Star Media Helmsman

() (The long-lost six thousand chapters, if you talk about the title, this one is more domineering.)

In a mansion in a wealthy area in the south of the Yangtze River, the sudden ringing of the phone broke the tranquility that this time should have. A desk lamp was lit on his head, and the receiver with a simple and exquisite design was picked up.

It was past two o'clock in the morning. The man who picked up the phone glanced at his wife who was still sleeping after turning over beside him. His frowning brows were naturally filled with irritability. It's a true portrayal of his mood, but the subordinates who would be silent after hearing his tone in the day are already panicked enough at this moment, and if they don't listen carefully, they think that a big man speaks with a crying voice.

"President, you should come and see for yourself, there are no more newspapers..."

"What did you say?" A moment later, the shock in his voice of questioning still contained great sullenness. The man got out of bed while questioning, his movements were not light, and his voice gradually became louder. He ignored his wife's greetings when he was awakened. , he frowned and looked at the only window in the bedroom. . .

"Where's President Shin?"

Outside the window, a light pierced the night, "We, we can't find President Shen now, and the left-behind employees told us that the new president decided to take a holiday today... President, I have already sent a car to go there, you should go there yourself come and see……"

'when'

The exquisitely designed microphone was directly knocked on the seat, and the man who was indifferent to his wife's questioning was completely awake. Even though the scene described on the phone was a terrible nightmare, he still put on his shirt in an orderly manner.Putting on his tie, the woman who was used to his attitude got up after him.After finding the suit and holding it in his hand, he followed her husband out of the bedroom door.

"Donghao and Youxi go through the study abroad procedures quickly. They are all grown up and can't mess around anymore."

The man took the suit jacket and left the door after speaking. Even if his wife delivered it to the door, he didn't say goodbye. The woman seemed to be used to his absolute position in the family, and just nodded to the man's back, as if it was such a big event to send her children abroad. It doesn't matter whether you agree or not.The man walked through the beautifully decorated garden, and there were already cars waiting outside the gate.The driver had already got out of the car and waited aside. When he saw the man coming out, he immediately opened the door.

"President." When the man got into the car, the driver bowed and greeted him.

The Audi sedan started quickly, and the bright headlights flew across the quiet community, leaving only darkness behind.The man sitting in the car was as silent as a mountain. After a while, he took out an old mobile phone, and the diffuse light on the screen illuminated a face full of determination.

"He should have made a move." This was the man's opening remarks.

"What about you?" The voice on the phone didn't seem worried. < fu Relevant agencies can understand.But being so blatant is either too stupid or makes us easy to bully. "

"Maybe he treats you as a bully?" The man on the other end of the phone laughed, without the slightest sense of crisis in his tone, "What are you going to do? Use your brains. I'll do my dirty work, Lin Weiran. Now that the guy is open, there's no reason why we shouldn't bankrupt him."

"It's not enough to go bankrupt. A lesson is necessary." On the other end of the phone was Jeon Dong-geun, the current president of Dong-Ari News, and on the other end was Pei Rongguang, Han Mourya's disciple and grandson.After helping his old black-rimmed glasses, Jeon Dong-geun has always disliked his partner's exaggeration.

"Lesson... You said he is a woman? This little guy is too ignorant of his own position. He went to Wenrou Township to stay for a few days, and when he came back, he wanted to find us for supper. I don't know that there is a limit to the height of the sky and the earth. Young people just like it. You take yourself too seriously. But I heard that guy Kim Jae-cheol has gone, will he play tricks in it this time?" Pei Rongguang's voice was like a person, and he could imagine his rough appearance just by hearing his voice.

"Whether he is involved or not, we are still the same as before, just wait and see what happens."

After Quan Donggen finished speaking, he wanted to end the call, but Pei Rongguang's voice still came from the other end of the phone, "I heard that the woman is still an artist, who is it, you and I can find out with a little effort."

Quan Donggen frowned, "What do you mean?"

Pei Rongguang replied, "It's nothing interesting, I just want to say hello to this little guy, and it is said that that girl seems to be on the tip of Lin Weiran's heart, and I also want to see what she looks like."

Quan Donggeun said solemnly: "There are rules in this circle. If you want to continue to cooperate with me, you must be cautious in doing things. If a woman can affect the overall situation, Lin Weiran will not be able to get where she is today."

Pei Rongguang disagreed: "That's why I said hello. This little guy has been in the limelight recently. He even has a name on the side of Assistant Officer Zheng. Shinhan Group? It's no big deal. It doesn't have a deep foundation or a wide network. It can do it. Isn’t it so loud and seductive that there are big figures behind the scenes? When I first met Assistant Officer Zheng, he didn’t even get out of the car, but now he personally stepped forward for this boy who was soaked in gentleness. If he really wants to make him stand, there is still Where is my place?"

