"Sweet Honey" has sold a total of about 70,000 copies in Hong Kong so far, and according to the calculation of six yuan for a copy, that is a full 420,000 yuan, but after throwing away the cost and the money of the newsstand owners of various bookstores, as well as excluding Huo Yaowen's manuscript fee, the final net profit is about 60,000 or 70,000.

It doesn't seem like a lot, but this is already a profitable deal for Deng McKee, plus there is still some cost to be recovered by Taiwan's Aoki Publishing House, it is estimated that the publication of the book "Sweet Honey" this time, the literary world will earn almost 100,000 yuan, which is already a high return, regardless of whether the book can be sold in the future, the printing copyright is still in the literary world, so they can continue to print and sell.

After the newspaper's finance sent the manuscript fee, Huo Yaowen didn't count it, just glanced at the settlement sheet, signed his name on it, took away his own manuscript fee sheet, and stuffed the envelope full of banknotes into his briefcase.

Deng McKee saw Huo Yaowen pack up, and asked with a smile on his face: "Does Mr. Huo have any new works that he wants to publish recently?" We will definitely give Mr. Huo the best price, and we will definitely not disappoint you." ”

"Not yet, but I've wanted to take a break lately. "Huo Yaowen didn't take the liberty of agreeing, or saying that he would write a book and hand it over to your publishing house in the future, he now has his own publishing house, and he must give priority to publishing it himself.

Deng McKee deliberately made a gesture of pity: "That's a pity, if Mr. Huo has an idea, you have to think about our literary world, after all, our cooperation is going well, isn't it?"

"There's always a chance. ”

"Okay, then I'll send you Mr. Huo. ”

Seeing that Huo Yaowen didn't want to talk about this matter more, Deng McKee nodded slightly and got up to send him off.

Under Deng McKee's enthusiastic send-off, Huo Yaowen walked out of the door of the newspaper office with a manuscript fee of 25,000 yuan, and after waving goodbye to Deng McKee, he directly stopped a taxi at the intersection and returned to the University of Hong Kong.

......

In a plain-looking study, Lei Luo flipped through the information that Uncle Chang had investigated in his hand, and after reading the last page, he glanced at Uncle Chang with a calm face: "This is all his information?"

Uncle Chang, who had been standing beside Lei Luo, nodded and said, "Yes, sir, except for the information in Zhongshan, Guangdong, where no one can be sent to investigate, most of the information in the twenty years since their family came to Hong Kong has been recorded on it. ”

"It's after the famous family. Lei Luo glanced at what was written on the paper again, and at the top of the family situation column, Huo Yaowen's name was on the first line.

Some time ago, Lei Luo learned from Uncle Chang that the little girl seemed to be a little uneasy recently, coupled with the panicked answer he heard when he called her name at the door a few days ago, Lei Luo roughly understood in his heart that his daughter had a sweetheart, but he never took the initiative to say it, but entrusted Uncle Chang to find someone to investigate Huo Yaowen's information.

It's no wonder that Lei Luo is so cautious, since he retired from the position of Inspector Zonghua, don't look at his nourishing life, every day is either playing golf with the first brother of the police station or going out to drink and socialize with a certain councilor, but there are many people who offended or have a grudge against Lei Luo in the early years, Lei Luo is actually not afraid of these people at all, no matter what means the other party uses on the surface, he can take it, but he is afraid that these guys will secretly use means.

Even if he has a wide range of contacts in the police and political circles, even if he has a huge influence in the underworld, this does not mean that Lei Luo is the same as when he was Inspector Zonghua before, and if he retires, he will retire, maybe those enemies will be afraid of the forces behind Lei Luo, but there are always some people who are not afraid of death, and they will hit his family with their means.

Therefore, when Lei Luo knew that his daughter might have someone he liked, the first thing he thought about was not whether his daughter had grown up, but whether someone would play some tricks behind his back. Although this kind of thing is not common, Lei Luo has seen many such methods in Hong Kong for more than 30 years, and even he was able to make a fortune because of the power of his wife's family to raise money to buy the position of chief inspector of the New Territories.

"Yes, I don't think this Huo Yaowen deliberately approached Miss, his sister Huo Tingting has been studying with Miss, and the two should have met just by coincidence. "Uncle Chang himself has seen Huo Yaowen with his own eyes, he is indeed a talent, and he has a little literary talent to write a book, it is normal for a girl like Miss to be liked by a girl in her cardamom years.

