed, but considering that in a country like the United States, where credibility is paramount, the probability of a wrong version should be unlikely, so Kim Hyun Tae is not very worried about this.

The quotation from the construction company, the work plus the renovation, including the responsibility for all the furniture, is a total of 13 million US dollars.

The offer was not high, at least it did not exceed Kim Hyun-tae's expectations, so he was still able to accept it.

After all, he was going to spend $20 million on this, but he might not be able to use so much money now, so what was he not satisfied with?

Of course, whether it is buying land or building a house, in fact, these are just small things, and the biggest question is how Kim Hyun-tae can ensure that the welfare home can be maintained for a long time, instead of closing it a few months after it is completed.

You know, there is a property tax in the United States.

Even though Kim Hyun-tae is a privately established welfare home, he still has to pay this tax.

If you don't pay property taxes, then you don't need the federal government to seal your house.

On the side of parallel time and space, California's property tax is not low, about 2.5%, which means that after Kim Hyun-tae's welfare home is completed, he needs to go to the local Laguna County real estate department to report, and then the local real estate management department will evaluate the property, and then pay the property tax according to the valuation.

Basically, based on the land price and the cost of the house, the valuation of the real estate management department will not be too different from all the expenses of the owner.

Therefore, according to the price of the land won by Kim Hyun Tae, plus the quotation of the construction company, a total of 14.2 million yuan can be calculated, and a preliminary estimate can be made that after the completion of the welfare home, he will have to pay at least 35~400,000 US dollars in real estate tax a year.

This tax can be paid in two installments a year, and it is only $30,000 or 40,000 per month.

Of course, this does not include the repair of the house, the security guard, and the salary of the aunt in the welfare home who takes care of the children, as well as all kinds of utilities, as well as the children's food and drink, and school tuition.

If he wants to maintain the normal operation of the welfare home, Kim Hyun-tae has to prepare at least 500,000 yuan a month, and even 500,000 yuan is enough, in case a child is sick or something, the cost is definitely greater.

At least $1 million should be about the same.

And preparing $1 million a month is also a lot of pressure for Kim Hyun-tae.

But since Dave told him the good news when he returned from San Juan a week ago, it didn't seem like much of a pressure.

In this week's time, Kim Hyun-tae has already gone to the publishing house, met with Dave those foreign agents, and successfully signed the agency rights for more than a dozen foreign sales editions of "William's Fairy Tales".

According to the 30% royalty share that Dave worked hard to get him, even if Kim Hyun Tae has to pay two taxes, he can actually get the royalty income in his hands, which is very considerable.

After all, one cannot ignore the fact that the population base of this world is ten times that of his previous life......

The combined population of the agents in the European countries is more than 10 billion, and although it is not possible to say that everyone buys Kim Hyun-tae's fairy tale books, as long as one in ten people can buy them, it will almost bring him an income prospect of more than one billion.

After all, one-tenth is 1 billion people, and "William's Fairy Tales" is also priced at $20 a copy in these countries, and you can get $20 billion for a copy of it, and Kim Hyun-tae personally takes 30%, and you can get $6 billion before tax......

Then pay both European and American royalty income, 35% in Europe is $2.1 billion, 35% in the United States is also $2.1 billion, and Kim Hyun-tae's actual personal income after tax is $1.8 billion.

This data can be preliminarily estimated.

Of course, we have to admit one thing, that is, the parallel time and space about the large amount of personal income tax, the really high is outrageous.

But even so, Kim Hyun-tae's income expectations are also very impressive.

But judging from the current popularity of the sales of Kim Hyun-tae's "William's Fairy Tale Collection", it is obvious that his income estimate cannot be only so much, and it will definitely be higher.

After all, this is a very conservative estimate.

And this is only an estimate of the sales situation in Europe, not counting the countries and regions represented by those agents in Japan, China, India, and Southeast Asia.

If you take into account the sales estimates in these countries and regions, hehe, Kim Hyun-tae's revenue expectations will be even higher.

It can be seen that Kim Hyun-tae, with his own fairy tales, is no longer difficult to maintain the operation of the welfare home in the future.

Of course, what will happen in the actual situation will have to wait until the agents publish the foreign language version and go on sale, so that they can get the real data.

At the same time, these foreign agents not only won the agency rights of the foreign language version of "William's Fairy Tale Collection", such as "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "The Lord of the Rings", two novels that also belong to Kim Hyun-tae's 'creation', but also took a fancy to them and won the agency rights to take back to China and sell them together.

Therefore, no matter what, Kim Hyun-tae is very optimistic about his future income expectations.

In such a time and space with strong intellectual and cultural property protection, Kim Hyun-tae discovered for the first time how happy it is to be a 'writer'.

In this way, time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, it was the first time that Xiao Coco was going to shoot chocolate advertisements and endorsements.

------ Dividing Line------

In the United States in parallel time and space, Hollywood in Los Angeles is the same as another time and space, the film and television entertainment industry is thriving, even if the United States is coarsely pressed by the Soviet Union in the international community, the United States can still achieve cultural export.

In this time and space, American blockbusters have a very good reputation in the world, and Hollywood manufacturing is even more popular, under the influence of this effect, it is difficult for the film and television industry in Los Angeles not to be popular.

Of course, the current Kim Hyun Tae is still far from the Hollywood entertainment industry, and even he himself has no idea of entering the entertainment industry at all.

And he came to the studio of a certain Hollywood studio today, just to accompany his daughter Coco.

Mike Sr. at the rehabilitation center acted very quickly, and everything was done in a week, and everything was properly prepared.

The lawyer that Anne secretly found has negotiated a very generous contract with Old Mike, guaranteeing all the personal rights and interests of Coco Jr.

Now that everything is in order, what are you waiting for?

In the studio, Coco felt very new to everything here, constantly looking left and right.

The little guy had changed into a red princess dress, a crystal crown on his head, and a Western-style knight's sword that looked like the real thing, but was actually made of plastic, on his back.

Sitting on the side and looking at his daughter who was standing in front of the camera, her little face was very excited, but she was very well-behaved and obedient, and she carefully posed according to the director's requirements, Kim Hyun-tae always felt that her daughter's image was a little familiar.

After exploring the memories in his mind, Kim Hyun-tae finally found the corresponding familiar image, and the corners of his mouth twitched and a strange smile flashed.

"I'll go! Isn't this image [My King Artoria]!"

Yes, Kim Hyun Tae recalled this anime character from his previous life through his memories.

He looked at his daughter not far away, who was constantly waving the knight's sword in her hand according to the director's request, and he suddenly felt a feeling of crying and laughing in his heart.
