Chapter XXXIII
Zhang Yun had a headache, a real headache. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As a senior reporter of "Declaration", Zhang Yun has always been proud of his identity. Founded 40 years ago, the newspaper has always been one of the most influential newspapers in China, and because it is hosted by the British and is located in Shanghai, it has always had a high reputation for daring to disclose a lot of news. For example, two years ago, it was impossible for ordinary newspapers to continuously report on the changes in Guangxu's condition, without even attracting the interference of the Qing government.
Therefore, in the past ten years, Zhang Yun has always felt very good.
Because of the influence of "Declaration", Zhang Yun is also quite status, and he has interviewed many big names, such as the British minister, the Japanese minister, etc., but in the past two days at this seemingly ordinary gate, Zhang Yun feels like he has returned to the time when he first worked, and he was at a loss......
“…… Tsk, it's too cold. ”
Just when Zhang Yun was upset, a young voice next to him couldn't help but complain: "Brother Zhang, when are we going to wait?" You can't get in, you can't go...... Oh my God, this American tycoon is too big, isn't it? We're the reporters who declared......"
"What's wrong with the declaration?"
Zhang Yun, who was already upset, widened his eyes and said angrily: "Don't you know the identity of this Mr. Huntelaar?" Is that the boss behind Huntelaar Press? People have "New Culture Daily", "Shanghai New News" and "Shanghai Daily Evening News" in their hands, do they care about you as a reporter of "Declaration"? ”
Hearing Zhang Yun's words, the junior characters of the newspaper suddenly fell silent.
It is true that "Declaration" was originally a standout in Shanghai, but since Huntelaar Publishing House entered China, such good times have never looked back. They first founded the "New Culture Daily", which began to publish a large number of European and American news, which attracted the attention of the Chinese people, and then founded the "Shanghai Daily Evening News", which mainly published domestic political news, and then even resumed the "Shanghai New Daily", which was suspended due to the competition of "Declaration", focusing on essays, poems and other literary works. With the support of advanced newspaper concepts, the influence of the three newspapers has grown rapidly, especially the first two, whose influence is close to that of "Declaration", how can he not understand?
"Well, be patient."
After seeing that the young man didn't dare to say anything, Zhang Yun sighed helplessly.
John? Huntelaar's visit to Hong Kong was also boiling over in the newspapers, and almost every family reported the news, and the "Declaration" was of course no exception. On the one hand, Mr. Huntelaar's identity is indeed a concern, it is rumored that he is a strong contender for the richest man in the United States and the world, and this identity itself carries enough aura; On the other hand, the influence of the Huntelaar Bank, the publishing house and the foreign bank in Shanghai is even greater, and the largest landlord, the most influential initial establishment and the largest foreign bank are all things that people have to look up to.
Therefore, when the "Declaration" got the news, it immediately sent a reporter to cover it.
In order to grab the most valuable news, "Declaration" did not even report the news of the other party's visit to Shanghai first, but planned to interview it first, and then release it together with the news.
Merely......
finally found out where the other party was staying, but Zhang Yun and the two couldn't even get in!
It is useless to reveal the identity of the reporter of the "Declaration", the editor-in-chief of the newspaper personally looks for a way, and even the president of the American Chamber of Commerce is useless, and the white strong man at the door always has a cold face in front of them, repeating a cold sentence in English: This is a private place, please leave! Unthinkable, and got the strict order of the editor-in-chief, Zhang Yun and the two of them had to do the earliest paparazzi work, planning to try their luck at the gate all the time.
The only thing that makes Zhang Yun feel better is that they are not the only ones who suffer from this kind of treatment.
In fact, during the more than a day of squatting here, except for the US Consul General in Shanghai, who had just left, there were six or seven waves of visitors who had the same experience, which made Zhang Yun feel a lot better. What he is most worried about now is that this American tycoon obviously wants to keep a low profile, once the news spreads, even if he is interviewed, it will definitely be three newspapers in his name, and I am afraid that there will be nothing to do with him!
"Huh?"
Just when Zhang Yun was worried, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, another reporter from the newspaper. The other party trotted all the way to him, and shouted from afar: "Brother Zhang, you finally don't have to stay here anymore, the news of people coming to Shanghai has spread, you can go back......"
……
Three days after John arrived in Shanghai, the news finally spread.
A tabloid newspaper that got the gossip used an article titled "The World's Richest Man Visits Shanghai" to set off the Huntelaar craze in the poster industry. For a while, it seemed that everyone's eyes were diverted from the heavy news such as the North-South joint talks and Yuan Datou's coming to power, and converged on an American.
John? The name Huntelaar seems to have some kind of special magic!
In fact, the reason is very simple, because in the last decade or even longer, John? The property under the name of Huntelaar has created a great reputation in this ancient oriental country! For example, the Huntelaar Bank and the Huntelaar Commercial Bank, which have published more than 1,000 books and have influenced all walks of life in various fields such as politics, economics, military and education, for example, there are more than 60 factories with the Huntelaar mark in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, for example, the three universities in Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou, as well as countless technical schools, primary and secondary schools in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the number of international students who have begun to return to China are getting bigger and bigger......
At least in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the influence of the name Huntelaar is unmatched by foreigners!
It was for this reason that the British Governor of Hong Kong vaguely warned John, after all, the Yangtze River valley was their traditional sphere of influence, and the British were 120,000 wary of the rapidly rising Huntelaar consortium. Moreover, the Huntelaar consortium has money, technology, and more importantly, powerful arsenals and shipyards, and if it fully supports either side of China, it will inevitably cause immeasurable serious consequences......
What the British understand, others certainly understand.
So, as in Hong Kong, when news of John's arrival broke, journalists, businessmen and consuls from various countries, local officials in Shanghai, and representatives of the revolutionary, Beiyang, and constitutionalist factions came to the door to try to interview or visit the world-famous American tycoon.
It's a pity that without exception, everyone was politely refused.
To the delight of the British, and the displeasure of many, Mr. Huntelaar came to Shanghai, but he did not seem to have any interest in contacting people from all walks of life, and stayed in the neighborhood surrounded by high walls and American soldiers - the American consulate even sent two squads of soldiers to ensure Mr. Huntelaar's safety!
No one was allowed to enter it except the original residents of the neighborhood and the U.S. Consul General in Shanghai.
This situation continued until the fourth day after John's arrival in Shanghai, when two BMW cars came to the gate and stopped, and then saw a middle-aged white man hurriedly come out of it, and after negotiating with the passengers in the car, the two BMW cars restarted and slowly drove into the gate......
