The Cold War: Jumping back and forth between the two camps

Kurt's expression was a little awkward now. Dunn had reminded him before that he should pay attention to his main job and not always think about his side job.

But when the time came, he couldn't help but want to get involved.

In particular, he learned that the magazine was not funded by the CIA, which meant that all the profits belonged to Dunn.

This made Kurt feel even more excited.

"Mr. Klein! You know! My dream has always been to create a newspaper with good sales!"

"But this time we're going to start a magazine!"

Dunn looked at Kurt with a half-smile.

"Almost! I want to try my hand at management first!"

To be honest, Dunn has always been a little dissatisfied with Kurt, but after going through so many things, he found that Kurt is still capable.

Although Dunn is now nominally the person in charge of the Hong Kong region, in fact, he has not spent a very long time in Hong Kong these days.

Most of the time I'm just a hands-off boss.

During this period, the newspaper's business was basically handled by Liu Liyuan, while the intelligence business was handled by Kurt.

Kurt's work in this area was not particularly outstanding, but he basically stabilized Hong Kong's intelligence agencies.

This also made Dunn give up the idea of ​​replacing someone. You know, at the beginning he decided to apply to his superiors to replace Kurt after the situation stabilized.

However, the person who comes to be traded may not be as useful as Kurt, so keeping Kurt is also a good choice now.

"Mr. Liu and I opened the magazine together. It's not appropriate to add you in at this time!"

Dunn shook his head and rejected Kurt directly.

There must not be any problems on the magazine's side, after all, the mainland will also be involved in the future.

"But I can assure you that within one year at most, I will publish the English version of Hong Kong Metropolis Daily after this year, and you will be in control then!"

Troy was a little disappointed to hear that Dunn disagreed with his joining the magazine, because he knew the nature and subject matter of the magazine Liu Liyuan was going to run, and he saw how popular the novels were in the Hong Kong Metropolitan Daily.

It should become a big hit too.

However, since Dunn had agreed to let him publish the English version of Hong Kong Metropolis Daily, he felt relieved.

However, it may not be so easy for the English version of Hong Kong Metropolitan News to get off the ground. Although Hong Kong is now controlled by the British, the audience of English newspapers does not include the lower classes of Hong Kong people.

But it's better to have something than nothing, so Kurt nodded and thanked him.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Klein. I will definitely not let you down!"

Dunn nodded and stopped talking about this topic. He asked about the situation of the Hong Kong branch in the past few days.

Nothing major happened. It is now mid-May and after the mainland army liberated Hainan, there was no further action.

Tokyo did not put too much intelligence pressure on Hong Kong, and everything was running as usual.

After returning to the newspaper office, Dunn called Liu Liyuan again to learn about the recent situation.

The answer I got was basically the same as Kurt's.

Basically nothing big happened, and Liu Liyuan was methodically setting up his new novel magazine.

Several writers have been recruited, and the manuscript given by Dunn has been written. In addition, several freelance writers have been recruited but to no avail. Dunn has also written some things in his outline, which Liu Liyuan also gave to Dunn for his review.

Dunn first read the five outlines he gave, three of which had already been written, and The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber were put on hold for later writing.

After all, these two are from The Legend of the Condor Heroes. If the follow-up work of The Legend of the Condor Heroes is not completed, The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber will not be released for the time being.

Dunn was generally satisfied with the works written by the writers of Return of the Condor Heroes and Underworld.

However, in Dunn's opinion, the writer's level in the third volume of The Legend of the Condor Heroes was obviously not as good as that of Return of the Condor Heroes and Underworld.

It cannot be said that this person writes badly, but his level is far inferior to that of the original Master Jin.

In fact, even the Deer and the Cauldron written by Liu Liyuan does not have the same flavor as the original.

It doesn’t mean that Liu Liyuan’s level is not good.

However, Dunn did not say anything, because he really could not find any problems with The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

All we can say is that the work written by this writer is just average, but Dunn cannot reject this writer for this reason.

In addition to the three works for which Dunn has already written outlines, there are also the beginnings of six other works that can be read.

Before traveling through time, Dunn had also experienced the test of online literature for a long time.

He actually doesn't like the pace of novels in this era, but he also doesn't want future online novels to reach this era too quickly, as taking too big a step could easily lead to problems.

As things unfold step by step, many works from the online literature era are actually not suitable for this era.

Just the outline of "The Mafia Godfather Xie Wendong" makes Dunn's head big.

Because this work was originally written by Liudao, "How a Villain Was Made".

