Alchemy Greater China

……

There were more than 100 reporters, and quite a few of them were looking forward to Long Hao's bad luck, such as that Dongdong Ke who had entered the countdown to his life... They were finally instigated by Kerim, and they shouted one after another, trying their best to Get the right to observe this bilateral dialogue.

"Okay, you want to meet the mayor, I'll give you this chance! I won't be smeared by your sharp tongue and smearing the beautiful San Francisco into a place where filth is hidden." It's also good, he borrowed the donkey from the slope, pretending to be helpless and spread his hands: "However, this kind of thing is always confidential, ahem, I can only give five places to observe, and the rest of the reporters must wait outside. .”

This is very clear, if you want to grab the headlines, come and compete for these five places!

"Okay, five is five, ranked according to last year's newspaper sales!" The one who shouted was an expatriate reporter from the "Washington Post".

"Fuck off, of course we must follow the principle of proximity, our San Jose Mercury is indispensable!"

"According to the newspaper's balance sheet published last year, our New York Financial News is funded by the Rockefeller Petroleum Group. We have strong funds. We are willing to pay 200 US dollars to buy an audition spot!" Shihao, he missed several wonderful scenes. This time, he was so regretful that he took out the dollar bills directly, trying to make up for the previous 'loss'.

"I agree with the principle of proximity. I just came here. I'm from the San Francisco Chronicle..."

"Ah, you still want to fight for the spot? Everyone beat him up. It's the unscrupulous media like you who deliberately report false news in order to attract attention..."

The five auditing places made these reporters fight hard. After they beat up the Chronicle reporter who came in a hurry because he didn't understand the situation.In the end, the trouble went to Stevenson Jr., asking the police chief to give a fair judgment.

The five auditorium spots are like five fat pieces of bacon, which lured these reporters to salivate, and they did not hesitate to fight for it...

As the policeman incarnate of justice and axiom, Stevenson Jr. gave a very equal and efficient solution: 10 minutes.The five newspapers with the most money will get five auditorium seats!

It seems that money is in command of everything. In just 10 minutes, the two major newspapers in San Francisco were defeated.

The top five newspapers are all large media companies on the east coast of the United States. They have the support of the consortium of the Financial Street, so they are naturally rich and powerful, and I am the best.

After obtaining the right to observe, the reporters of these five newspapers were all beaming.Even looking at the local reporter was full of disdain: country bumpkin, compare money with us?You are still too young!

For this reason, the local reporters in San Francisco were quite upset, and they all complained about the two pillars of the San Francisco media: the Courier and the Chronicle.

You two giants usually suppress us, but now that outsiders are oppressing us, you are silent?

How can it be done just in the nest?

The Courier is led by De Jong Wade himself, he gave up the 'bidding' not to say.But the Chronicle reporter was extremely wronged: Woohoo, I want to bid.But who told me to beat me indiscriminately when I approached?Is it easy for me to come in such a hurry at this late hour?Woohoo, I don't slap people in the face, my mouth is swollen, how can I do interviews later?

Do you still remember?In the afternoon, when Long Hao was performing a demonstration on salvaging a sunken ship.There were no reporters from the Chronicle in the reporter team, and at this time, their reporters showed up here, which could only explain one thing: the news that the commercial harbor was blocked by naval gunboats had already spread in San Francisco.

Yes.Benson's fleet has been blocked outside the harbor for almost two hours. Under Long Hao's secret push, if a big newspaper like Chronicle still doesn't receive any news, it will be too unreasonable!

During the day, the San Francisco stock market has just gone through a day that may be the most turbulent and weirdest since the invention of stocks. How many stockholders are crying and scolding their mothers, looking for those who are responsible, and the San Francisco Chronicle, which released false news, is the first to bear the brunt. Editor-in-chief Parsons was already exhausted, so when he heard that there was a gunboat blockade outside the commercial harbor, why didn't he send the most elite reporters to come?Even he himself hastily left the mansion of Brother De Yang, the founder of the Chronicle, and came to follow up on this big news in person, trying to make a good result, and save the Chronicle from being questioned by all parties. rescued from the quagmire.

Parsons de Young's confidence is unquestionable. As long as he can squeeze into the circle, the leading reporter will buy an auditing right no matter how much he spends. However, he was rejected by his angry colleagues. He was beaten so full of bags that he couldn't even squeeze in!

Since even the San Francisco Chronicle, which was almost nailed to the stigma of the media, can get the news of the gunboat blockade of the harbor, then the rest of the people in the San Francisco area naturally know it better.

For example, tk Morgan, after the market closed, he was about to lead his somewhat dispirited financial team to have a happy nightlife. However, when he heard the news, he jumped up immediately, and just dropped [-] US dollars to The subordinates have already got into the carriage and galloped towards the commercial port.

Before leaving, the experienced tk Morgan also left a message, asking these traders not to play too crazy at night, there may be even more difficult battles to be fought tomorrow!

