He and Brett basically knew each other was coming when they heard the sound of Carol's car.Adam hesitated for a moment, and did not go to meet him. Instead, Brett got up first and went out to open the door.

"Hey! Carl, why are you here? I thought I would meet you on Halloween." Brett walked forward and patted Carol on the shoulder, and said affectionately: "The team has a sudden training Is there a plan?"

"Is Adam there?" Carol responded casually, then looked behind him and asked, "I have some more important matters and I want to find him."

"Since when did you guys get along so well? Brother, I'm jealous, this time I'm serious." Brett's hair was darkened. It turned out that he was being affectionate. Thinking of Carol's inexplicable relationship with himself in the past few months. The relationship with his younger brother Adam is much better. Not only did he join the lunch team of their school team at school, but he often saw them get together.

"Hey, don't make trouble." Carol pushed Brett away helplessly, walked to their room, saw Adam leaning back on the seat, and turned his head to look at him when he heard the sound of him coming. , a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Why are you here? Are your Halloween costumes ready?" Adam curled his mouth, leaned back on the chair, and asked with a smile as he watched Carol walk in quickly.

"I can't do anything." Seeing Adam, Carol was not in a hurry. He walked behind Adam, looked at the blueprints on Adam's desk, pointed to the pictures on the blueprints, and said, "This is your Halloween drawing." plan?"

"That disgusting scary doctor image is Brett's plan, mine is the great Sherlock Holmes detective." Adam pointed to the schematic diagram he drew on the desktop and Carol explained: "Look at this hat, and the pipe, and ten Late ninth century British style, ha, I've decided, this is my Halloween costume."

"Hey! How disgusting? This is the great Doctor Illus!" Brett immediately argued loudly when he heard Adam slandering the classic horror character in his mind.

As the character of the evil doctor in Bright's favorite horror TV series, Bright has watched it countless times, and even begged Lai Baker to buy him a whole set of discs as a collection, which made people speechless.

"Anyway, I'm not as handsome as my Sherlock Holmes detective. I simply can't imagine that detective can match the status of Sherlock Holmes in my heart? It's so perfect!" Adam did not hesitate to put a lot of praise on Holmes.

As the most classic detective image in the West, Sherlock Holmes has been sought after by everyone who loves detective novels since its birth. There are countless TV movies based on novels. In the 21st century, there are still classic TV movies adapted from time to time. , such as the volume blessing version, the basic deductive method, and the great detective Sherlock Holmes have all achieved good results.

Carol looked at Adam's elated expression and was speechless for a while, Halloween is not a masquerade party.The corner of his mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hand to stroke Adam's hair. Seeing him staring at him, he withdrew his hand in a happy mood.

"Stop talking about this, I have something serious to see you today." Carol said hurriedly before Adam lost his temper.

"It's as if it's not serious to look for me before." Adam complained speechlessly, but decided to let him go for the time being, wanting to see what "serious things" he wanted to ask him: "Tell me, what is it that made you so Run over in a hurry."

"Harper Collins." Carol said a name slowly.

"Harper Collins?" Adam repeated the name, then jumped up from his seat and said, "Are you serious? Harper Collins?!"

"Yes, yes. Whether you take it seriously or not, I'm talking about the Harper Collins you think of." Carol looked at Adam's incredible expression and was extremely happy in his heart. He nodded and said in agreement. .

"Do you know the publishing editor of their company?" Adam said in a rough voice, Harper Collins, this is not an ordinary name, it is one of the largest publishers in North America and one of the four largest book publishers in the world!

Adam never expected that his "Jurassic Park" could be published by a top publisher like Harper Collins. In his mind, he would be very happy if a regional book publishing house could help him distribute it.

He also thought that if it was really impossible, he would go to Charlie to help him ask if there was any book publishing house he knew.Since the formal finalization of the draft with Carol's help in early October, Carol mentioned that maybe he has a channel to help distribute it. Adam only took it as a polite word, but he didn't expect it to be true?

"No, I don't know him." Carol said seriously, but looking at Adam who seemed frustrated because of the words, he couldn't bear it for a moment, and quickly added: "Although I don't know, my father Meet! Cromwell Harris, the executive editor of HarperCollins in New York, happened to be in town at the invitation of my father."

"Then you told him about my novel?" Although he confirmed the authenticity of this matter, Adam still couldn't believe it, and cautiously asked, "I'm just a high school student. For big people like them, maybe It doesn't matter how good the stuff we write is."

