"Yawn—"

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

sat up, raised his arms, stretched his waist, and had to say that staying up late in a hurry was really uncomfortable and dizzy.

Fortunately, he is young and in the prime of life, otherwise he will be waiting for the dragon mother to sleep first, and staying up late to code the letters, he will definitely be physically and mentally exhausted, how can he be like this, sleep and wake up, and the dragon is fierce, and he can fight another 300 rounds!

It's a pity, the dragon mother is not powerful。。。。。。

But also, after all, there is a huge difference, and she is a petite opponent who can stand on her fist, run a horse on her arm, and break stone in her bear's mouth.

Turned around and reached out to ring the service bell on the wound, lifted the quilt, picked up the nightgown from the stool on the side and put it on, fastened the belt, stepped barefoot on the carpet and walked into the bathroom, and quickly washed up.

When he came out, all the curtains in the master bedroom had been opened, the maid was cleaning up and creating the bunk, and the butler Paul, with a white towel on his arm, was standing by the sofa in the living room, smiling and waiting.

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

"Miss Emilia took old Dean and Bert to play frisbee in the garden after breakfast, and she didn't know you were awake and needed to tell her?"

"Forget it, just let her play, by the way, I saw that old Dean's two hind legs were a little unsteady when walking, and besides, there seems to be a bit of a problem with eyesight, so call the veterinarian to come and take a look." Arthur picked up a sandwich and took a bite, picked up the evenly ironed Times and unfolded it, skimming the headlines as he spoke.

The housekeeper Paul showed a touch of sadness on his face, and said helplessly: "There is no need to ask the doctor to examine it, it is just too old." ”

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

"Okay, Lord, I'll get noticed. After the butler Paul finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face, and he continued to report on the topic of some heavy topics: "In the morning, Tom White called, and today he will bring guests from Random House to visit you, because you rested late last night, and I am worried that you will not rest well, so I have arranged the time at two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

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

Tom said that the treatment given by the other party is very fair, according to European practice, the remuneration is a royalty system, the standard tax rate is 15,000 copies, you can get 10% of the book price after tax, 5,000 more prints, and 2% more royalties. If you publish a pocket book or translate it into a foreign language, you can also withdraw 4% of the profit. As a sign of good faith, Random House Publishing is willing to pay you an advance of one million dollars. “

Listening to the butler Paul's retelling, the corners of Arthur's slowly upturned mouth froze slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was not as happy as he imagined.

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

"It's true that there is no problem with royalties, the key is the upfront payment of the manuscript, which is a million dollars, which is not a small difference from the amount I expected. Arthur is not greedy, but dependent, after all, "Fifty Shades of Gray" is not an ordinary hit on the Internet, especially in North America, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary bestsellers.

The advance payment of one million dollars is not much, but it can only be regarded as a decent amount, but for Arthur, who is crazy about money, it is really unsatisfying.

And after hearing the words that his young earl couldn't satisfy a million dollars, the butler Paul really didn't know what to say, in his opinion, during this period of time, he was really surprised and admired by Arthur's endless means of making money and the amount of money obtained.

As the great steward of the Boleyn family, he has not seen money, but in less than a month, he can earn nearly two million pounds, and it is really the first time he has experienced it, and the problem is that his own earl really seems to have done it easily without much effort, and this speed of making money has surprised him.

Now listening to his earl's meaning, he still dislikes his little and slow earnings, he really doesn't know what to say.

"Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now, let's hear what they have to say after meeting the people at Random House in the afternoon... ”

Although the amount did not meet his expectations, but after all, he was satisfied, anyway, he Arthur Boleyn, finally made the first million in his life, well, plus the 750,000 and the 60,000 pounds obtained from the antiques account of the auction house, it should be the second million dollars.

Isn't there a rich man who said, the most difficult thing to earn in life is the first 1 million, and this foundation determines the thickness of your wealth in your future life, when you earn the first 1 million in your life, you will find that when you earn 10 million in the back, it is far easier to earn 10 million than to earn 1 million for the first time, because you have crossed the stage from making money by hard work to making money with money!

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

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

Therefore, not every kind of cattle NAI is called Trensu, and not everyone can complete this 1 million original wealth in a short time!

"Ahh ”

When Arthur calmly told the news to Emilia who came back from walking the dog, the dragon mother's expression changed to be full of magic, and her two eyebrows were almost like they were alive, and the shock made her open her mouth wide and sigh in surprise.

I have to say that Amilia's mouth is really big, and when she doesn't exaggerate her expression, her appearance is really not to say, hey... Forget it, for the sake of having a big mouth and having a lot of merits, I won't complain.

"Po-"

The bright red chun was imprinted on Arthur's smiling cheeks, and Emilia wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning on his arms, and smiled happily, "I really didn't expect that kind of book to be so popular." ”

"Hey, what do you mean, what do you mean by that kind of book? Do you believe it sells as well as Harry Potter?" said Arthur, laughing angrily.

"Haha... Laugh at me, you still want to compare the sales of Harry Potter with the content you wrote?Honey, I admit that you are very talented, but you can't exaggerate too much, and you also have to think about some of the negative effects that that novel may have on you, after all, you are an English nobleman and an earl.

My dear, I think it's best to keep your identity a secret, in fact, it's a good marketing ploy, a sense of mystery, so that everyone can guess who the author of this book is, and maybe it won't have an unexpected effect. "Emilia has really been a little unacceptable to Fifty Shades of Gray since she saw that Arthur can write this kind of novel.

"Is there a sense of mystery?" Arthur thought of a certain singer in the Celestial Empire who only heard his voice and did not see him, and he was also playing with mystery at the beginning, maybe he really should really think about it, after all, he really didn't know, once his identity as an author was revealed, public opinion would drift over there.

I didn't get another name.,It's a stinky street.,Then I really want to cry without tears.,Anyway, I just wanted to make money when I wrote this novel.,As long as you can make money.,As for the writer's fame.,It seems that you have to think about it again.。。。
