Chapter 26 Community Newsboy
When Kim Hyun-tae got an inspiration, it was like encountering another opportunity, so he had no reason to let it go, he knew clearly that he had to seize it, this opportunity not only allowed him to give his daughter a 'gift', but also brought Get yourself a name and glory and fortune.
In the afternoon of the same day, after Kim Hyun-tae continued to complete some chapters of the pirated version of "Harry Potter", he set up new files and documents and started writing the pirated version of "Grimm's Fairy Tales".
In his previous life, when his daughter was one and a half years old, he bought two fairy tales, "The Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Andersen's Fairy Tales", and read them to his daughter every night.
Therefore, since he has read it himself, the content of these stories can be easily recalled by him, which is entirely due to the influence of the mysterious energy that travels through the space-time tunnel.
Speaking of which, not all of the pirated novels that Kim Hyun-tae is doing now can be produced.
First of all, he must have read these books.
Fortunately, he has read a lot of novels in his previous life, so it means that he has a lot of literary resources now, which can be regarded as an advantage.
For those novels and books he hasn't read, sorry, there's nothing Kim Hyun Tae can do.
I have to say, this is also a rather regrettable thing.
But even so, the "A Song of Ice and Fire" he is creating now, as well as the pirated "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", as well as the "Harry Potter" that is being pirated, and the "Harry Potter" that has not yet started pirated. The Twilight Saga and Resident Evil novels are all the capital and advantages for him to settle down in this world.
Moreover, in addition to these novels, he has also registered and left three novels in this space-time US West Coast script library during the past two months, such as "The Bourne", "Taken", and "Resident Evil". The script of the movie.
Once the script is accepted by others, then he can rely on these three scripts to gain a reputation in the entertainment industry, and even earn a lot of money.
And now that the California Press has published the first volume of Kim Hyun-tae's "created" novel "A Song of Ice and Fire", the sales are good, and it has brought him an income of 2.73 million after tax in the previous month. It means that the income should not be bad.
Basically, Kim Hyun-tae's economic pressure has completely disappeared.
Well, under this circumstance, Kim Hyun-tae is completely free to express himself and write what he wants to write.
It's like a children's fairy tale that he wants to 'create' now.
Of course, the more important reason is that Kim Hyun-tae feels that the fairy tales of this time and space are very unsuitable for children.
Once Ke Ke grows up in the future and sees such a wonderful fairy tale, Kim Hyun-tae does not want his daughter to leave any psychological shadow.
Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae took this opportunity to write a fairy tale suitable for all ages, which can be regarded as the first "gift" he gave his daughter in this world as a father.
While his daughter was still asleep, Kim Hyun-tae was completely immersed in the passion of creation (piracy), and turned a deaf ear to the outside world.
Since it is not a holiday yet, there are not many people on the Santa Monica beach, but there are also some men and women playing volleyball on the beach, or swimming in the sea.
The Monica beach community is not a scenic spot. Most of the people who haunt this beach location are residents of the community.
Most of those tourists, or Los Angeles locals, gather in the upper and lower sections of Monica Beach, so the middle section of the community is very quiet.
But this is a good thing for Kim Hyun-tae, after all, he also needs a quiet atmosphere and environment for his creation (piracy), if it is too noisy, it will not be very good.
In the afternoon in Los Angeles in the middle and late October, the temperature is still very high.
In just one hour, Kim Hyun-tae has created (pirated) more than a dozen stories from "Grimm's Fairy Tales",
It can be said to be very efficient.
After Jin Xiantai typed the last punctuation mark of the story at hand, a timid voice suddenly came from outside the garden.
"Sir, do you need a newspaper order?"
Hearing this, Kim Hyun-tae looked up and saw a little girl wearing a child safety helmet and riding a bicycle that American children would ride. With a trace of timidity, he looked at himself over the half-person-high fence.
The girl is not very old, but she is also about fifteen or sixteen years old. She wears protective gear on her arms and knees, has brown hair, and has some small freckles on her face. This is a typical American girl.
Seeing Jin Xiantai looking up, the other party summoned up his courage and continued, "California Daily only costs 15 yuan a month. If you like entertainment newspapers, you can also order them from me. At the same time, I will also be responsible for delivering them to you on time every day." At my house, even if it rains and winds, I won’t be late.”
Only then did Jin Xiantai realize that this is a community newsboy.
In this time-space America, every community has such community newsboys. From six-year-old kids to high school students, many children like this job.
Because this can not only exercise him (her) themselves, but also earn pocket money, so many children are willing to use their spare time to do this job.
Unlike Asians, the average American family will not give their children pocket money at will, even the children of the rich have the same experience.
There are exceptions, of course, such as some parents who are too doting on their children, but these people can be ignored.
For most American children, pocket money needs to be earned by themselves, or the family chores that are completely accounted for by their parents.
According to the American concept, there will be gains if you work hard, and it is not advisable to get something for nothing, even if you get money from your parents.
Therefore, community newsboys came into being.
