"Yes, yes, yes! Give it to him! If he wants it, we'll give it to him for free, but we must keep this miracle drug in our hands. It's a miracle drug that every man in the world dreams of!"
If we could obtain the production process and patent for this miracle drug, it would be comparable to an inexhaustible gold mine!
"No, no, no! Wellington, that Eastern kid isn't that stupid. Do you think he doesn't know the value of this miracle drug patent? A few lousy car factories want to exchange for this miracle drug patent? I think we're just daydreaming."
However, I think that discussing exclusive cooperation and sales within the British Empire and its colonies would be just as good! And something he would definitely accept…”
"Right, right, right! Who cares about all that! As long as we can get enough medicine anytime, anywhere, that's all that matters..."
Undoubtedly, just as Lin Huowang and MacLehose had predicted, the little blue pills were incredibly effective against these old aristocratic men in the British Parliament.
These three old aristocrats of yesterday would not hesitate to sell Leyland Company when it comes to their own interests.
It can be said that the little blue pills were like an absolute pass, clearing away the upper-level obstacles for Lin Huowang to acquire the three major car brands in just one night.
...
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of The Times.
The roar of the printing press echoed all night long.
Editor-in-Chief Alistair Finch, the stern English gentleman, was smoking his pipe and personally watching the newspapers, still smelling of ink, being sent out.
These newspapers were not only sent throughout Britain, but also to other European countries, and people in most countries had the habit of reading The Times.
As the editor-in-chief, Finch's position in the newspaper was second only to the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief. He only needed to go to work and leave work at normal times every day, and he didn't need to take care of the printing plant at all.
But today is different...
Finch had an absolute premonition that this serialized magical story being printed today would be a significant chapter in the history of British journalism and British literature.
so……
He didn't sleep all night, wanting to witness this scene with his own eyes.
His deputy, however, said with some concern, "Editor... are you really going to do this? Remove the front page just for a... fairy tale? This has never happened before in The Times!"
"Shut up! This! This is the real news! This is the miracle that could double the sales of The Times!"
A genius from the East has written the greatest British story of this century!
I want all of Britain, no! The whole world! to see it!
Yesterday, Finch read the entire first volume of Harry Potter in one go. The realism of the magical world and the shock it brought him were unparalleled.
He was 100% certain that any child who read such a magical story would mistake it for reality and become completely absorbed in it.
Even adults, upon seeing this world woven from magical wonders, would be completely immersed in it, even forgetting the troubles of reality.
Such a great and magical work, Fincher believed, should of course be published in the most important pages and on the broadest stage to represent the importance and respect for it.
That morning.
The whole of London, and indeed the whole of Britain, and even Europe...
They were all shocked by the unprecedented front page of The Times.
Yes! Harry Potter's media debut was not in any supplement or literary publication, but in the main edition of The Times.
There is no politics, no economy.
The front page headline of The Times was a huge one—"Harry, you are a wizard."
Below is the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
In the most prominent position was editor-in-chief Fincher's almost manic and obsessive recommendation:
"I swear on my thirty years of editing experience and the century-old reputation of The Times: This is a miracle! A young man from the East, named 'Kobayashi Tenmoku,' has used the language we know best to construct a magical world more real than reality itself. From this day forward, forget his arrogant Hong Kong businessman identity, and remember him... as the Eastern wizard who conquered Britain!"
boom!
Public opinion was ignited in an instant!
"What? That Kobayashi Tenno? He... he wrote a novel? And it was published in the main edition of The Times?"
"Has The Times gone mad?! They're publishing a fairy tale on the front page?!"
"Harry Potter...that name...oh my god, this story...it's so good!"
Countless British people were initially drawn to this story with the intention of finding it a joke.
A man working in the City of London opened a newspaper on the Underground, intending to read the business section, but was so captivated by the Harry Potter story on the front page that he missed his stop.
A Birmingham mother read this story to her ten-year-old son, Tim, at breakfast.
Why does this little boy live in the cupboard under the stairs?
Tim, who never liked reading or listening to stories, suddenly had his eyes light up.
He usually hates reading the most; he would rather spend an afternoon kicking mud in the yard.
"Mom! Keep reading! What about that guy Hagrid?! Does he really have magic?!"
Tim grabbed his mother's hand excitedly and shouted.