Jeon Dong-geun's frown suddenly brightened, "You want Shinhan?"

Pei Rongguang laughed and asked, "Can't you?"

For a moment, Quan Donggen had countless thoughts in his mind, and after a while of silence, he said: "It is best to deal with it in a low-key manner."

……

The daylight was dim, and the man standing in front of the Shuguang Printing Factory was still looking at the street not far away, but the empty road let alone a car, and there was no one in sight at this time. He took out the cigarette case, but had to face the embarrassment of being empty. His pale face immediately twisted, and he gripped the cigarette case violently, and then threw it on the ground.

The Dong-A Ri Newspaper sells more than one million copies every day in Seoul. The printing of so many paper products naturally requires the equipment of today's large-scale printing plants. The news after being typeset at twelve o'clock every day will be sent here in the form of data. Five hours of printing can meet the daily circulation of newspapers.At five o'clock, the vehicles of the distribution company will come here to pick up the daily newspapers. Regular subscribers and free newspapers in public places must be loaded on the vehicles at this time.But based on the status quo seen by men, today's East Asia Daily.It seems that the sunroof is about to open in Seoul.

People are used to it every day, and they are not surprised.It's just that the newspapers I used to read suddenly disappeared... This is a status quo that no one can imagine.

The man didn't know how many times he took out his mobile phone, and he already had a countermeasure for this absurd situation and wanted to report it, but when he thought of dictating the president who has always been known for being strict, he froze on the spot because he wanted to keep his job .

Fortunately, the car has arrived.

When he saw that Audi appearing at the intersection, the man seemed to see a savior.

"President."

"how is the situation?"

A man jogged all the way from the door, followed the car to meet the man at the door, and said breathlessly: "It was almost two o'clock when I received the news, but President Shen was not there, and the guard on duty just told us today Rest. I also called the vice president here, but according to him, he doesn't know anything..."

The man's tongue suddenly became knotted, because a ray of sunlight was reflecting on his face, he glanced behind him, and he really saw the dawn of death.

"continue."

Quan Donggen's voice came, calm, as if it could calm people's hearts, but the rest of the time made the first man who discovered the abnormality desperate, and he said anxiously: "President, I have already contacted other areas near Seoul. If we contact the freight company and ask them to pick it up there, even if we can’t catch up with the first time. We will also complete the distribution of daily newspapers before noon..."

"With so many people working overtime, you can't complete today's distribution volume on time. Do you know how much you will lose?"

Quan Donggen interrupted the man's words, but he hadn't finished listening.He completely rejected his countermeasures.After that, Quan Donggeun didn't say a word, but just took the man who was extremely eager in his heart into the printing factory.Under the light of the incandescent lamp overhead, none of the printing machines that should be running at full capacity at this time are working normally.The luster of the metal anti-se light is extremely dazzling at this time, even after seeing this scene again, the man still feels dizzy.

"Where is the computer room?" Jeon Dong-geun asked.

The man was taken aback, and pointed in the direction of his side.

Quan Donggeun stepped forward, still not in a hurry, like a wise man with a well-thought-out plan, the man quietly followed behind him, matching the rhythm of this man, even his anxious state of mind calmed down a lot.

Turning on the computer, the fan was humming. Seeing that Quan Donggen compiled the layout of today's East Asia Daily and deleted the large section of prepared news with his own hands, the man was stunned on the spot.

"You did a good job. Continue to contact the printing factories in the surrounding areas of Seoul, and ask the shipping company to help. This is the news from the East Asia Daily today."

The man stared dumbfounded when he saw the large characters on the white document.

……

"Boss, bring me a copy of the East Asia Daily."

Hearing the question, the owner of the newsstand waved his hand, with an apologetic smile on his face, and explained as he did many times before: "I don't know what happened today, the newspaper delivery person hasn't arrived yet."

Watching the customers walk away, the owner of the newsstand restrained his smile, sat in the booth and raised his head. The wall clock on the wall pointed to a quarter to six. It was time for work, and there were more and more pedestrians on the street. The home newsstand is located near the Myeongdong subway station, and there are basically customers who come to buy newspapers and magazines every minute.Letting the customers leave empty-handed again, the always kind newsstand owner couldn't help complaining in his heart, he didn't understand why there were so many customers buying East Asian newspapers today, and he also didn't know why the people who delivered the newspapers to him were so late today .

"Boss, Dongya Ri has reported for duty."

