Chapter 1568 Restoring the influence
Of course, the seriousness of the matter is far from the point of confrontation between the government and the people. Although newspapers like "Sanya Express" are private media, they must also accept the jurisdiction of the Haihan Propaganda Department, otherwise they will not even publish newspapers. Qualifications are not obtained.In the current situation, it is not difficult for the Propaganda Department to put a little pressure on the express newspaper to change the direction of the report.Newspapers can turn white into black, and naturally they can turn black into white. To restore the impact of this incident, most of them have to fall on the newspaper as a propaganda channel.

"Since there is no foreign force behind it, then the matter will be easy to handle. Find out who the boss of the express is, and invite him to the Fort Victory for tea and communication, and the matter will be resolved." Schneider is a very pragmatic person, immediately An easy-to-operate solution is presented.

"There's no need to check... During the period when the security department went to check, I went to read the information on the express, and the backstage boss of the newspaper is Li Nai." Ning Qi said helplessly.

"Li Nai? This is really flooding the Dragon King Temple... It seems that I haven't heard him mention investing in newspapers before!" Tao Donglai couldn't help being surprised when he heard this answer.

Speaking of which, Li Nai is one of the very few bright people who will be treated as one of their own by the executive committee of Haihan.As early as the early days when the cross-travelers came to Sanya, Li Nai maintained very close contact with them because of business, and even came from Guangzhou to Sanya for a long-term stay.Li Nai himself is a person with a strong ability to accept new things, and the various novelties of Haihan Kingdom make him linger on, and later he becomes a brother and brother with senior officials of Haihan, and the relationship is very close.

As the third son of Furuifeng Commercial Company, Li Nai has invested in many industries in Haihan, including plantations, restaurants, and various handicraft workshops, as well as special industries such as Golden Shield Escort.With the continuous increase of Haihan's overseas colonies, Li Nai has been following the footsteps of Haihan's expansion to invest in emerging areas. So far, the investment projects in the Haihan area add up to a total of large and small, and it is estimated that there are nearly a hundred. There are so many items, it is enough to be among the best among the rich businessmen who cooperate with Haihan.

It is precisely because Li Nai has invested in too many business projects in Haihan, even the high-ranking officials of the Executive Committee may not be aware of all of them. No one thought that the protagonist of this news incident was actually one of the objects of investment by Li Nai .

Ning Qi explained: "The founder of this newspaper is not Li Nai, he also bought it halfway. As for why he bought this newspaper, I probably only have to ask him the next time we meet."

Li Nai was not in Sanya at this time, so of course he couldn't invite him to Shengli Fort to clarify the issue face to face.But since this newspaper was owned by Li Nai, Tao Donglai and others naturally believed that their position would not be against Hai Han.Although the news came a bit late, it's better late than never. Knowing that the newspaper is Li Nai's property, the officials should be careful when handling this matter.

"Since it's Li Nai's business, let the newspaper clarify it quickly, and the rhythm must be guided in the direction we set." Tao Donglai immediately decided on the follow-up method of this matter.

"Sanya Express" has a biased rhythm, and they have to bring it back.As for the next issue of the newspaper, which will be published in three days, this is not an unsolvable problem, just ask the newspaper to publish a special issue temporarily.Of course, a special issue of this nature probably won't have any advertising content, and [-]% of newspapers will lose money in it.But this can't be blamed on other people, who made the express to cause such a big trouble?

Xu Zhengye, who had been worried all the time and didn't even go back home, finally waited for the latest official instructions before midnight. The Propaganda Department asked the newspaper to issue another special issue as soon as possible to clarify and correct some of the opinions in the article published the day before.The issue of the newspaper that has already been issued is currently being recycled as much as possible in order to restore the wrong influence caused by the people.Of course, all these expenses must be borne by the newspaper office.

