When he came out of Mark's guest room, Huo Yaowen went downstairs with Luo Cheng, and when he arrived at the parking lot, he stretched out his hand and said: "Lawyer Luo is bothering you this time, I hope that your law firm can handle it in the shortest possible time, I am currently short of this amount of funds." ”

Luo Cheng clipped the briefcase in his arms and shook hands with Huo Yaowen: "Yes, Mr. Huo, as your lawyer, we will naturally help you bring this money and equipment back from the United States in the shortest possible time." If Mr. Huo is in a hurry to use the money, maybe our law firm can help with the operation. ”

Huo Yaowen frowned, puzzled by what he meant: "What does Lawyer Luo mean?"

Luo Cheng grabbed the briefcase in his arms and replied: "There are many banks in Hong Kong that have opened business in the United States, they are not short of Hong Kong dollars, what they lack is US dollar savings, if Mr. Huo needs money urgently, I can help turn it around." ”

"Will there be any impact?" Huo Yaowen didn't know much about this bank, but if he could, he could get the money in advance, which was a good choice.

"It doesn't make a difference, I've done this kind of thing many times. Rod smiled lightly and was full of confidence.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen pondered for a few seconds, nodded and agreed: "In that case, then Lawyer Luo, after you estimate how much balance you can have after buying a few printing equipment, you will take it all from the bank to me at the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars." ”

"Yes. Luo Cheng took out the car keys from his briefcase, glanced at Huo Yaowen and asked, "Mr. Huo is here by car, do you need me to give you a ride?"

"No need Lawyer Luo, I have a car, you can go back first. ”

"Okay, Mr. Huo, I'll go first, if there is anything to contact me directly, I will also ask people to investigate the sales of Mr. Huo's books in the United States as soon as possible. ”

"Okay. ”

Huo Yaowen politely refused the other party's send-off, and after driving Luo Cheng away, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, the corner of his mouth smiled, and the hand holding the car key was squeezed tighter.

The first manuscript fee was more than 133,000 US dollars, almost more than 600,000 Hong Kong dollars, and after deducting the money to buy a few printing equipment, at least more than 200,000 yuan could be settled, which was enough for him to change a new house and build Yaowen Book Publishing Company

In the Literary World Newspaper Pavilion, Deng McKee got up to see off Nie Hualing and her husband Paul, and before parting, Deng McKee smiled and said: "Ms. Nie, Mr. Paul, don't worry, I will definitely publish this news in the newspaper as soon as possible, and I think there will be many young writers who will participate in this International Writing Project. ”

"Editor-in-Chief Deng is sorry for you. Nie Hualing shook hands with Deng Maiji and said, "If Editor-in-Chief Deng wants to report on Mr. Huo, I think he should contact him." ”

"This is natural, I will contact Huo Sheng as soon as possible. Deng McKee agreed to report that Huo Yaowen wrote the news of English science fiction in the United States, so naturally he would not publish it in the newspaper so hastily, and at least send reporters to the United States to see on the spot, if it is really as Nie Hualing said, then this report will definitely be able to cause a sensation in the whole of Hong Kong!

After sending Nie Hualing and his wife away, Deng McKey immediately returned to his office, picked up the phone on the table and called the director of the interview department, asking him to come to the editor-in-chief's office immediately.

Chen Youliang knocked on the door of the office, walked in and looked at Deng McKee with an excited face, approached and asked suspiciously, "Editor-in-chief Deng, are you looking for me?"

Deng McKee saw that someone was coming, and hurriedly handed him the letter written in his hand and said: "You have come just in time, you should hurry up and arrange for a few of the best English reporters in the newspaper to go to the United States." ”

"What is this?" Chen Youliang looked at the unknown envelope in his hand, and was very puzzled, why did he go to the United States at this time?

Deng McKee sat on his chair and gave orders: "This letter is written by me to the Overseas Chinese Daily in the United States, their editor-in-chief knows me, today you arrange for a few of the best English reporters to go to the United States to investigate all the circumstances of the publication of a book called "1999 - Our Journey is the Sea of Stars", be sure to get a detailed and real number of sales, by the way, in various bookstores in the United States to interview the readers who bought the book, or the owners of the bookstores, to ask Americans what their preferences are for this book. ”

Chen Youliang wanted to ask the editor-in-chief Deng about the sales of the book in the United States, and what was the use of interviewing local readers for the newspaper?

But seeing that Deng McKee didn't have the idea of wanting to explain, Chen Youliang didn't ask much, just nodded and agreed: "I know the editor-in-chief Deng, I will arrange for someone to go to the United States as soon as possible." ”

"Not as soon as possible, but today to arrange for someone to go!" Deng McGee frowned and said: "I want you to investigate this matter clearly within a week, be sure to write a detailed account of the situation of this book in the United States, and by the way, collect the newspapers of the New York Times in the United States in the last six months to see if there is any evaluation of this book." ”

"Got the editor-in-chief. Chen Youliang had a headache for a while, and now he just had to arrange for someone to go, and he also collected the newspapers of the New York Times in the past six months for no reason, this workload is a bit too much! However, if the boss is fluttering, the subordinate will break his leg, anyway, it is not Chen Youliang who will go to the United States by himself, and it will be good to hand it over to the reporters below when the time comes.