The sudden departure of the boss made the financial team a little overwhelmed, and the endless sentence made them even more puzzled: What evil battle will be fought tomorrow?When the market opens tomorrow, we'll just wait and see how the Earl's share price soars into the sky!Anyway, the stocks in the earl sector in the market are almost divided up, so there is no room for manipulation!

These traders only focus on the board, so naturally they don't understand the boss's intentions very well, but TK Morgan, as the financial sector'thug' that **oss Long Hao relies on most now, is shocked by the big event of the gunboat blockade, but still has considerable Much guesswork.

How is it so coincidental?

Master Long left a note, just as he asked me to sell the stock, a US Navy gunboat appeared at the port?

Could it be that the young master deliberately arranged it?

Just to make...the stocks in Earl's sector plummet! ?

The more tk Morgan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and the more excited he became, he urged the carriage to go faster and faster, only to arrive at the scene as soon as possible.Only then can I know the real plan of the young master!

Some people are excited, some people are ecstatic.

"Look, let him act arrogantly and make enemies everywhere. Now, he finally hit the iron plate? Father. Are you still determined to support him?"

"Ahem, in Gen, things are not as simple as you imagined. Only by relying on him can the Hongmen grow stronger."

"But now, the American gunboats are blocking the door, and he can't protect himself!"

"Don't jump to conclusions, Zai Gen. Go get the car ready, let's go to the harbor."

Some people are ecstatic, others are worried.

Leland Stanford grabbed old Stevenson: "How are you going to deal with the Navy coming later? Don't tell me, you plan to compromise!"

Old Stevenson smiled wryly, and looked at Leland: "Member Stanford, don't worry, do I look like such a characterless person? The earl has made outstanding contributions to this city, and I will not easily betray him."

Lilan's time in Long Hao's group was too short.Naturally, he didn't know that old Stevenson was actually Long Hao's running dog, so.As soon as he heard the news that the naval gunboats blocked the harbor, he immediately rushed over to find old Stevenson and put pressure on him.

Leland Stanford is now re-entering the political arena. With his qualifications, skills, and funds, he has gained a lot of power and status in the Democratic Party in a short period of time. His current position is a member of parliament.therefore.He was not at all polite to Old Stevenson, the mayor of a city with "low qualifications".

"Hmph, I'll go with you, wait for me, I'll find a hat!"

Leland was still worried in the end.Insisted on listening in on old Stevenson's conversation with Kerim.

Some people are worried, and some are worried. For example, Long Hao, he is very worried now: Finding a woman to put on makeup is simply my biggest mistake in this game!

"I said, two dears, I just want to look a little haggard and a little lost in make-up, without spending so much time?"

Long Hao sat on a wooden chair, in front of him was the busy Ai Shili, and beside him was the equally busy Yuan'er.

The two confidantes held makeup props that would dazzle even an alchemist, tossing back and forth on Long Hao's face, neck, hair, and collar.

Long Hao is like a puppet, let it be manipulated, or like a drawing board, let two female painters splash ink on it and paint as they please.

"Of course not, you are our man, even if you want to be decadent and distracted, you must be different!"

Ai Shili tapped Long Hao's eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil for the 782nd time, shaking her head and said solemnly.

"Yes, Sister Ai is right. Young master, what is your identity now? The wind vane of zss! If you are haggard, you have to look fashionable. Come on, young master, be good, don't move your head, let Yuan'er put on some makeup for you ..."

Yuan'er held a palm-sized powder pad, whispered softly, dipped in whitening powder, and patted Long Hao's face vigorously.

Her eyes were gentle, as if she was back when she was a child, taking care of the young master who was not very sensible: Oh, how time flies, the little one at that time has grown up so big now, and, at night, he is still so good Bullying people, tossing people...

Yuan'er, who was a new wife, thought about it, as if she had put rouge on herself, her cheeks were as red as the sunset.

"Don't put on so much powder, this young master is so tall and handsome, with a pretty face, isn't it a joke?"

Long Hao felt that he had to stand up and resist, otherwise, he would be played to death by these two girls!

"Why doesn't it work after applying powder?"

Ai Shili wrinkled her nose and snorted, "You are an earl, a noble! In Europe, nobles always put powder on their faces. There is no distinction between men and women, and no one ever laughed at you!"

"That's right, young master, do you think that if the powder on your face falls off in a rustle, won't it show your fear and fear?" Yuan'er held back her laugh and said in a playful way.

After working in zss company for so long, Yuan'er's fashion taste is very different from before, she is like half a first-class stylist, and what she says about makeup still carries weight.

Long Hao was speechless for a while, knowing that these two ladies were taking the opportunity to play a prank to retaliate, so he said viciously: "You can do it, when the young master is free, I must strip you and spank each other, hehe. , um..."

A piece of powder was almost stuffed into Long Hao's muttering mouth...

Such a young master lacks a bit of majesty, but has a bit more kindness like a boy next door, which is extremely rare.It is also extremely cute, and this cuteness was also seen by Chini Carbonella.

