Chapter 504 1 Mouse Shit!
"Qinghe Textile Wholesale Mall, the planned land is 500 mu, the construction area of the first phase project is 37,000 square meters, and a total of 3,500 booths have been set up. At present, the first phase of the wholesale mall has been completed and has passed the acceptance inspection. At the investment stage..."
Director Li of the provincial propaganda department talked to reporters eloquently.
"Director Li, it is reported that the wholesale mall in Qinghe City was built in an uninhabited place. Not only is the surrounding area very empty, but there are no merchants in the wholesale mall, so it is intended that the wholesale mall in Qinghe City is a face project, and foreign media said that This is a ghost castle, I don't know what you think of this matter?" The reporter immediately asked.
Director Li coughed and said, "Although the Qinghe Textile Wholesale Mall is far from the center of Qinghe, it has complete transportation facilities and a large number of merchants have settled in. Of course, this is not a face project, nor is it a foreign media agency. The ghost castle!
Regarding the media reports, our province also specially sent an investigation team to Qinghe City to conduct on-the-spot research. According to our on-the-spot investigation, the Qinghe Wholesale Mall is currently operating very well and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. I also hope that the media and the general public will not believe in rumors! "
The next day, Director Li's response to the wholesale mall appeared in the newspaper, followed by a series of reprints.
After several reprints, the news headlines also changed, and titles such as "Relevant Departments Response: "Ghost Castle" is operating well" and "Local Denies "Ghost Castle" is a face project" also appeared.
Seeing such news headlines, most people's first impression is disbelief.
Taking advantage of the popularity, Zhao Liang wrote a follow-up report, and posted several photos of the empty wholesale mall again to confirm his statement.
...
At Qinghe Railway Station, Kong Zhenlong got off the train. He put his luggage on his back, and then tucked a black cowhide boss bag under his arm.
In the 1990s, business people were very popular with a wallet, which could put keys, big brother, cash, etc. The wallet was clipped under the armpit, which is the way of many bosses.
However, Kong Zhenlong is not a boss. He is a journalist and a reporter for CCTV's Focus Talk.
The black boss bag tucked under his arm is not a big brother and cash, but a small video recorder.
In the 1990s, journalists still used shoulder-mounted video recorders. A video recorder weighed more than ten kilograms and was quite large. When carrying such a thing, they knew that it was a reporter from a distance of several hundred meters.
"Focus Talk" is an in-depth news report column, and often uses hidden interview methods, such as a large shoulder-mounted video recorder, which is naturally impossible to use.
Therefore, the program team deliberately spent a lot of money to buy small cameras from abroad, which can be put in a boss bag and used for hidden interviews.
The purpose of Kong Zhenlong's trip is to report on the textile wholesale mall in Qinghe City.
Although the news of "Ghost Castle" became a hot news at the time, it still could not disturb the top program such as "Focus Talk" to visit in person.
However, the appearance of the follow-up report made the editor-in-chief of "Focus Talk" feel that,
Should investigate.
Newspapers say the wholesale market is a ghost town, and there are pictures of the truth. The local government denied it and said the wholesale market was operating normally.
Who is lying? Is the media doing fake news, or is the local government deliberately covering up the truth for the sake of face?
Either way, it's something worth reporting in depth.
So "Focus Talk" sent ace reporter Kong Zhenlong to Qinghe City to investigate the truth of the matter.
When Kong Zhenlong walked out of the train station, several tricycle masters immediately surrounded him, still using the same lines as "Boss, where are we going" and "Boss, don't take the car".
Kong Zhenlong took a turn and chose a tricycle master who seemed to be more reliable.
Along the way, Kong Zhenlong kept talking with the tricycle master about the mountains, but in fact he was talking in the mouth of the tricycle master.
The tricycle master is also very talkative, and he knows almost everything he knows, but it is a pity that the tricycle master did not provide much useful information.
Driving tricycles on weekdays is in contact with the Three Teachings and Nine Streams, and he talks about interesting things on the streets. Zhang’s parent and Li’s family are short, but he rarely mentions things about the wholesale mall. , is definitely not accurate.