"If you offered to recommend yourself, maybe he really won't accept it. Since he became the executive editor, he basically doesn't sign books himself, but he has a friendship with my father for many years, so he promises to give you a chance." Luo Er held back his complacency and said: "Besides, when I recommended your novel, I gave him a brief introduction to the main plot of the story, and he expressed great interest."

"Really? That's great! When can I go there?" Adam suddenly became nervous, although he was sure that this "Jurassic Park" was really exciting. It has repeatedly created crazy box office.

It's just that this novel was created by him, and many details have been modified. The overall context and storyline have also changed from the original one. He really doesn't know whether these changes are good or bad. What is the difference between the excitement of the whole book and the original story? the difference.

"Anytime." Carol said and added: "But I think the sooner the better, after all, no one is sure how long he can stay here, you know the Christmas season is coming, in the next few months , they'll be in the galloping lanes until next spring's off-season."

"Then let's go there now." Hearing what he said, Adam became even more nervous. He finally met this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't just miss it.

After finishing speaking, he stacked the manuscripts and stuffed them into the bag after confirming that there were no defects, but soon he was afraid of missing them, so he dug them out and checked them again.

This is not over yet, he has considered that in order to be more intuitive, maybe he should bring all the pictures he drew with him, and wait until all the pictures are stuffed into the bag.He also thought, maybe he should bring a few dinosaur models specially made for viewing and playing.

Even Brett was instigated by him to run around looking for all kinds of things, watching him put the model into the bag with great difficulty, and when he stretched out his hand to take away even the small blackboard, he watched the excitement Carol really had no choice but stepped forward to interrupt his crazy behavior.

Holding his face, looking straight at him, he said: "Hey! Hey! Calm down, this is just the first time we meet, the main thing we want to do is to recommend your book to him, other things can be discussed later. "

"Okay. You're right. Our most important thing is to give him this novel." Under Carol's gaze, Adam finally began to regain some sense, nodded and said, "But my handwriting It’s like shit, or how about I have someone else copy it in a beautiful font and hand it to him? You know, first impressions matter.”

Before Carol could speak, he continued: "By the way, first impressions are important. Maybe I should change clothes. Brett brought me that festive suit. I have to take a shower. "

"Okay, okay. Stop!" Carol grabbed Adam's arm and shouted loudly. Seeing that Adam finally stopped, he reached out and stroked Adam's hair and said softly: "Everything is perfect , Adam. Whether it is the font of the novel or your dress, I swear, he will never have a bad impression of you because of this."

"Is there really no problem?" Adam's shoulders suddenly collapsed, and he looked at Carol with some unconfidence and asked.

"I promise, you are perfect like an angel, no one will not love you, you know?" If Brett was not there, Carol would have wanted to give him a long kiss to express the sincerity of his tone .

"Okay, okay." Adam finally calmed down, picked up the backpack full of materials and went out with Carol.

Walking to the door, Carol took Adam's backpack and put it on his right shoulder, then opened the car door, let Adam sit in the seat, and threw the backpack on the rear driver's seat.Sitting in the driver's seat, Carol looked at Adam who was looking at the back seat with a distressed face. Carol sighed helplessly, kissed him on the face, and then attached himself to help him fasten the seat belt .

Standing in the room, Brett frowned slightly, looking serious and thoughtful, looking at Adam and Carol who were fading away.

Following Carol into their family's manor, this is the second time Adam has come to this manor.The experience last time was not a good one. Now that he revisited the old place, Adam didn't feel much emotion.

In fact, there is not much time to feel emotional, after all, this visit to Anderson Manor is not for fun, but about his future.Although such a statement seems a bit exaggerated, if you imagine the other party's position in the US book market, you can know that this is not a lie.

If he is lucky enough to take this train, then for Adam, it will be like getting on the fast track, and the subsequent development will be much smoother.

On the way, Carol told Adam a little about the relationship between Cromwell and old Anderson. They went to the church school together and had a good relationship during school, but they separated after graduation and stopped contacting each other until the old Anderson two years ago. Anderson, who had moved the company from Los Angeles to New York, met him at a business reception and started dating again.

"Mary, where is Mr. Collins?" Carol asked a serving girl with a tray.

"Mr. Anderson is entertaining Mr. Collins in the reception room. Mr. Collins told him that if you come, you should take him there directly, and he will wait there." The maid bowed her head slightly and replied respectfully.

