Huo Yaowen thought that he was very rich, but after this time he wanted to invest in the Hung Hom Undersea Tunnel, he found that he didn't seem to have much money.

Although Anna said that she would help herself, she was afraid that she would not be able to do it without money, so in order to get together the funds as soon as possible, Huo Yaowen started to write books at home.

For this reason, many banquets and invitations were refused.

Of these two books, "Harry Potter" is the easiest to write, because most of the readers are children and teenagers, and the use of rare English vocabulary is also the least, so there is no need for Huo Yaowen to rummage through an Oxford dictionary. In addition to following the follow-up of the first part, many of the storylines in it are directly written as copyists.

It took less than a month to write the second "Harry Potter Secret Room" of more than 100,000 words

But "1999" is different, although this science fiction book has many classic science fiction works borrowed from later generations, most of them were condensed into essence by Huo Yaowen through his own ideas.

Because it is a science fiction text, many English words such as physics that tend to be professional have never been heard of by ordinary people, so it greatly deepens the difficulty of Huo Yao's writing.

The third "1999" will also be the end of this book, echoing the title of the book, "Our Journey is the Sea of Stars".

With the invasion of aliens and the outbreak of space wars, in order to adapt to the dark forest laws of the universe, the future of mankind will not be limited to the blue star of the earth, but the vast and boundless interstellar.

Maybe it's because it's the first time to write science fiction, Huo Yaowen's first part is very good, and the second part of the alien invasion is also very good, but the third part of the finale is full of ups and downs.

The outline set earlier actually had some collapse at the end of the second part, and he couldn't hold it back, so this is why after so long, he didn't start writing the third part.

But now, Huo Yaowen has some ideas, combined with the content of the second part and the slightly revised outline, and began to write without hurry.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than two months passed, and soon the Spring Festival of 1972 came.

During this period, in addition to writing books at home, Huo Yaowen occasionally went to companies and foundations, and by the way, he also went to the office floor of the new faculty union to hold a meeting and set up an internal council, so that the new directors could manage the gradually larger faculty union.

The number of members of the Council was initially set at 20 seats, but later 10 were added, 12 on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and only six on the New Territories side.

Most of these directors are some veteran teachers who have worked in various government primary and secondary schools for many years, have a wide range of contacts, and love the teaching profession, so it is handy for them to manage the teaching staff in various districts and schools.

Anna said before that the Governor's Mansion was financially tight, and it was impossible to improve the treatment of teachers in the past two years, but Huo Yaowen did not mention this at the meeting, mainly because he was afraid that more teachers would see that their salaries could not be raised, so they chose to resign and find another way.

It's just that the new trustees try to reassure the low-income teachers as much as possible, and if necessary, they can ask the Faculty Union for help.

Similarly, after the official establishment of the Teaching Union, Huo Yaowen immediately proposed to create an exclusive newspaper belonging to the Teaching Union.

This is mainly for the long-term consideration of the Teaching and Labor Federation, an organized trade union, if it is not profitable, it is difficult to maintain and operate, so the establishment of newspapers and periodicals is to enable the trade union to continue to develop for a long time, so that Huo Yaowen will not always let Huo Yaowen pay money.

After discussing the name of the newspaper, it was decided to be "Dawn of Education", which is a journal of bilingual education in Chinese and English, with the purpose of promoting professional development and teaching practice, publishing practical and research articles as the main body, and accepting contributions from teachers in Hong Kong.

Excluding personnel expenses and contributors' contributions, all profits go to the Faculty Union and are used to pay the salaries of the staff and directors of the Faculty Union.

The investment and printing equipment of the newspaper and periodical were funded by Huo Yaowen, the president, and it didn't cost much, only hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

Even the monthly membership fee paid by each person is only a symbolic dollar, and it is basically impossible to expect them to use the money to improve the daily operation of the teaching union.

It's a little ridiculous to say, the title and title of the president of the Teaching and Labor Federation seem to have been smashed by Huo Yaowen with money.

However, if you think about it another way, the titles and titles that seem to be of little use now, but when all the educators in Hong Kong are encompassed in the future, then this federation will have a lot to offer.

……

In the New Year of 1972, as in the past, almost all of my uncle's family and grandfather's family came over, plus Huo Yaowen's family and Anna, and several lively families celebrated the New Year together.

Originally, Anna also wanted to stay with her for a while, but the Governor's Mansion was very busy, and she was thinking of a way for Huo Yaowen to take a stake in the Hung Hom Submarine Tunnel.

At this moment, when Huo Yaowen was spending the Spring Festival with his family, far away in the UK, "Game of Thrones" and "A Thousand Success Stories" were finally ready to be published and listed after many reviews and typesetting.

However, considering the different positioning of the two books, and the fact that a masterpiece as "Game of Thrones" could never be released so hastily, the editor-in-chief of Times Publishing Company decided to carry out a large-scale publicity campaign for two months after reporting to the board of directors.

The first to be published is "A Thousand Success Stories".

In fact, the editor-in-chief of Thames is not very optimistic about this book like Aesop's Fables, but the author is Huo Yaowen, and his other masterpiece "Game of Thrones" is the most important of the many books released by Thames Publishing Company this year.

Of course, it is necessary to pay some attention.

So it took an extra week to make a brief announcement before it was directly distributed across the UK.

Only 100,000 copies of A Thousand Success Stories were printed, which is too little compared to Game of Thrones' estimate of at least one million copies for the first printing.

In fact, this book was indeed as they expected, and only sold less than 20,000 copies in half a month, which was also thanks to the previous publicity and Huo Yaowen's huge popularity in the UK.

For the sake of sales, many British newspapers also hyped up the news that Evan's new work had been destroyed in London, and many racial elements had long seen that Evan, a Chinese, was unhappy and began to advocate that he was exhausted.

This incident also made the people of Thames Publishing Company very passive, especially passive, because they were supposed to promote "Game of Thrones" on a large scale next, but because the book sold so poorly, to a certain extent, it also attenuated the gimmick and popularity of Huo Yaowen's new work.

It's hard to guarantee that no reader will see the content of the news and think that Huo Yaowen is indeed exhausted.

……

"I shouldn't have published this book!"

This is what the editor-in-chief of Thames said personally at the meeting at the end of the month!

Afterwards, the editor-in-chief James found the editor-in-chief and persuaded: "Okay, Mr. Editor-in-Chief, we can't offend Mr. Evan because of the failure of this book, you must know that we have not obtained the follow-up publication copyright of "Harry Potter", and "Game of Thrones" knows that there is a follow-up at a glance!"

The editor-in-chief frowned and said, "Of course I know this, I have already told the general manager of the Egyptian book trading company, Lito, and asked him to urge Mr. Evan to write the second part of "Harry" as soon as possible. However, our immediate priority is to expand the publicity of "Game of Thrones", and you ask the people below to formulate a new publicity plan as soon as possible, and do everything possible to suppress the unfavorable news in the newspaper, and I must publish it before March. ”
