"Then I won't disturb your work. ”

Luo Cheng saw that his sister had a good chat with Huo Yaowen, and said with a smile: "Mr. Huo, I'll go first, there are still many things I need to deal with in the lawyer's office." ”

Huo Yaowen stepped forward to shake hands with him and said, "This time, I'm troublesome to you again, Lawyer Luo." ”

"Mr. Huo is polite, this is all as it should be. ”

Luo Cheng shook his hand, said a few words to Luo Qiaozhen, and then turned to leave.

Huo Yaowen watched Luo Cheng leave, turned his head sideways at Luo Qiaozhen and said, "Since Miss Luo knows a lot about the operation of the foundation, then I will arrange an office for you here, so that you don't often come over and don't have an office place." ”

Luo Qiaozhen didn't refuse: "Okay." ”

The office space rented by the foundation is less than 200 square meters, about only more than 170 square meters, and there are two independent offices in total, one for Zhang Chengyi and the other for Huo Yaowen, the president.

Huo Yaowen himself didn't come often, so he gave the office to Luo Qiaozhen, personally led Luo Qiaozhen to the president's office, opened the door, and it was very clean, although it was only about fifteen square meters, but there was no shortage of office equipment such as desks and bookshelves.

Huo Yaowen said: "Miss Luo's foundation was created, so the office is relatively simple, this is originally my office, but I don't usually stay in the foundation, and I don't have much time, so this is the office for you." ”

Luo Qiaozhen smiled slightly: "Mr. Huo is polite, the environment here is very good, I like it very much." ”

"That's good. In this way, Miss Luo, I will take you to get to know the staff here first, and I will have someone send the files and materials prepared by the Foundation later. ”

"Okay. ”

......

After Huo Yaowen introduced Luo Qiaozhen to the people of the foundation, he stayed for half an hour and hurriedly went to the publishing company.

In the editor-in-chief's office, Huo Yaowen handed the literary world in his hand to Yao Wenjie and said: "Zhang Wanjun's new book has been serialized in the literary world, and the promotion and distribution of "Autumn Fairy Tale" will be started next week. ”

Yao Wenjie took the magazine, briefly flipped through it, and nodded in response: "Chairman, we have already communicated with the editor-in-chief of many newspapers in accordance with your instructions. ”

Huo Yaowen hummed lightly and asked again, "Have any new writers submitted recently?"

Yao Wenjie said: "After the news of our call for papers was sent, many people submitted, and last time the chairman helped introduce the editor-in-chief Li of Oriental Daily, I also communicated with him, and editor-in-chief Li promised to help us discuss with those writers who were serialized in Oriental Daily and hand over the publishing rights to us." ”

Don't look at Huo Yaowen's books selling very well, but the publishing company does not mean that it must publish those bestsellers, some books that can make money, even if the profits are small, can be published, on the one hand, it is to fill the company's book library, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as improving the popularity of the publishing company.

There are more than 100 large and small publishing companies, publishing houses, and even independent printing houses or newspaper departments in Hong Kong.

These companies and departments capable of publishing books provide at least 5,000 different books to the Hong Kong book market every year, and of these 5,000 books, they account for seven-tenths, and only three-tenths are books on academic and educational topics.

It is very rare to have 5,000 different books a year, and it is very rare to make a profit in Hong Kong at present, after all, the basic education in Hong Kong is not perfect at this time, many people are blind, and less than half of the four million people can read and write.

There are even fewer people willing to spend money on books, so most of the published books are sold to Taiwan or Macau, and some companies will sell books to the South Seas (Southeast Asia) if they can.

Because there are also many Chinese in Nanyang, more than a dozen countries are added together, and the Chinese community has at least 10 million or 20 million people.

Although many Chinese are from the north and south of the motherland, and do not necessarily speak Cantonese, the Chinese characters are the same.

At present, Huo Yaowen's company does not have the ability to reach out to Nanyang, not even Macau, but it has cooperated with Aoki Publishing House in Taiwan, which can be regarded as a channel with a large market.

The two chatted about the company's future development and the expansion of book sales channels, but this is not something that can be solved in a day or two, so they just talked about it.

Yao Wenjie said: "Chairman, what did you think about the company's establishment of a weekly magazine last time?"

Huo Yaowen pondered: "I also considered this matter after I went back, and I think it is feasible. However, there are more than 100 magazines and newspapers in Hong Kong, large and small, and if we want to do it, then we must be innovative. We need to confirm the positioning of our magazine, and at the same time accurately capture the group that wants to buy our magazine, and don't blindly start it. ”

"Incisive!"

