I Am a Nobleman in England

Chapter 26 Take the first step

"... If nothing else, it is no suspense that things like newspapers will be ruined in the hands of our generation of journalists. We are still young, but the newspaper is old, and the elegy is faintly heard. Just like Jesus lost the church, the world will how?

Maybe there is nothing worse than that. . .

But if all you lose is your chains, you may enter a new and beautiful world, where news is immortal and people can report to nirvana. "

In the study, Arthur looked at the silent Tom and Jerry, and knew that layoffs were a very difficult decision for them, but there was no way around it. It's different, if he doesn't lay off staff and save money, he, Arthur Boleyn, will suffer economic losses.

Of course, he couldn't ignore his subordinate's mood, so he had to come up with some excuses to appease the two of them.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the two people who were originally silent and frowning looked at him with astonished eyes. Arthur was not interested in guessing whether it was because he, a bastard who only knew how to die, could suddenly say Surprised by such unexpected words, he just turned around and nodded at the butler Paul.

The housekeeper Paul nodded indifferently, then turned around and walked to the desk, picked up a stack of documents, walked back to Arthur, and handed the documents to Arthur.

Arthur looked down at the documents, took out one of them, and handed it to Tom of Boleyn Publishing House. Under Tom's curious eyes, he said, "I hope I can get some of the novels above. British publishing rights, is there any problem?"

Tom White looked down at the names listed on the paper, "Game of Thrones" copyright, "The Hunger Games", the British publishing rights of the comic "The Walking Dead", and compiled a set of "Baby's 100 Words Book" with rich pictures and texts.

"Lord, the novel "The Hunger Games" is currently very popular in North America, and it is difficult for us to compete with those big publishing houses. As for the re-copyright of comics and this "Game of Thrones", it should not be a big problem. It is just to compile a new book. time, and market research is required.”

"Do your best." Arthur didn't make it difficult for Tom. To be honest, this was just a casual move by him, hoping to help his publishing house. For the sales of books, if you win the publishing rights in advance, you can at least make a fortune.

Counting on others is never easier than relying on yourself. Arthur held the stack of printed manuscripts of the first five chapters of "Boleyn Manor" in his hand, looked at Jerry and Tom and said, "This is what I wrote according to Boleyn Manor." A family history based on Boleyn Manor, set in a fictitious Yorkshire manor in the 1910s when King George V was in power, the various entanglements caused by the inheritance of family property presented the British upper-class aristocrats at that time A novel about the various states of life with its servants under the strict hierarchy.

You two can take a look at it first. This is my first time writing a novel. If there are any flaws, I hope you two will not hesitate to enlighten me. "

Tom and Jerry looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. They never thought that Arthur would come up with his own novel for them to 'read', well, they would like to believe that one only knows how to drink Fighting football hooligans, suddenly the prodigal son turned around, ready to manage the family business, but writing novels?

They really couldn't believe that a person who was kicked out of college for two years could write a "novel". The profession of a writer is really not something everyone can do. Of course, some people cannot be ruled out. It is true that they have a talent for expressing words, but in their hearts, this does not include the young 'Earl' in front of them.

Don't think that wearing glasses makes you really a literary elite.

However, he was his new boss after all, so he had to show face no matter what. Tom White reached out to take the manuscript with a smile on his face, said a faint compliment, but looked down at the manuscript with contempt in his heart.

Arthur didn't care what the two thought in their hearts, he believed that time and facts would reverse all contempt and misunderstanding.

And Tom White, who had already quickly read the first page of the manuscript, was completely replaced by surprise and astonishment in his eyes at this time. While turning the page, he raised his head and looked at Arthur with incredible and slightly scrutinizing eyes, and the calm smile on his face. After the young earl looked at each other, his eyes became brighter, and he continued to read quickly with his head down.

At this time, Tom has been attracted by the content described in the article. There have been contradictions and conflicts around the issue of inheritance in the story, which is also very dramatic. The story took place in such a distant old age, which also added a layer of mystery.

Especially for the various family banquets and gatherings that are often held by the upper class of the nobles, various celebrities are invited, the description of the scene is luxurious and extravagant, the servants work hard, keep their own place or secretly obstruct, scheming, and want to win the favor of the master. The pictures are presented in front of you.

This is a slightly flawed use of words, but absolutely wonderful novel!

Jerry, who noticed something, became suspicious in his eyes. He looked at Tom who was reading carefully, and couldn't help thinking about it.

"Wow--"

After reading the manuscript in his hand, Tom rearranged the order of the manuscript with excitement and indescribable emotion, and handed it to Jerry, who had long wanted to find out, and then looked at Arthur with bright eyes, very serious Said: "Lord, this is a fascinating story. The plot design is very ingenious, one link after another, every character's appearance is carefully arranged, and almost every task role has unknown The background of the story. I am very impressed!"

"Thank you, I'm glad you like this story. So, what about the flaws? Seriously, this is my first time writing a novel, and I really hope to get your professional advice. Please don't be polite." Arthur said with a very calm smile .

"..." Tom looked at the young earl's frank gaze, hesitated for a moment, and finally said the truth: "If there are any problems, there are only some minor problems in the use of language and characters, but a little modification will solve the problem. No problem."

"That's it..." Arthur nodded, pretending to be thinking, and finally asked with a smile: "I want to serialize this novel in the Southern Daily Echo, what do you think? "

"No problem at all!" Tom hadn't spoken yet, and Jerry, who was looking at the manuscript, looked up directly, looked at Arthur with burning eyes, and said excitedly without hesitation.

"It's like a classic British picture scroll. The story is very wonderful. It reminds me of "Pride and Prejudice". I firmly believe, Lord, your novel will be very popular."

"Hehe, your praise is a bit exaggerated. I dare not compare it with famous books, but if you think it's okay, then it's settled. I hope that "Boleyn Manor" will be published as soon as possible. It's okay. "Arthur waved his hands hastily and laughed, he wasn't crazy enough to rival the classics.

"No problem, I can call now, and then fax the first chapter, and it will be published in the newspaper tomorrow!" Jerry said with a smile on his face, impatiently.
