As the article about "IVF" published by Science Magazine continued to ferment throughout the UK, the interviewed biology and genetics expert Steptoe contacted the people of Thames Publishing Company as soon as possible, trying to find Huo Yaowen to ask more about what his fantasy of "IVF" was, but was ruthlessly told by the other party that Evan is no longer in the UK at present.

This Stepto is also a stubborn person, after learning that Huo Yaowen was not in the UK, he asked someone to contact Litu of the Egyptian Clerk's Company, and found out Huo Yaowen's address in Hong Kong from him, and bought a ticket to take the latest flight on the same day, ready to leave for Hong Kong to find Huo Yaowen.

And on the other side of Hong Kong.

Huo Yaowen was sitting in his office at this time, drawing up a list of wedding invitations.

"Chen Fan, Liang Yusheng, Zhang Menghuan, Jin Yong, Yishu, Li Hanxiang, Zou Wenhuai, Ming Zai, Luo Qiaozhen, Luo Cheng, Lin Xiaotang of Kyushu Magazine, Yao Wenjie of Yaowen Books, Yan Qingshu of HKU Press, Director Huang of HKU, Teacher Zhang, Fu Zheng, Vice President of the Federation of Teachers and Workers, Gu Hong, President of the Association for the Development and Promotion of Martial Arts Culture, ......

"That seems to be all there is to Hong Kong. ”

Huo Yaowen looked at the dozens of names on the paper, and confirmed again and again, almost everyone who had always had a good relationship with him was there, and then he added the names of "Huo Guantai" and "Zhou Xinian".

"People who live in Taiwan include Gu Long, Wo Longsheng, Shangguan Qingyun, Zhuge Qingyun, Fang Zhengde, Tong Changzhe, Zhang Ailing, ......"

Halfway through writing, Huo Yaowen touched his chin, suddenly thought of Qiong Yao, and when he was thinking about whether to invite, he still decided to send an invitation card over, no matter whether the other party came or not, it could be regarded as a cooperation once, although it was a little unpleasant because of Wanjun's matter before, but later people took the initiative to apologize, and he was not a careful person.

The name of "Qiong Yao" was added to the invitation card of Taiwanese guests.

After writing about the guests from the two places, Huo Yaowen took out a piece of paper separately and wrote Nie Hualing, her husband Mr. Paul, who had settled in the United States, and Mark of Bantan Books.

There are not many friends in the United States, Huo Yaowen finished writing in three or two clicks, but he suddenly thought of the science fiction master he bet with, and muttered to himself: Do you want to invite Mr. Isaac Asimov?

"Forget it, it's only a one-sided relationship, and I'm afraid I'm afraid I've forgotten about it a long time ago. ”

Huo Yaowen smiled, crossed out the name, and wrote the name of George Lucas, after all, the "1999" he invested in According to the people of Twentieth Century Fox, it will be released in October.

After writing the list of invited guests from the United States, Huo Yaowen took another look, and after confirming that there was nothing left, he was about to continue writing, when he saw the name of Isaac Asimov that he crossed out, thought for a while, and finally did not add it.

If it was Mr. Tolkien of "The Lord of the Rings", he would definitely not be so entangled, that old man can be said to have helped Huo Yaowen a lot, not only gave a lot of medieval European materials, but also helped promote "Game of Thrones" in the newspaper, which can be said to have helped a lot.

It's a pity that this old man, like Mr. Bao, passed away last year, when Huo Yaowen had just attended Mr. Bao Tianxiao's memorial service, and after a while, he went to the United Kingdom to attend Mr. Tolkien's funeral.

After all the writing was done, Huo Yaowen looked at the dense names on a few pieces of paper in his hand, roughly counted them, and couldn't help exclaiming: "My God, there are so many people!"

The guest list he drew up, not counting the British side, was about 200 people, which was too many.

Not to mention the only seven or eight people on the American side, the guests from Hong Kong and Taiwan are combined, and I am afraid that one plane will not be able to sit down!

"Let's cut it out a bit. Huo Yaowen thought about it and decided to eliminate some friends and partners who have few contacts in recent years, or can only invite each other in Hong Kong.

Like Fu Zheng of the Teaching and Labor Federation, Gu Hong of the Martial Arts Association and others, although they have a good relationship with Huo Yaowen, they are not the kind of people who must be invited. Besides, after the wedding in the UK in August, he will return to Hong Kong to hold a Chinese-style wedding banquet, and it will not be too late to invite him again.

