He said he was a special correspondent for The Economic Commentator.

The Economic Reviewer is one of the most influential economics publications in the world.

Its position in the financial market is equivalent to that of Oil Painting magazine in the field of art. Even nowadays, even the composition of the shares is very similar, which is a combination of some private family holdings and financial group holdings.

If it weren't for the fact that this reckless backpacker came from such an old-fashioned, big-influence magazine.

Elliot didn't hesitate at all, and the moment the other party took out his press card, he directly told him to get out.

Economic commentators...... It's a big media outlet, okay, let's let him come up. ”

Anna looked down at the copy of "The Little Prince" in her hand, and already had a perfect plan in mind.

She needed an outlet for exposure.

After today's shareholders' meeting.

The shareholders of Oil Painting magazine can't hope that the detective cat can rely on this fairy tale book to make a comeback, and normally, they may find a way to continue to use their influence to discredit the detective cat's artistic level.

Never mind.

Miss Elena had already anticipated this.

It's certainly not a good thing, but it won't be that bad.

The art industry and the film industry are a bit similar.

The group of art critics and professional film critics has very big rights, and they hold the right not to give you awards, which offends the Film Society, and they are basically insulated from film and television awards in this life.

But nothing is absolute.

The most important thing is still the box office and the quality of the goods. As long as the work is hard enough, the main theme film of the Soviet Union can also be won by the Oscar jury pinching his nose to award him.

The influence of art criticism is divided into occasions.

If it is an oil painting by an ordinary painter who participates in international biennials or holds solo exhibitions.

encountered the collective negation of these masters.

It will be a catastrophe directly, the scene will be very disastrous, and even the biennale audition will see your name and give it a no, and it is possible to refuse your admission.

But the illustrations are not afraid of slander, not afraid of criticism, just afraid of not having enough exposure.

That's the little benefit of being at the bottom of the chain of artistic contempt.

Black and red are also red.

As long as you draw well enough to be seen by enough people.

So in the more down-to-earth illustration industry, turning trolls into their own fans is not an impossible task.

And this era.

A large journal in the field of economics has a high influence on the social level.

Anna had seen the data analysis of the magazine before.

Oil Painting Magazine is aimed at upper-middle-class art enthusiasts, high-net-worth collectors, and financial newspapers.

They have a high degree of statistical coincidence.

Art and wealth are two intertwined polynucleotide strands on the DNA double helix that are entangled with each other from the moment they are born.

The Economic Critic, in particular, is not a very obscure academic business.

It tends to be a popular publication, and the direction of news topic selection is also very popular.

It's okay to think of this media as a newspaper for middle-class families and above.

One of its current review articles has influenced the airplay of HBO's hit TV series "Succession", which is expected to win this year's Emmy Award.

It also made the trendy toy gift pack co-branded by Bubble Mart and KAWS sell tens of thousands of copies in a week.

At this time, if you wait for a traffic light on the road, you can wait until the special reporter of "Economic Commentator" runs up by himself.

When I was sleepy, someone brought a pillow!

Anna remembers the meaningful smile of a little mushroom picker walking in the forest when she sees a fat rabbit running wild hitting her head against a stake beside her.

"You're lucky, get in the car. You can't record without explicit permission, and if you want to take a photo, you have to let me review the photo first, you know the rules, right? ”

Got an affirmative reply from the young lady.

Elliot walked back to the young reporter who was sitting on the ground.

The female secretary did not hesitate to take the recorder from his hand, turned it off and confiscated it.

The little reporter stood up and looked at the recorder that left him regretfully, but he was not too entangled.

Oil Painting magazine is at the center of the maelstrom of the art market.

Not only the art press, but also the world's financial press are now focusing on the Austrian magazine's acquisition proposal.

Everyone smelled the ink of money in the air.

I was the first to interview an important protagonist in the whirlpool.

Even if there is no special big revelation, this news can sell at least more than 10,000 euros if it is put outside.

Bet right.

This time, the help for my future career path is greater than the usual three years of running in the wind and rain under the sun.

"Regarding the shareholders' meeting, I will give you the news you want, but the content and tendencies of your writing must also satisfy me."

With a body length of nearly 6 meters, the GLS600 has a large rear space like a conference room.

The little reporter just got in the car.

Anna got straight to the point.

"Ms. Elena, I am very grateful that you were able to accept my interview, I will record your exact words in the interview fairly and objectively, but you cannot interfere with the content of my article."

