Chapter 404: The Paleolithic Artifacts 800,000 Years Ago
Chihara Rinto quickly browsed Maeda Toshihito's information, and after looking at it, he became a little interested in talents.
This person came from a prestigious school, and his resume has been extremely beautiful since kindergarten, but that is not important. Major TV stations are not wanted by the elites of prestigious schools, and the reason why they look up to this person is that his ratings have been very good over the years. Obviously
I put too much thought into the program and really studied this industry, and I have never done anything half-heartedly. Combined with the results of Shintaro Yasuda’s private investigation, it’s impossible not to appreciate it - he works hard and lives a self-disciplined life, which is completely entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
A good candidate, he wants such subordinates.
He is willing to pay a high salary to such a person, but it is a pity that this person has worked at Sakurajima TV Station for fifteen or sixteen years. He is also a lifelong employee. He should have a deep relationship and probably will not choose to change jobs.
For a moment, he couldn't bear to fix this guy. He hesitated for a few seconds and planned to ask Yasuda Shintaro to change his target. Anyway, Sakurajima TV also had a lot of producers, directors and screenwriters, and they could always pick out the unlucky ones, but
In the end, I gave up this plan.
No matter what, it was this person who was plotting against Yoshizaki. Even to show his attitude, he had to be repaired to prevent him from causing trouble again and again. Moreover, this person was very capable at work, and several of his colleagues in charge were
Genre programs have good ratings and should be one of the pillars of Sakurajima Productions. Only by repairing this guy properly can Sakurajima Productions really feel the pain. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to just kill a cat or a dog.
However, this person is really difficult to deal with. He is the type who is not afraid of skewed shadows if his body is upright, his feet are not afraid of crooked shoes, and he is basically invincible...
Forcibly pour dirty water on him, it is immoral and unethical, and it is easy to get bitten back; don't forcefully pour dirty water on him, this person has nothing to be ashamed of.
No wonder this person dares to engage in private competition. It is most likely because he is confident and knows that he will not be afraid even if he is found out.
How to do this?
Chihara Rinto also feels a little bit like Sakurajima and Tokyo Broadcasting Teb's previous mood. Meeting such a "sage" in this industry is really enough to make people scratch their heads.
He was at his wits end and unwilling to give up. He read the information over and over again for a long time and almost wanted to give up. After all, it was really difficult to start with. Maybe he should change his hands to demonstrate, but he browsed to the information that Maeda Toshihito was responsible for recently.
When the program was listed, he suddenly felt something in his heart. After thinking about it, he said, "Yasuda-san, please don't worry about this matter for the time being. I'll handle it myself first."
"Yes, I understand. If you have anything to do, please give me your instructions at any time. I won't bother you for now." Shintaro Yasuda agreed happily and immediately resigned. He originally didn't want to get involved in these messy things, just Chihara Rinto's messy things.
I have to give him orders, unless I use him as a housekeeper, there is really no way.
Shintaro Yasuda was busy with his own work, while Rinto Chihara took a closer look at the title of the program called "Celebrity Diggers ~ The Paleolithic 800,000 Years Ago". This is a long-established and powerful program of Sakurajima TV.
One of the autumn chapters of "Japan is the World's No. 1", it has about six episodes, and it is currently only airing the second episode - he knows this show, and in his impression this old show has been around for seven or eight years.
It mainly produces albums of celebrities whose achievements can be regarded as "the best in the world", ranging from sashimi, Japanese food to entrepreneurs. The ratings have always been quite good, and the ratings can basically be above 20% every season.
However, he didn't care about the format of the program. He stared at the line "Paleolithic Age 800,000 Years Ago" and recalled it carefully. He felt that he must be right. Even if the major events in the two worlds were slightly different in time,
It shouldn't be that bad. Obviously, the archeology of stone tools in Japan was abandoned in the 21st century. After combing through the whole of Japan, the earliest Paleolithic tools from 30,000 to 40,000 years ago were found. They should be excavated in the late 1990s.
There is nothing from about the same era as Northern Ape.
It must be academic fraud, maybe there is something that can be exploited!
He immediately asked his secretary to find the video of the program and watched it directly in his office.
The program is beautifully produced. The protagonist is a guy known as the "Famous Stone Digger", "God of Stone Tools" and "Hand of God". His name is Nao Shigeta. He dropped out of high school and became a taxi driver, but he likes archeology.
, I often go to excavation sites to work in my spare time, but other than that there is nothing special.
But in the early 1980s, he became famous when he successfully excavated 48 Paleolithic tools and fragments from about 30,000 to 40,000 years ago at the "Sanmu Site" in his hometown of Miyagi Prefecture - the Japanese worship history, but
The ancient history has always been unclear. The soil in Japan is highly acidic, making it extremely difficult to form fossils. It is even more impossible to leave behind bamboo and wood remains. Generally, ancient history can only be studied through the Paleolithic tools. The discovery of Nao Shigeta directly established that there were humans in Japan.
