Tang Di, the editor-in-chief of the Southern Economic Tribune, was a little depressed in this paragraph, and the changes in China's political climate caught him off guard, and he now urgently needed to make some moves to save the fate of the newspaper.

In the mid-80s, Tang Di and several reporters and editors who were said to have "conscience" jointly contracted this supplement and renamed it Southern Economic Tribune, or Nandao for short. At the beginning of its establishment, Tang Di positioned this newspaper as a platform for disseminating reform ideas, and of course, he grasped the definition of what is reform thought and what is conservative thought.

In the past few years, the Southern Economic Tribune has gradually become famous for its courage to speak up and expose the black, and has gradually become the banner of a certain school of thought. In this turmoil, the Southern Economic Tribune published many radical articles, but after the turmoil, it was criticized by the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. If it weren't for the fact that the Minister of Propaganda had a good personal relationship with Tang Di, and the Internet did not investigate it in depth, I am afraid that the Southern Economic Tribune would have closed down at this time.

Although it escaped the danger of closing, the sales and influence of the newspaper suffered a great setback, and many companies used to queue up to advertise in the Southern Economic Tribune, but now the advertising salesman ran out to tear up the sale, and no one was there. The reason for this is that the selling point of the original Southern Economic Tribune is that it is radical and can satisfy people's curiosity. And now the newspaper doesn't dare to say those things anymore, and naturally no one wants to read them. Can a newspaper that no one reads still hope to attract advertising?

No, something must be done to change the current status quo, the newspaper must be eye-catching, and everyone's attention must be attracted to avoid the newspaper, Tang Di said to himself.

In the past, it was very easy for Nandao to catch the eyeballs, as long as he found a news clue, he could say some truths, and he could fool a group of readers with emotion. For example, if a reporter sees a dog biting someone on the street, he can write a report: "Vicious dogs are in trouble, and why is the city appearance management department absent".

Conversely, if you see the news that a person has bitten a dog, you can also write a report: "The abuse of righteous dogs, calling for the reshaping of human conscience".

Playing this kind of language skill is simply commonplace for Nandao's reporters, and in those years, everyone's favorite thing to watch is such a title.

However, now that the wind has changed, it is easy to cross the line if you want to blame social phenomena as you did in the past. The propaganda minister had already sternly warned him that if there was another incident that crossed the line, the person in charge of the newspaper would have to bear the corresponding administrative responsibility.

Look at the direction of the wind, this is the most important quality of being an editor-in-chief. Tang Di asked reporters to expose a large number of shady scenes, precisely because the slogan at that time was to encourage the emancipation of the mind, and the trend in the media was that the more out of position, the more thoughtful it became. But now the situation is different, just after the turmoil, the whole country has adopted a strict attitude towards the Western trend of thought, and some of the remarks that were very fashionable in the past are very sensitive now, and Tang Di does not want to commit this taboo.

So, what exactly is the wind right now? Tang Di held a large pile of central-level newspapers and looked at them repeatedly, sniffing them with his sensitive nose.

"Xiao Zhang, you brought me Luo Shu from the Ministry of Information." Tang Di finally raised his head and shouted to his secretary.

The secretary left, and after a while, Luo Shu, a young female reporter from the Ministry of Information, came to Tang Di's office.

"Mr. Tang, are you looking for me?" Luo Shu asked timidly.

"Xiao Luo, I remember that the year before last you interviewed a state-owned enterprise in Jiangnan Province that was acquired by foreign capital, and you also wrote a newsletter at that time, do you still have an impression?" Tang Di asked straight to the point, this is also Nandao's work style, and everyone does not need to be polite to each other.

Luo Shu showed a slightly embarrassed look on her face, and said sneeringly: "Mr. Tang, there is such a thing. The company I interviewed was called Jiangnan Shihua Electric Appliance Factory, and it was acquired by Sanhe Company of the United States and Jiangnan Hanhua Heavy Industry Group Corporation. I had no experience at the time, and when I came back, I wrote a biased report that was criticized by you and other leaders. ”

Luo Shu's embarrassment is not unreasonable, she was interviewed by Jiang Shidian, listened to Sun Xiangyun's introduction to her, and in righteous indignation, she wrote a report, questioning whether the acquisition of state-owned enterprises by foreign capital is in line with the principle of social ownership, and at the same time revealed that the reason for Hanhua Heavy Industries' participation in this acquisition activity is that its executive deputy general manager Lin Zhenhua has a personal relationship with the chairman of the American Sanhe Company, which may involve internal and external collusion and other issues. ,

When Luo Shu wrote this article, she was full of enthusiasm. Who knows, when she submitted the article to Tang Di, she was scolded by Tang Di. Tang Di told her that state-owned enterprises should have been dissolved, and that the fewer state-owned enterprises, the better, and that things like Sanhe's acquisition of Jiang Shidian should be vigorously promoted. And people like Sun Xiangyun are the remnants of state-owned enterprises, and they are completely unworthy of sympathy.

