The night of Halloween is very lively. When Jin Xiantai comes out of the house with his daughter cocoa and Annie to the community street, he has seen groups of children knocking door to door with cloth bags or small plastic buckets.
Coco saw so many children, a time is also very excited, she kept pointing to those older than her children, excited to shout "give me sugar, do not give trouble!"
Jin Xiantai helplessly patted her daughter: "those brothers and sisters, also want candy, you have to ask adults to have it."
For how to spend the Halloween, the little guy coco is very strange. After all, she is the first time to celebrate this festival. She thought that anyone who went out to ask for sugar could ask for it.
After listening to his father's words, coco will go down to the ground immediately, and will not be held in his arms by his father.
Coco's "earthworm skill + carp fighting skill" was very powerful, and Jin Xiantai finally released her.
Out of his father's arms, coco standing on the ground took his father's hand: "go! Go! Go to the adults for candy, cocoa for sugar. "
Looking at Coco's lovely appearance of anxious to find adults to get sugar, Annie, standing on one side, couldn't help laughing and bending down.
"Well, well, well, how can you be so anxious."
Helpless smile, Jin Xiantai looked at Annie who was laughing more than once.
"Next, I'll trouble you. Take the little guy to get some sugar from the neighbors. Don't go far, just be nearby. I have to stay and deal with the children who come to our house to ask for sugar. If I leave, those children who come here don't get sugar, but they will be sad
Considering that there will be children knocking on the door, Jin Xiantai decides to ask Annie to take cocoa to ask for sugar, while he stays to wait for other children to come.
Anne did not object to this arrangement.
On the contrary, Annie appreciates Jin Xiantai's idea of considering others.
"No problem. I'll take care of coco."
Annie nodded and came over. She bent down and looked down at coco and asked, "can I hold you for sugar? We want more sugar together, more than others."
Cocoa heard where there would be opposition, immediately raised his head and opened his arms to Annie, let her immediately hold himself to ask for sugar.
"Cocoa needs the most sugar! More than everyone else. "
"Sure, we can get the most sugar." Annie dotes with coco and makes the little guy happy.
At the same time, Annie had seen that her old housekeeper, Nord, was standing outside the house where he lived and was sending sugar to every child who came to knock on the door.
Anne was afraid of breaking cocoa's word when she had her own people.
If you want the most sugar, you can get the most sugar.
Anne is confident about this.
"Then I'll take cocoa with me."
"Go ahead. It's safe."
Sitting at the door of his own house, Jin Xiantai watched Annie leave with her daughter in her arms. Fortunately, the public order in the community is very good, so Jin Xiantai doesn't have to worry too much about anything.
All of a sudden, the trouser pocket vibrated, this is someone to call oneself. Jin Xiantai immediately reached out of his pocket and pulled out the phone, then pressed the answer button.
"Happy Halloween!"
On the phone, Dave's familiar voice rang in his ear.
Jin Xiantai could hear that there was a bit of noise in the voice of Dave. Obviously, the other party might also accompany the children at home for this happy festival.
"Happy Halloween, Mr. Dave."
Jin Xiantai also responded.
After greeting each other, Dave on the other side of the phone directly said to Jin Xiantai: "your royalty share has been calculated this month. Song of ice and fire sold 2.203000 copies in October, with a total of 4406000 yuan. We will pay the money into your bank account early tomorrow morning, and you can check it at that time."
Well, this is good news. I have more than 4 million pre tax income.
After hearing the news from Dave, Jin Xiantai was in a good mood and immediately jumped several steps.
"Oh, really. That's good news."
"There's more good news." "Although your fairy tale hasn't been on the market for a long time, its sales are booming. None of our publishers have thought of it."
After informing Jin Xiantai about the copyright division of song of ice and fire, Dave mentioned Jin Xiantai's collection of fairy tales.
Compared with the "song of ice and fire" now on sale, Jin Xiantai is also very concerned about the sales of fairy tales.
After all, "song of ice and fire" has just published its first volume. Although it can sell well, the follow-up plot has not yet started. Jin Xiantai himself also knows that there is no such big sale.
Therefore, as long as the novel "song of ice and fire" can temporarily guarantee that he has millions of income per month and the sales volume is stable.What's more, he doesn't ask for anything.
