Chapter 32 Los Angeles and New York
According to Dave, his "Song of Ice and Fire" will basically not have to worry about sales dropping for a long time in the future.
Because the list is very credible, many readers who want to buy books also like to buy some novels based on the books listed on the list and read them home.
In disguise, it can be regarded as an advertisement for the author.
In addition, the conditions for entering the list are extremely harsh and the review intensity is very strict, so the novels on the list can ensure the wonderful content and story, so readers don’t have to worry about being fooled.
So this list has a very strong influence and credibility, at least in the United States.
After Dave told Kim Hyun-tae about this, nothing else happened. Kim Hyun-tae said goodbye, left Dave's office, took his daughter back from Lola, and took her to the parking lot to pick up her car. After Kim Hyun-tae drove away from the publishing house.
As usual, the little guy sat in his "eggshell" baby basket, curiously looking at the pedestrians and shops on the street through the car window, and occasionally making strange sounds of "Wow! Wow!" to express that he had seen the "very amazing" scene.
Kim Hyun-tae was in a good mood at this time. "William's Fairy Tale" and "Lord of the Rings" were handed over to the publishing house, and they could sell them into books in a short time to bring benefits to themselves. At the same time, the current sales "Song of Ice and Fire" has also entered the best-selling list, which has brought sales guarantees in the future.
So, how could Kim Hyun-tae be unhappy?
More importantly, my copyright share has increased to 20%. As long as the Lord of the Rings and William's Fairy Tale sells no worse than "Song of Ice and Fire", it means that the money you get can far exceed the benefits brought by "Song of Ice and Fire".
As he thought about it, Kim Hyun-tae couldn't help laughing out loud, which made the little guy sitting behind look at his father curiously.
Seeing her daughter curiously looking at her daughter in the rearview mirror, Kim Hyun-tae held back her smile, then turned on the car CD and played pure music for her daughter, which diverted her attention.
It was almost noon, and there was not much traffic on the expressway from Los Angeles to Monica, which was far from the same as in the morning.
So, Kim Hyun Tae drove along the way very quickly, and entered the area of Santa Monica City 20 minutes later. Then Kim Hyun Tae drove the car off the highway and onto the fork road leading to the beach community.
When passing through this time and space, when the largest supermarket chain in the United States [Ger], Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter to the supermarket to buy some food and what he needed for Halloween, and then continued to drive home.
It’s different with a car. Kim Hyun-tae can buy a lot of things at once, and no longer have to think that it was like before, and I buy a little bit every time.
Of course, this is also related to the great economic improvement of Kim Hyun-tae.
At the supermarket, Kim Hyun-tae bought several boxes of high-end steaks, as well as some seasonings, fruits and vegetables, skim milk and other foods. He also bought pumpkin lanterns, scarecrows, vampire masks, Halloween children's clothing and adult clothing, as well as dozens of packs of candy.
Parked the car at his door, Kim Hyun-tae got out of the car and took his daughter out of the back of the car, then opened the door and put her daughter in the living room, and then began to move everything into the house from the trunk of the car.
The daughter was very well-behaved and sat quietly in her baby basket, watching her father busy in and out.
After everything was done, Kim Hyun-tae liberated his daughter from the "eggshell" and let the little guy go down to the ground to play by himself.
After getting off the ground, the little guy crawled all the way to the wall, then stood up little by little with his hands holding the wall, and then began to walk towards the backyard with a rough stroke.
The little guy has developed very quickly in the past two months, his teeth have grown a lot, and he has started walking.
Although the road is unstable, the little guy is holding some things that he borrows from, and there is no problem walking by himself.
Kim Hyun-tae took a look and knew that his daughter wanted to go to the back garden to play.
After all, where is the back garden? The little guy can hold the small wooden door of the garden and tease the people passing by the door of his own garden. This is what the little guy likes to do the most.
After all, she is not afraid of being angry at all. She likes to tease anyone, as if she is very familiar with her.
Kim Hyun-tae put all the food he bought into the refrigerator, leaving behind a cabbage noodles for children aged 1 to 2 years old, and a box of steaks to be prepared for himself and his daughter at noon, and then walked to her daughter.
Kim Hyun-tae didn't pick up his daughter because he knew that during this period, the little guy had to practice walking more by himself, so he just opened the door to the back garden and ignored it.
Anyway, there are no edges, so don’t worry about your daughter bumping or something. Besides, although Kim Hyun-tae dotes on her daughter, she will not raise her too expensively.
The little guy was obviously very happy to see his father open the door.
"Babaao!"
Well, this is what dad meant, Kim Hyun-tae could understand.
