Chapter 24 Car Buying and New Inspiration

"Thank you Mr. Dave, I've decided."

"Oh, have you decided? That's fine."

Since Kim Hyun-tae had made the decision, Dave stopped introducing it and mentioned another thing.

"By the way, Xiao Jin, you mentioned it when you were talking to me a few days ago. Did you create a new novel?"

Kim Hyun-tae is in the United States, and Dave is a person he is more familiar with, and he has no one he knows except Dave.

So, Kim Hyun-tae, who is nowhere to be seen, would call Dave and talk about work and life a little bit.

During these calls, Kim Hyun-tae also revealed the incident of her 'creating' new novel, so Dave immediately became concerned.

However, Dave had no chance to ask in detail, and this time he finally had a chance.

The sales of "Song of Ice and Fire" have not shown explosive growth, but are very stable.

It was already mid-October and it was almost November. After statistics on the sales of the novel "Song of Ice and Fire" this month, it has remained stable at 1.8 million copies. By the end of the month, there is no problem in reaching the sales of 2.1 million copies last month, and it can even exceed a little bit.

Therefore, how could Dave not expect Kim Hyun-tae, who was able to write a big-name novel like "Song of Ice and Fire", a new novel that he had recently "created".

Maybe it's another big-selling novel.

When Kim Hyun-tae saw Dave asking, he couldn't hide anything, so he replied to Dave: "It's a magical novel."

Magical novel?

Dave's eyes lit up, and his heart felt like itchy as if he was scratched.

In recent years, the American magic novel market has gradually become popular, and many people like to buy magic novel books.

If Kim Hyun-tae's novel is of good quality, then the publisher can make another profit.

And this possibility is extremely high, so Dave couldn't help but not take this matter seriously and looked for an opportunity to raise it.

So, Dave said to Kim Hyun-tae at the moment: "How much has you created? Can you reach the quantity of text that will be sold in one volume? If it has been reached, I hope you will hand over the novel to the California Press for publication."

Kim Hyun-tae smiled while holding the phone. To be honest, he didn't want to hand over the novel to other publishers. The novel "Lord of the Rings" has already ended, and even "The Hobbit" has been pirated and started pirated "Harry Potter".

However, Kim Hyun-tae did not say that he had completed it all, after all, it would be unwise to say that.

Just like the novel "Song of Ice and Fire", Kim Hyun-tae has also completed all the pirated versions, but the manuscripts he handed over to Dave Publishing House were only enough to publish three volumes, rather than handing them all out.

And just these three volumes will be enough to be published for three or four years.

You know, "Song of Ice and Fire" in another time and space took twenty years to publish a total of seven volumes and ended.

Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae's three volumes of manuscripts "Song of Ice and Fire" are expected to be published and sold for three or four years by California Press.

"I'll go back and sort it out. If the numbers are enough, I'll send it to you by email."

Such a response was basically agreed to hand it over to the publishing house, so Dave was very pleased.

"Okay! If you have time to come to the publishing house, bring the novel manuscripts, don't pass the email. I've read the manuscripts if they can, we will sign the publishing agreement."

This is OK, and Kim Hyun-tae doesn't object to this.

"Okay, I'll go to the publishing house tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Kim Hyun-tae agreed very happily.

After finishing the call with Dave, Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter to start buying a car.

There are many ways to buy a car in the United States, mainly depending on what car you want to buy.

Most ordinary young people choose the used car market and buy used cars that are affordable and have good quality. After all, the price of used cars is more than half cheaper than new cars, and some can even be as low as 20% of new cars.

If you are lucky, you can also buy luxury used sports cars in the second-hand car market.

But for Kim Hyun-tae, the used car market is not attractive because he is not short of money at all.

As for his current income, there is no pressure to buy a new car.

After paying up to 35% of personal income tax, the 4.2 million yuan in the bank actually fell into Kim Hyun-tae's hands, now only 2.73 million yuan.

But even this 2.73 million yuan is a "huge sum". At least for ordinary American families, this is indeed a huge sum.

It should be clear that the United States is a credit system society, and everyone is accustomed to spending in advance. More than 40% of American families do not have a little bank savings, and they live the days when they spend their salary in the next few days.

This is completely different from Asians, especially Chinese.

In China and even Asia, basically every family will have some savings to prevent unexpected needs.

Therefore, such savings can also be called "emergency savings", and the attitudes of the East and the West are very different in this regard.

Then, the savings amount of 2.73 million yuan in Kim Hyun-tae's bank account looks very eye-catching.

This shows that he has a high level of credit and has strong purchasing power, and is basically a customer that all types of merchants like.

Of course, although Kim Hyun-tae is in the United States, he still adheres to the traditions of Chinese people in terms of life concepts and concepts of wealth consumption and management.

You don’t need a credit card and you won’t spend money in advance. You will save a portion of your planned savings, and you will only spend the rest.

There are unexpected situations in the world. I encountered alien elementary school students in my previous life. So in this time and space, do people know if they would encounter such a strange thing?