These children are not only responsible for getting up in the morning to get the newspaper back for delivery, but also shoulder the task of attracting subscribers for the newspaper they are responsible for. Every time they get a subscribed customer, the children can also get different commissions .
Kim Hyun-tae is a new resident of this community, and obviously has not subscribed to a newspaper. This girl obviously saw this, so she found her own.
After all, Kim Hyun-tae has lived in this time-space United States for nine months, almost ten months, so he is still very clear about this matter.
He immediately understood the purpose of the girl who appeared outside the garden.
"Is it all right to place an order with you?"
It's nothing to order a few newspapers, anyway, it doesn't cost much, so Jin Xiantai asked.
Obviously, asking this way is equivalent to intention, which made the girl excited.
"Yes, sir, I am responsible for the delivery and ordering services of many newspapers, and my service is also the best in the entire community. It doesn't matter if the newspapers I am responsible for do not have what you need, I can help you order and deliver them, You only need to pay 10 yuan per month as a remuneration."
In this regard, Kim Hyun-tae was noncommittal. Americans don't know what modesty is, but the salary quoted by the girl is acceptable, only 10 yuan a month.
It's just that Jin Xiantai didn't calculate it. If the girl can deliver one-fifth of the newspapers in the entire community, then the remuneration she gets and the commission kickback from the newspaper will not be a small number.
Of course, children earn less money than adults.
But for kids in the girl's age group, that's definitely a lot of money.
"California Daily, Hollywood Entertainment News, Los Angeles Times, American Literary News, I need all these four newspapers, can you order them here?"
In one breath, Kim Hyun-tae decided to order four newspapers, which made the girl very happy.
But no matter how happy she is, she has to answer Kim Hyun-tae's question right now. After all, Kim Hyun-tae can be regarded as a potential customer now, and she needs to take good care of it.
"I have an agent here for the first three newspapers, and I need to order the American Literary Newspaper for you, so basically there is no problem. But you ordered four newspapers here, and the commission I will distribute will be slightly increased."
The girl would still bargain with Kim Hyun-tae, which made Kim Hyun-tae very happy.
Although Kim Hyun Tae's appearance is not much older than the girl, he is a guy with the soul of a thirty-six-year-old man after all, so when facing this fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl, it is like looking at a child.
"This guy doesn't look much older than me, and I still call him Mr. If it weren't for the fact that he can order newspapers, I wouldn't be so polite." The girl saw the smile on the corner of Kim Hyun-tae's mouth , I made a small complaint in my heart.
But after all, Kim Hyun-tae will order four newspapers, such a 'big customer' girl will not offend.
Although she boasted that she was the strongest in the entire community, it was her own words after all, not the truth.
In fact, in this community of 700 to 800 families, the girl only acts as an agent for newspaper distribution and ordering business for more than 30 families, and can only earn more than 100 pocket money every month.
The rest is monopolized by other boys doing the same job.
Most of the work of community newsboys is mastered by boys. Although girls can also join in, they are not as advantageous as boys after all.
Therefore, girls cherish any customer very much.
"So how much do you want?"
"25 yuan!"
After thinking about it, the girl responded to Kim Hyun-tae.
The price is not high, but it is not low either.
However, considering that she needs to go to many places every morning to get the newspaper back and distribute it, this process is also very hard, so it is worth the 25 yuan reward.
Nodding his head, Jin Xiantai agreed.
Seeing that Kim Hyun-tae nodded in agreement with her offer, the girl also had a bright smile on her face.
Haha, with one more client and an extra income, the girl will of course be happy.
Counting Jin Xiantai's 25 yuan commission and the kickback from the newspaper, I can earn more than 40 yuan in pocket money a month.
With this money, I can buy some gadgets that I have long wanted to buy.
"Do you live nearby? Or is it somewhere else in the community?" Now that the price has been negotiated, Kim Hyun-tae began to take money out of his wallet, preparing to hand it over to the girl for him to help him subscribe to the newspaper, and at the same time prepay the commission to her.
And the very casual Kim Hyun Tae asked.
"I live next door." It was only with one sentence from the girl that Kim Hyun-tae understood that this girl and him were still neighbors.
"Why, don't you participate in the school's club activities? Are you back after school?" It was already 16:00 in the afternoon, and the school ended at 14:30. Obviously, the girl did not participate in the school's club and club activities, otherwise she would be impossible Come back so early.
The girl raised her hand to straighten her pink safety helmet, and then said to Kim Hyun Tae: "There is no activity in the club today, so I went home. Sir, I think you are not very old, so I guess you are also a student, right?" High school student or college student?"
Kim Hyun-tae pretended not to hear, so he didn't answer the girl's question.
After all, he didn't know how to answer. Could it be possible to tell the girl that he didn't study?
wipe!
With such a young appearance, it looks like he is only 16 or 7 years old, but he doesn't go to school anymore, he will definitely be despised, okay?
The girl didn't care about Kim Hyun-tae's reaction, and introduced herself to Kim Hyun-tae: "My name is Demi, and I am a ninth-grade student at Monica Public High School."
