Dave's office decoration is very simple. Against the wall is a large dark-toned bookcase filled with neat books, and a file cabinet next to it. The shelves of the file cabinet are also filled with kraft paper bags. There is no need to think that it is all documents.

On the other side is Dave's big desk, with computers, documents, and various office supplies placed on the desk, as well as a photo frame for him and his family.

On the edge of the desk is a large safe. It is obvious that some important items or documents and contracts are definitely placed in this safe, rather than in the filing cabinet outside.

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

Just a glance, Kim Hyun-tae discovered that in those photos, Dell 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 private entertainment and leisure activities are still very rich.

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

After all, I have lived in the United States in this time and space for half a year. At the same time, Kim Hyun-tae can also learn some information about the United States through the Internet, so I don’t have anything to be curious about people like Dave.

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

If it is in the East, Kim Hyun-tae's behavior is a bit rude. After all, in the East, everyone needs to exchange greetings before they can get into the topic.

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

So, Dave did not respond much to such a direct Kim Hyun-tae. After all, Westerners are willing to communicate in such a direct way.

Sitting opposite Kim Hyun-tae, Dave also looked at the Asian teenager in front of him. At the same time, his eyes did not miss the daughter he was holding in Kim Hyun-tae's arms, and even stopped at the child for a while.

"Our publishing house is willing to act as an agent for the publishing of novels in the United States. As for the rights and interests of films, TV series, etc., we don't want any of them, and they are still in your hands. Our publishing house has the right to have priority agency rights when there is a foreign publishing opportunity for novels.

As for copyright fees, our publishing house is willing to give you a price of 10%. I think you should have learned about some rules in the publishing industry in detail before coming to me, so you should be clear that the conditions I gave are very generous."

Since Kim Hyun Tae was straight to the point, Dave didn't beat around the bush and told Kim Hyun Tae's conditions as soon as he came up.

After hearing Dave's words, Kim Hyun-tae's heart was also churning.

Dave said this, and the conditions he gave were really generous, so people couldn't find any fault.

Before this, Kim Hyun-tae really learned about the publishing rules through the Internet, so of course he knew that Dave had no lie.

For a new novel author, you have no fame at all. Even if the novel is favored by a publisher and can give a copyright fee of 5 to 6%, it is already a good luck to burn the incense.

Some publishing houses even have a low copyright fee of 2% for new authors.

Not to mention those authors who can get 30% of the copyright fee, this is simply incomparable. You should know that authors who can get 30% of the copyright fee to get basically written more than a dozen big-name novels and have a lot of fame.

You said that a nameless newcomer, why should you have such ambition?

This is simply not realistic at all.

Of course, Kim Hyun-tae is not such a person. He knows very well what his bottom line is.

When he came to see Dave, he had already set a bottom line for himself, but who would have thought that it was not the case now.

The conditions for Dave are offered, and Kim Hyun-tae is so generous that he is stunned.

Fortunately, Kim Hyun-tae's young appearance is the soul of a middle-aged man, so he hides it very well and does not reveal all his emotions, so he is not embarrassed.

"Please turn out to be my presumptuous. Mr. Dave, the conditions you issued are really good. If the publishing agreement is drafted exactly as you mean, I can't think of any reason to refuse cooperation.

But I am also very curious. I am just a newcomer. Although I am very confident in my novel, I don’t think I will let you offer such favorable conditions, right?”

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

Especially under Dave's California Culture Press, there are many well-known authors. Kim Hyun-tae has learned about it through the Internet, and there are several popular authors who sell a lot of novels with a sales volume of 1 billion copies.

So, given this situation, if I don’t have a special reason, how could I get such favorable treatment?

There must be some special reasons for this.

Instead of being overwhelmed by the favorable conditions offered by Dave, Kim Hyun-tae quickly calmed down and thought of some problems.

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

Some changes brought to him by brain changes include quick thinking and the IQ is constantly improving.

So, in this case, if he can't think of this problem, he will be really a waste.