However, when he entered the backstage of the publishing house a few days ago, he saw the sales data of fairy tales, which made him have higher expectations for fairy tales.
At the same time, because the sales of fairy tales are expected to be booming, Jin Xiantai has given more consideration to other aspects.
All these reasons have led to Jin Xiantai's emphasis on fairy tales.
Before the song of ice and fire was launched, and the Lord of the rings was not hot at present, what Jin Xiantai could count on to make a lot of money was fairy tales.
So when he heard that, he immediately asked, "well, Mr. Dave, can you tell me how the sales of fairy tales are now? I haven't logged into the background of the publishing house these days to inquire about this information. "
"Hey, hey." Dave on the other end of the phone laughed. "Sales are booming! I can only answer you with such a word. In less than 10 days, the publishing house has sold 7 million copies in the United States, and this number is far from reaching the peak according to our evaluation
Did you sell seven million copies of fairy tales in less than ten days?
After hearing this, Jin Xiantai was also surprised.
Earlier, he read only 960000 copies. How come they are now more than 7 million copies!
However, considering the huge population base of the world and considering the sales data of 7 million, Jin Xiantai gradually calmed down.
But even so, the sales volume is not low. After all, it has only been on the market for 10 days.
On the other hand, Dave continued to say to Jin Xiantai: "fairy tales are selling well and some people have seen business opportunities. Today, some people have found the publishing house. Let me convey to you the meaning they want to cooperate with. For example, the animation of fairy tale is also found. Some people find that I hope to translate it into other languages and publish it abroad, so as to get the agency right..."
Here, listening to Dave's good news, Jin Xiantai is dealing with the children who start to ask for sugar one after another. Each child will give a bunch of sweets, and the happy little ones will give them a lot of them.
What Dave told himself was really good news.
In particular, "fairy tale" in foreign language version, this is to create wealth for themselves again.
Then he asked Jin Xiantai, "what do you mean? How should I reply to them? "
It's true that Dave said so much. Finally, he would like to ask Jin Xiantai for his opinion.
After all, the copyright of fairy tale is basically in the hands of Jin Xiantai. The publishing house only has the agency right of English version in the United States.
Therefore, when people come to ask about the animation of fairy tales, or translate them into foreign languages, and then sell them abroad, neither the publishing house nor Dave has the right to give a definite answer to each other.
You have to ask Jin Xiantai what he means.
It is for this reason that Dave made a phone call to tell him that the new royalty share has been counted and asked about it again.
As for those people who have been sensitive to the business opportunities since the "fairy tale" has just become popular, Jin Xiantai is really impressed.
He thinks that if he were himself, he would not have such a sensitive business sense.
Jin Xiantai himself sighed in his heart, then began to quickly measure the gains and losses of the interests in his mind.
Considering that he already had some plans, he just thought about it a little bit and decided how to get Dave to respond to those people.
"No matter which country has the right to publish fairy tales in foreign languages, I will authorize your publishing house, Mr. Dave, to talk about it for me. In the end, we will share the interests in half. I believe that Mr. Dave will help safeguard the corresponding interests. After all, he has been taken care of by you for so long... "
Thinking of the "help" that Dave has been giving him, Jin Xiantai also thinks that he should repay him.
Didn't he know that it would be most appropriate for him to interview those who intend to represent the fairy tale and the sales rights of foreign countries?
Jin Xiantai certainly knows.
However, after careful consideration, Jin felt that it was better to entrust him with the negotiation, because it was the most convenient way.
Money! Although one loves money very much and likes more money, the better. But he also knows that sometimes he needs to share some money with others.
Jin Xiantai is not Xiaobai. After all, he has the soul of an adult.
What's more, Dave's Publishing House has always taken good care of itself. Now it's normal to have such an opportunity to repay each other.
It's the white eyed wolf's way of doing it that he only knows what to ask for without thinking about the return.
As a traditional Chinese, Jin Xiantai advocates the idea of repaying each other by dripping water. If you are good to me, I will treat you well.So now that you have this opportunity, and you can win-win, and at the same time save yourself a lot of trouble, why not do it yourself.
After a few months of contact, Jin Xiantai thinks that it is impossible for Dave to pit himself. If he wanted to make a hole, he would not have to wait until now.
