Chapter 220: Acquisition of the Newspaper
'Hello, my name is Wu Fan, and I am an old showman. I would like to invite you to start a newspaper. Wu Fan made an appointment to meet Liu Hezhen in the cafΓ© of Beijing University.
Liu Hezhen smiled shallowly, "What kind of newspaper do you want to invite me to run?" β
Wu Fan looked at her firmly, "We set up a progressive newspaper to publish progressive articles. β
Liu Hezhen laughed even more, 'You can have such a progressive concept as an old show? β
Liu Hezhen's suspicions are justified, and in the atmosphere of white terror, many agents of the Secret Service will also disguise themselves as progressives to fish for law enforcement.
As a revolutionary, Liu Hezhen's anti-reconnaissance ability is not weak.
Wu Fan also smiled, "Mr. Tan is still a member of the government, and he is not the same as supporting progressive reforms. Those who support reform cannot be distinguished from others. People always change. Actually, let's tell you that. I used to be a classmate of King Wu, and when he was a small businessman, I took several imperial examinations with him.
It's a pity that I don't know how to be flexible, he is very smart, and in the end he passed the exam, and I failed.
Maybe it's just fate. It was that I embarked on the process of progressive reform.
If I had been promoted, I probably wouldn't have such a concept now. β
@7δ½ δΈδΌε δΈΊε°±ζ―δΈδΈΎθ½ιδΊζζ―ζζΉι©, I want to get a share of it." Liu Hezhen questioned.
Clearly, Liu Hezhen is the kind of person who can sacrifice his life for reform. But because she has seen through the meanness of many people, she is very disgusted with some villains who fish in troubled waters in reform.
You're saying a good thing. Obviously, there may be a handful of scum in our reform ranks. However, this does not negate that we are right to carry out reforms.
In fact, after I came to the capital, I begged King Wu to lower the threshold of manuscript tax. But he said yes, and instead gave me a good job.
And then I was very disappointed.
Eventually, the idea of reform arose.
I'm living alone. Not good. Tens of thousands of lives have been transformed. This is the real new Great Song. β
Wu Fan said firmly.
Liu Hezhen nodded. That's a great point. If only there were a few more like you among our people. Our country is not worried about not being able to reform.
Most people are silent now. They are afraid of the Li Yibai government. Even if they are oppressed, they dare not speak out.
They are like lambs to the slaughter. One was killed, and the other was saying, "Didn't kill me anyway." It has nothing to do with me. When it comes to killing it one day, it will yell for help. But then the other lambs will also say, "I didn't kill me anyway."
We shouldn't be such people.
Mr. Wu, you are running a newspaper. I'm willing to work with you.
For the real new Great Song Dynasty, for the freedom of the Great Song people. β
'Yes. Wu Fan stretched out his hand.
The hands of the two men were tightly clasped together.
Liu Hezhen's hand was pale and cold, but Wu Fan felt that her hand had a huge power, and this power could shake his heart.
Two days later, Liu Hezhen came to Wu Fan's residence. She has short hair, capable and beautiful. She still had a gentle smile on her face.
'Student Liu, please take a seat. β
Wu Fan hurriedly greeted Liu Hezhen in the living room.
'Mr. Wu, don't be polite. How can I help you? Say it, please. Liu Hezhen sat down, looked at him and asked.
Now I'm a government concerner. And you haven't been exposed yet, I want to use your identity to take a stake in Jingnan Daily.
I've observed that the daily newspaper also likes to publish progressive articles.
He's the right fit for us to put in. By taking a stake in their newspaper, we are better able to publish more progressive articles.
And at the right opportunity. We have published some sensational articles, which will inevitably inspire people's wisdom. influencing the people to participate in the reform. β
Wu Fan said quietly and hurriedly.
'The right opportunity? Liu Hezhen asked suspiciously. 'What is the right opportunity?' β
Wu Fan slowly explained, "When Li Yibai's government does something that is really indignant to everyone, then is the time when we can publicly criticize him." We will surely get a response from the people.
Under pressure from the people, the Li Yibai government will make concessions to reform.
That's the right opportunity. β
Liu Hezhen's eyes lit up, "I understand, sir." The gentleman was quick-witted and resourceful. We all have to be so smart as Mr. Xiang to do progressive reform work. β
Wu Fan laughed, "Don't laugh." We still have a lot to do. You first go to Jingnan Daily to talk to their boss about buying shares, and then we will go to work at their newspaper together. Remember, don't worry about money, be sure to get control of the newspaper. β
Liu Hezhen nodded, "Sir, I'll go." β
'Wait, I'll take you to buy some clothes.' As a rich man who bought a newspaper, you have to dress up as a rich daughter. It can't be the way it is to be such a quiet student. Let's go to the Beijing Department Store first. β
When Liu Hezhen followed Wu Fan out, he said, "Mr. is still thoughtful." But don't buy too much and don't waste money. β
The two got into the carriage.