Therefore, he needs to have some savings. If he encounters such an accident again, he can at least leave some wealth for his daughter so that she can live a better life in the future.

At the same time, Kim Hyun-tae is really not used to consumption in advance.

The large amount of cash made Kim Hyun-tae not have any headaches or troubles when dealing with the issue of buying a car.

It is not like an ordinary American family. When you want to buy a car, you need to carefully choose it. Then, after comparing the price and other aspects, you will make a choice for a long time.

So, Kim Hyun-tae easily bought his favorite car.

Audi A8 black luxury business sedan.

The car has a spacious space and it won't feel uncomfortable to sit inside. It is also equipped with top-notch configurations. The price is only $260,000, and the price is really low.

The same model will cost more than 7 million yuan in China.

(The large space and space parallel, the growth of transportation distance, and various aspects are combined)

Because he got his driver's license and the car dealer immediately got a California license, Kim Hyun-tae could pay and drove away immediately.

Since Kim Hyun-tae gave cash, the dealer was considerate and provided a box of gasoline for free.

Kim Hyun-tae was very excited when he got into his car. This was the first car he had in his previous life and in his life. It was his own car. It would be fake to say that he was not excited.

Similarly, Kim Hyun-tae's daughter Koko was also very excited. The little guy was excited to dance and looked around curiously, while shouting "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Unlike fathers who own their own car and are able to buy a car and are happy, the little guy Coco is obviously excited to see new things.

Because she learned the traffic rules, her daughter was sitting in the "egg shell" removed from the stroller and placed in the back seat.

According to traffic rules in the United States, children cannot be placed in the front passenger seat.

Kim Hyun-tae, who has already obtained a driver's license, certainly knows this and will not violate this rule.

When buying a car, the dealer gave a set of CDs, which were available in all types of music. Kim Hyun-tae thought about it and searched through it, and found a CD with a special plate full of light music and started playing it.

After all, he needs to consider his daughter's feelings, so it is impossible to listen to music that is too noisy.

The soft and soothing music sounded and played in the surround sound on the car. It sounded very good in the quality of the sound effects, which made people feel very good.

Kim Hyun-tae, who was driving the car, did not take his daughter home immediately, but came to a local hot dog fast food restaurant next to the Hollywood Film and Television theme amusement park, which uses circus clowns as its sign and logo.

The clown is very different from the McDonald's clown in the original world. The store sells hot dogs and not burgers, but the store also provides some games for interacting with children, which attracts many parents to bring their children to play.

Kim Hyun-tae also knew about this store, and he brought his daughter to play today.

There is no separate play area for children, no slides or other game facilities, but some staff dressed as clowns play and interact with the children in the area specially opened in the store.

In short, although the two worlds are different, there are fast food restaurants that take care of children's game nature.

After parking the car and carrying the ‘eggshell’ baby basket, Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter to the hot dog shop, came to the ordering table to place an order to the waiter, and ordered a hot dog set.

A short time later, he got the hot dog set he ordered. Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter to the edge of the interaction area between the clown and the children, and put his daughter's "eggshell" baby basket in a good place to see the funny college performance of the clown pretending to be fucked. The little guy obviously liked to watch it. After seeing those clowns who were fucking, her eyes naturally stopped looking.

And around Kim Hyun-tae and his daughter, most of them are parents with their children, but the children's ages are different.

Of course, there are also nine-month-old children like Kim Hyun-tae's daughter Koko, but there are too few, most of them are three or four-year-old children.

Those children were playing under the leadership of the clown, or were running around a few clowns, but they were all very noisy anyway.

Here, children can play and play at will without worrying about being criticized by their parents. This is the territory of the children, allowing them to release their nature and energy.

After opening his hot dog packaging and taking a light bite, Kim Hyun-tae looked at his daughter who was attracted by the clown with a gentle look on her face.

At the next table, a white couple in their thirties were reading fairy tales to their three or four-year-old son, and the mother was responsible for reading the contents of the story book for the children.

Kim Hyun-tae pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch because the fairy tale he was listening to was too weird and even a little dark.

Suddenly, an idea suddenly popped up from his heart.

He has learned about fairy tales in this world, and they all seem to be stories of dark and strange nature.

Kim Hyun-tae didn't have much in-depth understanding of the fairy tales of various countries in this space-time Earth Federation. After all, he didn't think it had much to do with him at the beginning.

But at this moment, a trace of inspiration flashed through his mind, feeling that he might have great potential in fairy tales.

Thinking of this, Kim Hyun-tae turned his gaze from the middle-aged couple to his daughter, and thought to himself: "This fairy tale is dark and strange and cruel in time and space. I don't want my daughter to see these things when she grows up. So is my father also thinking of ways to change it in this regard for her daughter?

Of course, if you succeed, you can not only create some good fairy tales for your daughter in the future, but also allow you to use fairy tales to create greater benefits for yourself and your daughter."
