Chapter 375: Connections

Laura Louise stepped out of bed, walked over to William, took less than half of the cigarette from William's hand, and took a puff at the window, looking calm.

It was only in the next moment that a violent cough destroyed Louise's apparent composure, and when she turned around, she saw a smile on William's face: "You must have regretted your decision to run to the East China Sea." ”

"No, I don't regret it," Louise said with a complicated complex, but firm tone, "Many journalists can't even report a story that affects the situation in a kingdom in their lifetime, and I have already written a big news story that affects the situation in the world, and I don't want to do nothing and do other people's news all day long, and my own life is inconspicuous." ”

Louise then laughed at herself: "Are you still worried about yourself, you just became the Seven Martial Seas, and you protected me, aren't you afraid of offending the world government?"

"Your little crime is simply not worth mentioning among the cadre crimes pardoned by the previous Seven Martial Seas," William said disapprerovingly, "As long as you don't talk too much in the newspapers in the future, the world government won't embarrass me because of you." ”

"Don't you talk in the newspapers, don't you like my experience and want me to work at your newspaper?" asked Louise, a little strangely.

As early as when he was in the East China Sea, William expressed his appreciation for her ability and courage, and spoke out to win over.

It's just that Louise was still under the World Economic News at the time, and she was not interested in William's solicitation.

"I do need you to do me some favors, but not at the newspaper," William asked rhetorically, "or do you think you can build a new newspaper on your own?"

Louise certainly couldn't, she was smart and bold, but she was also self-aware, and it was not easy to start a newspaper from scratch.

William would never give up his grasp of the mouthpiece media, and he would rather lose money than ensure that his newspaper was distributed in the first half of the Great Voyage as it traveled to the cities and islands along the lines of the sea trains.

It's a pity that the newspapers that William originally controlled were not suitable for entering the great shipping route, on the one hand, their own development depended on being based on the East China Sea, which can be seen from the limitations of the name, such as "Donghai News", "Donghai Daily", etc., this kind of name is not only conducive to making the local people of the East China Sea close, narrowing the distance with local readers, but it also makes overseas people have little interest just by looking at the name.

In addition to the foothold and development inertia of the newspaper itself, the practitioners of the East China Sea were not familiar with the environment and atmosphere of the great shipping route, and they had no acquaintances.

In the media industry, there is no news, no matter how scheming and well-managed you are, it is useless.

And without connections, there is no source of news and intelligence that can be used as news, and a group of people from the outer seas who are blind to the situation of the great voyage, even if William, who is now the king of the Seven Martial Seas, provides protection and carries a large amount of money, it does not mean that they can run the newspaper well.

In order to open up the situation, William can no longer be as unscrupulous as he was in the East China Sea.

For the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, the East China Sea can be regarded as high as the Emperor of the Heavens, and there is no wind belt and the obstruction of the Red Earth Continent, so it is not easy for the people of the Headquarters and the World Government to pay too much attention to the East China Sea in the past, and when the news of the East China Sea reaches the Great Route, the information may also be a little delayed and distorted.

William did not hesitate to use all kinds of illegal and violent means to buy and suppress other competitors and spread sales for his newspaper, but this series of behaviors was not good for the Great Route, at least not as arrogant as the East China Sea.

After all, the headquarters of the Navy is located in the first half of the Great Voyage, and the center of gravity of the Navy is also here, unlike such a trivial matter as protecting Louise, the importance of newspapers is self-evident, and the Navy knows better, and has long been serialized in newspapers to promote their own image, even if they are taken in the title of William's Seven Martial Seas, they may not do anything blatantly, but from time to time they come out to add blockage and show their existence, it is enough for people to have a headache.

In addition, the large newspapers and periodicals of the Great Voyage, such as the World Economic News, are not those small characters in the East China Sea who were suppressed by William and had nowhere to redress their grievances, they have some connections with both black and white, so they can often obtain first-hand information and intelligence.

In addition to admiring her courage and action, William used to work for the World Economic Journal, and was used for a while because she was the first reporter to report her news in detail.

William's reward of one billion Bailey is the same as the matter of his Seven Martial Seas, although the navy has set the amount, but it has not yet had time to announce it to the public, and it stands to reason that only the officers and soldiers within the navy know about it.

But with the navy's leaky secrecy measures, and the fact that this matter itself is not classified information, many forces with access and connections have obtained this news, after all, pirates with a bounty of one billion are rare even in the great route.

Among the forces that got the news, of course, including the World Economic News, a major newspaper, Louise was able to tell William his latest bounty as soon as she saw him, and it was obvious that the people in the newspaper did not hide it from her.

That's why William said that Louise was heavily used by the newspaper after reporting her news for the first time.

And William said that Louise entered the cold palace, and Louise did not show too much suspicion about this kind of remarks after William revealed the identity of the Seven Martial Seas, which is also related to this.

Louise had personally been to the East China Sea and met with people who had interviewed William, and with a successful precedent, the credit for digging up big news for the newspaper, and the experience of surpassing her colleagues, Louise would probably be responsible for reporting about William, just as William was told to her by the newspaper about William's billion-dollar bounty.

In fact, the ambitious Louise had already prepared several drafts of the report during this time, and really analyzed the strength of William himself, as well as the things he had committed during this time, whether he matched the billion Baileys, etc., and only waited for the superiors to provide a suitable time, and then revised it, and then published it.

And William's becoming the king of the Seven Martial Seas can be said to be more sensational news than him becoming a pirate with a bounty of one billion.

The five old stars did not announce this matter because they had to communicate with various government departments, but it was already known to many people, and with the size of the World Economic News, it was easy to extract relevant information from the government secrecy system that leaked everywhere like the navy, but from beginning to end, no one revealed this matter to Louise.

Now that Louise knows William's identity, no matter how she looks at it, she thinks it's really weird.

William valued Louise's help in setting up the Great Voyage Newspaper because he knew or was familiar with many journalists in the World Economic Newspaper and even the Great Voyage, which was convenient for William to poach.
