Chapter 45: Lockhart Book Fair

"No, this is my new book, she will book the sales rankings! The ceremony cannot be so simple... This is really too hasty."

When Lockhart thought that tomorrow's signature book sales could only be put on a banner and even the distribution of flyers would be limited. This was really depressed. This was too far from the signature book sales scene he had seen in the Muggle World!

Of course, this is actually caused by Lockhart himself in the Muggle World. The cost of this event should be the responsibility of the distribution company. Lockhart proposed an idea with the manager of Lihen Bookstore, but deliberately vaguely distributes the cost, which led to Amos Anqiro becoming the manager of the scattered shop.

Although he deliberately arranged the time for signature books to sell books two days before school starts, when students bought books the most; and the location was set at Lihen Bookstore, and the textbooks were designated to buy books; Lockhart even used his power to make all his novels the Hogwarts textbook this year!

Although these methods can ensure the sales of new books, don’t think about the influence of signature book sales, but he is thinking about the whole big news, big news!

"Sorry, Lockhart, I feel very simple, but there is only so much money. You have to know that even if you have 100 more Gallons, I can invite Harry Potter to help you... Unfortunately, it's useless to say these now." Lu Yuan sighed pretending.

"Wait...you say Harry Potter?...Is the Harry Potter I know? That boy who survived the disaster? That savior Harry Potter?" Lockhart looked at Lu Yuan in surprise, he was a little suspicious of his ears.

"It's him, the boy with a lightning scar on his head, we are acquaintances. Unfortunately, I don't have money..." Lu Yuan also took out a photo from his wallet as proof. It was a selfie of him and Harry sleeping on the same bed. Harry's lightning scar is in the middle of the photo, which is extremely conspicuous... When Harry was in a coma, only God knew what he did!

"Great! Lu, you were wrong, we have money!" Lockhart grabbed Lu Yuan's shoulder with golden eyes, "I'll pay 100 Jin Jialong, as long as you can invite the boy who survives the disaster! At least three versions, we can be at least three versions!"

"...Okay, since you expect so much, I promise Harry will definitely be there to help that day! Remember to give him a complete set of your signatures!" Old Lu said shamelessly, according to the plot, Harry would definitely go to Lihen Bookstore to buy textbooks that day, and now he is shameless and takes the credit to himself.

"Ahhh! There is also a photographer, I have to hire a good photographer! I hope he can take photos of Harry and me more energetic, that's what I have to put on the headlines!"

"Lordhart, do you have another name called Wang Feng? Forget it, when I didn't say it. If you care so much, why not just advertise in the Prophet Daily? No one in the magic world has ever done this. Lordhart, with your appeal, the entire Diagon Alley will be filled with your book fans tomorrow! At that time, all newspapers will make headlines for the great Lordhart!"

Lu Yuan said Lockhart's face was flushed and his breathing was rapid. "Great advice!"

"I guess it's almost the same as taking out 100 Gallons. I have an acquaintance at the Prophet Daily, which can be discounted." It doesn't matter whether there are any acquaintances. Lu Yuan is not worried that Lockhart will not make the headlines. Compared to the ones he has to tossed behind, it's completely an accessory for the headlines of 100 Gallons. It's completely useless to make money.

"Please, just do that!" Lockhart quickly took out the checkbook and signed two checks. As a best-selling writer, he is not short of money!

"Oh my God, Lu, the first time I discovered that you are such a business-minded person! Do you have any other good ideas? I can't wait to hear your wonderful ideas!" Lockhart was completely fascinated by his fantasy about tomorrow, and stepped into the trap Lu Yuan had already drawn.

"...You will regret saying this." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

He was the one who tempted Lockhart to get into the trap step by step, but when things happened, Lu Yuan had to put up a "warning sign" next to the trap that would definitely be ignored. Lu Yuan's fun was so bad!

****

"Move! Move! Think about your book fans, Lockhart! You must not let them down!" Lu Yuan turned into a demon sergeant and shouted in Lockhart's ear, waking him from his drowsiness. "Stick for another three hours, you can do it! Compared with the honors you will receive, all this is not worth mentioning!"

"Oh my God," Lockhart, who was woken up, quickly wiped his saliva, picked up the quill again, and mechanized the signing action on the opening page of the new book. "How many have I signed?"

"Three hundred books."

"But I feel like I have signed thousands of copies... my hands are not mine anymore! Please, let me sleep for a while." Lockhart complained in a dizzy mood.

"Okay... Lockhart. I know you need a little motivation." Lu Yuan magically took out the latest issue of "Prophet Daily" and opened the first page of the newspaper, put it in front of Lockhart.

Seeing the photo of himself in the center of the first edition, which was blinking and occupying half of the format, Lockhart jumped up in fear! He pointed to the photo, and opened his mouth in surprise but couldn't speak! He saw a line of big words running across the photos for twenty years, and Lockhart signed a book to repay book fans! "My Magic" is grand all over the world, and Girod is waiting for you at Lihen Bookstore!

