Chapter 81 Publication
The smooth publication of Harry Potter was not unexpected. For the smooth publication of this favorite novel, Shao Bo even approached the chairman of the club, Peter Hill Wood.

Originally, Shao Bo entrusted his personal lawyer to arrange all these things, but later he discovered that although his personal lawyer is very useful in the legal level, signing a contract can fully meet the needs.But when he needed to arrange the publication of the novel through his contacts, Shao Bo realized how serious England's discrimination against the Chinese is!
In desperation, Shao Bo called David Dane. David had many friends in the field of football, but he was helpless in terms of publishing.But later, David reminded Shao Bo that Chairman Hill Wood had shares in a publishing house, and he should have no problem asking him for help.

After a phone call, Old Hill agreed to meet Shao Bo.When he walked into the office, Shao Bo realized that he had been coaching the team for almost a year, and he hadn't talked to the club's chairman a few times.Of course, it is impossible for Old Hill, who has a wealth of wealth and many properties under his hands, to stay in Highbury all the time.Any problems are handed over to David Dane. He only attends the regular general meeting of shareholders, and Shao Bo is not yet eligible to attend this kind of meeting.

"Compared to others, I'm still a grassroots, and I can make more money." Shao Bo looked at the luxuriously decorated chairman's office in front of him with emotion. It was also an office, and Shao Bo's was much shabby compared to others.Although he is the head coach of the team, Shao Bo, who doesn't like or is too lazy to decorate, has never cared about the decoration of the office.

Aside from a few Arsenal posters, it's a set of desks and chairs.The clumsy and bloated computer on the table often crashes. If it is okay to say before the system is not maintained and upgraded, it only needs a word from Shao Bo to restore the computer to normal.Now?After Shao Bo took out his laptop and finished his work, I am afraid that those computer repairmen would be able to figure out what went wrong.

"Coffee or tea?" The female secretary's question interrupted Shao Bo's memory.Shao Bo was temporarily attracted by the whiteness in front of him. His career line was so deep, his waist was so thin, and his long legs were hidden by silk stockings, which on the contrary attracted men's attention even more.This professional suit reveals her figure...but how can such a charming old secretary be able to bear it?It's a crime to waste resources, I'm afraid it's not true, now I have nothing to hate, but I used to fuck a lot back then.

"what……".

"Black tea, try my black tea from Dahongling in India. This is the tea from my own manor. It smells good." The old man made his own decision without waiting for Shao Bo to choose.

Another strong person, Shao Bo made an evaluation to the old man in his heart.

Although I feel envy and hatred for this evil capitalist who is so rich that he also has a manor in India, but thinking about the old man in front of him is already very old, he can't help but use the spiritual victory method.Considering that I am still young and have many opportunities, just like the female secretary outside the door, if I hadn't become famous now, I would definitely be able to catch up with him, old man, can you?

"You've done well during this time, young man." Old Hill said after the black tea was served.

"Everywhere, this is inseparable from the foundation left by the team before. The club already has the strength to challenge for the championship." Shao Bo was busy and modest.

Although ordinary British people are not as accustomed to modesty and connotation as in China, it is not enough to just answer carelessly.Especially the older generation like Old Hill, who was knighted by the Queen of England, took a fancy to these red tapes, and Shao Bo's careful handling made Old Hill very satisfied.

Young people should always respect their elders and superiors.However, Arsenal's performance during this period is quite good, and this is what makes Old Hill the happiest.

A while ago he also attended a charity gala with Manchester United owner Martin Edwards.

cut!That kid, who is too poor to repay his debts and can only withdraw cash from the club to pay off his debts, came to the charity dinner?How dare you mock me with the team's performance before?

Thinking of this, Old Hill felt relieved, and he felt a little more satisfied when he saw Shao Bo, who thought he was not bad at first, and his voice became more affectionate.

"I know all about your situation, and I have given the book to the editor to read. It is a good book. Your friend is very talented, and the publishing house has decided to publish it. The editor-in-chief has said that your book is not bad, actually. Even if you don’t need me, if you hand it over to them directly, there won’t be any problem if you want to publish it.”

