The office space of the newspaper has been rented, and the printing business has also found a manufacturer, and then Xiao Zhenlei asked Zhang Jiyao to go to other newspapers to poach people, not only to poach the editor-in-chief and editor, but also to poach reporters, otherwise Zhang Jiyao will not be able to support such a newspaper at all, and the editor-in-chief of the main newspaper will be concurrently served by Zhang Jiyao, who will not only be the manager but also the editor-in-chief, and the workload is still very large. ⊕∽

After Zhang Jiyao went to dig other people's corners, Xiao Zhenlei found a few carpenters and masons on the street to decorate the newspaper office, and then personally ran to the Ministry of Industry Bureau, now there is no unit in charge of the news media in the subordinate agencies of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and he still needs to find the police department to run a newspaper, he found Mai Gaoyun and asked him to get a permit, Mai Gaoyun is now busy because of several homicides, where is the time to care about such trivial things? If someone else comes to the door, it is estimated that he will lose his temper and drive people away, and Xiao Zhenlei is not an ordinary person, whether it is in China or the concession, he is a well-known figure, and he also has a strong relationship within the Ministry of Industry, not to mention anything else, his relationship with the Germans is very good, and now the Germans are in charge of the patrol house, and do not agree to do it for Xiao Zhenlei, although Xiao Zhenlei can't do anything to him, but Xiao Zhenlei has a way to make trouble for him, in line with the idea of not making trouble for himself, Mai Gaoyun still instructed his assistant to get Xiao Zhenlei a license to run a newspaper.

After a few busy days, Xiao Zhenlei has already done the permit, and the progress of the renovation is also very fast, Xiao Zhenlei can't stay in the newspaper all the time, there are a lot of things in Zhenhua Company and the Iron and Blood Salvation Society, and he handed over all the things of the newspaper to Zhang Jiyao after the license was done.

The Iron and Blood Salvation Society has recently held a meeting to discuss the dispatch of capable members to each province to prepare for the establishment of branches of the Iron and Blood Salvation Society. Of course, it was secretly established, and the Iron and Blood National Salvation Society was established in order to protect the personal safety of its members. It is stipulated that all members of the organization cannot disclose their identities to the outside world without the permission of the organization, and the activities of the organization must be carried out in secret. The members who are sent to the provinces must have leadership ability, decisive character, and high ideological awareness, and at the same time prepare for the establishment of branches in the provinces, they should also actively recruit members to join the society, so as to strengthen the strength of the organization, and it would be better if they could reach into the interior of the local Qing court and government.

The meeting lasted for a week, because there were many problems in sending members to various places to prepare for the establishment of branches, so these problems had to be resolved at the meeting, and the people who were sent out actually became a vassal after establishing branches in various places, and the more members of the branch, the greater the power of the branch. Will the branch break away from the head office or become a big one? What principles should the members follow in various places, and what disciplines should they abide by? How many people should each province send? These are all issues that need to be addressed.

On the issue of assigning personnel, this is actually a distribution of power, each of the top management of the election of a few familiar members, although the establishment of the Iron and Blood National Salvation Society is still very short, these high-level members of the society have not consciously fought for power, but this kind of thing is not someone who does not realize that there will not be zài, but naturally arises, about this. Xiao Zhenlei saw it very clearly, but there was no way to avoid it, no matter when and where, as long as there were human beings. If there is a group, the struggle for power will be everywhere, and we want to make this group develop benignly. It is necessary to keep the struggle for power within a certain scope, for example, it is absolutely forbidden to ignore the interests of the entire group for the sake of power. It is even more forbidden to disregard the interests of the state and the nation for the sake of power, which is the bottom line. As long as someone touches this bottom line, Xiao Zhenlei has decided not to tolerate it, and will take action when it is time to act, and in the case of external attacks and oppression, the entire organization and group must be united.

After seven days of intense meetings, the things that need to be decided at this meeting are basically decided, and the list of people sent to the provinces has also been clarified, this list belongs to the top secret text with the secrecy level of SS, once this list is leaked, it will be a catastrophe for the Iron and Blood National Salvation Society, so there are only a few people who know all the names on this list.

