Ten o'clock in the morning.

After Huo Yaowen finished class, he took his briefcase and changed into clothes and went out of the school gate.

Yesterday I had an appointment with Director He, and today I went to a commercial radio station during the day.

When I arrived at Hong Kong Commercial Radio, it was already twelve o'clock at noon, and I didn't care about eating, so Huo Yaowen hurriedly went to the radio building.

As soon as she arrived at the commercial radio station, the little girl at the front desk led Huo Yaowen to the director's office.

After He Zuozhi saw Huo Yaowen walk in, he quickly stood up and greeted him with a sad face: "Huo Sheng, you are finally here." ”

Huo Yaowen frowned and asked, "Director He, what the hell is going on?"

"Sit down first. He Zuozhi beckoned.

After the two sat down, He Zuozhi said: "The morning before yesterday, the "Emperor Daily" published an article, I think Huo Sheng should also read it." ”

"Well, I looked. Huo Yaowen didn't just read it, he even read the previous issues of this "Emperor Daily", and found that this newspaper had been reporting news normally before, reporting some Hong Kong news, and he didn't know how to denounce his book.

"I don't know the specific situation, but I asked someone to ask, this "Emperor Daily" is obviously making a fuss about Huo Sheng's book, but it is actually dissatisfied with the decline in sales of its newspaper. ”

He Zuozhi has been a radio station for so many years, so he naturally knows many newspapers, so it is easy to inquire about this matter, he continued: "The Emperor's Daily has a "Emperor's Horse Classic" that specializes in publishing the content of the Horse Classic, and the "Oriental Daily" now publishes Huo Sheng's book, and the rest is mainly based on the Horse Classic and the Dog Classic, and the space reported on the news is very small. Originally, the sales of "Oriental Daily" were not very high, and it did not have much impact, but with the recent radio broadcast of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" radio drama, which drove the sales of the newspaper, the number of people who came to buy "The Emperor's Horse Sutra" became much less, and they all went to read "Oriental Daily". ”

When Huo Yaowen heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but then, his mind changed, but he was dissatisfied with the "Oriental Daily".

He Zuozhi looked at Huo Yaowen's calm face, as if he had not been affected in any way, and couldn't help pursing his lips and said, "I called Huo Sheng over this time to inform Huo Sheng of something. ”

Seeing the other party's hesitant look, Huo Yaowen said: "What's the matter, Director He, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The station decided to temporarily suspend the broadcast of the radio drama "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". ”

He Zuozhi said with regret: "Actually, the book written by Huo Sheng is really good, although the subject matter may be contrary to the ethical norms, but whether it is the content of the story or the character creation, it is definitely a good one." ”

Regarding He Zuozhi's words, Huo Yaowen actually had a little psychological preparation before, but when he heard that the broadcast was suspended, he was inevitably still a little uncomfortable.

Huo Yaowen lifted the frame that had slid down to the tip of his nose, and said in a deep voice: "I don't blame Guitai for this, it is true that I didn't think about it when I wrote the book, as for the losses caused to Guitai, Director He reported the number, and I will compensate as soon as possible." ”

Hearing Huo Yaowen's words, He Zuozhi smiled and said: "Huo Sheng is not to blame for this, where does the compensation come from? Moreover, in the past few days of continuous broadcasting, the listening rate of our commercial station has also increased a lot, so Huo Sheng does not need to compensate for any losses." ”

Huo Yaowen pondered for a few seconds and said: "Director He, I have been thinking about a book recently, and I have also started to write a little, if I can, I want to use this book to offset the cost before "Ghost Blows the Lamp". ”

He Zuozhi asked, "Oh, what kind of book?"

"Romance of the Dragon and Snake" Huo Yaowen opened the briefcase, took out the thousands of words he had written before, handed it to He Zuozhi, and said: "This is a preface I wrote, as well as part of the content. ”

He Zuozhi took the manuscript and watched it carefully.

Because there were only a few thousand words, He Zuozhi quickly finished reading it, and after reading it, he looked at Huo Yaowen in surprise and said, "Huo Sheng wants to write about the martial arts world of the Republic of China?"

Huo Yaowen nodded: "Yes, throughout the five thousand years of China, the Republic of China has produced many romantic figures, in addition to those well-known literati and warlords and politicians, there is also a group of little-known righteous people. Based on some martial arts masters recorded in the Republic of China, combined with my own original theory of new national arts, I wrote this book "Romance of the Dragon and Snake". ”

Only kill the enemy, do not perform, the martial arts of defending the family and the country are called national arts!

He Zuozhi looked down at the dialect again, and asked curiously, "There seems to be no difference between national art and martial arts?"

