nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 35 Planning to buy a car

The first time Emily Dunn got the videotape was to check what the two of them had filmed.

On the contrary, Gerry Lively touched Tao Xi's arm with great interest to signal him to look at the [editing room] the conference room in the center separated by a glass wall. Many reporters gathered in the huge conference room. The man in front of the TV didn't shy away from the indistinct eyes looking at them.

"The blinds haven't been pulled down either. It seems that Kaman has been under a lot of pressure recently!"

Emily Dunn was very serious when she was working, propping her head with one hand and quickly cutting the video with the other hand: "If Kaman knows that you shot this video in the sewer, His big mouth is sure to babble again and the whole world will know about it."

"Then you can watch and edit it for me, and take care to bring the original video to the clearing tape." Gerry Lively replied casually, but his eyes were looking at the TV in the glass conference room with interest News broadcast on the news channel~
Tao Xi had noticed the content of the TV in the conference room a long time ago. The content on the TV was the "Pawn Robbery Case in Beichangqing Community" they had just experienced. A very beautiful female reporter stood under the camera with a frightened expression on her face. Anxiously pointing at the battlefield behind her, she introduced all the content to the people in front of the TV.

The policemen behind were carrying one stretcher after another towards the ambulance, and a livid-faced policeman had just walked through the cordon and walked towards the inside. Tao Xi could see a room diagonally opposite the pawnshop along the TV. It was blown up by a bomb. As for the casualties inside, Tao Xi couldn't tell that it was one, two, three~
"Will the news broadcast on TV now affect the price of my video?"

Before Gerry Lively could answer, Emily Dunn replied confidently: "Don't worry, WJLA-TV hasn't got a big news this month, the news in the conference room must be According to Fox's first-hand news, Kaman must be jumping and angry inside now, don't look at my calm face now, if it weren't for your young age, I would definitely ask you to go to the hotel to repay you after overtime today, you Don't know what your fully filmed tape means to a news channel!"

The editor-in-chief of WJLA-TV, Kaman, kept yelling at the group of special reporters under him in the conference room of the editorial room~
Because now WJLA-TV's news channel has been reduced to the point where even those news information collection agencies don't like it, although the news channel seems to be very powerful and glamorous to everyone outside.

In fact, it is not the case. Whether a news channel is good or not depends on whether the expenses in their hands are enough~
But the budget in their hands is directly proportional to the ratings. Only when your ratings are high enough will there be enough sponsors to buy your advertising time. The more sponsors you have, the senior management of American radio and television Will give you more fees to collect information~
Generally, there are three ways for news organizations to recruit "revealing information" from outside. The first one is to tell all the viewers through the coverage of the TV channel to tell them the advertisements. Generally, 60% of the advertising clues received in this category are family ideas. Short information; the second is to reach deep cooperation with some news information organizations to purchase the news in their hands, but often in this case, it is very easy to be threatened by these news information organizations, and the explorer news organization threatened time not long ago It is the difficulties encountered by their friends and businessmen; the third is to go to the scene to shoot information through the informants of the investigative reporters or the channels they have in their hands~
However, WJLA-TV's pettiness made their ratings dwindle day by day, and some special reporters were poached, which made their good days worse day by day.

Kaman is also under a lot of pressure. If the ratings this month are not up to the standard, maybe he will have to think about how to repay his family's loan next month.

"I just want to get a clue to this news within an hour!"

"Also, our life is becoming more and more difficult now. Even if we go to take money to buy news from those night walkers, no one is willing to sell it to me. I just learned that an investigative reporter who is a member of someone else went to Deliberately contradicting the explorer? Don't you know that it is our only source of valuable clues!"

"Okay, I'll stop talking nonsense and start to act!" After Kaman said this, he clapped his hands and all the special reporters below started their respective jobs.

Emily Dunn also finished her editing work at this time, and Emily Dunn winked at Tao Xi playfully and said: "I will destroy your video tape, and you will I won't tell anyone about it, I have changed my opinion of you from the beginning~"

Just when Emily Dunn was about to kiss Tao Xi on the face, Tao Xi said something very unpleasant: "When will you give me my money, I'm still in a hurry to sleep!"

Emily Dunn, who was awkwardly present, pouted and didn't know what to do. Gerry Lively also shrugged and explained: "His approach is right. For Nightcrawler, you can only talk about money. As Mr. Tausi's agent, I propose that you give me a $2000 reward."

"Gerry, I don't know what my relationship with you was like before, but you're amazing"

"Stop!" Gerry Lively directly made a stop gesture and rejected Emily Dunn's next words: "I know the status quo of WJLA-TV. If everything goes well, this news can let you Keep the heat going for a week, if you want, I'm willing to wait for you, we still have a backup of the tape."

Tausi didn't speak after hearing Gerry Lively's words, saying that he had learned again.

"OK, OK, the amount of funds is too large, I need to talk to my special reporter? Wait for me for 5 minutes, OK?"

"Okay, we don't have a lot of time. If your time is too long, we will leave." Tao Xi also replied in a similar manner. As for the video tape backup?That's bullshit!If it wasn't for Gerry Lively, a former WJLA-TV employee, who gave him a platform, Tao Xi would have been stunned. After all, Emily Dunn had just destroyed the only videotape in their hands. in front of him.

