The submission process is not destined to be smooth sailing, even if you have a good manuscript, no one wants to publish it for you, it is in vain, Bole is not common, especially a wizard like Jerry, who is not currently well-known in the wizarding world.

The Prophet Press made it clear that Dudley's request was denied.

Prophet Publishing is a subsidiary of the Daily Prophet, which is currently one of the largest publishing houses in the European wizarding world.

Dudley is not surprised by this, after all, everything is difficult at the beginning.

Malfoy said he could contact his dad and said that with his dad's status in the wizarding world, this kind of problem must be easy to solve.

But Dudley politely refused, he had not been in contact with Lucius, and he didn't know who the other party was, but through Malfoy's personality and some deeds descriptions, Dudley could probably guess that Malfoy could befriend, but Lucius couldn't, unless Draco could become the head of the family.

Definitely not an easy character to get along with.

So... He found another person.

"Mr. Dursley, are you saying that you plan to publish a book?"

Carlo was a little surprised that Dudley had come to him.

"Yes, Lord Carlo."

"I hope Your Excellency can do this a small favor."

The Caro family owns another large publishing house, the Witch and Poison Press, which is second only to the Prophet Press, where the novel called Lockhart was published, and they made a lot of money for it.

"Even if you find me, if the quality is not too high..."

At the end of the point, Carlo didn't continue.

Showing favor and showing goodwill, but when it comes to interests, he will not give in, and after graduation, he will inherit the Carlo family business.

"Your Excellency can take a look."

Dudley was not angry when he heard this, and gently pushed the finished manuscript to Carlo.

Carlo didn't pay much attention to it at first, flipping through a few random pages, intending to deal with Dudley, but he was fascinated after watching only one episode.

Dudley was not in a hurry, took a sip of black tea, then stuffed a small piece of snack, and waited quietly for Carlo.

It's easy to negotiate, and he's too experienced.

As the minutes passed, Carlo's speed of flipping through became slower and slower, and almost every paragraph was re-read for a long time.

The worldview of DND's Western Fantasy Stream novel and the full description of the characters are deeply fascinating.

Fortunately, there was not much content in this manuscript, and it didn't take long for Carlo to finish it.

"What about the back?"

Carlo's tone was impatient, and he only listened to him ask Dudley, obviously fascinated.

"It's gone." Dudley spread his hands: "I haven't written there yet." ”

"Lord Carlo, how's it going?"

Carlo's expression was serious: "The book is very good, it's just..."

Balabala has said a lot, and it is nothing more than a two-word summary - price reduction.

The usual trick of the publishing house.

I have to say that Caro's vision is still very vicious, and he can see the huge commercial value of "Dragon Lance Chronicles" at a glance.

Once he becomes famous, I'm afraid it will be the next Lockhart.

No! Even above him!

"I've heard that the rap and contrarian publishing house is also good... If you don't think so, I think I can try my luck there. ”

Dudley wasn't in a hurry.

The art of negotiation lies in who has the right to speak.

Dudley is muscular, but it's not just muscular.

In fact, he was inclined to 'Witch and Poison Press' from the beginning, and the Daily Prophet Press only planned to get the other party's willingness to accept the manuscript and then come to negotiate with Caro, but unfortunately the editor of that publishing house did not know the goods.

He had learned about the 'Witch and Poison Press', and even more so about the embarrassment of this publishing house, which could be described as the defeat of Lockhart.

The fire of Lockhart's book made them a lot of money and made them discover a huge business opportunity, so they have been focusing on publishing Lockhart's book, and they are no longer as active in discovering new authors as before, and it would be good if they continued to work with Lockhart like this...

Just a month ago, just as Lockhart was about to release his next new book, he made a request for a redistribution ratio.

Lockhart is already a well-known writer, and his worth will naturally rise, so it is understandable that he wants to increase the proportion of shares with publishing houses, otherwise he will change to other publishing houses, anyway, with his fame, any publishing house is willing to accept it.

It's just a simple price increase, but the main reason is that Lockhart wants too much, so much that the 'Witch and Poison Press' can't afford it at all...

And once the 'Witch & Poison Press' leaves Lockhart, the father of the gold owner, and can't get any decent works to support it in a short time, it will face the situation of bankruptcy, which is to blame on the previous person in charge, the speed of expansion is too fast... Leads to a fault in the capital chain...

The steps are big, and it is easy to pull the eggs.

"No, Mr. Dursley, it doesn't fit there."

As Dudley expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Carlo couldn't wait to interrupt.

Whoever is in a hurry will have the upper hand.

"After all, the Contrarian Press is not a formal place."

The Contrarian Publishing House is a publisher of the Contradiction magazine, and it is indeed not a regular publishing house, because the magazine never pays the sender for the manuscript.

"But I've heard that the contrarian sells better than the Daily Prophet."

"That's right... But..."

Dudley knocked lightly on the table, interrupting Carlo's words, "It could be suitable for 'singing the opposite'. ”

"It can also be suitable for 'Witch and Poison.'"

"It's up to you, my Lord Carlo."

"The current situation of the publishing house is terrible."

Dudley put down his teacup and looked at Carlo quietly.

To be honest, even with Carlo under Dudley's gaze, there was still a lot of pressure, even though he was in seventh grade.

Eventually, he let out a long sigh...

was seen through.

Carlo thought with some frustration.

True... As Mr. Potter's older brother, I wonder how their parents usually teach them.

If Penny had been there, she would have told him that she hadn't taught Dudley anything, that he had taught himself.

Now that there is a consensus, it is much easier to distribute the benefits.

Dudley's share of the share is neither intended to make things difficult for the publisher, nor will it make itself suffer, and even the publisher can take this opportunity to tide over the difficulties.

Of course, there is a premise for all this.

If the sales are good.

So the question is, will the sales of "Dragon Lance Chronicles" be poor?

Of course not...

About three days after signing the contract, the 'Witch & Poison Press' began to build momentum.

A week later, the novel titled "Dragon Lance Chronicles: The Dragon of Autumn Twilight" was officially released on the shelves of major wizard bookstores such as Ritted Marks.

Sales... Unsurprisingly, it's extremely hot...

It was sold out almost on the same day...

The story of the Anshelon continent deeply captivates every wizard...

"Print, seal, move me!"

With the yelling of the director of the witch and poison publishing house, the wizards working inside began a crazy overtime routine.

Of course, they all have overtime pay.
