Chapter 26 Community Newsboy
Kim Hyun-tae was inspired, which meant that he had another opportunity, so he had no reason to let it go. He knew clearly that he had to seize it. In addition to giving him a "gift" to his daughter, this opportunity can also bring himself to fame, glory and wealth.
In the afternoon of that day, after Kim Hyun-tae continued to complete some chapters of the pirated Harry Potter, he set up new documents and documents to start writing the pirated "Grimm's Fairy Tale".
When his daughter was one and a half years old in his previous life, he bought two fairy tales, "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Anssen's Fairy Tales", and read the stories to his daughter every night.
Therefore, because he has read it, the content of these stories can be easily recalled by him, which is entirely due to the influence of the mysterious energy of the time and space tunnel.
Speaking of which, not all of the things Kim Hyun-tae is doing now, and those pirated novels can be made.
First of all, he had to read these books before he could succeed.
Fortunately, he had read a lot of novels in his previous life, so it was equivalent to having mastered a lot of literary resources now, which is an advantage.
Sorry, Kim Hyun-tae can do nothing about those novels and books that he has not read.
I have to say that this is also a relatively regrettable thing.
But even so, the "Song of Ice and Fire" he has created now, the pirated Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, the pirated "Harry Potter", and the novels "Twilight" and "Resident Evil" that have not yet begun to be pirated are all the capital and advantages he can make a living in this world.
Moreover, in addition to these novels, he also registered and left behind scripts of three movies such as "Spy Shadow", "Hurricane Rescue" and "Resident Evil" in this American West Coast script library in this time and space.
Once the script is taken aback, he can use these three scripts to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry and even gain a vote.
Now that California Press has published, the first volume of the novel "Song of Ice and Fire" by Kim Hyun-tae "created" is well sold. It has brought him an income of 2.73 million yuan after tax the previous month. This month, according to Dave's meaning, the income should be not bad.
Basically, Kim Hyun-tae's economic pressure has disappeared at all.
So, in this case, Kim Hyun-tae can do his own freedom and write something he wants to write.
Like the children's fairy tale he is now 'creating'.
Of course, the more important reason is that Kim Hyun-tae thinks that this fairy tale in time and space is very unsuitable for children.
Once Coco grows up in the future and sees that strange fairy tale, Kim Hyun-tae doesn't want his daughter to leave any psychological shadows.
Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae took this opportunity to write a fairy tale suitable for all ages and young people. It is also the first "gift" given to his daughter in this world by being a father.
My daughter is still asleep, and Kim Hyun-tae is completely immersed in the passion of creation (pirated version), and is deaf about what is happening outside.
Since it is not a holiday, there are not many people on Santa Monica Beach, but there are also some men and women playing volleyball on the beach or swimming in the sea.
Monica Beach Community is not a attraction. Most of the people who appear in this beach location are residents of the community.
Most of the tourists, or Los Angeles natives, gather in the upper and lower sections of Monica Beach, so the middle section of the community is very quiet.
But this is a good thing for Kim Hyun-tae. After all, he also needs a quiet atmosphere and environment for creation (pirated version). If it is too noisy, it would not be very good.
In the afternoon of mid-October, near late October, the temperature is still very high.
In just one hour, Kim Hyun-tae has created (pirated versions) and published more than a dozen stories from "Grimm's Fairy Tales", which is very efficient.
When Kim Hyun-tae knocked on the last punctuation mark of a story right now, a timid voice suddenly came from outside the garden.
"Sir, do you need to subscribe to newspapers?"
Upon hearing this, Kim Hyun-tae looked up and saw a little girl wearing a child's safety helmet and stepping on a bicycle that American children would ride. She was sitting on her bicycle and slightly slightly checking her body, looking at her with a hint of timidity over a half-person-high fence.
The girl is not very old, but she is also fifteen or sixteen years old. She wears protective gear on her arms and knees, has brown hair and some small freckles on her face. This is a typical American girl.
The other party saw Kim Hyun-tae looking up, plucked up the courage, and continued: "California Daily, it only costs 15 yuan a month. If you like entertainment newspapers, you can also order them here. At the same time, I am also responsible for delivering them to your house on time every day, and you won't be late even if it rains and winds."
Only then did Kim Hyun-tae realize that this was a community newspaper boy.
In this time and space, there are such community newspaper boys in every community. From six-year-old kids to high school students, many children like this job.
Because in addition to training them (they) themselves, they can also earn pocket money, many children are willing to use their spare time to do this job.
Unlike Asians, ordinary American families will not give their children pocket money at will, and even those rich children have the same experience.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as some parents who are too doting on their children, but these people can ignore them.
Most American children need to earn pocket money by themselves or completely explain family trivial matters by their parents.
According to Americans' concept, only labor can bring rewards. Getting without work is not advisable, even if you take money from your parents.
Therefore, community newspaper children came into being.