The little reporter laughed wryly.

Of course, he knows very well how unfavorable the current mainstream public opinion direction is to the girl in front of him.

The beautiful rich second generation was kicked out of the company, which has the dual attributes of finance and gossip.

in the financial sector.

The last very approximate example he could think of was the Williams team.

In 2020, the traditional F1 team of the past few decades was reluctantly sold to the Dóreli Capital Group after Sir Williams handed over to his young daughter Claire Williams, due to continuous mismanagement and on the verge of bankruptcy.

The Williams family has since been kicked out of the team that bears their name.

With the renaissance of F1 taking advantage of the revival, the valuation of the Williams team has increased fivefold in just three years, once again exceeding a billion dollars.

Behind the scenery is also the gloomy departure from the scene, the expulsion of Ms. Claire and the entire Williams family downfall.

When he was just a trainee journalist, The Economic Critic wrote a scathing business essay on the subject.

It's hard for a young journalist not to connect Anna to the former Claire Williams.

There are many ways in which the two things are too similar.

It is all young daughters who take over the huge family business left by the super-rich elders, all in their hands, the founder's family is kicked out of the board of directors, and they are all taken over by the capital group.

Although the situation of the two is not fully substantial.

But Ms. Claire's current public evaluation is very negative in the eyes of many people.

"Incompetent decision-makers and chaotic managers, sinners of the family, whose hearts are higher than heaven and whose lives are thinner than paper......"

These caustic social comments can be added to the head of Ms. Williams back then.

It's hard to imagine that the gossipy public would be merciful to Ms. Elena today.

But

What does this have to do with him, a special correspondent for The Economic Commentator?

He himself is a part of public opinion.

The little reporter laughed at Miss Elena in front of him for being too innocent, and would try in vain to make him violate journalistic ethics.

If you want to write an interview report, you must be satisfied with the other party.

Isn't it just that he came to the door and wrote a floor-washing advertorial for free labor!

He is willing to lick his face and hit the car in exchange for an interview opportunity, but he is not willing to be the meat horn of the Yelena family for no reason.

Although "The Economic Critic" is in the public field, it originally belongs to the type of political stance that shifts left and right, and occasionally likes to sing against its peers.

You can make a magazine of their magnitude write a scrubbing advertorial.

The cost is definitely not a small amount.

Even if you are the chairman of the world's top 500 companies, you can ignore our interview application, and we can write articles to dick you as much as we want.

Working in a large media is just that.

"I can give the Economics Critic the scoop and only give interviews to one of your media outlets. By the way, I will send you a copy of all the written resolutions of the shareholders' meeting and the development strategy of the future magazine. ”

Anna didn't think much of the promise, these things were announced anyway.

Big exclusive?

The little reporter licked his lips.

The offer ticked his heart a bit.

Scoops and ordinary stories are on a very different scale in the world of journalism.

But......

"Lady Yelena."

The little reporter swallowed lightly and hesitated for two seconds, feeling that this condition was not enough to buy himself.

If the editor found out that he was secretly engaged in such a behind-the-scenes deal with the interviewee, he would have his press card revoked and lose his job.

Consider the return on investment ratio.

He couldn't hold back his heartbeat, but he still looked like he couldn't bend the rich and couldn't be lewd, "Miss, you misunderstood me, I really have journalistic ethics." The Economic Critic is a ......"

"Then change the conditions, Jon William, right?"

Anna glanced at the press card in her hand and called out the other party's name.

"Reporter William, I can maintain a special line communication with you for a long time, and I am willing to disclose to you in advance a series of internal changes and development plans related to the magazine in the future."

This is saying,

Miss Elena is willing to be her source of information within Oil Painting magazine?

When the reporter William realized what the other party's promise was, his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

As everyone knows.

Every journalist who can make an important scoop and stir up the storm requires that you have your own source of intelligence.

Military and political journalists can use their green cards to bribe people in areas controlled by opposition forces. Financial reporters can also bribe some low-level employees to obtain information on the movements of the company being investigated.

The trade-off is that the former is vulnerable to bullets, and the latter is easily taken away as a commercial spy by the Financial Investigation Bureau of the police department.

But

As long as you can dig up the fierce material, everything is worth it.

"What do you mean...... Ms. Elena, would you like to be my long-term informant? ”

Reporter William's whole being was enveloped by a great sense of happiness.

