Subtitle of this chapter: Chinese with the potential to be big financiers

The suspects in the Wall Street bombing, of course, did not know that they were self-defeating. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And the editor-in-chief of Le Monde is not sure if he will be self-defeating if he follows his daughter's advice.

Mr. Herbert Pulitzer, of course, understands what it means to "get ahead of the curve," and that is to be a newspaper with "attitude."

Let's take an example of the concept of "having an attitude".

In the early morning of April 15, 1912, when the Titanic sank, a telegram for help was sent. At the same time, the major newspapers on the East Coast of the United States also learned of the cable. But none of them believed that this state-of-the-art cruise ship at that time would actually sink, so they did not dare to report it in the morning newspaper.

Only Carl Van Anda, the editor-in-chief of the New York Times, ordered the shocking news of "The Sinking of the Titanic" to be published on the front page early the next morning in the largest sixteen-point font. And his estimate of time and place is almost exactly the same as the truth.

The reason why this gentleman has this confidence is because he is also an excellent science student while living a liberal arts life. He calculated the location of the Titanic's last telegram through the triangulation method, and compared it with the telegrams of other ships, which led to the exclusive news being the first to be released. (note 1)

The reports of other newspapers at the time were both incomplete and inconclusive.

Look look, this is called "having an attitude".

Let's put it this way, after Yuan Yanqian was arrested today, just like the Titanic incident, the major newspapers would definitely not rashly stand in line at the beginning. Because they can't afford to report the consequences of making mistakes, they will report on the matter with caution and neutrality.

However, in this way, these newspapers naturally lack a bit of attitude, and readers are not addicted to reading them.

It may be mean, but the truth is that readers in 1920 or a hundred years from now don't like to use their brains.

Well, from a physiological point of view, human beings are not intelligent beings who are willing to actively expend their brainpower, especially wasting energy on things that have nothing to do with themselves, which is very uneconomical for survival.

If there really is a Creator, who "designed" us to be like this, he can only blame the old man.

Therefore, the writer who must force the reader to think is having trouble with the Creator and a small amount of money......

This is why the media can easily dominate public opinion, because readers obediently wait for the media to give a conclusion, and they don't bother to think about it if you don't give a conclusion. The problem is that when they find out that the media has concluded that they are wrong, they don't feel that they have no brains, they just blame the media for not being professional enough...... Well, that sounds familiar, right?

Therefore, to be a media with an "attitude", it is indeed necessary to weigh the pros and cons, which is not so simple.

The editor-in-chief of Le Monde understands very well that to stand on the side of Chinese in advance also means to stand on someone else's ...... Well, it's actually the opposite of a lot of people.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk,"

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in."

Coming in was a secretary to Mr. Pulitzer, who said respectfully, "Mr. Pulitzer." Mr. Louis Baker has come to visit you. ”

"Ah, Mr. Baker? Please! ”

"Hello, Louie."

"Hello, Mr. Pulitzer. Oh, and Miss Pulitzer. ”

Emma nodded to Mr. Baker and said, "Then you guys talk first, I'll go out and do something." ”

Louis also politely replied, "Miss Pulitzer, please." ”

After his daughter left, the editor-in-chief said enthusiastically: "Louie, you are a rare guest, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you."

Mr. Pulitzer looked at the "rare guest" with an anxious face, and simply asked directly: "Louie, I'm afraid you came to me for your friend, right?" ”

"Yes." Little Baker nodded, "But that's what my grandfather meant?" ”

"Your grandfather?" Mr. Pulitzer asked with some suspicion, "Does he know this Chinese too?" ”

"Yes, my grandfather not only knew Neo, but also admired him."

Louis Baker found a car this morning and took Miss Brown and Miss Pulitzer to the New York Metropolitan Police Department on Manhattan Island. But none of the three of them could get in. I had to wait outside.

A few hours later, he received a letter from John's assistant, handwritten by Neo.

He was as shocked as John when he read the letter, but at this time "Watson" had some trust in "Sherlock Holmes" that could be called "blind".

So after sending Miss Helen Brown home, he went straight to his grandfather's office on Wall Street. Of course, he moved the rescuers for his good friend.

After listening to his grandson's introduction and reading the letter, Mr. George Baker, the "thunder rescuer" he was looking for, couldn't help but fall into thought.

To say that this young Chinese man who is very obsessed with bragging is a radical who made a BOOOOM on Wall Street, Mr. Baker Sr. is the first to believe it. Rather than this statement, he would rather believe that Yuan Yanqian is a big liar like Charles Pounds.

Ponzi schemes, known as the "root of financial fraud", were just debunked earlier this year. The Italian, who "can invent money", filed for bankruptcy in March this year and went to jail.

In one year, he cheated more than 40,000 Boston citizens, and the amount was "high" to $15 million. And our Yuan Da only got 500,000 US dollars after only 4,500 people, if he also got 40,000 people into this gamble, wouldn't the amount be 50 million US dollars?

Old Mr. Baker did have some admiration for this young Chinese, and the old fox, who had long been trained in his vision, felt that Master Yuan was much stronger than his own grandsons, including the little Louie in front of him.

But it's a pity that Yuan Yanqian is not his grandson, so he can't help but think about whether to help, how to help, and to what extent.

However, after some careful consideration, Mr. George Baker decided to help this Chinese, because his old man actually saw his own shadow in Yuan Yanqian's body.

To be more precise, through this gamble, he saw a young man with great potential as a financier "snap" in front of him.

NOTE 1: In the American press of the early twentieth century, Carl Van Anda was almost a legendary figure. To a certain extent, the future status of the New York Times was established.

There is also a very awesome anecdote about this gentleman, and that is to correct Einstein's mistakes. After Einstein published his theory of relativity, his position in the academic world can be called skyrocketing. Once, when he was lecturing at Harvard, he mentioned a mathematical formula, which was faithfully recorded by a reporter from the New York Times.

Carl van Anda found out that this formula was wrong, and asked the reporter to confirm it again with Einstein. I love to look at it...... It's really that he accidentally said it wrong.
