Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon - Vol 2 Chapter 505
Chapter 505 A mouse shit!
“Qinghe City Textile Wholesale Mall, the planned land is 500 mu, the construction area of the first phase of the project is 37,000 square meters, and a total of 3,500 business spaces have been set up. Currently, the first phase of the wholesale mall has been constructed and passed the inspection and acceptance. At the stage of investment promotion…”
Director Li of the Provincial Propaganda Department spoke to reporters.
“Director Li, there are reports that the wholesale mall in Qinghe City was built in an uninhabited area. Not only was the surrounding area very empty, there were also merchants in the wholesale mall. Therefore, it was intended that the wholesale mall in Qinghe City was a face-saving project, and foreign media said it It’s a ghost castle, I don’t know what you think of this matter?” the reporter asked immediately.
Director Li gave a dry cough and said, “Although Qinghe City Textile Wholesale Mall is far away from the center of Qinghe City, the supporting transportation facilities are complete, and there are already a large number of merchants settled in. Of course, it cannot be a face-saving project, and it is not a foreign media. Said ghost castle!
Our province has also sent a special investigation team to Qinghe City to conduct field research. According to our field research, the Qinghe City Wholesale Mall is currently operating very well, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. I also hope that the media and the general public will refrain from spreading rumors! ”
The next day, Director Li’s response to the wholesale mall appeared in the newspaper, followed by a series of reprints.
After several reprints, news headlines have also changed, such as “Relevant Departments’ Response: “Ghost Castle” Is Operating Well”, “Local Denial of “Ghost Castle” Is a Face-saving Project” and other headlines also appeared.
Seeing news headlines like this, most people’s first impression is that they don’t believe it, and they think it must be because of the locality that they deliberately cover up and cover up the truth.
And Zhao Liang took advantage of this heat, and wrote a follow-up report, and again posted several empty photos in the wholesale mall to confirm his statement.
……
Qinghe Railway Station, Kong Zhenlong got off the train. He carried his luggage on his back, and then tucked a black leather boss bag under his arm.
In the 1990s, business people were very popular in a kind of wallet bag, which can put keys, big brother, cash, etc., the wallet bag is put under the armpit, which is the style of many bosses.
However, Kong Zhenlong is not a boss. He is a news reporter and a reporter for CCTV’s “Focus Talk”.
The black boss bag under his arm is not big brother and cash, but a small video recorder.
The journalists in the 1990s still used shoulder-resistance video recorders. A video recorder weighed more than ten kilograms. Carrying such a thing, they knew that this was a reporter hundreds of meters away.
“Focus Talk” is an in-depth news report column, and it often uses covert interview methods, such as a large shoulder-resistant video recorder, which naturally cannot be used.
So the program team deliberately spent a lot of money to buy a small camera from abroad, which can be put in a boss bag for hidden interviews.
The purpose of Kong Zhenlong’s trip was to report on the textile wholesale mall in Qinghe City.
Although the news of “Ghost Castle” became a hot news at the time, it still couldn’t be disturbed by top programs like “Focus Talk” to visit in person.
However, the emergence of follow-up reports made the editor-in-chief of Focus Talk feel that he should investigate.
The newspapers and magazines say that the wholesale market is a ghost town, and there are pictures with the truth. The local authorities denied it and said that the wholesale market was operating normally.
Who is it that lied? Is the media making fake news, or is the local area deliberately covering up the truth for the sake of face?
Regardless of the possibility, it is something worthy of in-depth reporting.
So “Focus Talk” sent the ace reporter Kong Zhenlong to Qinghe City to investigate the truth of the matter.
Kong Zhenlong walked out of the train station, and immediately there were several tricycle masters who surrounded him. They were still the lines of “Boss, where to go” and “Boss, don’t take the car”.
Kong Zhenlong turned around and chose a tricycle master who seemed more reliable.
Along the way, Kong Zhenlong kept talking about the mountains with the tricycle master, actually speaking in the mouth of the tricycle master.
The tricycle master is also very talkative, almost knows everything without saying anything, but it is a pity that the tricycle master does not have much useful information in his mouth.
On weekdays, driving a tricycle is in contact with the three teachers and the nine liu, and they are all talking about interesting things on the street. Zhang’s parent, Li’s family, is rarely mentioned about the wholesale mall. Even if it is mentioned, it is through the data of many people. , It must be inaccurate.