The history of life has advanced from more than 10,000 years ago to more than 30,000 years in one fell swoop, which is definitely a major discovery in the history of Japanese archaeology.
And this was not the end. Then Shigeta Nao continued his efforts and discovered Paleolithic tools in many sites in Miyagi Prefecture, which in one fell swoop verified the history of human life in Japan to 170,000 years ago.
At that time, he was very sensational in the archaeological circle. Many people thought that he was a "genius" in the excavation of Paleolithic tools. He had extraordinary sensitivity to Paleolithic tools. They were looking forward to his further performance. Shigeta Nao did not disappoint.
I simply stopped renting and became a full-time archaeologist. I traveled to Miyagi Prefecture, Hokkaido and several nearby counties, working tirelessly under the stars and the moon. In 1991, I discovered three Paleolithic tools dating back 400,000 years.
Three years ago, he discovered a 600,000-year-old Paleolithic tool, and last year, he raised the history of human life in Japan to 800,000 years ago - he found twelve more 800,000-year-old stone tools.
of Paleolithic.
Of course, it is not that no one has doubts, but the study of stone tools in Japan is very unpopular. After all, few people could find valuable things before him. It is not an ordinary niche, and the stone tools excavated have all been appraised by experts.
, no traces of forgery were found. Although it is suspicious that he is the only one with such good luck, this is just a guess and there is no direct evidence. It is very risky to accuse him openly. The atmosphere in the Japanese academic circle is very conservative, and you can blame others at will.
Scientific research results are generally understood as personal attacks due to jealousy, and arbitrarily treating others as "sinners". The consequences are extremely serious. If Shigeta is fine, he himself will be ruined first.
By now, his reputation has become relatively loud, and he is considered to be out of the niche circle. It was probably at this time that he was discovered by Maeda Toshihito, who made a half-season program with him as the theme, intending to introduce him to the national audience.
Let’s use him to boost the ratings. Nao Shigeta also cooperated very well with the filming and even said that he enjoyed it.
When Chihara Rinto watched the end of the second episode, Nao Shigeta, who looked quite scholarly, joked with reporters and said that the next step would be to personally take the audience to establish an excavation site, search for ruins, search for Paleolithic tools, and strive to collect all of Japan's ancient artifacts.
The history of human life has advanced to one million years ago, and efforts are still being made to find skull fossils of super apes to prove that humans originated in Japan, and Japan is the birthplace of human civilization.
The reporter was also very supportive, sighed repeatedly, praised his efforts, and planned to follow him to shoot so that all the people could witness the historic moment. Finally, they also called on the Ministry of Science, Culture and Education to revise the textbooks quickly so that students would still think that Japan
It is not correct that the islands were inhabited only 30,000 to 40,000 years ago. Japan’s history is much longer than imagined.
Chihara Rinto spent nearly two hours watching the program. The first impression was that Maeda Toshihito really had two brushes. The main direction of script design was to tease national emotions, make a fuss about national pride, and then add a certain amount of
Popularizing science and arousing the audience's curiosity about how long Japan's history is is really great. It's no wonder that this program can still have such good ratings after so many years.
The second feeling is that he feels that this story is somewhat familiar. It is not that he is familiar with Shigeta Nao. He usually does not read academic news, and is not interested in archeology. He has no impression of this person, but that this matter is in his original life.
There seems to be something similar in the world, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. After all, he didn't pay much attention to archeology at that time, so he can't remember it now.
However, it must be academic fraud. After all, if you don’t mix it with national pride and the like - of course, he can’t mix it with it, that is, if you look at it from a normal perspective, this matter is ridiculous no matter how you look at it, it’s a pig.
It’s hard to believe that such a weird thing could only happen in an era when the Internet was underdeveloped.
If we were in an era when there were more netizens than dogs, this person would have been hammered online to the point where his skull would be split.
At least this is the case in China, but the national character of Japan is a bit strange. It is normal to believe that some people are born with geniuses and create miracles. They are also very superstitious about authority. They basically have no doubts about respected scholars. Their obedience is not ordinary.
height of.
In other words, this is probably why such weird things happen in Japan.
He was really speechless and was distracted for a while before he started thinking about how to use this thing.
Maeda Toshihito is the producer of the show. If there is a big problem with the show, he will bear the main responsibility. However, it seems that the exposure does not have much weight now. The accusations are almost all Shigeta Nao's, and it cannot hurt the other party's muscles and bones...
He made a good plan there, pressed the intercom, and asked: "Is Hitomi Konoe in Tokyo? If she is, ask her to come over immediately. Also, call Okano and Ishiwatari from the news department."
"
The big boss ordered that the efficiency of the people below was naturally doubled, and Hitomi Konoe happened to be in the production bureau asking for equipment for the crew, and Okano and Ishiwatari came right after them.