"I have read your novel myself and it is very well written. From my perspective, it is definitely a novel that can be sold well.

But what you are right. After all, you are a new author. No matter how well you write a novel, you will never get such favorable conditions. Especially since our publishing house only wants to take away the agency rights for the publication of American novels and paper books, we have not considered the series of rights that can be derived. This is very abnormal.

You know, we are not idiots or philanthropists. After all, our publishing houses also have to consider profit issues."

Dave appreciated Kim Hyun-tae's reaction. This Asian boy was not confused and his mind was very clear, which shows that this boy had something special.

If it were an ordinary new author, after hearing the conditions he offered, he would probably have been so happy that he could not find Bei. He was very excited at this moment.

How could he think of such a problem like Kim Hyun-tae?

"Then why are you...?", Kim Hyun-tae's face was full of confusion, and his eyes were full of inquiring gazes, and he looked at Dave.

"This is the meaning of the major shareholder of our publishing house. This major shareholder holds 60% of the shares of our publishing house. She asks us to give you such generous conditions. What can I do as a small shareholder?"

Dave shrugged his shoulders and explained a little.

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

Major shareholder of California Culture Press?

It seems that I don’t know such a person, so why did the other party ask Dell to give him such generous conditions?

Can't figure it out!

I really can't figure it out!

No matter how Kim Hyun-tae's brain changes, his intelligence has surpassed that of ordinary people. As time goes by, and his learning increases, he will become smarter and smarter, but he still has no idea about such confusion.

Looking at Kim Hyun-tae with a puzzled look on his face, Dave's face was full of smiles.

"Okay, you don't have to think so much. You just need to understand that our publishing house is very sincere and willing to publish your novels on the best possible basis, so why do you have to explore it clearly?"

Dave's words indeed made Kim Hyun-tae come back to his senses from his meditation, and at the same time he felt that Dale's words made sense.

That is, I take advantage of it anyway. When signing the agreement, just check carefully and there are no traps, then sign it yourself.

I won’t suffer any losses if I think about this, so why bother myself to worry about this?

Kim Hyun-tae, who instantly figured it out, smiled and said to Dave: "Sorry, after all, I am still a young man. It is actually normal to have such a reaction when encountering such a thing, right?"

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

However, Dave agreed with what Kim Hyun-tae said.

After all, according to Dell's first contact with Kim Hyun-tae through email, he knew that Kim Hyun-tae was only '16 years old' and was a teenager who was still underage.

So, it is really normal for a 16-year-old boy to have such a reaction.

But Dave knew that 16-year-old Kim Hyun-tae had the soul of a 36-year-old middle-aged man.

"Basically, this is the case. If you have no objection here, I will ask the lawyer to come over and draft the publishing agreement."

Of course, Kim Hyun-tae would not object. Now he and Dave are just talking verbally. Everyone knows some of the other party’s conditions. If there is no objection, of course they have to go to the next step.

There is no problem here. After all, Dave is just a condition that he says with his mouth, but he can't find any problems.

The rest of the matter depends on whether there is any problem with the publishing agreement.

Look, how simple.

After all, Annie had signaled it, so this matter, which was originally considered a bit troublesome, has now become very convenient.

If it were an ordinary new author, it would be impossible to be as easy as Kim Hyun-tae, and he could also get such favorable conditions for publishing agreements.

"Who is the major shareholder of the publishing house? This person will only succeed if he has the opportunity to meet him in the future. Could it be that I have read the novel I pirated and thought that I was destined to become a famous writer and have such great potential, so I did this?"

Secretary Lola walked in with coffee and placed it on the coffee table in front of Kim Hyun-tae and Dave respectively. Then Dave instructed Lola to ask him to ask the lawyer to 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 don't have a hurry, you can do it here for a while, and the contract can be drafted soon. It may take some time for the lawyer to complete." Dave picked up the coffee on the coffee table in front of him and signaled 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 sip, and then put the coffee down.
