Chapter 152 Abnormal earthquake
With the joining of Tony and the others, the crisis situation of the 'News Agency' has been solved, and the effect is better than Zhang Taibai expected. This can be seen by looking at the cheerful old Warren.
Compared with when Zhang Taibai saw him before, his mental outlook was completely different.
Originally, the 'News Agency' faced two problems. The first was that commentators were poached by the 'Paradise Newspaper' and the problem of user loss was no longer a problem; and the second problem was that there were many The old partners of "Extraordinary Times" have become ambiguous in their attitude because of Rudolf's absence, and some have even simply stopped contacting them.
This is very detrimental to the 'Extraordinary Times', because for the newspaper, the timeliness of news is crucial. Without some partners, information will be delayed.
Of course, compared with the collective poaching of commentators, the problems of the partners are not highlighted, because the consequences of the latter will take a certain period of time to occur, but the former will have immediate results. As soon as the commentators are poached, the number of users will be huge. Scale loss, so it is the most urgent.
But now that the Avengers have joined, the former problem has been solved directly, and then we need to start solving the latter problem.
Zhang Taibai originally planned to go directly to the partners one by one to have a good chat. He didn't think that he wouldn't be able to do what Rudolph could do.
But Old Warren told him not to bother him for the time being, because the addition of the Avengers not only solved the problem of user loss, but to the outside world, this was also a muscle show for the 'Extraordinary Times'. It can be seen from the side The soft power of 'Extraordinary Times'.
Therefore, some of those ambiguous partners will definitely take the initiative to reconcile, and even those who have broken off their contacts may come back to us.
What we have to do now is let the bullets fly for a while, don't worry.
Even Old Warren said this, and Zhang Taibai was happy to be free. After entrusting the trivial matters to Laura, Zhang Taibai became the hands-off shopkeeper again.
……
This afternoon, the store happened to be relatively busy. Zhang Taibai was sitting in his most commonly used booth in the corner, using his mobile phone to browse the 'Extraordinary Times' client.
As he browsed, an inconspicuous piece of news caught his attention.
[A 4.5-magnitude earthquake occurred in XXXX, Egypt, causing heavy casualties. The epicenter was close to the surface, but there was no sign of an explosion. It has attracted the attention of relevant departments! 】
This report was very inconspicuous. Zhang Taibai clicked in and took a look and found that the number of comments was very few, only single digits. It can be said that basically no one paid attention to it.
If Zhang Taibai hadn't just returned from Egypt and visited the Tomb of Imhotep, and he happened to be sensitive to Egypt, he probably wouldn't have paid special attention to it.
But it was this unwarranted attention that made him realize something was wrong.
Is the earthquake source close to the surface?
That alone is weird enough.
Because this means that this earthquake was not really caused by changes in the earth's crust, but some kind of powerful impact that shook the earth. This situation is often caused by man-made events such as explosions or nuclear tests. , so the earthquake source will be close to the surface.
But this news also said that there were no obvious signs of an explosion.
This is undoubtedly somewhat contradictory.
After Zhang Taibai noticed this, he immediately called Old Warren.
"Good afternoon, boss, what can I do?" Old Warren answered the phone and asked with a smile.
"There is an article in today's news about the XXXX earthquake in Egypt. I want to talk to the person who wrote this news. If it is convenient for you, help me find him and ask him to call me."
"No problem, I'll contact him right away." Old Warren agreed happily.
Zhang Taibai put down his cell phone and waited for the call.
It only took about a minute or so.
Son, the cell phone rang.
"This old Warren is quite efficient." Zhang Taibai smiled and shook his head. At the same time, he picked up the phone from the table and answered the channel, "Hello?"
"Hello boss, I'm Johnson, the reporter who reported on the earthquake in Egypt. Director Warren said you want to see me?" A very respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, I want to ask you something." Zhang Taibai said.
"Please speak."
"Why did you report this news? Earthquake news should have nothing to do with the world of extraordinary beings. Why was it included in the 'Extraordinary Times'?" Zhang Taibai's tone showed no emotion or anger.
But Johnson on the other end of the phone suddenly thought that Zhang Taibai was dissatisfied and disapproved of his work, and said in a panic, "I'm sorry, boss, I, I will definitely pay attention next time..."
"Don't be nervous. I don't mean to criticize you. I just want to understand why you noticed this." Zhang Taibai reassured.
Johnson on the other end of the phone felt more at ease, calmed down and said, "That's the boss, I happened to be on a business trip to Egypt these days, originally for another thing, and then I felt an earthquake, and The city I live in is not far from there...After noticing that the earthquake source was close to the surface, my intuition told me that there might be something fishy about it."
"So I simply rushed to the place where the earthquake occurred overnight to conduct an investigation."
"What is your conclusion?" Zhang Taibai asked.
"My conclusion is that this matter is likely to be related to the world of extraordinary beings!" Johnson on the other end of the phone was very determined at this time.
"How to say?"
"For an earthquake like this with its source close to the surface, I think you, boss, should know what this means. I only confirmed after conducting on-site inspections that there was no such large-scale explosion here." Johnson continued.
"Why are you so sure?" Zhang Taibai was a little curious.
"To be honest with the boss, I am a mutant, and my ability is to enhance the sense of smell and vision. Although it is only an auxiliary ability, it has brought a lot of help to my career." Johnson was still very proud when he said this, " Based on my many years of experience and my feelings after conducting on-site investigations, I can basically conclude that this earthquake has nothing to do with explosions or anything like that."
"So you think this matter has something to do with the world of extraordinary beings?"
"Yes, I can only think of this possibility." Johnson admitted honestly. "The only problem is that the movement this time is really too big. The vibration force of this scale is almost comparable to some large-scale vibrations." If it is really related to the world of extraordinary beings, then whether it is something or someone that caused this earthquake, it is too terrible..."
When Johnson said this, he was a little frightened by his own guess. He had not thought deeply about it before. Only when he talked with Zhang Taibai did he realize the horror of the matter!
When Zhang Taibai heard this, a name suddenly popped into his mind——
"Are you still in Egypt now?" Zhang Taibai asked.
"Still." Johnson responded.
"Come back quickly, Egypt may not be peaceful in the near future." Zhang Taibai said thoughtfully.
"Boss, do you know what's going on?" Johnson understood something.
"I'm not sure, it's just a guess, but if my guess is right, then you will soon know what happened to this earthquake... Don't ask any more questions, book your tickets as soon as possible, the sooner you leave, the better Okay, if the company asks, just tell me what I said, well, that's it." Zhang Taibai explained.
Johnson heard what Zhang Taibai said was so serious and realized that the situation might be critical. He quickly said, "Okay boss, I'll go directly to the airport."
"Interesting, could it be that one who showed up..." Zhang Taibai rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.
Thinking of this, he felt it was necessary to contact Tutankharn.