'Don't worry about money. We need careful packaging to do something like this. You just become a rich daughter and don't think about anything. β
'Hmm. Liu Hezhen nodded and looked at Wu Fan with a fiery look.
Soon, the two came to the department store.
Liu Hezhen kept changing clothes in the cloakroom.
She had a smile on her face with every change.
She smiled beautifully.
Wu Fan nodded and helped her choose a few of the best-looking ones.
After buying clothes, the two went back together.
Liu and Zhen were very excited in the carriage, and she could find like-minded people to do what she liked together.
She is satisfied with her current state.
Soon the carriage came to Wu Fan's residence, "Classmate Liu, this is the address of Jingnan Daily, and the rest will depend on you." I'm not going to send you there. Take care of yourself. β
Liu Hezhen nodded.
After that, the carriage took her to the Jingnan Daily.
Five days later, Ms. Liu became the largest shareholder of the Daily. The next day, he recruited Wu Fan into the newspaper as the editor-in-chief.
'Hello editor-in-chief. The editors in the newspaper all greeted Wu Fan.
As Wu Fan walked, he shouted to everyone, "Let's go, let's go to the conference room for a meeting." β
After a while, the editors were in the conference room. Liu Hezhen is also there.
Wu Fan said, "Today, you can expand the scale of the article. Don't worry and be afraid. We'll take care of something. β
One editor excitedly said, 'We've been wanting this for a long time.' It's just that the previous boss management was too strict. We're afraid we'll lose our jobs. β
Wu Fan said with a smile, "What we do in journalism is to pay attention to authenticity. If you don't do real reporting, then what kind of reporter are you. β
Another editor said, 'But editor-in-chief, we're too risky. I'm afraid that our newspaper won't be able to do this for a year. β
The editor was right.
The Jingnan Daily did not hold out for a year, and at the end of the year, the Information Bureau did not approve the annual examination. They are accused of publishing too many progressive articles, and the newspapers are reporting too right, and there is a subjective bias.
No matter how Liu Hezhen explained to the people at the Information Bureau, they just didn't listen.
'How can it not be considered biased, is it all good to report the good words of the government?' Could it be that the voice of the people is biased? So since we only need sycophants, why do we need newspapers? Hasn't the government's TV station been doing it all the time?
The things we reported were all about correcting the government's behavior. This is good for the government. The government is so powerful, why is it afraid of the people.
The government keeps correcting its mistakes, how can the people be dissatisfied, obviously the people will support the government more because they see hope. β
The person in charge of the Information Bureau said lightly, "Miss Liu, we can't do anything about this, this is the opinion of the superior leaders." β
"Hmph, since our Great Song Dynasty is governing the country according to law and administering justice, how can there be a leader from above. If there is a stipulation on what cannot be reported and what can be reported, please specify it directly. We will do it strictly. But you didn't write it, and when we reported it, you accused us of making mistakes.
Anyway, all kinds of reasons are in your hands. You are free to retract. And we are struggling to do it. β
In the end, Liu Hezhen still failed to convince the people in the Information Bureau.
After coming back, Liu Hezhen sighed and told Wu Fan about the situation.
Wu Fan just smiled faintly, "Don't worry. Since this one has not passed the annual review. We'll just buy another newspaper.
Anyway, there are many newspapers that have passed the annual review before. We can also integrate the resources of this newspaper into the newly acquired newspaper. This way you don't waste your original resources.
Anyway, that's the license plate we want. β
Liu Hezhen smiled, "Sir, you really have a way." β
Wu Fan smiled bitterly, "We can't give up just because of a little setback." We can't give up until we succeed in what we do, and that's a long-term thing. At the same time, we need to be prepared to go to jail. Li Yibai will not let us go easily. β
Liu Hezhen nodded, "Sir, don't worry, I am not only ready to go to prison, but also ready to die."
By the way, sir, Ms. Lin came up with a book, but her books are full of sensitive and progressive content. The Information Bureau also refused to approve the review. She wanted to find a way for us. β
Wu Fan pondered for a moment and said, "I have a way. That is to take advantage of the ability of our newspaper to publish magazines. His books were published in magazines in part and in part. This escapes scrutiny. β
That's a good idea. However, it is also possible that the magazine will be seized in the future. Liu Hezhen said.
It doesn't matter, you can only take one step at a time. β
Liu Hezhen nodded, 'Yes. Part of our voice is to make a contribution to society. As for how much we can get out, it's up to fate. β
The two looked at the moonlit night in the sky, and Liu Hezhen's hand held Wu Fan's hand. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
