"Jingle Bell ......"

The bell rang for the end of class.

Huo Yaowen said "end of class", and walked to the teacher's office with his textbook and teaching stick.

In half a month, he was absent from five or six classes, and when Huo Yaowen came back to class again, he was welcomed by a few girls such as Zhang Yingying and Xu Anhua.

Compared with the girls, the boys in the class are a little sad, after all, the previous teacher Isabel from England is really too good, and none of the few boys in the philosophy class don't like it.

Maybe it's because of Anna Isabel, there are often some people who come to skip class and peek.

A few minutes later, Huo Yaowen walked around and stepped into the teacher's office, and happened to see Anna Isabel sitting at the desk in the corner of the wall packing up something, and some male teachers nearby peeked at her.

Huo Yaowen thought about it, walked straight over and said, "Anna has been bothering you for half a month." ”

Anna-Isabel looked up and saw that it was Huo Yaowen, and chuckled: "It's okay Evan, it just so happens that I also want to adapt to the teaching at the University of Hong Kong in advance." ”

After speaking, she suddenly remembered the gift she received yesterday, and said with a smile: "By the way, Evan, I like the gift you gave me very much." ”

"It's good to like it. ”

Huo Yaowen smiled, what he gave Anna was a crystal necklace, with a drop-shaped crystal hanging from the slender silver ornament, and the style was very beautiful.

After a few more brief chats, he walked back to his desk, and when he sat down, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Mr. Zhang, who was teaching mathematics in the seat next to him, looking at him with an envious gaze, and finally gave a thumbs up.

Huo Yaowen, who was watching, smiled wryly.

"Teacher Huo!"

At this time, Uncle Wang walked in from the door, and after seeing Huo Yaowen, he hurriedly approached and said, "Teacher Huo, just now your family called, saying that there is something urgent to find you, and let you call back." ”

Emergency?

Huo Yaowen frowned, and hurriedly nodded, "Okay." ”

Then he went to the public phone in the office and dialed the public housing number.

The speed of answering the phone over there was very fast, and before Huo Yaowen could open his mouth, he only listened to Huo's father on the other end of the phone: "Is it Yaowen?"

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Huo's father asked, "Do you have a class the day after tomorrow?"

"Nope. ”

"Then you can go home early the next morning. After Huo Chengcai finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "Forget it, you don't have to come back, go directly to Canton Street in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon." ”

"What are you doing on Canton Street?" Huo Yaowen frowned.

"Didn't I tell you last time that I was going to attend the Fok clan association? I was just informed that the day after tomorrow, I would go to the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce on Canton Street in Tsim Sha Tsui, where would the Fok clan fraternity be held. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I know." When is the day after tomorrow?"

"It's going to be ten o'clock in the morning, but you'd better get there early, and I'll be there the day after tomorrow, and I'll be waiting for you outside the venue when the time comes. ”

"I see. ”

"Well, remember to dress formally, there will be a lot of clan relatives present, and I will also take you to get to know you, it will definitely be helpful to you in the future. ”

"Got it, old bean. ”

"That's hanging, remember to be there early tomorrow. ”

After saying that, the other end hung up the phone.

When he put down the microphone, Huo Yaowen squinted slightly and thought about the clan relatives coming the day after tomorrow.

Uncle Wang saw him put down the phone, walked over and asked, "Teacher Huo, is there something going on at home?"

Huo Yaowen smiled: "No, no, it's just a little thing, thank you Uncle Wang, I will take you a trip." ”

"It's okay, it's a little thing, it should be. ”

Uncle Wang grinned, revealing two rows of yellow cigarette teeth, and said, "Then I'll go back to Teacher Huo first." ”

"Well, thank you, Uncle Wang. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Uncle Wang smiled and waved his hand and left the office.

When he returned to his desk and sat down, Huo Yaowen didn't think about the affairs of the clan association, but pondered about the affairs of the publishing house.