After hearing the good news, Shao Bo was naturally very grateful to the old man in front of him, flattering and praising him at the same time.Anyway, Old Hill is in control of the club, so he can be regarded as his own boss, and now he has helped a lot, and it is only natural to flatter him a few times.

"The first printing is 5 copies, and someone from the publishing house will talk to you about the royalties. Don't worry, your friend, we will not treat you badly." Old Hill was originally confidently waiting for Shao Bo's thanks, but It was only after he drank the lipstick tea that he saw Shao Bo's troubled expression.

"What's the matter?" Old Hill thought to himself that the conditions were generous enough, what other problems are there?
"Chairman, in fact, you don't need to worry about such a small matter, but I still have a small request. That...is there a little little first print?" After thinking about it, Shao Bo replied.This is Harry Potter!This is a novel that can sell hundreds of millions of copies. Why is the first print so small? Can this be regarded as the dark history of Harry Potter in the future?The editor didn't see the potential of this novel?What a blind man!
Old Hill naturally didn't know about Shao Bo's slander, he always thought it was a novel written by Shao Bo's friend and wanted to publish it, and then asked Shao Bo to get involved.How did he know how much effort Shao Bo put in to make the novel an instant hit and create a sensational effect in the first book.

Of course, Shao Bo didn't just work so hard for his favorite novels. He signed an agreement with J`K`Rowling, and the two shared the proceeds of this series of novels equally.Duoyin will make more money. For the sake of money, Shao Bo naturally has to work harder.

"This is just the first print, and it's good enough for a children's novel." Old Hill was a little annoyed. Could it be interesting for him to take the precious time to chat with you?The publication of this book did not cost me much energy, it was a one-sentence matter.Is it just that today's young people are always so dissatisfied and want more?
Shao Bo smiled, seeing the dissatisfied expression on Old Hill's face, he could probably guess it himself, so he decided to exchange the championship for the number of prints.

"Chairman, this novel is not children's literature. It is suitable for all ages. And I think it must be very popular. I am very optimistic that it will be on the "Times" bestseller list in the future. In fact, I think even if the first printing is less, it will be published. The club will definitely take the initiative to reprint it. It’s just that I was thinking, if I win the league championship this season, Chairman, can you promise me a condition?”

The conversation between Shao Bo and Old Hill still took place at the end of 1996. At that time, Arsenal was competing with Newcastle for the top spot in the standings, and the half-time champion had not yet been determined.

"What conditions?" Businessmen are like this, no matter what bait you throw, you must first understand the other party's requirements.

"The requirement is that the first printing is 50 copies, and the publicity should be stronger, according to the publicity of previous A-level works." Shao Bo smiled embarrassedly and stated his conditions.

What! 50 copies!You were as simple as 50 words at the time?
Although Old Hill owns too many industries and doesn't know much about the publishing industry, and usually just sits quietly at the shareholders' meeting. Anyway, he is fine with dividends, but he also knows that 50 copies is definitely not a small amount.Moreover, it is the publicity of A-level works, which is not a small expense.It's not a Nobel Prize winner, how can so many people buy it?Moreover, if the publicity costs are so high, if the sales are less, it may not be possible to earn back.

"It doesn't take that much for the first printing, the main thing is to promote. Effective publicity can be achieved..."

"Forget it, 50 copies is too shocking and impossible. 20 copies, as long as there is no problem with sales, it will definitely be reprinted. In addition, more efforts can be made in terms of publicity. As long as you win the half-time championship, if you win If it is the league championship, it is estimated that this book will be delayed for another half a year."

Old Hill thought to himself, the young man's current grades are not bad.It doesn't cost much money left and right, just treat it as a reward.But this kid can't be too reckless, this will be the last time.

……

Thinking back to what happened a few months ago, Shao Bo flipped through the physical book in his hand.

Holding the lightly heavy book in his hand and stroking the title of the book in gold on the cover, Shao Bo was filled with emotion for a moment.The pages of the book are light green. This is a gimmick added to protect children's eyesight. In fact, the effect is not great, but it can attract many parents to buy. It is also a marketing method, right?

In fact, Shao Bo had read the contents of the book countless times when he was a child, even the English version once.It's just that the books that I participated in publishing from beginning to end this time are like Shao Bo's children, and a kind of sincere joy emerges from the bottom of my heart.

This is what we participated in publishing!
