Half an hour later, Li Wei arrived at the Qingfeng Newspaper Office. His team members had already dispersed among the crowd. Because the specific situation was not yet known, Li Wei did not act rashly for the time being.
With the continuous influx of new ideas and the continuous awakening and reflection of Chinese people, they will pay great attention to national affairs and various social events.
In addition, Nanjing is an economic center and its economy is developing very well. As a political center, Nanjing can be regarded as the center of most political activities. As the old saying goes, even if you throw a brick at the foot of the Imperial City, it will be hit.
One or two officials.
Therefore, the newspaper industry has developed very rapidly. In the entire city of Nanjing, there are almost hundreds of newspapers or offices, large and small, and all kinds of news are flooding the crowd every day. So from the surface, the newspaper industry
It can be considered very prosperous.
With the prosperity of newspapers, many positions and jobs have been created. Moreover, in this period of time, most people are illiterate, so readers are still highly respected.
People who can work in a newspaper office more or less know a few words. If they are editors or reporters, they must be highly educated.
Therefore, people who work in newspapers are more or less respected by everyone. In everyone's opinion, people who can do this job are definitely in a legitimate industry. If ordinary people hear that you work in a newspaper or newspaper office, then
My attitude towards you will definitely be much better.
Moreover, people like reporters do not need to work every day. They have to run around, inquire about gossip, and collect various materials needed by the newspaper. Their time can be said to be very flexible and free.
Therefore, many times, some spies or people with special jobs are willing to use this identity to cover themselves. On the one hand, it is not easy for others to suspect, and on the other hand, if there is any emergency, they can take action at any time.
Will attract attention.
Levi looked at the team members in the crowd, without hesitation, took out a manuscript from his bag and walked into the Qingfeng Newspaper Office.
Since it was unclear whether Ye Xiu was at the newspaper office today, Li Wei pretended to be a contributor and went to check on the Qingfeng Newspaper office first.
According to previous inquiries, the scale of Qingfeng Newspaper is not very large. The owner of the newspaper is named Zhang Qiubei. His family is considered a business family, so his life has always been relatively prosperous.
Zhang Qiubei can also be regarded as a person with relatively progressive ideas. In the early years of the Republic of China, major newspapers and periodicals promoted "industry to save the country" and proposed ways to revitalize the country's industry.
Moreover, it coincides with the troubled times, when the country is humiliated externally and the people are living in dire straits internally. Some ambitious people and capitalists have fundamentally changed. They are not just merciless and do not do business, but do business only for the pursuit of profit.
Some transcended the ideal of making money and shined a different light on them. Therefore, a large number of entrepreneurs emerged who saved the country through industry, and in the end these people also made huge contributions to the construction of the country.
But the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. Although some people have progressive ideas, in that era, the remaining feudal forces were also very stubborn.
In the eyes of these stubborn forces, these people who are working to save the country through industry are enemies. Since they are enemies, if you want to save the country through industry, we will definitely stop it.
In addition, foreign countries have strong capital and technological advantages. Therefore, although there are a large number of emerging national capitalists and entrepreneurs working to save the country, they are facing unprecedented pressure.
In the end, except for a few people who succeeded, most people ended up in failure, and the same was true for Zhangqiu Bei.
After the failure, he gave up the idea of saving the country through industry and opened this newspaper. However, because he failed to save the country through industry, he lost a lot of money and had no background, so he did not hire celebrities to write columns.
Mainly based on rumors and gossip.
Qingfeng Newspaper's newspaper news is partly collected by newspaper reporters, and partly by people submitting articles. If the story is really interesting, it will be published, and of course some profit will be given to the contributor.
However, in this era, for this kind of tabloid, due to the limited audience, it can only make ends meet.
Li Wei walked into the Qingfeng Newspaper office and looked at the internal layout of the Qingfeng Newspaper office. It may be because of the tabloid newspaper, so there are only four rooms and a relatively empty office area.
Two of the rooms were the offices of the editor-in-chief and the general manager respectively, and one seemed to be the reception room. Li Wei took a look and saw that there were two rows of chairs at the door of the reception room. There were many people sitting on the chairs now, probably with him.
Same thing, people who come to submit articles.
Another possibility is that it was debris or something else. Because the door was closed, Li Wei didn't see it. As for the general employees, they worked together in the office area.
When Li Wei walked into Qingfeng Newspaper Office, there was no one to greet him, so Li Wei followed the instructions and walked towards the door of the reception room.
Not to mention, although Qingfeng Newspaper is a small newspaper, there are still many down-and-out literati who like to submit their own stories and novels.
