083 [Yaowen Book Publishing Company] 1/5
By the time we finished eating, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
Auntie, Grandma and Tingting accompanied her uncle's family around the new estate, familiarizing themselves with the nearby road conditions, traffic and vegetable markets.
Huo Yaowen followed Huo Chengcai to the study.
After opening the door of the library.
Huo Chengcai asked his son to sit down, and he asked directly, "Do you really want to open a publishing company?"
Huo Yaowen said: "Well, basically the things that should be planned have been planned, and now in addition to recruiting manpower, it is to communicate with the school." β
For nearly half a month, he was planning the affairs of the publishing company.
Hearing his son say this, Huo Chengcai glanced at it, pondered for a few seconds and said, "Sure?"
"Eighty percent!"
Since the "Sweet Honey" written by him has been a big hit, Huo Yaowen has a little more confidence in the affairs of the publishing company. This is not the later era when channels are king, and the fame of a well-known literati author can easily drive the profitability of a newspaper and magazine.
So far, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has many readers in Hong Kong, in addition to readers who read newspapers, he learned from the commercial radio station He Zuozhi a few days ago that there are also many people listening to radio dramas.
Every night at 7 o'clock in the radio drama, when Li I and Luo Huizhen host the broadcast, they always read the pen name "Fusheng" at the beginning.
Although it may not be as good as Ni Frame, Shu Qiongyao, Zhang Ailing, and other people who have been famous for several years, in Huo Yaowen's opinion, with the big sale of "Sweet Honey", his fame will gradually rise, and then he will be like Yan Qin, who became popular in the book "Heart Wall", and the second book "Green Manor" can also sell 300,000 copies.
A best-selling book is enough to drive the development of a publishing company, and Fok Yaowen has a lot of ideas and ideas far ahead of this era, and it may not be realistic to write them all one by one, but at least he can get through the difficulties in the early stage.
Moreover, Huo Yaowen's current most important place is not publishing, but textbooks and tutorial books, these two types of books are almost eternal, or never outdated.
Even forty years later, in the apocalyptic era of physical books, textbooks and tutorials of all kinds are also flooding the book market, and students will never be able to leave such books!!
What Huo Yaowen remembers most is that there used to be a book city in his city, where there were bookstores selling all kinds of books, but after 10 years, almost all of them were closed, but only a few were still doing good business, and those two were specialized in selling textbooks and tutorial books.
Huo Chengcai was slightly surprised when he heard his son say such a confident look, looking at Huo Yaowen's increasingly mature face, he was slightly distracted, it turned out that he was already so old, he smiled and said, "Okay, how much do you think it will cost?"
"At least 130,000. Huo Yaowen shook his head, and he said: "The most important thing in the publishing house is the printing equipment, in addition to the personnel, and at least 100,000 yuan is the money for the purchase of printing equipment and venues. β
When Huo Chengcai heard this, he didn't say anything else, but said directly: "You should know that last time your third uncle gave 150,000 yuan, originally this money was intended to buy you a suite, if you think you can, I will inform your grandmother to give you the money later." β
Huo Yaowen was not hypocritical, anyway, he just wanted to persuade him, but when he heard his father take the initiative, he also nodded and agreed: "Don't worry Lao Dou, I will definitely not lose this money." β
Huo Chengcai smiled and said: "It's okay if you lose, I have lost more than you." β
......
Day 2.
Before going to class at the University of Hong Kong in the morning, Fok Yaowen told his uncle and father some preliminary matters, so he became the shopkeeper and hurried back to school.
Huo Chengcai has decided to support his son to open a publishing company, so he naturally went all out, and the affairs of the bookstore were handed over to Huo's mother and aunt. He and his uncle Zhang Zhide went to the law firm to spend a little money, hired a lawyer with a related profession to help register an independent publishing company, and applied for a publishing license.
At this time, the publishing license was not as difficult as it was later, and the lawyer easily took it for a little money.
The name of the publishing company, Huo Chengcai named it "Yaowen Education Book Publishing Company" according to his son's meaning, although it is said to be taken according to Huo Yaowen's name, but it sounds good, and it can be regarded as a clear name of the publishing company.
Not to mention that Huo's father and uncle were busy registering the company.
On the other hand, after Huo Yaowen returned to school, after finishing class as usual, he was going to go back to the office to find Teacher Zhang and discuss with him how to cooperate with the school.
But before he could walk out of the door of the classroom, he heard someone calling out behind him.
Looking back, I saw Zhang Yingying and Xu Anhua each holding a book and walked over, "Teacher Huo, can you help us sign it?"
Huo Yaowen looked down at the title of the book, which read "Sweet Honey", and then said with a smile: "You also like to read this kind of book?"
"Uh-huh!"
Zhang Yingying said with excitement on her face: "The day before yesterday, when I went out shopping with Hua Hua, I passed by the bookstore and saw Mr. Huo's book, and after I bought it, I found that it was written by you, Mr. Huo, it is so beautiful, I like some poetic sentences in it." β
Xu Anhua also nodded and said: "Teacher Huo, I like your Lin Wanrong very much, I think she dares to love and hate, and she understands things." β
"Lin Wanrong is indeed a very assertive woman. β
Huo Yaowen writes it himself, so he naturally knows what the heroine in his pen looks like. He wrote about Huo Zainian's fiancΓ©e Li Yanran is a more traditional woman, although she has studied in a girls' school, she is still traditional in her bones, on the other hand, Lin Wanrong is different, a woman swaying in the red dust, she dares to love and hate, she never chooses to stay when she should leave, and has a decisiveness that many women do not have.
"I've always had a dream to be a director and make movies that I love. Xu Anhua said suddenly: "I really hope that if I have the opportunity in the future, Mr. Huo, can you hand over "Sweet Honey" to me to make a movie?"
Huo Yaowen was stunned, although he knew that Xu Anhua would become a director later, he didn't expect to have this idea now, and he also wanted to remake his own "Sweet Honey", and said with a chuckle: "No problem, if you really become a director in the future, "Sweet Honey" will be handed over to you for filming." β
Hearing this, Xu Anhua was excited, since she watched the movie when she was very young, she was full of yearning for the movie, fantasizing about becoming the heroine in it, but as she grew older, she found that maybe being a director was also a good choice, and all the ideas in her mind were realized in the movie one by one.
"Great! Mr. Huo, don't worry, if I become a director, I will definitely shoot this movie well, and I will definitely not spoil your book. β
Facing the immature Xu Anhua, Huo Yaowen smiled silently, signed for them, and wrote his blessings to the two, then said goodbye and left the classroom and walked towards the office.
