Chapter 241: Collapse?
Deep City. Southern Morning News.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Jie took Guo Yang back to the newspaper office, back to the business hall of the news department, Guo Yang found that most of the reporters had returned, but the work process of this southern newspaper was very different from that of the northern morning newspaper, and all the reporters had uploaded their own manuscripts back before returning to the newspaper.
In other words, Zhang Jie's people have not yet returned, and the manuscript she wrote about green rice has already reached the desk of the director Anna.
And Anna's day's work is to review and schedule. Of course, if she was asked to review so many manuscripts alone, she would not be able to complete the task if she was exhausted, and she also had two deputy directors and a review team under her, which was equivalent to a small department within the Department of Public Information.
For the matter of green rice, it is obvious that the Southern Morning Post has received a very good commercial penetration from the merchants, in addition to the formal advertising investment, there is also the expenditure on the publication of advertorials like Zhang Jie, which is estimated to be not a small amount.
Guo Yang knew that it was useless for him to oppose it, except for offending people, it had no effect.
Guo Yang could only remain silent.
They came to the Southern Morning Post to learn from the experience, not to work with others. This kind of exchange of interests between commercial capital and news is nothing new, especially in economically developed cities, Guo Yang knows it well.
But Zhang Jie's manuscript about green rice was unexpectedly ranked by Anna in the headline position of the second page, and there was not only Zhang Jie's manuscript on the entire second page, but also different forms of image advertorials written by two other reporters, including an exclusive interview with the boss of the green rice marketing company, and a so-called in-depth investigation of the market. All in all, the second edition actually became a special edition of green rice. The other two inconspicuous social news stories are hidden in the corner, and it is estimated that no one will pay attention.
Zhang Jie got the sample and threw it to Guo Yang: "Director Guo, help me proofread, I'll go out and do something." ”
Guo Yang looked at the entire layout, his brows furrowed. Zhang Jie's unsparing praise and false propaganda of green rice have touched the bottom line of the news in his opinion.
Of course, there must be advertorials, which is an important channel for print media to generate income. However, this kind of propaganda article involving food safety should at least follow the basic red line, right? This kind of misleading consumers and ignoring public safety is really outrageous.
He was hesitating and engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, Dongfang Jing, deputy editor-in-chief of the Southern Morning News, walked slowly from the other side of the corridor, and she saw Guo Yang who was looking at the sample at the desk, so she smiled and walked over and said: "Comrade Xiao Guo, how is it, are you still adapting? I just had a phone call with your President Zhao, and he told me that your business ability is very strong, and I hope to get a better and more comprehensive exercise with us!"
Guo Yang's heart flashed, he still couldn't get around his psychology after all, and decided that no matter whether it was useful or not, he still had to put forward his own opinions and suggestions to the Southern Morning News.
Guo Yang got up and said with a smile: "Mr. Dongfang, I just came back from an interview with Reporter Zhang and helped her proofread the next page sample!"
From the first draft to the final proofreading and finalization, the reporter himself completes the work, clarifying and refining the responsibilities and greatly improving work efficiency. In contrast, the Northern Morning Post also adopts the method of full-time proofreading and centralized and unified review.
Dongfang Jing smiled: "It's good, you start running around first, get used to our work rhythm, and I'll help you adjust the internship position according to the situation in a few days!"
Dongfang Jing means that Guo Yang and others will start from grassroots reporters running news, and then slowly adjust him to the corresponding news management position, which is also the training plan agreed between Zhao Guoqing and Dongfang Jing to train Guo Yang in multiple positions.
Guo Yang hesitated slightly, then pointed to the sample of the second page of the Southern Morning Post that will be published tomorrow on the table: "Mr. Dongfang, there is something I don't know if I should say or not." ”
Dongfang Jing raised her eyebrows: "If you have something, just talk about it, it's okay." ”
Guo Yang took a deep breath: "Mr. Dongfang, I have some different opinions about green rice. ”
Dongfang Jing was surprised: "What's the matter? Recently, this kind of high-tech bamboo fragrant rice has been very popular in Shenzhen, and I am also eating it at home......
Guo Yang smiled bitterly: "Mr. Dongfang, this so-called green and natural bamboo fragrant rice is actually dyed with chemical raw materials, and the raw materials are ordinary Northeast rice, which is harmful to the human body if taken for a long time.
Dongfang Jing frowned: "Comrade Xiao Guo, you can't talk nonsense." According to my understanding, this company has market access issued by the ministry and the patent project of the Academy of Sciences, which has been tested and demonstrated by the relevant departments, which is an important research topic to fill the food category in China. ”
Guo Yang said in a deep voice: "Mr. Dongfang, in fact, this kind of green rice scam has been exposed in our northern province...... It is impossible for them to have a market access certificate from the food inspection and quarantine department, let alone a project demonstration of the so-called Academy of Sciences, which will sooner or later be recognized by consumers, and once the food supervision department exposes it, our newspaper will become very passive. ”
Where can Dongfang Jing believe Guo Yang's words, even if she believes it, she can't make a decision easily. Because businesses have invested too much advertising money in the Southern Morning News, which is related to the economic interests of the Southern Morning News, how can it be said that it will be canceled?