After eliminating some, there were still more than 150 people, and seeing that there were still so many people, Huo Yaowen had to cross out the names of Director Huang and others again.

Although Nie Hualing, who settled in the United States, Huo Yaowen hadn't seen each other for two years, he still invited, on the one hand, the other party was far away in the United States, and if he didn't invite him to hold a wedding in the UK this time, he still had to invite the other party to Hong Kong to attend his wedding. After all, Nie Hualing has the grace of knowing him, and the first science fiction book "1999" written by his husband Paul was recommended to Bantan Book Publishing Company with the help of his husband Paul.

"And seventy-three!"

"Almost, huh?"

Seeing that there were more than 70 people on the final list, Huo Yaowen thought about it, and did not continue to cross out that person's name.

Because most of the remaining people are friends who have known Huo Yaowen for many years, or are good partners in current cooperation, such as Zou Wenhuai, Fang Zhengde, Luo Cheng and others.

Oh, and He Zuozhi, who promised to invite the other party before, and he didn't forget it.

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the office door.

Huo Yaowen shouted casually: "Come in!"

With a "click", Yao Wenjie pushed it away and entered.

Seeing that it was him, Huo Yaowen hurriedly said, "Editor-in-chief Yao, you came just in time, you come over to help me see if there is any left in the list." ”

"List?"

Yao Wenjie walked over inexplicably, took the list written by Huo Yaowen and took a look, good guys, dozens of people are densely packed!

There are also quite a few names crossed out.

After looking around, Yao Wenjie understood the boss's intentions, "General manager, is this the wedding list?"

"Well, you can help me see if there are any other people I have to invite. ”

"Probably not. Yao Wenjie smiled and said: "The general manager must have thought about it for a long time, I think there should be no one who must be invited." ”

"Well, you go out and get some invitations back later, remember to buy the best kind. ”

Huo Yaowen nodded slightly, he wrote out almost all of his friends, and the rest of the people need to go home and ask their mothers to see if there are any relatives who have a good relationship other than grandpa, uncle, and cousin, but I think it should be gone.

"Okay general manager, I'll go out and give instructions later. ”

Yao Wenjie agreed.

After putting the list away, Huo Yaowen looked up at him and asked, "Manager Yao, do you have something to do with me?"

"Oh, that's the general manager, I don't know where I learned that the general manager has written a new book, and I just sent a telegram to them, hoping to hand over the copyright of Japan to them as an agent. ”

"New books?"

Huo Yaowen was stunned for a moment, and then thought of "Jurassic Park", before he left the UK, Lilith did say that the book was about to be published, it seems that this should have been published for a few days, and the sales in the UK should be good, otherwise the Kodansha people would not be in such a hurry to send a telegram.

Dinosaur = monster, this should be the favorite of Japanese people, right?

"Yes, you can contact Litu specifically, he is in the UK, and he should know how my new book is selling. ”

"Good general manager. ”

After speaking, Yao Wenjie flickered and complained: "General manager, I don't even know that you are writing a new book, and it is too strict." ”

Huo Yaowen laughed: "I wrote this when I was in the UK, so I will publish it there first, you contact Litu and ask him to send the manuscript over, and you can find someone to translate it and publish it." ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door again.

"Come in!"

"General Manager, I just received a telegram from Mr. Litt. ”

The secretary He Qidi pushed open the door with a telegram and walked in, and found that Yao Wenjie was also there, and hurriedly said, "Editor-in-chief Yao." ”

Yao Wenjie nodded and responded with a "hmm".

Lito?

Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows, Litu sent a telegram at this time, it should be to report the sales of "Jurassic Park".

took the newspaper casually, and as Huo Yaowen expected, it was indeed a matter of reporting sales, with sales exceeding 500,000 in the first week, and praise from many well-known British newspapers.

In addition to these, to his surprise, there was actually a biology and genetics expert named Stepto who was very interested in the "test tube baby" mentioned in his book, and even flew to Hong Kong this morning!

This......

Huo Yaowen touched his nose, he just wrote it casually, so as to reflect how perfect the science of the future world in the book is, not only can he perform "test tube baby", but he can also clone dinosaurs, but he didn't expect that there was really an expert who was interested in this.