Levi didn't say anything to the other people waiting together, but just found a seat and sat down, and then looked at the Qingfeng Newspaper Office aimlessly like a normal person.
I didn't see Ye Xiu. He might have gone out for interviews today. Li Wei looked at the staff in the office area and didn't see Ye Xiu in the photo.
In this way, Levi waited for almost twenty minutes before the man before him entered the reception room. After a while, after seeing the man leave, Levi nodded to him before opening the door and walking into the reception room.
.
The staff in the reception room also handed Li Wei a form according to the regular procedure, which required Li Wei to fill in some information. Li Wei did not hesitate and filled it out according to the requirements of the form. Of course, the things he filled in were all made up.
.
Filling out this form also means that if the submitted manuscript is included, you can contact the recipient and pay him the manuscript fee.
After filling out the form, Levi handed the manuscript he prepared to the staff.
"Hey, where did Reporter Ye go? Why didn't you see him today?" Li Wei, who was about to turn around and leave, seemed to suddenly remember something, and then asked the reception room staff in front of him with a smile on his face.
"You are talking about reporter Ye Xiuye! He is not here today. If you want to find him, you can go to his home to find him." The staff member adjusted his glasses and asked casually.
People like Li Wei, who deliberately say they know the staff in order to build relationships and then increase the circulation rate of the articles they submit, have seen too much, so they are also very skilled in dealing with them.
"Okay, thank you." After hearing what the staff said, Levi was not dissatisfied and continued to reply with a smile, then opened the door and left the reception room.
After coming out of Qingfeng Newspaper Office, Li Wei let out a breath. Ye Xiu was indeed not here today, so he had to think of other solutions.
Now that Ye Xiu's place of employment has been confirmed, he now needs to find his address. For this matter, Li Wei has set his sights on the owner of Qingfeng Newspaper.
After all, according to our understanding, Zhang Qiubei, the owner of Qingfeng Newspaper, can be considered a patriot. He had previously thought about saving the country through industry because of his resentment towards foreigners and his deplorement of the country's humiliation.
Although it failed in the end, it did not give up. Instead, it opened a newspaper. The original intention was to publish a newspaper to open up Chinese people's minds. However, in reality, Qingfeng Newspaper opened into a newspaper that was not very popular.
This is easier said than done. When everyone thinks about doing something, they feel that they have no problem and can definitely do it well according to their own ideas.
But when you actually do this, you will find that the reality is often different from what you thought.
Of course, Li Wei still has some respect for such people, so he doesn't want to go directly to Qingfeng Newspaper Office to find Zhang Qiubei in broad daylight. On the one hand, it will have a bad influence on him. After all, the reputation of people like himself is there.
On the other hand, if you just look for it like this, it will be easy for the news to leak out and it will be inconvenient for covert operations.
Li Wei looked at the time, it was almost 4:30 in the afternoon, and there was still more than an hour before Qingfeng Newspaper Office got off work, so Li Wei said hello to his team members and walked towards a teahouse on the street.
Ordering a pot of tea, a plate of melon seeds and a plate of peanuts, Li Wei drank the tea and waited for the Qingfeng newspaper office to get off work.
Time passed by and suddenly it was too late, and the color was not as withered as it was yesterday. An hour passed quickly, and Li Wei saw the employees of Qingfeng Newspaper Office slowly getting off work, and then he put the tea money on the table.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, Li Wei saw that the employees of Qingfeng Newspaper Office had almost left, while Zhang Qiubei had closed the door ajar and did not go home. Instead, he seemed to have continued back to the office and worked overtime.
Li Wei was also very happy about this. Zhang Qiubei was the best, as it was very convenient for Li Wei and his team members to move.
Li Wei winked at his team members, and two of them quickly walked to the Qingfeng newspaper office, pushed the door open and walked in. Li Wei saw the two team members entering the room, looked around again, and found that there was no
After attracting the attention of passers-by on the road, I walked into the Qingfeng Newspaper Office.
"Boss Zhang, I have admired you for a long time. It is very presumptuous to come to see you at this time today. Please forgive me." Li Wei walked into the Qingfeng newspaper office and saw that two team members had subdued Zhang Qiubei, although Zhang Qiubei was sitting quietly.
He was sitting on the chair, but his face looked very frightened, so Levi bowed his hands and apologized to him.
"Who are you? In broad daylight, what do you want to do?" Obviously Li Wei's words did not have any big effect, but since he was a merchant in Zhangqiubei, he had never encountered anyone or anything before, so Li Wei
After he finished speaking, he mustered up the courage to ask Li Wei.
