Chapter 12

Dave's office is very simple, against the wall is a large dark color bookcase, which is full of neat books, and on the edge is a filing cabinet. The shelves of the filing cabinet are also filled with kraft paper bags. There is no need to think about it.

On the other side is Dave's big desk with computers, papers, office supplies and a photo frame of him and his family.

On the edge of the desk is a big safe. It is obvious that some important items or documents and contracts must be placed in this safe, rather than the file cabinet outside.

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

With just a glance, Kim found that in those photos, Dale was either playing golf, riding a horse, or fishing.

As can be seen from these photos, Dave is a man who enjoys life very much. His entertainment and leisure activities are very rich in private.

Of course, Dave is very happy to enjoy his leisure life outside the time and space of America.

After all, he has lived in the United States for half a year in this time and space. At the same time, in the original time and space, Jin Xiantai can also learn some information about the United States through the Internet, so he is not curious about people like Dave.

After taking back his eyes, Jin Xiantai went straight to the point and didn't want to waste time beating around the bush. He went straight to the theme: "Mr. Dave, please forgive me for being a bit direct. I don't want to waste your and my time, so I want to know what kind of conditions your publishing house is willing to offer? "

if it's in the East, it's a bit impolite for Jin Xiantai to do so. After all, in the East, we need to have a little exchange of greetings before we can get into the theme.

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

So, for such a direct Jin Xiantai, Dave didn't react much. After all, Westerners are willing to communicate in such a direct way.

Sitting opposite Jin Xiantai, Dave also looked at the young asian man in front of him. At the same time, his eyes did not Miss Jin Xiantai's daughter in his arms. He even kept his eyes on the child for a long time.

"Our publishing house is willing to act as an agent for the publication of novels in the United States. As for the rights and interests of films, TV series and other aspects, we don't want them at all. All of them remain in your own hands. Our publishing house has the right to enjoy the priority of agency when the novel has the opportunity of publishing abroad.

As for the copyright fee, our publishing house is willing to give you the price of 10%. I think you should have a detailed understanding of some rules in the publishing industry before you come to me, so you should be aware that the terms I give are very generous. "

since Jin Xiantai got to the point, Dave didn't beat around the bush. As soon as he came up, he told Jin Xiantai publishing house the conditions.

After listening to Dave's words, Jin Xiantai's heart was boiling.

That's what Dave said. The conditions he gave were really generous, and people couldn't find anything wrong with them.

Before he came here, Jin Xiantai really learned about the publishing rules through the Internet, so of course he knew that Dave didn't have a lie.

For a new novelist, you don't have any fame. Even if the novel is read by the publishing house, you can give 5-6% of the copyright fee. That's good luck for Gao Xiang.

Some publishing houses even pay 2% of the copyright fees to new authors.

Don't mention the authors who can get 30% of the copyright fee. There is no comparability at all. We should know that the authors who can get the 30% copyright fee from the publishing house are basically those who have written more than a dozen popular novels and have great fame.

You say a new man of unknown origin, why should you have such ambition?

It's not realistic at all.

Of course, Jin Xiantai is not such a person. He knows his bottom line very well.

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

Other people's Daifu side of the conditions open, generous simply let Jin Xiantai are stunned.

Fortunately, under the young appearance of Jin Xiantai, he is the soul of a middle-aged man, so he hides it well. If he doesn't show all his emotions, he doesn't lose face.

"Please take the liberty, Mr. Dave. Your offer is really very good. If the Publishing Agreement is drafted according to your intention, I can't think of any reason to refuse cooperation.

But I'm also very curious. I'm just a newcomer. Although I'm very confident in my own novel, I don't think it's enough for you to offer such excellent conditions? "

Jin Xiantai is not stupid. Although he knows that his pirated novel is a novel that can be sold in large quantities, there are also many novels of fire in this time and space, and he is not necessarily much better than those people.In particular, under the name of the California Culture Press of Dave, many well-known authors have been recruited. Jin Xiantai has learned about it through the Internet. Among them, there are several popular authors who have sold one billion copies of novels.

Then, in view of such a situation, if you have no special reason, how can you get such favorable treatment?

There must be some special reasons for this.

Instead of being overwhelmed by the favorable conditions offered by Dave, Jin Xiantai quickly calmed down and thought of some problems.