At present, because Hong Kong abides by the British copyright law, there are almost no pirated books, and if a publishing house is opened, simply winning the printing qualification of the University of Hong Kong textbooks and books will probably be the same as the previous school, without any additional profits, and in the end it will not be able to continue to operate and have to close down.

However, if you can accept foreign submissions for book publishing like the publishing houses of Tsinghua University and Peking University, it is also a good choice, and with the signboard of the University of Hong Kong, there must be many people who are willing to submit.

In 1964 and 1966 respectively, the Special Committee on Education and the University Grants Committee were established, and more and more students from poor families were able to attend university every year.

And when I chatted with Mr. Zhang some time ago, I learned from him that Hong Kong Governor Dai Lintoe is preparing to implement mandatory six-year compulsory education in Hong Kong, and parents have to refuse school-age children in any way, although this bill is still in the plan, but Huo Yaowen knows that this matter will be officially implemented in two years.

As a result, the number of educated young people in Hong Kong will also grow on foot, and there will be a demand for all kinds of teaching materials.

If you buy a publishing house that has closed down, and in the name of the University of Hong Kong Press, find some teachers from the University of Hong Kong, or lecturers from major secondary schools and colleges to jointly plan an extracurricular tutoring book, I think it will be welcomed by countless parents.

It's just like the extracurricular tutoring books such as "Huanggang Question Bank" and "Three-year Mock Five-Year College Entrance Examination" that made every student miserable later.

After all, no matter the parents in that area, as long as they are Chinese, they all hope that their children can read good books and be admitted to universities.

And even if these tutorial books are removed, the publishing house can still publish some academic books as before, not only from the University of Hong Kong, but also from elite teachers, professors, and social scholars from Chinese University or other major universities in Hong Kong.

In addition to textbooks and extracurricular tutorials, publishers can also accept non-educational book submissions.

Whether it is essays, or all kinds of miscellaneous books, they can be published selectively.

Thinking about it, Huo Yaowen's thoughts gradually became clear.

When I thought of some key places, I was afraid that I would forget, so I took out the notepad on the table and began to plan and write slowly.

The first was to solve the problem of printing presses and staff, and the second was to apply to the university to buy a publishing house, and at the same time, it was necessary to keep the name of the University of Hong Kong Press as much as possible.

Writing this, Huo Yaowen frowned, he remembered Zhang Chengyi's words yesterday, the school may not be willing to sell the publishing house, and there seems to be nothing of value except for those old printing machinery.

After thinking about it silently for a long time, Huo Yaowen crossed out the purchase of a publishing house, and instead wrote about cooperating with the University of Hong Kong.

In Huo Yaowen's view, if you can cooperate with the school, in this way, with a cooperative relationship, you can use the name of the University of Hong Kong to name the publishing house, and at the same time, you can also use the prestige of the University of Hong Kong, so that some miscellaneous matters in the early stage can be easily solved.

The most important thing is that if you cooperate with the school, then behind Huo Yaowen stands the entire University of Hong Kong, including the senior brothers and sisters who graduated before, as well as the teachers and professors who used to work at the University of Hong Kong.

Many of those people are still struggling in all walks of life in Hong Kong, and in the name of the University of Hong Kong Press, all the people who are valuable to them are connected, which is a very, very good choice for Huo Yaowen, who does not have any connections at present.

It is also an opportunity not to be missed!!

The University of Hong Kong has a history of 58 years, and in these 58 years, too many teachers, professors, and students have come out of the school and gone into various industries, including members of the Legislative Council, chief executives, business elites, and some of them have become police officers after graduation, and they are now all in high positions.

Even if the students who have graduated in recent years have not made any achievements, they should not be underestimated, after all, a large number of high-achieving students who have graduated from the University of Hong Kong in the future will take over the positions of various government departments and become the new elites of Hong Kong.

As Huo Yaowen's senior brothers and sisters, these people may not be of much use under normal circumstances, but as long as he reaches a certain height in the future, he will inevitably have contact with these people.