"This...is the headlines?"

"How do you feel?" Lu Yuan's voice was like a whisper of a demon in his ear.

“It’s simply unparalleled!”

"This is just the beginning. I used a little bit of a trick to buy their headline ads. Lockhart, think about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If we occupy the headlines for three consecutive days, what would you guess?"

"Huh! Huh!" Lohat couldn't say a word, only breathing! He suddenly ran to the wall, picked up a pile of books taller than him, and then sat down without saying a word, and began to continue signing autographs frantically!

Seeing Lockhart being motivated again, Lu Yuan smiled and pushed up the cart full of autograph books again and left the small room where Lockhart worked. He pushed the cart through a narrow corridor, pushed open the wooden door at the end of the corridor, and entered a larger room.

This room is more than ten times larger than the one just now, so Lu Yuan simply used the warehouse of Lihen Bookstore. Now, not only are there ten tables in this big room, but there are also more than forty low fairies.

The goblin is a magical creature in the Harry Potter world. It has a low figure, pointed ears, a huge nose (many people say that the goblin refers to Jews) and sharp teeth and nails. The goblin loves money, and the Gringott is the bank run by the goblin. In addition, the goblin is good at making well-made magical items, such as the Gryffindor sword, which seems to be forged by the goblin.

Goblins are usually very rich, but the leprechauns are also well-known in class.

Lu Yuan’s advice to Lockhart was, “Why not let 40 millionaires do chores to one millionaire?”

The total economic output on the magic side is limited, and of course it is impossible for a wealthy person with tens of millions of gold Gallons to appear. That's it. Lu Yuan proposed that hiring ordinary squids as propaganda is too much to do; why not hire 40 geeks from the Guling Pavilion to do chores? The legendary geeks working in the Guling Pavilion, although they look ugly, are all monuments! This is the origin of the saying "40 millionaires do chores for 1 millionaires"

For Lockhart, who is narcissistic, is there anyone more capable of pretending than this?! He approved Lu Yuan’s 1,000 Jin Jialong’s fund without hesitation, and was still worried that it would not be enough!

However, in fact, the gap between the rich and the poor in the goblin society is beyond imagination, and the degree of stinginess is beyond imagination. Who would have thought that the richest man on the whole magic side would sit behind the counter all day long to do some Xike business for people? That goblin is the big boss behind the entire Guling Pavilion! Lu Yuan found him and paid only 40 Jin Jialong's price, and hired 40 goblins from him to "serve him for a whole day" time...

"Papa~" Lu Yuan patted and attracted the geeks to him. At least forty geeks in the room raised their heads, and countless hatred eyes focused on him.

"Hi~ guys, I know you hate me. I know you are tired and hungry, and full of resentment for voluntary labor! But what I want to say is, Hi guys, you are wrong! At the beginning, I really wanted to say to you, I'm sorry. But to borrow a leprechaun' from the leprechaun's words, 'I don't need any apology unless it can be discounted'!" A leprechaun suddenly burst into laughter.

These fairies are all employees of the Guling Pavilion, and they love money more than ordinary fairies. Therefore, Lu Yuan's words mean that they were in their hearts.

"Then, let's discount the apology!" Lu Yuan reported a large stack of new books from the car and placed them hard on the table! On the cover of the book, rows of photos of Lohat posing in a pose, making people dizzy. "If 10 Wests are not enough, then 100! If 100 Garons can't buy your favor, then 200!"

With a "boom", the fairies all jumped off the chair with their eyes lit up, and then they all lowered one after another.

"I promise that all my income will be yours!" Lu Yuan stepped onto the table and shouted loudly, "But the prerequisite is that you have to know how to forge fonts and documents."

The fairies looked at each other, as if they were indescribable. But a few seconds later, the golden golden glow finally took the lead. A fairy stood up and said loudly, "How could it not be? We are the fairies of the Guling Pavilion!"

The black history contained in this sentence is simply too rich.

"What are you waiting for?" Lu Yuan spread his hands, "This is a book signed by Lockhart, with a total of 1,120 sets. But this is not enough, far from enough. If each set is increased by 5 yuan, you can only earn 5,600 yuan! Half of it is given to Lockhart, and half of the remaining half is given to the store manager, how much can I have left?

Now move! I need you to use exquisite forged technology to sign more books, remember to add some blessings, and then tomorrow we will sell more books! Make more profits! I promise that the profits obtained from sales will be 30% of the dividends to everyone!"

He looked around the goblins present, and from their eyes, there was no more anger or hatred, only golden light was left!

"What are you waiting for? Let's do it!" Lu Yuan jumped onto the table, twisted his butt and incited frantically, "Make enough to earn 100,000 yuan in Gallon, life will be easier from now on!"

"Earn enough to earn 100,000 yuan in Garron, life will be easier from now on!!!" the fairies shouted wildly.
Chapter completed!
