Chapter Seventy-Six: The First Step of Ambition
The Nanchang counteroffensive was stalemate with the Japanese army, and the squadron could not enter Nanchang, so it began to attack the surrounding cities in an attempt to besiege the Japanese army. And the Japanese army is not vegetarian, both sides have suffered damage in the past few days, but on the whole, the losses are still relatively large, because of internal strife, military orders are not understood, and fighters are always delayed.
In Shanghai, Qian Li has been discharged from the hospital, and he is currently recovering very well, leaving no sequelae, and Zhou Min is gradually familiar with him, and he is not rejecting people thousands of miles away, which makes Qian Li very happy.
The two came to the newspaper office early this morning, and Zhou Min didn't have time to see how the newspaper was running recently, she still had high hopes for the newspaper, although she had been the shopkeeper herself.
"Bill, what's going on lately?" Zhou Min asked, sitting in Bill's office, taking a sip of coffee.
"Boss, recently the newspaper has been on the right track and has begun to make a profit, and our newspaper is selling very well, and it has become famous in Shanghai, and some schools in other provinces have come to the news that they want to join us. ”
"Oh, provincial school, what do you mean?" Zhou Min wondered.
"The Youth Student Newspaper is now famous, and many schools want to join us after hearing about it, and they hope to set up branches in Beijing, Wuhan, and Sichuan. This is my assumption," Bill took out a copy of the paper and handed it to Zhou Min.
Zhou Min read it carefully and felt that it was very feasible, at first she just hoped that the young student newspaper could appeal to the people to resist the war and donate money and materials through the power of the media. She had never thought of making it a national newspaper like Xiang Declaration, but Bill's words today shook her.
"If the Youth Student Newspaper can be launched across the country, will I have a certain right to speak and speak our own voice on behalf of the students, maybe I can get more. Zhou Min couldn't help but think in his heart.
"Bill, I very much agree with your idea, and I agree with your plan, do you have any suitable candidates?"
"I have contacted the student representatives of the Southwest Associated University and some of the student representatives who have not left Beiping by telegram, and they very much hope to set up a young student newspaper in Beijing and in the rear of the university, and at present there are several staff members of the headquarters who are very capable, and I will have them go to the rear and Beiping to set up branches, and I believe that in the land of this ancient country there will be all our newspapers in the future!" Bill became more and more excited, and his eyes burst out with unusual brilliance.
"Our newspaper?" Zhou Min muttered softly.
"Yes, it's our newspaper, Zhou Min, I decided to take the Youth Student Newspaper as my life's work, I thank you for giving me this opportunity, in the past few years in China, I have seen the charm of this ancient country, I want to stay, create my own career. Bill said firmly.
"Okay, Bill. Since you say so, I, Zhou Min, will treat you as my own, from today onwards, you are no longer the manager I employ, you are the shareholder of the Youth Student Daily, I will give you 10% of the shares, I hope you can make the Youth Student Daily blossom on the land of China. ”
"Zhou Min, don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it. Bill swore that in the past few years in China, he saw the world in the cold and cold, abandoned by the patrol room, he was like ashes, and felt that he was really miserable for a Cambridge top student to get to this point, but he didn't expect Zhou Min to give him a chance to be the manager of the newspaper and run the newspaper.
Bill remembers their schadenfreude when he appeared in a suit and leather shoes in front of his former colleagues in the patrol room, their envy, and their schadenfreude when he was dismissed from the patrol room. He really wants to make a career out of himself, and now that the opportunity is in front of him, he will not give up. What's more, there is still ten percent of the shares, he believes in Zhou Min and believes in himself.
"That's good, Bill. The newspaper will be handed over to you, thank you for the coffee, you can continue to be busy. I'm going to school. After Zhou Min and Bilgao said goodbye, they took a bus to the school with Qian Li.
After entering the campus, Zhou Min couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he had hardly studied since he went to school, and he was attacked twice in three days, or he went to assassinate others. Xiaoxue was originally a nurse and was very talented in medicine, but now she has become an honor student in school, but she can only do some basic bandaging.