The content of the novel takes place in the mainland of the future. You certainly can't write it like that, so you can only forcibly move the background of the story to Hong Kong. But Hong Kong at this era is not as good as the mainland in the 1980s and 1990s of the future.

Therefore, this work has undergone relatively major changes.

This is the case with just one online literary work, not to mention other online literary works.

In the future, I can try to write a few outlines for fantasy and historical texts so that people of this era can take a look.

According to Du Shiwen, Dunn has made up his mind to give up on this classification.

However, the following works did not attract much attention from Dunn until he saw the beginning of the last work.

"The Book and the Sword", the few big words in the title quickly caught Dunn's attention.

I looked at the beginning of the book again and it seems to be very similar to the book "Sword" of later generations. Then I looked at the author's name - Jin Yong.

This is meeting the real person!

Dunn was a little amused. It seemed that Master Jin had arrived in Hong Kong in 48, but Dunn was not familiar with his specific life experience.

But Dunan knew that his first novel was this book, The Sword and the Vengeance, but he was not sure in which year it was published.

“This novel is interesting!”

Dunn read the beginning of The Book and The Sword carefully. He had actually read the original novel, but his impression of it was not very deep. However, The Book and The Sword, which came out at this time, was somewhat inferior to the later The Book and The Sword, after all, this was published by Master Jin a few years earlier.

"Yes, I also think this young man has a bright future!"

Liu Liyuan also nodded repeatedly.

He really thinks highly of Jin Yong. In fact, he put this novel first, but Dunn wanted to read the three-hour outline he originally gave, so he put this novel aside for the first time. In this way, the first novel Dunn read was "My Fair Princess", which was placed in the second book.

"That's right, young man, let's stay!"

When Master Han Jin was a young man, people had a strange feeling that when he traveled through time, Master Jin had just passed away.

In terms of age, he is much older than me.

But Master Jin of this era is really just a young man.

But he brought out the beginning of The Legend of the Condor Heroes again.

"I'm not very satisfied with this version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Why don't you let this young man write it and give it a try?"

Liu Liyuan nodded first and then asked.

"Should Jian continue to let him write this book?"

"Let's continue with it! At worst, we can give him a raise and let him try to write in two different offices!"

Of course, if I remember correctly, this seems to be the third work of Master Jin, and there is a Sword of Royal Blood between it and The Book and the Sword.

Let Master Jin practice with these two books first, and he should be able to cultivate it quickly.

"Okay! I'll go talk to him when I get back!"

Dunn actually wanted to meet Master Jin, but after thinking about it, he held back and didn't go.

Now he really has no reason to meet him!

It would not be too late to meet Master Jin after he becomes famous.

"Have a good talk with him. Now is the time for young people to strive for success!"

Liu Liyuan felt that what Dunn said was a little weird.

Because in terms of age, it seems that Dunn is younger than Jin Yong, but he is called a young man.

However, Europeans and Americans do look a bit anxious. From the outside, although Dunn looks handsome, he is still a little mature compared to Jin Yong's appearance.

"Mr. Liu, you've worked so hard. You have three responsibilities on your shoulders now. Not only do you have to run the newspaper and the future magazine, but you're also writing The Deer and the Cauldron! If that doesn't work out, you can find an assistant at the magazine!"

Dunn suggested.

An idea suddenly occurred to him that it seemed that William McEdward's sister, Ree McEdward, was studying journalism.

This time I came to Hong Kong to familiarize myself with Chinese, and by the way, find a job in the Xiangjiang area and live there for a few years.

It seems possible to transfer her to the magazine company and keep a close eye on her.

Dunn actually wanted to see if this woman had any other purpose in coming to Hong Kong, after all, his brother was a senior CIA agent.

"Mr. Du, do you have any personnel suggestions?"

Liu Liyuan immediately understood what Dunn meant and asked him if he had any suitable candidates.

"The sister of one of my colleagues is coming to Hong Kong to live for a while soon! She is the head of our San Francisco branch and her position is much higher than mine, so I have to curry favor with her! I just found a job for his sister at the magazine, let's see if his sister can adapt!"

Dunn was not shy about talking about Liu Liyuan.

Liu Liyuan just nodded silently. Since he was the family member of a CIA agent, he had to be careful in dealing with him.

Fortunately, Liu Liyuan from the magazine did not plan to recruit too many of his own agents to join.

I'm not afraid that this CIA agent's sister might do something weird.

"I understand. I will leave the position of deputy editor-in-chief to her!"

Liu Liyuan gave his own arrangements, but Dunn simply shook his head.

"No, don't give her this position!"
