Chapter 14 14. Phenomenal work "The Lord of the Rings" (please vote for the new book issue)

The days that followed were calm and monotonous. In addition to studying every day, I also researched potions and exercised.

The difference is that Dudley is more serious and focused on potions, and even troubles Mrs. Figg to help him buy some esoteric potions and herbal magic books. He is also more serious and hardworking about physical exercise.

It's like he was stimulated by something and turned into a learning maniac.

Until the new year crosses, this is a year worth remembering and a very important year.

This year is 1991, the year Dudley and Harry turned eleven.

It is possible to be admitted to Hogwarts when you are eleven years old.

"Harry, I have something to do today, you go home first." One day after school, Dudley suddenly said to Harry: "If your family asks, just say that I made an appointment with my classmates to play ball."

"Okay, Brother D."

Harry nodded obediently and walked towards Little Whinging with his schoolbag on his back. After staying with Dudley for a long time, he knew very well that he shouldn't ask questions.

After parting ways with Harry, Dudley found a hidden alley where there was no one around. He first put on a suit that he had prepared long ago, and then began to apply something on his face.

After a while, a plain-looking young man came out of the alley.

Disguise, or makeup, Dudley lit up from the system, currently only has LV1.

In that system, apart from magic, there are all kinds of skills.

Dudley has to make an appointment with the publishing house today, so he used this image in order to hide his identity.

Although it is a good gimmick that Master Jerry is underage, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Dudley doesn't like trouble, and keeping a low profile is his consistent principle.

The place Dudley agreed with the publisher was in the coffee shop.

Because Dudley told the publisher that he wrote this book in a coffee shop, ordering only one cup of coffee at a time and sitting there all day long.

"Teacher Jerry, long time no see." Jimmy, a staff member of the publishing house, immediately put on a formulaic smile on his face when he saw Dudley.

That smile is called a brilliant one.

Thanks to Mr. Jerry, their publishing house is now very rich.

It is no exaggeration to say that Dudley was their bread and butter.

After some formal politeness, we got down to business.

"The second volume of The Lord of the Rings was, as expected, a huge hit."

"The royalties for this issue have been transferred to your account. If you have any questions, you can contact us at any time."

The second volume of The Lord of the Rings, Dudley, adopted a split formula, and even the first volume was changed to a split formula due to its previous success.

Big sales are normal, but the world is too short of Western fantasy works. The emergence of "Lord of the Rings" is undoubtedly a shock to fantasy lovers in this world.

"I wonder when Teacher Jerry can give us the manuscript for the third volume."

This is the purpose of the publishing house. The hot sales of the first and second volumes of "Lord of the Rings" have made countless people jealous, and the publishing house is also anxious. After all, judging from the current popularity, it is just free money, and no one wants to get it.

The tickets flew away.

Seeing Dudley's delay in answering, Jimmy was a little anxious: "Are you worried about the sharing issue? Don't worry, this is easy to discuss."

Even if the share ratio is reduced, no matter where the sales base is, you will still make money.

If the God of Wealth ran away, that would be a real loss of blood.

Dudley did not rush to discuss the share, but asked: "Mr. Jimmy, we have been working together for two years."

"Yes, Teacher Jerry."

Speaking of this, Jimmy also expressed emotion. Who would have thought that his first attempt could achieve such a great success.

"I think you have good abilities. Are you interested in working with me?"

Dudley didn't waste much time and went straight to the point: "I want to set up a company."

Jimmy didn't refuse or agree immediately, but asked: "What to do?"

"Selling peripherals."

For many things, you don't need to engage in complicated high-tech to make money. As long as you can promote the brand, you can collect royalties and sales of various derivative peripherals without mercy.

For example, Dudley’s Harry Potter in his previous life, or Pokémon, the world’s top IP with the highest revenue-generating ability.

In the later stage, as long as you maintain the heat, take it out and stir-fry it, you can even make money while lying down.

The simplest and most convenient way to make money.

Write novels - sell them well - build a brand - sell peripherals. This is the path Dudley planned from the very beginning. It was planned because he couldn't go to Hogwarts, although he really wanted to go to Hogwarts.

Learn magic.

In my previous life, I was always running around for life, so I can't worry about money in this life.

Even if you can't get into a magic school, you should at least achieve financial freedom.

Especially in the age of technology, the productivity of the Muggle world is no worse than that of wizards.

The threat of technology to spellcasters like wizards is actually not small at all. Take other worlds as an example, such as FATE in the moon world, Emiya Kiritsugu uses a sniper rifle, a pack of bombs, and an origin bullet to perform elite magic.

The teacher held his head and ran away.

In fact, Dudley has always been curious about whether guns can kill wizards.

At least in the Xingyue world, bullets can kill magicians.

Give it a try if you have a chance.

Jimmy did not immediately agree to Dudley, but tentatively said: "Teacher Jerry, can you give me some time to think about it?"

In fact, he was very willing in his heart. After all, he only worked for the publishing house. If the publishing house made a lot of money, it would at least give him a larger bonus, but the bulk of it would still go into the pockets of the people above him.

It's different when you follow Mr. Jerry. Judging from the current popularity of "Lord of the Rings", you can reach the pinnacle of your life even if you divide it a little bit.

But he couldn't be sure whether Dudley was serious or just talking.

Dudley nodded and gave the other party some time to think, and he would definitely agree in the end.

No one has trouble with money.

Next, the two had a fierce and friendly negotiation based on the issue of sharing the third volume of "The Lord of the Rings".

The share ratio was finally determined.

The result was that both parties were very satisfied and ended the negotiation happily.

Dudley: "It's a pleasure to work with."

Jimmy: "It's a pleasure to work with."

Watching Jimmy get up, Dudley drank the milk in his glass in one gulp.

Dudley didn't like the taste of coffee very much, whether it was Italian or American.

So the guy went to the coffee shop and ordered a glass of milk.

According to his words, he is still growing and needs to eat more meat, eggs and milk.

Well, this guy who is nearly 1.8 meters tall is only 11 years old and is indeed still growing.

Within a few days, Dudley received a reply from Jimmy, saying that he was willing to follow Dudley.

As a result, one person contributed money and the other contributed, and soon acquired a factory and started selling "Lord of the Rings" peripherals.

The result was not what Dudley expected. It only took a short month to sell out. The most popular ones were the derivative products of the protagonist Hobbit trio. Of course, the Elf Prince was even more popular among girls.

This already popular work, thanks to the hot sales of these peripherals, has also made more people aware of this work who were originally unaware of it.

Complementing each other, "The Lord of the Rings" quickly became a phenomenal work.

Dear readers, please vote.