“The people in the old district are enthusiastic. This tricycle master can talk about the mountains than our brother in Beijing! But the level is still a bit worse. Our brother in Beijing talks about major national events. Those who popped up were all widow Wang, Widow Zhao!” Kong Zhenlong secretly said in his heart.
Only the tricycle master continued to say: “That widow Zhao, she is a handsome man! There are a lot of people in our village who give her ideas!”
“It seems that there are still many bachelors in your village!” Kong Zhenlong said with a smile.
“Not only the bachelors want to beat Widow Zhao, there are women in the family, but there are also many people who want to beat Widow Zhao!” The tricycle master said with a smile.
“I said, brother, are you also trying to beat Widow Zhao?” Kong Zhenlong said with a smirk.
“I think too, but I’m not good enough!” said the tricycle master, sighing, then knocked on one of his legs, and then said: “Did you see this leg? It’s broken, it’s a prosthesis. How can Widow Zhao see me as a lame man!”
“Prosthetics?” Kong Zhenlong was shocked, and then asked: “Master, you have few legs, how do you get your driver’s license?”
“Driver’s license? How can I have that thing!” The master smiled slightly, and then said: “I want to take the exam, but I can’t pass the physical exam. People won’t let me take it.”
“It’s still driving without a license!” Kong Zhenlong’s heart was tight, and there was a feeling of life hanging by a thread.
Fortunately, Kong Zhenlong is a reporter for “Focus Talk”. He has seen the world. He calmed down quickly and said: “Master, you are brave enough. You have one leg less. You dare to drive on the road before driving. !”
“In fact, when I first started, I didn’t dare. Later, I was brave enough to drink Sanliang Er Guotou and I was not afraid! From then on, every time before I leave the car, I will come to Sanliang Er Guotou first, and I will drink this wine. Ah, it’s safe to drive!” The master said.
“Huh? You have to drink and be brave to drive?” Even if Kong Zhenlong had seen the world, his face was pale with fright at this time.
Kong Zhenlong asked immediately: “Master, before you get out of the car today, don’t you also drank Sanliang Erguotou?”
“No.” The tricycle master immediately shook his head, and Kong Zhenlong let out a sigh of relief.
The next second, the tricycle master added: “I drank half a catty today!”
……
Finally arrived at the destination, Kong Zhenlong got off the tricycle, and then secretly gave himself a mouth.
“I’m really blind, what kind of a reliable master I am looking for!” Kong Zhenlong vomited in his heart.
Afterwards, Kong Zhenlong looked around, and he could see the surrounding farmland, but the bus stop signs could also be seen on both sides of the road.
Kong Zhenlong looked towards the wholesale market again, and he could see people coming in and out from a distance, not what the newspaper said was uninhabited.
Kong Zhenlong wrapped the boss under his armpit, pointed the camera lens to the front, then secretly pressed the camera switch, and walked towards the wholesale mall.
As soon as I entered the gate, I saw that although it was not crowded inside, there were people walking around, barely regarded as people coming and going.
“There are obviously people here, although it is not very lively, but it is not enough to say that this is a ghost town!” Kong Zhenlong secretly said in his heart.
“Boss, let me give in, don’t touch you!” A voice sounded from behind Kong Zhenlong.
Kong Zhenlong turned his head to look, and a man behind him came over carrying two doll models commonly used in clothing stores.
Kong Zhenlong quickly got out of the way, and then followed.
The man stopped in front of a bunk on the first floor and put down the model.
Kong Zhenlong looked at the shop, which was still relatively empty, but a row of shelves for hanging clothes had been nailed to the wall.
“Boss, I’m busy!” Kong Zhenlong went up to say hello with a smile, and at the same time passed a cigarette up.
The so-called not to hit the smiley man with his hand, the man took Kong Zhenlong’s cigarette and replied: “What kind of boss am I? I’m just a wage earner. Our boss didn’t come here today.”
Kong Zhenlong looked at the two doll models, and asked, “Your shop sells women’s clothing, right?”
“Yes, but it hasn’t opened yet.” The migrant worker paused, and then said; “Our boss is under the big shed in the city. There are three stalls. This is the fourth one!”
“Since there are three stalls in the city, why rent another one here?” Kong Zhenlong asked with a smile.
