"This is a script, but it's not a script for a play, but for a magic movie. You'll know it later." Meg said with a smile, "Your job this month is to adapt this script into a readable hit."
"Hit?" Cynthia hesitated. "I've only written one hit book in my life. As for what it is, you should know."
Meg's expression stiffened. He did know. If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have known each other.
"Just follow the feeling of the book. The script has provided you with the framework and content of the story. You only need to add some details," Meg comforted her. "Don't be too stressed."
"Follow the feeling?" Cynthia thought carefully for a moment and lowered her head, blushing. She replied softly, "I got it."
Mag looked at Cynthia with a puzzled expression, and worriedly said, "In that case, you can submit a draft for me to take a look at in a week's time. I will control the content."
"Okay." Cynthia nodded.
Meg didn't stay long. After he left Cynthia's house, he went to the mayor's house.
Delmar's assets were being notarized these days, and the publishing house was the most difficult to deal with.
The small publishing house had a dozen staff members and didn't have any outstanding works. The most famous "Mr. Mak" series had been banned and wasn't very valuable. So far, few people were bidding for it.
Meg bought the company for 1.5 million copper coins.
After all, no matter how much money he paid, it would be returned to him in the end. He had just earned a company for nothing.
"Mr. Mak, you're really taking drastic measures. I don't think any company will dare to spread rumors about you for a long time." Dicus accompanied Meg through the handover procedures and said with a smile.
"Those who spread rumors have to pay the price." Meg smiled and cupped his hands at Dicus. "Thank you."
"It's not a big deal. Such an illegal businessman should indeed be punished. It's better to intimidate the rascals." Dicus shook his head with a smile.
"I heard that Cyril is not going to pay the penalty?" Meg asked.
"This morning, Madam Denise came in person and asked us to give them more time. She also wants to talk to Mr. Lev in person. It seems that she wants to reduce the price." Dicus shook his head with a smile. "But that Mr. Lev insisted on 30,000,000 copper coins, not a single cent less. It seems that he's determined to take a bite out of the Moreton Family's fat meat."
"This kind of guy won't remember until I teach him a lesson." Meg smiled and said goodbye to Dicus, before he went to Delmar Publishing.
There was still a seal on the door of Delmar Publishing House. When Meg stopped his bicycle, he saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the steps in front of the door.
Meg recognized this woman. She was the editor of Delmar Publishing House and was responsible for urging Cynthia to update.
The female editor heard the voice and looked up at Meg. She seemed to recognize Meg and lowered her head in embarrassment, pretending not to know him.
Rip!
Meg stepped forward and tore off the seal on the door.
"You … What are you doing?" The female editor couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and looked at Meg in surprise.
"I'm the owner of this publishing house now. Seeing you sitting here in frustration, are you an employee of this publishing house?" Meg looked at her with a smile.
"You're the owner of this publishing house?!" The female editor was completely stunned and looked at Meg in disbelief.
"Yes, the owner of the publishing house was involved in contract fraud and went bankrupt. The publishing house was auctioned in the City Lord's Mansion and I got it." Meg nodded and took out the ownership transfer certificate of the City Lord's Mansion and showed it to the female editor.
"How could this be …" The female editor was still dumbfounded.
The publishing house closed all of a sudden. The owner was suddenly arrested and the publishing house that was running well was shut down. All the employees were laid off.
She hadn't come back to her senses until today. She hadn't received her salary last month and hadn't found a new job. She just happened to be in this area and sat at the door for a while. She didn't expect to meet Mr. Mak.
"Are you an employee of this publishing house? What did you do before? "Meg asked again.
"I used to be an editor at this publishing house. I was responsible for accepting authors and proofreading books." The female editor quickly answered, "My name is Eleanor."
Meg looked at her and asked, "So you're an editor. Then do you know the author called Lone Wolf of the Northwest?"
Eleanor's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed. She looked away and said vaguely, "I … I've heard of this author, but I don't know her. I don't know what she looks like, where she lives or what she likes to eat."
"I see." Meg nodded and said regretfully, "I thought that the author was quite talented. If you know her, maybe you can help me get to know her and send me some razor blades or something."
Eleanor pretended not to hear him and prepared to leave. It was too awkward to meet Mr. Mak.
"Eleanor, I'm planning to reopen this publishing house. However, I'm not very professional and the publishing house is lacking manpower. Are you willing to join me?" Meg looked at Eleanor and said with a smile.
"Hmm?" Eleanor was stunned. She looked up at Meg and asked, "You mean, you want me to continue working at Delmar Publishing House?"
"No, it's a brand new Mamy Publishing House," Meg said with a smile.
Eleanor looked at Meg's gentle and kind smile, and her heart skipped a beat. She nodded almost without hesitation, and said, "I'm willing!"
"Very good. Show me around this publishing house first." Meg pushed open the door. "Introduce me to your former colleagues while you're at it."
"Alright." Eleanor quickly followed, and showed Meg around the publishing house.
The most valuable asset of the publishing house was this house, which accounted for about 90% of the auction price.
The publishing house had accumulated some works over the years, but they were all works that were not well-known. They were barely surviving, let alone becoming popular.
However, although it was small, it had all the essentials. This publishing house had all the staff, and was fully capable of planning and publishing a book.
After listening to Eleanor's relatively fair introduction of her former colleagues, Meg gave up on the idea of recruiting them back.
He had no plans to publish a large number of works at the moment. His first work was still in the process of being polished, and he didn't need anyone's help in typesetting and printing.
"From today onwards, you'll be the company's deputy editor. Your monthly salary will be 6,000 copper coins," Meg said to Eleanor.
