Kowloon Chaoxing Restaurant.

Sanmao picked up his wine glass and toasted with Huo Yaowen very boldly: "Awen, thank you and Brother Xiong for taking care of you and Brother Xiong over the past year, I toast you." ”

Huo Yaowen raised his glass with a smile and said, "Sister Ping, you are too polite. ”

"Haha, Yaowen is right, Ah Ping, you are too polite. Gu Long followed and drank the wine in his glass.

Sanmao drank it dry in one gulp, frowned and wiped the corners of his mouth, then smiled and said, "I'm not polite, I'm just looking for a reason to persuade you to drink." ”

Hearing this, Gu Long immediately laughed, pointed at Sanmao and said, "You now have my ability to persuade wine." ”

Sanmao pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah, there are already three points, I thought that you only had two points of skill, Brother Xiong!"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them laughed in unison.

After eating and drinking and chatting for a while, Gu Long pondered for a moment and asked, "Ah Ping, are you going to return to Taiwan when you resign this time?"

Sanmao shook his head sadly and said, "Not necessarily, it may be to go out for a trip to relax." ”

In November last year, Sanmao's fiancΓ© died, and she returned to Taiwan for funeral, and did not return to Hong Kong until the Chinese New Year, and resigned from her position as a philosophy teacher at HKU by the way.

"Travel, where to go?"

Where to travel?

Hearing this question, Sanmao inexplicably remembered a geographical magazine she had read some time ago, which described the terroir of the world's largest desert, the Sahara Desert, which made her yearn for it and blurted out: "Sahara Desert." ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen was stunned, the story of the Sahara?

"The Sahara Desert?!" Gu Long's eyes widened, surprised: "You go to the Sahara Desert alone, where is the largest desert in the world, how dangerous." ”

Sanmao heard Gu Long's concern, his heart warmed, and he smiled and said: "I don't go deep into the desert, and besides, the desert is also inhabited." ”

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone. "Gu Long knew that Sanmao was a person who dared to think and do, and since he said that he would go to the Sahara Desert, there was a chance that he would go.

"Look, I don't have to go to the Sahara first, and ......"

Speaking of this, Sanmao paused for a few seconds and smiled bitterly: "I have decided to go to Spain first." ”

According to the original, although Huo Yaowen didn't know much about Sanmao's next experience, he also understood a little bit when he first watched "The Story of the Sahara". If there is no accident in this trip to Spain, I will meet Sanmao's former lover Jose, and the two will rekindle their old love and go to the Sahara Desert to settle together.

During his time living in the Sahara Desert, Sanmao wrote many excellent works that were widely circulated, and "The Story of the Sahara" was just one of them.

It's just that a lot of the time it's impermanent......

"The world is so big, it's time to see it. ”

Seeing that Sanmao seemed to have made up his mind, Huo Yaowen showed a little pity without a trace.

Hearing this, Sanmao's eyes lit up, and he smiled happily: "Awen is right, the world is so big, I should go and see it, it's not good to be a person once, and I will nest at the bottom of this well for the rest of my life, and be a frog at the bottom of the well." ”

Gu Long gave a thumbs up: "I used to think I was free and easy enough, but now it seems that you still live a chic life, you can go wherever you want, and you are worthy of being a heroine among women." ”

"Haha, yes, I thought so too. Sanmao smiled, this smile was very bright.

Sanmao finally went to Spain and embarked on the original historical trajectory, but the difference this time was that she carried the 10,000 Hong Kong dollars advance paid by Huo Yaowen to her, so that she would not be like in history, and the poor couldn't even afford a plane ticket.

Originally, Sanmao didn't agree to take this money, but Huo Yaowen said that in the future, Sanmao wrote essays or articles in the process of traveling, and she could send them back to Hong Kong, which forced her to agree in the name of manuscript fees.

......

Time flickered, February passed quietly, and "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" has also been released, thanks to Gu Long's fame, this movie sold quite well, and the box office exceeded one million.

For the production expenses that cost only 150,000 yuan, excluding the share with the theater chain, Huanyu Film Company can earn at least 200,000 yuan, although it is not much, but it is also a good start, and the biggest benefit is not the boss Huo Yaowen, nor the director Chu Yuan, but Qingxia and Hu Yinmeng.

Lin Shiyin and Sun Xiaohong, played by the two, one is cold and the other is cute, and they are liked by many male audiences. Especially Hu Yinmeng, because of the previous "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store", many people regard her as a new generation of dream lovers.

After the martial arts movie "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" got off to a good start, Wen Yingguang signed contracts with Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng one after another after consulting Huo Yaowen, obtained the copyright, and prepared to start filming the two of them's works "Dragon Babu" and "Ping's Trace".

The first to shoot Liang Yusheng's "The Shadow of Ping", Chu Yuan is still the director, and the assistant director is Wu Yusen, who officially joined the company.

Huo Yaowen is still very concerned about John Woo, a well-known director in the future, and specially asked Wen Yingguang to tell him that as long as he behaves well, when "Ping's Shadow" is finished, he will be given 100,000 yuan to write and direct a movie.

Of course, he also made the same promise to the other two newcomer directors, and for a while, the three newcomers can be said to work as hard as they want, and they work until the latest every day before going home.

"Haven't you been too tired lately, I see you rub your head a lot. Anna leaned over to Huo Yaowen's side and asked curiously.

"It's a little bit, the company is very busy. ”

In the past month, Huo Yaowen has indeed been a little tired, not only to deal with the affairs of the film company, but also to check Yaowen Book Publishing Company. And "Harry Potter: 2" and "1999:3" in the United States and the United Kingdom have been published and listed one after another, although Huo Yaowen only needs to wait for the receipt of the manuscript fee, but he still has to send someone to keep an eye on it, after all, it is a money-making business, and it is always not safe to hand it over to others completely.

The second is Huang Junyu, who went to England, and with the help of Lidoff and Thames Publishing, he successfully bought a newspaper that was on the verge of collapse for 3.7 million pounds. The main reason for spending so much money is that the newspaper office has a large area of real estate in London, and the printing equipment of the newspaper office itself is only worth more than 100,000 pounds, and that property is the big one.

Later, after Huang Junyu sent a telegram to Huo Yaowen for instructions, he made a drastic move, changed the name of the newspaper to "London Financial Daily", and set up a separate "Financial Weekly", and spent a lot of money to hire many experts who are proficient in economics to divide the candidates for the drawn up rankings.

There are currently four categories in the financial rankings, namely "the world's top 100 richest people", "the world's top 100 enterprises", "the world's top 100 powers" and "the world's top 100 well-known people".

Because these four lists of the weekly magazine need a certain amount of time to collect information, for the time being, in addition to inviting experts and previous contributors to the newspaper to write some financial articles, the Financial Daily will publish "Currency War" written by Huo Yaowen.

Not to mention, after the publication of "Currency Wars" in the UK, although the controversy continued, the sales of the newspaper also increased every day. Maybe ordinary people in the world are the same, they all like to watch this kind of exaggerated and somewhat false "fantasy" story, right?

In particular, the various methods of sheep shearing by the rich people in the book make those low-level Britons deeply believe that the big families and organizations that control the world economy are real, after all, Europe is the starting point of capitalism, and there are not a few people who believe in conspiracy theories.