At this time, Xu Zhengye didn't even dare to say a word. He was interrogated by Xu Shiqi over and over again for several hours. He almost finished talking about the eight generations of his ancestors. He was afraid that the other party would put him in prison after the question .But in the end it was the Propaganda Department, not the Security Department, who gave him the order. Finally, a big stone fell to the ground. Although this decision will cost the newspaper a sum of money, at least he and the newspaper are safe and sound.

Of course, Xu Zhengye didn't forget his subordinate Xun Pengcheng. After asking Xu Shiqi, he found out that Xun Pengcheng didn't suffer much. The Ministry of Security just wanted to confirm whether his actions were ordered by others.

Xu Zhengye thought to himself, who else can be instigated, of course it is only me, but the next thing that Xun Pengcheng will do next is not instigated by himself. The Propaganda Department asked to write a new report to clarify the truth. It also had to be done by Xun Pengcheng so that he could make up for his mistakes.

Sanya currently has seven or eight kinds of newspapers and periodicals on the market. It is not new to issue additional special issues on special days or when emergencies occur.However, it was only the next day that I heard that there was hot news on the "Sanya Express" the day before yesterday. Citizens who wanted to buy a copy to read it suddenly found that this newspaper was out of stock in the market, and the "Sanya Express" was replaced by "Sanya Express" today. A special issue published early in the morning.The content of the special issue is still the topic on the front page of yesterday's issue, but the point of view of the discussion has changed significantly.

"The reporter of this newspaper interviewed a number of insiders overnight, and found that yesterday's report did not provide details. Today, I hereby publish an article to inform the general public of the inside story..."

Compared with the slightly exaggerated and sarcastic style of writing in the newspaper the day before yesterday, the content in this special issue is much more rigorous, and it doesn't even look like the style that a newspaper that mainly focuses on gossip news should have.Moreover, almost all the teahouses, restaurants and restaurants where storytellers are stationed have received this new special issue and asked them to promote it as soon as possible.

Of course, people with a discerning eye can understand it at once. This is obviously an accident with the front-page article published in the newspaper yesterday, so this method is used to save the impact that has already been caused.As for whether the newspaper was pressured by the government or out of other considerations to make such a move, the viewers have no time to care, because as long as they read it, they will find that the content of this special issue is actually It's more powerful than yesterday's.

Yesterday's newspaper was mainly to guide readers to discuss whether Haihan should sell arms to people like Mata Ram, but today's newspaper has changed its direction, and it is already leading the discussion on how to sell arms to people like Mata Ram. Foreign arms sales are in Hai Han's best interest.The article takes the Netherlands and Mataram as examples, and briefly explains Haihan's considerations for not selling arms to them before.

In terms of broad horizons, the quality of the citizens of Sanya must be unrivaled in the Far East of this era. This city has gathered businessmen, navigators, and adventurers from all over the world, and even most of the citizens are They are not native-born locals. They have been to different countries and experienced all kinds of customs. In addition, as the political and economic center of Haihan, Sanya has advantages in information collection and dissemination speed. The situation was well understood enough for them to understand what the contents of this special issue meant.

The grievances between the Netherlands and Matalam are not complicated to explain. In the past few years, the two countries have fought several times in order to fight for control of the area near Java Island. Matalam has a slight advantage in the situation. But the actual results are both winners and losers.When it was difficult to tell the winner, the two countries all thought of upgrading their equipment, and the only country that could provide them with more advanced military equipment was of course Haihan.

Due to well-known reasons, Haihan did not agree to sell weapons to the Dutch at the beginning, but the Dutch took the next best thing and exchanged other non-public political conditions for Haihan's agreement not to sell weapons and equipment to Matalam. That's why there was a scene where the Matalan envoy couldn't ask for it, and finally transported the gold bricks to the gate of Victory Fort to show his sincerity.

Of course, the special issue did not specify the non-disclosed conditions that the Dutch used to exchange Haihan for this agreement, but it is obvious that Matalam is at a clear disadvantage in this regard, and they cannot come up with more attractive, Haihan has more favorable conditions to negotiate, so he can only use the simplest and rude way, trying to use money to change Haihan's attitude.And this scene happened to be witnessed by the editor of the "Sanya Express", and then there was the article from the previous day.