"Thank you, go get busy, let's just go there." Carol nodded, expressing his understanding, and then turned to Adam and said, "Then let's go there."

Adam nodded, thinking that not only did he want to meet Collins this time, but he even met Carl's father by the way. If Carol's parents hadn't been separated since he was a child, maybe he would meet with his parents this time I really don't know if it's good or bad.

You must know that you have led his son into a bend, and you may be taught a lesson when something happens.Thinking of this, Adam followed behind Carol rather tremblingly.

The two entered through the gate, passed through the hall, and walked up the long spiral staircase until they reached the living room on the third floor.

When Adam came last time, this room was locked and he couldn't get in. He thought it was a secret, but he didn't expect it to be a reception room for entertaining guests.

Carol straightened up outside the door, took a breath, his expression became extremely serious in an instant, and then knocked on the door lightly three times, it seemed that he was still a little afraid of this father who didn't see him often.

"Come in." After Carol finished knocking on the door, about five seconds later, he heard a deep voice from inside. It seemed that this was Carol's father.

Carol heard the other party's voice, then turned his head and motioned to Adam, indicating that he was about to enter, and asked him to adjust his mentality.

But looking at his tense and serious expression, Adam realized that he was not nervous anymore. Anyway, they will come anyway, and they will die anyway. If you fail, then lower your requirements and take your time. Issued by the publishing house.

After the door was opened, Adam could see the layout of the entire room at a glance - a distance of forty to fifty square meters, except for a large desk in the middle, surrounded by neatly placed books, he thought he had arrived library.

This surprised Adam quite a bit. He thought that Carl's father, as a lawyer, should have a simple or luxurious layout in the reception room.I didn't expect it to be more elegant than some writers' study rooms.

Old Anderson was sitting behind the desk, with a straight body, wearing a neat suit and a well-groomed beard. He looked like a British aristocratic gentleman, not a traditional American lawyer who was labeled sophistry and smooth.

The other person standing behind him should be Cromwell Harris, one of the editor-in-chiefs of Harper Collins. The two of them are very similar in figure, both in gray and black classic suits, with a well-proportioned figure.

The only difference was that the shirts in the old Anderson's suit were buttoned very neatly, and the suit was neatly pressed without many creases.

Cromwell Harris, on the other hand, unbuttoned two or three shirts directly, and even opened his suit jacket without buttons, making him appear more chic and unrestrained.

When driving over on the road, Carroll once popularized science, saying that this Cromwell Harris seems to be a single person, and he is still single in his 40s.

Looking at his attire, Adam completely got his character.In stark contrast to Carol's father's serious and old-fashioned personality, which almost goes without saying, I really don't know how these two people became friends?

I heard that in the church school they attended together, the two of them were still in the same dormitory. Adam thought about it for a while, and felt that it must be extremely fun for two people to get along like two sparks touching the earth.

"Are you the friend who wrote the novel that Carroll said?" Old Anderson said after scanning Adam up and down.

"Although this is your home, this is my guest and has nothing to do with you." Cromwell said with his hands on Anderson's shoulders, lowering his head slightly.

Then he walked towards Adam from behind the old Anderson, and said with a smile: "This is the first time Carol recommended a novel to me, and I am very interested to know what kind of novel it is." novel."

Just now, with a dark face, he was going to pretend to be an elder, but he was slapped mercilessly by his old friend. Old Anderson could only sigh helplessly, and let him go. Anyway, he hasn't been able to do anything to him for so many years.

"Thank you very much for taking the time to read my book." Adam said as he took the backpack from Carol and opened it, but because he was too excited and it was too full, several things fell out at once. .

Cromwell squatted down to pick up a dropped dinosaur model, looked back and forth over and over again, and asked with great interest: "Is this a Tyrannosaurus rex! Did you make it yourself?"

"Yes, this is Tyrannosaurus rex. But I didn't make it, my brother Brett made it at my request." Adam took out the manuscript from his schoolbag with some embarrassment, and then put several other models into the bag , Hearing the other party's question, he nodded in response.

"You have a good brother." Cromwell looked at the vivid Tyrannosaurus rex model in his hand, and couldn't put it down. After playing with it for a while, he stood up and said, "If your novel is as interesting as your model, then I must Will take it to our company."

"Although I think my novel is a hundred times more interesting than this model, it's up to you to judge in the end." Adam breathed a sigh of relief, and handed over the manuscript.

