Chapter 867: Responsibility and Conspiracy Theory

.Fan Wubing received Sheng Wei who came to interview in the reception room of the company headquarters, as well as Richard, a professional writer of the American Time magazine and his photographer who visited at the same time.

It didn't take Fan Wubing much time to meet him. As a professional writer for Time magazine in the United States, Richard has become very familiar with the conciseness of the questions. He knows that the American people are most concerned about, whether it is a large aircraft project or a rare earth strategy, ordinary people will not care about these issues. Therefore, he raised Fan Wubing a question that the American people are most concerned about.

"Mr. Fan, you have always been negative about the durability of the Internet economy. So how long do you think the popularity of Nasdaq can last?" Richard put forward his important goals for this trip at the end of the visit.

As an important force in the American economic intelligence community, the American Time magazine's analysis of the economic situation is also quite unique. Therefore, Richard, who has been following the domestic and international economic situation for a long time, also believes that the madness of the Nasdaq is a bit unexpected, and its collapse is inevitable. However, no one expected that the Nasdaq, which had originally been seriously out of its imagination in the middle of last year, is still rising wildly at this time.

This is a bit incomprehensible, so when Richard encounters this opportunity to interview Fan Wubing, of course, he has to ask. After all, Fan Wubing is a legendary figure in the American financial industry, and at least everyone in the circle knows a little.

Sure enough, after hearing this question, Fan Wubing hesitated for a moment, and then said to Richard, "It's only three months at most. Nasdaq will definitely plummet, and it will continue to fall."

Richard got the answer he cared about the most, and then asked the photographer to take a series of photos of Fan Wubing, intending to choose the most perfect one as the cover character next month, which is the Lunar New Year.

After sending Richard and others away, Sheng Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "I still feel some pressure when I sit in the same room as the internationally renowned contributors."

Fan Wubing smiled and asked someone to pour her a cup of coffee, then said, "Actually, there is nothing, it's just that there are differences in habits, which makes you feel that this person is a bit unfathomable. In fact, from the perspective of China's national conditions alone, Richard is also in a dark state when he comes to China."

"Only focusing on other people's strengths is the driving force for progress. Why do you often encourage me to show other weaknesses?" Sheng asked with a smile.

"That's right! You just need to show the other party's weaknesses!" Fan Wubing clapped his hands and explained, "You journalists should pay attention to problems that others cannot notice. Just talking about the glorious side of someone, readers are too lazy to see. You must dig deep into the other party's weaknesses, dark sides, etc., so that they can attract readers. You must know that most people's psychology is basically inclined to the dark side. Although the mouth is benevolence, righteousness and morality, there are male thieves and prostitutes in their bones. Only when you understand the ugliness of human nature can you become a successful media."

Sheng Wei heard Fan Wubing teach her here, and forgot to drink the coffee she held in her hand. After a long time, she took a sip and then frowned and asked, "Are you hinting that I want to write more information about you?"

"Oh, of course I can't say that. What a sunny person I am." Fan Wubing wisely changed the topic and asked, "You seem to say you want to ask some questions about rare earth issues?"

"Oh, there have been a lot of discussions on this topic recently, but most people are vague. We hope to get some more accurate information from Mr. Fan, who is in charge of China's rare earth industry." Sheng Wei sat upright after hearing Fan Wubing's words and said seriously.

Fan Wubing nodded and replied, "I can talk more about this issue, but some situations are not suitable for the table. After you sort it out, let me take a look and delete those sensitive topics to the table."

"It's no problem." Sheng Wei nodded and replied. She was very curious. What's the difference this time?

"This time, overseas countries jointly put pressure on domestic areas on the rare earth issue is not an isolated incident." Fan Wubing said to Sheng Wei first.

Sheng Wein listened, in fact, she probably also had a sense of identity. The life of any event would not be isolated, and there would be a cause and effect, especially when such major events related to international relations were made public, it would be impossible without a little insider trading.

It is precisely because of this kind of insider trading that the profession of journalists is full of challenges. What they most desire is to expose those unknown insider stories, and after satisfying the public's right to know, it also brings them the maximization of reputation and interests.

A successful journalist cannot avoid the words "insider trading". In fact, journalists who only go back to film some news that suits the situation according to the government's requirements are not worthy of being the title of journalist. The title of journalist should only belong to those vanguards in the press who have conscience and have a sense of social responsibility.

"Actually, as a private media, some official situations that are inconvenient to report are true or basically true, you can reveal them-" This sentence is an important reason why Fan Wubing was interviewed by Sheng Wei.

Although we are friends with good relationships, Fan Wubing is far from being as lustful as if she is so stupid. Yes, Sheng Wei is very beautiful and has a temperament. The temptation of the young woman after the divorce is also amazing. But these cannot allow Fan Wubing to provide her with inside information that is not suitable for public disclosure.

"In fact, if you want to report something that others have not reported, you will often suffer a lot of pressure-" Fan Wubing said to Sheng Wei, "It's like Kevin Carter, a photographer who took that very famous photo, "Waiting for the Vultures of Little Girls."

Sheng Wei nodded. As an insider, she naturally knew about this.

In the picture of "The Vulture Waiting for Eating a Little Girl", there is a scene where a Sultanian girl is struggling on the way to the relief station, about to starve to death and kneel down on the ground, while the vulture is not far behind the girl, staring at her, waiting to hunt the girl.