There are only three people from each province who are sent to prepare for the establishment of a branch, one of whom is fully responsible for the branch president, and the other two are assisted by the vice president.

Two days after the meeting, the members who had been notified packed up their bags and took the funds they had received and set off for their own destinations, and in order to ensure the safety of these people, it was also stipulated that members who were not going to the same destination were not allowed to inquire about other people's destinations.

It was late September after all the members left Shanghai for their place of work, and Zhang Jiyao had already recruited 15 people from other newspapers, two of whom were editors-in-chief, six were editors, and the remaining seven were all reporters.

The renovation of the floor where the newspaper office is located is nearing completion, and it will be ready to open at the end of the month, but the people who Zhang Jiyao dug up are not enough to start the newspaper, and even the framework of the newspaper has not been built, the office staff is not complete, and the office supplies have not yet opened.

So he and Zhang Jiyao had a division of labor, Zhang Jiyao sat in the newspaper, bought all the office supplies, and then let these people take the recruitment advertisements to the streets and alleys, and then go to other newspapers to advertise recruitment, Zhang Jiyao was responsible for interviewing people who came to apply at the newspaper, and Xiao Zhenlei went to Aurora College to recruit reporters.

Since Wang Yanan and Cheng Baguio are both in Aurora College, and both have already opened, Xiao Zhenlei chose the address of the recruitment here, on the one hand, there are two women to help, and you can also find tables, chairs, benches and a shady position, and now there are many students who graduated last semester often come back to campus, and they may be able to recruit some good seedlings to be reporters here. He has asked Zhang Jiyao to write the interview location of the applicant reporter in the advertisement at Aurora College.

After Xiao Zhenlei came to Aurora College, he first found Wang Yanan and Cheng Biyao, and they were very happy to agree to help after hearing that Xiao Zhenlei was here to recruit reporters and needed their help to introduce school leaders. So he took Xiao Zhenlei to meet the principal, the French priest Han Shaokang, who was originally reluctant after hearing Xiao Zhenlei's intentions. Later, when he thought that it would be a big news for the newspaper to set up a place to recruit reporters in the college, he could make a name for himself for the school, although the journalist was not a very popular profession in this era, but he really couldn't be a reporter without a certain level, so he agreed.

Next, with the help of Wang Yanan and Cheng Biyao, Xiao Zhenlei found a field next to the school playground, just under a big tree, borrowed several sets of tables and chairs from the school utility room, wiped them clean and placed them under the big tree, and pulled a banner between the two trees. The banner reads: Shumin Daily News Reporter Recruitment Office. There is also a profile sign of the People's Daily next to it, and there are also the positions and specific requirements for recruitment.

Xiao Zhenlei sat in the middle, Wang Yanan and Cheng Biyao both sat on both sides of him excitedly, the two of them skipped class, Cheng Baguio was responsible for sending resume forms to the people who came to apply, and Wang Yanan was responsible for classifying the resume forms that Xiao Zhenlei had interviewed and put them away, and there were several tables next to them with brushes and inkstones, where candidates could fill out their resumes.

This time, Xiao Zhenlei wants to recruit full-time reporters and temporary reporters, and the applicants for full-time reporters must be school graduates or people with a certain degree of education in society. Of course, those who have worked in journalism are preferred, but they are recruited from among the students who are currently recruiting students on holidays such as Saturdays and Sundays, and who can use holidays and holidays such as Saturdays and Sundays to collect news materials, write news articles, and send them to the Shomin Daily. Or when the newspaper has a task and is understaffed, these temporary correspondents can come in handy, and the temporary reporters are not paid much. The monthly salary can barely make ends meet, which can also help some poor students in school solve their life problems.