In Austria, the richest country in the world, it is difficult to buy a sweeping aunt to help him secretly steal discarded documents in the trash can.

And now.

There was a major shareholder who was willing to be his exclusive source of information, keep in touch with him, and tell him about the future development of Oil Painting magazine.

The majority shareholder who is willing to dig into the corner of his own house - even if it is not surprising that something strange happens here in the press, William reporter is still almost on his knees for this strange-minded Miss Anna.

"Informant? I'd rather say it's a friend. ”

Anna smiled gently at reporter William.

She took out a light sand-colored bottle and two champagne glasses from the separate wine cabinet in the back of the Mercedes.

"Listen, my friendship is not the journal of The Economic Critic, but for you personally."

Anna gracefully handed a goblet to the man with a struggling face, "Mr. William, would you like to be a friend of the Yelena family?" ”

thereupon

Reporter William really got to his knees.

"In order to ensure the fairness and objectivity of the news, I will read the finished press release to you, the interviewee, and listen to your opinions."

The Art of Language.

Being bought by the powerful to become a mouthpiece under the chain of interests is the scum of journalists and a desecration of the dignity of journalism.

However, if you are willing to absorb the feedback of the interviewee and express your opinions "impartially", then you are a good journalist with high morals.

Reporter William took a deep breath, took the champagne glass, and drank it all.

didn't kneel down and kiss someone's boots directly, reporter William felt that he really had a backbone.

Without him,

It's too much.

The journalist is the one who can get the news, and the informant who is only in his own hands is the most important asset in the hands of the journalist.

In order to grab the contact information of an informant on an important news line, two fellow reporters fought directly in the office.

If reporter William could get all the important information from Oil Painting magazine, he wouldn't care about any bullshit editors.

Lao Tzu can not even bother to pay attention to the editor-in-chief.

If you can cut off a few rumors about the upcoming oil painting fund - that is, it is difficult for a financial journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize for journalism, but a few newspaper awards are almost already beckoning to him.

In the plot of the popular political drama "House of Cards",

The Zoe reporter turned a Democratic congressman into her longtime informant, and she was the most glamorous person in the entire White House press room, even the boss had to smile at her.

Reporters who have channels to contact heavyweight informants are so bullish.

"I ...... I need to write something, Miss Elena, to be biased, but not too outrageous, or the editor will withhold the manuscript and the reader won't buy it. ”

Reporter William opened his mouth with difficulty.

Equivalent exchange.

People gave him a price that he couldn't refuse, so the demanded plot must not be small.

The Zoe reporter in the house of cards, who sold her ass and gave nude photos, got the Democratic congressman to agree to give her the exclusive information.

William must have been more than happy to betray Hue.

But this kind of good thing,

I can only drool in my dreams.

"Don't worry, I don't ask you to be too obvious, you can write the report however you want."

Yelena raised her glass as well.

Since she was a child, her health has not been good, so Anna lives a very self-disciplined life.

She does not touch any alcoholic beverages and uses this non-alcoholic champagne or wine as a substitute for social occasions, usually served to the Muslim world.

That is, sparkling sugar water and grape juice with flavoring and spices.

Anna took a sip of her sweet drink: "I just need to mention a few key points, it's not difficult. ”

The girl chuckled.

The change in William's reporter was all anticipated by Miss Elena from the moment he got into the car.

The heir to the Old Money family is the most likely to deal with journalists in the world.

Anna's family template was thrown to Britain, and she was a proper hereditary member of the House of Lords.

Almost from the beginning of the Glorious Revolution, their profession was debate, speaking and dealing with journalists.

Regardless of whether there are male thieves and female prostitutes in their stomachs, they can pretend to be for the country and the people in the eyes of the people.

How to get along with reporters is almost something engraved in the genes of aristocratic families.

She knows how to make the best bid to a reporter.

To buy with money, it may take hundreds of thousands of euros to have such an effect.

And the next time you work together, the other party will only become more greedy and want more.

Now, with just a few casual words, Anna successfully pinched Reporter William in the palm of her hand.

The other party obtained a long-term informant, and he obtained a long-term mouthpiece in the big media of "Economic Critic", and without paying a penny, he reaped a win-win situation.

"Other than that, the most important thing."

Anna turned directly to the last few pages of the shareholder resolution: "I will ask the secretary to copy this information for you to take away, no matter how you report on this shareholders' meeting, you must make the reader's attention fall on the controversy over the upcoming release of the fairy tale book "The Little Prince." ”

"The Little Prince?"