This photo made black photographer Kevin Carter win the Pulitzer Prize in 1994, and he became famous overnight for the photo. This photo that shocked the world attracted a lot of criticism and doubts. Some people asked why the photographer didn't help the little girl at that time?

When people asked about the whereabouts of the little girl, unfortunately, Carter didn't know. A few months later, because he could not stand the pressure of public opinion, he used a hose to lead the exhaust gas of the car into the car and committed suicide. At the age of 33, people found a note he left in the car seat, which said it was really, I'm really sorry to everyone. The pain of life has far exceeded the level of joy.

The photo clearly shows the true situation of the Great Six Famines sweeping across Africa. From 1970 to 1985, a continuous drought disaster swept across Africa from Senegal to Ethiopia, and thus led to the most destructive famine in world history.

At that time, Carter successfully attracted the attention of the people of the world to the Great Famine in Africa because of this photo, and saved many refugees. However, he committed suicide early because of the doubts of many people.

In fact, Fan Wubing regrets Carter's death. As a black journalist, he obviously does not have much ability to help the hungry refugees. All he can do is to do his best to awaken those who are capable of helping these refugees, and in fact he drove away the vulture.

People often do this, without considering how to help thousands of refugees struggling on the brink of life and death, they are making things difficult for a weak journalist who has no ability to use the camera in their hands to awaken their attention to the Great Famine in Africa. Human morality has been distorted at this moment.

"How to protect yourself is actually a necessary skill for being a reporter." Fan Wubing said to Sheng Wei.

Sheng Wei nodded, and then asked, "Mr. Fan, you have been talking to me for so long, and haven't gotten to the point yet? What I want to know is, what is this inside story?"

"In fact, this incident is not only caused by the international community's concerns about the reduction in domestic rare earth exports, but also closely related to the large aircraft project we are planning." Fan Wubing said to Sheng Wei.

"It's closely related to the big aircraft project?" Sheng Wei suddenly felt enlightened. This was something that other media had not reported.

"When the Yun-1O project was about to be successful, Americans thought it was a big problem, so McDonald's company sent a Chinese American to persuade the wife of a powerful person to dismount the Yun-1O project on the wife route, causing our large aircraft manufacturing technology to lag behind forty years. At that time or now, it was a very successful crisis public relations." Fan Wubing said to Sheng Wei, "McDonald's company won the Chinese Big 6 market. The US government saw that China destroyed the Great Wall and abandoned its own research technology. It can be said that everyone was happy. The only one who suffered the loss was the Chinese. They no longer had the technical ability to manufacture large aircraft and lost the foundation for further development."

Sheng Wei obviously didn't understand this situation. Although she had been in Shanghai for a long time, she had never understood this matter. The official media obviously would not report such matters objectively. Except for some parties involved, they had no chance to know this inside story. Even in the official position, this kind of topic is a taboo.

"It is not a good thing to be a venerable person. Some officials who are subordinates should act according to Shangguan's expression and think about Shangguan's thoughts. This is not a phenomenon that modern countries should have." Fan Wubing said to Sheng Wei, "The reason why I chose to accept your interview in Shanghai instead of in the capital is because I want to avoid various official or semi-official media ties and use entertainment and financial magazines with relatively better press freedom atmosphere. I say something."

"Can you be sure that it won't cause our magazine to close?" Sheng Wei asked a little worriedly.

Although "Oriental News Interview" can often use the heavy lifting of Shengwei to get a lot of exclusive news information, and sales have soared, Shengwei is also worried that if he does something, he will be ordered to rectify it by the news review department or directly posted a seal on the magazine's door, so he has to ask Fan Wubing first.

"That's not that I'm not the kind of person who breaks bridges across the river, right?" Fan Wubing smiled and then said, "The companies that have put pressure on China on the rare earth policy this time are mainly American industrial enterprises, including large arms dealers such as Raytheon, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin. One of the common characteristics of these arms dealers is that they all produce aircraft projects, and whether they are large transport aircraft or civil aircraft, they can be regarded as leaders in the industry."

"Oh, that's the case." Sheng Wei nodded, and understood a little.

"The large aircraft project is a driving activity for civil aircraft, so they naturally do not want to get entangled with the Chinese on this issue, so they think of an indirect way. After all, the rare earth policy is not only related to the interests of the Americans. With such protests, the EU, Japan and South Korea will also agree, which can increase their international influence." Fan Wubing explained to Sheng Wei, "In this way, their goal will be achieved. Once they find a very reasonable and justified request, the Americans have the excuse to interfere in the Chinese market, and finally through insider negotiations with the government, they will try to ruin the large aircraft project again."

"It sounds like a very reasonable and sinister conspiracy." Sheng Wei expressed doubts after hearing this.

Although Fan Wubing is confident, Sheng Wei still needs to adopt a more cautious attitude to analyze these inside information from the perspective of a journalist. After all, as a responsible reporter, it is impossible for him to casually use those irresponsible remarks as the main argument for his articles.

Sheng Wei was able to get to Fan Wubing's eyes and also have her current status in "Interview with Oriental News", which is inseparable from her professional attitude. This is beyond doubt. Therefore, even if Fan Wubing said, she needs to carefully analyze and summarize so that she can use her article with confidence.
