The new semester begins.

Zhang Chengyi retired as he wished, and the Department of Philosophy opened, except for Huo Yaowen, Anna and Luke, and several philosophy lecturers invited from the Chinese University, all of whom were assigned their own courses.

The Faculty of Philosophy has only 130 students this year, while the Faculty of Law next door has a huge number of students, with more than 400 students selected from all secondary schools in Hong Kong for the best grades.

Although the number of students is not large, there are many more courses, and Huo Yaowen is also busy and dizzy, but fortunately, Professor Luke discussed with the principal later, and recruited a few auxiliary teachers from a group of college students who had just graduated, that is, temporary workers, which alleviated the busy courses.

After the first few days of school, Huo Yaowen took the time to go back to participate in the opening of Lao Dou Huo Chengcai's new store, and there was no dragon and lion dance when the bookstore opened, but he still did a few activities, that is, he bought books on the day with a 20% discount, and then according to the method given by Huo Yaowen before, he made a free membership card, and all books were 9% off.

Although earning is a little less money per book, but not to mention, the bookstore can get a discount for free cards, the effect of this activity is still very good, and many people have signed up for this free discount card on the same day.

The discount card is just a piece of hard paper, with the name and date of the registrant written on the back, and the number, and more than 100 copies were given out on the first day of opening.

Regardless of whether these people can buy books or not, but with this discount card, when the children at home or want to buy books in the future, they will definitely come here to hang around, and if there are really no books they want to buy, they may go to other houses.

This can also be regarded as an invisible gathering of surrounding customers.

The opening of government primary schools in Kowloon is a few days later than that of the University of Hong Kong, and on the day of the opening of the school, it can be said that there is an overwhelming crowd of parents, and the number of parents who come to send their children to class is unimaginable.

As soon as the six-year free education ordinance in Kowloon came into effect, poor families in the past sent their children to school.

Originally, there were only about 30 government primary schools on the Kowloon Peninsula, but after the Education Department invested 20 million yuan to build primary schools, there were more than 20 at once, resulting in a lot of shortage of teacher resources.

Fortunately, many teachers are hired directly from secondary school graduates, and although the salary is not high, it is still a formal job, and it is decent to say, which has attracted many students who have just graduated this year to take up their posts.

Zhu Wenqing also hired more than 100 temporary workers to distribute printed posters and leaflets to parents at the gates of various schools.

The headline reads: "HKU Question Bank: Let Your Child Win at the Starting Line!"

The content is nothing more than to promote the tutorial book published by the University of Hong Kong Press, which contains high-quality teaching content prepared by the professors and teachers of the University of Hong Kong, so that students can learn more knowledge.

For these leaflets, most parents still take them home, after all, the quality of this paper is good, the reverse side is blank, and it is not bad to take it home to use as scratch paper for their children.

But what they never expected was that the teachers in the school were also strongly recommending "HKU Question Bank"!

Sham Shui Po Lion Rock Government Primary School, in the six-year class.

A teacher in his thirties lifted his frame and said to the whole class: "You are about to face the most important moment in your life, and being admitted to a good middle school will be of great help to you in the future, whether you can study at the University of Hong Kong or the University of Chinese depends on your efforts this year!"

Speaking of this, the teacher swallowed his saliva, coughed, and continued: "For the sake of your study, the teacher specially found a few good extracurricular tutoring books, all of which are high-quality tutoring books compiled by professors and teachers of the University of Hong Kong. ”

went around in circles and didn't say a key point, and the students couldn't understand what the teacher said.

"Ahem, that's right, the tutorial book is very good, so I hope everyone can buy a copy, which will be of great help to your learning, and the teacher will also explain the relevant content to you in class, and it will be much easier to apply for the novel secondary school next year." ”

The teacher hesitated for a long time, he still couldn't speak, but when he thought of the division of each book, he still gritted his teeth and said: "A tutoring book costs ten yuan, three books are thirty yuan, of course, this is a voluntary purchase, there are students who are willing to buy, you can sign up at the class leader after class, and then the class leader will hand over the list to the teacher, and the teacher will help me buy it uniformly, and maybe there will be a little discount." ”

This scene appeared in many government schools in Kowloon.

At first, many teachers were difficult to talk about, but after the students went home and discussed with their parents to agree to spend money on the books, they watched more and more students buy the tutorial books, and the rebates became higher and higher, and they worked hard to sell the books.

At the same time, they also found a reason for their uneasy heart, that is, these tutorial books are indeed genuine, whether it is mathematics, English or Chinese, all compiled by well-known professors and lecturers at the University of Hong Kong, and each tutorial book also comes with a complete set of test papers, which can be said to be quite affordable.

Within a few days of the opening of the school year, more than 300,000 copies of the various types of tutorial books were sold, with the sixth grade buying the most and the first grade buying the least.

This is also expected by Huo Yaowen and Wu Liande, after all, the sixth grade has reached the threshold and is about to be admitted to middle school, so parents are naturally willing to spend money to buy it.

And a tutoring book is ten yuan, three thirty yuan, although a little expensive, but unless the family is really poor and can't open the pot, otherwise they can afford to buy, plus this year Kowloon has exempted all kinds of tuition and miscellaneous fees textbook fees, thirty yuan for parents, as long as they can let their children study seriously, it is a small meaning.

More than 300,000 copies, 10 yuan per volume, excluding various labor costs and rebates to the school's teacher director, the publishing house can probably make a profit of 5 yuan, and 300,000 copies is a full 1.5 million!

When Huo Yaowen saw that this sales were profitable, he was still a little incredulous, although he had long known in his heart that it was a huge profit, but when 1.5 million really appeared in front of him, he was still a little shocked.

This is only the sales of the first few days of school, if you wait for half a month, the students who did not buy it will inevitably clamo for the people in the family to buy it when they see the students who bought it learning the knowledge of the question bank there, and the teacher helps to explain it.

After the University of Hong Kong Press made a profit, Fok Yaowen took a day off to visit Sir Zhou Xinian in the Mid-Levels villa area, ready to discuss with him about the bursary fund that had been negotiated before.
