Chapter 16 Setting off a cannon on the rooftop

Standing on the rooftop of Shangri-La Hotel, you can see the night view of most of the city of Zhuzhou City. Although the city is not yet a "city that never sleeps", it is full of high-rise buildings, busy roads, and lights up like stars, which looks quite beautiful.

Wu Mian held the camera in his hand and took more than a dozen photos of Pan Jiaqiang in one go, which ended in less than a minute. Pan Jiaqiang politely thanked him again and was about to leave, but Wu Mian stopped him.

"Mr. Pan, I still want to ask you about the property market. Wu Mian said sincerely.

"Hehe, don't give up, young man. You're forcing me to jump into the pit. Pan Jiaqiang teased casually, but stood still.

Wu Mian's ability to observe words and expressions was first-class, and he immediately saw that he was not extremely firm in refusing, and his heart moved, and he blurted out: "How dare I force you, in fact, you yourself also want to let the media go." ”

"If I wanted to let the wind out, I'd be in the room just now, and I'll answer your question. ”

"There are so many people in the room that you can't talk freely in front of them, so you use the excuse that you want to go up to the rooftop to take pictures in order to talk to me about this topic alone. Wu Mian's eyes lit up and he said.

Pan Jiaqiang laughed: "Young man, you seem to be overconfident, don't you? I, Pan Cannon, dare to fire a cannon unscrupulously against hundreds of media, and how can I not dare to speak in front of a small newspaper like you, which has almost no influence? I just don't want to talk about it." As you should know, I haven't talked about the property market for more than a year. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if I really want to talk to someone alone, I won't find a confused little reporter, wouldn't it be better to find your editor-in-chief?"

These words were quite unceremonious and full of ridicule, but Wu Mian's eyes brightened, and he said in a very confident tone: "You did this on purpose! It is precisely because you have not publicly talked about the property market to the media for a whole year, and you have long been suffocated, and you want to make a voice from the bottom of your heart, but because of the pressure of some factors, you have great concerns, so you want to choose the most suitable media to vent, and our newspaper just meets your requirements." ”

"Oh, why do you say that?" Pan Jiaqiang asked quietly.

"Because number one, as you said, our newspaper has almost no influence, but that's our advantage. Bigwigs deliberately choose a media outlet that has no influence to spread the word, and sometimes it is better to achieve the goal. The most famous example is the Soviet Union's attempt to launch a nuclear strike against China in 1969, informing the United States in advance. The United States, out of strategic considerations, wanted to tell China this information, but the two sides had not yet established diplomatic relations at that time, so the United States decided to let an inconspicuous tabloid newspaper, HSD Star, reveal the news in the form of a scoop. As a result, the Chinese leaders saw that they were vigilant, and the Soviet Union could not blame the United States, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!"

"Hah, interesting. Pan Jiaqiang smiled, "Please continue." And second?"

"Second, our newspaper is a regular provincial publication, not a low level, and nominally a relatively professional business newspaper, not the kind of metropolitan newspaper or vulgar tabloid for small citizens. Your interview was published in our newspaper, which is quite a match for your status -- if you really want to find a Chinese-style "HSD Star Newspaper", you will definitely not be happy, it will be too cheap! Our newspaper with "status but no influence" is the best choice. ”

"Is there a third?"

"Yes, I would venture to guess you have another consideration that you can't speak. Wu Mian's gaze suddenly became very sharp, "After your high-level discussion of the property market is reported in the newspaper, if the trouble caused exceeds your expectations, I, a 'confused' little reporter, can be regarded as a scapegoat! You can just put all the blame on me, claiming that I misunderstood or misinterpreted your meaning." In this way, the risk is minimized. ”

Pan Jiaqiang showed surprise for the first time, and looked at Wu Mian carefully: "I'm curious, how did you guess this?"

"It's the words 'confused' that made me guess. Seeing that the other party did not deny it, Wu Mian couldn't help but have a good impression of him, "It's normal for you to look down on a little reporter, if you ridicule me as a 'nameless' little reporter, or an 'ordinary' little reporter, I won't pay attention to it." It's so strange that we're only meeting face-to-face for the first time, so why do you think I'm 'confused'?"

He paused for a moment and said lightly: "The only reasonable explanation is that before the interview began, when the waiter was making us tea, you used the excuse of checking the email, but you were actually searching for my name on the Internet to see if I was a seasoned senior reporter." You quickly found an apology statement published on the website of the "Zhuzhou Daily" in my name, and three mistakes were made in one draft! This makes you very happy -- in the future, if you need to shift the responsibility to me, the outside world will believe that you did not say the wrong thing, but that I, the 'confused reporter', wrote it wrong!"

"Finished?"

"And one last point, which I just thought of. You asked me to come here alone with you in the name of taking pictures, not only did you cleverly avoid the presence of a third party, but since you said that you were just taking pictures, and Mr. Yuan and they were in a hurry to write and listen to the recording, of course the voice recorder I put in your room would not be brought out. Since the conversation with you is not recorded now, even if I want to clarify it in the future, it is not a basis...... Tsk, you're amazing, you've calculated everything!"