Voices from outside came in, but the news didn't make people feel better. The peak of scattered sales has passed more than half, and now he can't sell so many.Because many customers were let go, the very angry boss walked out of the newsstand, and was thinking of reprimanding the newspaper delivery man who had worked with him for several years, but when he saw the stack of waste papers piled up on the ground, his whole body was shocked. I froze on the spot.

"what is this?"

"East Asia Daily."

The owner of the newsstand raised his head and saw the madman's expression on his face.

The paper delivery man shrugged and said, "I don't know what's going on. It was like this when I got it at the distribution station."

The owner of the newsstand looked at the stack of 'newspapers' again, and even knelt down to examine it carefully.Newspapers are composed of pictures and text, and most of the pages are also designed in colors that relieve reading fatigue, but today the East Asian daily newspaper is completely white.It is even a little dazzling in the sun to see the Korean characters written on one side of the newspaper.The owner of the newsstand turned around and only saw the word '今ri'.

"Boss. I have to go to the next one."

The newspaper delivery person has long been familiar with this strange scene, and delivered it all the way. Every newsstand required him to spend a lot of time, so that the newsstand owner signed the delivery certificate, and the newspaper delivery person rode on the electric bicycle. , just about to start, I heard a question: "There are so few East Asian newspapers today?"

This is not the first time I have heard this question, and the newspaper delivery person answered familiarly: "That's all I got when I got it, [-] copies for each newsstand. No more."

"Three hundred copies?" the newsstand owner murmured, looked back at the delivery man who had gone away, and then brought the newspaper in.

The word "今ri" on the white page always echoed in my mind. The boss took out a copy before distributing the goods, only to feel that today's East Asian newspaper is much lighter than usual.

Opening it up to read, the line of words came into view, and the owner of the newsstand widened his eyes, completely astonished by this complete sentence.

'No Lies Today'

On the newspaper spread out to cover most of his body, there was only this sentence.

the remaining.All are blindingly white.

……

At the same time, the same scene was being staged in thousands of newspaper kiosks in Seoul. The bosses were either stunned and woke up by customers, or quickly put on goods in the hope of attracting customers.Those who are bold will say a few words to others, and those who are timid simply put away all the newspapers and never show them to meet guests.at the same time.Such a weird newspaper spread rapidly on the Internet. First, some weird pictures circulated on the Internet.Then came the exchanges between the major portal websites, and it took only an hour to surpass the Tian'an ship incident and become the number one in the search rankings.More and more people know about it.

From learning to talking, and from talking to action, people driven by curiosity not only search on the Internet, but many of them verify it in the place where the unit or school provides newspapers for free, or take a copy for collection. , Or to show off to others after witnessing the weirdness, it only takes a moment, and the position of the newspaper column belonging to the East Asia Daily becomes empty again, and the East Asia Daily seems to have never been so popular since its establishment.

Not long after, the major portals published various news, and the status quo with divergent opinions was finally led to be divided into categories. Some reports said that this was released in response to the investigation of the Cheonan ship incident by the Ministry of Defense yesterday, and some reports said that it was aimed at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday. Speaking of South Korea-US relations, a large newspaper with the second largest circulation in South Korea suddenly made such an extraordinary move. Apart from politics, no one is here to speculate, but there is no doubt that "No Lies Today" has become a The biggest initiative of Korean media in the past ten years, in the history of Korean media, this is enough to be recorded in the annals of history.

More and more public opinions joined in, more and more curious people joined in, and political organizations of unknown origin also joined in, and chaos ensued as expected. The doubts that this move was a hype were also lost in many different voices, and became speculations that only belonged to a very small number of people.

The front of the Dong-A Ri News Agency building in Chung-ro District is full of water. Reporters with ID cards are everywhere. Knowing about the same, the truth is delineated in a very small range, except for a limited number of high-level, even the editor-in-chief of the East Asia Daily is at a loss. After reading the newspaper, I was stunned for three seconds, and then laughed like crazy, stunned all the people in the newspaper who wanted to know the truth again, and finally just murmured that I taught a certain good student in vain .

Only those who have worked in this newspaper for more than ten years know how superior the editor-in-chief's students are now.

At noon, 'No Lies Today' was already very popular, and this edition of the East Asia Daily, which was only issued in Seoul, had disappeared from the market. Everyone wanted to collect a copy of such a novel newspaper, and the reporters in front of the East Asia News building There are more and more, and some TV stations even drove OB vans.

It's a pity that the East Asia Daily has not given any explanation for this move until now. The official website has been paralyzed after being logged in countless times, and the hotline has been busy all the time. The reporters who have the means to get the mobile phone number of the high-level All disappointed, because since the morning, these big shots who can't bring any news to Japan have cut off contact and scattered all over Seoul.The reporters who tried to get news by the old-fashioned way of blocking the door also made a wrong calculation. Only the freight company sent all kinds of mysterious news.For example, newspapers in other regions except Seoul are 'normal', and the reprinting of 'No Lie Today' is done in several printing factories far away from Seoul.The printing time also did not match the time required for the normal release. A well-informed person came to the Shuguang Printing Factory, which was closed, and searched everywhere, but they still could only return without success.