Things were going very well. Tao Xi watched as Emily Dunn just handed over the hard drive in her hand to a brown-haired woman. Color hurriedly rushed into the meeting room just now, but the blinds of the meeting room were pulled down this time~
Emily Dunn followed closely behind, and after less than 5 minutes, the beautiful brown-haired woman tried to walk towards Tausi, but Emily Dunn was arguing with the brown-haired woman After waiting for a long time, Emily Dunn trotted over with a check in a hurry: "Just take the check and leave. Next time you have news, you can call the number on my business card, Gerry." Hurry up and take this little guy away!"

Just as Tao Xi was about to ask something, the man in the conference room called Kaman by Gerry Lively wanted to walk towards Tao Xi. Fortunately, Gerry Lively understood what Emily Dunn meant, yes After blinking at Emily Dunn, Tao Xi, who was looking at the check happily, left.

After exiting the elevator, Gerry Lively reached out and hailed a taxi.

Gerry Lively, who was sitting in a taxi, took the initiative to explain to Tao Xi: "Actually, every investigative reporter has an independent informant who belongs to him. Obviously, your strength this time was overshadowed by Emily Dunn. I like it, if you are an adult, you just ask her out for supper, she will definitely agree."

"She is not good-looking! I don't like it." Tao Xi's answer was also very straightforward.

"OK, OK, have you learned about the job of Nightcrawler now? But I suggest you better buy a car, after all, there are not many big cases like tonight."

Upon hearing this, Tao Xi replied seriously: "Okay, I have a suitable candidate for a driver, and he also likes cars very much."

Tausi returned with a full load and once again returned to the Neil Brothers hot dog stand in the US-Australia community. Today's hot dog stand is very busy, but it does not affect Neilta's special treatment for Taoxi.

Marco's mouth was full and he didn't care to look at the "new toy" in Tao Xi's hand, but Tao Xi said with great interest, "I'm going to take Marco to buy a car, and I'll be a Nightcrawler will use it, I still need to go to see Hill, recently you brought your group of brothers to help me investigate something."

As soon as Nierta heard that Tao Xi offered to let him do things, he immediately became interested.

"I bought a house in the Brentwood community, the room number is 1799, but I met a strange couple there, I always feel that their behavior is very suspicious, they are a bunch of Portuguese couples, you go Keep an eye on them." After saying this, Tao Xi took out several dollar bills from his pocket.

"No, no, the business of the hot dog stand is very good recently, and I have enough money."

Tao Xi didn't care about Nilta's answer, and directly stuffed the money in Nilta's jacket pocket: "You should pay close attention to the matter of the US-Australia Paper Industry, I already know how to get a sum from them It’s all about money, as for your brothers, I will find a way to arrange some reliable jobs for them, and this hot dog stand is the brainchild of your younger brother, don’t mess around.”

But Marco on the side choked when he heard Tao Xi's words~
Because Tao Xi bought a house and planned to buy a car, how much money did he make!Marko's face was reddened by the hot dog and he couldn't speak for a long time. Seeing Marko's appearance, Tao Xi said angrily: "Yes, yes! The driver is you, but I will sell the house. Hill is going to school. I need money, I can’t let Hill be wronged, and Mr. Williams’ family life is not very easy, Hill still needs him a lot, we need to save some money!”

"Wow! I can be a driver!"

"But it doesn't matter whether the house is a house or not. It's fine if we live in the sewer~"

Marco chattered excitedly like a chatterbox, but Taoxi squinted and enjoyed the sun in the sky. The recent harvest and satisfaction made Taoxi rarely enjoy a trace of his own happiness and satisfaction ~
Nelson's eager voice greeted the customers and made Taoxi fall into a nap. After all, 4 hours of sleep does not allow a 16-year-old boy to have enough rest.

Instead, Marco kept staring at the cars passing by the hot dog stand with his big eyes. From time to time, Marco would pop out a sentence or two of comments on the vehicles~
"This car is not good, there is not enough space."

"Ford cars are good, but some are too expensive."

"What's Tao Xi's budget? $1000? In fact, $1000 can buy an Autobot."

Instead, Nilta was standing behind the hot dog stand with his arms around a sly-eyed guy, chatting about something, and occasionally the sly-eyed guy would secretly glance in Tao Xi's direction when chatting for a while.

For Tao Xi, everything is developing normally, and everything has gradually changed a little bit because of Tao Xi's joining.
-
The frequent gains of American-Australian Paper in the Los Angeles market have caused the orders of American-Australian Paper to increase crazily recently.

Moreover, the confrontation between the United States and Australia Paper Group and the United States Paper Group was even better at a price that was 5% lower than that of the opponent. It is also reported that the US-Australia Paper Industry plans to IPO!

As soon as this news came out, all the employees in the entire American-Australian community were very happy, and the American-Australian community has also stepped out of Los Angeles in recent decades.

Because the United States and Australia Paper decided to open a branch factory in Arizona, the recruitment of branch employees will give priority to recruitment from the United States and Australia communities!

As soon as this news was announced, many strange faces that the American-Australian community had never seen appeared at the door of the American-Australian Paper Industry.

Holding a glass of juice in his hand, Tao Xi leaned into the crowd, glanced at the notice posted on the factory gate, and then left, but Marco, who was standing outside the crowd, said excitedly: "Tao Xi! Let's go to San Francisco. .”

"Okay, okay! Let's go buy a car first, and then go to receive the contract from the West family. We also have passports now."

"Yeah, I know, I know. I will check the doors and windows of Old West's house when I go. You must know my craftsmanship. Don't worry if you leave it to me! With me, I guarantee that their house will not be here. There's a thief visiting!"

Tao Xi nodded thoughtfully when he heard Marco's words and muttered in a low voice: "I also made an appointment with the priest of the Southern Brotherhood. It should be no problem to have him around then."