In addition to getting up in the morning to get the newspaper back and deliver it, these children also shoulder the task of attracting subscribers to the newspapers they are responsible for. After each subscriber is drawn, the children can also receive varying commissions.
Kim Hyun-tae is a new resident of this community and obviously has never subscribed to the newspaper. This girl obviously saw this, so she found her own.
After all, Kim Hyun-tae has lived in this time and space in the United States for nine months, almost ten months, so he is still very clear about this matter.
He immediately understood the purpose of the girl who appeared outside the garden.
"Is it okay to just place an order with you?"
It’s nothing to order a few newspapers, but it won’t cost a few dollars anyway, so Kim Hyun-tae asked.
Obviously, asking this question is like being interested, which makes the girl excited.
"Yes, sir, I am responsible for the delivery and ordering of many newspapers, and my service is also the best in the entire community. It doesn't matter if the newspaper I am responsible for doesn't have what you need, I can help you order and deliver, and you only need to pay 10 yuan a month."
Kim Hyun-tae refused to argue about this. Americans don’t know what modesty means, but the rewards received by girls are acceptable, only 10 yuan a month.
But Kim Hyun-tae has never calculated that if the girl could deliver one-fifth of the newspaper in the entire community, the rewards she received and the commission rebates from the newspaper would be no different.
Of course, compared to adults, children make small money.
But for children of the girls age, that is definitely a lot of money.
"I need all four newspapers from California Daily, Hollywood Entertainment, Los Angeles Times, American Literature, I need them all, can you order them here?"
Kim Hyun-tae decided to order four newspapers in one breath, which made the girl feel very happy.
But no matter how happy she is, she still has to answer Kim Hyun-tae’s question now. After all, Kim Hyun-tae is now an intended customer and needs to be maintained properly.
"I have an agent for the first three newspapers, and I need to order the American Journal of Literature for you, so there is basically no problem. However, if you order four newspapers here, the commission I distributed will be slightly increased."
The girl actually bargained with Kim Hyun-tae, which made Kim Hyun-tae happy.
Although Kim Hyun-tae's appearance is not much older than a girl, he is a guy with a thirty-six-year-old man's soul after all, so when facing this fifteen-and-six-year-old girl, he is like looking at a child.
"This guy doesn't seem to be much older than me, so I call him a sir. If it weren't for the fact that he could order newspapers, I wouldn't be so polite." The girl saw the smile on the corner of Kim Hyun-tae's mouth and complained in her heart.
But after all, Kim Hyun-tae would order four newspapers, so such a "big customer" girl would not offend her.
Although she boasted that she was the strongest in the entire community, it was what she said herself, not the fact.
In fact, in this community of seven or eight hundred families, the girl only acted as a newspaper distribution and ordering business for more than 30 families, and could only earn more than 100 pocket money per month.
The rest were monopolized by other boys who did the same job.
Most of the job of community newspaper boys is mastered by boys. Although girls can also join in, they are not as advantageous as boys after all.
Therefore, girls cherish any customer very much.
“So how much do you want?”
"25 yuan!"
After the girl thought about it, she responded to Kim Hyun-tae.
This price is not high, but it is not low either.
But considering that every morning, she needs to go to many places to get the newspaper back and then come back to distribute it, the process is also very hard, so it is worth the reward of 25 yuan.
Nodding, Kim Hyun-tae agreed.
When the girl saw Kim Hyun-tae nodding in agreement with her offer, a bright smile appeared on her face.
Haha, with one more customer and one more income, the girl will of course be happy.
Including Kim Hyun-tae's commission of 25 yuan and the rebates given by the newspaper, he can earn more than 40 yuan in pocket money a month.
With this money, you can buy some gadgets you have long wanted to buy.
"Do you live nearby? Or elsewhere in the community?" Since the price has been negotiated, Kim Hyun-tae began to take out his wallet to get the money, preparing to hand it over to the girl for him to help him subscribe to the newspaper, and pay her a commission in advance.
And Kim Hyun-tae asked casually.
"I live next door." The girl only made Kim Hyun-tae understand it with just one word. It turned out that this girl was still a neighbor with him.
"Why, don't you participate in the school club activities? Are you back after school?" It was already 16 pm, and the school was over at 14:30. Obviously, the girl did not participate in the school club club activities, otherwise she would not have come back so early.
The girl raised her hand and straightened her pink safety helmet, and then said to Kim Hyun-tae: "The club has no activity today, so I went home. Sir, I think you are not old, so I guess you are also a student, right? A high school student or a college student?"
Kim Hyun-tae pretended not to hear it, so he didn't answer this question from the girl.
After all, he didn't know how to answer. Could it be that he told the girl that he didn't study?
wipe!
With such a young appearance, she looks only 16 or 7 years old, but she doesn't study and goes to school. She will definitely be despised.
Chapter completed!
