Reverse Rebirth 1990

Chapter 810 824 [A loss is a blessing]
As the largest news media in Japan, "Asahi Shimbun" has always been the "overlord" in the newspaper and magazine industry.

Because of its strong strength, Asahi Shimbun has set up bases in major cities across Japan to continuously collect various news materials from all over Japan and abroad. In addition, it has many excellent journalists, and often "Asahi Shimbun" will publish many "exclusive reports". ".

Without exception, these "exclusive reports" will "dominate the screen" on various news communication channels, so that other newspapers and magazines continue to reprint them.

……

"Asahi Shimbun", Osaka Branch——
As a branch of the "Asahi Shimbun", the Osaka Asahi Shimbun has much weaker performance than the Tokyo head office, as well as the Nagoya and Kyoto branches. Often a lot of the headlines don't come from Osaka.

As a new employee of the Osaka Asahi Shimbun, Sasaki has had a hard time these days.

Because of the poor performance of the Osaka branch, the entire branch is planning to lay off employees. New employees like him who have not passed the probation period, have little work experience, and have no special performance are undoubtedly the main targets for layoffs.

Sasaki just got married. Before that, he had worked as a photographer, company planner, and advertising copywriter. Almost every job was not long-not that he didn't care, the main reason was that these companies almost all ranked seniority, even if Sasaki No matter how hard you work, no matter how hard you work, you will eventually be fired.

But now, Sasaki really hopes to gain a firm foothold in this daily newspaper. Apart from the great reputation of this newspaper, he just got married and his wife is pregnant.

Yes, Sasaki is now the head of the family.The burden of supporting the family fell entirely on him.

During the three months at the Asahi Shimbun office in Osaka, Sasaki barely closed his eyes 24 hours a day and worked hard.

But journalism is not a job that you can achieve with hard work. Many times, as a media reporter, you have to establish a good relationship with hospitals, police stations, and many enterprises and institutions that may have big news. There must be action.

Sasaki also understood this, so within three months, Sasaki has traveled to all the police stations, hospitals and other places in Osaka, and bought a lot of drinks out of his own pocket, and brought his own business card to the police officers, doctors, and nurses—— When sending it off, I still held the other party's hand tightly, bowed at 90 degrees and said: "Please, please take care of me!" so that the other party will think of me as soon as possible when encountering big news, and call myself.

However, Sasaki soon realized that he was still too young. He just gave people the usual 30 yen bottle of milk tea, but his opponent gave a 100 yen bottle of red ginseng tonic—yes, yes Supplements that are much more expensive than his.

Poor Sasaki, in fact, his pockets are already empty. Even the 30 yen drink is the money he saved by squeezing his teeth. Now, he can't compete with his competitors at all.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and Sasaki just missed a big news - a police station had captured a fugitive, and this news was snatched by his opponent.

In Sasaki's mind, he still clearly remembered the triumphant appearance of his opponent stealing the news, as well as his sarcasm to himself: "Even if you don't sleep for 24 hours, you are not my opponent! Do you know why? Because you are not in this business at all. material!"

Sasaki retorted: "No one is born to be a reporter."

The opponent laughed loudly: "Really? If you can grab the big news, I will kneel down and kowtow to you!"

Sasaki gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Yes, it's my turn to make big news.

Sasaki walked aimlessly.

go home?
The pregnant wife will definitely ask how is today's work, what do you say, or is it a zero egg?

Back to the company?

There is no news worth publishing. If you go back, you will only be ridiculed by that hateful opponent and severely criticized by the president.

I want to find an izakaya to get drunk and touch my pockets, but I can't even get 100 yen --- the only few 5 yen are the bus fare to go home.

Just like that, Sasaki sat on a chair at the bus stop like a wooden man with a video camera hanging around his neck.

Buses came one after another, and the people sitting next to Sasaki changed and changed.

Soon, at seven o'clock in the evening, it was already dark.

The stylishly dressed female student sitting next to Sasaki looked at this strange uncle curiously.

"Uncle, can you buy me a drink? Let's go to the bar together. If you want, we can go to the hotel after drinking." The fashionable female student painted exaggerated black eyeshadow and wore exaggerated round earrings on her ears. Said to Sasaki in an ambiguous tone.

Sasaki glanced at the female students—there are many such female students recently. Unfortunately, Sasaki can't even support his wife, so he doesn't have the time to do such things.

Sasaki rejected the girl, who cursed secretly: "Poor ghost!" and then left the bus station.

Looking at the girl's back, Sasaki smiled wryly, now even this kind of girl looks down on him.

Just when Sasaki smiled wryly, his cell phone rang.

This mobile phone is a very old Sharp brand. In order to save phone bills, Sasaki often calls the landline in the company for everything, or inserts the SIM card in the phone booth to make calls. The only function of this mobile phone is to "answer".

Sasaki took out his phone and looked, a little unhappy, because the other party didn't call, but sent a message.

Be aware that there is a fee for receiving text messages.

Sasaki felt a little distressed about these SMS charges.

But when he saw the sender, he couldn't help being startled. The other party turned out to be one of his few good friends. They used to study photography together in college.

Sasaki smiled bitterly, endured his distress for money, opened the text message, and saw what this friend named "Kazuo Yamamoto" sent to him.

It's okay not to look at it, but Sasaki was stunned when he saw it this way.

Because the amount of information in this text message is really too large --- if it is true, then ---
Sasaki's thoughts surged, and his whole body became excited.

Originally dejected, he didn't care much, and waved extravagantly towards the taxi, "Hurry up, go to Asahi Shimbun!"

……

Osaka, inside the Asahi Shimbun——
As the editor-in-chief of the news agency, at the moment he is reviewing the headlines to be submitted to the Tokyo headquarters.

Sasaki's old opponent, who had snatched the news of "the arrest of a wanted criminal", was proudly reporting to the editor-in-chief how he had worked so hard to get the news.

After reviewing by the editor-in-chief, he was also very satisfied with the news value of this news, and felt that it was very important, and could be classified as the headline news in the Osaka area and submitted to the Tokyo headquarters.

At this moment, Sasaki broke in.

"Master Editor-in-Chief, I have some news for you!" Sasaki ignored the sneering eyes of his old opponent, and directly presented the new news to the Editor-in-Chief.

The editor-in-chief was very dissatisfied with Sasaki's act of rushing in—didn't he see that he was doing business, but he still took a patient look at the news that Sasaki gave him.

According to the editor-in-chief, this Sasaki probably won't be able to come up with any breaking news. He can just take a look at it, and then he can criticize him and tell him how to behave and how to abide by etiquette.

but--
The editor-in-chief was stunned, looking at the news --- his eyes were fixed.

"Have you verified it?" the editor-in-chief asked.

Sasaki nodded, "Verified - the news is absolutely true, this is the picture faxed by the other party."

The editor-in-chief took a look at the picture that Sasaki handed over, and immediately became excited.

"Quickly, contact the headquarters in Tokyo and tell us that we have big news to fax!" the editor-in-chief ordered.

The opponent who laughed at Sasaki: "..."

Dazed, "Editor-in-Chief, what about mine?"

"Your? Take yours down first!"

"..."

Sasaki glanced at his old opponent, smiled, and said, "If I have big news, I will kneel and kowtow, who said that?"

Competitor: "..."

Feel ashamed!