"The people of the old district are so enthusiastic. This tricycle master can talk about mountains better than our brother in Beijing! But the level is still a little worse. Our brother in Beijing is talking about national affairs. The ones who came out were Widow Wang and Widow Zhao!" Kong Zhenlong thought to himself.
I just heard the tricycle master continue: "That widow Zhao, she looks handsome! There are many people in our village who are trying to get her ideas!"
"It seems that there are still many bachelors in your village!" Kong Zhenlong said with a smile.
"It's not just the bachelor who wants to attack Widow Zhao's idea, there are women in the family, there are also many people who want to attack Widow Zhao!" The tricycle master said with a smile.
"I said, brother, are you also playing Widow Zhao's idea?" Kong Zhenlong said with a wicked smile.
"I think so too, but I'm not worthy of others!" The tricycle master said, sighed, and then knocked on one of his legs, and then said: "Do you see this leg? It's broken, it's a prosthesis. How can Widow Zhao look at me as a cripple!"
"Prosthetic limbs?" Kong Zhenlong was shocked, and then asked, "Master, how did you get your driver's license with such a small leg?"
"Driver's license? How can I have that!" The master smiled slightly, and then said, "I want to take the test, but I can't pass the physical examination, and they won't let me take the test."
"I'm still driving without a license!" Kong Zhenlong's heart tightened, and he felt that his life was hanging by a thread.
Fortunately, Kong Zhenlong is a reporter of "Focus Talk", and he has seen the big world. He quickly calmed down and said, "Master, you are brave enough, you have one leg missing, and you dare to drive on the road before driving. !"
"Actually, at the beginning, I didn't dare, but after drinking three or two Guotou, I'm not afraid anymore! Since then, every time I get out of the car, I will come to the three or two Guotou first, and this wine will give me a belly. Ah, it's safe to drive!" the master said.
"What? Do you have to drink to be brave enough to drive?" Even Kong Zhenlong had seen the big world, but his face turned pale at this time.
Kong Zhenlong immediately asked, "Master, before you got out of the car today, didn't you also drink two or two potheads?"
"No." The tricycle master immediately shook his head, and Kong Zhenlong breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, the tricycle master added: "I drank half a catty today!"
...
Finally reaching the destination, Kong Zhenlong got off the tricycle, and then secretly gave himself a mouth.
"I'm really blind, what kind of reliable master did I find!" Kong Zhenlong complained in his heart.
Then Kong Zhenlong looked around. Sure enough, he could see the surrounding farmland, but on both sides of the road, he could also see the bus stop signs.
Kong Zhenlong looked in the direction of the wholesale market again, and he could see people coming and going from a distance, not what the newspapers said was uninhabited.
Kong Zhenlong sandwiched the boss under his arm, pointed the position of the camera lens to the front, then secretly pressed the camera switch, and walked towards the wholesale mall.
As soon as I entered the gate, I saw that although it was not crowded, there were still people walking around, barely counting people coming and going.
"There are obviously people here. Although it is not very lively, it is not to say that this is a ghost castle!" Kong Zhenlong thought to himself.
"Boss, let me go, don't touch you!" A voice sounded from behind Kong Zhenlong.
Kong Zhenlong turned his head and saw a man behind him, carrying two doll models commonly used in clothing stores, came over.
Kong Zhenlong quickly moved out of the way and followed.
The man stopped in front of a bunk on the first floor and put down the model.
Kong Zhenlong looked at the shop, which was still relatively empty, but a row of racks for hanging clothes had been nailed to the wall.
"Boss, you're busy!" Kong Zhenlong greeted him with a smile and handed a cigarette.
The so-called person who stretches out his hand without hitting a smiley face took Kong Zhenlong's cigarette and replied, "What kind of boss am I? I'm a part-time worker. Our boss didn't come today."
Kong Zhenlong looked at the two doll models and asked, "Does this store sell women's clothing?"
"Yes, but it hasn't opened yet." The wage earner paused, then continued; "Our boss has three stalls in the city's greenhouse market, and this is the fourth one!"
"Since there are already three stalls in the city, why do you want to rent another one here?" Kong Zhenlong asked with a smile.
"To make money!" The wage earner continued, "The boss said that this wholesale mall has potential, and the business will be very prosperous in the future, so come early to occupy a good booth."