Fortunately, after communicating with people familiar with the matter, relevant people in the newspaper office discovered the fallacy in their work in time, so another special issue was published overnight to correct and explain the previous day's report.At the same time, I also hope that the citizens understand that the prudent attitude of the Executive Committee in handling this matter is not because of problems in the connection of internal work, but is based on the principle of being responsible to the country and cherishing peace. Do a full assessment.

This kind of rhetoric is obviously from the official instructions, but no one will think that there is something wrong with Express News' bowing their heads because of this. In the minds of the vast majority of citizens, the executive committee is the supreme existence, and the newspaper's previous doubts are themselves. It's disrespectful, and the government is willing to explain the situation to the people in this way, which is already a very kind and generous move.Of course, what the public doesn't know is that all of this is just because the backstage of Express News is strong enough. If the boss behind the newspaper is someone else, it is really possible that the Propaganda Department will order it to close down before dawn.

Su Keyi saw this special publication delivered by his subordinates while having breakfast, and he read the contents word by word without opening his mouth for a long time.To be honest, he didn't understand what the official attitude of Haihan's official move was to express. Is it going to make an opening for the arms sales ban, and first use this method to warm up the wind, or is it to prepare for the next refusal to sell arms? Make a statement.

Su Keyi wanted to win the initiative for the East India Company in this competition, just like when he signed the embargo agreement, as long as he could restrain the performance of Matalam, then his goal would be considered achieved.But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, he must first understand what Haihan's official intentions are, and he must prescribe the right medicine to get something.

But Su Keyi has dealt with Haihan's high-level officials for so long, so he naturally knows how difficult this matter is. These high-ranking Haihan officials are all old foxes who are good at calculating, so it's not easy for him to feel the pulse.Even the clarification in the newspaper was so ambiguous that it was difficult for him, the person involved, to discern the real intention.

In the guest house not far from Fort Victory, Mataram envoy Luo Hong also saw this freshly published newspaper almost at the same time.Luo Hong was proficient in Chinese characters in the first place, so he didn't need someone else to translate it, so he started to read it by himself.After reading it once, Luo Hong shook his head and opened it again from the beginning.The few subordinates next to him couldn't understand the contents of the newspaper, and they were scratching their heads in anxiety.

In fact, Luo Hong can recognize all the words in this newspaper, and he can read them together, but he is the same as Su Keyi. After reading it, he still can't feel what kind of attitude Haihan officials are trying to express through this special issue. .Compared with yesterday's report, today's article basically has no obvious tendency, and it is all about objective facts.Luo Hong wanted to find some hints beneficial to his country, but he didn't succeed.

"Haihan people... what does this mean!" After reading it three times, Luo Hong finally couldn't bear the resentment in his heart, and slammed the newspaper on the table.

"General, did the Haihan people reject our request?" Seeing that Luo Hong was angry, one of his subordinates hurriedly asked.

This question eased Luo Hong's mood a little bit, yes, haven't the Haihan people expressed their stance on refusing to sell arms?As long as you haven't made a statement yet, it means there is still room for negotiation, and it won't help if you get angry here.But the trick of transporting gold bricks once used is not effective. It is impossible to transport two carts of gold bricks to the gate of Victory Fort every day for display. Not only will it not be able to make Haihan submit, it may even be counterproductive.

Luo Hong paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to find a breakthrough.Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he went back to the table and picked up the newspaper again: "This is what Haihan people care about!"

Luo Hong didn't have a clear understanding of newspaper media in the past, and even now it's not much better.But this incident made him realize that Haihan's senior management attaches great importance to the news published in the newspaper, especially the content that disagrees with him. The official will even put pressure on the newspaper to clarify it in this special way.If you can grasp this key point, you may be able to find the right path.
