Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Mr. Fujiyama has always admired you, but because you have already served as the editor-in-chief of "News Daily", he has not taken any further steps..."

"But the situation is different now. If you are willing to help with this matter, you are still welcome at Asahi Shimbun."

Such nonsense is just to deceive children. If Kondo Heifuku really listened to Iwami Satoshi's nonsense, then he would be extremely stupid.

If it hadn't been for this incident, Toshiyama Toshio might not even know who Kondo Heifuku was. Now Iwami Satoshi suddenly came over and told him this just because Kondo Heifuku was of value to them. What they wanted was Kondo Heifuku.

It's time to take some action to thwart Lin Daoqiu's acquisition plan.

As for whether he can take up a post at the Asahi Shimbun after completing the tasks assigned by Toshio Fujiyama, and what position he can take, that is probably not something Heifuku Kondo can decide. It all depends on Toshio Fujiyama’s wishes.

Moreover, "Asahi Shimbun" is not in the hands of Toshio Fujiyama alone. Presumably even if Heifuku Kondo helps him get this done, he will not get a good position, at least compared to his current editor-in-chief.

It will definitely be a big difference, it depends on whether Heifuku Kondo falls into the trap.

"Thank you Mr. Fujiyama for your appreciation, but it's a pity that I'm soft-spoken. Our president has always been very strong, especially on this kind of matter. He doesn't allow others to interfere at all. Even if I stand up and raise any objections, the president will

It won’t be adopted either.”

Kondo Heifuku is not stupid, it is simply a very stupid act for him to bet on Fujiyama Toshio's illusory promises at this time.

After all, Toshio Fujiyama is still only the deputy editor-in-chief of the "Asahi Shimbun". Even if he is very likely to take over as editor-in-chief, at least for now he is only a deputy editor-in-chief, and there are people higher than him.

Under such circumstances, if he rashly agreed to do those stupid things, Kondo Heifuku believed that he would definitely lose much more than he gained.

"Mr. Kondo, you don't have to be so humble. You have worked for "Newsday" for many years from editor to chief editor. It is obviously impossible to say that you have no say in the newspaper, right?"

Iwami Satoshi knew as soon as he heard that these were Kondo Heifuku's excuses, and he just didn't want to cooperate with them.

Before coming here, Iwami Satoshi had actually made various speculations and prepared different countermeasures. Even if Kondo Heifuku wanted to escape this time, it would probably be difficult for him to escape.

"I'm afraid you don't know much about "Newsday". All the decision-making power of our newspaper lies in the hands of the president. I am just a part-time worker and I really don't have a high say. And among our deputy editors, there is the president.

I am a relative, and he has a higher right to speak than I do."

Not many people know about the internal affairs of "Shimbunday". Even if Iwami Satoshi has done some research beforehand, there are many internal affairs that he does not know.

Just for the fact that Kondo Heifuku is now talking about the deputy editor being a relative of the president, Iwami Satoken had not investigated and found out before.

"In that case, how about we change the approach and you help do something you can do?"

"What's up?"

Kondo Heifuku looked at Iwami Satoshi with a wary expression, because he knew that since the other party said this, it meant that what they wanted him to do might not be something easy to do.

"We hope that Mr. Kondo can stand up and oppose the sale of the newspaper to Readers Times, thereby affecting other peers."

Kondo Heifuku didn't expect Iwami Satoshi to ask him to do such a thing. He looked at the other party in shock, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

You must know that among the newspapers that Readers Times is interested in acquiring, they all keep silent and secretly contact each other. No senior executive of any of them has taken the initiative to say no to the acquisition of Readers Times.

But now that Satoshi Iwami wants to do this, it is obvious that he wants to treat "Readers Times" as an opponent.

Kondo Heifuku believes that among those newspapers, there must be senior executives who do not want to sell the newspapers to "Readers Times", but it is difficult for them to stand up and say anything at this time. After all, the decision-making power of such matters lies in the hands of the newspaper owners.

, they are just part-time workers.

However, it is obvious that Kondo Heifuku wanted to transcend his status as an employee and use his words and actions to influence the thinking of the newspaper owner, and even create public opinion that the newspaper could not be sold to "Readers Times", thereby preventing "Readers Times" from acquiring it.

Those newspapers.

"This...I am afraid that I am of a humble nature..."

"Mr. Kondo, this is what Mr. Fujiyama means. I hope you can seriously consider our proposal. You don't need to worry. Even if something goes wrong, the Asahi Shimbun will prepare a seat for you."

You will suffer a loss."

Although Heifuku Kondo yearned for the five major newspapers, he did not want to change jobs in this way.

When he makes a big deal and leaves, "Shimbun Daily" is likely to be greatly affected by this incident, and his subordinates who have followed him for many years will definitely not get any benefits, unless "Asahi Shimbun"

Be willing to accept them, otherwise Kondo Heifuku would not consider being an opponent.

"What about the employees at our newspaper?"

Kondo Heifuku raised his head and looked at Iwami Satoshi and asked.

"Uh? What?"

Iwami Satoshi didn't understand what Kondo Heifuku meant, because they were talking about Kondo Heifuku. What does it have to do with the employees of "Newsday"?

"If the sale of the newspaper fails, it will not only affect the president, but also what will happen to the employees who work for the newspaper? Can the Asahi Shimbun also agree to take them over?"

"Haha...this...this...you are joking."

Iwami Satoshi smiled awkwardly, he did not expect Kondo Heifuku to have such an idea.

Because he always considers personal gains and losses in his mind, and will not consider how the employees of "Newsday" will be affected by their actions, so Kondo Heifuku's question made Iwami Satoshi very angry.

It was unexpected and a bit incredible.

"I'm not joking. They have been my colleagues for many years. If you and Mr. Fujiyama can guarantee that if there are any problems with their work due to the failure of the acquisition, the Asahi Shimbun is willing to take them over, then I will be willing to stand up.

What do you think about opposing this acquisition?"