Dongfang Jing quickly lost interest in continuing to discuss green rice with Guo Yang, she smiled and patted Guo Yang on the shoulder: "Xiao Guo, food supervision is not something that our media can do, since they are listed in large quantities, it means that they have been marketed, even if there is a problem with exposure in the future, it is a dereliction of duty by the relevant departments, and it has nothing to do with us!"
"Besides, this kind of green rice tastes really good, I eat it every day, but I have experienced it firsthand. If, as you said, it is impregnated with chemical raw materials, then how can people not find out about it when they wash it every day? Consumers are not fools, so how can they buy bad things at a high price?"
Guo Yang sighed in his heart, if domestic consumers are really rational in consumption, they will not be able to press the gourd for all kinds of fools and scams in the market.
But this kind of thing, as long as he says it, it will be considered to be his heart. As for whether the Southern Morning News listens to it or not, that's the other party's business.
Guo Yang sighed and sat down, but the moment he looked up, he saw Anna and Zhang Jie standing in front of him with gloomy faces.
Obviously, the conversation between Guo Yang and Dongfang Jing fell into the ears of Anna and Zhang Jie.
In Guo Yang's eyes, he is making a suggestion based on his journalistic conscience, but in Anna's heart, this is an unscrupulous accusation behind his back and a small action of making bad moves.
Anna angrily reprimanded: "Guo Yang, what do you mean? What nonsense are you talking about in front of Dongfang Zong? Why do you say that green rice is a scam? You have only been here for a day, what do you know? What evidence do you have?"
Zhang Jie was also angry: "Guo Yang, how can you do this? If you have an opinion, just tell me in person, why do you sue in front of Dongfang President behind your back?"
Guo Yang froze: "Director An, reporter Zhang, I'm just seeking truth from facts, putting forward questions and suggestions, as for whether you listen or not, that's your business." ”
"Evidence! Without evidence, why are you chewing the root of your tongue behind your back?" Anna's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and many reporters in the hall looked up.
Anna's reaction was too violent, which surprised Guo Yang. Later, Guo Yang learned that the advertising project of Green Rice was brought by Anna's newlywed husband, Sheng Tao, deputy director of the advertising department of the Southern Morning News, which was not only related to Sheng Tao's advertising revenue commission, but also related to Sheng Tao's work performance, which was the key to his transformation into the director of the advertising department.
"Director An, should there be a corresponding inspection and quarantine certificate from the food safety department and the industrial and commercial department for this kind of commercial promotion? In the past, our northern province once exposed this kind of green rice, and it was a scam from beginning to end! You don't hedge against me to get angry, I am completely kind and goodwill, if you insist on not listening, then continue to publicize, and I have nothing to do with a dime!" Even if it is a soil man, there is still a three-point fire, not to mention the arrogant Guo Yang.
Guo Yang's retort was neither humble nor arrogant, which made Anna even more angry: "Shut up! If you talk nonsense again, you will go back to the north!"
Guo Yang frowned, his eyes swept Anna coldly, Huo Ran got up and walked away. He came to the Southern Morning Post to learn from the scriptures, but he didn't come here to be angry, this girl has such a violent temper and such a perverse personality, she can't hear the slightest disagreement, and Guo Yang doesn't bother to pay attention to her anymore.
Guo Yang walked away, and Anna's shrill hoarse roar came from behind him: "Get out!"
……
The breakdown between Guo Yang and Anna soon spread to Lin Meimei and the four of them, and it also directly affected the internship of the four of them.
Guo Yang didn't expect that Anna's heart would be so narrow-minded, and she would be angry with the entire study team of the Northern Morning News because of yesterday's incident, and she would stop all the internship positions of Lin Meimei and the four.
Guo Yang expected that he would be "suspended" by Anna, but he really didn't expect that it would affect Lin Meimei and them.
Whether or not he can practice in the Southern Morning News is dispensable for Guo Yang. Anna is like this, he just took the opportunity to inspect the market in Shencheng, and confirmed with Shen Xiaoman the establishment of a branch of Ai Bing Group in Southern Province. However, Anna announced her personal vendetta and unilaterally terminated the business exchange and cooperation activities between the Northern Morning Post and the Southern Morning News, which directly angered Guo Yang.
And to be honest, he didn't expect that a middle-level cadre in the Southern Morning Post would have such power and authority.
This exchange and learning activity between the two newspapers was led by Zhao Guoqing and Dongfang Jing, Dongfang Jing is the deputy editor-in-chief of the Southern Morning News anyway, Anna even disregarded Dongfang Jing's face, which is indeed beyond Guo Yang's imagination.
