I am a nobleman in England

Chapter 26: Taking the First Step

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

Maybe there is nothing worse than this...

But if all you lose are the chains, you may enter a new and beautiful world, where the news will not die, and the news will be Nirvana."

In the study, Arthur looked at both Tom and Jerry who were in silence, and knew that layoffs were a very difficult decision for them. However, this was also a matter of no choice. It was only a matter of where to sit. The difference is that if he does not lay off employees or save money, he will suffer economic losses.

Of course, he had to consider the mood of his subordinates, so he had to come up with some rhetoric to comfort them.

Sure enough, as soon as he had said this, the two people with tangled brows were silent and looked at him with stunned eyes. Arthur was not interested in guessing if the two of them were because he was such a second person who only knew to die. He was surprised by such unexpected words, but the butler Paul, who turned his head to the side, nodded.

Butler Paul nodded lightly, then turned and walked to the desk, picked up a stack of documents, walked back to Arthur, and handed the documents in his hand to Arthur.

Arthur looked down at the file with his head, took out one of them, and handed it to Tom of Bolin Publishing. In Tom's curious eyes, he said, "I hope I can take down some of the novels above. Is there any problem with the British publishing rights?"

Tom White looked down at the names listed on the paper, the copyright of "Game of Thrones", "The Hunger Games", the British publishing copyright of the comic "The Walking Dead", and compiled a set of "Baby's Hundred Vocabulary Book" with illustrations.

"Lord, the novel "The Hunger Games" is currently very popular in North America. It is difficult for us to compete with those big publishing houses. As for the re-copyright of the comics and this "Game of Thrones", there should not be a big problem. It is just that the compilation of new books requires Time, and market research is needed."

"Try your best." Arthur didn't make it difficult for Tom. To be honest, this was just his gossip. He hoped to help his publishing house. Whether it was Quan You or The Walking Dead, it was driven by the American TV drama. For book sales, if you get the publishing rights in advance, you can make at least a fortune.

Counting on others, it’s never easier to do it on your own. Arthur took the pile of printed first five chapters of "Bolin Manor" in his hand, looked at Jerry and Tom and said: The family history is based on Boleyn Manor. The background is set in a fictitious manor in Yorkshire during the reign of King George V in the 1910s. The disputes caused by the inheritance of family property show the British upper-class aristocracy at that time. It is a novel about the world with its servants in a strict hierarchy.

You two can see how it is. This is the first time I have written a novel. What are the flaws? I hope you two will give me your advice."

Tom and Jerry looked at each other and saw surprise in each other’s eyes. They didn’t expect that Arthur would come up with his own novel to let them'please read'. Well, they are willing to believe that one only knows to drink. The fighting football hooligans, suddenly the prodigal son turned around, ready to run the family business, but write a novel?

They really can’t believe that a person who was kicked out of the university after two years of college can write a “novel”. The profession of a writer is really not something that everyone can do. Of course, some people cannot be ruled out. There is indeed a talent for verbal expression, but in their hearts, this does not include the young'earl' in front of them.

Don't think that if you wear glasses, you really consider yourself a literary elite.

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

Arthur doesn't care what the two people think in their hearts. He believes that time and facts will reverse all contempt and misunderstanding.

And Tom White, who has quickly read the first page of the manuscript, has completely replaced his eyes with surprise and astonishment. While turning the pages, he raised his head and looked at Arthur with an inconceivable and slightly scrutinizing gaze, with a calm smile on his face. After the young earl looked at each other, his eyes became brighter, and he continued to lower his head to read quickly.

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

Especially for the various family banquets, gatherings, invitations to various social celebrities, the scenes are luxurious and extravagant, the servants are conscientious, guarding themselves or secretly scheming, scheming, and wanting to win the master’s favor. It is like one Picture after picture was presented before him.

This is a novel with a slight flaw in the use of words, but absolutely wonderful!

Perceiving something, Jerry's eyes became suspicious, and he looked at Tom who was reading carefully and couldn't help thinking about it.

"Wow--"

After reading the manuscript in his hand, with excitement and unspeakable mood, Tom rearranged the order of the manuscript and handed it to Jerry, who 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 clever, one link is one link after another. Every character’s appearance is carefully arranged, and almost every role is unknown. The background of the story. I am deeply impressed!"

"Thank you, I am very happy that you can like this story. So, what about the flaws? Seriously, this is my first time writing a novel. I really hope to get advice from your professionals. Please feel welcome." Arthur said with a calm smile. .

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

"So..." Arthur nodded, pretending to be thinking, and finally asked with a smile: "I want to serialize this novel on the Southern Daily Echo. What do you think? "

"No problem at all!" Tom hadn't spoken yet, and Jerry, who was watching the manuscript, raised his head directly, looked at Arthur with scorching eyes, and said excitedly without hesitation.

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

"Hehe, your praise is a bit exaggerated. I don't dare to compare it with the masterpiece. However, if you think it's okay, then that's the deal. I hope "Bolin Manor" will be in the newspaper as soon as possible. Arthur hurriedly waved his hand and smiled. He was not mad enough to match the masterpiece.

"No problem, I can call now, and then fax to the first chapter, and I can see the newspaper tomorrow!" Jerry said with joy, some can't wait.