She was originally waiting outside Long Hao's 'dressing room', but when she heard that Kerim had met the old Mayor Stevenson, according to the previous agreement, she knocked on the door to inform Long Hao.

"Come in!"

As soon as the dressing room was opened, even though Qi Ni had gone through hardships and was full of vicissitudes, she couldn't help laughing after seeing Long Hao's appearance.The style of that smile, where there is no trace of pearl yellow in her thirties, she is completely a juicy, pink and tender girl in her early twenties.

Because Qi Ni didn't wear a veil, not only did Long Hao look dumbfounded by this beautiful smile like a silver bell, but even Ai Shili and Yuan'er, who came to see her later, were lost for a while: This old woman is so...so beautiful ah!

To make Chini Carbonella laugh, Long Hao's appearance can naturally be described as funny.His hair was messed up into a chicken coop, and his originally handsome face was covered with inferior yellowing powder.As soon as the muscles trembled, scum fell away.His eyes were sunken, his lips were dry, and the collar of his best shirt was turned up in a mess. He was a decadent young man who was devastated, lost in love and hunger strike!

It's more poignant than cute, at least our Lady Caponeira for a moment.Impulsiveness surged up, wanting to hold this tall boy in his arms so as to comfort him.

How else should I say, what about Zheng Taike's wife?

Although he knew that the other party was pretending to be like this on purpose, the contrast was too strong, the current Long Hao.How can there be any majestic appearance of flying across the sea to save the United States and ordering the bombing and sinking of ships?

After concentrating on it, Chini explained the reason for her visit, and at the end she added a little worried: "My lord, are you dressing up like this to deliberately show weakness so that the gunboats outside the harbor will withdraw first?"

Chini Caponera knew about the fact that Long Hao crashed and destroyed five American destroyers alone, and it was precisely because of this that she vaguely guessed that the six terrifying battleships were here to seek revenge. Hao's hands and tails were very clean before, but this is the mentality of being a thief. If he does something bad and the victim comes to his door, he will always feel anxious.

"Thank you ma'am Guan...poof!"

Long Hao grinned, but unexpectedly the powder fell into his mouth, causing him to cough again in exasperation, while Chini was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth again, her delicate body swayed, and she laughed beautifully.

"Two stinky girls, make me up like this, and take care of you afterward!"

Long Hao spit out the powder in his mouth, half-truthfully glared at Ashley and Yuan'er who fled far away and giggled coquettishly, and then said to Chini: "Mrs. Carbonella, you Don't worry, everything is under my control, then you can just watch the show from the sidelines! Is the envoy of the navy coming? I'll go there right away. His ultimate goal is me. Without me as the protagonist, nothing will be fun , the script can’t continue.”

After finishing speaking, Long Hao suddenly took Qi Ni's little hand and walked out very naturally.

Chini Carbonella was taken aback for a moment, her first reaction was to break free, but then she remembered how Long Hao had been choked by the powder slag just now, and she felt happy again, so she pretended not to know, and the back of the crystal earlobe turned reddish, Let him lead: this Earl of Beihai is just a child...

After explaining the reactions of all parties, we will turn our attention back to Kerim.

There was a short time delay. At about 10:[-] p.m., a group of police officers from Stevenson and the group of reporters who had filmed or failed to film "audience rights" came in mighty force. Arrived in front of a large warehouse.

There are many such large warehouses in commercial docks, and they are usually used to store large-scale goods. At this time, under the cover of night, the doors of the warehouses were closed tightly, but a lot of light was revealed from the cracks in the doors and windows. .

Obviously, the inside is bright, that is to say, the conversation between Kerim and the mayor will be held in this place, if nothing unexpected happens.

At this moment, the group of reporters were a little stunned, because it was completely different from what they imagined: shouldn't such an important and confidential conversation take place in a gloomy and narrow room?If the place of the conversation is such a big and bright warehouse, then... what's the matter with the "only five" listening rights?

Such a large warehouse, in terms of space, can accommodate everyone!

Little Stevenson received the money, just when he was happy, with pride and a smile on his face, he stopped, turned to the reporters and said: "I just received a notice from the mayor, because of this The matter of naval gunboats blocking the harbor was too big. He thought about it and decided to announce the matter to the whole United States. The conversation he had with Captain Kerim would also be released to newspapers across the United States at the same time! Therefore, it was not enough. Enough now, reporters, we need you to write instant press releases, operate those telegraphs, and send the conversation here back to the major cities of the United States as soon as possible!"

As soon as Stevenson finished speaking, the reporters were stunned for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

Nima, this is a back-and-forth, a naked fraud!

Just now you sold the 'rare' five auditing rights for money, but now the money in your pocket is still hot, so you suddenly changed your mind, and all reporters can audition! ?

Hey, your police station is also a government unit, can you have some credibility, it is immoral to deceive the people like this! (To be continued..)
