Chapter 8 The Publisher's Response
After checking my email address, the email address was empty and there was no email. It was obvious that the publishers I submitted were not responding to.
However, Kim Hyun-tae was not disappointed at all. After all, it seems that it is not so realistic to respond to him in such a short period of time.
You should know that even the United States has more than 4 billion people, this Earth Federation in time and space has a population of more than 4 billion. So I think these publishers will face a lot of submissions and will take longer to process them.
Discovering your own manuscripts in so many submissions and then determining some problems is obviously impossible to do in a short period of time.
I am not a famous author, so I cannot have special channels and treatment, and can receive special treatment from those publishers.
It is precisely because he knows this truth that Kim Hyun-tae is not disappointed or discouraged by the current situation.
The novel is submitted in a few hours and then the publication is signed and then the sales are sold. This is a plot that only occurs in online novels. In reality, such things are impossible to happen at all, unless Kim Hyun-tae is the author of several sales novels and has a certain popularity, and perhaps there is such a possibility.
But now...hehe...
At this time, my daughter no longer crawled around. After the little guy's own test, she found that she could not stand yet, so she had to give up the plan to stand up and walk. After crawling for a while, the little guy had already hid in the corner and sat alone to play.
A child can play with anything, even without toys. This is the case with the little guy now. She sits alone in the corner of the living room with her back against the wall, competing against the carpet alone.
Since my daughter was having fun, Kim Hyun-tae was so happy that she didn't bother her, and she could have some free time to do some of her own things.
After closing the email, Kim Hyun-tae opened the web page and started searching for some instant news and started reading it.
There are many types of online news in the United States, with various news information, but most of them are from Europe and the United States, not so much about Asia, and more are 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 on online news, as long as you can carefully distinguish and use this method to collect information, it is actually a good choice to understand this time and space.
【US Post】
The content was that Japan Heavy Industry spent a huge amount of money to purchase 60% of the high-rise buildings in Times Square in New York, and was about to monopolize the "advertising sign building" of Times Square. The sour tone made Kim Hyun-tae funny.
At the same time, Kim Hyun-tae has a small understanding and understanding of the degree to which the Japanese are rich in this time and space.
Other online news excerpted from several newspapers and media are also filled with news about Japanese waving money in the United States, buying businesses and real estate on a large scale.
Half an hour later, Kim Hyun-tae closed these news pages, turned on the entertainment gossip website, and began to watch the trail news and celebrity scandals.
However, although the entertainment gossip webpage was opened, Kim Hyun-tae did not focus on it, but considered a question, that is, 'Why does this historical event in time and space not match a certain timeline?'.
Such doubts appeared when Kim Hyun-tae bought a second-hand notebook and was able to access the Internet.
When Kim Hyun-tae learned about this, he was very surprised.
You know, this timeline of time is 2015.
However, before 2015 to 1949, many historical events that have occurred in his original time and space have basically not appeared in this time and space.
So, this time and space seem a bit strange in Kim Hyun-tae's opinion.
For example, a president named Saddam in Iraq is still alive and enjoyable. His Iran-Iran-Iran-Iran War with Iran has never broken out. At the same time, according to news, he has intentionally passed the authority to his son in a few years.
Similarly, a colonel Kafi in Libya is still alive, and the beautiful bodyguard team around him is still continuing to sacrifice and dedicate for him. Of course, this colonel Kafi is also a firm anti-American fighter in this time and space, just like Colonel Kaddafi in another time and space.
The Soviet Union had never invaded Afghanistan. Although the domestic situation in Afghanistan was not very good at this time and was a dictatorial country, it was relatively stable compared to Afghanistan in another time and space.
Although countries on the African continent have been established independently, they have not yet escaped the influence of some European countries. France, Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries have a huge 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 was able to accept all this.
The daughter began to grow teeth and was unwilling to continue being held in her father's arms or carried in a baby belt. The child began to grow up, which made Kim Hyun-tae happy and a little sad.
After all, my daughter is unwilling to stay quiet now, so how can he take her children to work in the future?
After all, as a single father, he really can't take care of everything and can also make money to support himself and his children.
Although hiring a nanny to take care of his daughter is a good choice, considering that if he hires an unreliable nanny, he will not have time to regret it if he is a bad person.