In a conference room on the upper floors of the East Asia News Building, the emergency council has been held for a long time. Amidst the reprimands of the audience, Jeon Dong-geun remained silent, while the man who followed him since yesterday was explaining in vain.

"It is an indisputable fact that the emergence of smart phones has caused a devastating blow to the newspaper industry. Because newspapers are cheap, the more we sell, the greater the loss we suffer. Sales volume is only the benchmark for our advertising page pricing, not newspapers. The measure of influence..."

"Through a similar event, the publicity effect we achieved is greater than any other form of publicity event. The topics created by hosting award ceremonies and music festivals are not even one percent of what we have in an event like ours, and they are direct and can arouse Positive publicity of broad interest...”

The man's pale lips were sweating profusely. Facing the questioning and reprimands all over the room, any explanation seemed futile. When he saw Quan Donggen typing this line on the blank page of the computer, all the blood in the man's body Almost all boiled over, volunteered to join Quan Donggeun's camp even though they knew it would be of little use.Simply for the fine print that this line represents almost nothing.

'No Lies Today' is meaningless in itself, but it has meaning thanks to the influence and founding purpose of the Dong-A Ri News, which has always been sharp in writing.Daring to criticize, it is more famous for reflecting the voices of Korean opposition and intellectuals, and those who have good things call them a gathering place for nameless moaning intellectuals.A more apt description would be a concentration camp for angry youth.

It's just that in the face of the current chaotic situation, no one can come up with a charter, and the directors made a lot of noise because of the suddenness of this matter.Quan Donggeun sat on the side silently all the time, while the man was full of enthusiasm but did not have the composure and calmness to solve the problem.Even if he called this operation the most successful self-promotion of the world's newspaper industry, he could not prove it.

In fact, the difference between this man and Quan Donggeun is that he didn't grasp the main contradiction, but as the president, Quan Donggeun has long been proficient in this way.

"The daily circulation of North Korean newspapers is 1000 million, while the circulation of East Asian newspapers is close to 300 million. In recent years, there has been a downward trend. In terms of advertising revenue, North Korean newspapers are already five times that of East Asian newspapers. That number is still growing."

"In terms of political influence, although the East Asian newspaper has a reputation as a political conscience, most of the young people don't know it, the middle-aged people care about it flawlessly, and the elderly will only criticize a few times based on our reports. The circulation of 300 million and Compared with 1000 million, we are not as good as the North Korean Ribao.”

Jeon Dong-geun stood up, walked to the podium, and said into the microphone: "After today, the advertising costs of the Dong-A Ri Newspaper will increase. If we do it properly, our political influence will not be ignored even in the general election in a few years. You guys what else?"

The voice amplified by the microphone answered in the meeting room, and the directors who were dissatisfied immediately looked at each other. Although they seemed not convinced by their expressions, they could only choose to keep silent in the face of this fact.

In this way, the board meeting that lasted the whole morning ended, and when the propaganda department arranged the next plans, Quan Donggen returned to the office with the man who had been in frequent contact with yesterday.Thinking of the excitement of seeing this sentence last night, the man couldn't help asking: "President, isn't this incident entirely an accident and self-promotion?"

Quan Donggeun glanced at the man, still expressionless, he waved his hand to let the man go out, instead of answering the question that could easily subdue his subordinates, he didn't have any self-awareness and self-knowledge of the instigator.

Similarly, not too far away, another instigator did not at all contribute to the biggest media event in South Korea since anti-du cai. He was listening to a petite woman softly playing and singing in the lounge. There was still loud applause.

Kim Taeyeon, who can sing calmly in front of many fans, blushed when facing Lin Weiran. She took off the guitar, and then leaned on Lin Weiran. The small space was immediately rendered with a thick layer of ambiguity. He wanted to stay quietly like this, but he heard Lin Weiran suddenly say: "I'm going to tell you something next, don't think about it and don't worry, because these are all in my plan."

Taeyeon straightened up and asked, "What?"

Lin Weiran had a serious face at first, seeing Kim Taeyeon's nervous appearance, she smiled instead, pinched the girl's face, and said relaxedly: "It's nothing, but I guess I'm going to travel to the Securities Regulatory Commission, and then I'll be a good person and be picked up by the media. A businessman who broke the law and discipline, and then, it depends on how well they cooperate with me." (To be continued.)
