Professor McGonagall nodded when she heard this, she had planned to find another student of hers, but since Hans is now the editor-in-chief, and has a closer relationship with her, Professor McGonagall also remembers Hans's personality very clearly, a warm and gentle man, who is about to overturn his previous choice.
"Congratulations, Hans, I didn't expect you to be editor-in-chief by now. Professor McGonagall congratulated Hans.
"Thanks to you. Hans replied with a smile, what he said was true, you know, as the only magical school in England, the graduates of Hogwarts basically include all walks of life, and the publishing industry is no exception.
He was born in the Lion Academy, and his talent is not bad, so he naturally stepped into the position of editor-in-chief with the help of his seniors, so there is nothing to say about TOEFL.
After all, no matter which world, it has long been one of the unspoken rules of the industry that the academy faction has its own lineage, as long as you come from the same school, or even the same department, then invisibly, there will be more friendship and intimacy, and naturally, there will be more convenience and connections, even in the wizarding world, the world of adults.
"Let's go to my office first, I can't wait to see my junior brother's work. After the elevator reached the third floor, Hans stepped out of the elevator and walked in front to lead the way, and after guiding the two to his office, he diligently prepared a cup of hot cocoa for the two.
"Have you brought the original?" asked Leon as soon as Hans sat down.
Leon also didn't have an inkblot and gave Hans the first volume of A Song of Ice and Fire, which is Volume 1, Game of Thrones.
This is already the original manuscript of the finished book, and it is the first time Hans has seen it, but he does not feel that there is anything wrong, but is very happy, if the content of the book is qualified, it will save a lot of timesetting time, which is not a good thing for the publishing house.
Professor McGonagall was also drawn to the table, and she wanted to see what was next.
As soon as he got the book, Hans went straight into it, and a good editor-in-chief must first read the content of the book to be published, considering its quality and market value, which is a professional rule and a habit.
But just by looking at the beginning, Hans was attracted to the content, and then there was basically no noise in the whole office except for Hans's page turning.
Professor McGonagall had silently walked behind Hans to rub his book, while Leon, leaning back in his chair and napping, was idle anyway.
It didn't take long for Hans to put down the first volume in his hand, and looked at Leon, who was still napping, with a look of surprise, before asking Professor McGonagall, "Did he really write this book?"
"I guess, after all, I've never heard of a book with the same name, and you probably don't have either. Professor McGonagall quipped.
"Excellent writing skills, huge worldview construction, interlocking and intricate character relationships, as well as a succession of foreshadowing and ups and downs of the plot, this book, part-time perfect! I dare to predict, as long as it is promoted well, this book will become this year's bestseller of the year!" Hans shouted excitedly, loud enough to wake Leon up.
"So, this "Song of Ice and Fire" is eligible for release?" Although he was napping, Leon was not completely asleep, and naturally heard Hans's previous words, and immediately confirmed.
"Of course, if none of this book can be published, then I can't find another book worthy of publication, Mr. Chris, thank you for your trust in our publishing house. "Strength is always the best way to prove a person, Hans, who had opened his mouth and closed his mouth before, changed his salutation directly to an honorific title.
"Very good, thank you for the opportunity, and now we can sign the contract and negotiate the sharing of books and pricing. Leon didn't have any ink, and directly took out the standard negotiation attitude and spoke.
"Of course, oh shit, if it weren't for looking at your cheeks so young, I would have thought I was talking to some great writer who has been famous for a long time. Hans said excitedly, then looked at Professor McGonagall, "Mr. Chris must be a man of the year compared to the school. "
"Of course, he was the most coveted student of several Headmasters at Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall replied, and then sat down contentedly across from Leon, apparently intending to stand with Leon and help him negotiate.
But to her surprise, Leon's maturity and countlessness in the next matters of contract and negotiation made Professor McGonagall call him an expert, and even Hans's face unconsciously oozed sweat, obviously, he was under a lot of pressure for this negotiation.
In the end, it seemed that he couldn't stand it, Hans found his own boss, the editor-in-chief of Silent Ran Books, the editor-in-chief had already learned from Hans in advance about the excellence and broad prospects of "A Song of Ice and Fire", and also knew that Leon was old and difficult, and after sitting down, he directly put on his strongest form.
Professor McGonagall and Hans became onlookers, witnessing the confrontation between the old and the young, and in the end, the two finally compromised with each other when their mouths were dry, and they agreed to cooperate.
Lyon and the publishing house are divided fifty-fifty, and Lyon still holds the complete copyright, but Lyon Books can enjoy the priority right to know about future cooperation, and under the same conditions, if Lyon releases the content of the next part of "A Song of Ice and Fire", he can only give priority to Silent Ran Books.
Of course, Silent Books will also promote and hype "A Song of Ice and Fire" in large quantities, and position it as the primary distribution task within the publishing house, and take the initiative to provide distribution channels and publicity to the foreign wizarding community.
Eventually, the first volume of A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones, was priced at three Galleons and twelve silver sicos, and after the cost, Leon and Silent Books each received a gold Galleon.
"Phew, now I really believe that you can write such a good work. The editor-in-chief let out a sigh of approval to Leon.
"I can't help it, after all, it's to defend my rights and interests. Leon shook hands with the editor-in-chief with a light smile: "The specific cooperation project has been confirmed, and when the results of the first publication come out, if the sales are hot, the follow-up content may also need to trouble your company." "
"It's our honor, we can guarantee that the popularity of this book will be hyped, and the quality of this "A Song of Ice and Fire" itself is enough, as long as the audience's word of mouth accumulates, maybe we don't need to promote it. The editor-in-chief replied, holding Leon's hand hard.
"It was a pleasure to work with. "
"It was a pleasure to work with. "
