"Kevin, didn't you say before that you were going to the front line of the Northern Expedition in Xuzhou for an interview?" The young man in a suit and leather shoes asked with a smile as he picked up his water glass. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The blonde and blue-eyed Kevin rubbed his faintly swollen eyebrows, and sighed: "It's been replaced, the experienced and Chinese-speaking Boardman replaced me with his beautiful assistant Miss Holis, and gave me an ultimatum before leaving, asking me to go to Jiangxi Province in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, a **** county called Anfu, within three days......"

"The purpose of my trip was to visit the tungsten mining area controlled by British capital, which is nearly 200 miles from the provincial capital, and I was also required to learn to read Chinese within three months, otherwise I would be driven to the South American bureau and stay with flies and diseases all over the ground."

The young man smiled again: "Didn't you travel around China for more than three months four years ago? I think your Chinese conversation is already very good. ”

"I only learned simple daily conversations, and I could understand no more than 200 Chinese characters, so I could learn the most complex characters in the world in three months, how could this be!"

Kevin sighed faintly, waited for the waiter to put the bread, ham and milk on the table, and looked at the young man who was preparing to eat on the opposite side again: "Dear Han, your name is really hard to remember, I can't read it accurately, Han Zixu, is there the word 'Han' in the surname of the hundred families?" ”

Han Zixu replied very seriously: "Although my surname is rare, this is an ancient surname, which means good, happy, and happy, which can be traced back to the Warring States Period two thousand years ago, and can often be seen among the Chinese in the eastern part of Guangdong Province and Southeast Asia......"

"My ancestors moved to Singapore from China."

Kevin had a hard time understanding an ancient surname that had existed for more than 2,000 years, shook his head helplessly, took a sip of the milk cup and drank it, wiped his mouth, and directly grabbed a piece of toasted bread with his hand: "I'll still call you Han, so that I can feel more relaxed, how long do you plan to stay in China this time?" ”

"I have resigned from Nanyang Press and intend to work as an independent journalist. Of course, I did not turn down the invitations of The Times and The New York Times, and for the next two years, I will be a special correspondent for these two newspapers to provide news articles on current affairs in East and Southeast Asia. ”

"If all goes well, maybe the New York Times will have a section on current affairs in Asia." Han Zixu replied calmly.

Kevin was surprised: "I thought you would be my colleague, but I didn't expect you to choose to be a lone ranger...... Oh yes, I almost forgot that you are a Cambridge graduate, and what you do best is interviewing politicians and analyzing facts, what are you going to do next? Which of China's most influential people did you interview? ”

Han Zixu thought about it, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, took out the "Oriental News" newspaper he had just bought, and slowly sent it to the desktop in front of Kevin:

"Kevin, please look at the headline on the front page of "Oriental News" today, the local army of the Kuomintang in Jiangxi Province has been defeated by the Communist army many times in just half a month, not only losing more than 5,000 officers and soldiers, but also losing two county seats!"

"This serialized battlefield documentary is very vivid and interesting, and the picture is vivid, which makes me have a lot of interesting associations, and my intuition tells me that I should go to the battlefield to see it."

"I have great admiration for your perseverance and courage, but the current news is in Xuzhou, in the two governments of the north and south of China, and in the hundreds of thousands of troops that are constantly gathering on both sides of the battle line......

"Small-scale wars in remote areas simply don't catch the reader's eye." Kevin truthfully stated his opinion, and then picked up the Chinese newspaper he couldn't read in confusion.

Han Zixu swallowed the last small half of the bread, picked up the glass and took a sip: "Kevin, aren't you going to Anfu County in Gan Province to interview the mining area?" I'm going to pass through there too, so let's go together, if you will. ”

Kevin immediately agreed: "Great! Later, I booked a ferry ticket and went to Nanchang, the capital city of Jiangxi Province, to file with the local government and immediately go to the interview destination. ”

Han Zixu nodded: "It's best to buy tomorrow's ferry ticket, I need to go to the appointment this afternoon to meet Ms. Zheng Xuan at the "Oriental News" office in the French Concession." ”

Kevin's eyes lit up, he leaned forward, and asked excitedly, "Oh, my God! How did you do that? ”

Han Zixu said with a smile: "My father and Ms. Zheng Xuan's father were classmates when they studied in the UK, and for more than ten years, the connection between my family and the Zheng family has never been severed!" ”

"Last autumn, our two families invested together to acquire two rubber plantations and a rubber refining plant in Malaya, and the production of new raincoats and more than a dozen varieties of rubber shoes has been launched in the Asian market, so I am very familiar with Ms Cheng Xuan and her husband, Mr Feng Jing Jai."

Kevin's eyes widened and he said excitedly, "Great! Dear Han, I sincerely hope that you can take me with me to meet Ms. Zheng Xuan, the first beauty in the East. ”

"In the past two months, I have repeatedly hoped to attend the party hosted by Ms. Zheng Xuan, and have made unremitting efforts to achieve this, and even offered bribes to the cultural counselor of our Consulate General, but until now, I have not been invited by Ms. Zheng Xuan."

"If I could meet Ms. Zheng Xuan, I might be able to convince her news agency to establish a close relationship with our Times, News Corp."

Han Zixu was quite surprised: "Kevin, are you serious?" ”

Kevin's face turned red with excitement: "Of course! I know that at a big social dinner in early May last year, the old and arrogant head of our Asia bureau offended the beautiful Miss Zheng Xuan, and since then, the increasingly powerful Oriental News has severed ties with our Asia bureau of The Times. ”

"On 5 February this year, the parent company of the Oriental News Agency, Asia News Agency, went public in London, and this burgeoning news group received a total of 3 million pounds of investment from the British royal family and HSBC, and signed cooperation agreements with news agencies in six countries, including Germany, France, the United States and my native Belgium, except for our Times Group."

"As soon as the news came out, the old bastard in our newspaper's Asia bureau was forced to resign. Mr. Rosenberg has not yet been accepted by the Zheng family and the Feng family in Shanghai, and if I can contribute a little from this, my future will be bright! ”

Han Zixu knew that the Asia News Group, which was established by the Cheng family in Hong Kong, had been building on a large scale, not only acquiring three newspapers in Hong Kong one after another, but also forming Asia's largest broadcaster, but Han Zixu did not know that the British royal family and HSBC had invested in AsiaNews Group.

Now it seems that the future development of the Zheng family will be limitless, whether in politics or business, it will have greater influence and decision-making power.

"Dear Han, what do you think of?"

Kevin didn't want to eat anything, and looked at Han Zixu who was deep in thought with a smile.

Han Zixu whispered "I'm sorry", put away his smile and replied solemnly: "I think that after meeting Ms. Zheng Xuan, I asked her to send a reporter who is familiar with the situation in Jiangxi Province to assist me in going to the southern part of Jiangxi Province to conduct interviews. ”

Kevin's thick eyebrows shook slightly: "Dear Han, I want to go with you to the warring areas in the south of Jiangxi Province, is it okay?" ”
