Chapter 24 Buying a Car and New Inspiration

"Thank you, Mr. Dave, I have made up my mind."

"Oh, it's good if there is a decision."

Now that Kim Hyun-tae has made a decision, Dave stopped introducing him and brought up another matter.

"By the way, Xiao Jin, you mentioned when you called me a few days ago that you have created a new novel, right?"

Jin Xiantai is in the United States, and Dave is a relatively familiar person, and he doesn't know anyone except Dave.

So, every now and then, Kim Hyun-tae would call Dave to chat a little bit about work and life.

And during these calls, Kim Hyun-tae also revealed about his 'creation' of a new novel, so Dave immediately took care of it.

However, Dave has never had a chance to ask carefully, this time he finally had a chance.

The sales of "A Song of Ice and Fire" still haven't shown explosive growth, but they are very stable.

It is already mid-October at this time, and it is almost November. The sales volume of the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" this month has remained stable at 1.8 million copies. By the end of the month, I think It is no problem to reach the sales volume of 2.1 million copies last month, and it can even exceed a little bit.

Therefore, for Kim Hyun-tae, who was able to write a best-selling novel like "A Song of Ice and Fire", how could Dave not look forward to the new novel that he "created" recently.

Maybe it's another best-selling novel.

Seeing Dave asking about it, Kim Hyun-tae couldn't hide anything, so he replied to Dave, "It's a fantasy novel."

Fantasy genre novel?

Dave's eyes lit up, and his heart was itchy like a cat's scratching.

In recent years, the fantasy novel market in the United States has become increasingly popular, and many people like to buy fantasy novel books.

If Kim Hyun-tae's novel is of good quality, the publisher can make another fortune.

And this possibility is extremely high, so Dave can't help but not take this matter seriously, and find an opportunity to raise it.

Therefore, Dave immediately said to Kim Hyun-tae: "How much have you created, can you reach the number of books that will be sold in one volume? If you have reached it, I hope you will hand over the novel to the California Press for publication."

Kim Hyun-tae smiled while holding the phone. To be honest, he didn't want to hand over this novel to other publishers, and the pirated version of the novel "The Lord of the Rings" has long been over, and even "The Hobbit" has been pirated. Harry Potter.

However, Kim Hyun-tae did not say that he has completed it all. After all, it is unwise to say so.

Just like the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire", Kim Hyun-tae finished all pirated copies, but the manuscript he handed over to Dave Publishing House was only enough to publish three volumes, not all of them. out.

And these three volumes alone are enough to publish for three or four years.

You know, "A Song of Ice and Fire" in another time and space took twenty years to publish a total of seven volumes before it was completed.

Therefore, the three manuscripts of Kim Hyun-tae's "A Song of Ice and Fire", he himself expects the California Press to publish and sell them for three to four years, are few.

"I'll go back and sort it out. If there are enough numbers, I'll send them to you by email."

Such a response is basically a promise to hand it over to the publishing house, so Dave is very pleased.

"That's good! You have time to come to the publishing house and bring the manuscript of the novel. Don't send it through the mail. If I have read the manuscript and it is OK, we will sign the publishing agreement."

That's fine, as long as Kim Hyun-tae doesn't object to it.

"Alright, I'll go to the publishing house tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Kim Hyun-tae readily agreed.

After finishing the call with Dave, Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter and set off to buy a car.

There are many ways to buy a car in the United States, it mainly depends on what kind of car you want to buy.

Ordinary young people mostly choose the second-hand car market to buy second-hand cars that are affordable and of good quality. After all, the price of second-hand cars is more than half that of new cars, and some can even be as low as 20% of the price of new cars.

If you are lucky, you can even buy luxurious second-hand sports cars in the second-hand car market.

But for Kim Hyun-tae, the second-hand car market is not very attractive, because he is not short of money at all.

As far as his current income is concerned, there is no little pressure to buy a new car.

The 4.2 million cash in the bank, after paying a personal income tax of up to 35%, actually falls into the hands of Kim Hyun-tae, and now only 2.73 million yuan.

But even the 2.73 million yuan is still a huge amount of money, at least for ordinary American families, it is indeed a huge amount of money.

It should be clear that the United States is a society with a credit system, and everyone is used to spending in advance. More than 40% of American families do not have a little bank savings, and they spend today's salary in the next few days.

This is completely different from Asians, especially Chinese.

In China and even Asia, basically every family has some savings to prepare for unexpected needs.

Therefore, such savings can also be called "emergency savings". The attitudes of the East and the West are very different in this regard.

Then, the 2.73 million savings in Jin Xiantai's bank account is very eye-catching.

This shows that he has a high degree of credit, has super purchasing power, and is basically a customer that all types of businesses like.

Of course, although Jin Xiantai is in the United States, he still upholds the Chinese tradition in terms of some concepts in life, as well as the concept of wealth consumption and management.

No credit card, no overspending in advance, no matter how much money you earn, there is a part of planned savings, and the rest will be used for consumption.

Unpredictable things happen, and in his previous life, he encountered an accident caused by an alien elementary school student, so who knows if he will encounter such a strange thing in this time and space.

