520 [Confident Lin Xingzhi]

"Why did Tingting leave?"

Anna walked out of the kitchen with a plate of cut watermelons, and just saw the back of Huo Tingting opening the door and going out, and turned her head to look at Huo Yaowen with a confused expression.

"She's in a hurry to get back to drawing comics, and leave her alone. Huo Yaowen casually picked up a piece of red watermelon from his wife's hand and ate it.

"Drawing comics? Didn't she bring you comics to see? Why? Bad drawing?"

Anna put the fruit bowl on the table, glanced at a stack of drawings next to it, and took it in her hand to look at it.

There are not many pages, and it's a comic, and Anna finished reading it in three or two clicks.

"I think it's okay. ”

Huo Yaowen ate a piece of watermelon in three or two bites, picked up another piece casually, and said: "It's okay to draw, but the storyline is too poor, I asked her to paint "Antarctic Love" and the book "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" written by Wanjun before, so she was in a hurry to go back to read my book." ”

"When will your book "Antarctic Love" be published?"

"It's November, and I need to prepare for publicity recently. ”

The book "Antarctic Love" is another love book written by Huo Yaowen after "Rouge Buckle" written four years ago, originally he wanted to publish and distribute it casually, but Yao Wenjie did not agree, saying that it must be well publicized.

It is necessary to carry out large-scale propaganda not only in Hong Kong, but also in Taiwan, Macau, Nanyang, and even Japan and South Korea.

To this end, Yao Wenjie contacted Taiwan's Aoki Publishing House, Japan's Kodansha, and South Korea's Seoul Publishing House, and took the lead in translating Japanese and Korean translations before they were published in China, and when they were published together, they would strive to sell more than 1 million copies in one day!

For the sake of this goal, the publication and distribution date has been delayed again and again.

"Sell a million copies in one day? Editor-in-chief Yao is very ambitious. ”

Anna's eyes couldn't help but widen, selling a million copies a day, even Huo Yaowen's most famous "1999" has never broken a million copies in a day.

Huo Yaowen smiled and wiped his wet palms, wrapped his arms around Anna's waist, leaned in front of her and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that selling a million copies in a day isn't too much. ”

Anna shook her head, she didn't believe that Huo Yaowen's book could sell well, but it was a bit exaggerated to sell a million copies in one day.

Huo Yaowen leaned on the sofa, thought about it seriously and said: "Although one million is indeed a lot, it is not necessarily, I estimate that there are at least 200,000 copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan alone, how can there be 100,000 copies in Nanyang countries, and Japan and South Korea, two countries with relatively large populations, still have 500,000 or 600,000 copies." ”

Hong Kong and Taiwan have already cultivated a large number of readers of Fok Yaowen's love, although the book market in Nanyang has only expanded in recent years, but according to the past sales, his books are also selling well there, especially "Rouge Buckle", which is set in the thirties, and sells best in Nanyang.

In the book markets of Japan and South Korea, although most of them are sold with Huo Yaowen's science fiction themes, there will be many readers who like to watch love.

Hearing him say this, Anna calculated, it seems that it is not a lot to sell a million copies in a day.

"Jingle Bell ......"

At this time, the phone rang, Huo Yaowen picked it up and listened, it was Grandma calling, she asked if tomorrow was the day of Xiaobao Kindergarten's freshman meeting.

"Yes, it's tomorrow. ”

"Then I'll get up early tomorrow and ask your dad to send me over to see my precious great-grandson and great-granddaughter go to school. ”

"I think Xiaobao must be very happy that you can come, she will perform and sing on stage tomorrow. ”

Huo Yaowen couldn't help laughing when he thought of his daughter going to sing the song "Country Road" on stage and rehearsing at home.

"Yes, Xiaobao wants to sing, then I'll listen to it tomorrow." ”

Grandma laughed happily when she heard that Xiaobao was going to sing.

……

Early the next morning.

Huo Yaowen got up early in the morning, changed into a suit of formal clothes, and after having breakfast with Anna in a hurry, he went out without hurry under the urging of Xiaobao and Xiaohu, and the family drove to Gende Garden Kindergarten, which is not far from Kowloon Tong.

"This kindergarten is good, and there is an activity hall. ”

Huo Chengcai looked at the environment of the kindergarten and found that the school seemed to be much better than he imagined.

Grandma looked at the small playground around her, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's pretty good, I didn't expect even kindergartens to be so good now." ”

Huo Yaowen, who followed behind the two, listened to this grandma and his father chatting about the environment of the kindergarten, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, the tuition fee for a year, including lunch, is more than 10,000 yuan, which is more expensive than the university fee in Hong Kong, and the environment will naturally not be bad.

