Fan Wuxian received Sheng Wei who came to interview in the living room of the company's headquarters. and Richard, a professional writer for Time magazine in the United States, and his photographer who visited at the same time.

As a professional writer for Time magazine in the United States, Richard has become very familiar with the condensation of questions, and he knows that the American people are most concerned about those issues, whether it is a large aircraft project or a rare earth strategy, ordinary people will not care about these issues, so he asked Fan Wuxian a question that the American people are most concerned about.

"Mr. Fan, you have always been negative about the durability of the network economy, so how long do you think the popularity of the NASDAQ can be maintained?" At the end of his visit, Richard set out an important goal for his trip.

As an important force in the US economic intelligence community, the US "Time" magazine is also relatively unique in its analysis of the economic situation, so Richard, who has been tracking the economic situation at home and abroad for a long time, also believes that the madness of the NASDAQ is a bit unexpected, and its collapse is inevitable, but no one thought that the NASDAQ, which was originally estimated to have been seriously out of imagination in the middle of last year, is still on a crazy upward trend at this time.

This is a bit incomprehensible, so when he took the opportunity to interview Fan Wuxian this time, of course Richard wanted to ask. After all, Fan Wuxian is a legendary figure in the American financial industry, at least everyone in the circle knows something.

Sure enough, after hearing this question, Fan Wuxian hesitated for a moment, and then said to Richard, "At most, it will be three months, and the NASDAQ will definitely plummet, and it will fall all the way." ”

Richard got the answer he was most concerned about, and then asked the photographer to take a series of photos of Fan Wuxian, intending to choose the most perfect one to be the cover character for next month's Lunar New Year.

After sending Richard and the others away, Sheng Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is still some pressure to sit in the same room with internationally renowned writers. ”

Fan Wuxian smiled and asked people to pour her a cup of coffee, and then said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a difference in habits, which makes you feel that this person is a little unfathomable." In fact, if we look at China's national conditions alone, Richard sees that China is also a mess of black eyes. ”

"Only focusing on other people's strengths is the driving force for progress, why do you often encourage me to identify other weaknesses?" Sheng asked with a smile.

"That's right! It's about showing the other party's weaknesses! Fan Wuxi clapped his hands and explained, "As reporters, you must pay attention to problems that others can't notice, just talking about someone's bright side, readers are too lazy to look at it, you must dig deep into each other's weaknesses, dark side or something, this can attract readers, you know, most people's psychology." Basically, it tends to the dark side, although the mouth is benevolent and moral, the bones are male thieves and female prostitutes, and you can only make a successful media if you understand the ugliness of human nature. ”

Sheng Wei heard that Fan Wuxian was teaching her here, and she forgot to drink the coffee in her hand, and it took a long time before she took a shallow sip, and then asked with a frown, "Are you suggesting that I want to write a little more information about your dark side?" ”

"Oh, of course I can't say that, what a sunny person I am." Fan Wuxian wisely shifted the topic away, and then asked, "You seem to say that you want to ask some questions about rare earths?" ”

"Oh, there has been a lot of discussion on this topic recently, but most of them are vague, and we hope to get some more accurate information from Mr. Fan, who is in charge of China's rare earth industry." After Sheng Wei heard Fan Wuxi's words, he sat up straight and said very seriously.

Fan Wuxian nodded and replied, "I can talk a little bit more about this issue, but there are some situations that are not suitable for expression." After you've sorted it out, let me take a look at it, and I need to delete those sensitive topics. ”

"That's fine." Sheng Wei nodded and replied, she was very curious, what was the difference in the situation this time?

"This time the joint pressure of overseas countries on the rare earth issue is not an isolated incident." Fan Wuxian said to Sheng Wei first.

Sheng Weizhen listened, in fact, she probably also has some sense of identity, the birth of any event will not be isolated, there will definitely be a cause and effect, especially when this kind of major event related to international relations is made public, it is simply impossible to have a little insider trading.

It is precisely because of the existence of this kind of insider trading that the profession of journalists is full of challenges, and what they are most eager to do is to expose those unknown insider stories, and after satisfying the public's right to know, it also brings them the greatest reputation and benefits.

In fact, a journalist who only goes back to shoot some news that is appropriate to the situation according to the government's requirements is not worthy of the title of reporter, and the title of journalist should only belong to those journalists who have a conscience in their hearts and a sense of social responsibility.

"In fact, as a non-governmental media, there are some situations that are inconvenient for officials to report, as long as they are true or basically true, you can break the news-" This sentence is an important reason why Fan Wuxian is willing to accept an interview with Shengwei.

Although we are friends with a good relationship, Fan Wuxian is far from the point of fainting, yes, Sheng Wei is very beautiful, and she also has a temperament, but the temptation of the young woman who has just divorced is also amazing. But these did not allow Fan Wuxian to provide her with insider information that was not suitable for public.

"In fact, if you want to report something that no one else has reported, you tend to be under a lot of pressure," Fan said to Sheng Wei, "It's like the photographer Kevin who took that very famous photo, "The Vulture Waiting to Eat the Little Girl". Carter the same. ”

Sheng Wei nodded, as an industry insider, she naturally knew about it.

The picture of "The Vulture Waiting to Eat the Little Girl" shows a Sudanese girl struggling on the way to the relief station, about to fall to her knees with hunger, while the vulture is not far behind the girl, waiting to hunt the girl.

This photo made black photographer Kevin . Carter won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism in 1994, and he became an overnight celebrity for his photos. This shocking photo has attracted a lot of criticism and questioning. Someone asked why didn't the photographer help the little girl at the time?