Soon after the stall was set up, many students came to watch. But no one came up to apply, but soon one came to inquire. A young man with thick glasses who looked like a student came over and asked: "Hello, I read your recruitment profile, your newspaper is called Shumin Daily, this name is good, but I don't seem to have heard of this newspaper, where is your newspaper?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei didn't want to be mistaken for a liar, he introduced with a smile: "The relevant introduction has been written in the introduction, our People's Daily has just been established, and the address of the newspaper is in the public concession, and it has not yet officially opened, so now we are recruiting troops and selecting good ministers and fierce generals here!" ”

The young man nodded, and then asked, "Then do you think I can apply for a reporter?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei said: "Reporters are characterful, reporters should report the truth of news events realistically, promote the light, expose the darkness, let the people have the right to know, in your news release can not be mixed with personal feelings, can not express their own views and opinions on the news event, the people's eyes are clear, a news event is right and wrong, people who read the newspaper have their own opinions, reporters can not impose their own views on others, reporters must be able to face the powerful without yielding, in the face of money without degenerating, Can you do that? ”

Xiao Zhenlei's words not only made the young man inexplicably excited, but also made the other large group of young students around him enthusiastic, and many of them couldn't help but straighten their waists.

All of them realized that the profession of journalist is glorious and great, that this is the profession that literati should engage in, and that this profession is the best stage to embody the talent and character of the literati.

The young man lifted the frame of his glasses and nodded solemnly, "I can!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei looked at the young man and asked, "Are you a student of Aurora Academy or have you graduated?" Have you ever worked before? ”

"My name is Lin Baiyi, I just graduated from Nanyang College in July this year, I stayed in Shanghai after graduation, I haven't found a satisfactory job in the past few months, in order to earn some living expenses, I write letters to people, and calculate accounts for people in the shop!"

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and said, "You take a form from here to fill in a resume, remember to write down your contact information, otherwise we will admit you but we can't contact you, and it will be troublesome!" ”

"Okay, I see!" Lin Baiyi hurriedly walked to the side, Chen Biyao immediately handed over a form, he took it and looked at it, and then found a table and chair next to him to sit down and fill it out carefully.

Then a young man in a long shirt came over and said that he wanted to apply, this young man was very thin, his face was vegetable, and he looked very malnourished, Xiao Zhenlei asked, "Are you a student at school?" ”

"Yes, I am a student at Baptist University Hall, and I came here after reading your job advertisement in the newspaper."

"Then you can only apply for temporary reporters, our newspaper recruits reporters can't make students give up their studies, and they can't conflict with students' class time, have you ever written any articles?"

"Yes, here!" The young man in the long shirt handed over a stack of manuscript paper in his hand.

Xiao Zhenlei took it and looked at it, he saw it quickly, because there were still many people waiting in line for an interview, and he hurriedly read a few articles, he found that this student's writing was very sharp, and he had a bloody view of current affairs, and he hurriedly read the remaining articles, which took about a quarter of an hour.

After closing the manuscript, Xiao Zhenlei breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the young man in the long shirt and said, "Huang Yuanxing is your pen name, right?" This pen name is very good, a little poetic, Mr. Yuanxing, I think you still don't want to be a temporary reporter, your writing is very good, very sharp, I have a job here I don't know if you want to do it, be a special commentator of our newspaper, you can write your own views and opinions on the news and current affairs that happen, and send them to our newspaper after writing, we will pay you according to the number of words, and publish it as appropriate, and you don't have to run the news outside, if you want, we will discuss the specific remuneration and treatment, I don't know what you think? ”

Huang Yuanxing thought about it and thought that it was not bad to be a special commentator, although he couldn't run the news outside, and he couldn't write the news he saw into a manuscript, but he could comment on the news that happened, isn't this just what he wanted? He immediately agreed: "Okay, I promise!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei looked at the manuscripts in his hand and asked: "I look at these manuscripts and can publish them, you can send these manuscripts to our newspaper later, or send them over in person, our newspaper will be published in a few days, and these commentator articles can just be published!" In this way, you take a form next to you and fill in your resume, fill it out and give it to the female classmate next to me, and then you go to our newspaper tomorrow to find the editor-in-chief Zhang Jiyao, you discuss the issue of remuneration and treatment, and I will say hello to the editor-in-chief Zhang! ”

Huang Yuanxing nodded, with some excitement and excitement in his expression, "Okay, thank you, sir!" (To be continued......) R527