Cromwell returned the roaring Tyrannosaurus rex model to Adam, then took the manuscript from him, flipping through it as he walked.

He flipped through the pages very quickly, in just a few steps, he had already turned seven or eight pages.

"It's not bad, at least the beginning made me very interested to read it." Cromwell glanced at Adam, who looked a little nervous, and nodded to give him an affirmative answer.

Hearing this sentence, Adam felt at ease immediately. What he was most worried about was the beginning, because compared with the original novel, he changed the most is the first and second volumes. The more exciting it is, there is no doubt about it.

"Grey, I think you can take the frightened little boy to the restaurant to try Dolores' signature dessert, and give me the table." Cromwell put the manuscript on the desk, and then frowned Greg Anderson (aka Anderson Sr.) of .

Greg Anderson stared at Cromwell for a few seconds, finally stood up and said to the dazed duo, "Do you need me to take you to the restaurant?"

"Ah? Of course not." Adam was sure that he heard the other party's full of resentment, and decisively refused.

Then he took out the "Jurassic Park" plot illustrations that he drew when he was writing the novel from his schoolbag again, put them on the desk, and said, "Maybe you will need these when you are reading."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cromwell to answer, he pulled Carol out of the study.

"Close the door." When he walked to the door, he heard old Anderson's words behind him.

As the door slowly closed, Adam and Carol were no different from before entering, except for the lack of manuscripts.

"Has their relationship always been this good?" Adam asked hesitantly.

"Very good." Carol finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, it seemed that the old Anderson put a lot of pressure on him.

Leaving the old Anderson, like a fish in the water, he came alive in an instant. He grabbed Adam's arm and said with a smile: "Let's go, it takes a long time to read a book, enough time for us to use Dolores Desserts fill my stomach."

Adam and Carol enjoyed the Viennese chocolate almond cake and Shahe cake made by Dolores in the restaurant, and were captured by these two cakes in the shortest time.

While moving the spoon, I sighed in my heart that it is no wonder that even old-fashioned people like Anderson and Cromwell, who rarely come here a few times, were conquered by him. Norris usually lives in New York with Greg Anderson, and she will only come back with Greg around some festivals. It is really a pity, otherwise, she can find opportunities to catch up a few times.

Adam and Carol finished eating half a piece each. Without waiting for Cromwell's call, they went directly to Carol's room for a visit at Carol's suggestion.

Carol's room is on the second floor. There is nothing unusual about the decoration, and it is tidy and clean with the help of a maid.And maybe because he likes the minimalist style, the room is very simple and the color tone is cooler, so it looks relatively empty.

But what is interesting is that there are several basket nets in the corner of the room, and several footballs are scattered on the ground near the nets, which matches his identity as the captain of the football team.

What surprised him the most was that he actually saw the long-lost computer at Carol's home!

Although in the 90s, computers seemed clunky and had little aesthetic appeal.But in an instant, Adam, who had stayed away from the Internet since his rebirth, remembered the chic and joyful life he had spent on the Internet before his rebirth.

"Carl, do you like computers?" Adam asked, pointing to the wiped clean computer next to the desk.

"Well, that's my favorite." Carol nodded with bright eyes when Adam mentioned it.

"Ha, it seems that we still have at least one or two hobbies in common." Adam grinned, walked up to touch the crude computer, and smiled happily.

At the beginning of the 90s, due to the immature development of hardware and software, not only the price was extremely unfriendly, but also the disk operating system dos developed by the blue giant ibm in the early 80s, blocked a big problem for people who used computers. threshold.

Therefore, although it is only a few years away from the era of the Internet in later generations, the number of people in North America who own computers is only a million.

However, Adam knew that in the next few years, with the rapid development of computer hardware, the price of personal computers will drop rapidly, coupled with the deliberate guidance of the U.S. government, people who own computers will also show a kind of outburst. type of growth.

Coupled with the fact that Microsoft, the Internet giant in the next few decades, launched windows95, a cross-age graphical interface in 95, and the blowout of a large number of Internet companies such as Netscape and Yahoo, it will create a brand new and extremely promising And Qian Jing's industry.

But for ordinary people like Adam, the emergence of the Internet, the most important thing is to bring great convenience and diversity in entertainment, which will make people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

If Adam has any real regrets about this rebirth, it is that it came more than ten years earlier than the Internet, and the more than ten years of waiting for the development of the Internet will inevitably be difficult for him, a former senior netizen. a torture.

