(2nd update on September 30)

July 24, 1937, was a day to be remembered by American journalism because it marked the resurgence of yellow journalism.

Yellow journalism is a type of news that emerged in the United States at the end of the 19th century, mainly focusing on sensationalism, violence, blood, pornography and other topics.

In 1901, Hearst openly instigated the assassination of President McKinley in the New York News for his support of the defeated Republican leader Briand. In September of the same year, McKinley was assassinated, and the New York News was found in the murderer's pocket. People began to oppose yellow journalism. For a while, everyone shouted and beat the yellow press.

Although yellow journalism rose for a period of time in the 20s of the 20th century due to the development of color printing and technology, people were still apprehensive about yellow journalism, and within a few years, yellow journalism and newspapers were suppressed and disappeared.

After more than ten years, these tabloids that have been suppressed to the corner suddenly collectively exert their authority, and most of the owners of these tabloids are some small businessmen who are reluctant to operate, and these people dare to publish any news for the sake of profit.

The most important reason why we dare to do this is that the United States is a country that has no news control, and even allows news rumors and fake news, which is one of the reasons for the rise of yellow journalism in the United States. One of the representative events is the existence of April Fool's Day news.

The absence of press regulation does guarantee American freedom – provided your newspaper is read, of course. As a result, a wealthy and powerful person can use the method of opening a newspaper to influence the direction of public opinion, and even if it is found that the news published by him is false, no one can accuse him, after all, the law allows it.

DuPont was woken up today by a hurried knock on the door. DuPont got up in disgust and opened the door and said, "Damn, I hope you really have something important, or I promise you'll turn into a cement pier." ”

It was one of the leaders of DuPont's secret forces, who took a couple of newspapers and said to DuPont, "Oh no, we've had an accident, and now the streets are full of negative news about us." ”

DuPont frowned and took a look at it, it was a tabloid that he had never heard of, but the headline on it was shocking: "The War in Stockings - Deciphering the Truth You Don't Know"

DuPont took another copy of "Yesterday Three Girls Were Seduced for Stockings - Who Kept Us from Buying Stockings?" ”

Look at another copy of "A Girl Was Beaten by a Mysterious Man for Buying Stockings - Suspected of Being Committed by a Major Company"

Take another copy of "The Richest Countries Can't Buy Stockings - Reasons Make You Creepy"

Look at the content again.,Both people and things in it use pseudonyms.,What girl with the initials B is in N City.。 As for the antagonist, it is a D company.

Although no name was named, anyone who knows Stockings Storm knows that this company refers to DuPont.

DuPont smiled indifferently and said, "So what, these are tabloids, where does anyone buy them." ”

The leader said with a bitter face, "You don't need to buy it, it's delivered, it's being delivered everywhere, and it is said that more than a hundred newspapers are giving away these newspapers for free." ”

DuPont was surprised, "Send??" ”

"Boss, why are we delivering newspapers?" Zhang Ye asked curiously.

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "These ninth-rate tabloids have merit in surviving, what they need most now is fame, now that we have given the opportunity, of course they are willing to seize it, capitalists can die as long as they have profits, especially these people who have not been able to see the future, once we give them hope, they will desperately seize it." ”

Delilah has been standing at the airport for a week, and now she is the most popular age in her first year of high school, especially when she gets five pairs of stockings without knowing what she did, and immediately attracted all the sisters around her to her house, and the D who has no eyes, he hinted at him like that, and actually went to Sarah's house, especially the eyes he looked at Sarah's thighs, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and then another flight arrived, Delilah excitedly squeezed to the front, and frantically held up the sign and shouted, "Sir, Do you have stockings? Ma'am, do you have stockings? ”

A chubby man, Silver smiled, took out a box of stockings from his bag, and suddenly countless hands reached out to him. A few policemen who maintained order squeezed desperately inside.

The fat man, in English with a thick accent, said, "A pair of stockings, travel with me in New York for four days, who is coming?" ”

Damn it! Another such person. Delilah put down her hand hatefully, and finally the stockings were picked up by a tall mature woman, who was holding the fat man's next door and twisting outside.

Delilah snorted in disdain. Prepare for the next scramble. A shout drew her. Looking back, it was a very lean-looking woman standing on a chair, waving a newspaper and saying, "Sisters, what are you doing here?" For the sake of stockings, you stand here and beg those Europeans, Europe can buy stockings at will, but we in the United States, which prides itself on freedom, can't buy them, why is that? ”

A woman shouted, "It's not that Weihua is not for sale." ”

The woman continued waving her hand and said, "So what made them stop selling to us?" Who made our sisters sell their souls because of stockings, and who made us not even have the right to wear a pair of socks? ”

The people below were talking, and a woman with glasses said, "It's DuPont." ”

The woman replied, "That's right, it's all because of DuPont, they didn't allow Weihua to sell us stockings out of jealousy, and the DuPont stockings they promised don't even have a shadow until now, we are a free country, don't we have the right to buy a sock?" Let's look at these newspapers and see what happened to our sisters because of DuPont. What do you say? ”

Delilah shouted, "Go and settle accounts with them!!" ”

When DuPont arrived at the company, he had already found that he could no longer enter the company, and countless women who did not know where they came from, led by several feminists, shouted "Power!" Freely! Beautiful! Stockings! The slogan group surrounded their building.

Dupont laughed angrily, "Do you think you can give me in this way?" It's ridiculous, G, you lead people to break them up, those who take the lead, you can be ruthless. ”

A strong man in a black suit beside Dupont nodded and left.

