163 [Luo Qiaozhen]
......
Regarding the establishment of the Far Eastern Securities Exchange at the end of September, Huo Yaowen also drove to the temporary office written in the newspaper early the next morning to consult.
According to the receptionist, there are no companies listed on the Far Eastern Exchange, but 10 companies have already confirmed that they will be officially listed after business.
As soon as he heard that there were ten companies listed, Huo Yaowen wanted to ask which ten companies they were, but the other party was very strict and didn't say much, just said that if he wanted to buy stock securities at that time, he could wait until the official business to come.
Seeing this, Huo Yaowen didn't entangle with the other party much, took a copy of the securities trading manual they issued for free, and drove to the HKU Press first.
Under the leadership of Wu Liande, the old-timer, the HKU Press has been steadily moving forward, and it still mainly prints tutorial books, followed by printing some academic books signed by some school professors with them.
Although these academic books are almost not selling very well, as a publishing house affiliated with HKU, these books must be printed and distributed.
For these, as long as it is not a loss, even if it is not profitable, Wu Liande will agree to print, after all, a university press does not publish some academic books, it is unreasonable, and it can also fill the book copyright storage of the publishing house.
was also when Huo Yaowen chatted with Wu Liande about the recent situation of the publishing house.
Zhu Wenqing knocked on the door and came in.
As soon as he beckoned him to sit down, he frowned and said, "President, now there are people on Hong Kong Island and the New Territories who have learned from us to print tutorials and cooperate with some government and private schools. ”
After a month of elementary school, almost ninety percent of the students in Kowloon Government Primary School have purchased tutoring books, and the rest are either in difficult conditions at home, or they don't want to buy them, or are buying them.
From the original 300,000 copies, it has slowly sold to a small 400,000 copies.
Teachers in government schools throughout Kowloon are promoting "HKU Question Bank", and other publishing companies have long received rumors of such a big thing.
They calculated the profit of the tutoring book, and found that the cost of the tutoring book was low, and the net profit was so high.
In this way, these publishing companies naturally followed the same example, and invited a group of professors and teachers to follow the trend to produce tutorial books, trying to imitate Fok Yiuwen's sales method and cooperate with teachers in schools on Hong Kong Island and the New Territories.
Huo Yaowen has long been mentally prepared for others to follow suit, he said: "In fact, when this plan is told to you, you should be prepared in your heart. ”
Zhu Wenqing was ashamed and said: "Yes, I was prepared for a long time, and I thought about communicating and cooperating with some school teachers on Hong Kong Island and the New Territories, but at that time I was afraid that the tutoring books would not sell well." ”
Indeed, as Zhu Wenqing said, who could have known that the tutoring books would sell so well at that time?
Zhu Wenqing recognized this plan, but after all, no one had ever done it, and no one knew if it would be successful after being recommended by the school teacher to sell it.
This sales method, the first person to use it, basically does not need any background, as long as it comes up with enough benefits to the directors and teachers of those schools, but in the future, it is a matter of ability.
So, that's why Fok Yiu-man chose to cooperate with HKU.
Huo Yaowen smiled: "It's okay, it's not too late for you to do it now, if you need help, just tell Director Huang." Recently, the publishing house has made a profit, and the school is also very happy, and you can mention more about the contact with the schools on Hong Kong Island and the New Territories, and the foundation will be officially opened recently, so it will be much more convenient for you to negotiate with those schools with the foundation. ”
Zhu Wenqing nodded: "I know the president." ”
Wu Liande said at this time: "President, how is Brother Ming doing in your company?"
Huo Yaowen was stunned: "Mingzhi?"
"It's Yao Wenjie. ”
Wu Liande chuckled: "Mingzhi is Yao Wenjie's word, although it is not commonly used now, he and I still call each other that." ”
Huo Yaowen came over in a trance: "Editor-in-chief Yao did a good job, and I want to thank Wu Lao for helping me recommend such a talent." ”
Wu Liande said: "That's good, in the publishing industry, I may not be able to be as clear... Well done Wenjie. ”
Huo Yaowen praised: "Mrs. Wu is humble, isn't the publishing house doing a great job now under your management?"
Wu Liande laughed and said: "Haha, I'm just trying my best to do a good job, keep my job, eat with a mouthful of food, eat with a mouthful of food." ”
.......
Not long after, when Huo Yaowen came out of the publishing house and was about to drive to buy a birthday gift for his grandmother, he passed by a newsstand, and thought of the call from his cousin yesterday afternoon, so he also stopped the car, got out of the car and went to the newsstand to buy the latest issue of "Literary World".
flipped through the page of "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store", and the signature under the title of the book was impressively written with the word "Zhang Wanjun".
Huo Yaowen chuckled, didn't look closely, threw the weekly magazine on the co-pilot, drove to the gold shop in Central, and selected a set of gold jewelry, the number of grams is not much, but the style is beautiful, and it cost more than 40,000 yuan.
A few days ago, the manuscript fee of the British Times Publishing Company has been transferred to Huo Yaowen's Standard Chartered Bank account, converted into Hong Kong dollars, there are more than 300,000 yuan, which is only the manuscript fee in the early stage, plus the second part of "1999" has also been mailed to the UK, and is preparing for printing and publication.
