Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
After understanding the crux of the publishing house, Ye Ming invited the other party to continue to serve as the president of the publishing house, and then sent the first part of "Harry Potter" - "Harry Potter and the Stone" over.
"Mr. John, I have a work here, if you have time, please help me look at it?"
"It's my pleasure! Boss! "Mr. John immediately received the document. When the document was received, John opened the document and saw the title of the book, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Harry Potter? Is this the name of the protagonist? Enchanter? Could it be related to medieval witchcraft legends?" John smiled disapprovingly.
Like Ye Ming's previous life, in the west of this world, he also experienced the dark Middle Ages, and various legends about witches, witchcraft, vampires, papalates, and paladins spread all over the European continent.
These legends also provided fertile soil and nourishment for the development of European fantasy novels.
But today, the old-fashioned novels of priests and witches, paladins and vampires, etc., have long been written badly, and the reason why the publishing house was completely in a dilemma was because it was too hasty to sign a work about vampires written by a senior fantasy novelist, and as a result, the liquidity of the publishing house was emptied, and the books published on the market hit the streets, and finally the publishing house was on the verge of bankruptcy!
If the other party is also working like this, then you must think carefully about what kind of way to persuade him to put away the idea of publishing this book without offending the new boss!
With this thought in mind, Mr. John cleaned up his mood and looked at it calmly:
"Chapter 1: The Boy Who Never Died......
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, who live at 4 Privet Road, always proudly say that they are unorthodox people. Please, please. They have never been involved in strange things, because they don't believe in those evil ways at all......
The Dursleys lacked nothing, but they had a secret that they feared most would be discovered...... Our story begins on a gloomy, chilly Tuesday......
At this moment, the people of the whole Nanjin gathered in the secret gathering factory and raised their wine glasses and whispered: "A tax blessing is a cough factory that is not dead and Harry, Potter!" Before he knew it, John had finished reading the first chapter, and at this point, his attention was completely drawn to the story! Who are those people wearing cloaks? Who was that Albus Dumbledore?
And the professor Mike who will turn into a cat, who is sacred?
What does "Muggle" mean? Seems to refer to ordinary people? Oh yes, oh, it's a good Yuhui area with some sweat canopies! And that Voldemort, who looks like he's powerful, and what kind of character is it? What kind of existence is Harry Potter? Why do those people pay so much attention to him?
One question after another emerged, tempting Mr. John to look down impatiently!
"Chapter 2, The Glass of the Dark Doctor..."
Chapter 2 begins 10 years later.
From the beginning, it was clear that Harry in the mysterious Cloak had grown up, but he didn't seem to be doing well! His aunt and uncle and his pampered cousin were very unkind to him, which made John frown. But in the process, Harry showed something out of the ordinary. For example, the hair that never gets cut short, the more short the ugly sweater, and the more I jump, I jumped onto the chimney on the roof of the school......
All this let John know that this Harry is not simple!
And the high ~ tide of the story in the second chapter is what happened to Harry and his aunt's family in the zoo!
Harry was able to understand the python, and even more amazingly, the python could talk to him!
The more Mr. John reads, the more fascinated he becomesChapter 3.... Chapter 4...... Chapter 5...
It wasn't until the phone rang that he woke up, picked up the phone, and saw that it was his wife calling.
"Honey, what's wrong, do you have to work overtime again tonight?"
"Overtime?" Mr. John was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked up at the clock in the office, and was stunned to find that it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon! He watched it for more than four hours without realizing it!
"The book...... It's just amazing!" When he came back to his senses, Mr. John immediately screamed excitedly, and Ba Dianhuo's fierce pick-up frightened three annoyances!
After talking to his wife for a while, Mr. John put down his phone and tapped his fingers on his desk, his face full of eagerness - if it weren't for the fact that the staff of the publishing house had already returned from work, he would have been ready to go to the printing work!
With his years of publishing experience, Mr. John knows that this book will definitely be a hit!
Mr. John, who was hot, immediately sent a message to Ye Ming, wanting to ask about the copyright of this work, but after waiting for a long time, there was no reply, and he couldn't help but be a little depressed! But it's no wonder!
Seven o'clock in the evening of London time is the early morning of Huadu time, Ye Ming has already fallen asleep, how can he reply to his message!
When he woke up the next day, Ye Ming saw the message sent by Mr. John, immediately smiled, and replied to the other party: "I wrote this book myself, if you think it's okay, prepare a contract and send it over!" ”
Until the afternoon of the same day, Ye Ming received an email from Mr. John, looking at the exclamation mark full of smoke, Ye Ming seemed to see the jaw-dropping expression of Mr. John on the other side of the screen.
"Sir, is this really your work?!" The other party is not questioning, but it is a little unbelievable because of such a sudden poisonous radiation!
In Mr. John's opinion, this work has the potential to be a fire, and it has reached a very high level, both in terms of writing and description of the customs of England!
There are not many writers in England who can reach this level, and they have long been monopolized by various large publishing groups, and he never dreamed that he would meet one, and the other party is still his boss!
Until this time, John did not know that this boss of his was not from England, but a big Han man on the other side of the ocean! After the contract was signed, Mr. John took the manuscript and began to work non-stop.
After reporting to the Book Publishing Bureau and obtaining the book number, Mr. Chu immediately gathered his staff to start the printing work. When the publishing house changed hands, the employees of the publishing house were still very worried for a while - they were afraid that they would be fired by the new boss!