"Martial arts can also be called national arts, but in my book it is exaggerated, after all, it is a novel story, and it is inevitable that there are some things beyond common sense. As the saying goes, a feather can't be added, flies and insects can't fall, and beating people is like hanging a painting, which is the national art. ”

He Zuozhi pondered for a few seconds, thought about it, nodded and said, "Since Huo Sheng said so, then I won't shirk." ”

"That's as it should be. Huo Yaowen said: "I will write a part of the content to Director He as soon as possible, and if it is appropriate, I will replace "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". ”

"Good. ”

...

After coming out of the commercial radio station, Huo Yaowen was in a bad mood, on the one hand because of the book, and on the other hand, because of the "Oriental Daily".

It is reasonable to be reasonable, when the "Emperor Daily" was opened, the "Oriental Daily" should have known for a long time, but it was the third day, and he had not called to inform him, which made Huo Yaowen dissatisfied.

After walking out of the intersection and seeing a newsstand not far away, Huo Yaowen walked over quickly and bought a copy of the newspaper of "Oriental Daily" today.

When I opened it, I saw that the newspaper was still publishing the content of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", but this time it was not the same as before, with only 4,000 words, but almost half of the newspaper was printed.

Originally, I thought that "Oriental Daily" would stop publishing the content of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" under pressure, but I never thought that it would continue to be printed and "updated"!

Huo Yaowen shook his head, the thought of going to the "Oriental Newspaper" before was instantly gone, and he turned around and prepared to take the car back to school.

Anyway, the content of the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has been completely written and handed over to the people of "Oriental Daily", whether they publish it or not, the next second part may also end without a problem.

...

Ming Pao.

Shen Baoxin sat in Jin Yong's office, looking at the several newspapers in his hand denouncing "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", he couldn't help but chuckle and said to Jin Yong: "It seems that what you said before is right." ”

Jin Yong raised his head and said: "I said, if this book is written, someone will definitely criticize it, but I didn't expect it to be the head of the "Emperor Daily". ”

"It's not about newspaper sales. Shen Baoxin shook his head, this happened many years ago, when Ming Pao was first founded, many newspapers said that the books written by Jin Yong had no literary value at all except for entertainment and boredom, but after so many years, those people have long disappeared, but Ming Pao has lived longer and better.

"That Huo Xiaoyou's writing is really good, but it's a pity that this kind of theme is against ethics after all. ”

When Jin Yong first heard Shen Baoxin talk about this book, he had already guessed that he would be condemned sooner or later, so the day before yesterday, when he saw that someone in the newspaper was openly criticizing, he was already mentally prepared. And the books he wrote were also criticized as useless books in the early years, but now that so long has passed, there are still people who are willing to read them.

"It's still a pity. ”

Shen Baoxin likes the book "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" very much, and now I don't know if I can finish reading the ending.

"Don't talk about this, the University of Hong Kong is going to set up a law department recently, and you can send a few reporters over to interview it. ”

"I've already asked people to go for interviews. ”

...

Waited until I went back to school.

I went to the cafeteria early for a meal.

Huo Yaowen returned to the dormitory and began to write the outline of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake".

As soon as he wrote a few hundred words, Huo Yaowen directly threw down the pen in his hand and began to be dull.

He still underestimated the tolerance of this era too much, and was condemned for writing "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", so if he writes about national arts, it doesn't seem like a problem, but the competition in the book will inevitably be divided, if someone from that sect sees this content and says that he wrote the martial arts of their sect about rubbish, wouldn't it be another toss?

After thinking about it, Huo Yaowen rubbed his hair a little irritably, lay on the bed, blowing a slight cool breeze from the fan, and gradually became worried.

With the memory of the next 40 years, Huo Yaowen has many ways to make money, investing in the mainland in the 80s, investing in Lao Ma Xiaoma in the 90s, and investing in various Internet in 2000.

All of this can bring him a lot of wealth.

But these closest ones are more than ten years later, Huo Yaowen doesn't want to waste these ten years, just to wait for so many opportunities to return.

"Knock Knock"

Just as Huo Yaowen was pondering, there was a knock on the door.

"Side!" Huo Yaowen said a little angrily.

"Teacher Huo, it's me, someone called you. ”

Uncle Wang's voice came from outside the door.

Huo Yaowen heard someone call to find him, cleaned up his messy hair, turned to the door and opened the door, looked at Uncle Wang and asked, "Uncle Wang, look for me?"

"It seems to be someone from the Oriental Daily. Uncle Wang glanced at Huo Yaowen's face, and seeing that his face was fine, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Teacher Huo, I have read the content of "Emperor Daily", you don't have to pay too much attention to it. ”

"I know Uncle Wang. Huo Yaowen said with a smile.

