Chapter 520: Reporter [1]

Hunter is the leading reporter of the Imperial News, and he is Chinese New Year's Eve three years old, which is a good time to be young and strong. His ancestors were also nobles, and when he arrived at his grandfather's generation, he stood in the wrong direction because of the problem of standing in line, became a victim in the palace infighting, was deprived of the title of noble, and became an ordinary person.

But no matter how ordinary it is, it is definitely not comparable to real ordinary people, the wealth accumulated for more than 200 years has made the ordinary people of this family live quite well, and after the new party came to power, they finally ushered in the spring of turning over. The wealth and connections he had accumulated in the past were finally working, and his father became a wealthy capitalist who ran two factories.

And he, against his father's wishes, did not learn how to manage the business, how to develop the enterprise into a business, and secretly took the tuition fee to a very famous feature reporter as a teacher to learn how to become an excellent reporter. His dream is to use the pen in his hand to expose the truth of the world through the medium of newspapers, so that people can see the real world.

Thanks to his father's connections and wealth, he did a decent job in the journalist industry, especially after the George family was overwhelmed, losing the capital of the monopoly industry, and the newspaper industry also ushered in a major reshuffle. The brutality of this reshuffle made many people recall the comfort of the existence of the George family when they were facing bankruptcy and bankruptcy. Many newspapers have not experienced such wars, and they have long been accustomed to paying for news and publishing it to earn subscriptions.

They don't need to know what brains, they only need to buy news→ typesetting and printing → sell, there is no problem of competitiveness, this kind of comfortable life makes many newspapers in the face of great changes in the newspaper industry, can only passively deal with the battle, because they do not know how to enhance the competitiveness of their newspapers, how to protect themselves and defeat opponents at the same time, how to go to a higher position in this field.

But there are also some newspapers that stand out from these people, and the Imperial Capital Xinrui Daily is one of them. The newspaper was formed by a group of young people with dreams and pursuits, with an average age of less than 30. Hunter invested 50,000 yuan, holding 35 percent of the shares. It stands to reason that all he needs to do is sit in his office and review his daily press releases, but he prefers to be on the front line rather than a boring job.

Perhaps it is his attitude of leading by example and charging at the front line that makes the atmosphere of the Imperial Capital Xinrui Daily very good and very energetic.

This time someone wrote him an anonymous letter with some inside information about the Namillinders attack some time ago. According to the official account, it was a large-scale attack triggered by a group of bandits who had fled to Namirinders in retaliation against the chief of police. More than 10 people were killed in the attack, including the police department, and Mayor Todd was implicated and transferred to another location.

However, the letter said that the time of the attack was due to the struggle between the two forces, and it also faintly revealed the conflict between Namirinders and Otis, which made people think about it.

With his sensitivity to the news, he immediately realized that if everything in this anonymous letter was true, once the contents were excavated and sorted out, it would be enough to shake the whole world. What makes him even more excited is that he is very likely to win a big prize - the George Journalism Award.

If such a journalism award had been established three months ago, many people might not have taken it seriously, but three months later, people have begun to remember the days when they could still make money without fighting with the world, and with the awe-inspiring life of Mr. John, this award suddenly surpassed the original gold medal for journalism to become the most recognized industry award by the newspaper and news industry. In addition to the generous prize money, more importantly, it can bring great fame, I heard that as long as you can win the Best Journalism Award three times in a row or eight times in total, you can get a lifetime honorary certificate signed by Mr. John before his death!

To be recognized by a tycoon who once monopolized the newspaper industry is an exciting honor to think about.

So, driven by a variety of factors, Hunt came to the city of Nam Lindes. His first reaction when he arrived here was to look back at the station sign where he was leaving.

He had been here before, about four years ago, and he had followed his teacher, a prominent reporter from the Feature Press, to interview then-Mayor Todd about the economic boost that Namirinders had become an important transportation hub in the middle of the empire and how the economic boost it had helped the surrounding cities. It was a very formal interview, when he came to Namillinders, the whole city was like a huge stove, and you could see people busy everywhere.

But now...... There are still a lot of people on the street, but they have become infinitely inclined to an ordinary city, and there is no nervousness on the faces of these people, only sorrow.

