Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Zhao Liang is a top student who graduated from a prestigious university in China. After graduation, he chose to work at the Nanzhou Metropolis Morning News and became a reporter.

The reason why I chose "Nanzhou Metropolis Morning News" is because the reports of this newspaper have always been relatively bold. From time to time, it will create some hot social news and attract a lot of attention.

Reporters from "Nanzhou Metro Morning Post" often become famous in the industry for reporting hot news.

To put it simply, when working at Nanzhou Metropolis Morning News, seniority is not the most important thing. Even young reporters can get ahead in the newspaper if they can catch the big news.

On this day, Zhao Liang came to the newspaper office early in the morning, went straight to the mailroom, picked up a stack of foreign English newspapers, and then returned to his job and started his daily work.

After all, there was no Internet at that time, and it was not very convenient to obtain foreign information. Therefore, many media would order foreign newspapers and magazines to obtain foreign news information.

However, it often takes a while for foreign newspapers and magazines to be mailed to China, so the information obtained by domestic media will lag behind for a period of time.

After all, there were not many people who were proficient in foreign languages ​​at that time. As a graduate of a prestigious university, Zhao Liang's English skills were much better than others, so he took on the job of selecting news from foreign newspapers and magazines.

Picking up a copy of the "New York Times" from a few days ago, Zhao Liang couldn't help but sigh. He remembered one of his classmates who went to the United States to study after graduation. He heard that he even received a scholarship from an American university.

For graduates from prestigious domestic universities, obtaining a study visa to the United States is probably the ultimate goal of the entire four-year university.

Taking Zhao Liang's university as an example, about 10% of the graduates eventually went to the United States. Of those who left, it would be good if two came back. Most of them stayed there and contributed to the development of the United States.

Already.

Thinking about those classmates who studied abroad, Zhao Liang felt extremely envious. He also wanted to study abroad and see the rounder moon in foreign countries.

However, Zhao Liang majored in Chinese, which is relatively difficult to study abroad. There is no shortage of Chinese graduate students from China in American universities.

After calming down a little, Zhao Liang started to look at newspapers and magazines one after another and read the articles above.

These are newspapers and magazines from many days ago, and the news on them has become "old news." Most of the current political news has been reported by Xinhua News Agency, and it is nothing new in China.

Xinhua News Agency has permanent offices all over the world, which can send local current affairs news to the country as soon as possible. Xinhua News Agency can also master first-hand news materials.

Some of the important current political news will be reported by Xinhua News Agency first, and other domestic media will not be able to speculate on it.

After some selection, Zhao Liang found no useful news and suddenly felt a little frustrated.

Suddenly, an English phrase came into Liang Liang's eyes.

"Ghost? Castle? Are there haunted castles in foreign countries?" Zhao Liang quickly looked over and found that the content was not about foreign countries, but domestic.

"Qinghe City built a textile wholesale market in an uninhabited rural area, with farmland covering dozens of miles. This wholesale market is completely a cosmetic project. There are no vendors or customers. It is simply a ghost castle!"

After reading this, Zhao Liang suddenly felt that he had caught a piece of big news.

"The local government spent huge sums of money to build an image project, and foreigners said it was a ghost castle. If this was reported, it would definitely attract widespread attention!"

At this moment, the figures of his seniors appeared in Zhao Liang's mind. Those seniors became famous by reporting hot news and became well-known journalists in the industry.

"The tides are turning, and today it's finally my turn to take the lead!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Liang immediately took this report and went to find the leader.

I translated the content of the news to the leader, but the leader frowned.

"The content of this article is simply to smear our country's economic development, what a hard landing, what falsification of data, the basis is just nonsense!

I said, Xiao Zhao, those foreigners are just talking nonsense. You live in China, can't you feel the development of our country? Can't you feel the rapid changes around you? "

"Leader, of course I know these contents are slander, but if you look at this ghost castle, I think it is true!" Zhao Liang continued, "The local government spends a lot of money to build prestige projects. I think it is worth digging into the report in depth."

The leader thought for a moment and then nodded: "Building face-saving projects is definitely not advisable. As the media, we should also supervise this kind of behavior. However, our reports must be based on facts and cannot follow others' opinions."

"Leader, how about I go to Qinghe in person and do some on-the-spot investigation?" Zhao Liang said quickly.

The leader thought for a moment again. He felt that he could not dampen the enthusiasm of young comrades for work, so he nodded: "Okay, then you can go to Qinghe. But I still say that I must go to investigate in person to ensure that the news

The authenticity! Also, you must pay attention to your personal safety. We journalists are a high-risk profession."

