BOSS, at the moment you have less than $3 million on your accounts in the UK and the US. However, there are still a few manuscript fees that have not yet arrived, and if you count the manuscript fees, it is almost more than 5 million. ”

"Okay, I see. Hanging up the phone, Huo Yaowen, who was sitting in the study, began to think in his heart.

The price for which Universal Press wants to acquire The Sun and The New York Post is $12 million and $15 million respectively, adding up to $27 million.

Murdoch suddenly gave a 10% increase, that is, 30 million US dollars, which is a lot of money for the current Huo Yaowen.

According to his estimates, if he wants to completely eliminate the idea of Murdoch's competition, he may have to report 32 million dollars.

gave an extra five million dollars in vain, and Huo Yaowen was not angry to have a ghost.

It's just that people also belong to normal business competition, and the acquisition is originally higher than who bids.

Although Huo Yaowen can scrape together five million dollars in a short period of time to deal with Murdoch, it will not be long before Hutchison needs money.

Thinking of this, he muttered to himself: "It seems that Davide needs to be notified and asked to urge Fox to divide "1999" as soon as possible." ”

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the door of the study, and Anna walked in with Xiaobao in her arms, and said with a smile: "Xiaobao, look who that is!"

Xiaobao blinked his big eyes and looked over, and suddenly showed a bright smile, and said vaguely: "Baba!"

Seeing his daughter calling her father, Huo Yaowen also put aside his worries, got up happily and walked over, took the child, and raised it high and said, "Xiaobao, call Dad." ”

"Baba!"

"Yes, it's Dad, Dad will fly you. ”

As he spoke, Huo Yaowen held Xiaobao and walked around the air several times, causing the little guy to let out a crisp laugh and laugh happily.

"Okay, okay, the child is still young, don't hold so high. Anna said nervously.

"It's fine. ”

said so, but Huo Yaowen still honestly let the child down, looked at Anna and said, "What's wrong?"

Anna took the child and said, "Just now Brandt called and said that on the fourth of next month, the Queen of England will visit Hong Kong and invite you and me to participate in the evening welcome ceremony. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

Huo Yaowen didn't really want to participate in this kind of more formal banquet, but Anna was British and a viscount, and the queen was visiting, so she naturally had to go over to greet and welcome her.

Anna asked again, "Are you free tomorrow morning?"

"Morning?"

Huo Yaowen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be fine, what?"

Anna smiled and said, "Then you won't go out tomorrow morning, I asked Vanessa to help hire a Hong Kong costume designer who specializes in making suits, and he will come to the door to tailor a set for you at that time." ”

"I've got quite a few suits again. ”

Thinking of the dozens of suits with different styles in the wardrobe, Huo Yaowen was big for a while, he only bought a few suits in total, and most of them were bought by Anna for him in the future.

"Make a few more sets, you can wear them differently. ”

"Oh well. ”

Huo Yaowen shrugged, he understood that Anna bought clothes for herself, not simply to wear them for herself, but to enjoy the happiness of buying clothes for herself.

"Then I'll go down first, dinner will be ready soon, you can come down and eat." ”

Seeing that her lover agreed, Anna smiled happily and went downstairs to play with the child in her arms.

After the others left, Huo Yaowen turned around and returned to his desk, picked up the phone and called Yao Wenjie, asking him to help send a telegram to the United States, informing Davide to urge Fox as soon as possible, and he must let the people from Fox call the box office within half a month.

……

At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Master Zhang, who had been invited to make a suit, rushed over early.

"Mr. Huo, stretch your arms. Master Zhang said.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen spread his arms.

After measuring Huo Yaowen's size for a few more minutes, Master Zhang took out a picture album he was carrying, opened it and handed it over, and said, "Mr. Huo, these are some of the dresses I made before, you can look at the one you like, of course, you can also put forward your thoughts." ”

Huo Yaowen took the album and flipped a few pages at random, feeling that the styles were all about the same, except for the different colors, there was no difference, so he couldn't help but hand the album to Anna and said, "You help me pick a set, I still have something to deal with." ”

"Well, you go and help, I'll help you pick. Anna took the album and flipped through the pages.

Seeing how happy she was chosen, Huo Yaowen also smiled, turned around and walked upstairs.