Well, bring back the thought of running away.Knowing that Adam also likes computers, this made Carol, who couldn't find a bosom friend, very happy. He stood behind Adam, hugged him, bowed his head on the neck under his ears, and kissed him lightly.

Then, I turned on the computer very proudly, and skillfully tapped the keyboard, like a child, wanting to show the things I like to the visiting children.

Just looking at the densely packed characters on the screen, Adam shrank instantly - what he likes is a computer that has a graphical interface and can be easily operated. What the hell is this?

In the end, he belatedly remembered that the graphical interface was only launched by Microsoft in 95, and now all computers use the old antique - DOS interface.

For Adam, who had never professionally studied computers in his previous life, this was instantly confusing.

"Have you heard of the World Wide Web?" Adam, who was embarrassed for a while, was about to find a topic to turn the page.

"You also know the World Wide Web (the 3w we use now, web)? In my opinion, Mr. Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the World Wide Web, is a super genius, and his invention will change the entire Internet. No! In my opinion, he has changed the entire Internet, but this change still needs a little time to ferment." Carol said excitedly while opening the introduction about the World Wide Web that the other party put on the xt newsgroup a few months ago.

After listening to Carol's words, Adam took a deep breath in his heart.The concept of the World Wide Web has not been spread for a long time now, but Carol, a non-professional high school student, not only learned of its existence, but also made an accurate judgment on Adam, a latecomer, which is simply too difficult confidence.

It turns out that although there are a lot of muscular and simple-minded people like his brother Brett in this world, there are still a few Carol who are as muscular and brain-developed!If it wasn't for him having a golden finger that was even more buggy than the other party - rebirth.He was about to envy and hate Carol.

"I agree with you. Although the World Wide Web is not yet fully open to the public, if one day they open it to the public for free, then today's gopher-like software will definitely lose the market in an instant." Adam nodded and said, and He is very clear that in just one and a half years, the World Wide Web will be completely free and open, and if gopher still insists on charging at that time, it will only be doomed to be relegated to the dust of history.

"That may not be true. Who can say for sure what happens on the Internet? Although I really hope that what you said can come true, because that would be really great!" Carol shrugged and said with a light smile.

"At that time, we will invent a browser that can display pictures and is easy to use, so that ordinary people like me will be able to surf the Internet much more conveniently." Adam imagined the Netscape browser that will appear in the next few years, and added said.

"Browser?" Carol asked a little confused.

"Ah, it's a software that displays files in the web server or file system and allows users to interact with these files." Adam almost slapped himself on the head, although various browsers have appeared in the past two years, But it seems that the word browser (browser) has not been widely spread: "I think that if a browser with a convenient and easy-to-use graphical interface can be written, then the threshold for using a computer can be greatly reduced."

Carol was stunned after listening to Adam's words, then lowered her head and frowned, thinking about it. It took a while for Carol to wake up from the meditation.Seeing Adam sitting next to him, holding a rugby ball against his chin in a daze, he suddenly laughed, holding his face and gnawing hard.

Carol's action made the dazed Adam's eyes widen in fright, and he leaned back, trying to avoid the sudden attack, while grabbing the football in his hand, about to throw it He moved until he noticed that it was Carol, and then retracted the thorns that exploded all over his body.

"Hey, we're still open, don't let other people see it." Adam squinted around, reminding Carol who was gnawing on his face seriously.

Seeing the nervousness of the other party, Carol became even more excited. He grabbed Adam's nose with one mouthful, and then bit it lightly, which immediately made Adam snort in pain, and retracted his eyes that were looking around.

In the end, he knew that he couldn't stop him, and he didn't want to stop his intimacy, so he raised his head and kissed Carol's lips helplessly.

'Boom, boom, boom. 'Just as Adam and Carol were sleeping on the bed for an unknown amount of time, they suddenly heard a crisp knock on the door.

All I could hear was that the other party was very proficient and accurately repeated the knocking action again and again.Adam half-closed his eyes, staring at the marks made by footballs on the ceiling, his mind was idling, and he didn't realize what happened at all.

Carol jumped up in an instant. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall and cursed secretly: "Damn it, it's 06:30 in the afternoon!" '

"Master Carol, dinner is ready, please go to the dining room with Master Adam." The voice of an elderly woman came from outside the door, it was Dolores.