My children are in love with themselves, especially in this multi-ethnic immigrant country, Kim Hyun-tae really has no confidence in hiring a nanny to take care of the children so that he can work with peace of mind.
After taking a look at the little guy who was having fun, Kim Hyun-tae's face was filled with a look of sorrow.
"Oh! I hope the publishing house can give me an answer as soon as possible, successfully handle the publishing of my novels and make money, so that I can change my current living environment, have a good and stable economic conditions, completely get rid of these two jobs now, and then take care of my daughter with peace of mind."
In this regard, Kim Hyun-tae can only place his hope on his novel publishing matters, hoping that he can get rid of his current environment and situation after the novel is published. No matter how many other things are considered, it is fake.
Without money, it is really hard to move forward in this time and space and this country.
Then Kim Hyun-tae got up and prepared dinner for himself and his daughter. After dinner, he played with his daughter for a while. Then Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter to a Chinese restaurant as usual to work as a second job. After finishing work in the middle of the night, he returned home to rest. The next morning, he took his daughter to the car wash.
Although there is hope in life, when the novel is published, 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 was worried, his daughter was a little difficult to take care of now. The little guy no longer wanted to be carried by his father behind his back all day, but hoped that he could be put down by his father and crawl around on the ground and play.
But as his father, Kim Hyun-tae, how could he do this?
After all, cars come and go in the car wash. If a little guy is not good, it will cause big problems. So if the little guy makes a fuss behind his back, Kim Hyun-tae just doesn't satisfy the little guy's wish.
The result is obvious. Kim Hyun-tae has become a little troubled at work, and the little guy's trouble has also caused some criticism from his colleagues.
In this way, during this period, Kim Hyun-tae worked hard while enduring criticism and ridicule, and spent a month waiting for the publishing house to give back to him. Until mid-August, one of the dozens of publishing houses he contributed to finally responded to.
In this email from the "California Cultural Press", it clearly replied that Kim Hyun-tae's novel is very optimistic and can sign a publishing agreement with Kim Hyun-tae. I hope that Kim Hyun-tae can contact him to discuss a series of questions such as meetings and contracts after receiving the email.
At the same time, the other party stated in the email that it can ensure that once the publication agreement is negotiated, the benefits provided to Kim Hyun-tae are absolutely the best.
Kim Hyun-tae didn't care about the last guarantee in the other party's email. After all, the description is fake in the United States, but it can be seen from the other party's email that the other party really looks forward to the novel he "copy".
It is obvious that you must win.
OK! OK! OK!
As long as the other party likes this novel, everything will be done.
This is 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 publication, you can completely get rid of this kind of life and improve financially.
As for whether the novel makes money or not, it is not something Kim Hyun-tae is worried about, because it is not a problem at all.
You should know that this pirated "Song of Ice and Fire" is a very popular novel on another time and space earth. It has sold tens of millions of copies in the English version alone for ten years, and has also filmed TV series, adapted games, and comics. The various benefits it brings are enough to make the author's great success.
In this parallel space-time Earth Federation whose population base has expanded ten times, Kim Hyun-tae can still look forward to the benefits this novel can bring to him, even if he uses his butt and knees, he will never have less benefits than the original space-time, and can only be more.
Therefore, when he finished work in the middle of the night, he checked the email and dialed the phone number left by the other party in the middle of the night. After confirming this, the first thing he did was to ask for leave from the car wash and the Chinese restaurant overnight, and was preparing to go to [California Cultural Press] to discuss matters related to the publishing contract with the other party the next day.
Because he saved some money in half a year, Kim Hyun-tae was not worried about financial pressure and burden after resigning. However, he, who has a soul in his thirties, would not cut off his own way before he was sure that the novel could be published.
That was not the way a smart person would do it, so Kim Hyun-tae was just asking for leave, not resigning.
But once the publisher gets it done, Kim Hyun-tae will definitely resign, and there is no need to think about it.
He saves 1,000 yuan every month, and in the past six months, Kim Hyun-tae has now 6,000 yuan in cash.
With these 6,000 yuan, it is enough for him and his daughter to not have to worry about any problems in life within a few months. So as long as the publishing house negotiates with him, Kim Hyun-tae can hold on for a while after resigning.
Chapter completed!