"Mr. Huo?"

Suddenly, an uncertain voice came from behind him.

Huo Yaowen turned around and saw a middle-aged man he didn't know staring at him, and couldn't help but look at him with puzzled eyes.

"It's really Mr. Huo!" The man seemed to be a little surprised to see Huo Yaowen in the kindergarten, and politely stepped forward, took out a business card from the inner pocket of his suit, handed it over and introduced himself: "Lin Xingzhi, editor-in-chief of the Contemptible Letter." ”

Hong Kong Journal?

Huo Yaowen glanced at the business card, looked at the appearance of the person in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and then remembered that this person was not Lin Xingzhi, who would be known as Hong Kong's No. 1 Jian Pen in the future?

As Hong Kong's first "Hong Kong Observer" focusing on finance and economics, it has always been the vane of Hong Kong's financial and financial circles since the 73 stock market crash, and has become a must-read newspaper for many securities managers, including shareholders and financial people.

Later, the Hong Kong Economic Journal, which also focused on finance and economics, was established, and the two newspapers competed.

Huo Yaowen said: "It turned out to be Mr. Lin, I have read your letter and newspaper, and the articles are all very good." ”

Lin Xingzhi waved his hand modestly, "Where, if you want to talk about financial newspapers, it is the Hong Kong Observer, but in recent years, our Hong Kong Economic Journal has been developing unabated, and it is only a matter of time before it surpasses the Hong Kong Observer in the future." ”

“……”

Huo Yaowen looked at Lin Xingzhi, who was modest on his lips and confident on his face, and thought to himself that he knew that the "Observer" was his own, how would he feel?

Well, "Hong Kong Observer" is Fok Yiuwen's industry, and not many people know about this matter.

"Mr. Huo came to kindergarten because his children were enrolled in school?"

"Well, Mr. Lin too?"

"Yes, my daughter is also enrolled today, and it seems that our children may be classmates in the future. ”

“……”

The two didn't know each other, and they had nothing to talk about, after a simple conversation, Huo Yaowen said a few perfunctory words, and then left with a smile.

Lin Xingzhi didn't keep it, but smiled and said that he would have the opportunity to go back to visit Huo Yaowen in the future, to which Huo Yaowen smiled and did not agree or refuse.

It didn't take long for the kindergarten teachers to come out and inform the parents that they could go to the auditorium to prepare for the orientation.

To put it bluntly, the kindergarten orientation meeting is a communication between parents and teachers, and by the way, take a serious look at the school's environment and educational ability.

The children's performances on stage are just selling cuteness and dancing some interesting little dances.

Before I knew it, after a few more performances, Xiaobao and Xiaohu also wore beautiful clothes and walked onto the stage with steps.

The two of them were going to perform and sing, and they were singing the song "Country Road".

As the tune on the record player sounded, Xiaobao's immature voice was transmitted through the microphone throughout the small auditorium.

The accompaniment was specially asked by Gu Jiahui after Huo Yaowen knew that Xiaobao was going to sing on stage, which was a little different from the original memory of the song, but it was mainly light and joyful, and there was nothing inappropriate.

If Qi Yu sings this song to miss the country life, then the singing by Xiaobao and Xiaohu, two three-year-old children, shows the innocence and cuteness of children.

Seeing her great-grandchildren singing cutely on stage, Grandma happily clapped her hands along with the tune, and turned her head to look at her grandson Huo Yaowen and said, "Xiaobao and Xiaohu sing quite well." ”

"It's very nice, and I'm going to make a record for them both later. ”

On the stage, Xiaobao and Xiaohu sang seriously, looking at each other, as if they were afraid of forgetting the lyrics, this cute look, Huo Yaowen's heart warmed.

"Records?" Grandma looked at her grandson in surprise, "Wouldn't they, they can make records at such a young age?"

"No, just make a picture and listen to it ourselves. ”

Huo Yaowen smiled, now that technology is not developed, there is no such good tape recorder at home, so he came up with the idea of making a record for his children.

Grandma said happily: "That's good, Awen, you make a few more pictures, give me one, and I can listen to Xiaobao and Xiaohu sing every day at home in the future." ”

A few minutes of a song passed quickly, and I don't know if this song is very good, or attracted by the delicate appearance of these two mixed-race little babies, and dozens of parents who came to the scene also applauded happily.

As soon as they got off the stage, under the traction of Anna, the two little guys hurriedly ran to Huo Yaowen's side, and asked Grandma if they sang well.

"It's good, it's good, it's all good. Our Xiaobao and Xiaohu sing the best. ”

Grandma looked at the cute Xiaobao and Xiaohu, happily picked up the two little ones, and kissed each of them on the face.