"Okay. ”

Seeing that Huo Yaowen didn't want to talk more, Uncle Wang also took the lead in turning around and going downstairs.

Huo Yaowen closed the door and followed closely.

When he arrived at the administrator's room, Huo Yaowen took the phone that had not hung up and said, "Side?"

"Huo Sheng, it's me Liu Weidong. ”

"Liu Sheng is looking for me?"

"Does Huo Sheng know about the recent article in the Emperor's Daily?"

"I looked, and it was true that I didn't think it through. ”

"Huo Sheng is not to blame for this, who would have expected it?"

After speaking, Liu Weidong wanted to speak and stopped, then sighed and said: "Huo Sheng, I'll make a long story short, what Editor-in-Chief Li means is that after the first part of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is now published, the content of the future will be slowed down for a while, and we will wait to see the situation in the future before making a decision." ”

"Okay, it just so happens that I've been a little tired from writing lately, so it's good to take a break for a while. ”

"Huo Sheng rest assured, Editor-in-Chief Li told me that if Huo Sheng has a new article in the future, he must notify our newspaper as soon as possible, as long as the content is not bad, it will be according to the manuscript fee negotiated before. ”

"Good. ”

A few more hurried conversations.

After the other party hung up the phone and said goodbye to Uncle Wang, Huo Yaowen returned to the dormitory, sat back at the desk as soon as possible, picked up a pen and paper, and began to calculate all the money he had now.

Just now, Huo Yaowen's mind seemed to have an epiphany.

Since the "Oriental Daily", which is inferior to the third-rate tabloids now, will be able to achieve the first newspaper sales in Hong Kong in the future.

Fok Yiu-man thinks that he has memories of the next 50 years, and he can run a newspaper with him! I dare not say that he will be able to become the No. 1 newspaper in Hong Kong in the future, but at least it will definitely not be worse than the current "Oriental Daily".

"Amuna has 10,000 yuan, and she still has more than 7,000 manuscript fees from the last few settlements, plus the 5,000 yuan bonus given by "Literary World", a total of 23,000 yuan. ”

Twenty-three thousand yuan, this seems to be a lot of money, enough to buy half a new house, and an old house can also buy one, but if you run a newspaper, it will be a little less.

I don't know the price, but I'm afraid it will be a problem to buy a second-hand printing press.

"It's still too little money. ”

Huo Yaowen sighed, although there are many, many ways to make money in his mind, such as the simplest way to buy a house and buy land, these are all profitable businesses in the future, but without capital, the empty glove white wolf is still too whimsical.

"Evan!"

Just then, someone shouted outside the window.

Huo Yaowen opened the window and poked his head out to see that on the forest path, Anna was standing under a banyan tree and waving her hand, and asked suspiciously: "Anna, why are you here?"

Anna smiled and said, "I want to go to the city to buy something, but I think I need a translator, I can't think of anyone else but you." ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen nodded and said, "Okay, then you wait for me." ”

I turned around, looked in the mirror, and saw that there was nothing wrong, so I also went downstairs.

The two left the school gate, and the two chatted briefly while walking on the way to the bus stop.

Huo Yaowen asked casually: "Anna, you have been in Hong Kong for a week, how do you feel about Hong Kong?"

A bright smile appeared on the corner of Anna's mouth, and she said, "It's good, the scenery here is beautiful, the food is delicious, I think the principal is right, this is a food capital, there are too many delicious foods." ”

After a pause, Anna added, "But there are too few English-language newspapers here in Hong Kong. I have a habit of reading newspapers every day, but the content of English newspapers in Hong Kong is not what I like to read. ”

English newspapers!

This time, it seemed to hit Huo Yaowen's head.

At present, 99 percent of the newspapers in Hong Kong are Chinese newspapers, and although there are English newspapers, there are almost only two or three.

Although there are not many British people in Hong Kong, almost all of them are high-level businessmen or large groups, and there are many people in Hong Kong who know English, so running an English-language newspaper seems to be a good choice.

First of all, although the audience of English newspapers is not as good as that of Chinese newspapers, there are also a lot, even if one person buys all the English newspapers on the market, it is only three or four copies, and it is completely affordable.

The second, and most important, is that the competitiveness is small, with only three or four English-language newspapers, completely

And if it grows bigger in the future, it may be sold to Europe or other English-speaking countries.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good opportunity to start an English newspaper, Huo Yaowen pondered for a few seconds, clenched his fists, and decided to wait until he arrived in the city to see what English newspapers there are in Hong Kong.
