Li Donglai was also a person who loved money, but he knew in his heart that in the general environment of this era, the usefulness of money was not as great as that of later generations, and it could even become a burden.
The unhealthy ideas exposed by Yan Bugui and the residents caught the attention of Comrade Zhou. In the following days, Comrade Zhou established a temporary study class.
Yan Bugui and the residents had to receive study and education every night, and they also had to write down their learning experiences.
Li Donglai considered that he had caused a lot of noise in Stockholm this time, and in order to prevent interested people from causing trouble, he reduced the number of outings and began to prepare a Nobel Prize speech.
Outside the hotel.
Reporters Shakas Jensen and Benfang Vieira are anxiously waiting for news.
They come from the British newspaper "The Sun", which was formerly the "Daily Herald".
In order to change the initial poor sales situation, it was resold to media tycoon Murdoch.
After Murdoch took control of the "Sun", he reformed the "Sun" and adopted a large amount of vulgar, sensational content and unprofessional writing techniques.
Soon "The Sun" became a well-known newspaper in Britain.
When the news that Li Donglai captured the Midnight Butcher and rescued the noble lady Therese reached England, it immediately attracted the attention of The Sun.
In The Sun, there is only one condition for evaluating whether an event has news value, and that is whether it is eye-catching enough.
Li Donglai comes from the mysterious East and can bring a sense of mystery to newspaper readers. Miss Therese is the heir to a large family and has noble blood. If the encounter between the two can create a spark, it will definitely cause a sensation.
.
Shakas Janson and Kanata Vieira had already planned the interview angle before setting off. As long as Li Dong came to be interviewed, they would bring the topic to the relationship between the two. Of course, even if there is no relationship,
It doesn't matter, their specialty is misinterpreting the words of their interviewees.
However, what the two of them didn't expect was that Li Donglai refused to accept the interview and hid in the hotel.
Shakas Jensen and Kanto Vieira also tried to bribe the hotel concierge to allow them to sneak in and prepare for forced interviews. This was their tried-and-tested technique as reporters. But it failed here.
effect.
Those concierges who had always been jealous of money actually turned into gentlemen when faced with their pounds. Shakas Janson and Benjamin Vieira even felt that these people had been assimilated by the Orientals.
There are no interview opportunities, and it is impossible to create interview opportunities. Could it be...
Shakas Jensen raised his head and looked at Vieira: "Vieira, this interview is very important. We have been here for five days. When I called to report the situation last night, I was criticized by the editor-in-chief.
It’s a bloody mess. If we mess up, we’ll probably be kicked out of the newspaper office when we go back.”
"I know, but that person won't accept the interview, what can we do?" Jenson frowned: "Are we going to make it up out of thin air..."
After saying this, Janson suddenly raised his head and looked at Vieira: "You mean, we made up a piece of news?"
After speaking, without waiting for Vieira to answer, Janson shook his head and rejected his idea.
"No, no, fabricating news violates the professional ethics of journalists. Once discovered, your reputation will be ruined. I can't do that."
Vieira breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Janson was just worried about losing his reputation, rather than subconsciously objecting.
Although The Sun purged a large number of honest reporters after its reorganization, no one can guarantee that Jenson was not pretending to be dishonest for the sake of work.
After all, the method used this time was too bad and completely violated the professional ethics of journalists.
Vieira stared at Janson and said: "How could it be discovered? Even if the Oriental man clarifies, no one will believe it."
"That's true." Jenson nodded.
Vieira continued: "Also, we are not making this up randomly. We can also interview some police officers, local restaurant owners, and even passers-by."
"With their testimony, even if the final report is proven to be false, the two of us are also victims. Who made those interviewees too cunning!"
Jenson was tempted, he knew Vieira's operating methods.
For a small fee, the passers-by being interviewed can say whatever they want.
....Although this may go against professional ethics, Li Donglai is not at a disadvantage if he can be involved in scandalous news with an aristocratic lady.
For an aristocratic lady, a handsome and mysterious oriental man is enough to match her status.
There may have been a secret romance between the two of them, and their newspaper office was doing good things.
It has to be said that people will always try to convince themselves before going against their own principles.
Vieira soon felt at ease, stood up and nodded: "Okay, let's do it like this."
.....
How to induce the interviewee to reveal the required materials is a professional and technical task that cannot be performed skillfully without more than ten years of interviewing experience.
But this is not a big problem for the talented Jenson.
The sky is overcast and drizzling.
The two quickly found the first interviewee.
He is a nearby resident. According to the information Jensen received from the informant in the police station, this old worker who has worked at the dock for more than 20 years once witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Li Donglai subdued the Midnight Butcher.
The old worker smoked low-quality cigarettes, raised his eyelids, and recounted countless scenes to the two foreign reporters who spoke broken Swedish.
"That night, it was cold and dark. I had just finished eating clam soup. Maybe the clams were not fresh enough and my stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so I held my stomach and went to the public toilet downstairs. Halfway there, I saw a thin figure tall and tall.
I jumped up and hit a tall man with my fist. At that moment, the thin figure reminded me of the legendary knight. God, he is so brave, he is so..."
Jensen interrupted: "We are not interested in the fighting process."
"You foreigners are really difficult to serve." The old worker said with disdain: "It's only 1 kronor, that's all I can say..."
Before he finished speaking, a pile of banknotes appeared in front of him.
Janson put the banknote in his hand, patted it gently, and looked at the old worker with a strange look: "Here is 1,000 kronor. I want to know if the man who rode up and saved the princess is with the princess."
1,000 kronor... The old worker's breathing became rapid. He worked at the dock, exhausted, and risked falling into the sea. His monthly salary was only 52 kronor. With this money, he could
I bought a ham that I had always dreamed of and tasted it carefully at home. Just thinking about the taste of the ham made the old worker swallow his saliva.