"Alright, you go out first. ”

"It's Editor-in-Chief Deng, and I'll arrange for reporters to go to the United States now. ”

"Well, all expenses are reimbursed by the newspaper, so that the reporters can leave for the United States immediately if they can. ”

Deng McKee watched Chen Youliang leave, the excitement in his heart could not be concealed, he squeezed his hands, suddenly thought of Huo Yaowen, pondered for a moment, and decided to communicate with Huo Yaowen first, and when the time came, when the information from the United States came, coupled with Huo Yaowen's interview, the effect would be better.

dialed the phone downstairs in Huo Yaowen's dormitory, and the person who answered the phone was still the one named Uncle Wang, and learned from his mouth that Huo Yaowen had not returned to school, so Deng McKee had to ask Uncle Wang to help wait for him later, and when he came back, he would inform the editor-in-chief of Huo Sheng's literary world to find him and make sure that he called back today.

Uncle Wang agreed with a smile: "Okay, I will inform Mr. Huo." ”

Huo Yaowen drove the car around and just arrived at the University of Hong Kong, and from afar, he saw the teacher Zhang Chengyi chatting with Professor Luke all the way, as if he was talking about something exciting, and Professor Luke was dancing there excitedly.

Parking the car in the parking lot, Huo Yaowen got out of the car and walked straight to Professor Zhang Chengyi and Professor Luke, who were walking towards him.

Seeing that the two of them had been chatting without noticing themselves at all, Huo Yaowen also waved his hand and shouted, "Teacher Zhang, Professor Luke!"

"Yaowen, are you going out again?" Zhang Chengyi glanced at the car next to Huo Yaowen, pursed his lips, and said angrily: "The school has been very busy recently, don't always run out, although you have fewer courses, but if you have time, study more in the dormitory, or ask Anna about the new philosophy department courses in the second half of the year." ”

Since last year, after deciding to use the textbooks of the University of London, Zhang Chengyi asked Huo Yaowen to go to Anna and Professor Luke to learn the content of the textbooks in London, so as to familiarize themselves with them in advance, so as not to wait for the start of the new semester to teach students who are not even familiar with the textbooks.

Huo Yaowen sneered, he has indeed been busy recently, but he is also studying the new textbooks.

The printing house has been printing new textbooks for the Department of Philosophy and the Department of Law for some time now, and Huo Yaowen has already obtained the textbooks for all the courses of the Department of Philosophy by relying on convenience, and he will read them every day, and he will consult Anna if he doesn't know the place.

Professor Luke didn't care about Huo Yaowen going out, but walked up to him excitedly: "Evan, there is good news for you. ”

"Oh, what's the good news for Professor Luke?" Huo Yaowen asked with a smile on his face, and then glanced at Zhang Chengyi.

Professor Luke did not directly say the good news: "Do you know about the World Congress of Philosophy?"

"World Congress of Philosophy?" Huo Yaowen frowned, thinking about it for a long time in his mind, and then found the word in the depths of his memory, "Professor Luke, you mean the World Congress of Philosophy organized by FISP (International Federation of Philosophical Societies)?"

Professor Luke nodded: "That's right, this is it, this was originally held last year, but because the host city of Vienna was closed for some reason, this year they are going to re-host the 14th World Congress of Philosophy, the school has applied to the organizer of Vienna, I think we will not be long before we will participate in this world philosophy event, you and Anna will also go over together." ”

Huo Yaowen looked at Zhang Chengyi in astonishment, and saw that he nodded slightly, which was considered to be an affirmation of this matter, and couldn't help but be surprised: "When will it be held?"

"It should be in July, the weather in Vienna is good, I think it is very suitable for the opening of this World Congress of Philosophy, when all the world's famous philosophers will be there, this is a grand event of the international philosophical community, Evan This is a great opportunity for you, you must cherish it. ”

After speaking, Professor Luke patted Huo Yaowen on the shoulder, signaling him to listen more and ask more questions and learn more at that time, not everyone is qualified to participate in the philosophical conference, if it were not for the organizers of the Vienna Philosophical Conference to temporarily change the rules and follow the normal procedures, the probability of Huo Yaowen being able to participate in this grand event is equal to 0.

Huo Yaowen didn't really care about whether he could participate in this grand meeting of philosophy, he silently estimated the time in his heart, in July, the University of Hong Kong is already on vacation, and the school doesn't have to worry, as for the textbooks and books of the publishing house, they must have been printed, and the time is just right for the start of school for young students in August
