Cosma Empire

Hunter is the head reporter of the New Empire Newspaper. He is thirty-three years old this year, which is a good time for him to be young and strong. His ancestors were also nobles. When it came to his grandfather's generation, he stood in the wrong direction because of the problem of standing in line. He became a victim in the court infighting, was deprived of the title of nobleman, and became an ordinary person.

But no matter how ordinary it is, it is definitely not comparable to the real ordinary people. The accumulated wealth of more than two hundred years has allowed ordinary people in this family to live fairly well. After the new party came to power, they finally ushered in the spring of turning around. The wealth and connections accumulated in the past finally paid off, and his father became a wealthy capitalist, running two factories.

And he, contrary to his father's wishes, did not learn how to manage the company and how to grow the company. He secretly used the tuition fee to worship a well-known reporter from the feature agency as a teacher to learn how to become an excellent reporter. . His dream is to use the pen in his hand to expose the truth of the world and let people see the real world through the medium of newspapers.

Thanks to his father's connections and wealth, he did pretty well in the reporter industry, especially after the George family was over, lost the capital of the monopoly industry, and the newspaper industry also ushered in a major reshuffle. The cruelty of this reshuffle made many people recall the comfort of the George family when they were facing bankruptcy. Many newspapers have never experienced such a war. They have long been used to buying news with money and publishing it to earn subscription income.

They don’t need to know any brains, just buy news → typesetting and printing → release, there is no problem of competitiveness. This kind of comfortable life makes many newspaper offices passively respond to the huge changes in the newspaper industry, because They don't know how to enhance the competitiveness of their newspapers, how to protect themselves while defeating their opponents, and how to reach a higher position in this field.

But there are also some newspapers that stand out from these people, and the Imperial Capital Xinrui Daily is one of them. This newspaper was established by a group of young people with dreams and pursuits, with an average age of less than 30 years old. Hunter invested 50,000 yuan and owns 35% of the shares. It stands to reason that he only needs to sit in the office and review the daily press releases, but he prefers to be on the front line than this kind of boring work.

Perhaps it is his attitude of leading by example and rushing to the front line that makes the atmosphere of the Imperial Capital Xinrui Bao very good and very energetic.

This time someone wrote him an anonymous letter, which introduced some inside information about the Nami Lindes attack some time ago. According to the official statement, a group of gangsters who fled to Namirindes in order to avenge the chief of the police station triggered a large-scale attack. In this attack, more than ten people, including the police station, were killed. Mayor Todd was implicated and transferred to other places.

But the letter said that the time of the attack originated from the struggle between the two forces, and it even faintly revealed the conflict between Namirindes and Otis, which made people think about it.

Relying on his sensitivity to news, he immediately realized that if what this anonymous letter said was true, once the content inside was excavated and sorted out, it would be enough to shock the whole world. What makes him even more excited is that he is very likely to be able to get a big prize-the George Journalism Award.

If such a news award was established three months ago, many people would not have taken it seriously, but after three months, people have begun to cherish the days when they could make money without competing with the world, and Mr. John The awesome life of the legend, this award suddenly surpassed the original news gold award and became the most recognized industry award by the newspaper industry and news industry. In addition to generous bonuses, more importantly, it can bring great fame. I heard that as long as you can win the best news award three times in a row or eight times in a row, you will be able to get a lifetime certificate of honor signed by Mr. John before his death!

To be recognized by a tycoon who once monopolized the newspaper industry is such an honor that it is extremely exciting to think about it.

So driven by various factors, Hunter came to Nami Lindes City. His first reaction after arriving here was to look back at the sign of the station where he left.

He had been here before, about four years ago, following his teacher, a distinguished reporter from the Special Articles Agency, to interview then-mayor Todd about Nami Lindes becoming an important figure in the middle of the empire The transportation hub and the resulting economic boost effect help the surrounding cities. It was a very formal interview. When he came to Nanami Lindes, the whole city was bustling like a huge furnace, and busy people could be seen everywhere.

But now...there are still many people on the street, but they have become infinitely closer to an ordinary city. There is no tension on the faces of these people, only sadness.