“To make money!” The wage earner continued: “The boss said that this wholesale mall has potential, and the future will definitely be booming, so come here in advance to occupy a good booth.”
“But I heard that there was no one in this wholesale mall before.” Kong Zhenlong said again.
“I don’t know about that. But now there are a lot of merchants here. The first floor is full, and the second floor already accounts for more than half. If you come late, you have to go to the third floor.” The worker replied.
Kong Zhenlong nodded, then set up the camera and wandered around on the first floor. As expected, most of the shops on the first floor have been rented out, as the wage earners said.
Then Kong Zhenlong walked up to the second floor, and there are also many shops undergoing simple decoration.
Looking at these shops alone, although it can’t be said that it is very lively, it is definitely not in touch with the “ghost castle”.
“It seems that when I was interviewed locally, what I said was true. The operation of this wholesale mall is very normal. Since there are so many merchants here, it shouldn’t be a face-saving project!”
Thinking of this, Kong Zhenlong couldn’t help but snorted coldly.
As a reporter, Kong Zhenlong has always been reporting facts and truths, and what he cannot tolerate most is that his colleagues fabricate news to win readers’ attention. In Kong Zhenlong’s view, this kind of non-professional ethics is simply discrediting the great journalist industry!
“A rat **** broke a pot of porridge!” Kong Zhenlong couldn’t help cursing inwardly.
……
The next day, Kong Zhenlong returned to the capital and went to report to the director.
“Old Kong, you came back very quickly! The interview went smoothly? Didn’t you encounter any obstacles!” The director looked at Kong Zhenlong unscathed, and he was relieved.
“Very smoothly.” Kong Zhenlong took out the videotape of the hidden interview and said, “Director, we have to check who reported this news first. It is completely nonsense. I personally went to the wholesale market to check it. They are doing very well, and there are many shops under renovation!”
“Not a ghost castle?” The director asked subconsciously.
“There is no ghost castle, there are many people in it, I have taken them all!” Kong Zhenlong said.
“That’s the domestic media, deliberately fabricating news to win the attention of readers!” The director frowned.
As a journalist, he also hates this kind of fake news.
“Director, since it is proved that the ghost castle is fake, can we still do this program?” Kong Zhenlong asked.
“Of course!” the director continued; “I remember that the foreign media first said that this wholesale market is a ghost castle, right? That article also smeared our country’s economic development! It seems that these domestic newspapers are not. Check it and use it directly!
We just take this opportunity to make a program. Let’s speak with facts. There is no ghost castle at all. At the same time, we are fighting back against foreign media and telling them that our country’s economy is booming. It is a fact that cannot be discredited! ”
……
Morning papers are often finalized at night, printed at night, transported in the early morning, and delivered to various retail outlets before dawn.
The same is true of “Nanzhou Metropolis Morning Post”, so for newspaper staff, their working hours are often from afternoon to evening. After the newspaper is sent for printing, the newspaper editor will end the day’s work.
Supper must be settled in the cafeteria of the newspaper during this special working time period.
At 7 o’clock in the evening, the newspaper staff came to the cafeteria one by one, ready to finish the meal.
Canteen TV also began to broadcast “News Network”.
Zhao Liang carried the lunch box and walked into the cafeteria with his head raised.
The “Ghost Castle” news he made was reprinted by many media, and Zhao Liang was a hit in the newspaper and received a lot of applause.
At this time, Zhao Liang is a popular fried chicken of “Nanzhou Metropolis Morning Post” and a focal figure in the newspaper.
Zhao Liang had a meal, walked to the table, ate slowly, and glanced at the TV screen in the cafeteria from time to time.
After the “News Broadcast” is over, there is the weather forecast, and then the “Focus Talk”.
“Hello everyone, audience friends, welcome to today’s “Focus Talk”.” The host of the show, Teacher Shui, has thick eyebrows and a rounded tone.
“The name ghost castle, I believe many people will feel shudder after hearing it, but in Qinghe City, such a ghost castle…” Teacher Shui talked to the camera.
I saw everyone in the canteen looked at Zhao Liang.
“Xiao Zhao, your report is on “Focus Talk”!” someone said.
In the next second, applause broke out in the canteen, and everyone was cheering for Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang was so excited that he couldn’t even speak!
“Oh my God, I’m on “Focus Talk”, and I, Zhao Liang, will develop!”