Luo Shu had just graduated from school at the time, and Jiang Shidian's interview was the first time she went outside the province to conduct an independent interview. Who knows, the comments she received were naïve, conservative, lacking a global vision, and lacking a spirit of questioning. This string of comments made her feel extremely small, and she had been embarrassed for a long time.

Now, she has fully accepted Nandao's values and began to know which side she should be on. Therefore, when Tang Di mentioned the interview that year, she felt a kind of shame.

"Is that report still there?" Tang Di asked.

Luo Shu thought for a while and said, "It's still there, including the interview notes at the time, it's still there."

"The person involved in the incident, the worker you said, can you still find it?" Tang Di continued to ask.

Luo Shu said: "It's hard to say, but I know his name, if you want to find it, you should be able to find it." ”

Tang Di nodded and said, "That's good, now I'll give you a task." You go to Jiangnan Province again, go to that factory, don't alarm the factory, secretly contact the worker, and follow him up and interview. In addition, if possible, you will also have to go to Hanhua Heavy Industries, find an insider to understand things related to Lin Zhenhua in depth, and then revise your original manuscript. ”

"What? The original manuscript still needs to be revised? Luo Shu was taken aback, "Mr. Tang, didn't you say that the manuscript was very badly written?" ”

Tang Di smiled slightly: "Xiao Luo, as a media person, you have to care more about current affairs." Your manuscript must not have been usable back then, and it doesn't match the direction of the wind. But now it makes a lot of sense. Now everyone is reflecting on the impact of bourgeois liberalization on our country, and Lin Zhenhua is a very typical spokesman for bourgeois liberalization thought. Isn't it strange that everything he has done is contrary to the party's policy, and he is now not questioned in any way? ”

"But......" Luo Shu's brain short-circuited all of a sudden, no, is this what Mr. Tang, who shouts about emancipation of his mind all day long, should say? No, Mr. Tang must have been stolen, and the person in front of him, who looks like Mr. Tang, must be fake.

Luo Shu was thinking nonsense there, and Tang Di had already begun to plan for her: "This report should be written from such angles." First of all, why did Jiang Shidian collapse? It is because of the impact of private enterprises and digging corners, I remember that you wrote in that report that before the collapse of Jiangshidian, Lin Zhenhua went to Jiangshidian to dig talents, is there such a thing? ”

"Seems to be the case." Luo Shu responded.

"That's right, isn't this digging into the corner of socialism?" Tang Di nodded with satisfaction, "Secondly, when Jiang Shidian was experiencing economic difficulties, Lin Zhenhua obviously had the strength to help it, but he sat back and waited until it completely collapsed before letting his personal friends abroad buy it, isn't it a conspiracy?" ”

"It seems like ・・・・・・ kind of conspiracy theory."

"Also, it is clear that it was the American Sanhe Company that acquired Jiangshi Electric, but Lin Zhenhua took the initiative to take a group of cadres from Hanhua Heavy Industry to help receive it, is this considered a public weapon for private use? If the acquirer wasn't his friend, would he be so aggressive? ”

"The biggest problem is Hanhua Heavy Industries. I have been following this company for several years, it is a joint-stock enterprise, although on the surface it is the largest shareholder of state-owned shares, but the proportion of private shares has exceeded half, which is a typical private holding company. In Hanhua Heavy Industry, Lin Zhenhua, a nouveau riche in his 20s, is almost a monopoly on power, those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me die, and engage in a private kingdom, which road is this going to take Hanhua Heavy Industries? ”

Luo Shu's mind completely collapsed, she remembered that Tang Di did pay attention to Hanhua Heavy Industry, but his evaluation of Hanhua Heavy Industry has always been positive, and he has always believed that Lin Zhenhua is a very promising person, representing the achievement of ideological emancipation. He even instructed a reporter to write a commentary saying that there should be people like Lin Zhenhua in all of China's state-owned enterprises, and that all state-owned enterprises should be turned into private enterprises.

"Mr. Tang, do you mean to say that we want to treat Hanhua Heavy Industry as a negative example, is that so?" Luo Shu asked.

Tang Di shook his head and said: "Taking Hanhua Heavy Industry as a negative example is not enough to stimulate the eyeballs. Moreover, this enterprise has such a large scale, it is not easy to shake easily. It's better for us to take Lin Zhenhua as a breakthrough. ”

"Huh!?" Luo Shu's eyes widened.

"I think, that's the title, "Surname or Surname Society, what does the Lin Zhenhua phenomenon mean". Tang Di said loudly.
