The big newspaper office can receive the news from the telegraph bureau directly, the small newspaper office also has own eavesdropping on channel. 猫有猫道,鼠有鼠道。大报社可以直接从电报局获得消息,小报社也有自己的探听渠道。 This does not ambush the British empire Times in small lane, similarly received the message, but with did not have the time checking genuine and fake for Undokri of news editor-in-chief. 这不潜伏在小巷子里的大不列颠帝国时报,同样收到了消息,不过同为新闻主编的恩德里就没功夫核实真假了。 Looks at the subordinate to send the article, Undokri overrules immediately said: „ The front content becomes invalid completely, everyone diligently, as far as possible catches up with some contents to come out. 看着手下人送来文章,恩德里当即否决道:“前面的内容全部作废,大家都努力一下,尽可能的多赶一些内容出来。 Remembers that our cores, must highlight the new idea, the content must have the tensity. ” 记得我们的核心,必须要突出新意,内容要有张力。” The young men is: „But Editor-in-chief, we only know Huatesi assassination, the concrete process does not know totally!” 青年男子为难道:“可是主编,我们只知道华特斯遇刺,具体经过一概不知啊！” What question is intern Karina, to reduce run cost, the British empire Times most liked recruiting the rookie. 问话的是实习生卡里纳,为了降低运行成本,大不列颠帝国时报最喜欢招收新人了。 Naturally, since is the rookie, naturally also has various issues.

Today or the British empire Times, can the English empire Times, be able to be tomorrow the day after tomorrow...... 这一点,从他多次更换马甲就可以看出来。今天还是大不列颠帝国时报,明天就可以英格兰帝国时报,后天又可以是…… First replied: „In!” 抢先回答道:“在！” The sound has not fallen, Undokri already moving forward to meet somebody of having mind filled with smile: „Old friend does not see for a long time, is quick requests personally.” 声音未落,恩德里已经满腹笑容的迎上去:“老朋友好久不见,快里面请。” „Karina, helping me make two cups of best coffee.” “卡里纳,帮我冲两杯最好的咖啡。” ...... …… Two people have cooperated, does not have what friendship, even Undokri does not know the name of grey clothes man. 两人只是合作过,并不存在什么交情,甚至恩德里都不知道灰衣男子的名字。 However this does not affect two people cooperation, Undokri always poses as the bottom line of journalist, always only sought the wealth, did not inquire about the status of employer. 不过这不影响两人的合作,恩德里一贯都以新闻人的底线自居,从来都只求财,不过问雇主的身份。 This is also his employed many years, published numerous secret news, not eliminated a potential informant reason. 这也是他从业多年,刊登了众多秘密新闻,还没被人灭口的原因。 The grey clothes man put out a piece of article to supplement this check to hand over, said slowly: „In the shortest time, publishes this above content, these 50 pounds were your.” 灰衣男子拿出了一片文章附带这一张支票递了过去,缓缓说道:“在最短的时间内,把这上面的内容刊登出来,这五十英镑就是你的了。” Undokri urgently the reply, carefully had not instead been reading. Any industry has the guild regulations, the street tabloid is no exception, issued that the different recent news have the different prices. 恩德里没有急着回答,反而仔细阅读了起来。任何行业都有行规,街头小报也不例外,发布不同的新闻消息也有不同的价格。 Generally speaking, the content is the sensitive price is higher, the risk that naturally needs to take is also bigger. 一般来说,内容越是敏感价格越高,当然需要承担的风险也越大。 Otherwise, the ordinary content is similar to the advertisement. British empire Times sales volume is only several thousand street tabloids, the advertisement is not valuable. 反之,普通内容就和广告差不多。大不列颠帝国时报这种销量只有几千份的街头小报,广告不值钱。 After moment time, Undokri is frowning to reply: „ Content does not calculate that can publish sensitively, was only this title goes too far? 片刻功夫后,恩德里皱着眉头回答道:“内容不算敏感可以刊登,只是这个标题太过分了吧？ «Russia Person Invades Indian Prelude», your excellency merely one assassination case, does not have any substantive evidence, pulls is so far, rather some extremely. 《俄国人入侵印度的前奏》,阁下仅仅一个刺杀案,没有任何实质性的证据,就扯这么远,未免有些太过了。 Publishes, will affect our newspaper the prestige, must revise, for example: «Vigilant Russia Person Invades Indian», or is «Russia Person Conspiracy». 这么刊登出去,会影响我们报纸的声誉,必须要修改一下,比如说:《警惕俄国人入侵印度》,或者是《俄国人的阴谋》。 Finally is in any case same, assassinates Huatesi suspicion to aim at the Russia person. ” 反正结果都一样,刺杀华特斯的嫌疑都会指向俄国人。” The request of Undokri, the grey clothes man has not paid attention, that only then coldly: „55 pounds!” 恩德里的要求,灰衣男子没有理会,只有冷冷的一句:“55英镑！” The indifferent attitude to grey clothes man, Undokri is at heart uncomfortable, but he is really the arrogance does not get up facing the donor. 对灰衣男子的冷漠态度,恩德里心里非常不爽,但是面对金主他实在是傲气不起来。 This year pound purchasing power is powerful enough, one pound can purchase 100 pounds black bread in London.( Approximately 45 kilograms) 这年头英镑的购买力足够强大,一英镑可以在伦敦购买100磅黑面包。(约45千克) 55 pounds, quite in Yu Ende operate a newspaper two months of profit, this enough has made him reduce the bottom line. 55英镑,相当于恩德里经营报纸两个月的利润,这已经足够令他降低底线了。 After hesitant moment time, the Undokri experimental offer said: „60 pounds, I must be responsible for the newspaper office.” 犹豫了片刻功夫后,恩德里尝试性的报价道:“60英镑,我必须要对报社负责。” The grey clothes man shows a faint smile, pulled out 10 pounds to hand over refreshedly. Does not need Undokri to continue to open the mouth, turns around to leave directly. 灰衣男子微微一笑,爽快的掏出了十英镑递了过去。不待恩德里继续开口,直接转身离开。 ...... ……
