Chapter 207: Speculators

Sharp von Owen was a speculator who would have preferred to be called a businessman's business sense, if he could.

In fact, it is true, he was born in the slums of the city of Elroy, at least a few decades ago there was a place on the outskirts of the city, where there was not enough food and clothing, a large number of abandoned buildings provided shelter for the poor, Sharp still clearly remembered the first money he earned from delivering newspapers, only 10 bale's pounds a month, the highest among all the newsboys, he used the money to buy goods at a low price and send them to the city to sell, and thus began his legendary life.

At that time, others called him the funny Sharp, because he was a good talker, he won the hearts of many aristocratic merchants with just one mouth, and he always found business opportunities at the first time by relying on information from the upper classes.

Sharp now runs a chain of clothing stores with branches in several bustling cities in the kingdom. It was a good deal, for the ladies and ladies always spared no effort to spend their wealth on their clothes, which were their pride, and he only had to give them a garment that was worth no more than a gold barron's coin in order to please them, their husbands, or their families.

Sharp believes that this is a golden age everywhere, and anyone who seizes the opportunity can easily earn a large fortune.

Sharp, who already has an astonishing fortune, is naturally not satisfied with this, and his status as a businessman makes him always inferior when he is active in the social world, even if he talks to some poor little nobles, he needs to look at the other party's face. The reason is not because of how much power the poor nobles have, but because the identity of the aristocracy itself represents a class, and even if they accumulate amazing wealth before stepping into this class, the identity of a merchant is destined to not be able to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

Years of social experience told Sharp that if he accidentally offended a nobleman, the nobleman would only need to publicize a few words in his social circle, and the network he had managed for many years would be greatly impacted. Now was the time when the relationship between merchants and nobles was most sensitive, and merchants cut their heads to squeeze into the circle of nobles, and most of them looked down on mercenary merchants.

He himself was one of these businessmen, and he finally found such an opportunity more than half a month ago.

When he heard from a friend that someone was selling Harvey Adrian's undisclosed form, he thought it was just a scam or something, until he heard that Harvey was looking for a painter and decided to give it a try. Sharp bet on the right treasure and actually bought the unpublished "Frozen" by Harvey Adrian from a painter.

It's a fairy tale, and he's past the age of reading fairy tales, although it's not clear why Harvey Adrian wrote a fairy tale, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the person who wrote this book is the Harvey Adrian, a big man who can make an earthquake in the social world of Elroy City by stomping his feet.

He contacted the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce with excitement, because he had not made an appointment in advance, he would have had to wait for a long time to respond, but the next day William, the vice president of the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce, called him personally, and because of something, the two hit it off and reached a consensus.

Although he spent a lot of money on these, he would not feel distressed at all if he could return them to Sharp, and it was worth the price just to climb up to the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce, but he dreamed of opening a clothing branch in the department store that the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce now operates.

The Cromwell Chamber of Commerce has a shorter experience in El Roy than his clothing chain, originally relying on novel goods to win the favor of a new generation of young aristocrats, and after gaining a foothold, he squeezed into the aristocratic class by relying on the title of nobility he climbed, and the most unexpected thing is that Harvey Adrian, who was originally just the object of political marriage, suddenly rose to the top of Norton's social circle with lightning speed.

The city of El Roy now has the green light to the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce, and the social community takes pride in buying Cromwell Chamber of Commerce merchandise, all because of the knock-on effect of one person's name.

Sharp affirmed that he only needed to be a link in this chain, and his social status would usher in a qualitative change.

Eventually, Sharp returned six copies of Frozen, following William's orders to keep one. The clothing store he opened successfully entered the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce department store, and at the same time, he relied on his social connections to take "Frozen" to the printing house to print it privately and give it to some booksellers to sell at a very low price, as a businessman, he naturally knew what Harvey wanted to do, similar to the marketing of goods, to increase the fame of the goods, and it is likely that it is not as simple as "Frozen".

The powerful in the social world can easily find out the truth of this incident, and they don't have to worry about what will go wrong.

······

Not long after Harvey returned to Elroy, Frozen was circulated through a special channel, initially among children in the downtown area, who could buy it from booksellers for a small amount of pocket money. Although it is not beautifully illused, the stories told in it are still very pleasing to children, who are not old enough to understand the life lessons of The Count of Monte Cristo, and are naturally more interested in fairy tales.

Fairy tales are still a nascent literary genre in today's literary world, originating from oral stories that were used to lull children to sleep, until a few decades ago when a publishing house bound these fairy tales together and published a collection of fairy tales called "Late Night Talk" that marked the birth of the literary genre of fairy tales.

However, after decades of development, fairy tales have been less popularized, even though they are recognized as a literary genre. The adult literary market is still hungry, and fairy tales can't bring a lot of fame and fortune to authors, so who wants to create stories to lull children to sleep? Therefore, the mainstream fairy tales in the kingdom have been published in "Late Night Talk" and have been circulated for hundreds of years.

"Frozen" is undoubtedly a novel and interesting story for children, the strange world depicted is very in line with the children's vision, the story has magical magic, interesting snowmen, good princesses, and clear conflicts between good and evil, and more importantly, the warmth shown in the story is no longer a traditional fairy tale to praise true love, more in line with the concept of children.

All novelties spread quickly among children, and in less than a few days, almost everyone among ordinary children had a copy of "Frozen", and in the middle of the night, they pulled their parents to read the stories to themselves.

After some time, the literary world in the city of Elroy noticed that the author of "Frozen" was signed by Harvey Adrian, and at first some people were a little unconvinced, why would a nationally famous author write a fairy tale? After reading "Frozen", it is certain that it is not groundless that Harvey is the author of this fairy tale, and "Frozen" has a large number of unique writing styles exclusive to Harvey.

If someone else imitates it, it is possible to write Harvey's style in one or two chapters, and if the whole book can imitate Harvey's writing style, there is no need to specially imitate it if you have this level of writing, and you can create it by yourself.
