The two houses that Fok Yiuwen bought are in Bonham West Street in Sheung Wan, although the location here is not particularly prosperous, but some of the surrounding public facilities are still very complete, vegetable markets, seafood markets, etc., and it is not particularly far from the University of Hong Kong, unlike in the past, it took several hours to cross the sea from the Kowloon Peninsula to Hong Kong Island every time, which can be said to save a lot of time.

Huo Yaowen took out a few packs of cigarettes from the briefcase he was carrying, handed one to Ming Tsai, and said, "Ming Tsai's decoration will trouble you." ”

Ming Tsai saw the Marlboro cigarette, frowned, pushed it away and said, "Brother Yaowen, what is the relationship between the two of us, this is just a trivial matter, forget about this cigarette." ”

Huo Yaowen glared at Ming Zai, "If you want to take it, you still care about me, if you don't take it, how can those workers take it?"

Ming Tsai glanced at a few workers who were measuring the house in the back room, hesitated for a while, but still thanked him, and took the cigarette in Huo Yaowen's hand.

"You take all of these, and they will be distributed to them, I haven't had time to come over recently, and it's far away from here, and my mother doesn't usually come over often, so you can take care of it more, if there is any material missing, buy it directly, and I'll settle it for you when the time comes." ”

Huo Yaowen didn't bother to deliver them one by one, and stuffed a few packs of cigarettes on hand to Ming Tsai, suddenly thought of one thing, thought for a while and said, "Ming Tsai, have you considered setting up a decoration team?"

"Decoration team?" Ming Tsai took the cigarette, opened a pack, and wanted to give one to Huo Yaowen, but remembered that Brother Yaowen had quit smoking, so he had to light it himself.

"When I bought these two houses, I heard from the real estate manager that there were more people buying old houses recently, and I thought it would be good for you to gather a few bricklayers and sailors to start a renovation team by yourself. ”

For Ming Zai, Huo Yaowen still wanted to help as much as he could, but the other party didn't study until middle school, and he couldn't help much with the publishing house, thinking that he learned to be a carpenter and set up a decoration team by himself, and he could make a living in the future, which was much better than always following others to do things.

"Forget it, Brother Yaowen, I don't have that ability. Ming Tsai shook his head and refused politely, "I'm not very good at talking, it's all other people who have jobs looking for me, I'll go over to fish, the master has a job and also contact me, let me get a decoration team out or forget it, it's good now, some fish will fish, and if you don't fish, you will rest at home." ”

Although Ming Tsai doesn't like the carpenter's job, but he has been doing it for a year, not to mention that he is familiar with it, making money is quite profitable, but the decoration team is not so simple, not only to find good workers, but also to have work to do.

Huo Yaowen saw that Ming Tsai refused, and the reason he found was that he was incompetent, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Ming Tsai didn't have any opinions, but he had already seen it, but he didn't expect that he didn't even have any ambition.

Ming Tsai is also an adult now, and he has his own ideas, since it is useless to persuade if he doesn't want to, Huo Yaowen can only say, "Okay, I still have something to do over there, and the house decoration will trouble you." ”

Ming Tsai didn't say a word, patted his chest and said, "It's okay, Brother Yaowen, everything is wrapped up in me." ”

Downstairs, Huo Yaowen deliberately walked around the new community, there are not many shops around, but there are all kinds of goods that should be available, and there are uniformed police patrols every day, after all, this is the upper ring area of Hong Kong Island, and many people living around are also rich and noble.

After walking around, he became more and more satisfied with this place, it was not particularly prosperous and lively, but the flow of people was not small, which was quite in line with the daily life of the family.

got into the second-hand car that Huo Chengcai bought, Huo Yaowen drove straight to the address of the Literary World Newspaper, after talking to Deng McKee on the phone a few days ago, he originally thought that he would pass the next day, but it was delayed to sign a contract with the Mark of Bantan Book Publishing Company, and then it was the Thames Publishing Company in the United Kingdom, which tossed back and forth for several days, and finally vacated it today.

drove leisurely, and after more than half an hour, he arrived outside the door of the Literary World Newspaper Building, found a place to park the car, and Huo Yaowen walked into the newspaper building.

When the girl at the front desk saw Huo Yaowen, her eyes lit up, and she immediately walked out of the front desk and waved her hand, "Mr. Huo, Editor-in-Chief Deng is waiting for you in the office." ”

"Thank you. Huo Yaowen thanked him, followed the girl at the front desk, walked through the public office area, and walked directly to the editor-in-chief's office.

"Knock knock. ”

The girl at the front desk knocked on the door of the office, then opened the door directly, turned sideways to let Huo Yaowen in, thinking that she had received an order early in the morning.

"Huo Sheng is here!" Deng McKee raised his eyes and saw that it was Huo Yaowen, so he immediately stood up from the chair happily, walked quickly to him, and warmly invited him to sit in the rest area, "Xiao Liu went to make two cups of tea and came in." ”

"Yes. The girl at the front desk looked at Huo Yaowen, then nodded and turned around to go out to make tea.