"Leader, don't worry!" Zhao Liang agreed happily.

…

That afternoon, Zhao Liang bought a train ticket to Qinghe.

After arriving in Qinghe, as soon as we walked out of the train station, we were greeted by several tricycle drivers.

"Boss, where are you going?"

"Boss, would you like to take a car?"

“Boss, it’s only two yuan in town, so you can go wherever you want!”

In the end, Zhao Liang chose one of the tricycle drivers who looked more reliable and asked: "Master, how much does it cost to go to the textile wholesale mall?"

"Textile wholesale mall? Where is it?" The tricycle driver was stunned for a moment, and then said with a confused look on his face: "Do we have a textile wholesale mall in Qinghe?"

"It is said to be built in a rural area, quite far from the city." Zhao Liang replied.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask for you." The tricycle master turned around and went to ask his colleagues.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Liang nodded with satisfaction. Even the taxi driver didn't know where the wholesale mall was. This showed that the location of the wholesale mall was indeed very remote. Zhao Liang was even more convinced that what the English newspaper said was

real.

After a while, the tricycle master came back and asked: "Boss, are you talking about the newly built wholesale mall in Ershilibao?"

"The newly built one? It should be that one." Zhao Liang nodded.

"It's quite far away. It takes an hour to walk there. You have to pay me ten yuan." The tricycle master asked for a high price.

Zhao Liang did not counteroffer, he nodded: "Okay, ten yuan, just ten yuan, but you have to send me somewhere!"

"No problem, boss, get in the car and sit tight." The tricycle master said and started the tricycle.

The tricycle headed straight for Ershilibao. On the way, Zhao Liang kept talking and kept asking the tricycle master about the textile wholesale mall.

"Master, it must have cost a lot of money to build that textile wholesale mall, right?" Zhao Liang asked.

"Of course. I heard that it occupies hundreds of acres of land and is built in a very grand manner! There are no such grand buildings in our city." The tricycle master replied.

"Have you heard? Master, you have never been there!" Zhao Liang asked next.

"Who has nothing to do to travel so far! And the wholesale mall hasn't been opened yet!" the master replied.

"It's not enabled? Is it because it hasn't been built yet?" Zhao Liang asked again.

"It has been built a long time ago. It seems that it is not used because no one wants to go there! I don't think it can be opened at such a far place." The master replied.

A conversation with the tricycle master further confirmed Zhao Liang's thoughts and deepened his trust in the foreign report.

After chatting for a long time, the tricycles were no longer in the city, the roads gradually became empty, and the speed of the tricycles became faster.

Sitting in a small tricycle, wind leaked from the surrounding sheds. Zhao Liang suddenly felt like running with the wind. The bumps inside the tricycle made Zhao Liang feel frightened. He was worried that the tricycle would suddenly hit something.

There's a car crash and everyone is killed.

At this time, Zhao Liang suddenly felt regretful. He felt that he should have taken a taxi, at least to be safer.

"Master, there's no need to drive so fast, I'm not in a hurry!" Zhao Liang said quickly.

"Don't worry, I always drive a car with one word, and that is stability! Especially if you drink three or two cups of Guotou, it will be even more stable!" the master said.

"Are you still drinking?" Zhao Liang was shocked and complained impatiently: "You don't drive when you drink, and you don't drink when you drive. This is basic common sense. Master, how did you get your tricycle driver's license?"

"Driver's license? How can I have that kind of thing!" The master chuckled and said, "Nine out of ten of us who drive three-wheelers don't have a driver's license!"

"It's okay to drink and drive, but you're still driving without a license!" Zhao Liang had the urge to jump out of the car. He said in a reproachful tone: "You drive a three-wheeler to solicit customers and don't even get a driver's license? Why are you so irresponsible?"

responsibility!"

"Originally I wanted to get a tricycle driver's license, but the conditions didn't allow it!" The master said, patting one of his legs, and then said: "Look at my leg? It's broken, and it's a prosthetic leg! I

I am missing a leg and I went to take the driver's license test, but they refused to sign up at all and said I failed the physical examination..."

"What? Drunk driving, no license, missing a leg, and still racing like crazy!" Zhao Liang was completely stunned.

You really found a reliable master!

The master said with confidence: "Boss, don't worry, although I am missing a leg, this prosthetic limb is brand new. The prosthetic doctor at the hospital said that this new prosthetic limb can be adapted to it in three or four months.

Then you can control it freely.”

