Chapter 210 Gloating

According to Kim Hyun-tae's original idea, publishers from European and Asian countries represented their own novels and fairy tales, so they would not sell too badly.

But he never expected that after the settlement, it was only a mere 48 million US dollars, which was too far from the amount he estimated.

In this time and space, the total population of all European countries will exceed 6 billion.

Asia and Japan have a population of 1.2 billion, and South Korea has a population of 800 million, not to mention the huge population of 15 billion in China.

It does not count the Philippines, Vietnam and other South Asian countries, nor India.

Not even Taiwan.

Just based on the population bases of European countries, as well as Japan, South Korea, and China, the sales of novels should not be too bad.

That is a huge group of more than 20 billion people, but... why is this?

Kim Hyun-tae fell into puzzlement and thought for a while.

Qiao An on the phone seemed to have guessed what Jin Xiantai was thinking, so he told him Dave's opinion.

"Boss, do you feel that the income is far from what you expected?"

Facing Qiao An's question, Kim Hyun-tae said honestly: "Yes, this is really very different from what I personally estimated."

Qiao An heard the words and said to Kim Hyun-tae: "Mr. Dave said that which agents gave reasonable explanations in this regard, mainly because your novels and fairy tales have just been put on sale, and you want to have a sales volume. Growth, it will take a while to wait.”

Indeed, sales of novels and fairy tales are, after all, different from most commodities.

Therefore, it is very unrealistic to imagine selling hundreds of millions or billions at once.

Don't look at the $48 million that seems to be very little now, but you have to know that after deducting the personal income tax of the United States, as well as the personal income tax of European and Asian countries, Kim Hyun-tae can actually get the income in hand.

If you don't count the deducted taxes, Kim Hyun-tae's income must be hundreds of millions.

At the same time, we must also think of the contract signed by Kim Hyun Tae and the agents. He himself gets a 20% royalty on the sale price of the book, California Press gets 10%, and the agent gets 70%.

So imagine, actually Kim Hyun Tae's two novels. And a fairy tale is actually selling very well.

It's just that compared with the American side, it will look a little worse.

But when Kim Hyun-tae's novels first started selling, they only sold a few million.

So, it all needs a process.

Qiao An told Jin Xiantai all these words of Dave from a distance.

After listening to Dave's words conveyed by Joan. Kim Hyun-tae felt very reasonable.

So it doesn't bother me anymore.

Think about it, 48 million is not too little, and it would be more than 300 million if it were exchanged for Huaxia Ruanmei coins, wouldn't it?

Even in the United States, tens of millions of dollars is enough for a person to live comfortably for a lifetime, so there is nothing I am not satisfied with.

Could it be that his appetite has grown bigger now?

in the end,

Kim Hyun-tae even came up with such an idea in a self-deprecating way.

You know, last year, he was still working as a car wash for $5 an hour, and he also worked part-time as a dishwasher.

After a month of exhausting work like this, he still has less than $4,000 in income.

For him at that time. He would die laughing at $5,000 a month.

But now the income of 48 million U.S. dollars is still too little for him.

Isn't this a big change in mentality?

Thinking of himself last year, Kim Hyun-tae feels that his mentality is not very good now, which needs to be corrected.

"Okay, Joan, I get it. It seems that I'm thinking too much. Obviously, it's unnecessary. After all, my two novels and the fairy tale have only just started selling abroad. I It’s wrong to overestimate yourself.”

Kim Hyun-tae's mentality has always been very good, which can be regarded as one of his strengths.

Annie also appreciates his good attitude very much.

After hearing what Jin Xiantai said, Qiao An also appreciated it.

"My little boss. It's best for you to think this way. As long as those books can continue to be sold in foreign regions, you will have continuous income every month. From another perspective, this is a good thing. You don't have to care about foreign sales. How much money is brought in, even a dollar is more. Of course, a dollar is impossible."

Qiao An's meaning can be understood by Kim Hyun-tae. According to the meaning of this life assistant, foreign sales are equivalent to money outside the street, and earning an extra share is a benefit, so Kim Hyun-tae only needs to treat this matter with a good attitude and don't think too much about it. More, there will not be so many troubles.

How could Kim Hyun-tae not understand this.

"Thank you, Joanne, I see."

Jin Xiantai expressed his gratitude to Qiao An for her comfort.

He is not a person who is easy to rely on and understand.

After Joan finished talking about this matter, he mentioned the matter of the animation production company.

"I contacted the animation production company during the day, and the second cartoon animation film is almost finished, but right now I haven't found a suitable singer to perform some of the characters' songs, so..."

I don't know why, when Joan talked about this, Kim Hyun-tae suddenly thought of the black girl named Whitney Houston whom he met at night.