At that time, Hunter was received by a staff member of the city hall. He called this guy and asked him to talk about this matter in the restaurant where he had a meal last time.

At a little after six o'clock, the city hall clerk appeared in the restaurant. He was wearing a hat with the brim pressed down. If he hadn't walked to Hunter's table and sat down, perhaps Hunter would not have recognized him. .

"Is the city hall getting off work so late now?" Hunter took the initiative to pour a cup of scented tea for the other party, "I ordered a double grilled steak for you, as well as appetizer soup and fruit cubes. What do you want? I'll serve it later Order it when you are born."

The man nodded and took off his hat, revealing a middle-aged face in his forties. He has light blonde hair, which doesn't look very good, looks a little haggard, and has deep bags under his eyes.

He tore off the tie around his collar, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Is there any interview task this time? Or come over to play?" He forced a smile very reluctantly, which moved Hunter's heart.

He looked at the few diners around, and said in a low voice, "I was told that the Namirindes attack is not as simple as the official statement."

The guy opposite him froze for a moment, and immediately stood up, "Mr. Hunter, this joke is not funny. If you came here for this matter, then you may be disappointed, and I don't know what, I want gone……"

Hunter grabbed his arm, "I'm very sincere, this news is very important to me, what do you want?" From this guy's reaction, Hunter knew that what the anonymous letter said was true Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be so sensitive, which made him even more excited. It broke out that the mayors of the two cities fought and assassinated each other like gangs, which was enough to shake the whole world.

He can fully imagine that the new party will lose all face, more scandals will break out in more places, and a tsunami of public opinion will gradually form. In addition to his achievement glory, he can also let his father get those old Appreciation and recognition of party members. Maybe their family has a chance to re-enter the political arena and reproduce the glory of their ancestors!

Yes, Hunter, his father and even the whole family are all supporters of the old party camp.

The man twitched his arm and didn't pull it out. He looked at Hunter, "I really don't know about this. You should ask someone else."

"Twenty thousand!"

"No, after you've heard it, it's not about money, it's..."

"Thirty thousand!"

"open……"

"fifty thousand!"

When Hunter quoted a price of 50,000 yuan, the man obviously hesitated. According to the "Memorandum of Understanding on Monetary Normality" signed by the Empire and the Federation last month, there is an issue of the currency exchange rate between the two countries. The Empire Cabinet and the Federation Parliament have already A high degree of agreement was reached. No matter how the financial order in the Western world changes, the exchange rate of Imperial Star Dollars to Federal Shields will be nailed at the exchange rate of one to four.

Fifty thousand is enough to exchange for 200,000 federal guilders, which will allow him to live a good life in the federation, and have some spare money to invest in some industries, or start a business by himself.

While he was hesitating, Hunter quoted a price of 100,000, which completely broke his psychological defense.

To be honest, since the attack, the atmosphere in Namirindes City Hall has been very delicate. No one likes to have a flying dragon lying next to them, or the kind of flying dragon that can eat people. This time it was Todd and his hardcore supporters, so who will be next time?

Bralen personally went to Odis to meet Durin, and the news he brought back was not very good. Maybe he thought it was good, but the staff in the city hall were much "smarter" than Bralen, and an industrial city would never be as good. The former Nami Lindes mode is even worse than the current Odis.

In addition, those who know the inside story have been asked to keep their mouths shut, and their promotion path in the future is obviously cut off. It can be said that there is no hope for the future.

If you can jump out with a sum of money at this time, it may be a good choice.

100,000 star dollars, 400,000 federal shields, no matter how powerful Du Lin is, can he still interfere with the federation?

This is a sum of money that he will never earn in his life!

He felt Hunter's grip on his arm relax, but he had no intention of leaving. He straightened his clothes and sat back down again.

"What do you want to know?"

Hunter laughed. He and his mentor learned a lot and benefited a lot. But he found that even if he mastered all these things, they would never be as useful as his talents.

wealth!

When someone needs to run away for a piece of news, he only needs to take out a handful of banknotes, and someone will rush to sell him the news. This trick has always worked against him in his journalistic career, perhaps this is the benefit of being rich.
