Chapter 279: Trading
"What about the content? Is it no longer reviewed? Dean Nakajima, the Chinese newspapers have not received the slightest news about this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Know that the real is the news, and if what we publish turns out to be false, it's a scandal! ”
Someone finally noticed the other key point of the matter, what exactly is the source of the Central China Dispatch Army? If Huang Haoran was really killed by the imperial army, according to the Chinese's leaky secrecy system, Shanghai should have received the news long ago. With such a big news, it is impossible for the market to be calm.
Although Nakajima had the same concerns, the draft stamped with the seal of the Central China Dispatch Force Headquarters was equivalent to an order that must be carried out unconditionally.
"Gentlemen! Although we are now the president or editor. But let's not forget that we are part of the Empire's overall Greater East Asia project. It is necessary to unconditionally cooperate with the actions of the military headquarters, this is an order from the emperor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! ”
When the emperor was moved out, there was no room for manoeuvre, and the Japanese in the room began to discuss the layout and printing plan. Kobayashi Akiyama was called by Nakajima alone, and was asked to use all means to get the press release to appear in the newspaper to be published tomorrow morning.
Two hours later, the Concession, Edward Hotel. Xu Jianqiu, senior editor of "Declaration", touched the velvet cloth bag on the table and fell into deep thought. Kobayashi Akiyama, who was sitting opposite, kept smiling, but the coffee in front of him didn't move. The two of them have had many "private cooperations" before, and although Xu Jianqiu doesn't like the Japanese, he likes the real money in the hands of the Japanese.
Founded in Shanghai on April 30, 1872 (March 23, the 11th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty), the newspaper with the longest circulation time in modern China and extensive social influence, is the beginning and symbol of modern Chinese newspapers. The wide-ranging influence was unmatched by other newspapers of the same period. It is precisely because of the transcendent status of the "Declaration" that the Japanese will use this obscene means of bribing editors after repeated failed acquisitions.
The fingers came to the touch of a hard bang, strip-shaped, cold, lying in the flannel bag should be gold bars, the number is not less than five, it seems that this time the Japanese need Xu Jianqiu to do things are not simple.
"Xu Sang, my old friend, you can give me a happy word, can you set aside a page for me in tomorrow's newspaper...... Oh no~ I should say it's today now......"
Kobayashi Akiyama rolled up his sleeves, revealing the Swiss watch on his wrist, and then tapped his fingers on the crystal surface. He was brakedly showing off his wealth to the other party. Because Xiaolin Qiushan knew that Xu Jianqiu was a money fan, only if he made his eyes red first, the rest of the things would be easier to do.
A gorgeous model, a shiny strap, and a very expensive thing at first glance. Xu Jianqiu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, in the past, the transaction price between him and Xiaolin Qiushan was only a few hundred fiat currency, and this sudden high price was really a little too exciting. Xu Jianqiu wanted and was afraid.
With more than five small yellow croakers and a Swiss high-end watch with an unknown price code, what article does this Japanese want to publish in the declaration? Gotta figure it out!
Money is indeed a good thing, but it also has to be spent with a life. After the fall of Shanghai, it was not the peaceful world of Japanese propaganda, and the Qing Gang, the Wuhan government's hidden forces, and agents from various fields were killing people or causing explosions every day. Once you're put on the title of a traitor, you can easily become a few lead words in newsprint.
Although Xu Jianqiu was the editor of the declaration, he was unwilling to use his life to increase the sales of the newspaper.
"Kobayashi-kun, you know, I'm not the editor-in-chief. If you want to publish articles that promote Japanese militarism, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. The articles you've sent in the past have been very obscure, and they've done a good job of hiding your propaganda attempts. This is the only way to avoid the eyes of the editor-in-chief and publish it. But even such an article was picked out by sharp-eyed readers afterwards, and the editor-in-chief has been angry lately, and things are not going to be easy......"
Maybe it's because he's made enough money recently, or maybe he doesn't want to take a risk subconsciously, Xu Jianqiu put the ugly words at the forefront as soon as he came up.
As Xu Jianqiu said, the relationship between the declaration and the Japanese is quite bad. After the fall of Shanghai in 1937, the Japanese side implemented a censorship system in an attempt to control the "Declaration", but the "Declaration" announced that it would reject the Japanese censorship of the press, and on December 14, 1937, it voluntarily stopped publication. After that, the "Declaration" adopted a curve policy, and its Hankow and Hong Kong editions resumed publication in early 1938. On October 10 of the same year, the National Day, the "Declaration" officially resumed publication in the Shanghai Concession in the name of American businessmen, still adhering to its purpose and work policy of "shouldering the responsibility of being a pioneer in society and advancing the times, so that the society can enter a reasonable normal track, and the nation will achieve prosperity and prosperity", and it does not buy the accounts of the Japanese at all.
It is precisely because of this conflict that when the manuscript is now reviewed, the editor-in-chief and several chief writers of the application completely reject the article that supports the Japanese invasion. It was precisely because it was particularly difficult for the Japanese to break into the declaration that Xu Jianqiu was able to take the opportunity to knock Kobayashi Akiyama a few times and make a fortune.
Xiaolin Qiushan was not angry, because he knew Xu Jianqiu too well, although this guy wrote good articles, his character was quite bad, not only like gambling, support, prostitutes, but also smoking opium, such a person would not be able to live at all if he didn't have extra money, just relying on the salary he was declared for. Therefore, Xu Jianqiu is by no means unwilling to help, but he just feels that the price is not suitable......
"Mr. Xu, please rest assured, I am not bringing a propaganda article from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but a real piece of news! Although this is not good news for you Chinese...... But, the people need to know the truth, don't they? This is completely in line with the principles that you have always adhered to in your declaration, and I think you should take a good look at it before commenting on it...... If I were the editor-in-chief of your newspaper, I would be rewarded for digging up such a big news! ”
The yellow cowhide envelope was taken out of the briefcase and pushed in front of Xu Jianqiu, containing an article written by Mao Nakajima himself. The press release of the propaganda organ of the Central China Dispatch Army really cannot be used. Mao Nakajima almost racked his brains before changing the perspective of a third party and expressing the attack and death of Huang Haoran. The whole article looks as if it was written by a foreign correspondent in Wuhan, and the ambitions of the Japanese empire are completely hidden under the hypocritical sadness.
Xu Jianqiu hesitated for a few seconds, and finally picked up the envelope, took out the article inside and read it...... (To be continued.) )