Yao Wenjie's eyes lit up, and he nodded and agreed with Huo Yaowen's words: "Chairman, what you said is very right, that's what I think, we must do a good job in positioning the magazine and choosing the group to buy." ”

Huo Yaowen smiled: "So these things need to be done by Editor-in-Chief Yao, I agree to run a weekly magazine, if you need someone, you can recruit it, the company's current funds are quite good, but the specific implementation depends on you." ”

"Don't worry, chairman, I will personally be responsible for this matter. ”

Yao Wenjie confidently agreed, this matter of founding a weekly magazine is the first choice he has made since joining Yaowen Book Publishing Company, and it must be successful no matter what.

......

The next morning, in the classroom of the University of Hong Kong.

"Jingle Bell ......"

With a bell ringing.

After Huo Yaowen said the final content, he shouted "class", put away the textbooks on the table, and turned around and walked out of class.

As soon as I returned to the teacher's office and put down my textbook, Anna came to the door.

At this time, there were only Huo Yaowen and Anna in the office, and the rest of the teachers went to the cafeteria for lunch.

Anna walked into the office, looked at Huo Yaowen who was cleaning up at the desk, saw him holding a big red box in his hand, and said with a smile: "What are you holding in your hand?"

"Huh?"

Someone suddenly spoke, which scared Huo Yaowen, but after seeing that it was Anna, he smiled: "This is a gift to my grandmother, who celebrates her sixty-second birthday today." ”

Anna covered her mouth and said with a hint of surprise, "Does your grandmother also celebrate her birthday today?"

Huo Yaowen sorted out some textbooks on the table, put the pen and ink on the table into the drawer, and then looked up and said, "Yes, I will go home to celebrate my grandmother's birthday later." ”

Anna blessed, "Say hello to your grandmother for me and wish her a happy birthday." ”

Huo Yaowen said gratefully: "Thank you, I will convey your words to my grandmother, I think she will be very happy." ”

After saying that, he glanced at Anna and asked, "By the way, why did you have time to come?

"Uh-huh. ”

Anna snorted and nodded: "I came to ask you to eat the fish you invited me to eat with Lilith last time, but you have something to do today, so forget it, let's go next time." ”

"Why do you want to eat fish so much?" Huo Yaowen was a little curious, he remembered that the last time he took Anna and Lilith to Taibai Seafood Restaurant, she didn't seem to like the taste of eating anywhere.

Also, there is no improved Chinese food, and some ordinary dishes are really unaccustomed to foreigners.

Anna hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "Today is also my birthday." ”

Huo Yaowen was stunned, paused for a few seconds, and immediately said, "I'm sorry Anna, I didn't know that today was your birthday, but I think... It's not too late to wish you a happy birthday, right?"

"Of course it's not too late, thank you Evan, it's the first happy birthday I've heard today. ”

Anna bowed her head slightly, smiled at the corners of her mouth, smiled very happily, those blue eyes, with her beautiful long black curly hair, the sun shone in outside the house, showing the beauty of her delicate face to the fullest.

It's not that Huo Yaowen hasn't seen beautiful women, there are many beauties on the Internet in later generations, and there are many beauties with all kinds of beauties, but this is the first time in his life that he has been at a quiet distance, and he sees a woman who looks so beautiful and can be described as exquisite, or a foreign girl, which undoubtedly makes him a little excited, and his heart beats a few times faster than usual in this second.

"Am I the first? As he spoke, Huo Yaowen's eyes were a little evasive, and his right hand subconsciously supported the frame without a degree, with an unprecedented trace of nervousness in his heart.

When Huo Yaowen saw Anna for the first time, he had the mentality of looking at a beautiful woman, and his future contact with her was also as a colleague or friend, but at that moment just now, the moment the sun shone on Anna's face and showed her exquisite face, the word heartbeat was the most suitable for Huo Yaowen at this time.

Anna didn't notice Huo Yaowen's small movements, nor did she read minds, so she couldn't see through Huo Yaowen's thoughts, but said in a lost tone: "Yes, you are the first today, Professor Luke doesn't know my birthday, and I think you are the only one in Hong Kong who knows." ”

Anna didn't know many people in Hong Kong, and even fewer friends, except for Professor Luke and Fok Yiuwen, most of the others were just colleagues.

Although there are many single male teachers in the school who want to chase Anna, except for those ghost teachers, most of the Chinese teachers are embarrassed or afraid to act.

The only person who said that he had a good relationship was probably the one who came to the University of Hong Kong with Anna last year.

However, after returning to the UK at the beginning of this year, Ellaimochen did not come back, probably because he was not used to the environment in Hong Kong, so Oxford University sent two young male teachers again.

Hearing the loss in the other party's words, Huo Yaowen looked at Anna who lowered her head slightly, at this time the hair on her forehead covered the small half of her face, and the sun was shining obliquely at this time, making Anna look a little lonely.

Huo Yaowen paused, pondered for a moment and said, "Otherwise, Anna, you wait for me at night, and I will accompany you to eat fish again." ”

"Really?" Anna jerked her head up, her eyes filled with joy.

Huo Yaowen nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, we made an appointment." ”