After all, Jin Xiantai's brain intelligence has changed a lot, which is much smarter than before.

And the brain changes to bring him some changes, one of which is quick thinking, while IQ is constantly improving this benefit.

So, under such circumstances, if he can't think of this problem, it's really a waste.

"I've read your novel myself. It's very good. From my point of view, it's definitely a novel that can sell well.

But you are also right. After all, you are a new writer. No matter how good the novel is, you can't get such favorable conditions. Especially, our publishing house only wants to take away the agency right of the paper-based books of American novels, and we haven't considered a series of rights and interests that can be derived from it. This is very abnormal.

You know, we are not idiots or philanthropists. After all, our publishing house has to consider the issue of profit. "

Dave was very appreciative of Jin Xiantai's reaction. The Asian teenager was not dazed and his brain was still very clear. It can be seen that this young man has something special.

If the general new author, after hearing his offer, would have been happy to find the north, at this moment is very excited.

Where can you think of such a problem as Jin Xiantai.

"Why do you? "Jin Xiantai's face was full of doubts. His eyes were full of inquiring eyes and looked at Dave.

"This is what the major shareholder of our publishing house means. This major shareholder holds 60% of the shares of our publishing house. She asked us to give you such excellent conditions. What can I do as a small shareholder. "

Dave shrugged and explained a little.

But Dave's words made Jin Xiantai more confused.

Major shareholder of California Culture Press?

It seems that I don't know such a person, so why does the other party let Dell give him such favorable conditions?

I can't think of it!

I really can't think of it!

Despite the brain changes of Jin Xiantai, his intelligence has surpassed that of ordinary people, and with the passage of time and the increase of his learning, he will become more and more intelligent, but he still has no clue about such confusion.

Looking at Jin Xiantai, who is puzzled and thinking deeply, Dave's face is full of smile.

"Well, you don't have to think so much. You just need to understand that our publishing house is sincere and willing to publish your novels on the best terms. So why do you have to explore and understand. "

What Dave said really brought Jin Xiantai back to his mind from his meditation. At the same time, he felt that Dale's words were very reasonable.

That is, I'll take advantage of it anyway. When signing an agreement, as long as there are no traps, you can sign it yourself.

How do you think that you will not suffer losses, so why bother about it.

Jin Xiantai, who thought about it for a moment, laughed and said to Dave, "I'm sorry, after all, I'm still a young man. It's normal to have this reaction when I encounter such a thing, isn't it. "

well, Jin Xiantai is hiding himself with his age at this time.

But what Dave said to Jin Xiantai was deeply convinced.

After all, according to Dell's first contact with Jin Xiantai via email, he knew that Jin Xiantai was only "16 years old" and was a juvenile.

So, it's normal for a 16-year-old to have this reaction.

It's just that Dave knows that 16-year-old Jin Xiantai has a 36 year old middle-aged man's soul.

"This is basically the case. If you don't have an opinion here, I'll ask the lawyer to come and draft the Publishing Agreement. "

of course, Jin Xiantai will not object to it. Now he and Dave are just talking about each other's conditions. If there is no objection, they will certainly go to the next step.

Jin Xiantai has no problem here. After all, since Dave only talks about this condition here, he can't find fault.

The rest depends on whether there is a problem with the Publishing Agreement.

Look, how simple it is.

It was Annie who indicated that it was a troublesome thing, but now it has become very convenient.

It is obviously impossible for an ordinary new writer to be as easy as Jin Xiantai, and can still get such excellent Publishing Agreement conditions.

"Who is the major shareholder of the publishing house? This person needs to see him in the future. Did he read my pirated novel and thought that I was destined to become a famous writer and had such great potential, so he did it. "Secretary Lola came in with coffee and put them on the tea table in front of Kim Hyun Tai and Dave respectively. Then Dave told Lola to let him send the lawyer here immediately, and let the part in charge of the contract complete the contract and send it.

"If you're not in a hurry, you can do it here for a while. The contract can be drawn up soon. It may take some time for the lawyer to complete it. "Dave picked up the coffee on the coffee table in front of him and motioned to Jin Xiantai.

Jin Xiantai of course is not polite. He also picked up the coffee on the coffee table in front of him, sipped a little, and then put the coffee down.

"Never mind, I have plenty of time. “