William stared at the shareholders' meeting resolution in his hand, dipped his finger in saliva, and quickly turned the page.

It would be a little weird for the financial media to focus on an upcoming fairy tale book, but since this is a proposal at a shareholder meeting, it's not too difficult to do.

"You don't need to praise your book from my standpoint, but you need to make readers who read this report at least have the interest to buy a book to see what it looks like, and you should be a professional ...... about that."

……

It took me about ten minutes to finalize the writing outline and the details of a few questions with Ms. Yelena.

Reporter William was ready to go back to the hotel to write the manuscript as soon as possible, and publish it before the official launch of "The Little Prince" next weekend.

Although he was now in high spirits and eager to write an article immediately, William cautiously rejected Anna's offer to send him a car to take him home, got out of the car and went to call an Uber himself.

The probability of being associated with something is very low, and the William reporter still doesn't want to be too close to the Yelena family in the public eye.

"Is that African female painter worth your effort?"

The LCD TV bezel between the back seat and the front row of the GLS600 slowly changed, and the female secretary turned her head from the front of the seat and asked with a complicated expression.

Miss Elena didn't ask Elliot to get out of the car and wait outside, so all the conversations between the other party and William's reporter fell into her ears.

Elliot doesn't know the secret story between Anna and the detective cat, but she can still hear that Miss is trying to get the word out for each other.

The female secretary was a little resentful and felt very unworthy for Anna.

This hellish detective cat has caused enough trouble for Miss, and if it weren't for the other party's video, Sir Brown might not have had the opportunity to make so many articles.

"You mean the conversation with the reporter you just had? It doesn't matter, everyone takes what they need, and it's not a bad thing to have good personal friendships with certain journalists. Before my aunt died, she had two or three newspaper friends. ”

Anna chuckled and explained, "As for the detective cat, after the shareholders' meeting, you haven't seen Elliot, helping her now is helping myself." ”

"And the work of the detective cat is also worth it for me to do these things for her."

As she spoke, Elena took out a fountain pen from the armrest box of the saddle and opened the title page of "The Little Prince" in her hand, on which she wrote in Juan Xiu's English letters.

"A noble work of art cannot be told by a critic, it speaks. The noble soul cannot be bound by the earth, and she will seek freedom. ”

Anna signed the signature "Mr. Sloth", took out her mobile phone, and contacted her full-time assistant at Schönbrunn Palace.

"Send me something for Detective Cat Lady."

——

"Meow?"

A raccoon cat with a round head and a round nose turned its ears and lazily tried to change to a more comfortable position and put it on the ground.

Biology generally classifies cats into the category of nocturnal animals, resting during the day and eating and hunting at night.

But domestic pet cats don't have a very fixed schedule.

They sleep all day and are active all day long. Usually, for every 65 to 78 minutes of sleep, you get up and move for 26 to 35 minutes.

If there are no external conditions, keep the sleep-activity-sleep-activity cycle repeatedly.

Awang the tanuki cat has slept enough.

She didn't want to stay there at all, just now there were sparrows chirping in the yard, and dragonflies catching small flies along the low altitude along the Yangon River not far away.

Ngawang was a wild predator.

At this time in the past, she was either chasing sparrows or shooting dragonflies.

Otherwise, it would be quite interesting to jump up and slap the uncle next door in the face who touched his tail with his hand.

But today.

Ngawang had to continue to lie down here honestly as a sculpture.

Even though she couldn't go out and played, Ngawang was a little impatient with nowhere to vent, but she decided to keep waiting.

Just because—

A hand gently stroked her hind limbs, scratching them slightly skillfully.

"Meow! Meow meow! ”

Ngawang's pupils dilated instantly, and his tail wagged and twitched.

Right

That's right!

That's how it feels!

That's how it feels!

The human hand brushed precisely between the nerve-filled bones of its hips, femurs, and tibia, like a subtle Thai massage.

The whole cat's soul seems to have been drained by this hand.

Refreshing!

It's so cool.

The cool Awang kept screaming, as if her whole cat was born for this moment.

"Ah Wang, I'll take you out to play after a while, I'll draw and play right away, and then be my model for ten minutes."

Gu Weijing scratched twice, then withdrew his hand from the raccoon cat raised by Old Man Wu's house, and picked up the sketch pencil again.
