Chapter 844: A pen, a cup of coffee ... (2/2)
Interviewer Carina, in order to reduce operating costs, the British Empire Times likes to recruit new recruits.
Of course, since it is a newcomer, there are naturally various problems. Because of the relationship between treatment, in general, it will leave after a few months.
But this is not a problem. Whether a street tabloid like the British Empire Times can survive for a few months is a problem.
The boss and editor-in-chief of Endry frowned, considering that it was not when he lost his temper, and he patiently explained: ”If you don't know, just edit it yourself!”
Do n’t forget, your job is called editing, and the core of your work is all in the word “edit”.
If everything is clear, what do you want?
Using exaggerated techniques, focusing on portraying the bravery of our murdered heroes, I would rather die than betray the interests of Britain, highlight the fierceness and evilness of the enemy ... ”
the truth?
What is that, can it be eaten?
For a non-influential newspaper like the British Empire Times that does not have any reputation, it is the first place to find ways to attract people's attention and increase sales.
Word of mouth, credibility, these luxury goods in the press are not what they can expect.
”Boom boom ...”
A knock on the door sounded, interrupting everyone's work, Endry frowned, and as a newcomer Carina got up and opened the door.
”Sir, you are so late, who are you looking for?”
The man in grey said slowly, ”Where is Mr. Endry, I want to talk to him about a business.”
Hearing that the business came to the door, Endry was disturbed and suddenly disappeared.
You have to know that street tabloids such as the British Empire Times do not have much advertising revenue, and they all rely on the profit of selling newspapers.
The biggest extra income is this kind of secret business. For Endry, as long as someone gives money, there is no news that they dare not publish.
This can be seen from his repeated changing of vests. Today is the British Empire Times. Tomorrow is the Empire Times, and the day after tomorrow ...
Be the first to answer: ”At!”
Before the voice fell, Endry greeted him with a full smile: ”Old friend hasn't seen you for a long time, please come inside.”
”Carina, help me make two of the best coffee.”
...
The two had only collaborated, and there was no friendship, and even Endry did not know the name of the gray man.
However, this does not affect the cooperation between the two. Endry has always regarded himself as a journalist's bottom line. He has always only asked for money, but asked about the identity of the employer.
This is also the reason why he has worked for many years and published many secret news, but he has not been silenced.
The man in grey brought out an article with this cheque and handed it over, said slowly: ”In the shortest time, publish the above content, this fifty pounds is yours.”
Endry did not rush to answer, but read it carefully. There are rules in any industry, and street tabloids are no exception. Different news items have different prices.
In general, the more sensitive the content, the higher the price, and of course the greater the risk.
Conversely, ordinary content is similar to advertisements. The British Empire Times, a street tabloid that sells only a few thousand copies, is not worth the ads.
After a moment of effort, Endry frowned and replied: ”The content is not sensitive enough to be published, but is this title too much?
In the ”Prelude of the Russian Invasion of India”, Your Excellency is only an assassination case, without any substantial evidence, it is so far away, it is too much.
Publishing it like this will affect the reputation of our newspapers, and it must be revised, such as: ”Beware of Russian Invasion of India” or ”Russian Conspiracy.”
The result is the same anyway, and the suspicion of assassination of Walters will point to the Russians. ”
Endrie's request, the gray man ignored it, only a cold sentence: ”£ 55!”
Endry was very uncomfortable with his indifferent attitude towards the man in gray, but he couldn't be more arrogant in the face of the gold master.
The purchasing power of the pound is strong enough this year, and one pound can buy 100 pounds of black bread in London. (About 45 kg)
£ 55, which is equivalent to two months of profit for Endry ’s newspapers, is enough to lower his bottom line.
After hesitating for a while, Endry made a tentative offer: ”I must be responsible to the newspaper for £ 60.”
The gray man smiled slightly, and readily took out £ 10 and handed it over. After waiting for Endry to continue speaking, he turned and left.