Therefore, he needs to have some savings. In case of such an accident, at least he can leave some wealth to his daughter so that she can live better in the future.

At the same time, it is also Kim Hyun-tae who is really not used to spending in advance.

With a large amount of cash, Kim Hyun-tae didn't have any headaches or troubles at all when it came to buying a car.

It's not like ordinary American families. When buying a car, they need to choose carefully, and then after comparing the price and other aspects, it takes a long time to make a choice.

Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae bought his favorite car very easily.

Audi A8 black luxury business sedan.

The space of this car is very spacious, and it will not make people feel uncomfortable when sitting in it. It is also equipped with top-level configurations. The price is only 260,000 US dollars after all calculations. The price is really outrageously low. .

The same model will sell for more than 7 million in China.

(The area of ​​parallel time and space is large, the transportation distance is increased, and all aspects are combined)

Because he got his driver's license and the car dealer immediately gave him a California license plate, Jin Xiantai could drive away immediately after paying the payment.

Since Kim Hyun-tae gave cash, the dealer thoughtfully provided a tank of gasoline for free.

Kim Hyun-tae was very excited when he got in his car. This was the first car he owned in his previous life and this life. It was his own car. It would be a lie to say that he was not excited.

Similarly, Kim Hyun-tae's daughter, Coco, was also very excited. The little guy danced excitedly since he got into the car, and looked around curiously. scream.

Unlike his father who owns his own car and is able to buy a car and is happy, the little guy Keke is obviously excited to see new gadgets.

Because she learned the traffic rules, her daughter Ke Ke sat in the 'egg shell' that was removed from the stroller and was placed in the back seat.

According to the traffic regulations in the United States, children cannot be placed in the front passenger seat.

And Kim Hyun-tae, who has already obtained his driver's license, of course knows this and will not violate this rule.

When buying the car, the dealer sent a set of CDs with various types of music. Jin Xiantai thought about it and looked through it, and found a special CD full of light music and played it.

After all, he needs to consider his daughter's feelings, so it is impossible to listen to that nrb or too loud music.

The soft and soothing music sounded and played in the surround sound of the car. It sounds that the quality of the sound effect is very good, which makes people feel very good.

Kim Hyun-tae, who was driving the car, did not take his daughter home immediately, but came to a local hot dog fast food restaurant with a circus clown as its sign and symbol, which is located next to the Hollywood film and television theme amusement park.

The clown is very different from the McDonald's clown in Kim Hyun-tae's original world, and this store sells hot dogs instead of hamburgers, but this store also provides some interactive games for children, attracting many parents with their children come and play.

Kim Hyun-tae also knows this store, and he brought his daughter to play today.

There is no separate play area for children, nor slides or other game facilities, but there are some staff dressed as clowns playing and interacting with the children in a specially opened area in the store.

In short, although the two worlds are not the same, there are fast food restaurants that take care of children's games.

After parking the car and carrying the 'egg shell' baby basket, Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter into the hot dog shop, went to the ordering counter, placed an order with the waiter, and ordered a hot dog set meal.

After a short time, he got the hot dog set he ordered. Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter to the side of the interactive area where the clown and the children sat, and put his daughter's 'egg shell' baby basket in a place with a good view, so that the little ones could see it. Seeing the funny high school performances of clowns who pretend to be mischievous, and the little guy obviously likes to watch it. After seeing those funny clowns, her eyes will naturally be fixed.

And around Kim Hyun-tae and his daughter, most of them are parents with children, but the age of the children is different.

Of course, there are also nine-month-old children like Kim Hyun-tae's daughter Ke Ke, but there are too few of them. Most of them are three or four-year-old children.

Those children played under the leadership of the clown, or ran around a few clowns indiscriminately, anyway, they were very noisy.

Here, children can play freely without worrying about being judged by their parents. This is a place for children, allowing them to release their nature and energy.

He opened his hot dog package and took a bite. Kim Hyun-tae smiled and looked at his daughter who was attracted by the clown, his face was full of tenderness.

At the next table, a Caucasian couple in their thirties was reading a fairy tale book to their three or four-year-old son, and the mother was responsible for reading the content of the storybook to the child.

Jin Xiantai pricked up his ears to listen for a while, and the corners of his mouth twitched, because the fairy tale he heard was too weird, even dark.

Suddenly, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.

He has known the fairy tales in this world, and they all seem to be of a dark and weird nature.

Kim Hyun-tae didn't have a deep understanding of the fairy tales of the countries in this Space-Time Earth Federation, after all, he didn't think it had much to do with him at the beginning.

But at this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he felt that he might also have great potential in fairy tales.

Thinking of this, Kim Hyun-tae shifted his eyes from the middle-aged couple to his daughter, and thought to himself: "I don't want my daughter to read all these fairy tales when she grows up. So, is my father thinking of a way to change this for the sake of his daughter?

Of course, if it is successful, it will not only be able to create some good fairy tales for the daughter in the future, but also allow myself to use fairy tales to create greater benefits for myself and my daughter. "

Originally, he just wanted to bring his daughter here for a refreshment, but Kim Hyun-tae never thought that being here would give him inspiration, a new inspiration to create wealth...