After a while, hundreds dressed in workers' clothes, waving red flags and rushing out of nowhere, shouting the slogan "Long live the red world". Brandishing iron rods and rushing into the crowd, most of these protesters were women, where were the opponents of these strong men, screaming for a while, and several women who took the lead were beaten on the head and bleeding.

Jiang Cheng, who was watching the play with a telescope on the roof of the building on the side, smiled, "Sure enough, let them go." ”

Zhang Ye nodded and waved the American flag beside him vigorously.

DuPont smoked a cigarette and laughed, "Dare to protest to me, joke." The mistress next to him coquettishly handed him a glass of wine, and before DuPont could drink it, he saw the people around him suddenly rush to his company like crazy.

DuPont felt baffled, what's the situation? Seeing hundreds of reporters coming out of nowhere, constantly taking pictures of the chaotic scene, DuPont relieved himself and said, "What am I talking about, these people are the Red Party that should be killed, and what does their struggle with feminism have to do with me." ”

- Indeed, if the opponent is not Jiang Cheng, it is true.

The day after those demonstrators were dispersed, DuPont suddenly received an anonymous letter.

DuPont never dreamed that Jiang Cheng, who came from later generations, would actually bring a camera from later generations to take evidence.

Later generations of professional cameras could easily capture the extremely clear face of people up to 500 meters away. This would have been unthinkable in 1937 at that time. He didn't know that in order to take these photos, Zhang Ye's eyes had become the same as rabbits in the past few days.

DuPont saw four photos delivered to the door, and the whole person trembled, one was a photo of himself talking to the strong man, one was a photo of the strong man coming out of the alley with someone waving a red flag, one was a chaotic beaten crowd, and the other was a photo of the strong man fiercely breaking a woman's head.

God, how did they do it? You must know that the photos of this period are impossible to take pictures of people as long as they are seven or eight meters away. So as long as you take a clear photo of the person, the other party will definitely find out. And this color photo is so clear, it is almost like it was taken in front of themselves, how did they do it? Could it be those damn journalists? It could be - but it didn't feel right.

DuPont didn't have time to think about it, and the phone in his office rang non-stop, and he slowly picked it up—the person across from him was the last person he wanted to face at this time—Franklin Roosevelt.

Roosevelt didn't know how Jiang Cheng took these photos, but what he understood was that DuPont had already lost the upper hand in this contest, and it was better to accept it when it was good.

Roosevelt expressed his willingness to make peace with DuPont and Weihua, although DuPont was unwilling to use his explosives again, but Roosevelt directly said that Weihua did not have a factory in the United States, but only had a point of sale, and the leader of Weihua has never shown up again, whether it is Zhang Ye known to the public or Jiang Cheng that Roosevelt has seen, they are just puppets pushed out -- Roosevelt would not believe that such a company would be founded by a person in his twenties.

In other words, DuPont really wanted to be rude, and he couldn't even find the target of the attack. The most important thing is that Weihua's leadership has begun to contact Farben in Germany.

When DuPont heard about Faben, he really panicked.

German Farben - one of the six major conglomerates of Nazi Germany, completely monopolized the German chemical industry, 100% of Germany's methanol and lubricants, 80% of explosives, 70% of ** and 35% of sulfuric acid are provided by this company, which can be said to be one of DuPont's biggest opponents. More critically, Farben has a deep relationship with Standard Oil of the United States, and the two companies hold each other's shares and become significant shareholders. This later led to a large flow of American oil to Germany in World War II.

Although DuPont is strong, it can only back down in the face of Faben and Standard Oil. In this way, maybe DuPont will lose the big cake of chemical textiles forever. Roosevelt didn't understand why DuPont looked at stockings like this, in fact, DuPont valued the material of stockings, which can be produced out of thin air after all to become an important textile material in the future, this cake is not comparable to small stockings, this is a big cake for billions of people. The exact profit is simply unthinkable, and DuPont can guarantee that this will put DuPont in the U.S. consortium a few more places.

To be on the safe side, DuPont's meeting with Weihua was resolved by phone.

In a high-sounding voice, the two companies reached a final agreement.

First, Weihua will give DuPont a theoretical approach to nylon industrialization, but it will not include industrial equipment and subsequent theoretical support

Second, unless the production is due to production reasons, DuPont will sign a market division agreement with Weihua every year, DuPont is 40%, and Weihua is 60%.

Third, Wei Hua promised that those photos would never be circulated among the world.

Fourth, Weihua guaranteed that European stockings would not be circulated to the Americas through any official channels.

Fifth, DuPont transferred a medium-sized explosives factory as compensation for Weihua's transfer of theoretical methods, but in order to ensure DuPont's monopoly position in explosives, Weihua was not allowed to sell any arms in the United States.

Sixth, Weihua retains the right to conduct in-depth research on synthetic resin technology.

Seventh, the contract must be signed after the signing of the cooperation agreement between DuPont and Weihua and in the presence of the ten major consortiums.

The agreement will be drawn up by five barristers, with two from DuPont, two from Weihua and one from the government.

At the same time in Germany, Chen Nan also took a similar agreement and signed it with a fiat currency company. Of course, in order to get Hitler's support, Jiang Cheng provided Hitler with detailed data on the British King George V, which was under construction.

A week later, Weihua stockings were relaunched in the United States, and in order to compete with DuPont and Faben in the future, Weihua started a stockings membership system and mail-order business for the upper class, and at the same time classified the stockings of later generations according to fabrics, and designed multiple brands. Jiang Cheng also took advantage of the past few days to transport a large number of medicines and stockings to the two places.

At this time, China was staging a major rout. At the same time, Jiang Cheng also received an urgent call from Yan'an and Li Qian, and Yan'an said that he needed Jiang Cheng to return to Yan'an immediately. And Li Qian reported on the situation in Pingjin.
