"You don't need to worry about this. It doesn't matter what his status is. What's important is that we have common interests."
Upon hearing these words, Duke's expression moved slightly, and his tone was uncontrollably filled with excitement.
News channels are also part of a journalist’s professional capabilities. This is not only a reflection of business capabilities, but also a test of a person’s communication skills.
Everything went so smoothly.
This time, he didn't blame her for not knocking on the door. Duke, who was very happy, just felt that everything he looked at was so pleasing to the eye. He played with the pen cap in his hand and looked at Camille who walked in and said pleasantly.
"Then I'll say thank you in advance."
Camille's eyebrows were raised slightly haughtily.
He often dealt with "a certain unnamed White House official", and it can be said that he was well versed in this as early as his youth, so he spoke without hesitation.
"Your vacation is over. I will replenish you in two weeks. Before tonight, I want to see an edited press release about the major flaws in the design of the Yuegong core module and the delay of China's lunar orbiting space station plan. . It is not ruled out that other newspapers have also caught wind of the news. We must get ahead of everyone. If the situation is optimistic, it will be on the headlines tomorrow!"
After a simple weighing, he made this decision easily.
Seeing that his guess was confirmed by her, Duke's expression instantly became wonderful.
Oh no, God bless the New York Times!
Looking at Camille's leaving figure, Duke curled his lips and reached out to pick up the press release on the table.
Camille said quickly.
Duke knows that there is no free lunch in the world. If you want cooperation to continue for a long time, you must meet the needs of the other party while breaking the news.
Since entering the Internet era, this is the first time that the sales volume of The New York Times has increased by more than 20% for two consecutive months. And at least half of all the credit is inseparable from his department.
Leaning back on the chair, Duke smiled and said, "Lucky guy, let me hear it."
Then Anderson's excited voice came from the phone receiver.
Camille said slowly with a smile on her lips.
Duke smiled nonchalantly and said: "Yes, yes, it's your informant, your news... So, how should I praise you? Give you a salary increase?"
At this moment, the office door opened, and Kamil, a reporter from the current affairs panel editorial department, walked in quickly with high heels.
Camille said in a relaxed tone: "If we want to make this matter bigger, it's best to make a headline for it."
Although he was happy to see his news making headlines, Camille was a little dissatisfied with Duke's statement and emphasized one sentence.
"From the same source?"
The last time China planned to build a space station on the moon, the New York Times reported it even faster than China’s central media. The reason why the manuscript was published so quickly was largely due to Camille’s informant.
After saying that, Camille turned around gracefully and walked out of the office with a gust of fragrant wind.
"There were serious design flaws in Yuegong. After the loop heat pipe was routed, it was discovered that the efficiency of the cooling system was not up to standard... China's moon landing plan may be severely frustrated... Is this news true?"
"I think it's better for you to read it yourself." After saying that, Camille threw the report in his hand on the desk and looked at the Duke editor-in-chief with a proud look on his face. "I believe you will definitely be impressed by this." Shocking with the good news!”
God bless America!
Not bothering to repeat what Camille said, Duke conveniently dragged the attachment that Camille had just sent to his mailbox onto the icon of Anderson's mailbox.
"You're welcome, do you have time tonight? I know a good restaurant."
Because this not only means that you can prevent colleagues from prying into your secrets, but it is also a symbol of identity and status.
Even now, Duke still remembers how gratifying the number of topics the New York Times report generated on Twitter was, and he also clearly remembers the company's boss praising him at the meeting.
"Big news, coming from across the Pacific."
"A separate office, and an assistant, that's what I deserve."
Duke said pleasantly.
Maybe in two months, it will be time for him to change offices.
"Unfortunately, I have other plans for the evening."
So unbelievable!
After a while, a quiet complaint came from the other end of the phone.
To be honest, he was a little impatient...
At that time, they used a mocking tone and gave the hat of "overestimating their own capabilities" to their opponents. If it is revealed now that the design of Yuegong has failed and the launch plan has been postponed, it will echo their previous article from beginning to end.
"He's my informant."
"Jesus-Christ!"
The New York Times Building.
Being able to have your own office instead of working in a hall can be said to be the professional aspiration or dream of every budding reporter.
Before he finished speaking, there was a series of violent noises on the other end of the phone, as if something had been hit on the ground.
"... It seems that your old friend in China has a high status."
Duke rubbed his hands excitedly and couldn't move his eyes away from the document on the table.
If news like this doesn't make the headlines, even the Statue of Liberty will be disappointed in him.
When Duke heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "That's easy! I will meet his needs... Or rather, if our informant doesn't ask for it, I will do the same!"
Camille didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.
"What do they want?"
Under the influence of such a public opinion environment, all reports about the Ares Project have been enthusiastically pursued by people.
There is no need to create too much atmosphere at all, just a little simple artistic processing and a shocking headline, and the entire newspaper will be sold out quickly.
"The relevant information has been sent to your mailbox, please take your time and read it yourself."
However, just when he saw the title, his eyes were glued to the paper and he couldn't move away at all.
After listening to Camille's request, Duke frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed and said pleasantly.
What better way to set off the success of Ares's plan than the defeat of the enemy
New York.
Camille's lips curved into a wishful smile.
"What? Wait, China is asking for an extension to the space station plan? When did it happen? Is the news reliable? I'll come to the company now!"
If he hadn't saved the sweet taste to the last drop, he would have been tempted to open the bottle of champagne that he had stored in his refrigerator for a long time.
A reporter with a special source of information is worth the necessary cost for the company to retain.
"What's going on? Or is there some big news?"
Thanks to the successful launch of the life support unit, NASA news hit the headlines of all major media, making many people feel like they were back in that passionate era, when the Stars and Stripes were invincible.
Even without waiting for the life support unit to land on the moon, he is confident that the sales of the New York Times in North America will rise to a new level again.
After saying that, Duke hung up the phone and leaned back on the office chair comfortably.
Thinking of the skyrocketing KPI data, he couldn't help but feel fascinated.
"It's easy. I will suggest to the boss that your ability is indeed worthy of an assistant and an independent office."
Duke's editor-in-chief, sitting at his desk, looked at the increasing popularity of the topic on the computer screen, grinning from ear to ear with joy.
"But BOSS, I'm on vacation."
Although Kamil is not a budding reporter, working in a globally renowned newspaper like The New York Times means she faces considerable competition.
"Anderson, come to the company immediately."
"Remember the informant in China I told you about last time? And the news about China's plan to build a space station in lunar orbit."
Putting the report on the table, Duke stood up with his hands on the table, stared at Camille with bright eyes, and said excitedly.
Line by line, Duke quickly read the report to the end. Duke kept rubbing his index finger on the paper. A look of excitement gradually appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but utter a curse word under his breath.
Duke raised his eyebrows, sat up straight in his chair, and picked up the report with interest.