When he was about to go back to school, Huo Yaowen suddenly found that he had unknowingly come to the Foundation's office, and when he thought of the Foundation, he remembered the check for two million given by Lei Luo, as well as the letter.
Huo Yaowen thought about this money for a while at the time, and decided to stay, since Lei Luo gave it to the Education Foundation in the name of donation, then it was rare for him to be kind.
So Huo Yaowen handed over the check to Zhang Chengyi to be responsible.
With these two million, plus the one million donated by Sir Zhou Xinian before, and the one million and four million funds donated by him and the University of Hong Kong, it is enough for the foundation to operate for one to two years.
Now that the Governor of Hong Kong has promulgated six years of free compulsory education, in the next few years, the six-year free education will inevitably spread throughout Hong Kong, so the objects of the Foundation's help will be secondary school students and college students.
......
Thinking about it, before he knew it, Huo Yaowen drove the car downstairs to the foundation's office building.
Parking, going upstairs.
When Huo Yaowen stepped out of the elevator and walked to the front desk of the foundation, he heard the little girl at the front desk hurriedly shouting, "President!"
"Hmm. Huo Yaowen nodded his head and stepped in.
At this time, the foundation has already taken shape, and the desks and chairs have all been moved up a few days ago, although the number of people is not large, plus the front desk, Zhang Chengyi and Huo Yaowen, there are only a dozen people in total, but such a small number of people are enough for the operation of the foundation, and if there are many people, the expenses will increase.
"Lawyer Luo!"
When Huo Yaowen was about to go to find Teacher Zhang, he suddenly looked at Luo Cheng, who was standing not far away and chatting with a few people.
Luo Cheng heard the voice, looked back, and said with a smile: "Mr. Huo, you are here!"
Huo Yaowen shook hands with him and said, "Lawyer Luo is here to take charge of the foundation case, right?"
The establishment of an education foundation requires a resident lawyer, and some contracts must be formulated, and the first person Huo Yaowen thought of was Luo Cheng.
"I'm sorry Mr. Huo, the work of the law firm has been too busy to take care of the foundation's side, but I have already arranged for someone to come over. ”
Luo Cheng shook his head slightly, pulled a woman next to him closer and said: "This is Luo Qiaozhen, the sister of the house, graduated from the London School of Law in the United Kingdom, and has served as a resident lawyer of the Hong Kong Catholic Foundation for five years, and has also been responsible for a series of charitable activities of the Catholic Church in the New Territories, I am not a nepotism, so Mr. Huo does not have to worry about the ability of the sister, and the legal affairs of the foundation will be responsible for the sister in the future." ”
Luo Qiaozhen stretched out her hand and smiled: "Hello Mr. Huo, I am very happy to be in charge of legal affairs for the Hong Kong Education Foundation, I think I will do my best." ”
"Miss Luo, I'm sorry for you. Huo Yaowen shook hands with her while looking at this woman named Luo Qiaozhen.
She is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with beautiful long hair and slightly fluffy eyes, big eyes, two pear vortices at the corners of her mouth when she smiles, she is wearing a gray dress that covers half of her arms, she has a moderate figure, she is not fat or thin, and even her speech and appearance are down-to-earth and generous.
Perhaps it was Luo Qiaozhen's gaze that was spotted by Luo Qiaozhen, and the other party's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, which made Huo Yaowen see it, and immediately withdrew his hand and smiled: "I didn't expect Miss Luo to have served as a resident lawyer at the Catholic Foundation and was also in charge of Catholic charity activities in the New Territories, so I think I should be familiar with the operation of the foundation, right?"
Luo Qiaozhen raised her head slightly, and said with a hint of pride: "I'm not particularly familiar with it, but I have been in contact with most of the work and have done it." ”
"Great!"
Huo Yaowen didn't expect to hire a lawyer and someone who understood the operation of the foundation, so he hurriedly said: "I have never run any foundation, and most of the people recruited have only participated in community work, so the foundation is created, Miss Luo still hopes to give more advice, if there are any suggestions, you can put them forward directly, and you don't have to be bound to legal matters, of course, I won't let Miss Luo do it in vain, and I won't be less in the salary I should pay." ”
Luo Qiaozhen glanced at the entire office, then turned to look at Huo Yaowen and said, "Since Mr. Huo has said so, then I will say what I think." ”
Huo Yaowen was stunned for a few seconds and said with a smile: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Luo Qiaozhen was also unambiguous, and said bluntly: "I just took a look, the foundation's constitution is very well written, and the purpose of raising kindness with kindness and love is also great, but at present, the foundation's standards for helping poor students have not been perfected, and I will try my best to revise it according to the regulations of the Catholic Foundation, and try to conform to our foundation's concept of raising kindness with kindness, of course, this may be a bit overstepping, but I think Mr. Huo shouldn't mind, right?"
"It doesn't matter. ”
Huo Yaowen agreed: "With Miss Luo, an expert, I think the foundation should be up and running soon, so that those students will also get some help as soon as possible." ”
Seeing that Huo Yaowen agreed so smoothly, Luo Qiaozhen had a little more affection, and put out the dissatisfaction that the other party had always looked at her before, she stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "So happy cooperation, I think as long as it goes well, the foundation will be officially operational within a week." ”
Luo Qiaozhen's smile is very beautiful, she smiles toothlessly, and the two beautiful pear vortices on her cheeks make her look very sweet.
Huo Yaowen stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation!"