This woman seems to have been born to be selective.

When he returned to the study, Huo Yaowen first made a phone call to the hotel to find Evans, explaining that he would only go to him today, and if Evans was free, he would go to the "Oriental Daily" and "Hong Kong Observer" to have a look at the global newspaper industry in Hong Kong.

"I know the boss, I'll send two telegrams to the UK and the US in a moment, and ask them to hold back Murdoch's team as much as possible. ”

"Well, I've already figured out another way in terms of funding, and I think there will be results in the next two days. ”

"Waiting for your good news boss. ”

Hanging up the phone, Huo Yaowen called Yao Wenjie again, and learned from him that Davide replied with a telegram in the morning, saying that Fox had already started arranging the box office share of "1999" again, and it was expected that the money would be transferred to the account of the American branch of Universal Films in early May.

"Okay, I know, there's nothing going on in the company lately, right?" Speaking of which, Huo Yaowen hasn't been to Yaowen Book Publishing Company for more than a month, and has been running back and forth between his home and the TV station.

Yao Wenjie said: "It's not a big deal, but I estimate that the market in Taiwan will decline recently, but we sent a message from the publishing company we cooperated with in Nanyang, saying that martial arts are selling very well there." ”

Huo Yaowen was puzzled: "What's wrong with Taiwan?"

"What do you say, general manager?

Yao Wenjie's words were full of words, Huo Yaowen thought about it, and suddenly remembered the major event that had been reported in the newspaper in the past two days, the Standing Chairman who had fought with Taizu all his life died of illness on April 5.

"Okay. ”

Huo Yaowen thought of this, and he didn't say anything more, after all, it is easy to have irresistible factors when he talks about this matter, which leads to the loss of the work, and it will be worth the loss.

Hurriedly changed the topic and told Yao Wenjie that he could act cheaply, and if the book market in Nanyang continued to expand, he could consider opening a branch there, signing contracts with local writers, and publishing their works.

"I know the general manager, and I'll arrange for someone to go to Nanyang to have a look later. ”

"Well, there's nothing to do, so you're busy. ”

With that, Huo Yaowen hung up the phone.

After all the business was done, Huo Yaowen took out a stack of manuscripts from the drawer, on which "Harry Potter 3" was written.

Since the middle of last year, I haven't written a book for almost half a year, and now although there are more things, I not only have to buy two newspapers, but also prepare to take a stake in Hutchison Foreign Company.

But these are not things that can be solved in a while, so let's do our job of "writing books" first, and we can't let readers and book lovers continue to wait.

Huo Yaowen finished reading the outline he had written before, and combed through the plots of the movies he had watched in his mind, although some of the plots had long been forgotten, but he didn't write all the books or movies, after all, he didn't have the memory of those time-travelers.

After forming a complete story chain in his mind, Huo Yaowen picked up the pen on the table and wrote on the white manuscript paper, "Harry Potter 3: Prisoner of Azkaban......"

……

In the blink of an eye, I don't know how much time has passed.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that Huo Yaowen put down his pen and rubbed his eyes to look at the door.

"You've been writing books here?" Anna leans closer and realizes that her lover is writing Harry Potter Part III.

"It's been a bit long, and it's time to fill in the hole. Huo Yaowen smiled.

Anna walked to the back of the chair and helped him massage his shoulders while smiling: "You also know that you have been delaying the manuscript for a long time, don't you know, Lilith has been sending a telegram to me recently, begging me to let you write Harry Potter and Game of Thrones as soon as possible, but I saw that you were busy with TV affairs, so I didn't tell you." ”

"Uh-huh, so I'm writing. Huo Yaowen closed his eyes, enjoyed a comfortable massage service, and said, "How did you choose a suit?"

"Very good, I have to say that this Master Zhang's craftsmanship is great, guess who he used to make a suit for?"

"Who?"

"Marlon Brando, my God, if I hadn't seen him and Marlon Brando's photo with my own eyes, it's really hard to imagine that Marlon Brando would go to Hong Kong to find him to order a suit. ”

Anna was still surprised when she thought of the photo she had seen before, even if dozens of minutes had passed.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen couldn't help but open his eyes, his brows furrowed, and secretly thought that he had made a suit for Marlon Brando, and his surname was Zhang, could it be his father? !
