RB people's gambling nature can be seen in this matter, after all, from gambling on personal future, to gambling on national fortune, for this kind of thing that can change fate overnight, even if there is only a 1% possibility, RB people will make crazy moves after thinking.

"Section Chief Zhong, you said that each of these RB newspapers made a verbal promise on the phone, will they not give money afterwards?" Zhou Shengli still seemed to feel that everything that had happened in the past two days was a little unreal, so he asked for verification again before everyone moved their chopsticks.

Zhong Bai unhurriedly picked up a piece of sheep and scorpion and put it in the bowl, and replied slowly: "Editor-in-Chief Zhou, this is not buying and selling rare earth concentrates, you can also take credit. To report on this thing, as long as they accept the fax of your newspaper and send out the manuscript, then the fact of the contract has been established, and it will not be the turn of the other party to repay the debt, otherwise as soon as the facts are disclosed, then the other party's stock price will plummet immediately, which is not a responsibility that the clerk can bear. ”

"Editor-in-Chief Zhou, don't worry, Zhong Bai has not dealt with RB people once or twice, and there has never been an RB person who can bargain on him, and he obediently sends money over." Yu Dongfeng explained with a big grin, glanced at Zhong Bai by the way, and said with a smile: "I'm right, Zhong Bai?" ”

"Hehe, it used to be real goods, patents and something. As for the news, this is the first time it has been sold, haha. But it seems that the RB people are quite generous, I originally thought they were going to bargain, but in the market economy, there is no room for bargaining if there is competition, who let these three newspapers compete for the title of the first newspaper in the country of RB? Zhong Bai replied with a smile.

In fact, in the previous life, whether it was the Asahi Shimbun, the Yomiuri Shimbun, or the Mainichi Shimbun, they competed with each other for more than 100 years, but no one ate anyone, and the three-legged situation remained unchanged until 2020.

However, in this life, because of the fact that this reprint of the special issue of the Beiguo Rare Earth Concentrate Factory will affect this pattern, it is not something Zhong Bai can predict.

And today, I specially pulled Editor-in-Chief Zhou out for dinner, in addition to thanking the other party for his efforts, Zhong Bai also has another meaning.

"By the way, Editor-in-Chief Zhou, where do you want your newspaper to develop in the future? I don't know if your leaders have expressed this? Zhong Bai took a bite of haggis and asked seemingly casually.

Zhou Shengli shook his head and asked strangely, "Development?" How can this thing be expressed by the leader? Aren't we all cadres, who eat with salaries, the newspaper office is also public, we have it in the mining area, and the city, provincial capital and capital all have their own newspaper offices, a radish and a pit, how else can we develop? ”

His answer was not unexpected by Zhong Bai, after all, there has not yet been a stage of a hundred flowers blooming in China's public media industry, at least until the late 90s, there will be a newspaper such as "Huashang Daily", although it is still controlled by Huaguo Media Group, but with a high degree of autonomy.

The situation is completely different in those old capitalist countries, such as the three major newspapers of RB and YG's Sky Media, etc., they are essentially owned by big capitalists and serve the core interests of capital, so many interest groups have mastered the media to use for their own propaganda, and of course also to smear "enemy countries" and their own competitors.

Therefore, it is not a matter of one or two days for foreign media to hack China, nor is it a matter of which person or media has the final say, it is completely capital that is doing something in it.

In the last life, even in 2020, whether it is Huaguo industry or Huaguo's products, they have not been hacked by these foreign media, which has to be said to be a pity.

And with the comprehensive victory of the three major newspapers of RB this time, Zhong Bai suddenly had an idea, that is, why not take advantage of the current opportunity to arrange a good media (newspaper or magazine) in advance, which is specially used for propaganda against foreign countries, while promoting China's industrial products, and "brainwashing" those foreign capitalists in reverse?

Compared with the down-to-earth industrial industry, don't underestimate the role of external publicity!

The Chinese people have always paid attention to doing things in a down-to-earth manner, being low-key and low-key, and keeping their money in vain, but in the fiercely competitive international community, this has advantages and disadvantages.

Especially for the rare earth industry, which is a high-tech and lucrative industry, there is publicity and no publicity, which are completely two concepts!

In the future, whether it is the sale of better quality rare earth concentrate after the Beiguo rare earth concentrate plant improves the process, or the high-end rare earth products such as NdFeB permanent magnets produced by the developing Ningyuan rare earth metallurgical plant, whether the publicity is in place or not will have a very great impact on its selling price and profit margin.

So thinking of this, he happened to meet Zhou Shengli, a capable, down-to-earth and problem-free editor-in-chief, Zhong Bai suddenly had the idea of starting his own media, which led to tonight's dinner, and the question he just asked the other party "What is the development of the newspaper".

If Zhou Shengli takes the initiative to pursue better development and has his own ideas, then of course it will be better, and it will be more convenient for him to jump out and do things!

But apparently Zhou Shengli is a very traditional person, or to put it another way, his thinking is far from reaching the height of Zhong Bai's vision.

Generally speaking, this answer is similar to Yu Dongfeng who asked Zhong Bai stupidly in the dormitory before he opened his mind, "What is a toad mirror"!

Zhong Bai smiled slightly, and couldn't be too anxious, so he knocked on the side and said: "The development of your "Mining Area Weekly" has been explained very clearly at the opening meeting that day, that is, to make an influential newspaper in the global rare earth industry. But now I'm not talking about this, but Editor-in-Chief Zhou, do you have any personal ideas? ”

"Do I have any ideas?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shengli's heart jumped up with an unassuming "bang".

In the 80s, as long as you eat the national meal, there is no one who is not nervous when you hear this sentence.

The reason is very simple, this shows that the opportunity for promotion has arrived!

So Zhou Shengli's answer was a little stammering: "I...... I, of course, are looking for progress! ”

Yu Dongfeng smiled when he saw Zhou Shengli's appearance, and he didn't say anything, knowing that Zhong Bai must have moved to dig people again, so he asked with added fuel and vinegar: "Editor-in-Chief Zhou, how much is your monthly salary now?" ”

"Me? Our newspaper is not a good unit with a lot of oil and water, and the salary is only 42 yuan a month, which is still my editor-in-chief for seven years, and now I have just joined the young people, only 28 yuan a month, and only 90% of the heating expenses in winter are reimbursed, and the rest have to pay out of pocket! ”

Yes, hearing this answer, Zhong Bai and Yu Dongfeng couldn't help but glance at each other at the same time.

It seems that the situation of this "Mining Area Weekly" is not good, it is roughly the same as the Shanping County Fertilizer Factory before Zhong Bai did not participate in the work, not much better.

Now, then, it is undoubtedly possible to poach people from the perspective of the simplest remuneration!