The novel "song of ice and fire" written by the new author can make such a good agreement. Obviously, Dave will not be malicious.
It's normal for Jin Xiantai to think so.
People's hearts are full of flesh. He and Dave have been in contact for several months, which can be said to have a good sense of him.
It's just that Jin Xiantai is not clear at all. The reason why he is given preferential treatment is mainly due to the role of Annie.
Otherwise, would Dave treat him like this?
But after all, Jin Xiantai didn't understand, so he could only thank Dave wrongly.
On the other side of the phone, Dave obviously didn't expect Jin Xiantai to make such a decision, which is tantamount to benefiting the publishing house.
In a country like the United States where money is paramount, Jin Xiantai is really Dave couldn't describe how he felt at the moment.
Originally, he was very good with Jin Xiantai's sense organs. Now, because of this, his senses have been upgraded by several levels.
Goodness! conscientious! Good character! Personal morality is also good!
Dave couldn't have wished he had a daughter That's what that is.
So the other end of the phone, Dave holding the phone, fell into a state of wishful thinking, standing at the door of his home, the whole person is a silly and silly look, let the passing children see straight hair smile.
After a long time, he came back to his senses. At the same time, he looked like he was still dreaming. He began to sigh: "I I haven't heard of it, have I? You mean... "
Although he didn't face to face with Dave, Jin Xiantai could also imagine what he was like through his imagination. It must be that kind of stupidity.
Jin Xiantai chuckled and said, "you have heard me correctly. I just want to give the publishing house the agency of the foreign language version. I will talk to those who are interested in it for me. I will share the benefits with the publishing house in half, because I believe in you, Mr. Dave, and I will save my mind, isn't it? It's good for you and me."
As long as not a fool knows, he will get more benefits if he talks about it. But Jin Xiantai knows this, but he still gives it to the publishing house.
So it's impossible to say that Dave is not moved.
He has seen many writers who are open-minded about money, and few people can do Jin Xiantai in front of interests.
"Thank you for your trust in me and the publishing house. The language is too pale. I really can't say anything grateful to you. But I can guarantee with my personality that I will safeguard your interests to the greatest extent. I will leave everything to me."
Dave has made a guarantee here, and Xiantai is trustworthy for his guarantee. After all, he has been dealing with him for a long time, and he knows more about him.
Thinking about it, Kim felt that he should believe in Dave.
"As for the animation and other things, I don't intend to sell them. You can turn down these people who have the intention. I will keep the copyright in my own hands. Naturally, I have my own plan."
How many children can be affected by the animation.
How much wealth can you bring to yourself by taking out the classic characters in fairy tales!?
Therefore, if Jin Xiantai is not a fool, he will not let him out.
That's what he decided long ago.
Otherwise, he would not be in a hurry. He landed at the publishing house a few days ago and saw the sales data of fairy tales. He immediately had the plan to buy a toy factory and set up an animation company.
Because he knows best what fairy tales can bring to himself.
Originally just holding the idea of not being used to the world's dark fairy tales, this prompted Jin Xiantai to instigate such a fairy tale book.
After writing this book, it can also be regarded as a gift for her daughter in the future, so that she can not continue to be devastated by the wonderful fairy tales of the world.
But now a look, unexpectedly there is such a result, he himself did not think of.
But in this case, what can Jin Xiantai do?
Can only be happy to accept it.
"Good! I've written it down. Everything will be done according to your request. " After confirming Jin Xiantai's idea, Dave made a promise again, and then the two chatted again, which ended the conversation.
Jin Xiantai, who finished the call, looked up and saw her daughter, accompanied by Annie, walking home with a bulging red cloth bag.
The blood red cloth bag was put on a small four wheeled vehicle, so Coco's pulling was not laborious at all, very relaxed.
I don't know where the kid got it.
But it's obvious that the little guy has a lot to gain."Daddy! I got a lot of sugar. An old man gave me a lot. He also gave me a car
Before he arrived at home, cocoa could not wait and began to show his father his harvest.
Looking at her happy daughter, Jin Xiantai showed a big white tooth and laughed very brightly.
"Wow! Cocoa is so good. "
Cocoa raised his face: "of course, cocoa is very powerful."