"Zhou Min, you're here. As soon as Zhou Min arrived at the door of the classroom, a classmate greeted him, and everyone was very happy to see Zhou Min.
"Yes, I've fallen behind in a lot of courses, alas" Zhou Min is still very eager for medicine.
"By the way, squad leader, how about the donations and materials we organized" In fact, Zhou Min came today to learn about the situation.
"I've sorted out the list, I'm going to look for you in the next few days, Zhou Min, you take a look at this first. Li Chao, the squad leader, brought a list that read:
75,400 silver dollars
23,000 pounds of grain
10,000 quilts
2000 cigarettes
500 boxes of medicines
"These are sorted, although these materials seem to be a lot, but when they are transported to the front line, they are enough for a division, and most of the soldiers will still be underfed and clothed. Li Chao explained for Zhou Min.
"Hmm. I know, but we have already mobilized the strength of Shanghai, and it is not realistic to rely on Shanghai as a city to provide supplies for the entire squadron. Zhou Min couldn't help but sigh.
The people of Shanghai have donated a lot, almost every citizen is thrifty to support the anti-Japanese war, some tycoons have even donated planes, Du Yuesheng has donated, but many rich people in Shanghai have fled to Hong Kong and Macau, and now Zhou Min can't count on them.
"If only we could get other countries to donate some = money to us," Li Chao said to himself.
"Other countries" Zhou Min felt a flash of inspiration when he heard this, as if he had a clue, but he didn't catch it.
Zhou Min frowned and thought carefully, how can we get other countries to donate money to us? Suddenly, Zhou Min understood what she had not grasped the thought, in the 21st century, in the 21st century, where she used to live, there are often donations between countries, such as the Wenchuan earthquake, many countries have made humanitarian donations to us, so can she win the sympathy of foreigners and let them donate money to support China's war of resistance.
Newspapers are definitely not good, foreigners don't know Chinese characters, and it's best if videos can intuitively reflect the current situation in China, but how can there be videos in this era.
"Li Chao, you said that if we take some photos of the Japanese invasion of China and make a short film in the form of a movie, will it have a sensational effect, and we will send the short film abroad to win international support, what do you think?" Zhou Min told Li Chao about his immature thoughts.
"Well, I think we can, even if it doesn't work, we have nothing to lose, I think it's necessary to try. Li Chao supported Zhou Min's idea.
Zhou Min also felt that it was feasible, and after leaving the classroom, she came to the principal's office and told Principal Zhang what she had just thought.
"Zhou Min, your idea is very good, not only to win the sympathy of foreign countries, but also to show the world the brutality of the Japanese, and to win more supporters for our country. Principal Zhang looked at Zhou Min with a smile, and felt more and more that this son was not a thing in the pool.
"Headmaster, the materials we have collected can be transported to the front line, but how and when will they be transported, please give us a plan. Zhou Min said earnestly.
"You're right, the supplies are being retransported, and arriving at the front line early will make the soldiers live a little better. I will arrange the specific delivery matters, and this time I will go to the front line to deliver materials and call it the Shanghai Youth Student Condolence Group. Three days later, the condolence group will depart, and I will contact the relevant vehicle immediately. Principal Zhang said after a while.
After Zhou Min and Principal Zhang said goodbye, they came to a Western restaurant with Qian Li, and Zhou Min thought about things while eating.
Now that it has entered the stalemate stage, the devil's attack is not as sharp as before, giving ** a chance to breathe, and he must make good use of this time to strive for more resources to support the front line.
There are also newspapers, short films. Zhou Min felt that he was very busy, but he didn't have enough time.
"Minmin, what do you want?" Qian Li looked at Zhou Min in a daze, and felt that she was very cute now.
Zhou Min heard Qian Li's voice and looked up at him, seeing Qian Li's warm smile, Zhou Min felt warm in his heart.
smiled and told Qian Li about her vision for the short film.
"Minmin, I agree with you, but do you know any professionals in this area?"
"I don't know. Qian Li said to Zhou Min's heart.
"Hehe, you don't have to worry, I know one when I arrive, I'll go back and contact him, and introduce it to you when the time comes. ”