"Will you be able to control it freely by then? In other words, you can't control it freely yet? How long have you had this prosthetic leg installed for?" Zhao Liang asked tremblingly.

"Didn't I tell you that this is a brand-new prosthetic leg? I bought it less than a week ago! The screws on it have just been screwed on!" the master replied with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhao Liang felt his eyes go dark and almost cried!

At this time, Zhao Liang remembered the leader's instructions to "pay attention to personal safety" in his mind. He finally realized deeply that journalists are really a high-risk profession!

…

Even though they were trembling along the way, the tricycle master still sent Zhao Liang to his destination. Zhao Liang got down from the tricycle with trembling legs.

"Boss, that's the wholesale mall!" The tricycle master pointed to the building in front of him.

Zhao Liang looked up and saw a large three-story building.

"It's really big enough!" Zhao Liang looked around again and saw patches of farmland.

"The foreigners' reports are indeed true." Zhao Liang let out a sigh of relief. At this time, he felt that it was worth the risk of taking a tricycle to come here.

Zhao Liang took out ten yuan and handed it to the tricycle master. The tricycle master put away the money with a smile and asked: "Boss, do you want me to wait for you? There are usually no people here, so you can't call a tricycle."

Zhao Liang quickly declined: "No, I have to go around here. It will probably take a lot of time and delay your business."

"It's okay, I'll just wait for you!" the tricycle master said, taking out half a bottle of Erguotou and a ham sausage from his pocket, and then said: "I can drink while waiting, and there is also a ham sausage for dinner!"

"Want to drink?" Zhao Liang quickly shook his head and pointed at the half bottle of Erguotou. He was so scared that he didn't dare to sit in this master's car.

After rejecting the master's kindness, Zhao Liang walked towards the wholesale mall.

"What are you doing?" The doorman stopped Zhao Liang.

Zhao Liang did not dare to say that he was a reporter. He took out a box of cigarettes, handed it to the doorman, and then said: "I sell clothes. I heard that there is investment here, so I wanted to come and have an on-site inspection."

"So he's the business owner!" The guard took the cigarette with a smile and let Zhao Liang in directly.

Zhao Liang walked around the wholesale mall, and sure enough, there was no one there. Then he took out his camera while the doorman was away, and quickly took several photos.

"Such a big shopping mall is really like what the foreign media said, it is completely a ghost castle! The face-saving project must have been run away! Speaking of which, foreigners call this 'ghost castle', which sounds like a gimmick. I

Also using the name 'Ghost Castle' will definitely attract attention and create a hot news!"

…

While reporter Zhao Liang was secretly digging for inside information at the wholesale mall, Li Weidong was not idle either.

In the general manager's office of the wholesale mall management company, Li Weidong was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. Ma Zhongyi next to him was holding a tea set and making Gongfu tea for Li Weidong.

"A few days ago, I went to talk to those southerners about recruiting business. I didn't recruit any of them. They have learned how to make Gongfu tea. Come on, try it. Is it authentic?" Ma Zhongyi handed a small tea cup to Li Weidong.

.

Li Weidong took the tea cup and said with a smile: "I don't know whether this tea is authentic or not, but you have to practice this technique more, and the tea will spill out."

Li Weidong said, drank the tea in the cup, and then said: "Brother Ma, during this period of time, try to find a way to spread the news to the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce, saying that the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway will be at the entrance and exit of our Qinghe City.

Located in Shilibao."

"Has this matter been settled?" Ma Zhongyi asked.

Li Weidong nodded: "It's almost the same! I wasn't sure before, but didn't the foreign media say that our wholesale mall is a ghost castle? After this incident, the city and the province were holding their breath, thinking

If we want to slap foreigners in the face, the exit of the expressway will definitely be located in Ershilibao."

"I understand! You are trying to use this news to attract business!" Ma Zhongyi nodded.

Li Weidong continued: "You can't tell the people at the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce directly about this news. You have to refuse it but welcome it. It's best not to reveal it obviously and let them guess that the exit of the expressway will be located at Ershilipuo.

!”

"What you mean is to inadvertently hint!" Ma Zhongyi thought for a while and replied: "It's not difficult, but I'm afraid that people from the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce won't take the bait!"

"Don't worry, with the shrewdness of Wenzhou businessmen, if you name the number 123, they will think of calculus." Li Weidong smiled slightly and continued:

"Moreover, Wenzhou businessmen are all over the country, and the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce has connections in the province and city. As long as we reveal a little bit of information, they can find out the rest of the information themselves!"