Although my daughter can simply express her meaning now, sometimes she can speak very clearly, but sometimes she is always not so clear.
Therefore, this requires the father Kim Hyun-tae to work hard to think about his daughter's expression.
"Oh, it's better for you to open the door. What if you don't open it?"
Kim Hyun-tae teased the little guy.
The little guy with his head tilted thought for a while, then responded to his father.
"Bad!", the word is very clear.
OK, what else can Kim Hyun-tae say?
After looking at the time, it was 11:00 and it was obvious that it was a bit early to cook lunch at this time, so Kim Hyun-tae picked up his laptop from the living room and accompanied his daughter to the backyard. As usual, his daughter came to the small wooden door in the garden. She held the wooden door and looked out, seeing that no one could pass by to let her tease her.
But the little guy chose the wrong time. There were very few people on the beach at this time. Basically, everyone went to work and went to school, so the little guy couldn't see a few people.
Finally, the little guy had to give up his hobby and interest, and instead walked staggeringly to the other side of the garden, picked up the toys placed there and started playing with it.
In the entire backyard, in addition to the large number of children's toys bought by Kim Hyun-tae, he even placed a large plastic slide for his daughter to enjoy.
I have to say that Kim Hyun-tae, who has money, is really good to his daughter.
Kim Hyun-tae himself held his laptop and walked to the lounge chair under the porch of the backyard and lay on it, enjoying the warm sea breeze under the cool porch. This was a pleasant time.
Kim Hyun-tae turned on his computer and started to access the Internet.
Link to the Internet, open the web page, enter the words [National Novel Sales Ranking], and search for the web page he needs.
Click, open the link, and found the 2015 rankings. After carefully reading, Kim Hyun-tae found that his novel ranking was indeed very low.
This issue lists a total of 200 best-selling novels, and his "Song of Ice and Fire" ranks at 198, which is basically the bottom.
But thinking about it, Dave said that his novel was already on the list after only two months of selling, so this is also a good result, right?
Indeed, Kim Hyun-tae's royalty share was only one month old, and the sales this month will not be settled until the end of the month, and then the royalty share was obtained for the second month.
Even so, in less than two months, his "Song of Ice and Fire" entered the 2015 best-selling list, and he had nothing to be satisfied with.
If this momentum continues, his "Song of Ice and Fire" will be on the best-selling list again next year, and it will definitely not be this position.
After closing the web page, Kim Hyun-tae opened a video website, selected a few funny videos and watched them and had fun.
Looking at the strange and funny selfies from Texas in the video, Kim Hyun-tae couldn't help but tilt the corners of her mouth, and she also admired her fat Texas in her heart for being so good at playing.
Now, Kim Hyun-tae's life has begun to stabilize and his economic conditions have improved greatly. Basically, he and his daughter are on the right track.
As long as he doesn't commit suicide by himself, there is nothing wrong with this stable and peaceful leisure life.
Compared with Kim Hyun-tae and his daughter who lived a leisurely and peaceful life and began to be rich, a woman began to have a difficult life.
---------------------
vomit!
In the luxurious bathroom, Anne's face was pale and she kept retching. Her days were not easy at all.
The artificial insemination I did in July has been more than three months now, so now she has begun to have a pregnancy reaction.
The old butler Nord stood aside with a concerned look on his face. A maid possessed her and raised her hand to gently pat Anne behind her, hoping to relieve her pain.
"Does women have to go through such a painful cycle when they get pregnant? I regret it now."
When the feeling of vomiting gradually faded, Anne finally recovered her energy. Only then did she stand up with the help of the maid, and then expressed her feelings to the old butler Nord bitterly.
Of course, Nord knew that Anne's words should not be taken seriously.
Although there is a way to solve the pregnancy status of more than three months, Annie's intention was not revealed at all, saying that she is just talking casually now and can't take it seriously once she doesn't.
But Anne was so tortured by her pregnancy reaction that she said that.
"Miss, your pregnancy reaction is much better than that of ordinary people, but this is normal. Some women will have this condition when they are pregnant, and some women don't even react at all."
When the old bachelor Nord didn't know how to answer the lady's words, the maid who supported Anne relieved him.
This maid has given birth to children, so she is more experienced in this area.
Annie looked at the maid after hearing this, then asked in an uncertain tone: "Is this true?" and then said with an envious look: "I envy those who have no pregnancy reaction."
The maid looked at Anne and smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true. I'm a mother of three children, so I know a lot about this."
Wow!
The mother of three children has certainly novices who are comparable to those of novice like Anne.
Chapter completed!