"Hmm. Lei Luo leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, groaned for a while, and then slowly opened his eyes and said, "You and I ask him out to meet, I want to make sure that he and Su Zhen are in the same situation." ”

Uncle Chang showed hesitation, thought about it and asked, "If Miss knows about this, will she be angry?"

"No, my daughter, I know what she thinks. Lei Luo waved his hand, glanced at the calendar next to him, and said, "On the first of next month, I just happened to rest that day, and Su Zhen was going to her grandmother's house." ”

"I know, sir. Uncle Chang saw that the old man said this, but he didn't say much, he wrote down this matter, thinking about meeting with that Huo Yaowen in the next few days to make an appointment about it.

Hong Kong Broadcasting Road Commercial Radio.

Since December last year, Ho Tsok-chi, together with Lo Man-wai and Tang Siu-kin, jointly invested 20 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a commercial building near the broadcast road, and moved the entire commercial radio station from Lai Chi Kok to the side of the broadcast road.

He Zuozhi stood in the office, opened the folding leaf curtains and glanced at the group of people who were carrying radio equipment under the opposite building, and couldn't help but break a few words: "A group of people who hit the street, we moved here, and the people who were fragrant and electric also followed, it was really a plague god who came to the door, bad luck!"

Luo Wenhui, who was sitting on the sofa, heard He Zuozhi's words, stood up and walked to his side, and also lifted the blinds to look at the new building of Radio Television Hong Kong opposite, and said in a deep voice: "This is the meaning of the Hong Kong Governor's Office, to move all the broadcasting agencies in Hong Kong to this radio channel, you also saw it when you came before, there is only one exit from this road, and there is a military camp to prevent riots on Worta Old Road, which is to avoid incidents like Binbin." ”

"I know, it's just that this is all together, and the management is good management, but the people in Xiangtai are so close to us, I'm afraid that something will go wrong in the future. ”

He Zuozhi shook his head, among the only two radio stations in Hong Kong now, Radio Hong Kong has the most listening rate, followed by their Hong Kong Commercial Television, but with the popularity of the radio drama "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" last year, the listening rate has gradually increased, and there are many fewer listeners with Radio Hong Kong.

Seeing that he was about to surpass the other party, the first radio drama of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was all broadcast, and the listening rate was overtaken by the other party all of a sudden, and now the people from Xiangtai moved directly to their own door, and He Zuozhi, who was already unhappy, was even more unhappy at this time.

Luo Wenhui knew that most of the recent radio listening was the adapted radio drama, and at this moment, seeing He Zuozhi's sad face, he opened his mouth and asked: "Didn't you talk about the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?

He Zuozhi had a bitter face: "I don't know if I wrote it or not, I called to urge it before, but it said that the school was on vacation, and Mr. Huo was not at school in the past few days, and I didn't have his phone number and could only wait." ”

The office door was suddenly opened, Luo Huizhen ran in quickly, and as soon as she shouted "Uncle Shi", she noticed that her father Luo Wenhui was actually there, and shouted again with an embarrassed face: "Daddy." ”

Luo Wenhui frowned, and just wanted to ask her why she didn't knock when she entered the house, but she glanced at He Zuozhi next to her, and she didn't want to scold her in front of people, staring at Luo Huizhen with a gloomy face.

Luo Huizhen was panicked at this moment, what she was most afraid of at home was her father Luo Wenhui, and now seeing that the other party's face was not good, she secretly said bad in her heart.

He Zuozhi saw that something was wrong with the father and daughter, and opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere: "What's wrong with Huizhen?

Luo Huizhen peeked at her father Luo Wenhui, and looked at He Zuozhi and said about work: "Uncle Shi, have you read Mr. Huo's new book recently? I feel that I can also make a radio drama, I heard that this book has sold nearly 300,000 copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it is most suitable to broadcast it in my program." ”

"New book, what new book?" He Zuozhi shook his head, how did he know what new book Huo Yaowen had written, he had been busy moving the new radio station building recently, and the people below were also responsible for calling to urge the draft.

"A romance book has sold hundreds of thousands of copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and I think if it is made into a radio drama and broadcast, the effect will be very good. ”

Luo Huizhen learned that this was a new book written by Huo Yaowen since she read "Sweet Honey", and at first she was surprised how he could write romance, but after reading it, she realized that what Mr. Huo was best at was probably not ghosts.
