"Look for someone who drinks rags."

"What are you looking for a ragged drink?"

"ah!"

"You have to be sold in a commissioned store."

"Oh! You have to go to the commissioned store to sell."

“…”

In the crosstalk garden, two famous Tianjin actors were talking about "Selling Five Us" and were clamoring and laughing from time to time.

Hu Zhengzhi and Zhang Jiluan sat in the corner, peeling peanuts and drinking tea while listening to crosstalk and chatting.

"Zhengzhi, why did you say Mr. Zhou ask us out for nothing?" Zhang Jiluan said holding the tea bowl.

"Who knows?" Hu Zhengzhi held his glasses, "He wrote his article "The Rise of a Great Power" very well, and I have wanted to get to know him for a long time."

Zhang Jiluan said: "I heard that Zhou Hexuan is the Jin Yong who wrote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and is now working in Chu Yupu's mansion."

"Is Zhou Hexuan Jin Yong?" Hu Zhengzhi was very surprised. "The literary style doesn't look like it at all. You must have made a mistake!"

Zhang Jiluan shook her head and smiled, "How can I know? Anyway, I've heard people say it."

Both were well-known journalists in the Republic of China. Zhang Jiluan served as Sun Yat-sen's secretary and was responsible for drafting the "Declaration on the Inauguration of the Provisional President". He was arrested for opposing Yuan Shikai, and after he was released from prison, he stopped engaging in politics and has been working as an editor and reporter in major newspapers. Two years ago, Zhang Jiluan served as a meeting on the Longhai Railway, but he lost his job because of the war and is now living in Tianjin.

Hu Zhengzhi is also famous. When he was a teenager, his sister-in-law sold a pair of gold bracelets and helped him go to Japan to work and study. He graduated from the Law Department of Imperial University of Tokyo and was well-versed in four foreign languages. He once hosted the Ta Kung Pao and was the only Chinese journalist to attend the Paris Peace Conference. The Guowen Weekly, founded, was not enough to make ends meet and was about to go bankrupt. He could only rely on his friend Wu Dingchang to contribute monthly subsidies.

These two are professionals Zhou Hexuan plans to invite together to run newspapers.

The crosstalk actors on the stage were almost finished speaking "Selling Five Tools", and Zhou Hexuan finally came late and laughed in a low voice: "You two have been waiting for a long time."

"You are Zhou Hexuan?"

Zhang Jiluan and Hu Zhengzhi were greatly surprised. They thought that even if they were not an old man, they were at least middle-aged people who had suffered from the weather.

"It's Zhou." Zhou Hexuan sat down with a smile.

Hu Zhengzhi said: "Mr. Zhou is a talented person, your "Rise of a Great Power" has now caused a sensation between China and abroad."

"Some small articles are not worth mentioning." Zhou Hexuan said modestly.

Zhang Jiluan asked curiously: "Mr. Zhou, I heard that you wrote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "It is a clumsy work that is hard to catch the eyes of experts."

Zhang Jiluan and Hu Zhengzhi looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It turned out that Zhou Hexuan and Jin Yong were really the same person. If the news spread, many people would probably be surprised.

After the three of them politely greeted each other, Hu Zhengzhi asked: "Mr. Zhou asked us out today, but I don't know what's going on?"

Zhou Hexuan went straight to the topic and said: "I want to take down the "Ta Kung Pao" that has been discontinued and ask two professionals to serve as newspaper managers and editors-in-chief."

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and Zhang Jiluan asked in a deep voice: "Is this newspaper for Chu Yupu? I won't speak for the warlords."

"Don't worry, two, I will no longer be a secretary for Chu Yupu," Zhou Hexuan took out a plan and spread it out, "Please see, two gentlemen."

Hu Zhengzhi and Zhang Jiluan came to the front and saw a line of big characters written in front - the "Ta Kung Pao"'s newspaper publishing policy: not party, not private, not sell, not blind.

Just eight words have already caught the attention of Hu Zhengzhi and Zhang Jiluan. This newspaper management policy is concise, but it reveals the highest level pursued by the newspaper people in the Republic of China. If it can be implemented according to the rules, the Ta Kung Pao will definitely sell it all over the world and become the leader in the newspaper industry.

Hu Zhengzhi calmed down his inner excitement and asked in detail: "Mr. Zhou, this is not a party, not a private person, not a seller, not a blind person, not a blind person?"