"I see, you go down first, Adam and I will come later." Carol tried to calm down and said to the door.

Carol breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of footsteps going away. He turned his head to look at Adam, who was leaning on the bed, who was still half asleep, and kissed his lips helplessly. Said: "Adam, it's time to get up, it's time for dinner."

"Well, I see. Why don't you go take a shower first and let me sleep for a while." Adam let the other party ravage his lips, but lazily opened one eye and looked at Carol's ambiguous words. Said.

"It's too late, let's go together." Carol picked him up, got off the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

"Hey!" Adam woke up with a fright at this sudden movement. After all, he is also a man in his early 1.8 meters. It would be too shameful for him to be carried away by the other princess.

But helplessly, he was suppressed by Carol and sent directly to the bathroom.I have to say that as a genuine otaku, after all, he can't match the biceps of the opponent who is often exercised, so he can only obediently let it go.

When it was almost seven o'clock, the two walked downstairs in a fog and entered the restaurant.Old Anderson and Cromwell were already seated, just waiting for their arrival.

Suddenly Adam and Carol felt a little uncomfortable, and Carol coughed dryly under the scorching eyes of the other party and said, "Sorry, it happened that Adam was playing ball in the room for a while, and he was covered in sweat, so he took a shower. just come down."

"Pay attention to the time next time. Dolores, let's have dinner." For Carol's explanation full of loopholes, the old Anderson actually didn't take it seriously, but skipped it directly.

After Adam sat down with some anxiety, he carefully looked at old Anderson and Cromwell, trying to see something from their facial expressions.However, the mask-like expression of old Anderson, who was a lawyer and stiff, did not give him any information at all.As for Cromwell, Adam could tell from his face that he was hesitant to speak.

This made him feel a little bit stunned, thinking to himself, 'Could it be that "Jurassic Park" didn't arouse his interest? ', when you think about it carefully, it is actually not impossible. If the other party is not interested in this subject, it is possible to be disliked by the other party.But when we met before, the other party did not show dissatisfaction with this subject, and judging from his attitude of liking the Tyrannosaurus rex model, the other party should like this subject.

Two completely different thoughts collided in Adam's head, which made him a little absent-minded, so that although the dinner was very rich and delicious, it was still tasteless and tasteless.

After finally getting through the dinner, Cromwell finally spoke up: "Mr. Adam Baker, I have read your "Jurassic Park" and I like it very much. If you intend to let us Harper Collins publish it, We can talk about it."

As soon as Cromwell opened his mouth, he hit the point straight, and this is what Adam most wanted. Naturally, he agreed without a doubt: "Of course, of course. I am very honored to be able to publish my "" by Harper Collins. Jurassic Park!"

Since both parties are interested, the follow-up talks will naturally go smoothly.Cromwell gave Adam 15% royalties directly on behalf of Harper Collins, which is definitely the highest royalty share for a newcomer.

We must know that after a book is released and sold through bookstores, only about 30% of the sales can be distributed to the publisher in the end, and Adam is given a 15% royalty, which means that the net profit returned from the bookstore, he and the publisher Half and half.This is definitely an unprecedented sincerity for a publisher who has always occupied a strong position.

Although, Adam knows that a large part of this sincerity is due to Carol. If the final sales data is as brilliant as in the previous life, then this favor is really owed. It seems that apart from a physical promise, Adam is I can't afford it.

Now that the agreement has been roughly settled and there are not many conflicts of interest, the contract can be drawn up and signed soon, so it is good to agree to sign the contract before Halloween two days later.

Adam appointed old Anderson as his novel agent. To be honest, this is taking advantage of Carol again. After all, top lawyers like Greg Anderson who have their own law firms generally do not Take this kind of 'small business'.

The so-called novel agent is to represent the author to deal with the copyright authorization and promotion of the novel, and then get [-]% of the profits from it.

It seemed like a good deal, and it might even make Anderson Sr. rich.But you must know that this is Adam's perspective from the perspective of future generations, and whether a novel can please the market often depends on its character and means.

Just like Harry Potter, if it weren’t for being regarded as having the potential to be a big hit, signing a brokerage contract, and getting it to be promoted and advertised in the United States, it might still be successful in the end, but can it form a phenomenon like the latter? , World-class, it's hard to say.

What's more, Adam is poor and white now, let alone what it will do in the legal profession. Instead of finding a lawyer who is not sure of his ability and character, it is better to trust Carol and old Anderson