Hitomi Konoe didn't care. She often came to Chihara Rinto, her master, to report. But Okano and Ishiwatari were sweating on their foreheads, not sure why the director suddenly wanted to find them. They were just two young reporters, even if they were guilty
If it's a mistake, it's not the director of the production bureau's turn to scold him personally. If a director or a special agent comes out, it will be a shame. Usually, the producer or the deputy director will scold him - what's going on, it's not revealed in the previous news.
Have you caught the big surprise?
But isn’t it mainly about daily life news now? The first two issues were about medication issues in vegetable greenhouses and pig breeding in pig factories. This doesn’t involve any powerful people, right?
Chihara Rinto should be the most stringent director in the history of the Kanto Alliance. He rewards and punishes heavily. He doesn't like the traditional "collective responsibility" in Japan when something goes wrong. The responsibility is always placed on the individual, which is really embarrassing.
They felt guilty, but Chihara Rinto didn't talk nonsense to them. He turned the small TV screen and asked them to start watching "Japan is the World's Best Autumn Chapter". After a while, he ordered: "This person is committing academic fraud."
, the stone tools were most likely buried by him himself. Check carefully where he plans to excavate the ruins, and set up an ambush in advance to take secret photos. The guards are responsible for this matter, Okano, Ishiwatari, you two will assist, and we must get irrefutable evidence."
It turned out that there was a mission. After Okano and Ishiwatari breathed a sigh of relief, they understood instantly - just look at the station logo and you will know that this program is from Sakurajima TV. The director wants to repair the competitor and hurt the other party's ratings.
Rate.
This kind of thing is normal in the industry, and the Kanto United Federation has been repaired a lot in the past. They don't mind at all, and they are even a little excited to be able to participate in this kind of thing - this is a task assigned by the director himself, and it is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
They immediately lowered their heads and said, "Yes, we must get irrefutable evidence."
Hitomi Konoe was not so easy to talk to. He stared at the screen for a while and asked curiously: "Master, I think this person is an expert and seems to be very powerful. He can't be a liar, right? And you don't understand archeology.
How do you know he is lying?"
Qianyuan Rinto glanced at her sideways, and explained to her a few words while guarding the outsiders, "Let's not talk about why he was the only one to find it. Just think about it with your brain. Stone tools hundreds of thousands of years ago are buried deep in the ground.
Affected by underground water flow, earthquakes, land movements, etc., how is it possible that dozens and dozens of them are still neatly arranged on the same level? Especially when they are all basically intact. Even if they are cracked or peeled off, they are not far away. Once you find them, you can find them.
I can put it together."
Hitomi Konoe looked carefully at some of the excavation videos used in the show and was stunned: "Hey, when you say that, it's really a bit suspicious, but even if it's a lie, how do you know that he hasn't been buried yet? What if we
What should I do if my trip was in vain?"
She had to ask clearly first, otherwise she wouldn't be able to handle things later. It didn't matter if she was hit in the head, but it would be bad if she missed Qianhara Rinto's affairs.
Qianhara Rinto shook his head directly and said: "It should not be in vain. He wants to excavate the ruins, not just dig a hole. The area will not be too small. He cannot do it by himself, and even if it is a ready-made excavation site, he
He won't bury it in advance, otherwise if others discover it first, wouldn't his work be in vain? More than 90% of the time he will do the deception the night before the excavation. This way, the chance of an accident is lowest and the most beneficial to him, so you also
You have to act quickly, Sakurajima TV is following him in the production of the program, and judging from the progress of the recording, it is almost here."
Hitomi Konoe had no doubts. She didn't talk too much, but she was reliable in her work. She also knew why Chihara Rinto sent her. She was probably keeping an eye on the two reporters from the news department to avoid them.
He didn't pay attention to the work and missed the important opportunity. He nodded directly and promised: "Don't worry, we will leave right away."
Qianhara Rinto turned to look at Okano and Ishiwatari again, and ordered: "In addition to obtaining video evidence, you must also launch a private investigation. This person has been cheating for so many years and has not been discovered. There is no big problem because of the Paleolithic
They are basically all genuine, so he most likely purchased them bit by bit anonymously from different places overseas, saving them for use every few years. You can also follow this line to check and see if you find anything. In short,
I’ll give you two weeks, the more comprehensive the evidence, the better.”
"Yes, we understand."
Qianhara Rinto was still a little worried. After thinking about it, he added, "This mission is very important, and you have performed well before. You must do it well this time and get promoted when you come back. Don't let me down."
Okano and Ishiwatari were stunned for a moment, and suddenly became more energetic. They made a few more promises, and then they suppressed their excitement and followed Hitomi Konoe out, while Chihara Rinto looked at "Japan is the Best in the World"
This show, I turned off the small TV.
Take your time, get the hard evidence first, and then...
