Chapter 26 Taking the First Step

“…If nothing unexpected happens, it is no longer a suspense that something like newspaper is ruined in the hands of our generation of newspapermen. We are still young, but the newspaper is old, and the elegy is faintly heard. What will happen to the world just like Jesus lost the church?

Maybe there is nothing worse than this...

But if all you lose is the chain, you may enter a new and beautiful world, and the news will not die, and the report will be reborn."

In the study, Arthur looked at Tom and Jerry who were silent and knew that layoffs were a very difficult decision for them, but this was also impossible. The problem of sitting in a position was different. If he did not lay off employees or save money, Arthur Bolin would suffer economic losses.

Of course, he had to consider his subordinates' mood, so he had to come up with some remarks to appease the two of them.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the two of them were originally silent and confused, looking at him with surprise. Arthur was not interested in guessing whether the two were surprised because he, a dude who only knew how to commit suicide, could suddenly say such surprising words. He just turned around and nodded at the butler Paul, who was beside him.

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

Arthur looked down with the documents, took out one of them, and handed them to Tom of Boling Press. In Tom's curious eyes, he said, "I hope that the few novels above can be obtained from them. Is there any problem?"

Tom White looked down at the names listed on the paper, "Game of Thrones" re-copyright, "The Hunger Games", and the British publication of the comic "The Walking Dead", and compiled a set of "Baby's One Hundred Vocabulary Books" with 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 publishers. As for the recopyright of comics and Game of Thrones, it should not be a big problem. It only takes time to compile a new book and requires market research."

"You try your best." Arthur did not make things difficult for Tom. To be honest, this was just a chess move for him. He hoped to help his publishing house. Whether it was Game of Thrones or Walking zombies, it caused the sales of books after the popularity of American dramas. He won the copyright in advance and at least made a profit.

It is never easier to rely on others to come by themselves. Arthur took the stack of printed manuscripts of the first five chapters of "Boring Manor" in his hand and looked at Jerry and Tom and said: "This is a novel based on the history of the Boling family, based on the Boling family history, based on the Boling Manor, set in the 1910s, a fictional estate in Yorkshire caused by the inheritance of family property. It presents the various novels of the upper British aristocracy and their servants under the strict hierarchy of the world.

You two can see how it is. This is my first time writing a novel. I have any flaws. I hope you will give me some advice."

Tom and Jerry looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They never thought that Arthur would take out his own novel to let them "read". Well, they were willing to believe that a football gangster who only knew how to drink and fight suddenly turned around and was ready to run the family business, but wrote novels?

They really can't believe that a person who was kicked out of school after two years of college could write any "novel". The profession of writer is really not something that anyone can do. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people do have the talent for writing, but in their hearts, this does not include the young "count" in front of them.

Don’t think that wearing glasses is really a literary elite.

However, after all, he is his new boss, and no matter what, he has to give face. Tom White reached out to take the manuscript with a smile, saying a faint complimentary word, but looking down at the manuscript with contempt in his heart.

Arthur didn't care what the two of them were thinking. He believed that time and facts would reverse all contempt and misunderstanding.

Tom White, who had read the first page of the manuscript quickly, was completely replaced by surprise and surprise. While turning the page, he raised his head and looked at Arthur with an incredible and slightly scrutinized look. After looking at the young count with a calm smile, his eyes became brighter and he continued to lower his head and read quickly.

At this time, Tom was attracted by the content described in the article. The story has always had contradictions and conflicts around the issue of inheritance rights, and it is also very dramatic. The story took place in such a distant old era, and it also added a layer of mystery.

Especially for the various family banquets, gatherings, and invitations to various social celebrities often held by the upper class of the nobles. The scenes were luxurious and extravagant. The servants worked diligently, obeyed themselves or secretly interfered, and had many tricks. The complexity of trying to win the favor of the master is like a series of pictures presented to them.

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

Jerry, who noticed something, became suspicious and looked at Tom who was reading carefully, and couldn't help but think deeply in his heart.

"Crash"

After reading the manuscript in his hand, Tom reorganized the order of the manuscript with excitement and indescribable mood, handed it to Jerry, who had long been there to find out, then looked at Arthur with a bright look and said seriously: "lord, this is a fascinating story. The plot is very clever, one by one, and each character has a carefully arranged appearance, and almost every task character has an unknown story background. I was impressed!"

"Thank you, I'm so happy that you can like this story, so what about the flaws? To be honest, this is my first time writing a novel. I really hope to get guidance from your professionals. Please don't be polite." Arthur said with a calm smile.

"..." Tom looked at the young Count's frank gaze, hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth: "If you really want to say something wrong, there are only some minor problems in the use of language and text, but it will be fine if you modify it a little."

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

"No problem at all!" Before Tom could speak, Jerry, who was looking at the manuscript, looked up directly, looked at Arthur with a burning look, and said excitedly without hesitation.

"It's like a classic British scroll, the story is very wonderful, it reminds me of "Pride and Prejudice". I firmly believe that, lord, your novel will definitely be very popular."

"Haha, your praise is a bit exaggerated. I dare not compare it with classics. However, if you think it is okay, then I will say so. I hope "Bolin Manor" will be published as soon as possible, so it's OK." Arthur waved his hand and smiled. He was not crazy enough to match the classics.