"But I heard that there was no one in this wholesale mall before." Kong Zhenlong said again.
"I don't know about that. But there are quite a few merchants here now. The first floor is already full, and the second floor is more than half occupied. If it's too late, you have to go to the third floor." The migrant worker replied.
Kong Zhenlong nodded, then set up the camera and walked around the first floor. Sure enough, as the wage earner said, most of the shops on the first floor have been rented out.
Then Kong Zhenlong went up to the second floor again, and many shops were undergoing simple decoration.
Looking at these shops alone, although it cannot be said to be very lively, it is definitely not related to the "ghost castle".
"It seems that when the local government was interviewed, it was true. This wholesale mall is operating very normally. Since so many merchants have settled in, it should not be a face project!"
As a reporter, Kong Zhenlong has always been reporting facts and truths, but what he can't tolerate the most is his colleagues to fabricate news to win readers' attention. From Kong Zhenlong's point of view, this kind of unprofessional thing is simply discrediting the great journalist industry!
Thinking of this, Kong Zhenlong couldn't help but snorted coldly, and cursed inwardly, "A single mouse feces ruined a pot of porridge!"
...
The next day, Kong Zhenlong returned to the capital and went to the director to report.
"Old Kong, you're back very quickly! The interview went well, right? We didn't encounter any obstacles!" The director looked at Kong Zhenlong unscathed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It went well." Kong Zhenlong took out the videotape of the hidden interview and said, "Director, we have to find out who reported this news first. It's really embarrassing for us media people, it's completely nonsense! I personally I went to the wholesale market to check it out, they are operating very well, and many merchants are decorating!"
"Not a ghost castle?" the director asked subconsciously.
"What kind of ghost castle is there, there are a lot of people in it, I took pictures!" Kong Zhenlong said.
"That is the media deliberately fabricating news to gain the attention of readers!" The director frowned.
As a journalist, he also hates this kind of fabrication of fake news.
"Director, since it has been proven that Ghost Castle is fake, will you still do this show?" Kong Zhenlong asked.
"Of course!" the director continued; "I remember that the first foreign media said that this wholesale market is a ghost castle, right? That article also smeared the economic development of our country! These domestic newspapers are not verified, Just use it right away!
We just took this opportunity to do a show, we speak with facts, there is no ghost at all, and at the same time, we are fighting back against those foreign media, telling them that our country's economic boom is a fact that cannot be discredited! "
...
Morning newspapers are often finalized at night, printed at night, transported in the early morning, and delivered to various retail outlets before dawn.
The same is true for the "Nanzhou Metropolis Morning Post", so for the staff of the newspaper office, their working hours are often from the afternoon to the evening, until the newspaper is sent for printing, and the editorial meeting of the newspaper office will end the day's work.
During this special working time, dinner must be solved in the cafeteria of the newspaper office.
After seven o'clock in the evening, the staff of the newspaper came to the cafeteria one by one, ready to finish the meal.
On the TV in the cafeteria, "News Network" also began to be broadcast.
Holding the lunch box, Zhao Liang walked into the cafeteria with his head held high.
The "Ghost Castle" news he made was reprinted by many media, and Zhao Liang was a hit in the newspaper office and received a lot of applause.
At this time, Zhao Liang was a popular fried chicken in the "Nanzhou Metropolis Morning Post", and he was the focus of the newspaper.
Zhao Liang finished his meal, walked to the table, ate slowly, and glanced at the TV screen in the cafeteria from time to time.
After the "News Network" is over, the weather forecast is followed by "Focus Talk".
"Hello, viewers, welcome to today's "Focus Talk"." The host of the show, Mr. Shui, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his words are eloquent.
"The name Ghost Castle is believed to make many people shudder after hearing it. However, in Qinghe City, such a ghost castle has appeared..." Teacher Shui spoke eloquently to the camera.
I saw that everyone in the cafeteria turned their attention to Zhao Liang.
"Xiao Zhao, your report is on "Focus Talk"!" Someone said.
The next second, there was applause in the cafeteria, and everyone was cheering for Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang was so excited that he couldn't even speak!
"My God, I'm actually on "Focus Talk", I, Zhao Liang, are about to develop!"