Hunter was greeted by a city hall clerk who called the guy and asked him to talk about it at the restaurant where he had last eaten.

A little after six o'clock, the town hall clerk appeared in the dining room, wearing a hat with a low brim, and Hunter might not have recognized him if he hadn't walked to Hunt's table and sat down.

"Is it so late for the city hall to get off work now?", Hunter took the initiative to pour a cup of flower tea for the other party, "I ordered a double grilled steak for you, as well as appetizers and fruit cubes, if you have anything to want, I will order it when the waiter comes." ”

The man nodded, took off his hat, and revealed the face of a middle-aged man in his forties. He had pale blonde hair, which didn't look very good, and he looked a little haggard, and he had deep bags under his eyes.

He tore off the tie at the neckline, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you have any interview assignments this time?

He looked at the small number of diners around him and whispered, "I was told that the attack on Namirinders was not as simple as the official said. ”

The guy across from him was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up, "Mr. Hunt, this joke is not funny, if you are here for this, then you may be disappointed, and I don't know anything, I'm leaving......"

Hunter grabbed his arm, "I'm very sincere, this news is important to me, what do you want?", from this guy's reaction, Hunter knew that what was said in the anonymous letter was true, otherwise the other party would not be so sensitive, which also made him even more excited. The revelation that the mayors of the two cities are stabbing each other like gangs is enough to shake the whole world.

He can fully imagine that the new party will lose face, more scandals will break out in more places, and a tsunami of public opinion will gradually form, and in addition to the glory of his achievements, he will also be able to let his father be appreciated and recognized by those members of the old party. Maybe their family will have a chance to re-enter the political arena and regain the glory of their ancestors!

Yes, Hunter, as well as his father and the entire family, were supporters of the old party camp.

The man twitched his arm but didn't pull it out, he looked at Hunter, "I really don't know about this, you should ask the others." ”

"Twenty thousand!"

"No, after you listen, it's not about money, it's ......"

"Thirty thousand!"

"Let go of ......"

"Fifty thousand!"

When Hunter quoted the price of 50,000, the man obviously hesitated, according to the "Memorandum of Understanding on Currency Normality" signed between the Empire and the Federation last month on the issue of currency exchange rates between the two countries, the Imperial Cabinet and the Federal Assembly have reached a high degree of agreement, no matter how the financial order of the Western world changes, the exchange rate of the Imperial Star Dollar to the Federation Shield will be nailed to the exchange rate of one to four.

50,000 is enough to exchange for 200,000 federal guilders, which can allow him to live a good life on the federal side, and have a little spare money to invest in some industries, or start some business on his own.

In the process of his hesitation, Hunter quoted a price of 100,000, completely breaking his psychological defense.

To be honest, the atmosphere in the town hall of Namirinders has been very delicate since the attack, and no one likes to have a wyvern lying next to them, or the kind of wyvern that eats people. It's Todd and his die-hard supporters who are unlucky this time, so who will be next?

Breyeren personally went to the city of Otis to meet with Dulin, and the news he brought back was not very good, maybe he thought it was good, but these staff in the town hall were much more "smart" than Blelen, and an industrial city would never be as good as the Namelindes model of the past, and even worse than the current Otis.

Coupled with the fact that those of them who know the inside story have been asked to keep their mouths shut, it is obvious that their path to promotion in the future has been cut off, and it can be said that there is no hope for the future.

If you can jump out with a sum of money at this time, it may also be a good choice.

100,000 Star Yuan, 400,000 Federation Shields, no matter how powerful Du Lin is, can he still interfere with the Federation?

That's a lot of money he won't make in his life!

He felt the palm of Hunter's grip on his arm loosen its strength, but he had no intention of leaving. He straightened his clothes and sat back down.

"What do you want to know?"

Hunter laughed, he and his mentor learned a lot and benefited a lot. However, he found that even if he mastered all these things, he would never be as useful as his own talents.

Wealth!

When someone needs to break their leg for a piece of news, he only needs to take out a handful of bills, and someone will rush to sell him the news. This trick has been unfavorable in his career as a journalist, and perhaps this is the benefit of having money.