Speaking of it, Kim Hyun-tae's animation production company, the second animation script he gave, took the song and dance route, and there will be a lot of scenes where the protagonist sings.

Speaking of which, this kind of method was widely adopted by the Disney company in the previous life, and even at the age of 21, the actual Disney company did not give up.

But in this time and space, this method is very new.

But it is precisely because of this reason that the animation production company couldn't find a suitable singer to perform the songs for the animation characters for a while.

Of course, it's not that there are really no suitable ones, it's just that those singers' asking prices are too high, which is very uneconomical, which has caused the current situation.

At the same time, Kim Hyun-tae himself thinks the same way, instead of spending tens of millions of dollars to invite famous singers, it is better to spend the money on animation production.

In short, in his opinion, hiring a big-name singer or something. This is very unnecessary.

His boss has this kind of mentality, so it is not difficult to guess what choice the animation production company will make.

"Okay, I know about it. I'll take care of it. So is there anything else?"

Keeping this matter in mind, Kim Hyun-tae is going to get in touch with that black girl to see if she is interested in dubbing for animation production.

Kim Hyun Tae felt that this girl had a good voice and great potential.

If she will. Should be a very suitable candidate.

Of course, the most important point is that he doesn't need to spend too much money.

It has to be said that Jin Xiantai has the potential to be a profiteer now, otherwise he would not think about this issue like this now.

"The sales of the toy factory are good. After excluding various miscellaneous items, salaries, and taxes this month, there is an income of 8 million US dollars."

Joan reported to Kim Hyun-tae about the current operating status of the toy factory.

It can be said that Jin Xiantai has left these matters to Qiao An to inquire and deal with them, and he himself has saved a lot of worry.

Life assistant. That's what takes care of these chores.

For the companies and enterprises under his name, Jin Xiantai only needs to control funds and operations.

"8 million net profit? That's not bad."

The corners of Jin Xiantai's mouth curled up, obviously he was very satisfied with the current situation of the toy factory.

"The director of the Discourse TV station mentioned to me that I hope you can go and have a look as soon as possible. Now the TV station's business situation is not very good, there are basically no advertising providers, and the ratings of the programs have been falling again and again. If this situation does not improve. The future will be Very bad."

For the Chinese TV station he bought, Kim Hyun-tae really didn't care about it.

But now that Joan has mentioned this issue, it is obviously impossible for him to ignore it like this.

And his money didn't come from the wind, to buy such a Chinese TV station. Just leave it there and ignore it.

This is not a joke!

So Kim Hyun-tae said to Qiao An: "Today is Thursday, and I will continue to have another class tomorrow. The school is closed on Saturday and Sunday. You tell the people on the TV station that I will go to see it on Saturday, and talk to them by the way." Discuss the matter of the TV station modifying the content of the program.

At the same time, you also inform the animation production company. I'll take a girl over on Sunday to see if it's a good fit for those songs. "

The animation production company's problem needs to be solved. After solving this small trouble, he can wait for the second animation film to hit the major theaters, and then sit and collect money.

After all, this is something that can bring him a lot of income, so how could Kim Hyun Tae ignore it.

As for the problem of the Chinese TV station, Kim Hyun-tae also needs to solve it.

Although this TV station is still very small, and its poor management has brought it to the brink of bankruptcy, after all, it is the only media promotion channel in the hands of Kim Hyun-tae, so it is still necessary for him to re-operate.

And he also has ambitions, wanting to make the TV station bigger, at least to become the mainstream TV media in California.

Well, Kim Hyun Tae's ambition is like this now.

It was too big, he didn't dare to think about it.

For mainstream TV stations in California, this ambition is not too small, okay?

"Okay, Joan, I won't bother you. You should finish your work and rest as soon as possible. You will come back with cocoa after lunch tomorrow."

In the end, Jin Xiantai and Qiao An confessed about their daughter, and then hung up the phone.

He looked up and looked at the wall clock on the wall, the time was exactly 24 o'clock at midnight.

It was getting late, Kim Hyun-tae went up to the second floor, took off his clothes, went to the bathroom and took a hot shower, then went downstairs to the living room and turned on the TV, ready to watch the midnight news for half an hour before going to sleep.

The TV was turned on, and Kim Hyun-tae picked up the remote control and switched to the news station.

It just so happened that the economic report was not over yet, and it happened to be the yen exchange rate that was reported again, which immediately gave Kim Hyun-tae a headache.

[The Japanese yen has been trending strongly recently, rising 2.3% against the U.S. dollar. The latest quotation is...]

Looking at the economic news that had been reported during the day and repeated at midnight on the TV screen, Kim Hyun-tae cheered in his heart.

Wow!

The feast has begun!

Long live!

Big money!

Well, Kim Hyun-tae's mentality at this time is obviously gloating. (To be continued.)