At this time, the old worker saw that Jenson put the money back into his pocket.
That's my money, my ham!
The old worker was anxious and wanted to grab it, but Jansen intentionally or unintentionally lifted the hem of his clothes, revealing a pistol.
The black luster of the pistol reflected in the old worker's eyes, causing his pupils to shrink suddenly, and he suddenly woke up.
The old worker rubbed his hands, stopped and looked at Janson: "This gentleman from England, after your reminder just now, I seem to have remembered something again, but the specific details are still a bit unclear."
Jan Sen looked at the old worker indifferently: "You can recall the details slowly, but I don't know if you are willing to recall them?"
"Yes, but..." The old worker rubbed his hands.
Jenson took out the money from his pocket and said with a smile: "If you are willing to let me help you remember, the money will be yours."
The old worker nodded repeatedly and stared at the banknotes unable to move.
Jensen chuckled and said slowly: "Qiu Shang defeated the monster, but his arm was also injured. Seeing this, the stunningly beautiful princess rushed to Qi Shang's side and tore off her skirt regardless of the risk of exposing her calves.
Hem, help the knight bandage the wound. In the process, the two people inevitably have physical contact. The princess is very beautiful, and the knight is moved. Well, this is a logical development. "
"Yeah."
"According to the development of the plot, they should find a hotel to rest. However, the knight from the East was more conservative. Considering his own honor, he took the princess to the police station. There, the knight learned the princess's identity and decided to have sex with her.
A relationship that goes beyond friendship. That’s also logical.”
"Yes Yes Yes."
"And because the princess was saved by the knight, according to the development of the story in the fairy tale book, it is a matter of course that the princess falls in love with the knight."
"Okay, okay."
"It's just that the knight knew his identity and couldn't reveal his thoughts in front of everyone, so he secretly told the princess a secret date place. The two of them came to the place quietly while no one was paying attention. The knight was in good health.
, their stamina was also very strong, and they came out of the date place two hours later. However, they did not notice that an old worker named Pakka happened to pass by, and Pakka also happened to be a witness to the scene where the knight rescued the princess.
.Because knowing them, it makes sense.”
"Yes, I'm Pakka." The old worker only saw the stack of banknotes in his eyes, and then he remembered his name.
The corner of Janson's mouth raised slightly: "Paka is a good person. He did not blackmail the knight and princess because he broke their secret. Instead, he was moved by the love between the knight and the princess. In the following period, Paka
He often went to the church to pray for the two of them. There, he met the princess again, but this time the princess was crying. Both Paka and the princess were believers, so it was reasonable for them to meet in the church."
"Yes, I am a believer."
"The kind-hearted Paka couldn't see the princess being sad, so he stepped forward to ask the princess. Under normal circumstances, the princess would not confide in a stranger. But at that time, she was so sad that she lost her mind. Paka therefore
We learned that the knight wanted to break up with the princess. The reason is very simple. The knight is an Oriental and is not allowed to marry a foreign noble lady. Our understanding of the Orient makes us think it is very reasonable."
"Paka is a good man. He doesn't want to see a touching love story destroyed by reality. He doesn't want to see a beautiful princess unable to be with her beloved knight. He wants to do something, but he is just a small worker.
What can be done?"
"At this time, two reporters from England met Paka when asking for directions. Well, this is also reasonable. After learning the identity of the reporters, Paka decided to use the power of reporters to help the princess, so he wrote this paragraph
The secret love story was revealed. The kind-hearted Paka was also rewarded. It makes sense, right?"
"It's very reasonable." Paka couldn't bear it anymore and stretched out his hand: "Where's the money?"
.....
Jensen, who has many years of work experience, knows how to make a false thing appear more real, or even turn it into something that really happened.
One witness is not enough.
Fortunately, this interview was well funded. In the following time, Jensen also recruited employees from the police station, volunteers from the church, and the groom from the Therese family...
The testimonies of these people were reasonably intertwined, forming a huge chain of evidence.
To destroy any piece of evidence in this chain of evidence would require the confessions of at least five people.
Does a young man from the East have so much energy?
Jensen is not worried about the intervention of the Therese family. The current Therese family has been hiding behind the scenes and will not go to war for a romantic affair. In England, those declining aristocratic women will even pay to hope that the newspaper will
You can publish some of their romantic stories to expand your reputation.
....
According to the chain of evidence, Jensen and Vieira collaborated to write a 2,000-word press release.
They radioed the press release back to Sun headquarters.
That night, Jenson received a call from the newspaper's editor-in-chief.
On the phone, the always stern editor-in-chief of the newspaper, after praising Jenson's work, asked a must-ask question.
"Jenson, can you guarantee that this news is true?"
Jensen held the microphone in his hand, looked up at the dim incandescent light bulb, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Of course we can guarantee that, just as you once taught us, there are many types of truth in a piece of news. We are just reporters, not
Almighty God has no way to distinguish one by one. As long as we can find the truth that readers are interested in, that’s fine.”
"You're fine."
After a vicissitude of voice, the phone hung up.
Jensen put down the phone with disdain, looked at Vieira and said: "See? It's not that we don't want to be real reporters, but the situation forces us, they force us to make up news. It's not our fault, it's their fault
.So don’t worry anymore. After the news is published, if there are no follow-up interview tasks, we can go back and collect the bonus."
Vieira was already drunk at this time. He stared at Janson with his big bloodshot eyes and said: "Old friend, in my opinion, we are deceiving ourselves."
Janson stood there without making a sound, just watching Vieira drink cup after cup of Absolut Vodka. This vodka from a small town in southern Sweden is world-famous for its high alcohol content.
After a long while, he sighed: "Maybe you should change your job."