When people inquired about the whereabouts of the little girl, unfortunately, Carter did not know. A few months later, Carter could not stand the pressure of public opinion, he committed suicide by using a hose to introduce car exhaust into the car, at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, people found a note he left on the car seat, which said really, really sorry for everyone, the pain of life is far beyond the level of joy.

That photograph clearly shows the reality of the Great 6 famine that swept Africa between 1970 and 1985, when a sustained drought disaster swept between Senegal and Ethiopia. This led to the most devastating famine in the history of the world.

At that time, Carter successfully drew the attention of the people of the world to the African famine because of this photo, and saved many refugees because of it, but he died early because of many people's doubts.

In fact, Fan Wuxian regretted Carter's death, as a black reporter, it was obvious that he did not have much ability to help the hungry refugees, all he could do was to do his best to awaken the people who could help these refugees, and in fact he also drove away the vulture.

As is often the case, people do not think about how to help the thousands of refugees who are struggling with life and death, but are embarrassed by a vulnerable journalist who has no ability but to use his camera to wake up attention to the Holodomor in Africa, and human morality is distorted at this moment.

"How to protect yourself. In fact, it is also an essential skill for being a journalist. Fan Wuxian said to Sheng Wei.

Sheng Wei nodded, and then asked, "Mr. Fan, you have been talking to me for so long, and you haven't gotten into the main topic yet, right?" What I want to know is, what exactly is this insider story? ”

"In fact, this incident is not only caused by the international community's concern about the decline in domestic rare earth exports, but also closely related to the large aircraft project we are planning." Fan Wuxian said to Sheng Wei.

"Closely related to the large aircraft project?" Sheng Wei suddenly came to his senses, this is something that has not been reported by other media.

"When the Y-1O project was about to succeed, the Americans were deeply troubled, so McDonnell Douglas sent a Chinese American to persuade the wife of a powerful person to take the lady route to take the Y-1O project down, causing our large aircraft manufacturing technology to lag behind for 40 years. It was, and still is, a successful crisis PR campaign. Fan Wuxian said to Sheng Wei, "McDonnell Douglas has won the market of China's big 6, and the US government has seen China's self-destruction of the Great Wall and discarded its self-developed technology, which can be said to be a great joy, and it is only the Chinese who suffer losses, and no longer have the technical ability to manufacture large aircraft, and have lost the foundation for continuing to open deeply." ”

Sheng Wei obviously doesn't know about this situation, although she has been in Shanghai for a long time, but she has never understood this matter, the official media obviously will not report this kind of thing objectively, except for some parties, there is no chance to know this kind of inside story, even if it is official, this kind of topic is also taboo.

"It's not a good thing to be a fool of His Holiness, and some officials who are subordinates have to look at the face of the Shangguan and act according to the Shangguan's thoughts, which is not a phenomenon that should exist in a modern country." Fan Wuxian said to Sheng Wei, "The reason why I chose to be interviewed by you in Shanghai instead of in Beijing is because I want to avoid all kinds of official or semi-official media entanglements and use entertainment and financial magazines with a relatively better atmosphere of press freedom." Say something. ”

"Are you sure it's not going to shut down our magazine?" Sheng Wei asked a little worriedly.

Although it is said that because of Fan Wu's illness, "Oriental News Interview" can often rely on Sheng Wei to get a lot of exclusive news materials, and its sales have soared, but Sheng Wei is also very worried that if it does a little out of bounds, it will be ordered to rectify by the news censorship department or directly put a seal on the door of the magazine, so it has to ask Fan Wu Xian first.

"That's not it, I'm not the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, right?" Fan Wuxian said with a smile when he heard this, and then he said solemnly, "This time, the companies that put pressure on the Chinese side on the rare earth policy are mainly American first-class industrial companies, including big arms dealers such as Raytheon, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin, and a common feature of these arms dealers is that they all produce aircraft projects, whether they are large transport aircraft or civil aircraft, they can be called leaders in the industry." ”

"Oh, that's it." Sheng Wei nodded, a little understood.

"The large aircraft project is aimed at civil aircraft activities, they are naturally inconvenient to entangle with the Chinese on this issue, so they think of an indirect way to difficult, after all, the rare earth policy is not only related to the interests of the United States, they protest, the European Union, Japan and South Korea and other countries will also echo, can increase their international influence." Fan Wuxian explained to Sheng Wei, "In this way, their goal has been achieved, once they have found a reasonable and reasonable demand, the Americans will have an excuse to meddle in the Chinese market, and finally through insider negotiations with the government, they will strive to mess up the large aircraft project again." ”

"It sounds like a very reasonable, insidious conspiracy." After Sheng Wei heard this, some of them said suspiciously.

Although Fan Wuxian's words are conclusive, from the standpoint of a news reporter, Sheng Wei still has to take a more cautious attitude to analyze the inside story of these intelligence, after all, as a responsible reporter, it is impossible to casually use those irresponsible remarks as the main argument of his article.

Sheng Wei was able to get into Fan Wuxi's eyes, and she was able to have her current status in "Oriental News Interview", which is also inseparable from her professional attitude, there is no doubt about it, so even what Fan Wuxian said, she needs to carefully analyze and summarize it, so that she can use it in her own articles with confidence.

Of course, Sheng Wei's caution, Fan Wuxi also agrees, a reporter without a sense of responsibility will only bring him a lot of trouble, God knows what those reports will be changed to after they are published? There are no pop-ups