Huo Yaowen was a little confused when he saw Deng McKee so enthusiastic, and he didn't say what it was on the phone, but just said that he invited himself to come to the newspaper for a trip, thinking that it was an appointment, but seeing that it didn't seem to be like this, he couldn't help frowning, and asked curiously, "Editor-in-chief Deng doesn't know what you are looking for me for?"

"Mr. Huo, don't you know?" Deng Maiji was stunned for a few seconds, seeing that the doubts on his face did not seem to be fake, then he laughed and said, "Huo Sheng, don't hide it from me, I already know it from Ms. Nie." ”

"Ms. Nie?" Huo Yaowen frowned and thought for a moment, and then came to a trance, it should be the fact that the book he wrote was a big hit in the United States, so that Nie Hualing said to Deng Maiji, "Editor-in-Chief Deng is for the book I published in the United States?"

"Yes!" Deng McKey excitedly walked to his desk and picked up a thick stack of documents on the desk, which Yang Zongsheng and Chen Shaomin brought back from the United States on a plane this morning.

"Huo Sheng, this is the information I sent to the United States to collect, you have seen it. ”

Deng McKee handed over a thick stack of documents to Huo Yaowen, and at this time, the girl at the front desk walked in with two cups of tea, Deng McKee took the tea, retired the little girl, and waited quietly for Huo Yaowen to finish reading.

Most of the content in the documents is the American media's reports on Huo Yaowen, these are all things he has not read, and he is still a little surprised at first glance, such a thick stack of documents, and some specially edited newspaper content, all of which report on himself and "1999".

Deng McKee noticed that Huo Yaowen's face was surprised, and he also said with a smile: "These are all reporters I sent to the United States, cut and interviewed in major newspapers in the United States, to ensure absolute truth, I think Huo Sheng, you didn't expect that you are so famous in the United States now!"

Deng McKee was right, Huo Yaowen himself didn't expect that he was so famous in the United States now, and he was also surprised when he saw this information.

The New York Times, the Washington Daily, the Wall Street Journal, ABC Broadcasting, radio stations, so many well-known media outlets are covering Evan and "1999", you can imagine how famous you are in the United States.

How could this be? Unlike Deng McKee, who was excited to find sensational news, Huo Yaowen frowned, even if his book sold a million books in the United States, it shouldn't be such a sensation, right?

When looking at the cut of the headlines written in the various newspapers

"Evan's American Dream for a New Generation!"

"The Myth of Wealth Created in the United States by a Few Skin Colors!"

"Chinese science fiction writer Evan became famous with a book that sold millions of copies!"

"The United States is the "Holy Land" that people all over the world yearn for, and you will be the next Evan when you come here, and you will be the creator of the next American dream!!"

At this moment, Huo Yaowen gradually had an epiphany in his heart, recalled the conversation with Mark some time ago, pursed his lips, and thought that this should be the operation of Bantan Book Publishing Company, but when he saw the American dream written in the title, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, when he first signed a contract with Mark, the other party took the initiative to ask if he had an English name, saying that he must use an English name after the book was published.

Don't look at Mark's very good attitude towards Huo Yaowen later, reminding him of the tax in the United States, and giving a high share ratio, but the premise of all this is that Huo Yaowen can bring benefits to him and Bantan Book Publishing Company.

There are a lot of thick stacks of cut newspapers and magazines, Huo Yaowen lost interest after reading the news of several well-known newspapers, on the surface, it seems that he is praising himself, but in addition to mentioning his name and the identity of the Chinese, the content of the article is almost all praising the United States and praising the authenticity of the American dream.

Huo Yaowen closed the document, put it back on the table, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, raised his eyes to look at Deng Maiji, who was a little excited, and asked, "Editor-in-chief Deng, what do you mean?"

"I want to do a newspaper interview for Mr. Huo!" Deng McKee said succinctly.

Huo Yaowen pondered for a few seconds, and didn't think much about it, then nodded and agreed, "Yes." ”

The interview is a good thing for Deng McKee that can make the newspaper's sales surge, but it is not a good opportunity to increase Huo Yaowen's fame, and the two sides will benefit one and the other will be famous, which can be said to be a win-win cooperation.

Moreover, Deng McKee has already collected these news, and there is no problem in sending them out directly, after all, they are all factual news, and they are not fake news. But being able to take the initiative to find Huo Yaowen and discuss with him shows that Deng McKee still respects him very much.

"That's great!"

Deng McKee clenched his fists fiercely, since he received the praise from these American media from Chen Shaomin and Yang Zongsheng in the morning, he already had a sensational news idea in his heart, it doesn't matter whether Huo Yaowen is or not, but it is naturally better to get the consent of the main owner and get an opportunity for an exclusive interview.