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "No party means not forming party, not relying on any party, strictly adhering to political neutrality. Not being selfish means not being private. Newspapers are public instruments in society and cannot collect money to help anyone speak. If they do not sell, they cannot sell the country. Foreigners do well and we can praise them. Foreigners infringe on China's interests, so that the Chinese people must report truthfully and let the Chinese people know the ugly faces of foreigners. Not blind means not blindly following. Any news must be true and cannot be vassalized in public opinion. We must adhere to objective and fairness and convince people with reason."

"What a bad person, who is not a party, who is not a private person, who is not a seller, or who is not a blind man! If you really write a newspaper according to these eight words, the high level of the newspaper will be unique in the world." Zhang Jiluan slapped the table and exclaimed.

The noise was a bit loud, which shocked all the guests around him, which made the two crosstalk actors on the stage a little depressed.

Hu Zhengzhi was a little worried. He sighed and said, "It's easier said than done. If this newspaper can be done, I'm afraid no warlord can tolerate it."

"Don't worry about these two people," Zhou Hexuan said with a head down, "To be honest, the major shareholder behind the newspaper is Zhang Xueliang, the son of Zhang Zuolin, and he will try his best to maintain it thoroughly."

As soon as Zhang Xueliang's name came out, the two patriotic journalists were instantly discouraged. Zhang Jiluan smiled bitterly and said, "If it was really invested by that young man, the eight-character policy was like a joke, how could it be that he would not be favored?"

"Otherwise," Zhou Hexuan shook his head, "I can guarantee that the Ta Kung Pao will be held here. In the future, I can definitely say bad things about the Young Marshal, just ask not to scold them so fiercely. Of course, if the Young Marshal did something good that would benefit the country and the people, the Ta Kung Pao also needs to help promote it."

"Really?" Hu Zhengzhi expressed doubts about this.

Zhou Hexuan said: "We can sign an agreement. As long as you feel that it is against the policy of handling newspapers, you can resign at any time in the future."

Hu Zhengzhi and Zhang Jiluan looked at each other, and they were both a little moved, but hesitant.

Finally, Zhang Jiluan still couldn't withstand the temptation of the word "no party, no selfishness, no selling, no blindness", and gritted her teeth and said, "I did it!"

Hu Zhengzhi was silent for a while and said, "Precaution me."

Zhou Hexuan immediately said: "In the initial publication fee of 50,000 silver dollars, the Young Marshal paid 40,000 yuan, and owned 60% of the shares. But he could only distribute dividends and did not participate in the management and operation of the newspaper. I paid 10,000 silver dollars, owned 20% of the shares, and served as the president of the newspaper. The two invested in labor, and each owned 10% of the shares. Mr. Hu served as the manager and deputy editor-in-chief, and Mr. Zhang served as the editor-in-chief and deputy manager. The three of us formed a editorial committee to study current affairs, discuss opinions, and decided to make a statement, and took turns to write. The final manuscript was corrected by Mr. Zhang. If everyone had different opinions, the majority would be decided. When the three people had different opinions, Mr. Zhang would prevail. How?"

This arrangement means that Hu Zhengzhi is responsible for business affairs, Zhang Jiluan is responsible for the content of the manuscript, and Zhou Hexuan is the nominal president.

Hu Zhengzhi and Zhang Jiluan were very relieved when they heard this because they also had the decision-making power to report, and the final decision-making power was handed over to Zhang Jiluan, not afraid that the newspaper would be controlled by Zhang Xueliang.

Why is the young marshal willing to agree?

Of course, I was convinced by Zhou Hexuan. If the newspaper wants to gain influence, it must adhere to the principle of objectivity and fairness. Even if Zhang Xueliang does something wrong in the future, his own newspaper will not be so cruel. Once Zhang Xueliang does a good thing, he will naturally have to vigorously publicize and praise it.

For example, Zhang Xueliang will soon be planning to establish the China Hope Education Foundation, which is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. The Ta Kung Pao will not blush when flattering. At that time, people across the country will know that Zhang Shaoshuai is keen on education.

As for whether the Ta Kung Pao can be done well, Zhou Hexuan is not worried at all. Once the Bazi newspaper is issued, it will definitely win the praise of the society, not to mention that he has a big killer weapon.

Wenxiu and Puyi have a divorce, and they must be left to the Ta Kung Pao as exclusive news!
