I Am a Nobleman in England

Chapter 82: Public or not?

   "Yawn——"

   The next morning, Arthur woke up sleepily from his sleep, reached out his hand and touched his side. There was no one. He looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already past nine o'clock.

   sat up, raised his arms, and stretched his waist. I have to say that staying up late is really uncomfortable and dizzy.

Fortunately, he is young and strong, otherwise he will wait for the dragon mother to sleep first and stay up late to code letters. It will definitely be physically and mentally exhausted. How can it be like this, wake up after sleep, and be strong and fierce, and you can fight again. Three hundred rounds!

   What a pity, Long Ma is not strong. . . . . .

   But it is also, after all, the difference is huge, her petite body is her own opponent who can stand on fists, race horses on her arms, and crush rocks with her mouth.

   turned and stretched out his hand to ring the service bell on the wound, lifted the quilt, took the nightgown from the stool on the side, put it on, fastened the belt, walked into the bathroom barefoot on the carpet, and quickly washed up.

When he came out, all the curtains in the master bedroom had been opened, and the maid was cleaning up the shop. Paul the housekeeper was standing next to the sofa in the living room with a white towel on his arm, smiling and waiting. After seeing him, Elegant greetings and greetings good morning.

   Arthur took the white towel Paul handed him and wiped his hands, sat on the sofa, watched the waiter set the breakfast, took a sip of black tea, and asked, "Where is Emilia?"

   "After Miss Emilia had breakfast, she took old Dean and Bert to play frisbee in the garden. She didn't know you were awake, do you need to tell her?"

"Forget it, let her play. By the way, I saw that Old Dean's hind legs were a little shaky before, and there seemed to be some problems with his eyesight. Call the pet doctor to come and have a look." He picked up a sandwich and took a bite. He picked up and unfolded the "Times" which was very flat ironed on the side. While talking, he quickly scanned the headlines of the newspaper.

   The butler Paul showed a touch of sadness on his face, and said helplessly: "It is no longer necessary for the doctor to examine it, it is just too old."

The fingers holding the newspaper couldn't help but tremble, and Arthur also said helplessly and sadly: "Let people look at it, don't let it run out alone... There is a beginning and an end, and its life begins in this castle, so it is also End here, the wild is not its home!"

"Okay, Lord, I'll let people pay attention." After the steward Paul finished speaking, he smiled, and turned off some heavy topics to continue reporting: "In the morning, Tom White calls, and today he will take Random House. A guest from here came to visit you, because you took a rest late last night and I was worried that you could not have a good rest. Therefore, I arranged the time at two o'clock in the afternoon."

   "Oh?" Arthur looked away from the newspaper, looked at Paul the butler and asked with a smile: "Did he say, how did you talk with the other party?"

"By the way, the two parties had a pleasant talk after all. Tom said that the treatment given by the other party is very fair. It is in accordance with European practice. The author's remuneration is a royalty system. The standard tax rate is 15,000 copies. You can get 10% of the book price after tax. , The number of prints increased by 5000, and the royalties increased by 2%. If you publish a pocket book or translate it into a foreign language, you can still withdraw 4% of the profit. In order to show its sincerity, Random House Publishing is willing to pay you one million dollars in advance.

   Listening to the retelling by the butler Paul, the corners of Arthur's slowly upturned mouth were slightly stagnant, and his brows wrinkled slightly, not as happy as he had imagined.

   Paul, who saw Arthur’s face in his eyes, couldn't help but asked with some doubts: "Lord, you don't seem to be very satisfied?"

"Indeed, royalties are not a problem. The key lies in the prepaid manuscript fee, one million US dollars. This is not a small gap from the amount I expected." Arthur is not greedy, but dependent. After all, now "Grey's "Fifty Shadows" is not generally popular on the Internet, especially in North America, which is by no means comparable to a general bestseller.

   One million US dollars in advance for the manuscript fee is not too much, but not too much, it can only be regarded as a satisfactory amount, but for Arthur who is crazy about money, it is really unsatisfactory.

And after hearing his own young earl’s words that he couldn’t be satisfied with a million dollars, the butler Paul really didn’t know what to say. In his opinion, he had been making endless money for Arthur during this period of time. , And the amount of money obtained, I am really surprised and admired.

As the chief steward of the Bolling family, he has not seen money, but he was able to earn close to two million pounds in less than a month. This is really the first time he has personally experienced it. The problem is that his count seems to It really didn't take much effort to do it easily. The speed of making money has surprised him.

   Now listening to what the earl meant, he still disliked the low and slow earnings he made. He really didn't know what to say.

   "Forget it, it's useless to say this now, but after meeting the people at Random House in the afternoon, listen to what they say..."

Although the amount did not meet his expectations, it is still satisfactory after all. In any case, he Arthur Boleyn finally made his first million in his life. Well, add that 750,000 and give it to the auction house. The 60,000 pounds from the antique account should be the second one million dollars.

Didn’t a rich man say that the hardest thing to earn in life is the first 1 million, and this basis determines the thickness of your future life. When you earn the first 1 million in life, you are behind When you earn 10 million, you will find that earning 10 million is far easier than earning 1 million for the first time, because you have passed the stage of making money from hard work to earning money!

   Of course, the 1 million mentioned here is the cash flow that can be taken out, not the fixed assets accumulated through time, but the real money!

   To put it bluntly, using money to make money is much faster than getting a fixed dead salary, and the rate of growth is much faster.

   So, not every kind of cattle NAI is called Deluxe, and not everyone can complete the original wealth of 1 million in a short time! And when the key to finding wealth is found, life will change!

   "Ah-really? God, dear, you are so awesome, I can't believe it..."

When Arthur calmly told the news to Emilia, who came back from walking the dog, Long Ma’s expression changed so much that she was full of magical colors, and her two eyebrows were almost alive. The shock made her open her mouth. Sigh. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   I have to say that Emilia's mouth is really big, and when she doesn't make exaggerated expressions, her face is really not good, hey. . . Forget it, for the sake of having a big mouth and many good points, I won't complain.

   "啵——"

The bright red chun was printed on Arthur’s smiling cheeks, Emilia wrapped his arms around his neck, lay in his arms, and smiled happily: “I didn’t expect that this kind of book would be so popular. ."

   "Hey! What do you mean, what is that kind of book? Do you believe that its sales can rival Harry Potter?" Arthur said dumbfoundedly.

"Haha... I'm so ridiculous. Just the content you wrote that changed TAI, and you want to sell it to Harry Potter? Honey, I admit that you are very talented, but you can't be too exaggerated, and you Also consider some of the negative effects that the novel may bring to you. After all, you are an English nobleman or an earl.

My dear, I think it’s best for you to keep your identity secret. In fact, this is also a good marketing technique, a sense of mystery, so everyone can guess who the author of this book is, and it may have unexpected effects. . "Emilia has really been a little unacceptable since she watched "Fifty Shadows of Gray". Arthur was able to write this kind of novel.

"A sense of mystery?" Arthur thought of a certain singer in the celestial dynasty who only heard his voice but did not see him. He was also playing mystery at the beginning. Maybe he should really think about it. After all, he really didn't know. With this authorship, public opinion will drift over there.

I didn’t get the alias name, but rather stinky. I really wanted to cry without tears. Anyway, I only wanted to make money when I wrote this novel. As long as I can make money, it’s fine. As for the reputation of the writer, it seems to have to be renewed. Think of a way. . .
