Chapter 207

Sharp von Owen is a speculator. If he can, he would prefer to be called a businessman's business sense of smell.

As a matter of fact, he was born in the slums of Elroy. At least a few decades ago, there was a place on the outskirts of the city where poor people could not afford to eat and wear. A large number of abandoned buildings provided shelter for the poor. Sharp still clearly remembered the first money he made by delivering newspapers, He paid only 10 barons a month, the highest of all newsboys. He used the money to buy goods at a low price and sell them in the city. From then on, he began his legendary life.

At that time, people called him the witty sharp, because he could speak well and win the favor of many aristocratic businessmen with one mouth. He could always find business opportunities at the first time by relying on the information he got from the upper class.

Now sharp runs a clothing chain and has branches in several prosperous cities in the kingdom. This is a good deal, because those ladies and ladies always spare no effort to spend their wealth on clothes. Clothes are their pride, and he only needs to give the ladies clothes with the original value of no more than one balun gold coin, so that they can win the favor of their husbands or families.

Sharp believes that this is a golden age everywhere. Anyone who seizes the opportunity can easily earn a lot of wealth.

Sharp, who already has amazing wealth, is naturally not satisfied with this. His status as a businessman makes him always inferior in social activities. Even when he talks with some poor little nobles, he needs to look at each other's faces. The reason is not because of how much power the poor aristocrats have, but because the aristocracy itself represents a class. Even if they have accumulated amazing wealth before entering this class, the merchant's identity is doomed to be unable to cross the Leichi half step.

Years of social experience tells sharp that if he accidentally offends an aristocrat, then the aristocrat only needs to publicize a few words in his own social circle, and his relationship network will be greatly impacted. Now is the time when the relationship between merchants and nobles is most sensitive. Merchants want to squeeze into the circle of nobles, and most nobles look down on the mercenary merchants.

He himself is one of these businessmen. He finally found such an opportunity half a month ago.

By chance, I learned from a friend that someone was selling Harvey Adrian's unpublished novel. At first, he thought it was just a hoax or something, but when he heard that Harvey was looking for a painter, he had a try. Sharp made the right bet and bought the unpublished novel ice and snow by Harvey Adrian from a painter.

It's a fairy tale. He's over the age of reading fairy tales. Although it's not clear why Harvey Adrian wrote a fairy tale, it doesn't matter. What's important is that the person who wrote the novel is Harvey Adrian, who can make an earthquake happen in the social circle of Elloy by stamping his feet.

Full of excitement, he contacted the Cromwell chamber of Commerce. Because he didn't make an appointment in advance, it would have taken a long time for him to wait for a response. As a result, William, vice president of Cromwell chamber of Commerce, called him in person the next day, and because of the novel, they hit it off and reached a consensus.

Although he spent a lot of money to buy these novels, sharp would not be distressed if he could return them. Just climbing the Cromwell chamber of commerce is worth the price, but he dreams of opening a clothing branch in the department store now operated by Cromwell chamber of Commerce.

Cromwell chamber of Commerce has a shorter seniority in Elroy than his clothing chain stores. Originally, it won the favor of a new generation of young nobles by relying on novel goods. After gaining a firm foothold, it squeezed into the aristocratic class by climbing the title of nobility, The most unexpected thing is that Harvey Adrian, who used to be the object of political marriage, suddenly rose to the top of Norton society.

Nowadays, the city of Elroy gives a green light to the Cromwell chamber of Commerce, and the social community is proud to buy the goods of the Cromwell chamber of Commerce. All these are due to the chain effect brought by a person's name.

Sharp is sure that he only needs to be a link in this chain, and his social status will usher in a qualitative change.

In the end, sharp returned six ice and snow novels and kept one at William's command. The clothing store he opened successfully entered the department store of Cromwell chamber of Commerce. At the same time, relying on social relations, he took the novel ice and snow to the printing house for private printing and handed it to some booksellers to sell it at a very low price. As a businessman, he naturally knew what Harvey wanted to do, which was similar to the marketing means of commodities and increased the reputation of commodities, And it's very likely that it's not just a novel like ice and snow.

It's easy for social dignitaries to find out the truth of the incident, and they don't have to worry about what's going on.

······

Not long after Harvey returned to Elroy, the novel "ice and snow" flowed out through special channels. At first, it was circulated among children in civilian areas. They could buy it from booksellers with a small amount of pocket money. Although there are no exquisite illustrations, the stories are still very popular with children. They are not old enough to understand the truth of life in the count of Monte Cristo, so they are more interested in fairy tales.

Fairy tale is still a new literary genre in today's literary world. It originated from the stories that people passed on from mouth to mouth to coax children to sleep. It was only a few decades ago that a publishing house bound these fairy tales together and published a collection of fairy tales called late at night, which marked the birth of this literary genre.

However, after decades of development, fairy tales, even though recognized as a literary genre, are rarely paid attention to. The literature market of adults is still hungry, and fairy tales can't bring a lot of fame and wealth to authors. Who would like to create stories to coax children to sleep? Therefore, the mainstream fairy tales in Wang's country were all published in "late night talk" and spread for hundreds of years.

For children, it is undoubtedly a novel and interesting story. The strange world depicted in the story is in line with children's expectations. There are magical magic, interesting snowman, kind princess and clear conflict between good and evil. More importantly, the warmth shown in the story is no longer the praise of true love in traditional fairy tales, More in line with the concept of children.

All the new things spread quickly among children. Within a few days, most of the common children had a copy of "strange fate of ice and snow". In the deep of the night, they took their parents to read the story to themselves.

Some time later, the literary world in Elroy realized that the author of "ice and snow" was signed by Harvey Adrian. At first, some people didn't believe it. Why would a national famous author write a fairy tale? It's not groundless that Harvey is the author of this fairy tale after watching "ice and snow", which has a lot of unique writing styles.

If someone else imitates Harvey's writing style, it is possible to write one or two chapters of Harvey's novel style. If the whole novel can imitate Harvey's writing style, there is no need to specially imitate Harvey's writing level. It is estimated that they can create excellent novels by themselves.
