Chapter 245: Professional Informant

At the same time, Lu Yiming, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling glass in the office and smoking, chuckled, turned back to Chen Dong and raised his eyebrows: "Look, what does it mean to be in Cao Ying's heart in Han, our Ma University reporter is the best interpretation!"

Looking down from the upper floor, you can just see the gate and courtyard of the group, and the picture of Ma Fei and Jiang Ruyun entering side by side and talking non-stop was also taken into the eyes of Lu Yiming and Chen Dong.

In Lu Yiming's view, this certainly has a profound meaning: "It's not surprising, people in the evening newspaper department have always been together, how can they not communicate with each other when they encounter this kind of big news?"

Chen Dong didn't think about it so much, and suddenly heard Lu Yiming's analysis, and he also chuckled in his heart: Yes! Yesterday's topic selection, Ma Fei can make a big exclusive, on the one hand, it is the instructions of his superiors, and on the other hand, it should also be for his own personal interests. But today is different!

After the news was exposed, all kinds of media were tracking and reporting, and it was difficult for anyone to easily dig up exclusive information.

"Hehe, with Ma Fei's ability, coupled with his relationship with the police, today's interview will definitely not be bad, and this girl from the evening newspaper will follow her, it seems that she has taken advantage of it!" Lu Yiming guessed to himself, "When the manuscript is published in the newspaper tomorrow, I guess the content of the two of them will be similar." Director Chen, what do you think?"

What is certain is that if Lu Yiming's guess is true, Ma Fei's behavior can be called hateful - you enjoy the resources of Metropolis Daily, but easily share the results with competitors, is this like a saying?

Chen Dong spread his hands helplessly: "But it's difficult for us to have evidence for this kind of thing, and we can't rule him!"

Lu Yiming deeply agrees with this: "That's right, but we can't be too passive! Since there is no evidence, why don't we take the initiative to create something?"

Chen Dong's heart froze: Boss, what are your clever plans? It sounds like you're going to let me carry it out again?

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Lu Yiming laughed: "Director Chen, don't be afraid, I won't embarrass you." I'm just thinking, Ma Fei is now beautiful, and he is still eye-catching with the people in the evening newspaper, but our old buddy is isolated over there, which is too chilling!

"For today's plan, only by finding a way to get He Sen active first and help him gain a foothold in the evening newspaper can we find a way to move on to the next step, what do you say?"

The leader's plan is always very profound, Chen Dong doesn't quite understand, but he can only nod yes.

"Coincidentally, Ma Fei just made a draft of criticism and supervision today, and I received another report here. Hehe, if the excavation is done properly, I don't think the influence will be worse than Ma Fei's manuscript! I'll give you the phone number of the informant, you can contact and find out, if it is appropriate, I suggest that it be handed over to He Sen to do, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for him!"

Chen Dong curiously took a business card, which was printed with the name of the informant - Yang Mingwei, general manager of Sitong Advertising Media Co., Ltd.

After receiving the order to return to the office, Chen Dong finished his work, and after listening to Ma Fei's report that day, he closed the door as soon as possible and solemnly dialed Yang Mingwei's phone.

After clarifying his identity, Yang Mingwei was very cautious, and asked him to call a reporter and go to a teahouse for an interview at nine o'clock tonight.

In desperation, Chen Dong had no choice but to call He Sen again.

On the other end of the phone, He Sen seemed to be sleeping soundly, and his voice was a little muffled. Chen Dongqi said: "Lao He, didn't you go to work today?"

He Sen muttered angrily: "I'm a senior investigative reporter in the department now, I wear a high hat, and I don't have to report to the office every day, but I don't have any resources in my hand, where can I find a manuscript?"

Seeing that his old subordinates were so aggrieved, Chen Dong's heart softened: "It seems that President Lu is right! Brother, you have paid so much for the newspaper, we can't forget you." At nine o'clock tonight, you come out, I have something important to explain to you......"

After nightfall, in a tea house box in the city center, the three of them met as promised.

Chen Dong finally got to see Yang Mingwei's true face of Lushan - this person, he had inquired in many ways before he came, and he was actually a professional informant.

In recent years, as major state-owned media outlets have carried out market-oriented reforms, driven by economic interests, the demand for high-quality leads has risen sharply. In order to attract external reports, various media have launched a rewarding reporting mechanism, and cash rewards are given to reporters according to the quality and influence of the final manuscript.

Since it is profitable, it is bound to become a business. Soon, many well-intentioned people became professional informants. They walk the streets and alleys every day, collecting clues like reporters, and even using technical means to listen to police and fire radio stations to "steal" clues about some emergencies.

And after fierce competition and primitive accumulation, some people have become the best of the best, and they no longer work alone, but have set up team companies, employing a large number of full-time or part-time people in various industries, and providing them with news clues for a fee.

In this way, they have become media in disguise, receiving and digging into many clues every day, from which they can naturally discover some fierce information, and then "deliver" it to the regular media in exchange for high returns.

Clearly, Yang Mingwei is one of them, and according to rumors, his company has even signed contracts with certain media outlets, and has the potential to change from a guerrilla force to a regular army.

Knowing Yang Mingwei's background, Chen Dong naturally didn't dare to slack off: this guy can get on the line with President Lu, he must still have some ability.

"Before I get down to business, I have a question for me. After some introduction, Yang Mingwei looked at He Sen and asked Chen Dong, "As far as I know, this reporter He is now working in the evening newspaper, and Director Chen, you are from Metropolis Daily, so I am going to sell double copies of this material today? Hehe, I speak more straightforwardly, don't be surprised by the two of you - the price gap between this exclusive clue and the shared clue is very large." ”

Chen Dong secretly sighed that this person was well-informed, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Yang misunderstood, I just helped He Sen pull a line today, and I vouch for my personality, this clue will only be handed over to him alone." As for the cost, hehe, we can talk about it separately in private. ”

Yang Mingwen's eyes rolled, and he quickly figured out the situation, and said with a smile: "I understand, Director Chen is going to give a big gift to Reporter He!"

Chen Dong smiled noncommittally, staring at Yang Mingwei's briefcase with some urgency. The latter laughed, and while reaching out to pull the zipper and pulling something out, he muttered: "Using this kind of heavy clue to give a gift is indeed a big gift!"

With a snap, a stack of thick materials was taken out of the bag and slapped in front of Chen Dong and He Sen, with a few big words printed on the cover - Tianyang Chemical's Illegal Pollution Discharge Investigation Report!