"Reporter Xiao Wu, you are also very good!" Pan Jiaqiang cocked his thumb and praised, "I want to say I'm sorry, it's me who has lost my eyes, you are definitely not a 'confused' little reporter." You have first-class observation, eloquence, courage and analytical ability, and you will become a great journalist in time! Unless you leave the world of journalism and seek another career, you will definitely become the best great journalist!"

"It's over, Mr. Pan. Wu Mian smiled bitterly, "If you really don't talk about the property market tonight, let alone become a big reporter, even if you want to keep your job, it's not easy." ”

Pan Jiaqiang smiled slightly: "Aren't you afraid that I will turn my face and refuse to admit it after I finish talking, and put the responsibility on you?"

"Don't be afraid, I have full confidence in my writing! I will be in a good position and will not cause you trouble, so you don't need to ask me to be a scapegoat. ”

"Well, lad, I'm sure you won't let me down!"

Wu Mian knew that the other party was finally moved by what he said, and he took out a pen and paper in a cheerful mood to prepare for the record.

"What you just said is very right, I have been holding back my stomach for a long time about the prospects of China's property market and various policies. Pan Jiaqiang sighed and said, "I don't deny that last year I received 'kind advice', asking me to think about the overall situation and stop firing guns, so as not to affect the people's confidence in the regulation and control of the property market...... Oh no, you don't have to record this, just know it, don't report it!"

"No problem! Wu Mian seized the time to ask, "The reason why you are not allowed to fire the gun is because you are still not optimistic about the effect of regulation and control, and think that property prices will not fall?"

Pan Jiaqiang did not deny it: "Just look at the area of new houses started this year, the land price of the land auctioned by the local government, and the several reductions in the reserve requirement ratio...... All these data prove that it is impossible for property prices to fall! At present, the so-called 'price reductions' in some cities are simply 'fake falls,' and they are just a means of promotion by developers......

This time, Pan Jiaqiang really replied to the "cannon" style, and analyzed the current situation of China's property market and the pros and cons of various policies in detail. As for some so-called experts who have been singing about the decline in the property market for many years, he has continued to bombard them fiercely, criticizing these people for "only currying favor with the common people, but in fact selling his books." Although some of the views are quite controversial, at least there is not a single nonsense, and the performance in the previous interview is similar to the performance.

Wu Mian walked like a flying pen, trying his best to record Pan Jiaqiang's original words word for word. He also showed his skills, interjecting from time to time to directly ask the most core questions, and after a while, he recorded two large sheets of paper. Due to the tight schedule, although he still had many questions to ask, he still controlled himself and stopped at 10:40 a.m., ending this peculiar "rooftop visit".

The two returned to the presidential suite, and Qian Rou and Duan Yu had already left. Several managers of Yike told Wu Mian that the two of them had gone to the business center to catch up with the manuscript, and asked him to go over to meet him immediately after he returned. So after Wu Mian said goodbye to Pan Jiaqiang, he hurried to the business center.

Qian Rou and Duan Yu were listening to the recording while desperately rushing to the draft, and as soon as Duan Yu saw Wu Mian, he scolded: "What the hell are you doing?

"I not only took photos, but also dug out what I really wanted from Pan Jiaqiang's mouth!" Wu Mian was proud in his heart, and concisely retold Pan Jiaqiang's views on the property market.

Light and soft joy. Because there was too little useful content in the recording, she had already adjusted the plan and was going to fill in the layout with background information as much as possible, but she didn't expect Pan Jiaqiang to finally open his mouth, so that Wu Mian's original plan could be operated again.

But Duan Yu strongly objected: "It's too late! Look at what time it is? It's definitely too late in time!"

Light Rou was reminded by him, and her expression turned to disappointment.

Wu Mian said calmly: "It's too late." I'll write the main manuscript and the accompanying script for the interview, and you will continue to sort out the project introduction and a few other managers to say something, and then help me sort out the photos, and it will be completed on time at 11 o'clock. ”

"Don't be funny, it's almost ten forty-five now!" Duan Yu roared angrily, "The main manuscript and the accompanying manuscript add up to at least two thousand three hundred words, even if you are an immortal, it is impossible to write it in fifteen minutes!"

"In my dictionary, nothing is absolutely impossible!" Wu Mian said as he opened the computer's file.

"Xiao Wu, you have to have a limit to bragging!"

"I'm not bragging!" Wu Mian interrupted Duan Yu, "It's still the same sentence, do you want to bet or not? How about the loser giving up the memory card forever?"

"A word is a certainty!" Duan Yu's eyes flashed with excitement. He knew what it meant, but this time he was completely sure he would win. If you write 1,000 words in 15 minutes, maybe there is really a "super fast gunner" who can barely cope with it, but 2,300 words is absolutely and absolutely impossible to complete.
